Ye Hua knew what Zhao Erjian was thinking from his smile. The so-called bamboo rat was just a joke. What his apprentice really wanted him to see was this one as a five-month money!

As Ye Hua's apprentice, Zhao Er definitely surpassed many people in the world in economics. Even the Sansi Envoy Li Gu might not have beaten him. When Zhao Er took the risk to sneak into the Southern Tang Dynasty and hoped to rescue Han Xizai, he found that the five-copper coins were circulating on the market. He immediately changed a few and brought them back.

"Master, is this something very important?"

Ye Hua smiled softly and pondered: "This small copper coin can kill Li Hongji!"

"Ah!" Zhao Er was shocked, "Is that serious?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Since the Grand Historians written the Records of the Grand Historian, historians of all generations have used emperors, generals and ministers as the theme of describing history. The so-called wise rulers and wise ministers work hard to govern, peace in the world, and peace in the people, which means peace and prosperity. Once the king is stupid and cruel, and the slander and villains are flooded with the court, the court will be damaged and the country will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed."

Zhao Er nodded immediately, "Master is right, but is it wrong to write this?"

"It can't be wrong, but it's also very one-sided and very undesirable!" Ye Hua weighed the big money in his hand. "The actual weight of this copper coin is only more than twice that of an ordinary copper coin. However, Nan Tang said that this is worth five major coins. Is it recognized by the people?"

Zhao Er shook his head silently, "In the folk, this kind of big money is as high as four cents, so buying bamboo rats with small money is three cents per. If you buy three, pay for them with large money, you will need two ten cents, which is actually just eight cents."

Ye Hua smiled and said, "So, how much money can be worth is not only the court has the final say, but also depends on the indirect acceptance of the people."

Although there are also biographies of the Records of the Grand Historian, the Grand Historian was unable to afford money and had to write the Records of the Grand Historian, so he endured humiliation and chose castration. Because of the pain of his skin, Sima Qian actually studied the economy.

Since then, many financial management experts have written many clever insights. However, these are not comparable to Ye Hua. After all, in the era he lived in, the economy was highly developed and the information was particularly rich. He could talk freely when he found out and threw it into ancient times. He was very wise... Since Emperor Wu of Han, minting coins has been the privilege of the court, representing the credit of a country, and it is unscathing to be careless. For example, the Wuzhu coins in the Han Dynasty were among the best.

Generally speaking, the initial coin is worth two or more, and the quality is the best. It is very convenient to trade, so there is no need to worry.

However, with the development of the economy, the demand for money has increased greatly. In addition, the Central Plains has lacked precious metals since ancient times. At this time, the court responsible for minting coins will have some bad ideas.

For example, mix lead into copper coins, or simply discount the materials to cast small and poor money, and use inferior money as good ones... Currency and finance are important means for the imperial court to regulate the economy, but there are obvious differences between the two.

Financial means are usually manifested as increasing the amount and type of tax revenue. In a word, people are most disgusted with this practice. Whenever they want to increase taxes, they will come out to ask for the people. Local governments also oppose it, and even arouse civil unrest and uncontrollable. For example, if the additional taxes are imposed, it will ruin the Ming Dynasty. Such lessons are not uncommon.

In contrast, monetary means are much more hidden and the movement is not that big.

They just work hard on money and mint bad money. Even if the people know, they will just curse and scold them. There is no other way.

Therefore, it is easiest to make ideas about money, and it is common to ancient and modern times, and no exception is any country... When it comes to the metal standard, there will be some convergence and constraints. When it comes to the era of paper currency, Pandora's box is opened and printed whatever he wants. The marks of the Weimar regime, the gold round coupons of a certain government, and the countless zero banknotes in Zimbabwe are all masterpieces.

Even Zhuge Liang, the most wise prime minister of the ages, was no exception. After Liu Bei occupied the two rivers of Bashu, he issued the famous Taiping Hundred Coins, using more than one penny to use it as a hundred penny, and exploited the people of Shu. Only by relying on this could he go out to the Qishan Mountains six times, attack the Central Plains nine times, and compete with the powerful Cao Wei.

