My clinic is familiar with ancient times, Zhu Biao came to seek medical treatment

Li Zhongfu picked up Zhu Xiongying and wiped the tears from his face: "Don't cry, pink down jackets are not suitable for men, you are a man, right?"

How could Zhu Xiongying know what a man is when he is so young?

But he readily accepted the definition given by Li Zhongfu: "Yes, I am a man."

"Then don't ask for a down jacket, a man should eat big mouthfuls of food and meat."

"Third aunt, is the meal ready?" Zhu Xiongying drooled and looked at Zhu Heming expectantly.

Zhu Heming was a little embarrassed.

She had just come down and had not had time to cook.

Since Li Zhongfu said this, he had his own intentions.

Li Zhongfu took out the self-heating lunch box from his backpack and said, "This is what I prepared for you. Your sister and younger sister don't have it."

Zhu Xiongying asked with a smile, "Is there rice and meat in it?"

"Yes, and it's different from what you usually eat."

Zhu Xiongying hugged the self-heating lunch box: "Big sister, little sister, although I don't have Yu Yongfu, I have food."

Jiangdu is older after all: "Okay, okay, you don't want our down jackets, and we don't want your food either."

"Yeah."

Yilun is only two years old, but he has no concept of fairness: "Guoguo, I want to eat your food too."

Zhu Xiongying didn't hesitate at all: "Okay, let's have seven together."

"Okay, thank you Guoguo."

Zhu Xiongying: o(*￣︶￣*)o

Li Zhongfu admired Zhu Xiongying's generous character and helped him prepare the sour soup fat beef. He handed the fork to Zhu Xiongying and the spoon to Yilun.

Zhu Xiongying took a piece of fat beef and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it with a smile on her face: "Sour, spicy, really delicious."

Yilun followed suit and ate a piece of beef. She thought it was very delicious, so she raised her index finger awkwardly.

Li Zhongfu was amused by her: "Do you think it's delicious?"

"Yeah."

"Then you should give a thumbs up."

Yilun looked at her little hand and couldn't tell which one was the thumb.

After struggling for a while, she raised her little finger to Li Zhongfu.

Li Zhongfu: (⊙o⊙)...

Although Jiangdu knew that he shouldn't share his brother's food, he couldn't help but look over when he smelled the self-heating lunch box, and his mouth was drooling.

After Zhu Xiongying found out, she handed her the fork: "Sister, you eat it too."

"Then I'll try it too. I'll lend you my down jacket later." Jiangdu took the fork and picked up a piece of tofu puff.

Zhu Xiongying patted his chest and said, "I am a man, I don't wear pink."

"Doctor Li, you didn't light the fire, nor did you add boiling water, how come this lunch box boiled by itself, and the food inside was cooked?" Zhu Yuanzhang watched for a while and couldn't help asking.

"Because the food inside was cooked in advance, and there is another layer under the lunch box, which is a lime bag. When the lime meets water, it generates heat and steam comes out." Li Zhongfu explained.

"I see, it's like reheating the food."

"That's about it."

Zhu Biao said, "But I think the rice you poured in seems to be real rice, not cooked in advance."

"I've actually learned about this. Simply put, the rice is steamed in advance, then dehydrated and ground, and then some flour, sorghum flour, konjac flour, etc. are added to reshape it into the shape of rice."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "This thing is suitable for marching and fighting."

Li Zhongfu knew what he wanted to say, "It's suitable, but unless you buy it directly from me, because with the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty, it's impossible to seal it perfectly. The rice grains are okay, but the vegetable buns are not good enough, especially the meat buns, which can't be stored at all."

"That's true."

"Grandpa Taizu, Grandpa Huang, Doctor Li, what are you talking about?" Zhu Zhanji also came over, holding two old hens in his hands.

"Zhanji is here too. It's just right. After breakfast, let's ask Doctor Li about the treasure banknotes." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Why are you carrying two chickens?"

Treasure banknotes?

Li Zhongfu's heart moved.

This thing is worth asking about.

It's just right. I, who likes to read historical novels, have some understanding of it.

Zhu Zhanji explained: "These are the chickens of Liu Shitou's family. He was in a hurry to move and couldn't take them with him, so he gave them to me. I don't know how to cook, so I just brought them here."

"Send them to the kitchen."

"Yes, sir."

It was 7:30 in the morning.

Chang, Zhu Di, Empress Ma and others got up one after another.

There were many people eating today, so everyone simply brought the food prepared by Zhu Heming and Concubine Li to the dining table on the second floor.

Except for Chang and Zhu Yunhuan, everyone else was eating at the dining table.

Even Empress Ma was no exception.

TodayZhu Heming and Li Fei made clear soup noodles and tea eggs for breakfast.

It was quite refreshing to eat early in the morning.

