Chapter 136 Difficult?then don't do it
"Even if it is to reward some gold, silver and jewelry."

In the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess looked at the slightly old set of armor in front of her and complained, "What's the use of this thing?"

"What do you know, a woman?"

Zhu Gaochi hugged the white-haired general and hummed, "This is what the old man used."

"So what." The princess stepped forward and took the dog away. "Zhanji got so much money for the old man, so why not give him an armor?"

"Hi."

Zhu Gaochi reached out to take the teacup on the case table, "This is the old man's value. I don't understand it to you. You will know when you have time to see the faces of the second and third children."

He was quite happy, after all, it was a good thing for him.

"Where's Zhanji?"

"Going to the barracks."

"What are you busy with all day long?" The princess was so angry, "I don't know how to get my son out first, I'm waiting to hold my grandson!"

"He is just like the old man." Zhu Gaochi sighed again and again, "He only thinks about big things."

After finishing his military knowledge study, Li Yunze walked out of the barracks.

When he was about to have lunch, he saw a convoy of dozens of carts entering the camp.

Uncover the tarpaulin, unload the box and open it, all inside are brand new armor or fish scale armor.

These heavy armors weighing tens of catties are the standard armor equipment of Ming Dynasty, and their defense power is amazing.

The era of cold weapons has developed to this point, and armor has evolved into many types.

The most brilliant among them is naturally the famous phoenix wing armor, which is the kind that Zhu Di rewarded Li Yunze.

The pocket of the phoenix-winged armor has a gorgeous phoenix-winged forehead, and the body armor is a large armor with a classic structure, that is, the mountain wen fish scale armor or the willow leaf pattern armor.

On the shoulders, there are usually two Yazi heads.

Because Yazi is bloodthirsty and fond of fighting, it fits the definition of ordnance very well.

It's just that this kind of phoenix wing armor can only be equipped at the general level, after all, it is expensive.

Dig further down, there are ordinary Zha Jia and fish scale armor.

Even so, this level of iron armor is usually only equipped by the elite.

Ordinary sergeants usually wear leather armor and cotton armor.

Leather armor is naturally leather, and cotton armor is of course cotton.

Zhu Yuanzhang strongly supported the cultivation of cotton, and the cotton armor has an excellent defensive effect on bows and arrows, especially the soft bows of nomads.

The so-called mandarin duck war jacket is filled with cotton.

Normal people understand that whether it is leather armor or cotton armor, they are cheap goods used as substitutes when iron armor is insufficient.

Who would use leather and cotton armor when iron armor could be used.

In the past, the national treasury was empty, and there was really no supply.

Now that Zhu Di has a large amount of money in exchange for selling national debt, the first thing he does is to add armor and equipment to the army.

In addition to armor, the food in the army has been significantly improved, and more and more mules and horses have been purchased.

As a veteran in the army, Zhu Di is very aware of this, so the first thing he does when he has money is to increase his combat effectiveness.

Li Yunze watched it for a while, then turned around and went to practice.

He feels that he is getting stronger every day, which is really a good feeling.

Back at the East Palace at night, go to Zhu Gaochi's place for a beating as usual.

But I saw Zhu Gaochi sitting with the princess and sighing.

"What's wrong?" Li Yunze asked curiously.

"The prince went to find the old man today." The princess sighed and explained, "He went to ask the old man for money, but he was scolded by the old man. The old man said, why should I give him the money I borrowed for my face? Listen Listen, what a sad thing to say."

"That's right." Li Yunze smiled. "This is indeed borrowed money for face, of course it will not be given to others easily. If you are short of money, you can borrow it yourself."

"Look at it." Zhu Gaochi pointed at Li Yunze, "This is exactly what the old man said."

He sighed, "I asked for money for the construction of the river, why should I borrow it?"

"The construction of river channels is the court's business. Of course, it is in the name of the court to borrow money."

Li Yunze gave him an idea: "We can use the name of the imperial court to issue a batch of special government bonds for river management. The time is shorter, and it can be exchanged within a year. With the imperial tax and credit guarantee, after all, there is a successful demonstration by the old man before, and the sale is less." It shouldn't be a big problem. It won't take much, right?"

"60 taels is enough." Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, "It's just that in a few days, the New Year's Day will be celebrated. New Year's Day rewards and ministers' banquet, and..."

"stop stop"

Li Yunze hastily waved his hand, "You are borrowing money, and you want to pay it back. Don't treat it as precious money, send as much money as you want. I don't know what the treasure money is like now?"

"Credit is the most important thing for this thing. With credit, you can naturally overissue in the future and borrow money year after year. But if you want to get as much as you want now, that is to kill the chicken and get the eggs. The final result can only be a treasure. Banknotes end."

He regretted it a little now, he got out the national debt ahead of time, but don't let it be smashed in the hands of big turbans who have no lower limit.

"There is only this one, the national debt for the river channel special management." Li Yunze repeatedly urged, "We must wait until this time next year before we can continue to sell, and the amount should not be large."

"Okay." Zhu Gaochi, who was obviously in good spirits, nodded with a smile, "You boy, you are really smart."

