Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 395 King Shen arrives, His Majesty’s decree

"Damn slaves!"

When Zhu Xuan found Hou Xian, he was drunk and had not yet woken up.

When he learned that Zhu Xuan came to see him, he had failed to fulfill his duty as a slave because he was drunk and had failed to fulfill his duties as a slave. He was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he quickly knelt down to apologize.

As for Zheng He, he was not drunk last night. In the middle of the barbecue, he asked to leave and go to the trading port to deal with some unfinished business.

Hou Xian was drunk and made a mistake, which was his own negligence. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his body was shaking constantly.

"never mind."

Zhu Xuan was a little angry, thinking that Hou Xian had drifted off, but thinking that he was the one who invited him to drink last night, he stopped arguing with him, and said: "You tidy up and go out with me."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Hou Xian kowtowed vigorously.

This must not happen again!

Zhu Xuan changed clothes, had breakfast, and then went back to the room to see Cen Hua.

He saw this little sister, still lying on the couch. Maybe because she drank too much, her face was very red and cute. He couldn't help pinching her fleshy little face and whispered: " Arrange two maids to greet little sister Hua'er!"

Hou Xian heard this and immediately went out to find the maid.

Zhu Xuan didn't stay too long and went out. He first went to the government office to chat with Xu Qi, and then helped with some government affairs.

But at this moment, someone from outside came to tell him that King Shen was here.

King Shen is Zhu Mo.

Zhu Xuan's twenty-first uncle, Zhu Xuan also established a casual friendship with Zhu Mo in the main hall before, but his relationship with his twenty-first uncle was the best, and he hadn't seen his twenty-first uncle for a long time.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

Xu Qi heard that King Shen was coming and hurried out to greet him.

Zhu Xuan was deeply curious about Zhu Mo's arrival. When he went out to see it, it turned out to be Uncle Twenty-one. He asked curiously: "Why is Uncle Twenty-one here?"

"Free gift!"

Zhu Mo first said something to Xu Qi, and then looked at the sound, only to see Zhu Xuan looking at him blankly, laughing and saying: "It turns out that Xiao Yunxuan is also in the government office. I was about to go to your house. I am I came by boat, it’s my first time to go to sea in a boat, it feels really good, it was my father who asked me to go south to help you control Mubang.”

Hearing the second half of his words, Zhu Xuan instantly understood the reason for Uncle Twenty-one's arrival and also understood Grandpa Huang's intentions.

Xu Qi invited Zhu Mo into the government office. After they sat down, Zhu Mo said again: "I have learned about Mubang and other places in the south of Yunnan. Originally I didn't want to come, but your grandpa heard that I didn't want to come. They almost hung me up and beat me, I had to come!”

Hearing this, Zhu Xuan smiled.

You can imagine the scene when Grandpa Huang wanted to beat up Uncle Twenty-one.

"Siam and Burma were taken over by me. With such a large area of ​​land, Grandpa Huang doesn't trust others to manage it. He should want to hand it over to our own family."

Zhu Xuan said guessing.

Zhu Mo echoed: "Little Yunxuan guessed it right. Father said that our own members of the old Zhu family are trustworthy, so he changed my fiefdom to Mubang. The title will not be changed for the time being. Let me assist you. "

Zhu Xuan could understand Grandpa Huang’s intentions.

"I will ask Uncle Twenty-one to help me more in the future."

Zhu Xuan explained: "Although the location in the south of Yunnan is remote, the environment there is not bad, it has the potential for development, and it can also consolidate the territory for our Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Mo smiled and said: "Little Yunxuan is worthy of growing up with his father. My father also said similar words when he persuaded me to go south."

Seeing the tacit understanding between Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yuanzhang, he admired him in his heart.

But regarding the position of heir, Zhu Mo understood that even if the prince's eldest brother's son had no hope, it would not be his turn.

Even if he is envious, he will not be jealous. By the way, I can take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Zhu Xuan.

"Uncle Twenty-one is joking. When will Uncle Twenty-one plan to go to Mubang?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Zhu Mo said: "I'm not in a hurry to leave. I come to Guangzhou first. I have another mission. My father asked me to bring the imperial edict."

As he spoke, he took out the imperial edict from his arms.

When Zhu Xuan and Xu Qi saw this, they immediately knelt down.

"It's just my father's imperial edict, and my father is not here. Why should we be polite between uncles and nephews?"

Zhu Mo didn't even bother to read out the imperial edict. He pulled Zhu Xuan to his feet, handed him the imperial edict, and said, "Xiao Yunxuan, you can read it yourself."

Despite this, Xu Qi still knelt down and did not dare to be rude.

Zhu Xuan opened the imperial edict and was immediately happy.

Because this is about Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and banks, the imperial edict also states that Zhu Xuan is allowed to establish a bank in Guangzhou Prefecture, and he can also print and issue treasure banknotes by himself. At that time, the Guangzhou Prefecture Bank, Lingbei Bank, etc. Connect with local communication, increase the scope of circulation, and fix the purchasing power of treasure banknotes.

"Grandpa Huang really wants to reform the Ming Dynasty Baochao." Zhu Xuan said with a smile.

It seems that the persuasion that day convinced Grandpa Huang.

Officials from the Ministry of Revenue also agreed to this approach.

Paper money was not an original invention of the Ming Dynasty. It had been around since the Song Dynasty. It was indeed convenient to use. The Ministry of Revenue may have taken advantage of the convenience and had no objection.

"There are also a few engravings for printing money, as well as a letter that my father left for you alone."

Zhu Mo said: "I will send someone to your house later."

Engraving is used for printing money. Its shape is fixed, and it also has anti-counterfeiting functions. It is usually sealed in a banknote collection office, and not many people are qualified to contact it.

Zhu Yuanzhang could give himself a copy of such an important thing, and Zhu Xuan could feel the emperor's trust again.

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Twenty."

Zhu Xuan put away the imperial edict.

Seeing this, Xu Qi dared to get up.

Zhu Mo added: "Next, I will go to Annan to meet brother-in-law Mei Yin, and then go to Mubang. I will not be involved in the bank matter."

"Uncle Twenty-one is going to Annan. You can go to the trading port and talk to Zheng He."

Zhu Xuan nodded.

When mentioning the trade port, Zhu Mo couldn't tell how much he admired him, and praised: "Xiao Yunxuan has been in Guangzhou for more than a year and has done so many things. I see that the trade port outside is more lively than our Yingtian Mansion, with people coming and going. There were everyone there, and I also saw a strange man who was all black except for his white teeth, and I was shocked."

That was the black slave brought back by Zheng He.

After hearing this, their uncle and nephew laughed.

In this case, Zhu Xuan took the initiative to lead the way and took Uncle Twenty-one to visit the trading port, walk around inside and then go back to rest.

Zhu Mo stayed in Guangzhou for two days, then found Zheng He and set off for Annan by boat.

After sending Uncle Twenty-one away, Zhu Xuan also began to study how to establish Daming Bank in Guangzhou and reform Daming Banknotes.

But it is not difficult to do this. Zhu Xuan has an idea in his mind, and the letter that the emperor asked Uncle Twenty to bring also contains a series of methods that he discussed with the cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, etc. , they thought very well and added a lot of content to Zhu Xuan's plan.

By combining these practices, we can start reform.

But the most important thing is to fix the purchasing power of treasure banknotes, and the credibility of the Ming Dynasty in treasure banknotes.
