I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

"Your Highness, our bank and currency conversion plan may fail, and the price is too great!"

The Forbidden City warm pavilion.

Xia Yuanji, who took the lead to move over with most of the household staff, looked at Zhu Zhangui with a bitter face.

Sitting on the brocade couch, Zhu Zhangui frowned and flipped through the memorial written by Xia Yuanji.

Since the 14th year of Yongle, the Ministry of Households has started a plan to open banks across the country, and plans to bring back the value of treasure banknotes, completely cut off private gold and silver transactions, and use treasure banknotes to stabilize the currency.

But later, Zhu Zhangui felt that the treasure banknotes were too ugly, so he gave up without any publicity value, and decided to take back the treasure banknotes and replace them with new propaganda-worthy currencies.

He planned to replace it with Lao Zhu, the old man, and the old man and his avatar. This would not only be promotional, but also satisfy the old man's unorthodox inferiority complex.

At the beginning of this year, Daming Bank started to operate, but for more than half a year, there was not even a ghost except for depositing money at the chamber of commerce.

Ordinary people pass by the magnificent gate of the bank, thinking that any new yamen hides far away.

The Ministry of Households' propaganda is in full swing, and the common people don't even respond to what they should do.

Saving money can increase the interest rate, and the preferential loan policy is not even asked by anyone.

Zhu Zhangui helped his forehead helplessly, and he was very clear about the reason for this.It is nothing more than the reputation of the imperial court in terms of money, which has been ruined.

If you want to talk about the imperial court enlisting troops to fight wars, you may still be able to recruit people, but if you want to talk about money, oh, sorry to bother you.

"Your Highness, as for the plan you mentioned to take back the treasure notes, the minister and the people below have done some calculations and found it unreliable. If we really want to take back all the treasure notes of Daming, our household department will not say that it is bankrupt, but it will hurt our nerves." Bone!"

"In this way, our savings over the past few years will be wiped out."

"Although the common people of Ming Dynasty are rich, our court has also become poor. At that time, you will not be able to sit still in the palace anymore, and you have to go out and use your old business to make money."

Xia Yuanji made another slash.

Zhu Zhangui twitched his mouth, stared at Xia Yuanji and asked cautiously.

"how many?"

Xia Yuanji spread his hands.

"do not know!"

Zhu Zhangui stared.

"Your household department doesn't even know how much money was issued?"

Xia Yuanji's face was full of innocence.

"This thing, if you lack money, you will print it. God knows how many have been issued."

Zhu Zhangui opened his mouth, thinking of roaring at Lao Zhu's spirit seat in the ancestral temple, pulling the old man who was far away in the grassland back, and giving him a hard blow.

Nima, he is cheating his father, you are cheating grandchildren, and you are still the kind of cheating to death.

If you don't understand the economic system, don't mess around. It's fun for you to print indiscriminately. I fucking want to pull the economic system back.

Zhu Zhangui scratched his head irritably.

"What is the market value of the treasure banknote now?"

"It has always been 120 Wen, and this is the price of a few days ago, and now it may be dropped again!"

"It's gone again. Isn't the court rich? How can it still be gone?" Zhu Zhangui was a little puzzled.

"When I went to fight Alutai, the emperor printed another batch, saying that it was to subsidize the soldiers' meals. There must be 40 coins!" …

"puff!"

Zhu Zhangui clutched his chest and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.Ignoring the wound he had just healed, he slapped the table vigorously and roared angrily.

"What did you, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, do? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to print money? I am desperately trying to bring the system back, but you guys are doing my best. You also want to stabilize the financial system. You guys are thinking about farts. With your attitude of doing things, I’m still too busy to worry about what a fart, and everyone can mess it up together!"

"Uh, Your Highness, please calm down, pay attention to the wound, pay attention to the wound!"

Xia Yuanji hurried forward, helped Zhu Zhangui to sit up.

