Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 119 119Who hasn’t tried any means yet?

"Biao'er, if you are in power, you cannot always follow the wishes of the people. There are so many unruly people in the world." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the people lining up outside:

"There will definitely be a lot of unscrupulous people among them, wanting to exchange old ones for new ones."

"So what?" Zhu Biao said matter-of-factly: "They all came in response to your policy. Who doesn't say that the emperor is wise and considers the people?"

"But."

"Don't worry." Zhu Biao stopped Zhu Yuanzhang: "Bao banknotes are made of paper. Now everyone needs to spend thirty copper coins to exchange for a regular currency. So many people come to exchange them.

The court just gave out some extra paper, but what they got back was indeed real copper coins.

Once in and out, the court naturally made money, and the method of pouring money was quite good. "

Zhu Biao was extremely satisfied with Wang Buli's solution.

Copper was so scarce in the Ming Dynasty that the Baoquan Bureau would be abolished from time to time due to insufficient copper coins.

With Lao Zhu's temperament, if there is no "copper money" output, what else should I do to support idle people?

Our Ming Dynasty will never raise idle people.

Brackets: Except for our sons and nephews!

It would be easy to say that Zhu Yuanzhang was stingy, but he was willing to waste money on his sons and nephews.

The wedding money thrown out by King Zhu Di of Yan when he got married was a large amount of copper coins.

The luxurious palaces that started to be built after Hongwu became queen in the third year have not been completed in the ninth year of Hongwu.

It will take another two years for the luxurious palace of the second son, King Qin, to be completely completed.

But King Qin likes to engage in performance art. After the palace is built, I will not live in it. I will move the luxurious and beautiful scenery in the palace to another place.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to hold it in his heart even if he didn't say anything he said when he was reprimanded by the good boy.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, his thoughts were very different from before.

He saw so many people coming to exchange new banknotes.

The first thought that popped into Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was that these ruthless people were just greedy for small profits.

Most of them are here to "exchange currency with malicious intent"!

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang even wanted to stop this policy.

But the emperor said that if he issued it yesterday, he would stop it today and close the bank. This was really a slap in Zhu Yuanzhang's own face.

Even if he is angry now, Zhu Yuanzhang has to hold it in.

The father and son have different thinking, and naturally have different ideas about the things in front of them.

Prince Zhu Biao has always been kind, but kindness does not mean that he is weak and can be bullied!

Whether it is dealing with his father, his subordinates, or a group of brothers, Zhu Biao can do it with ease.

The father and son just watched, waiting to see if anything unexpected would happen, and then sat aside to deal with the government affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still uneasy about a new policy, and it was his character to watch it personally.

After waiting in line for more than three hours, Wang Buli rubbed his sore eyes.

Comparable to this time, what he has experienced is just a stab in the throat, right?

The head of the store was the first to change, but he encountered difficulties from the bank clerk.

"Although yours is tattered, the handwriting is still clear. According to the policy, replacement is not allowed."

Liushenwuzhu, the head of the house, turned to look at Wang Buli on the side, because he said that this could be exchanged.

Always money.

Wang Buli took it and took a look. This was equivalent to damaged banknotes.

The type where stickers are added on the back in order to be able to spend it.

And the handwriting is also traced later.

"Next one." The bank clerk shouted.

After Wang Buli took it, he tore off the patched paper and handed it to the bank clerk:

"now what?"

"You dare to tear up the treasure banknotes and exchange them on purpose?"

"Who saw me tear up the treasure banknotes?"

Wang Buli put the treasure banknotes on the table: "Who saw it?"

"I didn't see it." The chief shook his head quickly.

Wang Guanzhong and others in line also said they didn't see it.

"you."

The bank clerk was angered by Wang Buli's operation. He pointed at Wang Buli and said, "Tear up the banknotes without authorization. You must be so bold. Wait for me to call someone."

"Scream, I want to see which part of the Ming Dynasty law says that you are not allowed to tear up treasure banknotes, let alone I haven't torn them up yet."

Wang Buli's temper also rose, and he was extremely angry at the inefficiency of the government.

