Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 399: Just thinking about it makes my eyes go dark, thinking about it again makes it darker

The word "inflation" suddenly popped up in his mind, and Yinzhen's chubby face turned pale with fright.

Like a headless fly, he turned around and ran out.

Huang Luzhuang was extremely surprised: "Brother? Eighteenth Prince! Hey, don't run! It's just a small bet. If you don't agree, just forget it. But watch your step..."

Otherwise, if we fall down, we will all have to worry about our heads.

There is no way. The current emperor is too doting on Prince Heshuo Rui.

Yinxuan's head is buzzing and he is so confused that he doesn't even care what he said.

He walked out of the door and climbed onto his own carriage: "Let's go, let's go quickly, let's go to the palace to see Khan Ama!"

"Whoo."

The driver answered respectfully and pulled the reins onto the horse's back.

The carriage started to gallop.

It was so fast that the messengers standing nearby didn't have time to react.

I heard that the Eighteenth Prince rushed into the palace with a pale face and pursed lips.

Kangxi even resorted to the trick of urinating, putting pressure directly on the prince.

The prince held his forehead and said, "Haven't you made all the necessary preparations? Why do you have to do this?"

Ha ha.

Kangxi sneered. Preparation is preparation, and the little guy is throwing a tantrum.

He would complain about the entire Qing Dynasty if he disagreed with something, and even did not let his ancestors off the hook.

He couldn't hit him or scold him.

Staying here is just to get bullied.

It is better to out of sight and out of mind, and wait for the prince's final summary.

The prince who wanted to escape but couldn't: ...

He could only force himself to smile as he watched Yin Xuan, who came in in a hurry, "Didn't Eighteenth Brother go with Mr. Huang to look at that internal combustion engine? You look so bad, is the result not satisfactory?"

"No no no!"

Yin Xuan shook his head: "Brother Crown Prince, you can doubt anything, but don't doubt the ability of Mr. Huang."

[Let alone this level of improvement, even creating something from scratch, imagining it, and manufacturing it bit by bit could not stop him and his group of companions.]

[If they were given enough time, they might have invented the airplane two or three hundred years earlier, not to mention the steam engine and the internal combustion engine…]

This is blind affirmation!

and so……

If it wasn't him, Mr. Huang, then it was a group of people in their eighties or nineties who were sneaking away?

hiss~

The prince lowered his eyes and smiled in the spirit of delaying as long as possible: "Then why did Eighteenth Brother come to see Khan Ama? He said he was not here. If you have anything to say, you can simply tell Second Brother and I will see if I can help you."

Kangxi, who was hiding behind the screen, was so angry that he gritted his teeth: Bastard!

It's such a rip-off.

What do you mean he said he wasn't there?

In this case, the waiter next door did not steal anything.

If Kangxi had not been rational, he would have rushed out and kicked the prince three times for being a traitor to his father.

In the past, Yinxuan would have reacted instantly.

Then he rushed into the inner room, dragged out the unreliable father Kangxi, and told him in detail about his indignation and displeasure.

Now?

He was actively thinking about how to use his limited financial knowledge to discuss inflation with his second brother, the crown prince, who was purely an ancient person.

When I think about it, my eyes go dark. When I think about it again, my eyes go darker.

It's just annoying.

After thinking about it, I still couldn't come up with a suitable explanation.

In the end, I had no choice but to ask the prince directly if he knew about inflation.

what?

The prince was stunned: "I have never heard of this term, but the objects are different, or the names are not exactly the same. Eighteenth brother, tell me, what do you mean by inflation?"

"It's, it's..."

Yin Xuan scratched his head: "It means that the money supply is greater than the actual demand for money, which leads to currency depreciation and continued price increases."

"Didn't my brother just go to Mr. Huang's place to look at the internal combustion engine?"

Yinxuan chattered away, explaining in detail the little bet between him and Huang Luzhuang.

And he was deeply afraid: "Mr. Huang said that money is worthless now. Things that could be bought with ten taels of silver in the past now cost at least eleven taels. Do you know what this means, Prince Second Brother?"

Although the prince has no concept of inflation, he is also an excellent disciple who has been carefully taught by famous teachers and scholars for many years, okay?

It is nonsense to say that he has read all the ancient and modern classics, but he is also quite knowledgeable about the history, economy, politics, etc. of past dynasties.

Hearing this, he chuckled: "It's just like Wang Mang changing the currency, Dong Zhuo destroying the Wuzhu coin, and the Three Kingdoms currency value?"

"No, these are all caused by tax and currency reforms, or the random issuance of currency during the turbulent years. They are not similar to the situation in our Qing Dynasty."

"If we make an analogy, our current situation is a bit similar to the Longqing opening in the Ming Dynasty?"

Yin Xuan's pupils trembled, and then he jumped up excitedly: "Ah, right, right, right! The more you talk, the more right it is. The second brother of the crown prince is worthy of being the second brother of the crown prince. He is well-versed in ancient and modern knowledge, smart, but not the best. No, he is not bald, hehehe."

"My brother is just worried that the Qing Dynasty will repeat the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty's Longqing period, where excessive influx of gold and silver will lead to high prices for goods and low prices for silver, which is the so-called inflation."

[Then inflation, deflation, economic collapse, the whole thing is over.]

Once this news came out, not only the prince, but even Kangxi could no longer hide.

He flashed directly: "Aren't you a little too alarmist, little guy?"

Although the scenarios are somewhat similar, they are ultimately different.

Our Qing Dynasty is not like the Ming Dynasty, where most of the maritime trade is controlled by the powerful and wealthy.

Allowing them to buy land on a large scale would intensify land annexation, widen the gap between the rich and the poor, and put another heavy pressure on the already shaky imperial court.

Most of the Qing Dynasty’s maritime trade was the court’s maritime trade.

Not only did the imperial court control a large amount of trade, it also increased countless taxes.

They also implemented the tax system based on the amount of land they owned.

Considerable restrictions have also been imposed on land transactions and other aspects.

It's not like the previous dynasty...

Seeing his indifferent look, Yinxuan couldn't help but laugh.

[Although I only have some basic knowledge of finance and economics, I still have some theoretical knowledge, which should be enough to shock Kangxi's father... huh?]

Yinxuan thought with some uncertainty.

Then, with the arrow on the string, he began to shoot: "No, no, no, Khan Ama Qian, listen to your son!"

"After listening to this, you should know the importance of this matter. You should worry about how to prevent and control it so that the dam will not collapse due to an ant hole."

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it for now. As the saying goes, one person's plan is short, but two people's plan is long."

"Since this is such an urgent matter, call all the princes in Beijing. Let's put our heads together and maybe three cobblers can be better than Zhuge Liang."

Wow, this guy is so quick-witted.

The prince almost blinked his eyes twice, but he was unable to stop his own Khan father.

He could only light candles silently in his heart and pray that soon, after the little guy saw that his eighth, ninth and tenth brothers had quietly left Beijing and boarded the ocean-going ships, their crying would become quieter, giving the roof of the Qianqing Palace a chance.

The messenger was very fast, and the other princes were not slow either.

After a while, Wei Zhu reported back that everyone was there.

Yin Xuan was puzzled: "Why aren't my eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers here?"
