    "Is it 7.9 million jins?"

    Emperor Hongzhi still felt unbelievable.

    This number is somewhat shocking.

    How many days does this take?

    "Your Majesty, slave, I heard that it was this number" The eunuch obviously did not have a deep understanding of this number.

    But for Emperor Hongzhi, this number was too scary.

    Huguang Province is only 9 million catties. It has always been this number and has never changed since Emperor Taizu Gao.

    The imperial court¡¯s demand for ironware can be said to be more or less.

    ¡°As far as the current output is concerned, it can indeed be maintained.

    But who doesn¡¯t hope that the more the merrier?

    This pig iron is the country¡¯s most important material.

    Sometimes if the copper production is insufficient, iron may even be used to make iron money.

    This is precisely because iron itself has its own value. It can be used to forge weapons, become a variety of agricultural tools, and can be used as cooking utensils. This is something that is widely used by almost everyone in the world.

    However, because the output of pig iron is not high, the imperial court often has some scruples about the production of ironware, and where there should be savings, there will be savings.

    " But the common people are even different. When a pot is broken, they don't think about replacing it with a new one. They often repair it. When a farm tool is broken, it is obviously full of holes, but they are reluctant to replace it, so they still repair it.

    There are blacksmith shops all over the world. Their biggest business is not production, but repair.

    In the army, the Ming Dynasty widely used firearms, such as artillery, but one artillery required thousands of kilograms of iron. Therefore, the imperial court had always been cautious about the casting of artillery. To put it bluntly, it could not afford to play with it.

    And because of the need to save iron, iron shells are often not used in artillery. What to use? Many artillery pieces are directly stuffed with stones, or some iron filings and gravel.

    This makes it impossible to improve the range and accuracy of gravel and iron filings that cannot fit perfectly with the barrel.

    But now in that distant Hexi, so much pig iron has been delivered in a short period of time.

    Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Did anyone see those pig iron being transported with their own eyes?"

    "Yes, there is an endless stream of cars and horses, and many warehouses and warehouses are being stocked. A lot of people have been recruited at the warehouses, and there is no bias."

    "Andand"

    Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "And what?"

    The eunuch said: "Moreover, it is said that there are still convoys coming from behindHexi has an amazing amount of iron production, and four-wheeled carriages are widely purchased by merchants. As soon as they heard that iron prices were on the rise, they acted  It was extremely fast, and we immediately recruited people. Three months ago, we set off non-stop. I thought I thought that these 7.9 million kilograms were not enough."

    Emperor Hongzhi: ""

    He finally saw the power of these merchants.

    This is a bunch of lunatics.

    In an instant, countless words appeared.

    Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but look back and glanced at Xiao Jing.

    Xiao Jing took a step back without closing his mouth.

    What kind of evil is this? This is

    Whoever you provoke is provoked.

    Xiao Jingzhan looked at Emperor Hongzhi tremblingly. In fact, he had no shame.

    "How can a person survive if he feels ashamed when he becomes a eunuch?"

    So Xiao Jing only had fear in his heart.

    Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth: "I am really stupid"

    "No, no, no, Your Majesty, you are not stupid, you are wise." Xiao Jing replied subconsciously.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am not stupid, so why do I come to ask you about the quality of The Wealth of Nations?"

    ""

    This is a bit worrying.

    This is an insult.

    Xiao Jing had a dull expression on his face, but he prostrated himself: "My slave is dead. All this is due to my stupidity and lack of clarity of mind. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is very wise"

    "That's enough!" Emperor Hongzhi thought, why did Fang Jifan speak so nicely, but when these words came out of Xiao Jing's mouth, they were also referring to Shengming, but there was always a bit of irony in them.

    Is this making fun of me?

    Xiao Jing was so frightened that his face turned pale.

    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Emperor Hongzhi said sharply.

      "Thisthis" Xiao Jing almost blurted out, then your majesty is stupid.

    Fortunately, he is an old clever guy, so he is not at all tempted to say such things as seeking death.

    Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and said: "What are you still waiting for? Go get the book."

    "Book, what book?" Xiao Jing was confused.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "On the Wealth of Nations!"

    How dare Xiao Jing be negligent, so he obediently took the book.

    Emperor Hongzhi was impressed by all this.

    It was precisely because of his impression that what the eunuch said in one breath made him clearly realize that what the eunuch said coincided with certain principles in The Wealth of Nations.

    He lowered his head and quickly opened several familiar chapters. He looked down and saw the invisible hand This invisible hand, isn't it true that everything in the world is for profit, and everything in the world is for profit!

    Of course, it is not as simple as thatandsupply exceeds demand, the relationship between production and supply and demand, and

    Reading it now is in two different realms than reading it before.

    ??The former was confused and felt that it was exaggerated. Now when I read it and compare it with what happened in reality, it seems that every place has a corresponding

    Sometimes he was silent, sometimes he frowned, sometimes he read in a low voice.

    After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi was enlightened and murmured: "I understand, the root of it lies in the supply and demand of the market The terrible thing about merchants is that they hoard goods in order to make profits; but their greatest benefit is that  It lies in their amazing power of action driven by interests."

    Think about the eunuchs guarding all over the world, as well as the iron mines of local governments, how much pig iron they produce, and how much time and cost they spend transporting it; eventhe quality of the pig iron they produceand the outputnot to mention  Said, the loss in it

    Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have begun to see some clues, but in his mind, there were still too many things that could not be explained.

    He suddenly said: "Summon Liu Wenshan!"

    "Liu Wenshan is nothing less than my son-in-law!"

    Zifang is Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Liu Wenshan, this article on the Wealth of Nations, doesn¡¯t it become the way to make a country rich and its military strong?

    During the Han Dynasty, pig iron, war horses and grain were the most important strategic resources. This alone was enough for Emperor Hongzhi to pay attention.

    Emperor Hongzhi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking inexplicably excited.

    The Wealth of Nations is a blueprint.

    This blueprint includes both the analysis of merchants and the market, as well as the monarch¡¯s new views on taxation and national governance.

    If Liu Wenshan is right on this point, what about other places?

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes: "And that scum of the world"

    "No, that's not right. If you call the king and don't serve, I won't spare anyone who talks to me about the scum of the world again."

    Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, did you also change the name of the scum king Bu Shi?"

    Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

    This seems to be a tricky thing.

    The tricky thing is that it¡¯s not something you can just change your name.

    This scum of the world, the King Bushi, accomplished a great feat. A broken ship, it reached the far west and returned. From then on, it opened a new chapter in the Hongzhi Dynasty's voyages to the West.

    This ship is destined to go down in history. Even if the name of the ship is changed, do I still want to tamper with history specifically for the sake of Wang Bushi?

    There were so many emperors in the Ming Dynasty, but there are still hidden misdeeds in the actual records of the Ming Dynasty. The actual records were not re-edited. For a king who was not an official, the historical records were changed beyond recognition. Do people recognize it?

    And it is said that those who went to sea after that regarded the scum of the world Wang Bushi as a spiritual totem. The sea was so dangerous. Countless soldiers left their hometowns and entered an unknown future. How could they not feel in their hearts?  Uneasy, people had no spiritual sustenance, so they naturally regarded the human scum Wang Bushi, which had returned safely several times, as a mascot.

    If you change your name rashly

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "I won't change it!"

    "Go and invite someone."

    "My slave obeys the order."

    "Come back!" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Xiao Jing.

    Xiao Jing quickly turned around and looked at Emperor Hongzhi.

    Emperor Hongzhi said: "You are the only one who talks a lot."

    Xiao Jing: ""
