Chapter 809: The Great Wise Monarch: Jinshan And Yinshan Of Japan? Want To! [Please Subscribe, Pleas
It is conservatively estimated that the Japanese country can mine five million taels of silver and one hundred thousand taels of gold a year, and can continue to mine for two or three hundred years?!!
If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the Japanese country has as little as one billion taels of silver and twenty million taels of gold, and as many as 1.5 billion taels of silver and thirty million taels of gold?!
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, which is equal to ten coins.
In other words, the gold and silver of the Japanese country is worth at least 1.2 billion guan of gold and as much as 1.8 billion guan of gold!!!
After quickly calculating the value of Japanese gold and silver in his mind, Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately changed his left eye to look like gold and his right eye to look like silver.
1.2 billion to 1.8 billion dollars!!!
You must know that last year, Ming Dynasty continued to sell briquettes, salted fish meat, sea salt, cement, cheese, wool, collect business taxes, collect land and acres taxes, engage in state-owned enterprise transactions, engage in private commercial large-scale logistics, etc.
In the end, the imperial court's total annual fiscal revenue barely reached more than 98 million guan, which barely reached 100 million guan.
As for the gold and silver worth of the Japanese country from 1.2 billion to 1.8 billion guan, that is equivalent to the current total fiscal revenue from the 12th to the 18th year of the Ming Dynasty!
If all the gold and silver in the Japanese country could be mined, then the Ming Dynasty would no longer be short of gold and silver for hundreds of years.
At the same time, with the additional gold and silver revenue from this 1.2 billion to 1.8 billion guan, the Ming Dynasty can now completely abolish forced corvee [and then comprehensively promote the use of work as a substitute for craftsmen].
For Ru Taisu now, his biggest hope for the rest of his life is to completely abolish the forced corvee system and completely change it to work-for-service before he dies, or before he steps down as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so that people can Because of this eternal benevolence, he will leave his name in history.
So thinking of this, Ru Taisu couldn't help but ask:
"Does Boyi really mean what he said?!"
"Does Japan really have more than ten to two billion gold and silver?!!"
Yan Changqing nodded and said firmly:
"If Master Ru doesn't believe it, I can ask the Shennong family and the Ban Heng family to vouch for me!"
As soon as these words came out, a very few people saw or guessed that Boyi was the minister and Duke of Yan Changqing, and they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths slightly.
What is the difference between asking Shennong and Qibo to be guarantees and Yan Changqing guaranteeing himself?!!
However, for the vast majority of other civil servants, military generals, and noble Marquis 633 who did not know the true identity of Boyi, after hearing that Boyi could invite the Shennong family and Qibo family to be his guarantee, everyone immediately Got excited.
We must know that after these years of development, the prestige of the Shennong family and the Banheng family in the hearts of all people in the world (even among the ten court officials, military officers, noble marquises) can be said to be getting higher and higher.
After all, one is the agricultural sage who makes the people all over the world have enough to eat, and the other is the science sage who makes the people all over the world eat meat and wear warm clothes.
The credibility of what they said is, to a certain extent, the same as the credibility of what the emperor said!
Even when it comes to matters such as agriculture and science and technology, the credibility of their words is higher than that of the emperor!
Therefore, under such circumstances, the Boyi family can invite the Shennong family and the Qibo family to be his guarantee, which is equivalent to saying that the Japanese country has more than ten to two billion gold and silver, which is a certainty and true. Yes.
And there are more than ten to two billion gold and silver waiting for them to collect. With such a thing in front of them, who can not be excited and excited.
"Why didn't you say something so important before?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he looked at Yan Changqing, who was wearing Boyi's identity vest, and asked in shock.
Zhu Yuanzhang would not doubt what Yan Changqing said.
Over the years, Yan Changqing has proven one fact after another that everything he says is true.
Therefore, Yan Changqing said that the Japanese country has more than ten to two billion gold and silver, so it must have eighteen to two billion gold and silver!
However, what shocked Zhu Yuanzhang was why Yan Changqing didn't mention such an important thing before?!
