Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Li Wei sighed secretly and did not answer them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, what he was playing this time was an insider operation. He knew that the treasure banknotes were about to change. The new treasure banknotes produced by him would replace the old banknotes, and even completely replace the status of metal currency, but others did not know.

It must be very successful for him to collect old banknotes at the bottom of the market at this time, but others will not realize the value of these old banknotes until the news about the bank and the new banknotes is made public, and even shows its power. By then, he has already After collecting enough old banknotes at a low price, you can directly make a lot of money by replacing them with new banknotes.

Of course, this premise is that the new treasure banknotes can be implemented smoothly and restored to their original value, but he is very confident about this!

Nowadays, a single banknote is only worth more than 100 copper coins. Among the goods I hoarded before and those from the Shen Jing workshop, only a small part has been sold during this period. The rest can still be sold for at least 100 million coins. This time He made three or four times the amount of treasure money as soon as he sold it. If the price of the treasure money could only be restored to about five or six hundred yuan, he would have directly made more than three times the profit.

If the treasure banknotes can be restored to the court's original price of one tael of silver for one thousand coins, it will be even more powerful, which will be a huge profit of seven or eight times.

This is much faster than robbing money. More than 100 million taels of silver are approximately equivalent to one billion in future generations!

Well, it’s Crouching Dragon Phoenix’s turn again...

With so much money, Minghuang Chamber of Commerce will no longer be short of money and can expand aggressively!

"Just do as I say!"

Li Wei emphasized again.

Seeing his firm attitude, Laifu and Shen Jing didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Shen Bin can settle the payment for the goods with him!"

Li Wei ordered again.Now that the treasure banknotes have fallen to the bottom, just selling a quarter of the original goods will be enough to pay him back.

The contracts signed by Shen Bin and the shopkeepers were calculated based on treasure money. Even if he sued the government, it would still be these money.

"Good sir."

Laifu respectfully agreed.

Li Wei arranged these things and went to the Ordnance Bureau again to ask the pottery kiln factory to produce glass supplies. This was also a powerful tool for earning treasure.

There are also newly built paper mills and printing plants. He looked at it again and found that a lot of paper for the new banknotes had been accumulated. The only thing missing from the engraving was Zhu Yuanzhang's head. Once the portrait was obtained to complete the engraving, work could start.

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a royal robe and sitting on a dragon chair, with a flat crown on his head and twelve jade bead curtains hanging down, making him look very majestic and solemn.

The following painters, who have been guests in the palace for a year, are painting his portrait with fear.

Being a model is a very boring and tiring thing. After sitting for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang became impatient.

"Has the painting been finished?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked.

"Back...back to Your Majesty, soon, soon!"

The painter replied while drawing tremblingly.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and walked down.

Several painters were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them, ignored them, and then walked around to their drawing boards and took a look. He saw that most of them had only drawn an outline. He didn't know whether they didn't dare to draw or were really slow.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves dissatisfiedly, patiently returned to sit on the dragon chair, and said: "Continue painting!"

"Yes Yes!"

The painters got up and returned to their seats to continue painting.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, these painters are too slow. It would be great if they could be like the camera on the mobile phone, just click on it.

Ok?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt something in his heart. These people had all seen mobile phones anyway, so why not just take a photo and let these people compare the pictures with each other?

"Okay, let's stop for a moment. You guys wait here."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and shouted outside: "Come here, call the prince!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch waiting outside responded and left in a hurry.After a while, Zhu Biao rushed over.

"See your father."

After Zhu Biao saluted, he couldn't help but be surprised to see Zhu Yuanzhang dressed so grandly. There was no ceremony today.

"Come on, Biao'er, take a picture for us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved, took out the mobile phone he had prepared in advance and handed it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it over doubtfully. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had learned to take pictures before, but it was so hard that he even took a family photo with his mother.

"Didn't that boy Li Wei want our portrait? We are having someone draw it, but we are very busy and don't have time to sit here and let these painters compare the paintings. You took a picture for us, and I asked you to compare it with me. Photo painting!”

Zhu Yuanzhang explained while handing him the phone.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao suddenly realized that this was the matter. No wonder his father was so solemn.

"Good father."

Zhu Biao took the phone over, and when Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his seat, sat down, and posed, Zhu Biao raised the phone and adjusted the angle towards him.

With a click, Zhu Yuanzhang's image was frozen on the mobile phone screen.

"Okay, Father."

Zhu Biao returned the phone, and Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it.

"Okay, okay, this thing is convenient, but it's a pity that it can only be displayed on it and cannot be printed on paper."

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at the photo on the screen that was exactly the same as his own, and sighed repeatedly.

If Li Wei were here, I would definitely tell him about something called a printer.

"You guys, come here."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look and felt satisfied, so he waved to the painters.

Several people hurried forward and bowed their heads, waiting for instructions.

"Here, you can compare it with the painting above and make sure it's exactly right!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The painters quickly agreed, and then they mustered up the courage to look up at the mobile phone in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and were shocked.

They had seen this thing before. They had drawn maps based on this thing before. At that time, what was displayed on it was a map of the world.

But now, what is displayed here is a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang. This portrait is extremely detailed and looks exactly like the real person. It is truly accurate!
"This this……"

An old painter looked at this portrait in shock and was speechless for a moment. He had painted all his life and had never seen such a delicate and perfect painting.

"Okay, take it and start painting." Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the phone.

"Yes!"

The old painter took it with respectful hands, and several people moved their positions, got together, and started painting based on this.

The phone was so small that they had to get close together to see it clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed hard, and they did not dare to delay, so they painted the portrait overnight.

Fortunately, this mobile phone can emit light, so we can see even more clearly at night. They held a candle and fought all night, and finally handed over the portrait the next day.

Of course, they couldn't really make the painting look exactly like the photo. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed, he didn't blame them.

At the Ordnance Bureau, Li Wei received the portrait sent by the internal officer. When he opened it and took a look, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This portrait is very good. In this painting, I can see Lao Zhu sitting majestically and solemnly, wearing a flat crown on his head and wearing a military uniform. It is very grand. But if this kind of portrait is printed on a treasure banknote, what will the treasure banknote look like? Isn't it like the underworld coins of later generations?
After struggling for a while, Li Weicai sighed, closed the portrait, and sent it to the carving craftsmen.

Ming coins are Ming coins. Anyway, people at this time have never seen the huge banknotes of Tiandi Bank. (End of chapter)
