Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 332 The long-lost teaching, what is a treasure?

"I talk too much, don't mind Mr. Su!"

Queen Ma talked a lot, just like an old mother giving instructions to her children.

Su Jing hurriedly said: "Where is the empress, someone cares about me so much, I am too happy to be happy."

Su Jing has not felt this kind of patriarchal care for a long time.

Empress Ma stood purely from his point of view, helping him consider what to do and what not to do.

Su Jing felt this sincerity very clearly.

With such a queen who couldn't find any faults, it is not difficult to understand that Lao Zhu went on a killing spree after the death of Queen Ma.

Empress Ma looked at Su Jing and said: "Mr. Su, some words may not be appropriate to say now, but in the future, Biao'er will really be entrusted to you."

In Empress Ma's heart, Su Jing was Zhu Biao's last assistant minister.

"Empress, it's too early, don't rush, don't rush."

Su Jing said immediately.

While chatting here in Kunning Palace, in Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was questioning Li Shanchang carefully.

"Shanchang, that's all? Nothing else?"

Lao Zhu frowned, wanting to know more.

Li Shanchang replied: "Your Majesty, there is really nothing else. Everything is according to your instructions. Always pay attention to the situation of Duke E, and the military doctor is always ready."

Answering Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Li Shanchang was also a little surprised.

It's all happened last year, and the dust has settled, so why do you start asking again?

Didn't Chang Yuchun survived safely? It's fine!

Then, an idea flashed through Li Shanchang's mind.

"Your Majesty, could it be Uncle Renyuan..."

Li Shanchang asked Zhu Yuanzhang with a look of shock.

What happened to Chang Yuchun last time was to save Chang Yuchun's life, and after careful inquiry now, Su Jing probably predicted who might die again.

But when he got to his lips, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say it straight from the beginning, it means that he didn't want to tell himself about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang, and was not very surprised that Li Shanchang guessed the general situation.

"Shang Shan, this is a private matter I ask you, and I don't want anyone else to know about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

Li Shanchang knelt down and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will keep his mouth shut and never mention this matter."

As for who Su Jing predicted, no matter how curious Li Shanchang was, he didn't dare to ask.

"Okay, let's go down."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands.

The news I got from Li Shanchang is really too little to be of any use.

Now it seems that the only way to ask the person involved is Chang Yuchun.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Shanchang immediately turned around and retreated.

"Come on, where is Su Jing now?"

"Uncle Renyuan is still in Kunning Palace."

As soon as Li Shanchang left, Zhu Yuanzhang asked about Su Jing's whereabouts.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Young man Su Jing, is he so good at chatting?"

Although he was puzzled, Lao Zhu didn't intend to continue looking for Su Jing, and now he has to take it easy.

After about an hour, Su Jing left from Kunning Palace, and his next destination was the Prince's Mansion.

And this time when Su Jing left the palace, all the civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty knew that Su Jing had left the palace.

Since there is Su Jing leaving the palace, then naturally Su Jing will also enter the palace.

This news is quite heavy.

I don't know how many people were waiting for Su Jing to enter the palace before, but now that it has been delayed for so long, the dust has finally settled.

But what kind of errand Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for Su Jing, this is what the civil and military officials are most curious about.

The situation in the court became clearer and clearer. The Huaixi party would definitely be weakened, while the Zhedong Group probably wouldn't improve because of Yang Xian's incident.

In that case, Su Jing's entry has become a crucial part.

Everyone is waiting for the moment when Su Jing officially enters the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, and this moment seems to be getting closer.

Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Biao was also dealing with government affairs, which was specially arranged by Lao Zhu.

Zhu Biao is now sixteen, and although he has not yet held the crowning ceremony, he is considered an adult.

In order to make Zhu Biao a qualified emperor, Lao Zhu has arranged for Zhu Biao to handle some Ming government affairs.

Of course, at the beginning, there must be some less important ones.

In addition, Zhu Biao also needs to keep an eye on the things supervised by the Firearms Bureau.

"Uncle Renyuan is here!"

