The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 581 Annan's Rebellion!

Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace are separated by a wall.

In terms of location, Kunning Palace is equivalent to the backyard of Qianqing Palace.

The Kunning Palace does not have its own gate, so if you want to bypass the Qianqing Palace, you can only walk from the side.

Apparently, the movement of Zhang Bo and others was not small.

In fact, whether it is Qianqing Palace or Kunning Palace, it is not like the film and television of later generations, it is very quiet at night, and almost no one can be seen.

In fact, there are dozens of eunuchs and court ladies on duty every day in the palace.

Even in the bedroom where Zhu Ying lived, there would be at least six court ladies and eunuchs waiting in the outer room at any time.

I have to wait quietly in the room all night.

This is for the convenience of taking care of Zhu Ying when she wakes up at night.

In a quiet environment, you only need to yell softly, and someone will come to hold the lamp immediately.

They waited in the outer room in this quiet night, and they were not allowed to make any noise, and they had to be vigilant all the time.

It's nonsense that the kind of assassin who jumps out in the film and television of later generations can still lurk in the palace.

Even the slightest sound will cause alertness, not to mention waiting with full attention all the time.

Big eunuchs like Liu He and Guo Zhong.

It also needs night watch.

However, they don't need to wait all night, they usually have their own hut, and they can sleep after His Majesty and His Highness the Grandson fall asleep.

If there is anything, the little officials will notify them immediately.

Like an eunuch who is on duty at night in the house, it seems that this job is very tiring, but this is already the dream of most eunuchs.

First of all, after they are on duty at night, they can sleep until the shift is changed.

Life in the court can be very comfortable as long as you are a little smarter and more general.

Besides, as someone close to His Majesty or His Highness the Grandson, ordinary eunuchs would be afraid.

Even the middle prisoner and the young prisoner would treat them with a bit of politeness.

As you get older, you sleep much shallower after all, and you may wake up with a little movement.

And the eunuch on duty had already been interrogated when Zhang Bo and others passed by.

Knowing that Zhang Bo came here specially from Jiangnan, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became interested, so he got up and came to see the situation.

"It's the old servant's fault that he disturbed His Majesty's rest so late at night."

Hearing His Majesty's words, Zhang Bo quickly fell to his knees and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't care about these things, and asked: "What kind of business is it so late at night, let us listen to it."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Zhu Ying's mouth.

Uncle Zhang immediately understood, and immediately bowed again: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the old servant rushed back to the capital all night, and entered the palace at this time because he couldn't bear the joy in his heart."

"It's just because the amount is too huge, the old slave has not dared to close his eyes for several days, for fear of any delay."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's curiosity has been completely raised.

Naturally, Uncle Zhang would not intentionally try to whet His Majesty's appetite on this point, wouldn't this be his own death.

Immediately continued: "Half a month ago, because the Jiangnan area called for the establishment of an employment guild, the old slave was ordered by His Royal Highness to rush to the Jiangnan area to prepare for this matter."

"According to His Majesty's instructions, when the old slave chose the location of the guild, he specially set up an auction to auction the shares of the employment guild in the Jiangnan area."

"The auction ended the day before yesterday. Since the end, the old slave dared not rest. I want this good news, so I will inform His Highness Taisun and His Majesty as soon as possible."

At this moment, Zhu Ying, who was next to him, handed over the account book in his hand and said, "This is the account book."

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood.

It may be that Dasun made another fortune in Jiangnan. He has long been familiar with such things.

While opening the account book to check, he casually asked, "How many treasures have been recorded in this time?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang subconsciously glanced at Zhu Ying.

Zhu Ying nodded slightly.

Only then did Uncle Zhang reply: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the total is more than 18 guanbao banknotes."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said, "That's not bad, 18?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized something was wrong.

Billion is a unit of counting that only later generations have.

When the earliest [-] million was used to count, it was roughly against the number of [-].

In Daming at this time, a million is a billion.

It's just that in terms of pronunciation, when it is said Wanwan, it is not so obvious because it is repeated.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang thought he had heard wrong.

