When Wang Fu woke up, it was the sky.

Although it was already autumn, the entire Hetao area and Jining area were still in full swing. With the call of doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing, the entire Hetao and Jining area seemed to have become active.

Zhu Qiyu sat in Juxian Pavilion in the martial arts lecture hall, writing the summary of the salt and iron conference. He stood up and prepared to attend the salt and iron conference.

He took two steps and turned around and said, "Tell Changping Hou that the list of the generals of the new school year should be confirmed. If you don't send them here, the generals of the generals of the military lecture hall will be delayed next year."

Xing'an took a deep breath and said dumbly: "Is Your Majesty talking about Changping Hou Yangjie?"

Zhu Qiyu stopped in a hurry, but he was a little dazed. Hou Changping had already left.

He shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about Yang Hong, not Yang Jie. This matter is equivalent to Shaobao coming back from Hetao and doing it."

"No, not Yang Jie." Zhu Qiyu emphasized again, as if he was emphasizing Xing'an, and as if he was saying to himself again.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand again, feeling lost, and got used to having Yang Hong on his side, so he suddenly left.

Just chatting.

He was about to continue doing his own thing, but he didn't look at the threshold under his feet and staggered.

"Your Majesty!" Xing'an hurriedly followed. His Majesty now doesn't like a bunch of palace officials behind his butt, so Xing'an is responsible for Zhu Qiyu's daily life.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just distracted."

Xing'an sighed. Although His Majesty was calm on the surface, he still cared about Yang Hong's death.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the salt and iron conference room, and many ministers were exchanging their opinions. They had their own ideas about some recent financial affairs.

Some of these ideas are mature and some are immature, and they all need to be decided by His Majesty the Emperor.

"See Your Majesty, can your Majesty be safe?" The ministers greeted him.

Zhu Qiyu was not very emotional and nodded and said, "Well, sit down."

"What did we discuss at the last salt and iron meeting? How do the people in the Hetao area resettle, the imperial court prepares to move people, etc., Hetao is currently in ruins and needs to wait for the memorials of the local censors."

"Lin Xiu, Wang Hu, you are ready to send Jizhou to Hetao area. Xu Youzhen's water conservancy construction and Kuai Xiang supervised the coal and iron plant in Shengzhou, both need Jizhou's help."

Lin Xiu and Wang Hu bowed their heads and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhu Qiyu turned his head and said, "Shangshu Yu, Shanxi privately sealed salt indices, we should not turn a deaf ear just because they were dormant for a while. We must investigate it to the end! No matter who is found, we will never tolerate it."

"The private salt in Jiangnan cannot be relaxed, and it must be investigated strictly. Even the owner of the private salt must report to the court and not to publish it privately, otherwise it will be handled."

The private salt supply incident in Jiangnan has been hit for a year, and Zhu Qiyu has given them a year of adjustment. If they continue to be obsessed with it, they cannot blame Zhu Qiyu's subordinates for being ruthless.

Yu Shiyue hurriedly bowed and said, "I will receive the order, and I will do my best to supervise this matter."

"The Tongzheng Department, the Censorate, and the provincial Censorate must cooperate fully. The plan is about to be done and not relax." Zhu Qiyu said to Wang Wen.

Wang Wen bowed and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, I've been doing it all the time."

Wang Wen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped, but finally said in a low voice: "His Majesty has a new position of 7th rank as a political and political leader? Recently, someone held this official card and was active in Beijing, but I have never heard of this.

I have never seen this person in my position.”

"Well, I have set up a special position as the seventh rank of the general manager of the political affairs, and go directly to Tianting, Wang Zongxian, this person is..."

"It's true that I'm afraid that there will be thieves to pretend, so I asked this question." Wang Wen immediately shook his head like a rattle, interrupting His Majesty's words.

This special position was obviously for His Majesty to understand the civil affairs of the capital. He was idle and had nothing to do. Isn’t this just like, wanting to know how many bowls of rice His Majesty can eat?

That's asking for death.

Zhu Qiyu was helpless. Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Now that the bait was thrown, the fish ran away.

How can this be done?

However, Zhu Qiyu is the emperor and he can pump water.

Xia Heng, the minister of Taipu Temple, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the horse price is silver, the construction of the horse market is silver, 300,000, and a total of 60,000 horses, all of which are good horses that are seven cents fat in four years. Now they have been raised in Shanglinyuan.

There are still 20,000 cattle and 60,000 sheep."

Zhu Qiyu thought something was wrong after a little measurement, and said in confusion: "I remember that the price of horses is six taels per horse, eight taels per head, and three taels per sheep."

"How can you buy so much? You bought 736,000 taels of silver?"

Xia Heng bowed and said, "That's a private horse, a tribute exchange, a horse with four silver coins, a cow with five silver coins, and a sheep with one silver coins, so it's a total of 400,000 silver coins."

Zhu Qiyu immediately understood what Xia Heng meant, but it was not difficult to understand. Translation and translation meant that there was no middlemen to make a difference, so the price naturally decreased a lot.

"But I gave me 300,000 silver coins, why did I exchange for 400,000 silver coins? And how much did I spend on the account of building a tribute market?" Of course, Zhu Qiyu saw such a simple question.