When he came, the crown princess had explained that the emperor's grandson's wound had just healed a bit, so he couldn't be too excited and make big moves, otherwise he would be the only one to ask if the wound collapsed.

Lying on the brocade couch, Zhu Zhangui clutched his abdominal wound and gasped for air.

He reached out and pointed at Xia Yuanji, who was supporting him, "Xia, if you don't give me an explanation, we will never end. If you initiate a proposal, you, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, don't do it, go to slaves to count ants Let's play!"

Xia Yuanji wants to cry but has no tears.

Can he be blamed? At that time, he almost bumped his head against the pillar, but the problem is that the emperor didn't listen.

What else to say, anyway, there are so many releases, so it's not bad at 01:30.

Issuing a little more can save the country some money, and it can also reduce the pressure on my grandson.

"Your Highness, it's not that you don't understand the emperor. In our Daming, apart from the empress who has died, the emperor will only listen to your words."

"When the emperor gave the order, the minister and the crown prince had to wipe their necks to force the emperor to reduce the original 100 million to 40. We really did our best!"

Zhu Zhangui panted heavily.

Although he wanted to scold his mother with hatred in his heart, he could understand the hardships of Xia Yuanji and others.

The old man, don't look at it, as long as he puts forward an opinion, the old man will accept it.In fact, like Lao Zhu, he is a very stubborn person. It is really difficult for ordinary people to change the thoughts and decisions in his heart.

As for your own family, all right, Dad.

Before I came back, my father's words were like farting to the old man, except for listening, it was useless at all.

Not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Unless it is a really useful opinion, the old man will not even pay attention to it. If the old man is pushed into a hurry, he will even stab someone with a knife.

He took a few deep breaths to calm the pain from the wound.

Zhu Zhangui pointed at Xia Yuanji and roared angrily.

"Go and take away all the money-printing equipment in the Ministry of Finance. Without my order, whoever dares to print another copy will be killed."

"Tell everyone, what I said, the old man's edict is useless!"

"Okay, okay... Calm down, I will go and collect the equipment myself, and I will never let them print another one!"

When Xia Yuanji left the Nuan Pavilion in a hurry, Zhu Zhangui lay on the brocade couch and looked at the beams, sighing silently.

"Nimma, you're cheating!"

Yongle December 16th.

The imperial court announced an imperial edict that shocked everyone.

That is to say, from August 16 onwards, the Ming court will no longer issue treasure banknotes. All banknotes marked with the year after this year are all counterfeit banknotes. …

Any private organization or individual shall not manufacture, print, distribute, manufacture and trade currency or items, which violates the nine ethnic groups.

The emperor's seal and the seals of various departments of the imperial court are also stamped below.

As soon as this decree came out, the civil and official circles all breathed a sigh of relief.

The treasure notes of the imperial court are really deceiving people. What is even more speechless is that all the imperial court salaries are paid with precious notes, and it is also used to subsidize wounded soldiers and purchase folk goods.

Treasure banknotes are not equal to their own value at all, so that those who get these treasure banknotes will have misery.

Spend it, you can't spend it.

Many places do not accept treasure notes, including the chamber of commerce of the emperor's grandson.

This makes those who have precious money, have nothing to do with their wealth, but end up starving to death, how sad and deplorable.

Now that the imperial court does not print precious banknotes, it means that there will be no more precious banknotes in the future. As time goes by, the value of those printed in the past may slowly increase, so that the pieces of torn paper in their hands can also be worth Some money.

And there are those who are smart enough to understand that this is the imperial court, and it may be necessary to replace the treasure notes with a new currency.

In order to maintain its credibility and its status in the hearts of the people, the imperial court will definitely take back the precious banknotes that flow among the people.

In this way, there will be fewer and fewer treasure banknotes, and more and more valuable, even exceeding the original value.

Soon, not long after this government decree was issued, some people secretly collected treasure banknotes, intending to keep them as an investment and make a fortune in the future.