I came early in the morning and waited in line for more than three hours, which made me feel extremely irritable.

The result is two "window" services.

It was almost lunch time and they were getting ready to close the shop.

Damn it, you are so unlucky!

"Just wait for me, I won't change it for you today."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Wang Buli nodded and told the chief to find someone who could run fast and go to the Jiangning County Yamen to find Song Dianshi.

Said to help maintain order in the bank and warehouse within the jurisdiction.

There are too many people changing banknotes today.

A stampede may occur if you are not careful.

Then he whispered to the chief and told him to send someone to use some means when it was his turn.

Then the young man in the square put down the chair for Wang Buli.

A plug chair is just two wooden boards that are plugged together to form a seat, which is simple and convenient.

Wang Buli sat on the side of the exchange table, watching the people behind him exchange.

When the bank clerk saw that a piece of dog-skin plaster had arrived today, he even sneered, "I'm going to embarrass you today."

You are so ignorant, how dare you fight with me?

Zhu Biao listened to the school inspector's report about Wang Buli exchanging treasure banknotes just now.

"Hmph, he is quite smart." Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there were many such unruly people.

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously. He also sent people to check the old folk banknotes to see if they were damaged. Most of them were tattered, oily, water-stained, and paper-repaired.

Especially the paper bills, which look like fake banknotes.

"If the people below are too harsh, I'm afraid my father's good intentions will be miscarried by them."

Zhu Biao thought from another angle.

Treasury officials dare to make things difficult for a county government official, but it would be extremely easy to make things difficult for ordinary people.

If there is any corruption happening here.

If people want to exchange real banknotes, they will not only have to spend a lot of time queuing, but also spend thirty cash.

There are still some loopholes that need to be patched.

Before Wang Buli could wait too long, Song Dianshi rushed to the scene with a group of government officials.

Routine and help maintain order.

When Song Dianshi arrived, Wang Buli got up and went out and said, "Brother Song, help me find out where this official lives and what his name is."

"It's a small matter. I haven't seen you come to change money recently. I never thought of bringing the neighbors to change money."

Song Dianshi waved his hand casually, and someone went to see what the officials inside looked like.

Wang Buli didn't have to wait too long before someone collected all the information about Lu Wei.

"When I'm done, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Do you need me to stand behind you?" Song Dianshi asked hurriedly.

Wang Buli, this little brother, helped him a lot on weekdays. How could he miss this small favor today?

"What's the use of a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

Wang Buli waved his hand and walked in directly.

Song Dianshi muttered something and couldn't help laughing.

The little brother just knows how to talk.

When Lu Wei saw Wang Buli leaving and returning, he snorted.

Wang Buli sat on the chair again and spoke slowly:

"Lu Wei lives in Zaofang Lane. Both his parents are dead. There are six people in the family, including a son and a daughter.

Both sisters are married, and one brother has just gotten married and is studying in the Imperial College. Your sister-in-law is pregnant.

One of your two brothers-in-law makes a living by farming in Zhouying Village, twenty miles outside the city, and the other makes a living by opening a bookstore in Zhuangyuanjing. "

Lu Wei stood up, looked at Wang Buli and said, "What do you mean?"

He didn't think anyone could find out his identity in a short time.

"Do you believe that the street lights in Zaofang Alley are broken?"

"No one is collecting the feces in your alleys."

“The well water you eat will also have your feces thrown at it.”

"Beggars will also gather in front of your house, and the road will be destroyed from time to time?"

After listening to Wang Buli's words, Lu Wei couldn't sit still.

Although these things are not big, they can't stand disgusting people.

"What do you mean?" Lu Wei gritted his teeth and asked. Wang Buli just sat firmly on the chair, raised his chin to indicate some old banknotes piled on the table, and said nothing.

"I'm doing things according to the rules."

"Really?" Wang Buli snorted and said:

"I just saw someone stuffing you with money, so you gave him a precious note. If I don't bribe you, you won't change it for me. Who is violating the Ming Law?

Do you need me to call him over and confront you? "

"You!" Lu Wei became even more furious when he heard this: "How dare you slander me?"

