Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

"This, this, this, this matter is not handled well, Your Majesty will blame me, I will be punished, and you won't be able to feel better!"

Xu Hui scolded him harshly.

All the officials felt sad when they heard this, but what could they do.

"A bunch of trash!"

Looking at these silent subordinates, Xu Hui angrily waved his sleeves and cursed.

Shen Jie, who was in the crowd, hesitated and said: "Master Shangshu, as far as I know, many of the faint banknotes are exchanged by the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce. Do you think you should discuss it with them and let them slow down first?"

Xu Hun was stunned when he heard this, and then his face became even uglier. Of course he knew that the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce was the one who did it, and it was the traitor Li Wei who asked him to find this traitor for help. How could it be possible!

"Looking for him? I think he is the one who caused this! Huh, this traitor, I will definitely tell His Majesty about him!"

Xu Hui said angrily.

Not to mention, although he said it out of anger, it really made him right.If it hadn't been for Li Wei's intervention, Baochao would not have fallen so fast.

But even without Li Wei, the new banknotes in their household bank's bank account would not last long. As long as they stop, the banknotes will definitely collapse.

When Shen Jie saw what he said, she obediently shut up.

Xu Hui was furious and scolded the subordinates, but in the end he still couldn't find a solution.

Early the next morning, Li Wei got up unusually early and made an early morning pilgrimage.Now that the treasure banknotes have depreciated in value, he estimates that the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to hold on anymore. He will probably come to a conclusion in the next few days. He will have to pay attention to the movements in the court and wait for an opportunity to take action to turn the tide.

The ministers have become numb to the fact that he often misses the morning court, and now they don't even bother to impeach him. It would be useless to impeach him anyway.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect him to go to court every day, as long as he worked hard.

Even Han Yike no longer persisted. After listening to his eloquent speech in the Jiaofang Division, he suddenly came to his senses and gave up the idea of ​​calling Li Wei to the morning court every day.

When Li Wei arrived outside the Meridian Gate, the ministers who were whispering suddenly fell silent. Only Xue Xiang, Han Yike and a few others greeted him.

Li Wei walked forward, came to Xue Xiang, and exchanged greetings with him. Then he glanced at the civil servants and generals, and his eyes fell on Xu Hui.

At this time, Xu Hui was gathering with Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi. Xu Hui whispered with a sad face. Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi frowned and said nothing. It must be Xu Hui asking them for help.

Now that the treasure has fallen like this, Xu Hui cannot escape the crime of neglecting his responsibility this time.

Li Wei chuckled disdainfully before looking away from him.

Then he saw an old acquaintance.

"Hey, Sir, are you still here? Don't you want to resign?"

Li Wei smiled and said to Nesi who was not far away.When the people around him heard this, they all looked at Luo Si.

Ge Si paused slightly and showed an awkward smile: "Come on, come on, I'll resign tomorrow!"

When the people around him heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes. He had been saying this for more than a year, and as a result, the two ministers in the Ministry of Rites who were waiting to be promoted were tortured to death before he left.Li Mian, who was once brought to collect debts by Li Wei and a girl from the Jiaofang Division, was one of them, but he could not get the title of Shangshu in the end.

"Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows!" Li Wei teased.

Hearing this, the surrounding civil servants who were not dealing with Li Wei couldn't help but nod slightly. "Master Li is right!" Ge Si was not angry and nodded lightly.

Li Wei found it boring, but he didn't say anything more.

After a while, the Meridian Gate opened, and the officials went to the hall. After worshiping, they began to perform their duties in order.

Li Wei didn't care about other things and just stared at Xu Hui.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the turn of the Household Department to report. Xu Hui left the office cautiously and first reported the daily affairs of the Household Department.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently and frowned when he saw that he seemed to be hesitant to talk about the treasure notes.

He is not one of those dim-witted kings who only waits for reports from his ministers all day long to know about private affairs. He has his own sources of intelligence. Not to mention such a big depreciation of treasure banknotes, he is also aware of some price changes among the public. One or two.

"How's the money dumping going?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted the trivial matters that Xu Hui reported and asked about the treasure notes.

Xu Hui's body trembled slightly and hesitantly said: "There are not many new banknotes left in the bank's treasury. Since the bank's treasury was opened to laymen, it has been even more stretched. However, I have ordered the banknote and paper bureau to step up the printing of new banknotes in order to For the people to switch..."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he had talked a lot without mentioning the key points, so he immediately asked impatiently: "We heard that recently the Guangbao banknotes can't even be exchanged for two hundred copper coins. Is this a problem?"

Xu Hui lowered his head and said vaguely: "Yes...there is such a thing. This is all due to the treachery of those common people who prefer new banknotes and despise old banknotes. There are many banknotes that are worth using and come to exchange them. Banks use the banknotes to exchange them." When they refused to comply with the order, they voluntarily settled at a discount, which led to the devaluation of the banknotes."

"We have already issued an edict in response to what you said, and all the banknotes printed by the Zhongshu Hubu Department are accepted as one. Why is this still happening?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, frowning impatiently.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits, and cities, roads and bridges in many places are being rebuilt, production has to be restored, and wars have to be fought. There are many places to spend money, and he relies on printing treasure banknotes to support it.

"This...maybe the common people are ignorant."

Xu Hui was also puzzled. The court had already explained that as long as the money was not out of date, it would work equally well whether it was the old banknotes printed by the Zhongshu Province or the new banknotes issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs. However, these people insisted on changing them and could not. Would rather discount.

After much thought, he could only attribute the reason to the ignorance of these civilians.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little irritable after hearing this. Although Xu Hui's words were suspected of shirking responsibility, it was also true that the people today were ignorant.

But these reasons are not important now. What is important is how to solve the problem now.

"What now?"

Xu Hui was silent for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, why don't we also exchange them at a discount? In this way, the new banknotes can be clearly distinguished from the old banknotes, and the new banknotes will not be affected by the depreciation of the old banknotes."

When Li Wei heard this, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly left the class and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. This kind of approach is breaking the trust of the people. If this continues, the treasure banknotes will definitely become a piece of waste paper!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Hui were slightly shocked when they heard what he said, and Xu Hui was even more angry. He also followed the example of the previous dynasty. This was done in the Song and Yuan dynasties. How could it be considered a breach of trust when it came to Li Wei's mouth? To the people.

"Master Li, don't talk nonsense. I am also following the old system of the Song and Yuan Dynasties! The Song and Yuan dynasties issued banknotes from generation to generation, and they have not been reduced to a piece of waste paper as Mr. Li said!"

Xu Hui immediately scolded. (End of chapter)