Lin Xiu and Wang Hu each took out the account books and placed them in front of Zhu Qiyu, bowing down and saying, "Your Majesty, this is the account."

Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it for a long time, then closed it and gave it to the eunuchs of the treasury and the envoy of the treasury. He was quite helpless.

This can be rolled up...

Specifically, at the beginning, the price of horses was indeed four silver coins per horse, but they could not withstand a lot of goods and very few silver coins.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty and the Oirat began to fight, and the transaction of private horses and livestock was completely cut off.

As soon as the Gongshi opened this year, the first ones on the grassland were naturally exchanged at normal prices. After that, the price became lower and lower, and finally there were 270,000 silver coins and 400,000 yuan of goods.

Jin Lian also looked through the accounts and looked puzzled. He did not do business. He was surprised to see this phenomenon for the first time.

If it were put in the past, Jin Lian would definitely say that Zhu Chun really knows how to do business, but now his keen gap is at the wrong point.

According to His Majesty’s definition of goods, goods include use value and exchange value.

Then this phenomenon occurred in Jiajiaying Gong City. It is obvious that the use value has not changed, because the amount of labor has not changed, but the exchange value has decreased, resulting in a decrease in price.

According to Your Majesty's definition of the value of use, only labor is the only yardstick for measuring the value of use, so the value of use has not changed much, but because of the change of exchange value, the price has changed so much.

The value of use is clearly stated on the issue of labor remuneration at the last salt and iron meeting, and it is divided into concrete labor and abstract labor. For example, farming is concrete labor, and for example, scholars are abstract labor.

The amount of abstract labor and concrete labor is not easy to measure.

The amount of exchange value is different in different regions. For example, it is obviously a stone of rice, but it is different in Susong area, in the capital, and in Xuanfu, because the exchange value is different.

The value of use and exchange value is not easy to measure, and the value between items requires a standard, that is, the general form of value.

In the past, the general value form of the Ming Dynasty was mainly reflected in food. With the inflow and increase of silver, the general value form became silver.

The general form of value appears, which is obviously the result of commodity flow.

However, silver cannot be used as a general equivalent, because the methods of casting silver ingots in different places are different, the methods and the colors are different, which brings many inconveniences to life.

The silver coins issued by His Majesty's new monetary policy are undoubtedly the general equivalent.

Silver coins represent wealth.

The Yongle Tongbao in the past also represented wealth.

Jin Lian said angrily: "So these Tatar kings don't care about the lives and deaths of the people under their rule? They only exchanged less than 30,000 kilograms of salt and 40,000 kilograms of iron in Gongshi, and they are all in a state of dying.

Buyed..."

Hu Yi also looked at the accounts, shook his head repeatedly, and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, this financial affairs are indeed a science, which has solved my doubts that I have not solved for many years."

On the grassland, there is no such thing as general equivalent.

Especially after the military failure of the Fisher Navy, it led to the failure of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The grassland was in a state of separation for a long time. Not to mention silver coins, there was not even a treasure banknote.

This is not difficult to explain. During the Yongle period, all major tribes only had Yongle Tongbao, so in the 16th year of Yongle, Emperor Wen angrily denounced the Tatar King without regard for the people's livelihood, and both man and gods abandoned it.

Zhu Qiyu also shook his head and said with a sigh: "Money is liquid wealth, and the value of silver coins is almost gone. If it is not exchanged, isn't it worthless? These Tatar kings do not understand this truth at all..."

After the farm law in Jining area began, many Tatars joined, and these people were divided and scattered into the farm law in Jiuzhou and Hetao areas.

Hu Yi looked around and looked at it. Not to mention the Tatar King, have they understood this truth recently under the guidance of His Majesty?

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and said, "Tutuobu Buhua asked me to reprimand the Tatar King. What can I do? Send my wealth theory to the grassland and let them study hard?"

It was because he really sent his wealth to the grassland, and the Tatar King would only use it as a paper to wipe his butt.

Hu Yi bowed his head and said, "There are not many people on Your Majesty's grassland that understand Sinology, and not many Tatar Kings understand it. It can be seen that the word "Tutuo Buhua" is written."

"I sent it, they don't understand either."

Hu Yi was in charge of cultural education in the Ministry of Rites. Of course, he knew the current situation on the grassland. Except for a few students who studied in the Siyi Pavilion, how many people in the grassland understand Chinese studies?

The ministers were also helpless. They had never heard of the land of kingly ways, and they always looked like this bad.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers hesitated for a moment and said, "I say that their stupidity is not just that they leave ordinary equivalents, that is, currency, and this stupidity."

"They are so stupid that they don't understand what the assets and wealth of the country and the people are."

As soon as Zhu Qiyu said this, the ministers' expressions were a little awkward, and they understood the first level...

Could it be that Your Majesty still has a high opinion?

When Zhu Qiyu saw the expressions of the ministers, he sighed. These ministers did not show their initiative at all, and had never thought deeply about financial affairs at all. They always ate as much as they feed themselves.

It's very similar to the students in class back then.

However, Zhu Qiyu thought about it and fully understood their difficulties.

Financial affairs start from scratch. They are already very difficult to understand the value of use, exchange value, measurement of value, the importance of currency, and profit.

After all, they have never been exposed to these things.
To be continued...
