"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.”
"Can I, Big Ming, do it?"
Fang Yunfei looked at everyone and asked.
To put it bluntly, Meng Yuan's exchange of gold ingots was the same as that of the Great Beauty Country's system in the future. They both relied on powerful military forces and massive wealth to ensure the stability of their currency.
Both were indispensable!
"This…"
"It seems that I, Big Ming, can't do it."
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said reluctantly.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was proud, he had to admit that the current Ming Dynasty was still not comparable to the huge empire created by Genghis Khan.
The Great Ming Dynasty now had two more territories than the Northern Song Dynasty, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Hetao.
Originally, the two protectorates of the Western Regions and Beiting during the Han and Tang Dynasties were still in the hands of the Tartars of the Northern Yuan.
Just from the size alone, it could not be compared to the Mengyuan Empire that included East Asia, North Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, and Eastern Europe.
Moreover, when the Tartar Emperor fled back to the grasslands, he took away all the gold, silver, and jewelry that the Mengyuan court had accumulated over the years, resulting in a shortage of precious metals since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang even had the thought of melting the Buddha statue to cast copper coins several times.
Therefore, he really couldn't learn from the methods of the Mengyuan court to control the currency over-issue and curb the rise in currency.
"Then does my Big Ming have no way to solve the problem of inflation?”
Crown Prince Zhu Biao said with a frown.
The people around them all had bitter expressions on their faces.
One of the great advantages of the current monarch and minister of the Ming Dynasty compared to the late Ming Dynasty was that they were realistic.
If he could, he could. If he couldn't, he couldn't.
He would definitely not pretend to be fat.
"Actually-"
"It's not like there's no way."
Fang Yunfei glanced at everyone from the corner of his eye and said slowly.
"Really? Kid Fang, hurry up and tell me!”
"Benefactor, please speak. I'm all ears.”
"I hope Young Master Fang will not be stingy with telling me."
“……”
Hearing that Fang Yun Fei had a brilliant plan to solve this problem, everyone was surprised and delighted!
He really didn't expect this kid to be so terrifying.
He actually had so many wonderful ideas at such a young age.
Any random plan could stabilize the country.
She's simply a lucky star sent by the heavens to me, Da Ming!
"No, no, no! The sky is already dark. I'm currently in the middle of growing up, so I need to maintain sufficient sleep. Come back tomorrow."
Fang Yunfei looked at the dark sky outside and flatly refused.
"It doesn't matter if it's dark. We can talk at night by candlelight!”
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll sleep after we're done talking."
"I'll die if I hear the Dao in the morning! Young Master Fang, if you don't tell me the method, I won't be able to sleep!”
"This reminds me of my early years in school. Fuck you! I'm burning!"
“……”
Hearing Fang Yunfei's words, there was a wail from below.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others used both hard and soft tactics, hoping that Fang Yunfei could tell them the method.
But Fang Yunfei ignored him.
What does it have to do with me whether you can sleep or not?
Moreover, you saved a few rough old men and you want to sleep on the same bed as me?
Dream on.
My bed can only be reserved for the fragrant little sister.
Slightly…
No matter how hard everyone tried to coax him, Fang Yun Fei was unmoved.
Helpless, everyone could only return to Jinling in disappointment.
Fortunately, Fang Yunfei saw that Old Zhu was about to explode from anger, so he gave him a few lollipops that the system had drawn and asked him to go back and coax his grandson.
Before he left, Fang Yunfei specially emphasized that these few rainbow lollipops were rare in the world. Even he only had these few left.
Hearing Fang Yunfei's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned gloomy. He cupped his hands and left.
……
"Bastard! He's simply a bastard!"
After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chamberlain to send the rainbow lollipop to Zhu Yunwen. Then, he immediately retrieved the part of the Jinyiwei secret report about the market price.
After calculating, he was surprised to find that a Great Ming Treasure Note could only be exchanged for 900 copper coins.
It was 10% less than the usual price set by the government!
How long has it been since the Great Ming Treasure Notes were issued?
It was actually a 10% discount.
If time passed, wouldn't he really become a piece of waste paper like what Fang brat said?
At that time, not only would the people be in dire straits, but the people everywhere would also rebel.
This is a major event that concerns the eternal stability of my Great Ming Dynasty!
However, Fang Yunfei, that cunning kid, obviously had a solution, but he had to wait until tomorrow to say it.
This was simply a cliffhanger!
Annoying!
It was simply too infuriating!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang usually laughed and laughed in front of Fang Yunfei, his temper could be said to be very bad.
In their fury, both the eunuchs and the palace maids knelt on the ground and trembled.
He was afraid that His Majesty would vent his anger on him.
"Chongba, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry?"
At this moment, Lady Ma appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
After learning that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a rage in his bedroom, Lady Ma was worried and immediately rushed over to take a look.
"It's all because of that brat Fang Yun Fei!”
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
"Are you talking about Fang brat? What did he do to you?"
Lady Ma asked curiously.
She had also gone to Fang Yun Fei's place to eat a few times.
Other than his amazing cooking skills, this kid was also very humorous. Even a serious person like Chong Ba 'er was often amused.
Whether it was himself or Chongba, they both treated Fang Yuan as their junior.
If it wasn't for her poor health, she would probably have to go to Fang brat's small courtyard a few more times.
How did this Fang brat make Chongba so angry today?
Sister Xiuying, it's like this..."
Zhu Yuanzhang recounted what happened during the day.
"Tell me, what did our old man do wrong to him? He clearly had the knowledge of pacifying the people and helping the world, but instead of serving the court, he wanted to run to Nanyang every day. What is this!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said resentfully.
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's complaints, Lady Ma smiled.""Chongba, I heard that the more capable a person is, the weirder their temper is.”
"Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times in order to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain. What's the big deal if you just endure it a little longer?”
"Besides, Fang is only a sixteen-year-old kid.”
"Can an old man like you take the words of a child seriously?”
"Wouldn't we be a joke if word got out?”
Lady Ma said.
"Alright! For the sake of you, our Old Zhu won't lower himself to the same level as this kid!”
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't angry with Fang Yunfei to begin with, he just couldn't keep his face.
Now that he had Lady Ma, he could just go down the slope.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind. He would go to Little Fang's place tomorrow morning and see what he was up to!
