Chapter 898
Zhixing Academy has always been the best in the Ming Dynasty. The students who took the entrance exam got results at the city gate the next day.
"Fifty people, the academy said, and they still need to have an interview. The professor asked you in person. Only when you became a student could you enter the academy. If you failed to be ranked 51, you would be replaced."
A man with a famous son on the list explained proudly, and someone next to him said unconvincedly: "There is no such trouble? Does he really think he is the Imperial College?"
The man was dissatisfied when he heard this and argued: "I said yesterday that the academy still needs to examine the students' desire for learning. Those who are cheating and those who want to cling to the crowd will be turned away."
As he was speaking, a team of people left the city. When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "I finally arrived before the school starts, otherwise I would have to be blamed by Xing and Bo."
Jia Quan, who arrived in Peking in advance, said: "Your Highness, there are fewer people in the academy, and I almost let them know Mr. and Ma Su, and I don't know what it means."
Zhu Zhanji drove out of the city and said thoughtfully: "The academy is a seed, so that's good."
When he arrived at the Fang family, Fang Xing came to see Ping An. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he smiled and said, "It's all turned into a black face, which shows how hard it has been."
Zhu Zhanji looked at the sleeping Ping An and said enviously: "Brother Dehua has a pair of Jia'er, which is enviable."
Fang Xing said proudly: "If we say that we should give birth to a son, we will give birth to a son. Who in the court has this ability?"
Zhu Zhanji handed the gift he brought to Xin Laoqi, and then woke up with Fang to the study.
The bell followed him all the way, and he didn't go in when he arrived at the study, but just lying outside the door.
Since Ping'an grew up, Lingling's attention has shifted to him and she has been protecting him all day long.
"It is inevitable that Jinling's Xunqi is a little disappointed. If this continues, he will definitely be depressed in the future, so I rejected the proton and felt that it would be better for their family to keep it themselves, so there is no need to waste the national treasury."
Zhu Zhanji's expression was a little contemptuous, "Along the way, most people in various places were numb. When they mentioned the Ming Dynasty, they were mostly grateful. The reason I thought of it was nothing more than avoiding war and not starving to death. I think it was sad!"
"The land annexation has begun. I have conducted an investigation. Most of the land that was annexed has been sent to the homes of literati or officials. Among them, the officials who have retired are the most greedy, with more hidden methods, but more fierce!"
Fang Xing waved his hand, and Madam Qin who was waiting outside the door came in and took Ping'an away.
After the people left, Fang Xingcai said: "It is inevitable that Xun Qi is decadent. The so-called separation with the country is actually Xun Qi clinging to the body of the Ming Dynasty and sucking blood wildly. As for the people's numbness, this is very troublesome, so I don't make money and I have published so many textbooks, just to let the people know how to plot life and know a little about the outside world."
"Land annexation is actually nothing great. What I am more worried about is that farmers become slaves to those gentry."
The rise and fall of the entire Ming Dynasty was accompanied by land annexation all the way.
From the gentry to the royal family's fiefdom, the peasants were forced to desperately go step by step.
Even if there is no natural disaster, internal conflicts in the Ming Dynasty will break out sooner or later.
"That was the people of the Ming Dynasty, not the slaves of the gentry! Zhanji, if this is not solved, any innovation is nonsense!"
The free people are the backbone of innovation, and slaves can only be numbly at the mercy of their masters.
Seeing Zhu Zhanji fall into deep thought, Fang Xing said, "As long as the people are free, then land annexation is not a matter."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Yes, now Nuergandusi, Jiaozhi, North Korea, and Japan are all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is less land in the Central Plains, it is not a problem to migrate to those places casually."
Fang Xing stood up and said, "You go to the academy to talk to the students who are interviewing. You should not be anxious about population issues. Your Majesty cannot do it for a while. You can think slowly."
Zhu Zhanji said embarrassingly: "Brother Dehua, I feel wronged."
Fang Xing laughed and scolded: "I don't have that much resentment, get out!"
