The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

"It's 7.9 million catties?"

Emperor Hongzhi still felt incredible.

This number is a bit scary.

How much effort is this.

"Your Majesty, slave-maid, listened at that time, it was this number ..." The **** apparently did not understand this number too deeply.

But for Emperor Hongzhi, this number is too scary.

A province in Huguang is only 9 million catties. Since Emperor Taizuo, this number has always been the same and has not changed.

The court's demand for ironware was more and more, and less and less.

As far as the current output is concerned, it can indeed be maintained.

But who does n’t want to be more good?

This pig iron is the most important material of the country.

Sometimes, if the output of copper is insufficient, it is even necessary to use iron to make iron money.

This is precisely because iron itself has its value. It can be used to forge weapons, can be a variety of agricultural tools, and can be used as cooking utensils. This is almost a widely used thing among the subjects.

However, because the output of pig iron is not high, the court often had some concerns about the production of iron, more or less, and the savings should be saved.

The people are even more different. If a pot is broken, they do n’t think about replacing it with new ones. They often repair and repair. One farm tool is broken, and it is obviously full of holes.

In this blacksmith shop all over the world, their biggest business is not repair, but repair.

In the army, Daming widely used firearms, such as artillery, but an artillery, the amount of iron required was thousands of kilograms. Therefore, the court has always been cautious about the casting of artillery.

And because of the need to save iron, iron cannon shells are often not used in artillery. What is used? Many artillery are directly stuffed with stones, or some iron filings and gravel.

This makes it impossible to increase the range and accuracy of the crushed stones and iron filings that cannot fit perfectly with the barrel.

But now ... In that remote Hexi, so much pig iron was sent in a short time.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Some of the cast iron, someone saw it shipped?"

"Yes, there are a lot of carts and horses. There are many warehouses and warehouses in the warehouse. There are many people recruited at the warehouses, which is not fair."

"And ... and ..."

Emperor Hongzhi said sharply, "And what."

The **** said: "Moreover, it is said that there will be a convoy in the back, which is being transported ... Hexi, the iron production is staggering, and the four-wheeled carriage is widely purchased by merchants. When they heard that the price of iron had an upward trend, action It was extremely quick, and recruited people immediately. Three months ago, he set off without stopping. The slave-servant thought ... the slave-servant thought, these 7.9 million catties ... not only. "

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

He could see the power of these merchants.

This is a group of lunatics.

In an instant, countless words came up.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look back, glancing at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing took a step back without closing his mouth.

What is this doing? This is ...

Who provokes someone?

Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi diligently, in fact, he was a person without shame.

If a man became an eunuch, if he is ashamed, how can he survive?

So in Xiao Jing's heart, only fear.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "I am really dumb ..."

"No, no, your majesty, you are not dull, you are holy." Xiao Jing replied subconsciously.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I'm not stupid, why would you ask you how good or bad the country is?"

"..."

This is a bit confusing.

This is an insult.

Xiao Jingmu's face fell, but he fell down: "All slaves die forever, all these are dull slaves, the brain does not understand, there is nothing to do with your majesty, his majesty is very ..."

"Enough!" Emperor Hongzhi thought, how could Fang Jifan speak so nicely, but this was said in Xiao Jing's mouth, also referring to Sheng Ming, but there was always a bit of irony.

Is this irony?

Xiao Jing was terrified.

"What are you talking about?" Emperor Hongzhi said sharply.

"This ... this ..." Xiao Jing almost blurted out, then His Majesty was dull.

Fortunately, he is an old clever ghost.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still doing with a stun, go get the book."

"Book, what book?" Xiao Jing was confused.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Wealth of Nations!"

Where did Xiao Jing dare to neglect, obediently took the book.

Emperor Hongzhi was impressed with all this.

It was precisely because of the impression that what the **** Fang Cai said in a single breath made him soberly aware that the eunuch's process was actually consistent with certain principles in the theory of national wealth.

He lowered his head and quickly opened some familiar chapters. Looking down, the invisible hand ... Isn't this invisible hand all the world's bustling, all the world's bustling!

Of course, there is no such simple ... and ... supply exceeds demand, the relationship between production and supply and demand, and ...

Read it again at this time, and read it in the past, it is actually two realms.

The former is confusing, and I think it ’s overdone. Now, when I read it, it looks like what happened in reality.

He was sometimes silent, frowning, and chanting in a low voice.

For a long time, Emperor Hongzhi was initiating and murmured: "I understand that its fundamental lies in the supply and demand of the market ... The terrible thing of the merchants is that they hoard goods for profit; but their greatest benefit is It ’s because they are driven by their interests that they produce amazing action. "

Think about the guardian eunuchs around the world, and the iron ore mines of the local government, the geometry of the pig iron produced, and the time they spent transporting along the route, and the geometry; even ... the quality of the pig iron they produced ... and the output ... not to mention Say, the loss is ...

Emperor Hongzhi seems to be beginning to see some clues, but there are too many things in his mind ... unexplainable.

Suddenly, he suddenly said: "Call Liu Wenshan!"

"This person, Liu Wenshan, is my ovary!"

The ovary is Zhang Liang, the third master of the Han Dynasty.

People of later generations all think that this person has scheming and strategy and is a strategist.

Isn't Liu Wenshan, just this rich country theory, a way of making a country rich and strong?

In the Han Dynasty, pig iron, war horses, and food were the most important strategic resources. This alone was enough to make Emperor Hongzhi obsessed.

The emperor Hongzhi carried his hands on his back, pacing back and forth, inexplicably excited.

The theory of national wealth is a blueprint.

This blueprint includes both the analysis of merchants, the analysis of the market, and the new views of the monarch on taxation and state governance.

If Liu Wenshan is right on this point, what about other places?

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes: "There's that dregs ..."

"No ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ No, Zhao Wang Bu Shi, whoever will mention me to the world in the future, I will not spare him."

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, did you even change the name of the scumbag king who is not a human being?"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

This seems to be tricky.

The tricky part is that this is not something you can change.

This scumbag king Bu Shi, but completed a great feat, a broken ship, arrived in the extreme west, and also returned to sail, since then, opened a new chapter of the Hongzhi Dynasty to the west.

This ship is destined to be recorded in the annals of history. Even if the name of the ship is changed, do I have to tamper with history specifically for Wang Bushi?

Daming has so many emperors, in the Ming Records, there are still some subtle and indecent marks. This has not reworked the Records. As a Wang Bushi, he has changed the history book completely. Does anyone recognize it?

Moreover, it is said that those who went to the sea afterwards regarded this human dregs king as a spiritual totem. What a dangerous thing in this sea, countless soldiers left their hometowns and entered an unknown future. Uneasy, people have no sustenance in their minds, so they took the human dross of the world to return to the ship for several times as a mascot.

If you change your name rashly ...

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Do not change!"

"Go and invite people."

"The slave-servant obeyed the purpose."

"Come back!" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing busy turned around and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You talk too much."

Xiao Jing: "..."