Of course, the people of Shu were in distress and complained. Many local ministers from Liangchuan, such as Qiao Zhou, advocated surrender after Deng Ai entered Shu, and became shameful traitors of surrender...

Therefore, when economics is used to explain history, it will appear completely different from official history.

Ye Hua kept surging. Not only Zhao Er listened, but even Fu San held his cheeks and thought, "Marty, according to your words, the issue of the Southern Tang Dynasty as the five major money is the beginning of the destruction?"

Ye Hua nodded slightly, "Although it's too early, it at least means that Li Hongji has begun to ruin his credit. He is destroying his foundation! He is seeking death by himself!"

"He is not a fool, why do he seek death by himself?" Fu San asked.

Zhao Er said: "This disciple can explain that Li Hongji is ambitious, frequently used troops to the outside world, expanded the navy, which cost a huge amount of money. He also accepted the Kong family, accepted many monks, and accepted so many scholars! When they arrived in Jiangnan, no one was willing to eat steamed buns and drink porridge, and they all had to live a good life! Especially those monks, we destroyed the Buddha and cast Buddha statues. They built temples in Jiangnan, begged for alms everywhere, and established golden bodies. Some people privately cast copper coins and made magic tools!"

"So that's it!" Fu San said: "There are not much copper in Jiangnan. If you continue to do this, there will be insufficient copper coins on the market. It is reasonable to cast as five major coins, and it is a last resort!"

Ye Hua stood up and smiled and said, "Being the five big money is just the beginning, and next there are ten, fifty, and one hundred..."

"What?" Fu San was shocked and couldn't help but frown. Isn't this a joke! I used two cents of copper to cast a large coin and used it as one hundred cents. Whoever accepts it will be a fool!

"If Li Hongji dares to do this, he is really not far from death."

Ye Hua smiled faintly, "He will definitely do it. It's not whether he wants to think about it or not, but because the situation forces him to go on this road, he won't be able to turn back! Even if he wants to turn back, we won't sit idly by!"

Zhao Er immediately rubbed his hands excitedly and his eyes shone. This kid seemed to be born to like conspiracy. Especially this high-end gameplay of open conspiracy and conspiracy made him tremble with excitement!

The master really won’t let himself down. He can see the strategy of destroying the country from a mere copper coin, that is, the master has this vision and means!

Fu San couldn't wait. This was not only to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, but also to have unlimited business opportunities and make a big profit! She still remembered that her husband taught herself a lesson, don't focus on small money. If you want to make big money, that's what it means!

They stared at Ye Hua together, and there was any good way to say it quickly! We can’t wait!

Ye Hua cleared his throat and wanted to continue speaking. Suddenly, his stomach made a rumbling sound.

"After saying so much, I'm hungry, so I'll have dinner first!"

Fu San was so angry that his little face immediately fell down. He didn't take such a thing. He stopped at the most critical moment. It was like going to a teahouse to listen to a book. When he heard the critical moment, he made a sentence and then decomposed it next time. It would be more annoying and irritating!

Ye Hua ignored his wife's gaze, he was really hungry.

"What should I do? I still need to understand the situation. After meeting Han Xizai, I will have a good talk with him and then draw up a strategy. As for now... I just want to try this!"

Ye Hua reached out, grabbed the bamboo rat's tail, and lifted a little guy out.

"Wow, it's quite heavy, at least four pounds, and it's fat enough. How about a braised bamboo rat?"

Zhao Er was stunned, "Master, didn't you say you wanted to give it to the panda? Why do you want to eat it?"

"Is there any problem?" Ye Hua looked at the two in the cage, "Eat two pandas, let's eat one. It's great. Go and cook water quickly. I'm going to cook myself!"

Ye Hua was very excited and seemed to have not cooked for a long time. He happened to be in his own manor. The weather was good and he was in a good mood. He didn't have a big meal. He was so sorry for himself.