Li Zhongfu and other grown men all ate two big bowls.

But Zhu Di was the only one who was sweating all over.

It was because he was too weak.

After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang politely took the teacup from Zhu Heming and handed it to Li Zhongfu: "Hey, Doctor Li, I want to ask you about the disadvantages of Baochao. I heard from Zhanji that the Baochao of Yongle Dynasty was almost cheaper than paper?"

Li Zhongfu nodded: "According to historical records, it was like this. When it came to Jiajing Dynasty, Baochao was directly abolished by the court."

"It's Jiajing again. You mentioned this emperor before. Is he famous?"

"He is quite famous. After all, among all the weird emperors in the Ming Dynasty, he is the weirdest one."

Zhu Yuanzhang:...

After sorting out his mood, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "How could this be? We established the Baochao system for the good of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, copper, silver and gold were scarce in the Ming Dynasty, and private transactions were frequent, so there was not enough money. , if there is no treasure note, then we can only barter. "

"You are for the Ming Dynasty, but you and your ministers have never understood the relationship between economy and currency."

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head: "Please help me, Doctor Li."

Although Li Zhongfu is not a professional, he is from the future and has read countless historical novels, so he understands a little: "The so-called economy can be roughly divided into macro and micro.

Microeconomics refers to the livelihood of an industry or even a street or a specific person, whether the goods are selling well, how to adjust next year, and so on.

The macro is much more complicated. Take houses and bricklayers as an example. If there are a large number of bricklayers in the Ming Dynasty, they have no other way to make a living except their skills.

If there are not many houses that need them to build, they will be unemployed, and it will be serious. In serious cases, the whole family may starve to death. Some people may be desperate and commit crimes, resulting in dire consequences.

Therefore, the court must try to come up with more housing construction quotas while meeting their food and other needs. This is a concept with a wide coverage, huge impact, and can only be coordinated by the court.

As for currency, it is like the score given by the teacher after the student finishes the test paper. The more correct answers, the higher the score.

In other words, in theory, the greater the value a person creates, the more money he should have. If the harder he works, the poorer he becomes, it must be abnormal.

For example, a worker can earn 80 coins for his boss a day. The boss gives him 40 coins as wages, and the remaining 40 coins are kept by the boss himself, either for living or as capital. At the end of the month, if the worker does not rest for a day, he should have 1,200 coins.

If the boss has multiple workers under him, he can earn more money, which is normal. After all, although he does not work hard, he has to pay the capital and worry about various things, and there is a risk of bankruptcy, which is different from the workers who only pay time. However, if he only pays the workers 10 or 20 coins, it is exploitation and oppression.

The relationship between economic and monetary changes can also be divided into two types, namely inflation and deflation.

Inflation means that under certain supply and demand conditions, there is too much money in the market, resulting in high prices of goods.

In this way, the poor people will be able to buy much less.

Suppose a vegetable grower sold 1,000 cabbages ten years ago, each for two coins, and earned a total of 2,000 coins.

Ten years later, he stopped selling vegetables and caught up with inflation. He needed 20 coins to buy a cabbage, and 2,000 coins could only buy 100 cabbages. Excluding the factors of different buying and selling prices, he still lost money.

Deflation is when there is a certain supply and demand, and the amount of money in the market decreases, causing the price of goods to fall.

In this way, the poor people will definitely not be able to sell some things at a good price, and they are forced to exchange goods for goods, which is very inconvenient.

For ordinary people, it is most ideal to make more money in the same time and then trade at a relatively stable price, which means that the same effort can get more returns.

You may be thinking, how can you get more returns with the same effort if you are still the same person with limited ability?

Let me give you an example. Take farming as an example. If the amount is not too exaggerated, the time spent by a person planting more or less fields is actually not much different, and when it comes to harvest, even if there is only one more acre of land, hundreds of kilograms of grain can be produced.

For a country, especially a newly built country, even if the territory is constant, it stands to reason that the gross national product will gradually increase until it reaches a peak that is difficult to break through.

Because as the country stabilizes, various casualties will graduallyThe number of newborns will gradually increase, and all walks of life will develop. It may be a small increase at the micro level, but it is an astonishing number when it comes to the macro level. "

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others felt as if their eyes were opened.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and chuckled: "The example of farming is a good one. We have been reducing taxes and levies over the years, encouraging land reclamation and farming, isn't it to strengthen the national strength?"

Zhu Biao rolled his eyes: "Doctor Li, although we didn't understand many of the reasons you said before, or even didn't realize it at all, many aspects have already been doing it in behavior.

Take Baochao as an example. In the early Ming Dynasty, which was gradually developing, various transactions soared, and money was certain, deflation was certain. Didn't the Baochao issued by my father just curb deflation?"