Following a summons, Zhu Biao got up immediately and quickly came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

"Master Su!"

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing, the excitement and joy on his face were not concealed at all.

Su Jing walked up to Zhu Biao with a smile and said, "You are the crown prince, you are 16 years old now, you can't act like a child anymore."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Yes, the students would like to follow Master Su's instruction."

The two quickly entered the mansion. Although the Prince's Mansion is not as big as the Imperial Palace, it has all the necessary things.

The Crown Prince's Mansion is also called the East Palace. The place where the Crown Prince lives is not as good as the Imperial Palace, but it is not bad either.

"Master Su, Emperor Father didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

As soon as he sat down, Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Although Su Jing was released from prison, Zhu Biao was still a little worried that something would happen. After all, his father had told him more than once that he would kill Su Jing if necessary.

Su Jing touched Zhu Biao's head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty didn't do anything to me, I'm fine."

"Really? Master Su didn't lie to me?"

Zhu Biao still couldn't believe it.

Su Jing said: "Really, don't you even believe the teacher's words? This is not okay."

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "No, it's not that the students don't believe in Master Su, it's just that they don't trust the father."

If Lao Zhu heard these words, he might vomit blood on the spot.

Good guy, my son who has worked so hard to raise him can say such chilling words.

Su Jing was also caught off guard by Zhu Biao's words, paused and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, as a prince, you are also an adult, and you have been busy with a lot of things, and there are things about learning that have fallen behind. ?”

After all, they are teachers and students, and the things they teach cannot be relaxed.

"When returning to Master Su, the students have never let up."

Zhu Biao replied very seriously: "Students have continued to study and study what Teacher Su taught."

"That's good, there is no end to learning. This is something that needs to be practiced for a lifetime. No matter when, never forget to learn."

Su Jing nodded slightly, like an earnest teacher.

No, he is a teacher now.

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, you haven't taught me for a long time, I don't know if you can teach the students something today."

Since returning from Shandong, Zhu Biao has never received serious teaching from Su Jing.

Either Su Jing has something to do, or Zhu Biao has something to do.

On the contrary, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan and Zhu Di respectively received one-day one-on-one guidance from Su Jing.

Zhu Biao really wanted to go back to the previous days of studying, although he also knew that those days would never happen again.

"of course can."

Su Jing nodded.

In this Ming Dynasty, Su Jing thought that his first identity was a businessman, and his second identity was a teacher.

Students are eager to learn, how can I as a teacher not teach?
"Thank you, Master Su!"

Zhu Biao bowed immediately, his face was full of joy.

at this time.

"Mr. Su, we also want to be together, can we?"

Zhu Xi and his younger brothers appeared in the prince's mansion together, and the princes naturally paid close attention to Su Jing's whereabouts after leaving the palace.

Knowing that the place to go was the Prince's Mansion, they rushed over immediately.

Zhu Xun, Zhu Xun, Zhu Di, and Zhu Xun were all there, their eyes full of longing.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother and fifth brother, you are all here!"

Zhu Biao looked at these younger brothers, a little surprised, but felt it was reasonable.

"Mr. Su, we didn't disturb you, did we?"

Zhu Yan said.

"Please, Mr. Su, don't reject us!"

Zhu Di said seriously.

Zhu Wei looked at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, the students also have a lot of doubts these days, and they want to ask Master Su to answer them."

Su Jing glanced over the five people in front of him, including Zhu Biao, feeling filled with emotion.

"You guys really have enough to give me face. The crown prince, King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, and King Wu are all together."

Su Jing said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then if I refuse, it's really unreasonable."

These people are all treasures of the old Zhu's family, each of them looked eagerly expectant, even though Su Jing has always been calm, at this moment he is a little swayed.

This is not when I was in Dahontang, when the teacher taught the princes.

In the prince's mansion, ordinary people really don't have the qualifications to teach the prince and other vassals.

Soon, a few people came to the prince's study, plus six people including teacher Su Jing, it is definitely impossible to squeeze into a small room.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao's study room is large enough to become Su Jing's small teaching classroom.