If he knew that the Japanese country had more than ten to two billion gold and silver, he would have sent troops to attack the Japanese country and dig out the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese country.
With those ten to two billion in gold and silver, he would be able to fill the national treasury.
Then all kinds of light corvee and low taxes, water conservancy development, major national infrastructure, people's livelihood and welfare, etc. can all be arranged.
To sum up, with these tens to two billion in gold and silver income, he has the confidence to skip the thirty to fifty years of accumulation of governance and directly reach the prosperous age since the founding of the country!
Yan Changqing looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and knew what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
Yan Changqing never mentioned the fact that Japan was rich in gold and silver to Zhu Yuanzhang and the others. It was not that he had forgotten it, but that compared to before, there was not much need to mention it.
Because no matter how much gold and silver there is, it still cannot be used as food.
To give the simplest example, food can always be exchanged for gold and silver, but gold and silver may not always be exchanged for food.
Just like during the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, if you had gold or silver, you would be able to buy food from others.
Therefore, before the production of daily necessities related to various clothing, food, housing and transportation in the Ming Dynasty was increased, even if troops were sent to attack the Japanese country, and a large amount of gold and silver were excavated and mined from the Japanese country, they were transported back to the Ming Dynasty.
For Ming Dynasty, it was only temporarily beneficial.
Over time, a large amount of gold and silver circulated in the Ming Dynasty, but it was difficult to purchase items of corresponding value.
Eventually, these gold and silver will slowly become like the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes, and begin to depreciate in disguise.
Once gold and silver depreciate by then, the impact and consequences will be much more serious than those caused by the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes!
At least if the Ming Dynasty Tongxing Baobao depreciates, it will only affect the Ming Dynasty Tongxu Baobao issued by the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and will not have a big impact on other precious metal currencies, such as gold and silver.
Moreover, it can also be used to underpin the value of Ming Dynasty currency notes by binding precious metal items such as gold and silver from ancient times.
But if gold and silver also depreciate, then it is absolutely impossible to underpin the value of gold and silver by binding the Ming Dynasty's banknotes.
Moreover, once gold and silver depreciate, not only the gold and silver mined, excavated, and transported back to the Ming Dynasty from Japan will depreciate.
Likewise, the gold and silver that have existed in China since ancient times will also experience a huge depreciation!
Even Yan Changqing may not be able to deal with or resolve the gold and silver economic crisis caused by that time.
Even if Yan Changqing can clean up and solve the economic crisis caused by the massive depreciation of gold and silver, Ming Dynasty will definitely be greatly turbulent because of this, and eventually its vitality will be seriously damaged.
At that time, it will be basically impossible to complete the establishment of overseas countries and immigration to other continents in the generation of princes such as Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, and Zhu Di.
In addition, at that time, Ming Dynasty was busy with the Northern Expedition. How could there be more time, energy, and logistics to support Ming Dynasty in continuing its expedition to Japan.
If we continue to forcefully conquer Japan, we will fight on two fronts, which will more or less mean militarism.
Therefore, based on the above circumstances, Yan Changqing did not tell anyone about the large amount of gold and silver in Japan.
And when I say it now, it's because the situation is different again.
Today's Ming Dynasty has not continued the Northern Expedition in the past two years, so even if it starts the Eastern Expedition to Japan, it will only be a single-line operation for the Ming Dynasty.
Such pressure was acceptable to the Ming Dynasty court and the people of Ming Dynasty (bhaj).
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has been vigorously developing economic construction in the past few years, and the domestic vitality has also recovered a lot [at least there is no problem in supporting the logistics of the Ming Navy's expedition to Japan.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet has also developed further in recent years.
Counting the naval fleet of the original Haizhou City and the naval fleets built by various princes and princes in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty now has a total of six major naval fleets.
These six naval fleets formed the Ming Dynasty's most solid and reliable coastal defense line!
Under the patrol protection of these six naval fleets, no pirates or Japanese pirates have been able to approach the coast of the Ming Dynasty in recent years.
