Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

When Li Wei heard these words, he felt mixed in his heart. Although these people would spend the new money, they would have to wait until they had no other money to spend, which would probably take a long time.

If you want to solve this problem, you have to step on the money printing machine and take back all the copper coins, gold and silver, and then only the treasure banknotes are left. Then the people will naturally be able to use this kind of money. .

China has always been a copper-poor country. It is a good thing to replace copper coins with banknotes. As for gold and silver, it doesn't matter. Even in later generations, these are precious metals. They can be directly stored in banks as anchors. The more the better.

If we just want to complete this important task, the current speed of printing money is not enough, so we have to expand the printing plant.

Li Wei immediately thought of the banknote bureau of the Ministry of Accounts. Now the banknote bureau and the banknote collection department are under the jurisdiction of Minghuang Bank. However, he has been busy issuing new banknotes these days and has not gone to receive them yet. It will be just in time to receive them. Used to expand the printing plant.

Xu Hui will definitely not cooperate when he is here. He has left in the past two days. Ru Taisu has just taken office. It should be smoother to take over now.

"Well, I'll go find Ru Taisu tomorrow!"

While Li Wei was thinking about things, he returned to the bank with the "accidentally" soiled banknotes.

Although there are still many problems, his performance was not in vain. Now people are finally not as cautious as before when receiving treasure banknotes.

……

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Yuanzhang finished his day of court meetings and had to review memorials when he returned to his dormitory. He fully developed the revolutionary spirit of not being afraid of hardship or fatigue, and worked harder than any other civil servants and generals.

Although there were brief notes written by Wang Ben and other cabinet ministers in the memorial, he found that these people were really incompetent and far inferior to Wu Bozong's group. In order to avoid missing important government affairs, he had to go through each memorial in detail. Again.

Throwing the reviewed memorial book aside, he took another one down. However, this one obviously felt different in his hand, and was much thicker than the other memorial books!
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he took it to his eyes and read the signature: Ru Taisu!
When he saw this name, his face immediately darkened. No need to think about it, it must be full of nonsense!

It's fine if it's all nonsense. The key point is that this bastard often contains a few useful suggestions. You can tell me to read it. You'll have to worry about it. Don't read it. Sometimes the suggestions put forward by this bastard are quite good. useful.

Zhu Yuanzhang struggled with the memorial for a while, then finally sighed and patiently opened it and started reading.

"I am fortunate to have received the grace of His Majesty the Shengming Emperor. It is truly a great honor to inherit the Holy Family and be promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs. In the future, I will strictly abide by His Majesty's teachings, fulfill my duties, and do my best to work hard for the country and the country." Live up to His Majesty’s expectations...Bala, Bala, Bala..."

This was a memorial written by Ru Taisu to express his gratitude. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly promoted him, which made him extremely excited. After returning home, he wrote furiously and wrote a memorial of nearly [-] words in one go to express his gratitude. His Majesty the Emperor’s deep gratitude.

Ru Taisu's literary talent is quite good. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little happy when he looked at these rainbow farts. After all, who doesn't like good words?

However, after reading a few thousand words, his expression gradually darkened.

After [-] words, my face turned dark.

Ten thousand, ten thousand... Finally, when he was about to finish reading and only had the last five hundred words left, Ru Taisu finally got down to business.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face was livid. He gritted his teeth and read the last part of the story, holding the memorial with his fingers so hard that he scratched the paper.

"You bastard! This article is full of nonsense and the important things are written at the end. Is this deliberately disgusting us? It's really unreasonable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial to the ground and cursed loudly.

"Come here, come here!"

"The servant is here."

When the little eunuch waiting outside the door heard the movement, he was frightened and trembled. He trotted in and bowed down, not daring to raise his head.

"Go, send someone to Ru Taisu's house and beat him up, hard!" Zhu Yuanzhang viciously ordered Ru Taisu to be beaten.

"Yes, yes, I obey your order!"

The little eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions, and left in a hurry after receiving the order.

Ru Taisu's family.

After Ru Taisu had some refreshments in a happy mood, he went back to his room, undressed and lay down.

However, after lying there for a long time, I couldn't fall asleep. I couldn't help it, I was so excited!

Since the abolition of the Zhongshu Province, without the prime minister, the six ministers are now the pinnacle of civil servants' practical duties. Although there are only two-level officials, his name will definitely be indispensable in the history books in the future!
His name will remain in history. This is the achievement that many literati have dreamed of achieving, and he has achieved it now!
Thinking of this made him so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Just as he was tossing and turning with his eyes closed and a smile on his face, several pro-military guards quietly came to his door.

"Boss, how are you going to beat me later?"

A guard lowered his voice and asked the leading flag officer.

The little flag officer frowned and thought for a moment. His Majesty only said to give him a good beating, but he didn't say how exactly or to what extent the beating would be. The little eunuch didn't dare to ask, so he just passed on the message. He couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

After hesitating for a moment, the flag officer said: "Let's do this. We'll fight him when we go in later. Don't make any trouble. Just hit him to hurt him. Don't beat him to death or maim him."