It's just that I feel in my heart that if it's only 18 treasures, it's worth the anxiety of the confidants around the eldest grandson.

so inferred.

Most likely 18 million?
18 million!
What concept is this.

From the construction of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the taxes paid in the past 28 years have not been half of this amount.

Even if you have heard it, you have realized that it is 18 billion Daming treasure notes.

Zhu Yuanzhang still couldn't believe it.

After a slight pause, he asked; "Is it 18?"

Zhang Bodao: "Report to Your Majesty, it is 18."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "18 million?"

Zhang Bo: "18 million!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt his heart beating wildly, and it was slightly difficult to breathe.

He took a deep breath and felt much more comfortable.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying hurried over to support the old man.

After Zhu Yuanzhang slowed down, he turned his head to look at Dasun, and asked again: "18 treasures?"

Zhu Ying nodded affirmatively again: "18 Guanbao notes!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang received an affirmative reply, his mind immediately went blank.

Then he waved to Liu He.

Liu He has been with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, so he naturally understands the meaning of this.

Hastily moved a chair for His Majesty to sit on.

After sitting down, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like he was dreaming, especially at three or four in the morning.

He still asked in disbelief: "I really didn't lie to us, let me make it clear to you first, if you lie to us, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Zhu Ying said from the side; "Grandpa, the account book is in your hands, and there are detailed numbers and overall plans on it."

After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly read it, and Liu He also hurried over to hold the lamp, so that His Majesty can check it.

Under the dim light, the handwriting on the ledger was clear.

The He Fang family, how many shares were auctioned, how much money was paid, and there will be notes in the follow-up, what is used to deduct, how much is equivalent to treasure banknotes, and the name of the appraiser.

One should be clear.

At the end, there is a long row of numbers written in red pen.

18 and 750, [-]!

Just the tail at the back alone has more than 700 million guan, which is very close to the taxation of the Ming Dynasty for a year after Zhu Ying entered the court.

White paper and red letters are the most clear.

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent for a long time.

half an hour.

"Hahahahaha!!!!!!"

"Hahahahaha!!!!!!"

In the palace in the middle of the night, Zhu Yuanzhang's maniacal laughter came from the peak.

18 million! ! !

This is a possibility that Zhu Yuanzhang never dreamed of.

How important this money is to the entire Ming Dynasty.

It can no longer be summed up in a few words.

This is like winning the first prize in the lottery in later generations, which is equivalent to getting rich overnight.

The lottery is rich for individuals, but the 18 billion treasure banknotes are rich for the entire Ming Dynasty.

In fact, from childhood to adulthood, Zhu Yuanzhang's life has always been very tight.

Even with the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the land of China at this time has long been riddled with holes because of the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

From the early Ming Dynasty until the first two years, even the salaries of officials were always in arrears.

Some honest officials may not even have a full meal for several days.

This is also the reason why corrupt officials have been killed one crop after another.

The expenditure of the palace itself is not said to be very rich and liberal.

It wasn't until Zhu Ying's entry that it gradually became more abundant.

And tonight, it was really a huge surprise.

"Da grandson, our great grandson, really great grandson, we really didn't love you for nothing."

"18 Baochai, our Great Ming's Guozuo, how many years will this last, hahaha!!!"

"It is said that the Song Dynasty has a lot of money, but does he have as much money as we do? In just half a month, there are 18 million guan!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang is now in an extremely excited mood, and when he speaks, he can't help trembling a little.

At any rate, it was Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, who was sitting on thousands of miles of land, but at this moment, he felt a kind of joy like a child getting a toy.

Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief at the side, he was really afraid that the old man would not be able to accept it all of a sudden, and would be screwed over.

The main reason is that this thing is indeed a bit too shocking.

18 is really a lot.

In today's world, let alone 18 billion, even [-] million, it can be shocking.

At first glance, it seems to be a bit exaggerated.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration.

It's just that the kings of the past dynasties rarely thought about business, or really knew how to do it.

Zhu Ying, this can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow.

After all, in later generations, this thing can play tricks for you.

This night, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't sleep.

Who can fall asleep?