But there are not a few such smart people. With the acquisition of these people, the value of the treasure banknotes will increase little by little.

In just one month, the price of consistent treasure banknotes in the northern region has increased to 200 Wen.

Originally, everyone thought that the price would remain stable and would not fluctuate too much.

After all, those who collect banknotes are just for collection and have no other ideas.

But with another order from the imperial court, the price directly doubled to 400 renminbi.

"Your Highness, will it be too wicked for us to do this?"

Zhu Zhangui, whose wound had recovered a little, was sitting in a wheelchair, and Xia Yuanji pushed forward behind him, watching the imperial garden of the Forbidden City.

Looking at his children playing in the sea of ​​flowers, Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly.

"What kind of wickedness is this? I have already issued an order. Treasure banknotes are the face of the court. Private people are not allowed to buy or sell them. They want to make a profit and buy and sell secretly. It's my fault!"

The corner of Xia Yuanji's mouth twitched.

When the folks started to collect treasure banknotes, Zhu Zhangui added an order.

Treasure banknotes are the currency of the imperial court. Except for the Daming Bank, private individuals are not allowed to buy or sell them. Violators will be severely punished. In the end, they also reiterated the ban on silver made by Lao Zhu.

This decree made people who originally wanted to collect some precious banknotes as treasures have other ideas in their minds.The number of treasure notes purchased gradually increased, and even in order to collect more treasure notes, many people secretly raised their prices to compete.At this time, the price of the precious banknotes, which had been slowly rising in price, suddenly doubled.

Isn't it good to have a saying?

The ways to make quick money are written in the law.

This decree added by the imperial court made those people guess that the imperial court intends to recycle the precious banknotes, and the price will definitely be higher than the market price. …

If they buy a batch, when the court recycles it, they may be able to make a fortune and squeeze out a fortune from the court.

They have heard that the imperial court has made a lot of money from overseas in recent years.

Although some were distributed to those investors, the bulk was still on the side of the imperial court.

It is such a pity that so much money is lying in the household department of the imperial court. The money should be lying in the cellar of one's own house, sleeping peacefully with his treasures.

Jinling Palace Shangshufang.

"Brother-in-law!"

A flattering shout sounded.

Zhu Pangpang, who was approving the memorial, trembled and looked up at the door.I saw my brother-in-law lying at the door, looking at him with a flattering expression.

Seeing this expression, Zhu Pangpang subconsciously covered his pockets.

This kid wants to exploit his own money.

"Why are you here? You're not here to borrow money again. Let me tell you, I don't have any money. When your sister left, she took all the money with her!"

Zhu Pangpang immediately stopped his brother-in-law from borrowing money.

Zhang Kejian walked in slyly, looking around at the surrounding environment.

In his capacity, it was his first time visiting a secret place like the Shang Study Room, and he was very curious.

"Don't look blindly, if you have something to say, hurry up, I'm still busy!"

Seeing this guy's mischievous eyebrows, Zhu Pangpang felt a shock in his heart.

My daughter-in-law looks so good-looking, why does my brother-in-law look so wretched, it is really hard to believe that they are siblings.

Zhang Kejian didn't care either, and walked forward with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, come here to say hello to you!"

Zhu Pangpang rolled his eyes.

Speaking is better than singing, and you can also say hello to yourself, why haven't I seen you so polite before?It seems that every time I come to the palace, I come to ask for money.

"Okay, I'm in good health. If you have something to say, hurry up and leave. I don't see you in better health." Waving his hands in disgust, Zhu Pangpang urged again and again.

Zhang Kejian didn't care, he sat down on the small stool brought by the eunuch, looked at Zhu Pangpang and asked expectantly.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that the imperial court intends to recycle the treasure notes!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was raising his pen to criticize the memorial, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

My son, this uncle is really accurate.

Zhu Pangpang already knew about his son's plan, and it was planned by Zhu Zhangui and Xia Yuanji in the north, and it went very smoothly.

