Chapter 520 The country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the old party has suffered heavy losses!

After Gu Xiancheng said this, he sat down on the chair with a pale expression, his eyes were empty, and for a moment he seemed unwilling to believe that this was true, so he asked Gu Yuncheng: "Is this true?"

Gu Yuncheng nodded and said, "It should be true."

"At least our slaves won't hide it from us!"

"In addition, there is also a letter from my family saying that the Shen family who is related to us in Dinghai has bought back the land on a large scale. I think the Shen family must have known something in advance. After all, they have always been in close contact with the fan merchants in the Wa country. of."

Gu Xiancheng's expression became even more dejected: "It seems to be true, we lost, and the defeat was miserable!"

As Gu Xiancheng spoke, his hands trembled, and when he wanted to stand up, he suddenly felt his legs go weak.

Gu Yuncheng quickly helped him up: "Brother!"

"I'm fine, I just feel sorry for my ancestors!"

"Yeah, after all, we have sold so much ancestral property at such a low price this time, we are not filial!"

"It's a shame that the Shen family didn't notify us in advance."

"He naturally wants to lose less."

"Don't blame them for now, tell the family quickly, don't sell the things in the store!"

Gu Xiancheng said.

"Okay, shall we notify the Ye family and the An family who are married to us?"

Gu Yuncheng asked.

Gu Xiancheng looked at him: "Inform them what to do, don't take advantage of this time when not many people have reacted, and entrust more overseas Chinese businessmen who are close to us to collect their antique jade wares and reduce losses. Do you want to let more people at this time?" People are eager to sell silver dollars, let the silver dollars fall even harder, then you and I will be even more ashamed to see our ancestors in the future!"

Gu Yuncheng nodded in agreement.

"Fall again?"

"Are there so many fools, knowing that silver is expensive, but still spending silver dollars?"

Lu Yinchang, a member of the Wenxuan Department, saw the price of silver dollars exchanged for grain in the "Di Bao", muttering to himself in disappointment, and then he suddenly saw another news published in the "Di Bao", Ma Gui The news that nearly 2000 million taels of silver was copied in the country of Wa.

Lu Yinchang's eyes widened immediately.

"Why is it happening like that?!"

"I have pity on my beautiful maid, Ruiya, who was sold cheaply to a husband, and now I'm afraid she is no longer a virgin!"

Lu Yinchang suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared a few times, then fainted directly on the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Yinchang's servant hurriedly helped him up, and then he accidentally caught a glimpse of the content in the "Di Bao", so that night he rolled up a bunch of antiques and jades that he didn't have time to sell under the order of the master and went away. .

Yushi Wang Zhixiang even saw the news directly through the Tang Bao, and lost his mind on the spot. He threw the bullets that would be handed over to impeach Shen Shixing after he was ready, etc., directly into the brazier, and With a wry smile, he took a few steps back and said:

"It's over, it's over!"

"My five thousand acres of irrigated fields!"

Dongning brother Jiao Zhaolong also cried after seeing the newspaper, and chose to hang himself that night, mainly because he really couldn't accept the result.

"The price of silver dollars is really still falling, and has fallen to the level of ten years in Wanli, and many workshops have begun to resume production."

"Especially in places like silk and satin villages and jade shops, where the rich often go, the price of Sichuan brocade and Lu silk has risen by [-]%, and many wealthy households have begun to exchange silver for these things."

Gu Yuncheng came back and said to Gu Xiancheng.

Gu Xiancheng had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Why did you suddenly copy so much silver in Japan!"

"Now, His Majesty's prestige as the lord will increase again, not only for his martial arts, but also for his benevolent reputation for benefiting the people and benefiting the people. More importantly, it will further prove that the divine will is the will of heaven."

"Because of their new party, it can be said that it is because the people need silver dollars that His Majesty knows that there is a lot of silver in the Japanese country. Even with the war of conquering Japanese, His Majesty does not need to bear the name of militarism, but only the name of holy candlelight. "

"Yes!"

"National affairs can't be done, and family affairs are now beginning to have hidden worries. Once the clan blames us for selling the [-] acres of Taihu Lake farmland that our ancestors had so hard to get for cheap, how should we face it?"

After Gu Yuncheng agreed, he asked about Gu Xiancheng.

"How did I know!"

Gu Xiancheng suddenly lost his composure and yelled loudly, his face turned grim, and he said:

"Aside from confessing, what else can I do, I can only find a way to redeem it in the future."

"But the redemption may not be such a cheap price."

Gu Yuncheng said.

Gu Xiancheng said: "It still has to be redeemed! After all, it is the land left by the ancestors."

"Yes!"

……

With the influx of a large amount of silver dollars into the market, and the news that the imperial court had obtained a large amount of silver from the Wa Kingdom gradually spread to the bottom. In addition, many vigilant big households also began to repurchase assets, so many people also began to react. Start to spend the silver dollars in your hands when the price is high, and some bold ones even borrow money for consumption.

There is no way, as the number of silver dollars circulating in the market increases, inflation has begun to appear.

However, inflation has not yet reached a serious level, only slight inflation.

Because the imperial court has been releasing silver dollars in a controlled manner, and the Ming Dynasty is short of silver, it is still very difficult to cause great inflation in the Ming Dynasty through silver dollars, a silver-based currency, unless it is true that all the silver in the world They all grabbed it.

It is worth mentioning that food prices did not rise on a large scale, but only slightly and in an orderly manner, which was also controlled by the imperial court.

In the past, the Ming court bought back a large amount of grain when the rich and powerful gentry sold high-quality assets at a low price, so that the large warehouses were full of grain and rice. Now they can also release a large amount of grain through the government-run grain store to stabilize The purpose of food prices is to encourage farmers to cultivate, but it does not completely suppress the rising trend of food prices, but only allows them to rise slightly, so that the wages of ordinary people in the market can keep up with the rise in food prices, and they can bear the rise in food prices.

As the 16th year of Wanli's New Year's Eve approaches, the price of silver dollars has fallen to a very low price, which has stimulated the circulation of silver dollars in the eighth year of Wanli and ninth year of Wanli, which were originally hidden in the cellars of many big households.

And the market has indeed re-prospered, the unemployment rate has begun to decline, and many workshops have begun to order Zhu Yijun the newly established Daming Bank to actively borrow money, and then actively resume work and production.

Hearing that the price of silver dollars has plummeted, Hai Rui, who came out to inspect the market with Wang Yongji in plain clothes, saw that there were no more unemployed homeless people queuing up to receive relief porridge in the porridge sheds in Shuntian Prefecture. It also started to squeak and squeak. When it started to operate, it couldn't help laughing, and said to Wang Yongji who was walking with him with a smile:

"The country is safe again."

"Yes!"

Wang Yongji also said with a smile, and then said: "It's not just that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, but the situation of annexation has been greatly improved. In the past, Qingzhang Tianmu, officials and gentry were integrated to pay food and errands, and clean up Buddhist temples. After all, there was no annexation at all. But this time, it really touched the root of serious mergers in the name of controlling the price of silver dollars.”

Hai Rui smiled: "It's not because of the greed of those rich and powerful households. They don't see the country in their eyes, they only care about it. That's what led to today's situation. The fertile land and prosperous shops are occupied by the common people, which is also against the taxation of the country."

"But come to think of it, they will not be willing to admit the loss."

Wang Yongji said at this time.

After hearing this, Hai Rui turned around and looked at Wang Yongji.
