The efficiency of Zhixing academy has always been the highest in the Ming Dynasty. The students who took the entrance examination got the results at the gate of the city the next day.
"Fifty people, the Academy said, have to have an interview. That is, the professor asks you face to face. Only when you become a can you enter the Academy. If you don't become the 51st, you will be filled one by one."
A man named on his son's list explained proudly. Someone nearby said unconvinced, "there's no such trouble. Does he know that Xingyuan academy really thinks he's the Imperial College?"
The man was not happy when he heard this. He argued: "it was said yesterday that the academy also had to investigate the students' desire to learn. Those who cheat, play tricks and want to cling to would be rejected."
Just then, a team of people came out of the city. When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "finally, he arrived before the school starts. Otherwise, he would have to be blamed by xinghebo."
Jia Quan, who first came to Peiping, said, "Your Highness, there are fewer Xinghe and Bo managers in the Academy at present. They almost let go to understand Mr. Ma Su and don't know what it means."
Zhu Zhanji beat his horse out of the city and said thoughtfully, "the academy is a seed, so it's good."
When he arrived at Fang's house, Fang Xing came to see him with peace in his arms. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he smiled and said, "they have become black faces. It can be seen that it's hard all the way."
Looking at the sleeping peace, Zhu Zhanji said with envy: "brother Dehua has a pair of girls, which makes people envy."
Fang woke up and said proudly, "we say we have a son when we have a son. Who has this ability in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?"
Zhu Zhanji gave Xin Laoqi the gift he brought, and then woke up with Fang to the study.
Ling Dang followed her all the way. When she got to the study, she didn't go in, but lay outside the door.
Since Ping An grew up, Ling Dang's attention turned to him and protected him all day.
"It's inevitable that the Xun Qi in Jinling will be lost. If he goes on like this, he will certainly be depressed in the future. Therefore, the younger brother refused the proton and felt that it would be better to let their family support themselves without wasting the national treasury."
Zhu Zhanji's expression was somewhat contemptuous. "Most of the people everywhere were numb all the way. Most of the mention of Daming was grateful. The reason is that my younger brother thought of it. It's just that he avoided war and didn't starve to death. It's sad!"
"The annexation of land has begun. My younger brother has made an investigation. Most of the land annexed has gone to the homes of scholars or officials. Among them, officials are the most greedy, with more hidden means, but more ferocious!"
Fang woke up and waved. Mother Qin, waiting outside the door, came in and took Ping'an away.
After they left, Fang xingcai said, "it's inevitable that Xun Qi is decadent. The so-called rest with the country is actually that Xun Qi climbs and attaches to Daming's body and sucks blood crazily. As for the numbness of the people, it's very troublesome, so I don't make money. I published so many textbooks to let the people know how to calculate life and know some of the outside world."
"Land annexation is actually nothing. What I'm more worried about is that farmers become slaves to those tyrants."
The rise and fall of the whole Ming Dynasty was accompanied by land annexation.
From the tyrants and gentry to the royal family's fiefdoms, the peasants were forced into a desperate situation step by step.
Even if there is no natural disaster, the internal contradictions of Daming will break out sooner or later.
"That's the people of Daming, not the slaves of the tyrants! Zhan Ji, if this point is not solved, any innovation is nonsense!"
Free people are the backbone of innovation, and slaves can only be numbly at the mercy of their masters.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji lost in thought, Fang Xing said, "as long as the people are free, land annexation is not a thing."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "yes, now nuergandasi, Jiaozhi, Korea and Japan are in the hands of Daming. Even if there is less land in the Central Plains, it is not a problem to move to those places."
Fang woke up and said, "go to the academy and lecture the students interviewed. The population problem can't be urgent. Your majesty can't start for a while. You can think slowly."
Zhu Zhanji said timidly, "brother Dehua, I've wronged you."
Fang Xing smiled and scolded, "I don't have so many grievances. Go away!"