Ma Su stepped forward and Fang Xing half retreated, and all this was just Fang Xing's compromise.
The purpose is to enable Zhu Zhanji to have greater influence among these students.
...
Zhu Zhanji's arrival naturally made the students very excited, but even so, Xie Jin and Ma Su finally eliminated the two.
The academy was ready, but Fang Xing lived a semi-seclusion life. He just teased his two sons every day, and even tinkered in the study.
Recently, people in the North Korea have been proposing to build an outer city, then immigrate from all over the country to enrich the population of the capital.
But Zhu Di has never made any statement, only Xia Yuanji and these people are swearing each other.
"I'm so angry!"
Xia Yuanji came to Fang's house and started to squirt when they met.
"Those people saw that the Ministry of Revenue earned millions of taels of gold and silver, but they could not see that gold and silver could not be spent randomly, otherwise the disadvantages of the inevitable price increase are really corrupt scholars!"
Fang Xing leisurely fiddled with a jade pendant in his hand and said lightly: "It's either that you can't use it, but money is used for spending, and it can also activate the market. However, the business in the Ming Dynasty is currently sluggish. Otherwise, this little gold and silver are really not a problem. The Ministry of Revenue can issue a lot of more treasure money and will not depreciate."
"You mean... let the treasure money be exchanged for gold and silver?"
Xia Yuanji shook his head, "If this is the case, the first thing those people do is to exchange treasure money for gold and silver at home."
The habit of Chinese people is to collect everything that can make them feel at ease, and then the whole family lives a warm kang.
Fang Xing was about to leave his hands alone, but Xia Yuanji stood up and said, "You have been resting at home for several days. Get up and go to the palace with me to discuss the art of coin in front of His Majesty."
...
Fang Xing was pulled into the palace by Xia Yuanji. When he saw Zhu Di, Xia Yuanji said proudly: "Your Majesty, Xinghe Bo is good at managing finances. I ask Your Majesty to ask him."
Yang Rong smiled bitterly, Yang Shiqi was helpless, Jin Youzi was angry...
These people are all the emperor's aides, and can also be called cabinets. They have low official qualities and can have a superior status.
Are you, Xia Yuanji, thinking that I am not as good as Fang Xing?
When Zhu Di saw Fang Xing's appearance, he knew that Xia Yuanji was looking for help and forced him to bring 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, and some people say they want to put it in the warehouse for the issuance of treasure money. What do you think?"
Fang Xing felt Jin Youzi's anger, but this made him feel very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay to spend it all."
Xia Yuanji was stunned and said, "Sing He Bo, don't talk nonsense, use all the prices of the Ming Dynasty to be chaotic."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Didn't the Ming Dynasty focus on treasure banknotes at present? With this batch of gold and silver, you can naturally issue more treasure banknotes. It's just that there is a question. After it is sent out, where will the money be used?"
"This treasure money will inevitably be used for purchases. Whether it is the people or rich people, there will inevitably be more treasure money in the family."
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Scarce things are precious, and then the prices are naturally rising. People are naturally striving to make a living. Luxury families will not care. So there is a question, what benefits did the court get in this process?"
Jin Youzi frowned and said, "The court will definitely use this treasure banknote to exchange for a large amount of food and other goods. The warehouse is solid and can calmly deal with the disaster year."
Baochao is just a blank paper. The process of exchange for a large number of supplies is to make money by making money. Then the prices will inevitably rise, and the people will suffer losses.
Zhu Di also likes to use treasure money for rewards, which is worth it without any expense.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "It's not bad, it's just a pain for the people."
Jin Youzi said coldly: "What should Na Xing and Bo think?"
The Ming Dynasty has always been very unconventional when distributing treasure money, and it almost turned into waste paper several times.
Fang Xing beat him up and narrowed his eyes and said, "I think he should try out treasure money in Yingzhou, Jiaozhi, and North Korea, and exchange it for silver!"
boom!