But the effect on the south side is slight.

The main reason is that the main power of the imperial court is still in the south. Many big families have people who are officials in the imperial court and have the ability to distinguish certain things.

Those big households in the north are collecting treasures and banknotes very quickly, but there are only small waves in the south.

Zhu Zhangui was not satisfied with this result.

Most of the treasures are in the south, and there is no movement in the south. Even if the north is successful, it will not achieve the result he wants.

So he wrote a letter to Zhu Pangpang, asking Zhu Pangpang to make a plan, and let the south also carry out.

In order to make it easier for Zhu Pangpang to start, Zhu Zhangui also gave his father an idea, which is to let Zhang Kejian, who is known as the star of Zhang broom, provoke this incident.

If it is to cheat ordinary people, Zhu Pangpang will definitely not agree. …

But Zhu Pangpang felt no pressure to cheat his brother-in-law and those greedy big families.

What's more, this method is still beneficial to the people, so how could he not agree.

So on the day he received the letter, he asked Ji Gang to come and ask the No. 18 spy who was arranged at his brother-in-law's house to release some gossip.

As for why it is number 18.

That's because the first 17 people were all injured or disabled by the broom star attribute picked up by Zhang Ke, and the number 18 was just sent in last month.

For this quota, there was almost a fight in Jinyiwei at that time.

It's not that they want to grab this spot, but they all want to push it to the other party. In the end, a thousand households couldn't stand it anymore, so they directly chose to draw lots, and an unlucky guy was drawn.

There is no way, Zhang Ke's reputation as a broom star is too great, and people who are not hard-fated can't bear it.

Looking up at Zhang Kejian vigilantly, Zhu Pangpang said with a straight face.

"Why are you asking this? This is an imperial court affair. You have neither an official nor a job. Discussing the government indiscriminately, be careful I will beat you!"

Zhang Kejian was not afraid either, he said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Don't you have a good saying! Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. Let me know about the imperial court's policies, so that I can support the imperial court's development!"

Zhu Pangpang curled his lips.

"Just you? Come on! As far as your bad luck is concerned, in Zhan Gui's words, if you stay at home and don't go out, you are making the greatest contribution to the court."

Speaking of this, Zhu Pangpang seemed to have thought of something, and quickly ordered to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and prepare some peach branch water, and scatter all the Shangshufang to get rid of bad luck!"

Zhang Kejian's expression froze for a moment with a hippie smile, feeling depressed in his heart.

Now I don't feel welcome wherever I go, even if I go to Hualou, the old bustard will see him as if he saw the God of Plague.

The reason for all this was caused by my lovely nephew who said that my uncle was the reincarnation of a broom star.

"That's not necessary, brother-in-law. That's all my nephew's nonsense. I'm not the reincarnation of the bastard. If I were the reincarnation of the bastard, would my sister still marry into the palace and become the princess?"

Zhu Pangpang glanced at him, and shook his head under Zhang Kejian's expectant expression.

"It's hard to say. If your sister can marry me, it means that her luck is extremely good, and it suppresses your bad luck."

"Look."

Zhu Pangpang snapped his fingers.

"Before your sister and I got married, nothing happened in your family!"

"But since your sister entered the palace, apart from your sister's house, none of your houses have collapsed!"

"And you're in business. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talk about the few times my son helped you. You didn't lose everything before you sold a thing!"

"and also……"

Seeing that Zhu Pangpang became more and more excited as he talked, and the little eunuchs around him also stared, as if they were listening to some fairy tale, Zhang Kejian quickly waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Pangpang's words.

"Let's talk about these things slowly later, brother-in-law, just tell me if the imperial court plans to take back the treasure notes!"

Zhu Pangpang withdrew his hand, looked at Zhang Kejian for a while, and under his expectant gaze, raised his hand to drive away the servants in the Shang's study. …

"What, do you have an idea?"

Zhang Kejian looked excited.

