"Master, master, there is a call from Zhu Youxiao to see you outside." Xiaodongzi ran in in a hurry and said. I can't help but he is not nervous. It was the first time he had seen such a big battle. A hundred or so people, with a splendid canopy, you can see that one is rich or noble at a glance. He dare not neglect. I almost fell when I ran along the way.
"Hey, it really means that Cao Cao is here. Go, let him in." Wei Ming said. Originally, he wanted to go out to meet him, but after thinking about it, let it go. You have to maintain your own superior demeanor no matter what. Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao would be taken lightly. In that case, it's not a good thing for him. It is likely to affect his subsequent actions.
After a while, Zhu Youxiao came in. Fatty Wang originally had a keen interest in Zhu Youxiao, and wanted to see how sacred he was. But under Wei Ming's eyes, he still retreated very wittily. Before leaving, I didn't forget to glance at Zhu Youxiao secretly. His surname is Zhu, and he is also a high-ranking official, so it is very likely that he is a relative of the emperor! Thinking of this, Fatty Wang's legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground. I couldn't help but admire Wei Ming again. Even the line of relatives and relatives of the emperor can catch up, it seems that they are really not ordinary people! It is a miracle to be a businessman to do this.
"Brother Wei." Zhu Youxiao gave a salute to Wei Ming when he came in. Of course, Wei Ming wouldn't ask for it by himself. He also gave Zhu Youxiao a salute and called for His Highness. Not only Zhu Youxiao came here, but also his younger brother Zhu Youjian. However, Zhu Youjian had no interest in Wei Ming and looked around. It seems that seeing everything is more interesting than seeing Wei Ming. At this time, Wei Ming really felt whether he had missed it by himself. This is the diligent and thrifty Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian who is said to be a god? It is said that when you are three years old, you look old, when you are seven years old, you are also a ten-year-old now. Why are you still so uninterested.
The three were divided into guest and host seats. Wei Mingke sat down in the main seat honestly and unceremoniously, but Zhu Youxiao didn't feel anything wrong. And Zhu Youzhen doesn't matter any more. After sitting down for a while, it passed around. As if I couldn't sit still for a while.
"Don't care too much about my brother." Zhu Youxiao's expression was a little embarrassed, and he bowed his hand to Wei Ming again.
"Hehe, how come." Wei Ming was also a little embarrassed. Throwing this matter behind his head, he said, "I don't know what your highness is doing here?"
"Hehe, it's actually nothing." Zhu Youxiao laughed twice.
"If your Highness has anything to say, please listen carefully." Wei Ming said. In fact, he knew exactly what Zhu Youxiao wanted to say. It was nothing more than a few words that were sacred to him yesterday. It is estimated that because of these few words, Zhu Youxiao didn't even sleep well last night. Coming with two big dark circles under the eyes.
"Ah, that's it." Zhu Youxiao sorted out his thoughts, thinking about how he could inadvertently put forward what he wanted to say. In the end, I gave up and said straightforwardly: "Mr. yesterday made me sleepless in the next night. I have many thoughts, but I always don't understand what Mr. said to me. Please tell me what Mr. Zhu said." The name is very low, and even the title has changed. If the future emperor could call himself Mr. Wei, it would not be in vain for Wei Ming to come to Daming. However, there are some things that cannot be said through. If it is said thoroughly, it is meaningless. Without that level of mystery, Zhu Youxiao would still admire himself, or would he still respect himself as much as he does now, it doesn't matter. However, if a person in history, but also a big person in history, knows the process of historical development and manages to change it, then it will be annoying. Everything can still be under Wei Ming's control now. It's hard to say if someone is making trouble from it. Therefore, for the sake of steadiness, Wei Ming finally said: "His Royal Highness, I have talked to you enough last night. Again, everything has its own providence. God has arrived, and the manpower is very small. I want to try. To change something, in the end it can only lead to bad results and eat its own fruit. In that case, it will not be good for anyone. But I can tell you a way to let Daming go through the predicament that he has appeared in."
"What's the solution?" Zhu You school didn't have much confidence to make Wei Ming speak through. It's just that if you don't ask, you will always feel unwilling. Although I heard that Wei Ming was reluctant to say it, I was a little disappointed in my heart, but after Wei Ming threw another fruit, to some extent, it also diverted Zhu Youxiao's attention.
"Now the whole situation of Daming is not optimistic. Prices are out of control. If this continues, it will inevitably lead to catastrophes. At that time, a spark will be formed, and no one can stop it." Wei Ming said. He is not alarmist. Now that food prices are out of control and people can’t get enough to eat, they will definitely stand up and revolt. When the uprising arises, it will disrupt the entire production. The law of production was broken, the whole country fell into turmoil, and more people had no food to eat, so more people rebelled in order to get enough food. This is a vicious circle. In the end, it becomes an uprising and you can live. This is a very simple multiple choice question, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose. Although the risk of the uprising is great, the gains are also great. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a monk, a beggar, and he became emperor. What kind of prince will Xiangning? Everyone hopes to be an emperor. With a mass foundation, careerists will emerge in endlessly. Then the whole country will become a powder keg. At that time, there will be rebels everywhere, and no matter how powerful the officers and soldiers are, they will not be able to fill this bottomless pit. Once the spark of a prairie fire is formed, it will be time for the destruction of the Ming Empire.
"Then how to do it?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't think of it so far, but in his heart he felt that the current situation was really not optimistic. The Lianghuai grain shortage has shaken the capital. The officials in the capital also tried their best, but helpless clever women could hardly cook without rice. Even with the means to reach the sky and without food, they would not be able to save the people in Lianghuai. At this time, a Wei Ming appeared, under the banner of the government, and lowered the price of food. He was like a savior. That's why Zhu Youxiao became interested in him and came here to look for Wei Ming.
"Through the government's forcible intervention, issuing laws and controlling food prices in the form of laws." Wei Ming said solemnly. Even Wei Ming also thought of the ticket economy such as food stamps and cloth stamps in the past life. Isn’t there less goods? Let's ration it. Each house has a fixed amount of tickets to ensure that everyone has food. In this case, the big guys are the same, and their hearts are balanced, and no one rises up to rebel. Of course, it has not yet reached that point. If there really is that day, Wei Ming wouldn't mind using this method to alleviate his urgent needs. Now if the government is willing to intervene to control prices and the economy at a macro level, the Ming Empire will not be saved.
"Mr. I don't know something. The situation here is very complicated. It can't be said clearly in one or two sentences. This, hey." Zhu Youxiao sighed and didn't know how to explain this matter. Although the Ming Empire has not yet reached the point where it is dying ill, it is indeed quite ill. From officials to ordinary people, there are problems. First of all, the problem of official governance. There is nothing wrong with imperial examinations, but often those who have money to study, can read books, and can take fame and fame are all children of rich people, or rich people behind to support them. As a result, when these people become officials, they are represented by interests. What they represent is their family, or the interests of the interest group in which their family belongs. If the interests of the country and their small group conflict, they will definitely give priority to the interests of the group. Take Donglin Academy for example, that's it. The national interest always comes first. As for the common people, the eight-part essay of the imperial examination severely fettered the people's thinking. Even if some people can break through this bondage, they are only a few. Most people are still locked in this cage. The people are insensitive, and the rich are insatiable. This is all paralysis, which has been accumulated for a long time, and it is not that it can be solved by solving it.