Masu came out and Fang Xing half retired, and all this was just Fang Xing's compromise.
The purpose is to enable Zhu Zhanji to have greater influence among these students.
……
The arrival of Zhu Zhanji naturally excited the students, but even so, Xie Jin and Ma Su brushed them off at last.
The Academy was ready, but Fang woke up and lived a semi reclusive life. He only teased his two sons every day and agitated in his study.
Recently, it has been proposed to build outer cities and then emigrate from all over the country to enrich the population of the capital.
But Zhu Di has never said anything. Only Xia Yuanji and these people are spraying.
"I'm so angry!"
Xia Yuanji came to Fang's house and burst out angrily as soon as he met.
"Those people saw that the household department had received millions of taels of gold and silver, but they could not see that gold and silver could not be spent indiscriminately, otherwise prices would inevitably rise. What a corrupt scholar!"
Fang Xing leisurely played with a piece of jade pendant in his hand and said faintly: "it's not useless. Money is used to spend money. It can also activate the market. But Daming's business is depressed at present. Otherwise, this kind of money is really not a thing. The Ministry of household can issue many treasure bills and will not depreciate."
"You mean... Let the treasure money be exchanged for gold and silver?"
Xia Yuanji shook his head. "If you open this end, the first thing for the people is to exchange the treasure notes for gold and silver and collect them at home."
The habit of Chinese people is to collect all materials that can make them feel at ease, and then their families live a hot Kang life.
Fang Xing was about to let go, but Xia Yuanji got up and said, "you have rested at home for several days, get up, go into the palace with my official, and talk about the art of coins in front of your majesty."
……
Fang Xing was dragged all the way into the palace by Xia Yuanji. When he saw Zhu Di, Xia Yuanji said proudly, "Your Majesty, xinghebo is good at financial management. Please ask your majesty."
Yang Rong smiles bitterly, Yang Shiqi is helpless, and Jin Youzi is angry
These people belong to the emperor's aides, also known as the cabinet. They are not high-grade officials and can be detached.
Do you Xia Yuanji think it's better for us to wake up?
Seeing Fang Xing's appearance, Zhu Di knew that Xia Yuanji was looking for help and forcibly brought Fang Xing's ally.
"Fang Xing, there are millions of taels of gold and silver. Some people say they want to build an outer city. Others say they want to put it in the warehouse for the distribution of treasure money. What do you think?"
Fang Xing felt Jin Youzi's anger, but it made him feel very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, I think it's OK to spend all of it."
Xia Yuanji was stunned and said, "Xinghe Bo, don't talk nonsense. It's all used Daming's prices. It must be chaotic."
Fang Xing said with a smile, "isn't Daming mainly focused on treasure bills at present? With this batch of gold and silver, you can naturally issue more treasure bills. There's just a problem. Where will the money be used after it is issued?"
"This treasure money is bound to be used for purchase. Whether people or rich people, there will be more treasure money at home."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "rare things are expensive, and then naturally prices rise. People naturally work hard to make a living. Luxury homes don't care. Then there's a question. What benefits did Chaozhong get in this process?"
Jin Youzi frowned and said, "the DPRK and China will certainly exchange this treasure money for a large number of food and other things. Cang is real and can calmly deal with the disaster year."
Treasure money is white paper. The process of exchanging a large number of materials is to cover the white wolf with empty hands, and then prices must rise, and it is the people who suffer.
Zhu Di also likes to use treasure money as a reward.
Fang woke up and said, "it's good, but it's hard for the people."
Jin Youzi said coldly, "what does Xinghe Bo think?"
Daming has always been very unscrupulous in issuing treasure notes, which almost became waste paper several times.
Fang Xing made a ha ha and narrowed his eyes and said, "I think we should try treasure notes in Yingzhou, Jiaozhi and North Korea and exchange them for silver!"
Boom!
Fang Xing's words were like thunder, which stunned the people present.