Ye Hua ordered the boiling water, and then personally carried a kitchen knife to slaughter the bamboo rat.

"This thing is called a bamboo rat, right?"

"That's right!"

"It's a type of rat, right?"

"It should be a close relative!"

Fu San stomped his feet in anger, and his cheeks bulged, "Can you eat it?"

"What's wrong with this? It must taste good!" Ye Huaman was confident.

Fu San flipped his waist and shook his head and said, "If you want to eat it yourself, I won't eat it anyway!"

Ye Hua advised: "There is not much fatty bamboo rat, but it is all skin. It is good for the skin. Eat more and you will become more beautiful!"

"If you don't eat, you won't eat!" Fu San turned his head and left, "I won't eat mice! You are not allowed to do it in the kitchen!"

"It's a bamboo rat, not a rat!"

After Ye Hua explained, Fu San did not turn around and went straight to find Ye.

"If you don't eat, I'll eat!"

Ye Hua was too lazy to talk nonsense. He slaughtered the bamboo rat, removed the hair, removed the internal organs, and cleaned it up, which was about two pounds.

First soak in clean water for a while, add some rice wine to remove the flavor, then take it out, cut it into large pieces, and prepare to blanch it.

It’s not allowed to make better in the kitchen, the big pot just outside is quite wild!

Add wide oil, add the chopped chopped green onion, shredded ginger and garlic cloves and stir-fry, then add the rat meat and stir-fry for a while. When the skin turns slightly yellow, pour a full pot of water, and the rest will be stewed over high heat.

It is simple and crude. Although it is not as exquisite as the kitchen in the home, the taste is absolutely unparalleled. Ye Hua specially brought bamboo to burn the fire. After half an hour, a large pot of soup was gone.

He thought about it and found two more taros, washed them, cut them into large pieces and threw them in.

Next is waiting for the juice to be collected and released from the pot!

Ye Hua thought about it, then turned his head to the kitchen and moved a jar of homemade wine. By the way, there was another bowl of rice, thick broth poured on the fragrant rice, and gently mixed it... The children in the neighbor's house were crying!

If you don’t eat it, it’s your loss!

Ye Hua came out of the kitchen happily, but suddenly looked up, but found that the edge of the pot was full of people.

Zhao Er, Guo Xing, and Fu San!

Didn’t you say you won’t eat it?

Ye Hua rushed over angrily. Before he could question, Fu San took the initiative to say, "I only eat taro, and don't touch bamboo rats!"

"I hope you believe in your words!"

Ye Hua reached out and lifted the lid of the pot. Suddenly, a strong fragrance gushed out, just like a volcanic eruption! At this moment, several people poked out their chopsticks together.

Zhao Ershu quickly grabbed a piece of skin and immediately stuffed it into his mouth.

The skin is fragrant and strong, and it is 10,000 times better than the pig skin! Zhao Er was so scalded that he shed tears, but he swallowed it tenaciously. It tastes delicious, it is so delicious.

Bamboo rat is good, and the master’s skills are better!

The little brother Guo Xing lay on the pot and grabbed a piece of taro. The glutinous taro was full of the soup, and the taste was amazing.

"Brother, I am obedient. I only eat taro, not bamboo rats!"

Ye Hua said with a dark face: "What's the use of being obedient? Those who should be obedient don't listen!"

It turned out that Fu San was stuffing bamboo rat legs into his mouth!

Not only did she forget the promise she just made, she also planned to prepare a pair of large chopsticks for cooking noodles. She got the largest piece with one hand!

Fu San chewed her mouth, her cheeks bulged, and she had no image at all!

It is hard to raise a woman and a villain! Women are villains! Ye Hua rolled his eyes and was too lazy to care about her. He only had two pounds of bamboo rats. If he didn't eat it quickly, he would lose everything. Ye Hua decisively put down his chopsticks.

The four people were filled with wind and clouds. Not long after a while, there was not even a soup left.
Chapter completed!
