Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 255 I think I said I wanted to treat you?

Li Wei curled his lips secretly, cupped his hands and said, "It's all up to Your Majesty!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was not as angry as before, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. Then he put away his smile and said seriously:

"It's not impossible to make you a king, but it's definitely not now. Although you have done a good job in saving Queen Ma, it is only a private matter of the royal family after all. If we make you a king because of this, we will definitely not be able to convince the public. But don't worry, as long as you behave well in the future Come on, make all the things we want, and the king will definitely be indispensable for you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cut and beat him repeatedly, postponing the matter of being crowned king, turning it into a big cake that can be seen but cannot be eaten.

Li Wei rolled his eyes. This was just like Boss Dog's year-end bonus in the past. There was one, but he couldn't get it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Wei didn't say anything more. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this matter. After all, the king was different from other titles. No matter how noble the other princes were, they were just ministers, but the king was different. When facing the emperor, the king is a minister, but when facing his ministers, the king is the king. This meaning is unusual.

"But you don't have to be disappointed. If you save our girl this time, we will definitely reward you. It just so happens that you have also made a lot of contributions in Yunnan this time. It is more than enough to grant you a title. When the army comes back, Let’s seal it for you together!”

Zhu Yuanzhang was also vain, and he would not be stingy with rewards that were due. In addition to the title of marquis, he would not lack other things.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave now!" Li Wei thanked him again.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly: "Well, go ahead."

Li Wei exited the main hall, went to the harem and called An Qing, and they left the palace together.

It has been more than half a year since he went to Yunnan. After returning to the capital, he was taken directly into the palace. He was busy treating Queen Ma, and he didn't even have time to warm up to Xiaoqing.

Taking their young daughter-in-law An Qing and some guards with them, they hurried back to the Prince Consort's Mansion. The servants who got the news went out and lined up to greet him.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and greetings to the Prince Consort!"

Everyone bowed in unison to see him.

Li Wei raised his hand gently: "Everyone, please get up. My family doesn't need so many false courtesy."

Xiaoqing, Xiaocui and others didn't think much and stood up as instructed. However, Xiaohong and other female officials who came with the princess slightly raised their heads and glanced at Anqing. Anqing followed Li Wei and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Li Wei frowned slightly, feeling that it was necessary to clarify the family throne, so he deliberately raised his hand and patted An Qing's little head, and said in a commanding tone: "An Qing is obedient, let them get up!"

An Qing didn't think much, and said to Xiao Hong and others like a megaphone: "Li Wei tells you to get up, just get up!"

"Yes!"

Xiaohong and the others were slightly shocked, and they quickly said yes.

After An Qing finished speaking, he took his arm and said affectionately: "Let's go home quickly!"

Li Wei nodded lightly, and the two of them were about to walk in. However, when passing Xiao Qing, An Qing suddenly stopped.

"who are you?"

An Qing's little face pointed at the extra Duan Yu next to Xiao Qing and asked.

Duan Yu did not answer rashly, but turned her attention to Li Wei.

"Uh." Li Wei paused and casually made up: "This is the female guard I found for you."

"Really?" An Qing looked back and forth between him and Duan Yu suspiciously.

There was already a Xiaoqing in the house, so she reluctantly accepted it, but now another suspicious person came, which made her feel a little unhappy.

"Since you are the female guard you have found for me, you should stay with me from now on and don't leave!"

An Qing said crisply, she decided to do the same thing as Xiao Qing, keep people in her sight and not give Li Wei a chance to learn idioms secretly!

But what she didn't know was that Li Wei could always find opportunities to complete tasks right under her nose.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Duan Yu bowed respectfully. She didn't have any objection to it, but she was quite happy with it.

An Qing nodded, and then he and Li Wei entered the house, followed by Xiaoqing, Xiaohong and others.

As the saying goes, a breakup is better than a wedding. That night, Li Wei took Xiaoqing out while Anqing was asleep and went to find a place to study literature in depth.

But now Duan Yu is also with the little princess, so naturally he can't hide it from Duan Yu when he drags Xiao Qing out. When Duan Yu quietly followed and found out what the two of them were going to do, her face turned red with embarrassment and she cursed obscenely. What a hypocrite!

After resting at home for a day, Li Wei got busy again.

Half a year after he left Beijing, great changes had taken place in the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, the Bank, the Banking Department and the Ministry of Industry.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, each yamen was not yet customized and would often be added or subtracted. Just like when he established a new Zhangxing Department, other ministries were also constantly adding subordinate yamen.

He doesn't care about other departments and just concentrates on doing his own thing.

The Minghuang Chamber of Commerce has now expanded to areas around Yingtian Mansion. Due to the royal brand and its unique new products, it is not difficult to do it. Anyway, the Chamber of Commerce is not short of money. Even if it encounters Shen Bin again Competitors like that don't seem to be fazed either.

As for the bank, it has now been divided separately, and Shen Jing is still in charge. Although the equity is the same as that of the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, they are independent of each other.

Now the treasure banknotes in the capital have basically been exchanged. In addition, after the pressure of dumping banknotes has eased, the Bank of China also took the opportunity to print a large amount of money and purchased a huge amount of gold and silver for storage. As more and more new treasure banknotes are issued, Those merchants gradually came to their senses and stopped exchanging large amounts of gold and silver into treasure notes in a panic, and the price of gold and silver gradually stabilized.

However, now that banks are all over the surrounding prefectures, they have launched aggregation services. After trying the convenience of aggregation, these businessmen actively exchanged a large amount of property into banknotes and deposited them in banks, which made transactions convenient and profitable. Interest.

Of course, banks are not at a loss. Although the interest rate was lowered once to cooperate with the issuance of bonds by the Ministry of Accounts, the interest rate difference between deposits and loans is still around 5%.

Li Wei first learned about the bank's affairs with Shen Jing, and told him to strictly review loan qualifications and eliminate bad debts, and then went to the Arms Bureau.

Peace has not yet completely settled in Yunnan. When he left, he handed over the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to Mu Ying. The combat power of the Shenji Battalion relied heavily on firearms, and he had to supervise and transport some more ammunition.

After handling these matters, he returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. He first called Jiang Shouqing, Guan Ziming and others to understand their situation, and then sent people to the Zhanghang Department next door to bring Wang Jie, Shen Jie and others. called over.

Since there is only one Minghuang Bank owned by Li Wei in Ming Dynasty, and he personally orders most of the affairs, Wang Jie and others who are in charge of the banking department do not have much to do now, but if there are other banks in the future, they will be busy.

Seeing Wang Jie coming in, Li Wei's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered something:

"I thought I said I was going to treat you?"

　I’ll post these first, and I’ll code more in the afternoon.