"Today's scene is somewhat familiar."

Su Jing said lightly, he recalled the scene of teaching at his home in Lishui County last Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's just that Su Jing didn't know their true identities at the time.

"You are all here, I don't know what to teach for a while."

Su Jing frowned, and gave Zhu Biao a lecture alone. He could do whatever he wanted, but he still had to consider the six students.

"Master Su, you can say whatever you want."

Zhu Biao said immediately.

Zhu Biao, who has not been taught by Su Jing for a long time, is not picky about what to learn now, as long as it is taught by Su Jing.

"Yes, Mr. Su, anything is fine."

Zhu Xi also echoed the Tao.

Su Jing briefly thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea.

"Which one of you has money in your pocket?"

Su Jing asked several people.

money?
Zhu Di and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.

As princes and feudal lords, they are not short of money, but they don't take money with them, because spending money is just a matter of one sentence, and naturally someone will take care of it.

Putting money in your pocket is something that only ordinary people have.

"Master Su, we really don't have any money with us, why don't I order my servants to get some?"

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.

Su Jing touched himself, the clothes just changed in the palace, the material is quite good, but the pockets are also empty.

"I miscalculated."

Su Jing smiled and waved her hands and said: "It's not necessary, if you don't have money, you have no money, you can still give lectures."

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao sat down quietly, without any change in expression.

The other princes all sat neatly in their seats, showing no signs of being careless at all.

If this scene is seen by the teachers in Dahondo, they will definitely be shocked.

When will the teaching of the princes have such a degree of self-awareness?

Could it be that the sun came out from the west?

Su Jing didn't think about this, and asked a few people directly: "I read books and newspapers before, and Daming is about to make a treasure banknote belonging to Daming. I don't know what you think about this treasure banknote? If you have an idea, raise it hand signal."

As soon as Su Jing finished speaking, Zhu Xi was eager to try and raised his hand.

"Okay, King Qin, tell me."

Su Jing nodded towards Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Su, the students think that treasure notes are money, which are equivalent to gold, silver or copper coins."

"Well, it makes sense."

Su Jing gave a little encouragement, and then asked the others: "You guys, do you have any other ideas?"

Zhu Xun sat down, and Zhu Xun raised his hand.

"Prince Jin, tell me."

Su Jing signaled again.

Zhu stood up and said, "Students think that precious banknotes are precious banknotes, not gold or silver, but the amount printed on the banknotes represents a certain amount of gold and silver, and the banknotes themselves are still paper."

"Well, what King Jin said makes sense."

Su Jing nodded, looked at several people and asked: "Then, is this precious banknote counted as gold or silver? If not, the precious banknote can have the same purchasing power as gold and silver; if it is counted, then the precious banknote is melted and remade into paper Can it still have its original value? No matter how the form of gold and silver changes, it is still worth the same.”

Listening to Su Jing's words, several people fell into deep thought.

What exactly is Baochao?
Su Jing was not surprised by this, he continued: "To put it bluntly, treasure banknotes are paper money, copper coins are made of copper, and paper money is made of paper."

"Among our dynasties, the earliest banknotes appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, named Jiaozi. The reason for its appearance is very simple. It is convenient. The coins used in Sichuan and Chongqing at that time were made of iron, heavy in weight and small in value. A thousand big coins weigh more than 20 catties, and buying more expensive items, such as silk and porcelain, may require hundreds of catties of iron coins at a time, and circulation is very inconvenient.”

"Therefore, merchants at that time issued a paper currency named 'Jiaozi', which was used to replace metal currency circulation, which greatly facilitated various commercial activities."

"This is the general reason for the emergence of paper money. Now, I have a question to ask you. Why can paper money have the purchasing power of metal coins? Is the value of paper equal to gold, silver and copper?"

Why can paper money buy things?Su Jing started her question-based teaching again.

A thoughtful look immediately appeared on the faces of Zhu Biao and the others.

At the same time, the news that Su Jing was teaching at the Prince's Mansion quickly reached Lao Zhu's ears.
