The meaning of Yang Zhengcheng is very obvious, I just want to say that Su Yi is very powerful.
Of course He Jun heard it, but I didn't understand why Su Yi was so powerful. I didn't realize how powerful it was for a while, and the way I looked at Su Yi changed.
Su Yi did not rise up because of the praise of Yang Zhengcheng.
Becoming a disciple to him is not that simple. It mainly depends on his mood. Anyway, he is not in the mood to accept an old man as his disciple. Back then, Kong Zhongni and Su Yi also had the idea of becoming a disciple after discussing scriptures and Daoism, but Su Yi also ruthlessly rejected him.
Su Yi just nodded and smiled at He Jun, put down the ancient books in his hands, and said to Yang Zhengcheng, "I have no interest in these books, so I don't want them anymore. You can take them back."
Ancient book?
Have you seen too little Su Yi before?
Others may have seen less of it, but in Su Yi's opinion, it is not as interesting as quantum mechanics.
He Jun glanced at the books on the table and said in surprise, "Old Yang, are you willing to give away these books? Why don't you give me a few? Is it because our friendship is not good enough?"
Hearing that He Jun wanted it, Yang Zhengcheng immediately changed his face and said, "If you want to see it, just tell me, and I'll pay it back after you see it."
This is probably a difference in treatment.
He Jun twitched his lips, and finally couldn't help but ask Su Yi: "Su Yi, right? I wonder what you think of the demise of the Ming Dynasty?"
Su Yi was silent for a moment. He was still very impressed by the Ming Dynasty king.
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di When the Mongolian tribes returned to the court during the Second Northern Expedition, what they said to their ministers in Beijing was: Our dynasty has great national power, surpassing the ancients. It controlled the Western barbarians from the north to the west and conquered the south island. There was no fraternity of the Han Dynasty, no alliance of the Tang Dynasty, no thin coins of the Song Dynasty, and no courtesy of brothers and enemies.
This is also said by later generations. During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no marriage, no tribute, no cession of land. The emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country.
It sounds very powerful and courageous.
But Su Yi knew that there were big financial problems during the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang came from a rebellious background, so naturally he was afraid that others would follow suit and rebelled, so he seriously lacked a sense of security, so he instituted a system of enfeoffed feudal lords to protect his family and the world with the pro-vassal system.
The weirdest thing Zhu Yuanzhang did was that he had never read any books, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's system almost completely inherited the system of the Yuan Dynasty. The Mongols were not good at finance. After issuing banknotes, they did not make copper coins and banned the use of previous generations of copper coins. It was a complete plunder by a white wolf with empty hands.
When it came to Zhu Yuanzhang, his appearance became even more ugly. When issuing banknotes, they tried their best to print banknotes, but also stipulated that only 30% of the money could be used when paying taxes, and the rest could only be used in kind or gold and silver. This was almost printing without recycling. Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead yet, and the Ming Dynasty's banknotes became waste paper.
Unfortunately, he did not make copper coins yet. At that time, people spontaneously used silver for transactions.
The royal family was forced to accept silver transactions, lost its right to mint coins, and had almost zero ability to intervene in the private sector's economy. How could this still be possible?
There was also a big problem with taxation in the Ming Dynasty.
Su Yi really just smiled when he saw it. An uneducated king really cannot govern a country well.
"The most important thing is that there is a financial problem."
Su Yi simply answered He Jun, he didn't care what He Jun thought of him, it didn't matter.
"Finance?" He Jun frowned. Most of those who do historical research believe that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was mainly due to official corruption, eunuch dictatorship, invincible troops, and Chongzhen Emperor personal reasons. I really haven't thought about finance.
In fact, the finance mentioned by Su Yi is the most fundamental reason. If there is a problem with the national finance, the following problems will follow. The country has no money to pay salaries to officials, and no money to pay salaries to feudal kings. Officials and feudal kings can only covet and rob the people. How can the country not be destroyed in this way?
Su Yi didn't say anything more, but said to Yang Zhengcheng, "I'm going down first."
Yang Zhengcheng was also stunned. He just said there is a financial problem?
What kind of answer is this?
However, looking at He Jun's expression, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Those who engage in historical research have seen more events recorded in written texts, but this simple sentence of Su Yi really awakened the dreamer.
There is a problem with the economy!
This is the biggest problem!
Su Yi has basically been a bystander in the entire history. The demise of one dynasty will inevitably lead to the rise of another. After so many years, he has to admit that this era is the best era.
Ye Xiaxuan was working hard downstairs to memorize Bian Que's two volumes of medical scriptures, when he suddenly received a message.
The man who sold Hidden Dragon Pearl the day before yesterday died!
Died suddenly in the hotel!
This news shocked her. Although she had been prepared for it for a long time, Su Yi's words came true. She said that the person was going to die, and that person died suddenly, which was a bit scary.
It seems that there is something really wrong with that Hidden Dragon Pearl.
After Su Yi went downstairs, he looked at Ye Xiaxuan who was distracted and asked, "How many times have you copied it?"
Ye Xiaxuan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That tomb robber is really dead."
"Hmm." Su Yi looked calm. Is this strange?
Ye Xiaxuan said, "I... I want to go see Longevity Workshop."
"Just go." Su Yi doesn't want to save people, but he won't stop Ye Xiaxuan. There is nothing wrong with doctors being kind.
Ye Xiaxuan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Then I will go. There will be more than a hundred times. I will write again when I come back."
"Well! Don't forget Old Lin's illness." Su Yi said calmly, "If you leave, will this store close later?"
"Don't worry, I have a friend who promised to come to work during the day. He should be here soon. You can check it out then and tell him briefly what he has to do at work." Ye Xiaxuan has already started to clear away the things on the table, "His name is Wang Xiu."
Su Yi nodded, Ye Xiaxuan packed up his things and shouted upstairs, "Elder Yang, I have some things to do, so I will leave first. Just take the books you want to take away. My cousin will stay here at night. If you have anything, you can tell him directly."
"Okay! You go and do your work first!" Yang Zhengcheng's eyes lit up and he walked downstairs. Su Yi will be keeping the store here? Can he come here often in the future?
You must know that there is not only that ancient monument on Sword-Washing Mountain, but there are too many things worth studying. I don't know if Su Yi can understand those things.
Of course he doesn't know that the things on Sword-Washing Mountain are all Su Yi's personal belongings. If it were in the past, Su Yi would probably take all the things back, but now, he just leaves them to the state for safekeeping and has no use anyway.