"Ghosts have no idea!"

"Although the dividends given by my nephew's chamber of commerce are enough for the family to eat and drink, but you also know that I am used to being extravagant, and your younger siblings also spend money. There are so many good things in the nephew's chamber of commerce, and the little money goes home. The month is over."

"If I don't want to find a way to earn some money, the family will have a hard time at the end of the year!"

Zhu Pangpang stared at it for a while, and under Zhang Kejian's expectation, he muttered.

"Actually, I don't know much about it!"

"How is it possible? You are the crown prince. Apart from the emperor, you are the biggest in the entire imperial court. There is something you don't know about." Zhang Kejian was a little incredulous. All alone.

Zhu Pangpang spread his hands helplessly, "But that's the truth! As for what you said is the biggest thing for the court other than the emperor, that's even more impossible."

"Who doesn't know the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty now, I, the prince, do odd jobs, and the old man above and my son are really in charge!"

"You really don't know?" Zhang Kejian was still a little suspicious.

"It's not that I don't know, but that I don't know much."

Zhang Kejian's eyes lit up.

"Then tell me what you know!"

Zhu Pangpang hesitated, "You can say it, but I can't guarantee it's true. If you suffer later, don't blame me."

Zhang Kejian quickly stretched out his hand, "I swear, you said you said, I will share half of the money you make, and if you want to lose it, I will count myself as a bastard!"

Zhu Pangpang waved his hand, "Whether you make money or not is your business. I don't need money, and I don't want your money. Let me tell you, just listen, you can tell if it's true or not!"

"Shh!"

Zhang Kejian took out his small notebook and got ready to take notes.

The corner of Zhu Pangpang's mouth twitched again, he reached out and took Zhang Kejian's notebook and threw it aside.

"If you write it down, I won't say it!"

Zhang Kejian nodded repeatedly as if he understood.

"Your nephew is responsible for this matter. I heard that they do have the idea of ​​taking back the treasure notes, and then issue new currency, and the new currency is linked to silver."

Zhang Kejian is not interested in the new currency, he just wants to know whether the banknotes can make money.

"Brother-in-law, aren't you very busy, just get to the point, I can understand you!"

Zhu Pangpang looked left and right, and whispered in Zhang Kejian's ear.

"I heard, I just heard!"

Zhu Pangpang reiterated again, he just heard.

Zhang Kejian nodded.

"Originally, they wanted to abolish the treasure banknotes directly, but they considered the face of the court and the possibility of losing the hearts of the people. So they decided to take back the treasure banknotes at a price that was [-]% more than the market price. If the actual price is too low, in order not to Let the common people lose too much, they set a minimum price for recycling, which is two guan in exchange for one tael."

"I heard that the Ministry of Finance has already prepared money. The plan will start in October, and we will try to get back all the banknotes before the end of the year, and then release new currency next year!"

Zhu Pangpang didn't hear anything else about Zhang Kejian. He only heard that the imperial court would take back the issued treasure notes at a price that was [-]% more than the market price.

Isn't this damn rich!
The price of precious banknotes in Beiping fluctuated, but the price in Jinling remained the same.

If I collect a sum of money at this time, when the court recycles it, even if it is not reclaimed at the original value, it will be reclaimed at half the price, which will be a huge profit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kejian couldn't stay still anymore, and just after Zhu Pangpang finished speaking, he hastily cupped his hands.

"Brother-in-law, I won't bother you because you are busy with government affairs. I will go back first, and I will come to see you when I have time!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked out the door.

"Hahaha... get rich, get rich, and I, Zhang Kejian, will rise to prominence!"

Listening to the laughter and shouting outside, Zhu Pangpang shook his head with a smile, and went back to continue processing the memorial.

As for the success of this plan, Zhu Pangpang felt that it was very likely to be successful.

There is no reason for Zhang Kejian not to be successful, and with the help of Jin Yiwei, the plan will definitely end perfectly.
