Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 59 Wang Clan

It turned out that the person who spoke was none other than Bai Jinfu, who had a kind and prosperous face.

Seeing that everyone chose silence after hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned slightly.

He knew very well that based on the historical experience of people accepting new things, Bai Jinfu was definitely not the only one who was skeptical about gold coins.

Bai Jinfu owns a bank store and is involved in finance. The value of gold banknotes has a huge impact on his business operations. It is inevitable that he considers the problem from his own perspective.

So, Zhu Gaoxu thought about it for a moment, and then he comforted him and said: "Shopkeeper Bai is overly worried. Just imagine, this gold banknote is exquisite, embedded with gold threads, and even printed with the icon of the emperor today. Its value is more than a hundred taels of silver? Who dares? Destroy it?"

"The leader of the gang is right, or I may be worrying too much."

Seeing that the leader of the Sihai Merchant Gang had spoken, Bai Jinfu did not dare to say anything more, and immediately looked embarrassed and replied respectfully.

Everyone present is a representative of various industries who have long been involved in the business world. How could they not see Zhu Gaoxu's support for the new currency?

When the other people saw this, they all agreed, expressed their confidence in the gold banknotes, and decided to send people to exchange the coins in response to the imperial court's policy of promoting new coins.

After a moment, Zhu Gaoxu pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "I heard that in the future, the imperial court will also issue drafts that can only be redeemed by the Royal Bank for huge bulk transactions."

He was worried that everyone would not understand what a money order was, so he explained it again.

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Aren't the bills of exchange Zhu Gaoxu mentioned for huge transactions just huge banknotes?

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, "silver note shops" appeared in Sichuan that specialized in cash storage business for businessmen carrying huge sums of money. Then the earliest banknotes in Chinese history, namely silver notes, came out.

The Yuan Dynasty mainly used banknotes. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Yuan system was inherited. The "Da Ming Bao Banknotes" issued during the Hongwu period were made of mulberry paper. The banknotes were always one foot high and six inches wide, making them the largest banknotes in China.

After the implementation of the new currency presided over by Zhu Di Bingzheng, although the gold banknote replaced the old treasure banknote, its name was still "Da Ming Bao Banknote", and most of the people's colloquial name for it was still called silver banknote.

However, the maximum denomination of gold banknotes is one hundred yuan, which is equivalent to one hundred taels of silver. If the transaction involves tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, it is still inconvenient to carry and easy to be targeted by criminals.

It would be so convenient if you had such a huge banknote!

"If the money order is implemented, it will definitely be another great good governance for our business community."

Shopkeeper Liu lamented: "When we are in business at our level, we often have large transactions. It is more reassuring and convenient to use a money order issued by the imperial court."

Another half an hour later.

Just when everyone was discussing the various wonderful uses of money orders with Zhu Gaoxu.

"Gang leader, Shopkeeper Wang from Hongmei Bufang is here to pay a visit."

A gatekeeper came in from outside the hall and bowed to report.

"Please come in, Shopkeeper Wang." Zhu Gaoxu responded immediately.

Shopkeeper Wang is a woman wearing a black mask on the left half of her face. She is tall and plump and exudes the aura of a mature woman.

However, at this time, she actually had a big belly, and she was obviously pregnant.

When she saw Zhu Gaoxu coming to greet him, she immediately excitedly said a blessing to him.

Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Xu and others all knew that "Gang Leader Zhu" had a close relationship with Shopkeeper Wang, so they wisely said goodbye and left.

Although Bai Jinfu didn't know what the relationship between Zhu Gaoxu and Shopkeeper Wang was, there were only a few situations between men and women.

Moreover, Shopkeeper Wang in front of him had a bulging stomach, and Bai Jinfu was not stupid, so of course he found an excuse and left.

After seeing off the shopkeepers, Zhu Gaoxu led shopkeeper Wang to the back room.

Zhao Junchen, on the other hand, sent his confidants "guys" to guard the various passages in the backyard, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting, and even ordered the guys to use force to stop intruders when necessary, no matter whether they were killed or injured.

Sihai Martial Arts Hall, in the back room. "Qihong, I've made you and your child suffer."

Zhu Gaoxu put his left hand around Shopkeeper Wang's slender waist, and his right hand gently caressed her belly.

"I have been very worried during the past few months when the prince has been in Peiping."

Wang Qihong stretched out her soft hands and tightly held Zhu Gaoxu's right hand that was on her belly.

"Xiao Cui is very skilled in martial arts. Why don't you see her accompanying you when you come to the martial arts gym this time?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

Xiaocui's existence was to protect Wang Qihong's personal safety and also for surveillance purposes.

"Xiao Cui occasionally felt cold, and I couldn't bear to let her suffer, so I asked her to practice in a closed door." Wang Qihong said respectfully.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: "Next, I will take you to see my grandfather, and then I will arrange for some experienced women to take turns taking care of your daily life."

"If it hadn't been for the prince's rescue, I might still be a slave who is treated like an object. I am a woman who can become the prince in this life. She has died without regrets and dare not have other thoughts."

Wang Qihong whispered softly.

"As long as I'm here, no one in this world will dare to bully you!"

Zhu Gaoxu hugged the woman in his arms, felt her body temperature, and said domineeringly.

After a pause, he continued: "My grandfather already knows about your existence, and he wants to meet you."

Zhu Gaoxu had already sent people to investigate Wang Qihong's life experience and found out that she was a descendant of the royal family of the Goryeo Kingdom, but she was later reduced to a slave due to the war.

Ten years ago, Li Chenggui, the Korean general of the Wang family, launched a mutiny and defected to the Ming Dynasty. After several dethronements, he took power on his own and established the state of Korea.

If Li Chenggui had not mutinied at that time, then Wang Qihong, who had just turned sixteen last month, would still be a nobleman of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Four years ago, Zhu Gaoxu went out for the first time after arriving in Peiping, annihilating a tribe of savages and rescuing dozens of slaves who were trafficked from North Korea by unscrupulous traders.

At that time, she was only 12 years old, with a sallow complexion, skinny and skinny, weighed less than 1.5 kilograms, was less than [-] meters tall, and had a red birthmark on her left forehead.

Although Wang Qihong was short, dirty, thin and ugly at that time, Zhu Gaoxu saw that she had bright eyes and could speak Chinese, so he accepted her as a maid and took her back to Peking for training.

The food served by the slaves in Prince Yan's Mansion was not good, but it was definitely better than what Wang Qihong had eaten when she was a slave.

After living peacefully in Peking for three years, Wang Qihong has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now 15 years old, she has not only grown to nearly 1.7 meters tall, but also weighs over [-] kilograms. She has big breasts, plump hips, and slender legs. The only drawback is that the red birthmark on her forehead is still there.

Because Wang Qihong is considerate, gentle and considerate, she is very popular with Zhu Gaoxu.

In addition to her quick mind and shrewd calculation, Zhu Gaoxu asked her to wear a mask and conceal her identity to try to manage the cloth business in Beiping City.

Perhaps Wang Qihong was born to be in business, and Zhu Gaoxu's secret cloth business in Peking was carefully considered by her.

Moreover, the profit of the business has doubled several times, which is surprisingly good.

After that, she followed Zhu Gaoxu's order and came to the Imperial City of Jinling to continue her cloth business.

It was rare for Zhu Gaoxu to meet a woman who made him excited, so of course he had to protect her well.

What's more, Wang Qihong is pregnant. According to the maternity budget, she may give birth within this month.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is of low birth and ugly. I'm afraid I might offend His Majesty." Wang Qihong said timidly.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything."