Although His Majesty said that he would be beaten hard, but he did not say that he would be beaten to death, that is to say, he could not be beaten to death. Moreover, Mr. Ru had just been promoted to minister and was obviously favored by the Holy Family, so he could not really be beaten to death.

"understand!"

The guards under him immediately agreed in a deep voice.

When the flag official saw this, he stopped talking nonsense and kicked open the door of Ru Taisu's house.

Ru Taisu, who was in the room, was not asleep to begin with. When he heard the movement, he immediately sat up in shock.

However, before he could get out of bed, several guards kicked open his door again and broke in.

"Who? Who are you?" Ru Taisu shouted in panic.

"Sir Ru, we are doing things under orders, please forgive me." The flag official said first to identify himself.

Ru Taisu was stunned. He was sent by the emperor to do something according to the order. Why did your majesty send people to break into his house at such a late hour?
"What are you going to do..."

"on!"

The little flag officer didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and waved his hand, and the guards immediately rushed up.

Ru Taisu looked at the guards who rushed up in horror, and shouted: "What are you doing? What are you going to do... Ouch!"

boom!
Ding-ding-ding-rang...

The innocent Ru Taisu was punched and kicked by the guards, pushed to the ground and beaten violently, causing him to scream in agony.

"Master, who are you, how dare you hit my master?" Ru Taisu's servant heard the noise and rushed over.

"Pro-military people are doing things, and idlers are getting out of the way!"

The guards kept punching and kicking, and shouted coldly.

As soon as the servant heard that he was a member of the army, he immediately did not dare to say anything and just stood aside and watched his master being beaten.

After fighting for a long time, these little flag officers felt that it was almost done and said: "That's it, that's enough!"

After everyone heard this, they stopped and stood aside.

"Master Ru, we are also acting under orders, please forgive me, let's go!"

The flag officer said some kind words, then waved his hand and walked out with his men.

The servant waited for them to leave, then came over with a lamp and helped his master up from the ground.

"Master, how are you? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Ru Taisu stood up tremblingly with the help of his servants. Not only was his nose and face swollen, but he was also bursting with tears!
"Why, why did your Majesty hit me?"

Ru Taisu muttered to himself while wiping away tears, full of grievances that no one could say.

Originally, he felt aggrieved when the ministers alienated him, but fortunately, His Majesty was very discerning and promoted him to an official position, which finally gave him some comfort.

However, before he could be happy for a day, His Majesty suddenly and inexplicably sent someone to beat him up!
During the day, he had just written a letter of gratitude with tens of thousands of words. The words in it were gorgeous and flattering. Even if His Majesty did not reward him separately, he should be better.

However, the truth is exactly the opposite. Instead of giving him another reward, His Majesty changed his attitude and sent people to his house to beat him all night long. He couldn't even wait for dawn!

He was puzzled. Is this the so-called unpredictability of the king's heart?
Ru Taisu was aggrieved, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also very angry. Not only did he send people to beat him, but he also wanted to punish him as Li Wei suggested last time to copy the memorial a hundred times outside the Meridian Gate, but he thought of this memorial. After flattering him throughout the article, he had to give up the idea, after all, he was not that thick-skinned.

The next day.

Li Wei came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to find Xue Xiang.

"Master Xue, let's go."

"Where to go?" Xue Xiang was stunned.

"It's acting, just like yesterday."

"Still... still acting?" Xue Xiang looked horrified.

"Yes, although we have performed it once, new people come to the bank every day. We have to perform it a few more times until the news spreads and everyone believes it." Li Wei explained road.

"This, this, this..." Xue Xiang thought for a long time before coughing and said: "Master Li, I am very busy with official duties recently and I am afraid I won't be able to spare time. Master Li should find someone else!"

"It won't take long!"

"I really don't have time, I really don't have time!" Xue Xiang waved his hands repeatedly.

Hearing this, Li Wei looked him up and down. Xue Xiang quickly picked up his pen and looked busy.

Li Wei curled his lips in displeasure. The old man obviously didn't want to help.

"Tsk, no sense of loyalty!"

The old man in front of him looked like he was refusing to leave, so Li Wei could only turn around and leave.

Xue Xiang held the pen and looked at him disappearing out the door, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

After walking out of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Li Wei couldn't help but feel worried. Xue Xiang was the only official he knew who was easier to talk to. The other officials were either too junior and he didn't like him, or they just refused to deal with him and would definitely not help.

The prince is easy to talk to, but calling him a prince is too much and will definitely not work.

"Huh? It seems that there is still a minister available!"

Li Wei suddenly remembered Ru Taisu, who had just been promoted to the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Ru Taisu was recommended by him. It shouldn't be too much to ask him to do such a small favor, right?

It just so happened that the Banknote Bureau and the Banknote Collection Department also needed to be handed over to him. From now on, these departments would be under the control of Minghuang Bank.

Thinking of this, Li Wei turned a corner and went to the Ministry of Finance. (End of chapter)
