227 The wheels of history roll forward
From the member column of the elementary group, among the people added this time, there are men, women, young and old, poor and rich, and there is even a person's name with the words "batheintin". Hu Guang saw that the English was not like English and the pinyin was not like Pinyin, so he had to consume the achievement value and click the translation button, and the name was displayed as "Baden Ting".
"..." Hu Guang was speechless. The translation seemed to be no different from not translating it, and he still didn't know the specific situation. He wanted to ask directly, but he looked at the speed of the screen in the chat area. After thinking about it, he would just forget it and wait until their crazy energy disappeared.
Suddenly, he moved his heart and clicked Ma Fugui's icon to look at it. He found that the private chat button was available. In addition, a gray button appeared under the private chat button, which turned out to be "Guess".
Great! Hu Guang couldn't help but comment in his heart, then switched to Haoge's icon, clicked the private chat button, and was about to call "Little Boar Skin", but he heard the system prompt.
"Ding, the system prompts, does the host need to consume 5 achievement value to initiate a private chat?"
"..." Hu Guang was speechless, and he didn't expect that the private chat function would charge. Then forget it, the wild boar skin seemed to praise him in Manchu language, so there was no need to spend the achievement value.
However, he soon thought of a question: Since this private chat consumes the achievement value, does that mean that members cannot initiate private chats?
Thinking of this, he tried to ask the system to see if there is any answer. Unexpectedly, the system actually had an answer this time: "When the host admires a certain member or has a good impression of a certain member, the other party will obtain the achievement value, which can be used for consumption in this system."
When Hu Guang heard this, he felt relieved. This is great. People like Haoge, Ma Fugui, and Qian Fugui should not want to chat privately.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Wen Tiren's icon shaking. He was a working group by himself, and no one in the group was overwhelmed, and it was not affected by the new functions. If he wanted to speak, he must talk to the emperor.
Hu Guang thought so, then switched over and saw that Wen Tiren was paying New Year's greetings.
He immediately smiled and said, "I am poor, I can't afford a red envelope!"
The sound was converted into text display, and Hu Guang suddenly realized that text could not express emotions like language. No wonder the system had to activate emojis at the same time.
So he clicked on the emoji and gave him a smile.
Wen Tiren was slightly slowed for a while, and then he also returned a smiley face symbol.
When Hu Guang saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise: "I am worthy of being the prime minister, but I can even know how to use emojis at once."
At this time, a line of text appeared: Your Majesty, the 620,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue were exchanged for only about 15,000 taels. Moreover, the total number of soldiers in the Beijing camp and other soldiers in the capital city was only about 110,000 taels. I think it would be better to print another 490,000 taels of paper money, so that I don’t have to worry about cashing out, okay?”
When Hu Guang heard this, he nodded first, but immediately came to his senses. He shook his head and said to Wen Tiren: "It is inappropriate. In the early stage of issuance of paper money, reputation is the most important. Although as Wen Qing said, the soldiers of the Kings-Superior Army who occupied the majority have returned to their original garrison, there will be no run for the time being. However, if the court issued nearly 500,000 taels of paper money, and had not heard that the court had new income of so much silver, after this news spread, it would inevitably affect the credibility of the paper money."
Speaking of this, Hu Guang emphasized: "Although the imperial court is in urgent need of money, it's better to forget about this matter!"
At this time, he felt that his writing was flawed, at least his tone and attitude could not be conveyed in real time, so he had to add an exclamation mark.
"Your Majesty is wise, I understand!" Wen Tiren replied immediately without pausing this time.
If the reputation of the Ming Dynasty paper money has been established, Wen Tiren's idea can be considered. Historically, this is also a process that will inevitably go through.
After the silver standard is established, at a certain stage, if there is not enough silver reserve at all, it will naturally transition to the silver standard. The so-called silver standard means that the complete exchange is no longer open to full exchange, but is exchanged with restrictions. Of course, the mainstream in history is the gold standard to the gold standard.
Later, there may be repeated reversions to the silver standard, and then the silver block standard, and eventually gradually transitioned to the exchange rate standard and the credit standard.
In fact, these systems cannot be said to be better than those. It can only be said that at a certain period, which system is more suitable, because they all have their shortcomings.
I guess only one of us knows this knowledge in this plane. Hu Guang thought in his heart, it seems that he has to grasp this part by himself.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang immediately remembered the crucial thing, which was the issue of food.
To be honest, at this stage, no, in this era, nothing is more important than food!
To put it in the smallest way, the capital of the capital after the war is in urgent need of food; in Shaanxi and Gansu, when the New Year is over, the accumulated official documents will fly to the front of the imperial palace like snowflakes, right? The most critical of these is definitely the food problem. In the southwest, the chieftain rebellion has not been completely quelled, and it also requires food...
To put it bluntly, the whole world is in the Little Ice Age, and there are at least twenty years left. During this period, natural disasters were more serious than before, and the biggest impact was the food problem.
Thinking of this, Hu Guang remembered what Liu Xingzuo reported today at about noon, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
If there is no food adjustment in the surrounding provinces, the food controls they have set before will cause a large number of people to starve to death in the capital. By that time, the matter of saving the people in Yongping and other places will become a ridiculous strategy that the capital will hate.
If such a situation really happens, the capital will be in chaos. If the capital is in chaos, let alone the Ming Dynasty, whether your throne can be saved or your life can be saved is a question.
But if Hu Guang ignored the lives and death of the surrounding people, he forced the people's food to rob the food of the surrounding provinces, then the provinces around the capital would inevitably break out like the turmoil in Shaanxi. At that time, although the capital was temporarily saved, the final result would be a question whether the capital could be saved!
Thinking of this, Hu Guang could no longer sit still. The food problem must not be solved after the incident broke out. If that happens, it would be too late!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a surprise from Queen Zhou: "Your Majesty, the New Year is here! I would like to congratulate Your Majesty on a happy New Year and everything goes well!"
The wheels of history roll forward, and the third year of Chongzhen has arrived!