I kept chatting with Zhu Ying until dawn.

This money is extremely crucial to the whole of Ming Dynasty, which means that in many respects, they finally don't have to tie their hands and feet, and can let go of their hands.

Of course, things like this are directly included in the internal funds, and there is no need to spread them around.

Zhu Ying's long-prepared work can also be started.

The first thing to do is to set up the Daming Royal Bank.

In the past, the precious banknotes printed in the palace were only issued and not recycled.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, there is no reserve fund.

Zhu Ying is very clear that at this point, it is very difficult to carry on for a long time. The quality of the treasure banknotes is good, but there will always be various accidents. If they are not recycled, there will be a depreciation.

To a large extent, this will affect the entire credit system.

In addition, the circulation of the treasure banknote itself led to constant depreciation. Even if Zhu Ying took many rescue measures, it is still very difficult to make the Daming treasure banknote exchange for one tael of silver all the time.

The main reason is that so much has been used in the past, and now Daming is also doing infrastructure construction everywhere, and there are many places to spend money.

It can only be slowed down first.

Now that the 18 billion Daming Treasure Banknotes are in hand, of course these scruples are gone.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Ying directly announced that all provinces must open a Daming Royal Bank.

In addition to deposit and withdrawal, it lies in the recovery of treasure notes.

This is an announcement, not a discussion, and civil servants have no right to refute.

At the same time, this matter will be published in the Daming Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, so that more people can know about this situation.

It is not difficult to imagine that when the Daming Royal Banks in all provinces are opened, the credit value of this Daming banknote will inevitably rise extremely high.

The exchange rate for silver will continue to rise.

If there are no other accidents, within two years, the treasure notes will become the same amount of silver.

As long as the imperial court, which has the right to publish, does not commit suicide indiscriminately, there will be no major changes in the situation.

And this money, Zhu Ying's main development direction, lies in the industrial infrastructure system of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The development of industry is the main trend in the next millennium. Whoever can walk ahead of this will have the right to speak in the world.

For the current Ming Dynasty, it is actually very difficult to directly expand the territory of its rule.

Doesn't Zhu Ying want to send hundreds of thousands of troops to carry out a sweep everywhere?

It's not that you can't, it's that you can't.

The limit of power is distance.

When the distance is too far away, even though that area belongs to Daming in name, in fact it cannot be controlled at all.

So at this time, the usefulness of the princes and grandchildren of Daming is fully reflected.

For example, in the current Wa Kingdom, in fact, Da Ming didn't have to worry about management at all. The situation of the people of the Wa Kingdom was also left to Zhu Yan, Zhu Yu, and Zhu Gaochi to deal with.

Whether it's good or bad, it won't affect Da Ming anyway.

In fact, Daming's enlightenment work has been going on continuously.

Enlightenment itself is a subtle influence.

It cannot be completed in a year or two.

The pull of this time is usually at least 20 years. When the new generation replaces the old generation as the main force, the impact of enlightenment is obvious.

In the current Daming, can there be anyone who is not open-eyed and dares to provoke?

Zhu Ying is very confident.

However, this slap in the face came quickly.

Annan reversed!

"Why did Annan post it?"

When I first received the news, not only Zhu Ying, but even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand.

Here, Chen Muyue only came back from Annan a few months ago, and as far as the information is concerned, it can be regarded as a sufficient deterrent to Annan.

Furthermore, in the Annan area, there are still [-] elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if there is a change, it should be able to be suppressed quickly.

According to the information passed on from now on, Liu Sheng, who is the supervisor of the army, is currently under house arrest.

Not only Liu Sheng, but also Zhao Yuanhong, Zhao Xiucai who had been lurking for a long time, and core members such as Li Xiucai were all wiped out.

Along with them, there is also the royal family of Annan.

Here in Daming, only Wei Xing, the commander of Annan's army, has always been stable in the rear.

It's just that Wei Xing didn't dare to act rashly under the sway of rats.

No one knows the relationship between Liu Jianjun and His Highness the Grandson, even if the Great Moon Concubine came to Annan, she would be polite.

If something goes wrong, he, the general, is at the end of his game.