Back in his yard, Tang Mu had already been prepared there.

As soon as he went out, he met Sun Ruowei's resentful eyes.

To be honest, Sun Ruowei's appearance is really not low, and at this time the expression of "who is the beauty complaining about" really has a special charm.

But every time at this time, Li Yunze would think of the God of War in his heart.

He was really afraid that if a big rocket lifted off and called that guy out, he would be really annoyed.

There was no other way, Li Yunze could only pretend not to see him, turned around and left accompanied by Hu Shanxiang.

Sun Ruowei, who was left behind, was very sad, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

"Your Highness."

Hu Shanxiang kindly persuaded, "Sister Sun's family only thinks about His Highness, why not."

Li Yunze stopped and stared at her, "Go and comfort her, don't follow me."

Seeing the back of Li Yunze striding away, Hu Shanxiang was also saddened, completely unable to understand why Li Yunze was so cruel.

The days passed quickly, and it was the New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.

At the Great Court Meeting on this day, after the routine New Year's greetings, they should have dispersed according to the usual practice, returned to the Yamen to receive the New Year's reward, and then went back to their respective homes to settle down and wait for the evening banquet.

Then at this time when we shouldn't be talking about state affairs, Yang Rong, the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of the three Yangs, suddenly came out to ask Zhu Di to reissue the national debt, and the amount was as high as 300 million taels.

Zhu Di didn't speak, but looked at Li Yunze.

Not surprisingly, Li Yunze's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Still careless.

I thought that the bottom line of the big turbans was the scum of the late Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the big turbans of the Yongle Dynasty were all out of shape!
At any time, the court is short of money.

In order to make money, the most important point in the assessment of government performance in various places is the amount of taxes paid.

Before the banknotes were scrapped, I don’t know how many people were beating their feet and lamenting, what a good channel to get money, everyone up and down was full.

Now that the national debt comes out, these people can't hold back immediately.

This is what I want to do on this, and use it as a treasure to make a lot of money.

After all, in their view, it is the emperor and the imperial court who borrow money, and they don't need to pay it back!
Zhu Di chuckled, "What are you borrowing so much money for?"

"The main thing is to repair the river." Yang Rong responded in a deep voice, "There are also rewards from various government offices at the end of the year, next spring to deal with spring floods, and subsidies for spring farming in various places."

"The household department is out of money?" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, "Why do you have to borrow money to do this?"

"Your Majesty." Zhu Gaochi hurriedly went out to salute, "I have to pay all levels of salaries and rewards for the remaining silver of the court, to maintain the operation of the government, and to prepare for emergencies."

"It's all nonsense." Zhu Di's complexion gradually sank. "When there was no national debt to borrow money, you couldn't do things without seeing it. Now that you have national debt, everyone wants to borrow money to live."

These little tricks couldn't hide from Zhu Di's eyes, he just didn't bother to care about it.

After a while, his eyes turned to Li Yunze, "Zhan Ji, tell me."

"Your Majesty." Li Yunze stepped forward to salute, and said bluntly, "Yang Rong will be executed!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were even more gleeful and snickered.

You must know that Yang Rong is Zhu Gaochi's man, now it's like beating yourself, how can you not be happy.

Yang Rong was expressionless, as if the person Li Yunze was talking about was not himself.

Zhu Gao stomped his feet angrily, but he couldn't say much in front of Zhu Di.

After the uproar gradually subsided, Zhu Di asked "Why?"

"Because he deceived the king."

Not surprisingly, there was another uproar.

This time, Yang Rong couldn't bear it any longer, and turned around to salute Li Yunze, "Dare to ask Your Highness, how can I deceive you?"

"Your Majesty is the only one who can borrow money from the people of the world." Li Yunze didn't show any face. "You guys intend to use the name of Your Majesty to amass wealth. If it's not deceiving you, what is it?"

"The national debt is guaranteed by your majesty's face and reputation. How can anyone use your majesty's face and reputation? You spend the borrowed money, and let your majesty pay back when you pay it back. He looks ugly, but he thinks beautiful .”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of laughter.

There is no doubt that this is a personal attack.

Zhu Gaochi, who stomped his feet angrily, couldn't bear to shout, "Shut up."

"You just shut up!" Zhu Di yelled, "Did he say something wrong? Borrowing money in my name to spend it, will you pay it back when it's time to pay it back?"

After reprimanding Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di looked at Li Yunze again, "Tell me, what should you do with such an embarrassing thing."

"Hard to do? Then don't do it."

Li Yunze directly flipped the table, "All the right to issue national debt belongs to His Majesty. No national debt can be issued without an imperial decree, and anyone who violates it will be deceiving the emperor!"

This is directly smashing the pot. Before leaving a line for Zhu Gaochi, now it is directly blocked so that no one can reach out.

It was agreed that the maximum amount would be 60 taels, and it was a special fund for river management.

Now it has jumped directly to 300 million taels, and there are so many things.

Once this delicious hole is opened, with the means of the big turbans, it will inevitably poke a huge hole.

Instead of that, just smash the pot directly, no one will get it!