"You can think about it later."

Wang Buli snapped his fingers, and the person who had just been arranged to bribe Lu Wei stood behind him.

"And he's not the only one to bribe you in order to change the banknotes smoothly. There are a lot of copper coins in your pocket now, right?"

Wang Buli's critical attack directly silenced Lu Wei.

After taking a few deep breaths, he could only accept his fate and took the tattered banknotes on the table, began to count them, asked for the cost of the work, and then asked him to press his fingerprints for confirmation.

He didn't know the identity of the young man in front of him, but he could easily find out the information about his family. He must not be short of money, so why did he come to exchange the money in person?

After the banknotes were exchanged, Wang Buli stood up, looked at Lu Wei and said:

"It's hard to get some money. Be careful if you lose your job because of this, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

"who are you?"

"If you ask me, I have to tell you. If you are able to find out, let's go."

Someone put the chair on their shoulders and followed Wang Buli.

Although there was a little hiccup, Wang Buli immediately swayed the people in the county government to gain momentum and solved the difficulties everyone encountered. The district chief and others showed satisfied smiles on their faces.

Look at our good neighbors, even the officials in the bank do not dare to bully us easily.

After waiting out, Song Dianshi looked at the long queue and couldn't help but shook his head and said:

"There are too many people. Fortunately, you reminded me in time, and we have just stopped several groups that almost got into fights because of jumping in line."

"Today many people's efforts will be in vain, and then tomorrow when people outside the city receive the news, they will come into the city to exchange money, and it will be even more crowded."

Wang Buli took up the conversation. At this moment, a school inspector took out his badge and blocked the way:

"My lord wants to see you and come with me."

Wang Buli raised his eyebrows slightly, and Song Dianshi spoke first: "I don't know which sir it is, but I hope you can tell me your name!"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." The inspector replied harshly.

"I'll send someone to find your old parents to calm things down for you." Song Dianshi said in a low voice.

Since he can't cover him, he naturally has to shake him.

"Brother Song, you don't need to worry, I know it in my heart." Wang Buli handed the treasure banknotes to his eldest brother Wang Guanzhong and patted his hand: "Wait for me for a while, I guess it's the one who's here."

Wang Guanzhong immediately understood. Besides Prince Zhu Biao, could it be anyone else?

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Guanzhong collected the treasure and was not worried at all about his younger brother going to inspect the school.

Lu Wei felt a little trembling in his heart when he saw Wang Buli leaving and coming back, and then entering the back of the warehouse.

He remembered Wang Buli's words before leaving and touched the heavy purse under his sleeves. His hands and feet felt cold for a moment.

When Wang Buli went up to the second floor, he saw the prince sitting there handling political affairs, and he quickly saluted.

"Wang Dianli, are you here to change the banknotes too?"

"My father opened a drug store, so he received a lot of old banknotes and damaged treasure banknotes. On weekdays, neighbors came to see the doctor, so he turned a blind eye and accepted them all.

Today, the mayor organized everyone to come together to change banknotes. I came with my eldest brother. "

Wang Buli spoke for his father, and Zhu Biao was very satisfied:

"Your eldest brother is also studying in the Imperial College and is Ru Yu's classmate. I heard him mention you two."

"Oh!" Wang Buli didn't answer the question.

"You used to rely on your fists and feet to speak. After you became a prison official in Jiangning County, you started to use your brain. How did you change? I'm quite curious."

Zhu Biao asked from the side, also wanting to know when Wang Buli entered the fairyland and then learned to change.

"Because there are so many people who know how to box and kick, they don't have much help in solving the case. They can only use their brains."

Wang Buli's words made sense, and Zhu Biao laughed twice:

"Okay, okay, your method of pouring banknotes is not bad. It seems that more people will come to change the new banknotes. You came to change the banknotes yourself, but what did you find?"

“There are too many people coming to change banknotes and too few officials to change them.

I got up early and followed my neighbors to do some work. It took me about three hours to finish it. It was still close.

Residents in the city who are farther away may not be able to exchange all the money at night, not to mention that there will be so many people from outside the city coming to exchange money.

