"What do you mean, benefactor? Be it civil officials or generals, how can the subordinates of the Tartar Emperor be compared to the civil and military officials of my Ming Dynasty?”
"Don't you think Benefactor Fang's words were exaggerated?”
Zhu Biao asked in confusion.
Whether it was culture or wealth, the Central Plains had always beaten the surrounding barbarians since ancient times. How could they be weaker than those Tartars in terms of civil and military officials?
This was simply unbelievable!
"The reason is very simple. Because the Tartar's ministers know how to do business?”
"You know how to do business?"
Everyone blinked in confusion.
What did this have to do with business?
Seeing everyone's expressions, Fang Yunfei knew that they didn't understand what he meant. He cleared his throat and said,
"The Tartar Emperor's ministers come from all over the world. Those perverted people from the Western Regions and Persia had been doing business since childhood, so they naturally knew a little about the economy.”
"Under their influence, the Tartar Emperor not only realized that paper money could not be issued indiscriminately, but he would also take back and destroy the excessive paper money from time to time.”
"But the ministers of my Ming Dynasty are either from the bottom or some scholars who have cultivated and passed down their families. How would they know about these merchants? It was normal for them to not understand the logic behind this.”
Fang Yunfei explained.
"I see."
"I understand."
"Hmm…I understand now.”
“……”
After Fang Yun Fei's explanation, Li Shan Chang and the others immediately understood.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and businessmen.
Although merchants were rich, they were considered the bottom of society in the traditional concept of China.
Not to mention Li Shan Chang, Wu Lin, and the other traditional scholars who cultivated and passed down their families, they looked down on merchants.
Even Xu Da and Lan Yu, who were poor people who had nothing at the time, had their first thoughts of becoming outstanding. It was also to join the army and not to do business.
Only those Tartars with no background would put lecherous people who were merchants in an important position.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was full of civil and military officials, but no one was proficient in business.
"Then Young Master Fang, how did the Tartar officials determine that the banknotes were issued indiscriminately? How did he determine how many notes to destroy?”
As soon as his worries were gone, Lee Shan Chang's wisdom immediately occupied the high ground again.
"Old Li, Old Li! Why don't I say that you should be the prime minister of our Great Ming Dynasty! He was able to grasp the main point of the problem every time!”
Fang Yun Fei pointed at him and laughed loudly, laughing so hard that Li Shan Chang's face turned green!
Lee Shan Chang, Lee Shan Chang!
Why can't you control your mouth?
In the future, you'll be unlucky because of this mouth!
"Young Master Fang, then how do you think these Tartar officials judged?”
Wu Lin was also very curious.
If they knew how much paper money to destroy like the Tartar ministers, wouldn't all the problems be solved?
"It's very simple. This was because the paper money issued by the Tartars was truly linked to gold and silver.”
"Every time they issue a banknote, they will reserve a banknote worth of gold or silver in the national treasury. When the commoners needed it, they could exchange it at any time.”
"It's easy for the Tartars to determine how many banknotes they want to destroy.”
"We just need to go to the Ministry of Revenue to check how much paper money has been issued, and then go to the national treasury to check how much gold and silver there is in reserve, and calculate the difference.”
"Destroy as many notes as you need.”
"It's that simple!"
Fang Yunfei explained to everyone.
So that was the case!
Everyone was desperate!
"That is to say, if my Ming Dynasty's treasure notes can also be exchanged for real gold and silver, then there will be no problems of indiscriminate distribution and inflation?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were bright!
Since those uncivilized Tartars could do it, then why couldn't this old man, the one emperor in history, do it?
What a joke!
Not only him, Li Shan Chang, Xu Da, Wu Lin, and the others were also filled with confidence.
If the Tartars could do it, it was impossible for their Great Ming not to do it!
Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Fang Yunfei felt that they were going to be disappointed."In theory, yes, but in practice, it's completely impossible!”
"Why?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were shocked!
The Ming Dynasty had always regarded itself as a superior state of the Celestial Empire, and viewed the surrounding countries as uncivilized barbarians.
They didn't expect that there would be something that the Tartars could do, but they couldn't.
Where would they put their faces?
"Actually, the reason is very simple. There are only two reasons-"
"Troops and gold and silver."
Fang Yunfei extended two fingers at the crowd.
"Troops and gold and silver? I, Big Ming, also have this!"
Xu Da said in confusion.
He was familiar with the Tartar army and was often beaten to a pulp by them.
As for gold and silver, although Da Ming didn't have much, he didn't lack either.
"It's different!" Fang Yunfei knocked on the table and said.
"The Tartars that I speak of are not the Northern Yuan tribes that are lingering on the grasslands, but the huge empire that Genghis Khan created in the past!”
"At that time, the Tartars 'territory included the Mengyuan Imperial Court and the Four Khaganates. It was a vast land. Whether it was from east to west or from south to north, it would take more than a year to walk.”
"Through their armies, the Tartar nobles have firmly grasped these conquered lands in their hands.”
"The nobles who rule the area are either descendants of the Golden Family or generals of Genghis Khan, who are related to the Tartar Emperor.”
"No matter how the four Khaganates split up in the future, the Mengyuan Imperial Court will always be their leader. For the sake of the Tartar Emperor, the Mengyuan Caravan could pass through these places unimpeded.”
"Relying on trade and military, Meng Yuan has almost all the gold and silver in the world in its hands.”
"The armies spread all over the four seas ensure that the Tartar merchants are unimpeded wherever they go.”
"The prosperous trade also caused all the gold and silver in the world to gather in the Mengyuan Imperial Court.”
"Only with sufficient gold and silver reserves can the Tartar Emperor have enough confidence to exchange for the paper money in the hands of the common people at any time.”
"The army, trade, gold and silver, and paper money are all linked together. This is the fundamental reason why the Tartar ingots have always been strong.”
"May I ask-"
"Can I, Big Ming, do it?"
