The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

He grabbed Yan Song's arm and said in tears, "The parents who gave birth to me, and those who know me, are Yan Aiqing too! I feel that building the three halls and the Yongling Mausoleum is not a waste, but creating wealth for Ming Dynasty?"

Yan Song smiled, and said confidently: "Your Majesty, please think about it, if you don't buy these stones and wood, if you don't hire those carpenters and masons, what will they do for a living? If there is no demand for those wood factories and stone factories, why don't they close their doors? Those workers How do you eat with your family?"

At the end, Yan Song said in an almost adoring tone: "My emperor has a kind heart. He couldn't bear to see the market slump and the people's livelihood slump, so he generously donated money to stimulate the economy with internal savings. Those ignorant and old-fashioned old ministers not only can't understand my emperor's heart. It really shouldn't be opposed to people's livelihood and invigorating the economy, but to stick to the old ways, hold on to the incomplete, and oppose it."

Jiajing cried like tears, hugged Yan Song tightly, and all the snot bubbles came out.

"I, Yan Aiqing, understand my thoughts!"

Jiajing really regretted why he didn't call Yan Song yesterday.

I am used to the poor life in the past, and Jiajing doesn't feel that hard.

But Yan Song's tricks are brilliant. He intentionally made the emperor suddenly rich, with a lot of money, and then he didn't give the emperor the way to manage money, and let the emperor build a roller coaster...

Suddenly getting rich and becoming poor overnight, Jiajing really couldn't bear the hard times of tightening his belt everywhere.

He began to study "The Wealth of Nations" earnestly.

The title of Chapter 3 [Rich Dad, Poor Dad - How to invest prudently and realize financial freedom].

This chapter talks about the importance of investing.

Yan Song made it very clear: "A person's total wealth does not depend on his income, but on his investment."

·····

It has to be said that Jiajing was deeply moved by Yan Song's common sense of economics and finance in later generations, and his simple and easy-to-understand expressions.

He read chapter after chapter, and from time to time he was overwhelmed.

An hour has passed.

Two hours passed.

It's time to hold the lights.

Huang Jin came in and held the lamp for Jiajing.

Jiajing sighed, put down [The Wealth of Nations], looked at Yan Song, and sighed: "Yan Aiqing, why didn't you dedicate this book to me earlier? If I read this book a year ago, I wouldn't have given 5000 Thousands of silver, squandered."

Yan Song said in his heart, if you are not poor, why would you be in the mood to listen to me say this?

"This book." Jiajing looked at Yan Song playfully: "You wrote it, Yan Aiqing, right?"

Yan Song smiled and said: "My humble work, it's just a game."

Jiajing looked up to the sky and looked at the roof of the palace for a while, as if his mind was wandering into the sky.

But Yan Song knew that this was the emperor's act of thinking about the problem.

This will determine whether The Wealth of Nations can be published, and will also determine the fate of the Ming Empire.

"Your book is very well written." Jiajing said slowly, "Unfortunately, I can only show it to myself."

Yan Song's heart skipped a beat, and he said in his heart that indeed the emperor is not so easy to fool!

Jiajing touched the cover of "The Wealth of Nations" with some regret, and sighed: "This book, just like Zi Zhi Tong Jian, is for you to read. As a study of economics, it will be of great benefit. But it cannot be published publicly. , act in the world."

This is Jiajing's attitude.

I can read and study this book, but it cannot be printed publicly.

Of course Yan Song was not reconciled.

He is going to use this "The Wealth of Nations" to win the Nobel Prize in Economics, ah bah, change the future fate of Ming Dynasty and China, how can he only show it to the emperor?

He observed the words and expressions, and said in a deep voice, "Because the government and the opposition are against it?"

Jiajing smiled lightly and said: "There are thousands of people talking about mere mediocrity, why should I be afraid?"

Yan Song was shocked.

I go?

He originally thought that if the emperor wanted to oppose this book, the greatest resistance must be the fear of opposition from the government and the opposition.

Unexpectedly, Jiajing didn't care at all.

Yes.

He is a maverick emperor who dared to fight against the whole world at the age of 15!

How can you be afraid of mere opposition?

"Then why does the emperor object to publishing this book?" Yan Song asked again.

Jiajing said indifferently: "For the sake of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty, the law of the ancestors!"

Yan Song smiled wryly.

really.

Jiajing said in a deep voice: "What Aiqing said, I actually believe it. You said that my Ming Dynasty relies heavily on agriculture, which led to serious land annexation, farmers' hardships, and weak national taxation. It is a true insight that meets the disadvantages of the time. However... ··”

He pointed to the table in front of him: "Look at my motto!"

Yan Song took a look.