Basically, as long as they are discovered by the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet, those pirates and Japanese pirates will be driven into the vast sea by the Ming Dynasty Navy fleet with its absolute superior strength.
If the six large naval fleets attack the Japanese country now, they will naturally have more advantages than when there was only one large naval fleet attacking the Japanese country before.
Apart from anything else, the six naval fleets can basically completely encircle and blockade the Japanese islands, so that no Japanese ships can go to sea!
In addition, the future princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other vassal princes wanted to found the country and immigrate to other overseas continents.
In other words, in the future, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other vassal princes will definitely conflict with countries on other overseas continents.
By then, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other vassal princes will be isolated and helpless overseas. It is unknown what will happen and what they will encounter, and it is difficult to predict everything.
After all, there has never been such a precedent in ancient times, such as establishing a country and immigrating to other overseas continents.
Therefore, in order to avoid excessive losses due to some unexpected circumstances when Jianguo immigrated to other continents.
Before that, it's better to practice with the Japanese country closest to the Ming Dynasty.
After all, Japan is also an island country. By conquering it, you can gain more or less experience in conquering island countries on overseas continents.
This will also be beneficial to the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes who will establish their country and immigrate to other overseas continents in the future.
And finally, all the civil and military officials in the court just now had some objections to his identity as Boyi and the canonization of the saint.
Therefore, based on many of the above reasons, Yan Changqing revealed that there was a large amount of gold and silver in the Japanese country.
However, the doubts in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart were still answered. After thinking about it, Yan Changqing briefly answered:
"The Shang Saint Fan Bai should have told His Majesty about the "Origin and Essence of Money" and the principles of inflation and deflation."
Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, and then quickly learned from Yan Changqing's prompts that Yan Changqing had never mentioned to him the reason why Yi State was rich in gold and silver.
After all, sometimes gold and silver are not really omnipotent.
Speaking of this, Yan Changqing glanced at Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and then said:
"In addition, although the Japanese country lives overseas, it is still relatively close to the Ming Dynasty after all, and it is suitable for practicing."
At this moment, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes on the steps of the Dan Palace also understood the meaning of Yan Changqing's words.
After thinking about it carefully, all the princes and princes also nodded in agreement. The Japanese country is indeed a more suitable country.
Let them be used by the feudal princes as training objects.
If they can successfully conquer Japan, then they will be more confident in conquering other overseas continents in the future.
Although all the civil and military officials and noble marquises did not know what riddle Boyi was playing with the emperor and the princes, they could tell that both the emperor and the princes were
He was tempted by the Japanese country's more than 10 to 2 billion gold and silver.
But yes, more than ten to two billion gold and silver were actually owned by the Japanese country. Isn’t this a three-year-old child holding gold to get through the bustling city!
Who can tolerate this? Who can bear it?
Anyway, all the emperors and ministers of Ming Dynasty couldn’t bear it!!!
At that moment, a group of civil servants and military generals jumped out one after another to call for battle:
"Your Majesty, in the past, we and the Ming Dynasty sent envoys to the Japanese country of Dongyi. As a result, the Japanese country not only refused to come to court, but also killed my Ming envoys, detained my Ming envoys, and robbed my Ming subjects.
Common people, do not respect my great national authority tomorrow. "
"His crime deserves to be punished, please lead an army to attack him!"
"Previously, the Ming Dynasty had gone through wars and had not yet recovered its vitality. At the same time, it also wanted to conduct the Northern Expedition, so it had no time to take care of the Japanese country and let it show its temporary power."
"Now that our Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and ships, just to avenge our past humiliation, I ask your majesty to lead troops to attack the Japanese country. I will definitely capture them alive and bring them to your majesty!"
"A mere little king of a Japanese country dares to call himself the emperor. This is simply treason. I ask you to lead an army to destroy his country, his sect, and his temples!"
At this moment, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty's civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises, the Japanese country seemed to have a life-or-death feud with them.
Everyone wanted to personally lead the army to defeat the Japanese country, and then dig out the more than 10 to 2 billion gold and silver from the Japanese country back to the Ming Dynasty.