If it is not handled properly, it is easy to turn a good governance into a bad disease. Just as a precaution, I asked Song Dianshi of Jiangning County to lead people to maintain order and avoid greater disturbances. "

Wang Buli did not hide these things. He originally thought of relying on others to solve his own problems, but he didn't expect that the prince would see the whole story.

"You did the right thing about this."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, very satisfied with Wang Buli's honesty, and he did not retaliate against the bank clerk and file a black case against him.

"In this matter, I underestimated the people's desire for new banknotes."

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement: "It seems that the treasure banknotes prepared are not enough!"

"You have been at the grassroots level for a long time, but what can you do?"

“I believe that most of the people who come to exchange banknotes do not come by themselves, but exchange banknotes in villages and shops.

In this case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare a sequence diagram covering the entire Yingtian Mansion.

In order to avoid large-scale gatherings and queues, which would also delay farm work, and there are no toilets around, people will defecate everywhere, and soon there will be nowhere to stay here.

Only when the government provides effective guidance will the people become more satisfied, and this policy will become truly good governance. "

Wang Buli talked boastfully for a while, and Zhu Biao was greatly praised.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping, felt that this kid was very smart and his ideas were comprehensive enough.

"But you forgot to mention one thing."

Zhu Biao stood up with a folding fan and smiled: "Wang Buli, are you pretending to be stupid?"

"I don't dare, I hope the prince will make it clear."

Wang Buli quickly bowed and did not look into Zhu Biao's eyes.

"The emperor formulates policies, but how many of the officials below can actually implement them?"

Zhu Biao walked around Wang Buli and stood in front of him:

"These are the people in the city. If they are people from outside the city, there are a few of them like you who can investigate the information of a bank clerk in a short time.

If they are embarrassed by some petty officials, who can they tell about the grievances in their hearts? "

"The prince still considers everything comprehensively."

Wang Buli quickly admitted and complimented him.

As for using a little bit of connections to investigate individuals, there is no provision in the Ming Dynasty law that says it is not allowed.

"You're a bachelor."

Zhu Biao fanned his folding fan and thought for a while: "What are your thoughts on this?"

"How about we launch a praise service?"

"What do you mean?"

"Every citizen who comes to queue can receive a number issued in advance, and then after redeeming the treasure banknotes.

He put the number in two baskets in front of him. One basket represented his satisfaction with the behavior of the officials who exchanged the treasure notes, and the other basket represented his dissatisfaction.

Opening more exchange windows and having someone count who gets the most satisfaction will reward them. This can also effectively prevent them from accepting bribes in private, which will disappoint the people.

Think of it as killing three birds with one stone! "

Zhu Biao was shocked.

Because he just asked casually and blurted it out without thinking about Wang Buli, with almost no need for thinking.

Such a performance is really impossible to deal with him.

Otherwise, why would Lan Yu admire Wang Buli so much and want to take him under his wing to fight?

But Zhu Biao believed that Wang Buli would not convert into a military household.

Because according to the plan formulated by his father Zhu Yuanzhang, farmers farmed the land and merchants did business. No one could cross the line.

The divisions between military households, civilian households, and craftsman households are all determined at the moment of reincarnation.

Whatever your father did, you will do the same in the future.

Your father is an ox and horse, and your children and grandchildren are all ox and horse.

Your father is a noble person, and your children and grandchildren are all noble people.

Naturally speaking, all the descendants of my old Zhu family are emperors.

Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is that it doesn't matter if I work harder, I have formulated all the systems.

Even if there are a few unsatisfactory descendants in the future generations, just follow the rules I set and you can just wait and enjoy the blessings.

But there will be no perfect things or perfect systems in the world. Every system has flaws and loopholes.

Lao Zhu believed that he could become the emperor of the world from a beggar like no one before, so the system I formulated can naturally be used for thousands of years.

"Achieve three birds with one stone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was still surprised by Wang Buli's casual method.

According to Li Jinglong, this son may really have the potential to become prime minister, but we have already made plans to abolish him!
