Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Xia Yuanji left the note and left.

Zhu Gaoxu was left alone, sitting behind the imperial case and looking at the papers in a daze.

He flipped through a few brochures at random, and the contents were quite simple.

Most of them were due to Zhu Laosi's personal expedition and the information about the allocation of money, food and materials for the Northern Expedition.

The cabinet bachelor has already given draft opinions, and Zhu Gaoxu only needs to sign and seal it.

Zhu Di established a cabinet for the simple reason that he was too tired to bear it.

Before the Ming Dynasty, the role of the prime minister always existed.

Perhaps there were different titles and numbers in different periods, but this functional department that assisted the emperor in handling various affairs was always indispensable.

However, during the period of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to strengthen the imperial power, he took advantage of the great opportunity to eliminate the Prime Minister Hu Weiyong to completely abolish the Zhongshu Province, abolishing the prime minister system that had been passed down for thousands of years in one fell swoop.

The prime minister was deposed, and the imperial power of Lao Zhu's family was strengthened.

However, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no prime minister, and there were still so many state affairs that needed to be handled every day, which did not decrease because of the cancellation of the Zhongshu Province.

It turns out that all the government affairs of the six ministries were consolidated into the Zhongshu Province, and the prime minister led this agency to handle them in different categories.

Only major matters will be submitted to the emperor for decision-making.

However, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew the Zhongshu Province. Without the auxiliary department of the Zhongshu Province led by the Prime Minister, all the workload had to be borne by him as the emperor.

All matters in the Sixth Department were reported directly to him, which doubled the workload of the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang and turned him into a model worker.

After Zhu Laosi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, how could this war madman have the time and energy to handle so many government affairs, so he established a cabinet.

At the beginning, the cabinet consisted of seven people, including Huang Huai and Yang Rong. They were all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy and were always with the emperor to handle affairs.

With such an efficient team, Zhu Di could finally take a break from the heavy work and concentrate on the battle to Mobei.

I have to admit that Huang Huai, Yang Rong and other seven cabinet ministers still have real talents and knowledge. These Ministry of Household records in front of him have given appropriate opinions on how to deal with them. Zhu Gaoxu only needs to sign and seal them, and there is no need for him to think about what to do. deal with.

On the contrary, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War's plans are much more troublesome.

The Ministry of Industry was responsible for the weapons and equipment of the Northern Expedition, including muskets, war horses, cannon, gunpowder, swords and guns, etc.

The Ministry of War needs to deduce the march route of the Northern Expedition and make corresponding arrangements in a timely manner.

Of course, the cabinet has opinions on how to deal with these things, and they are all decisions made after consultation by giants like them, so basically there will be no problems.

In other words, what Zhu Gaoxu, the Han prince who oversees the country, needs to do is to be a tool for reviewing, signing, and sealing.

As for his real mission, there is only one, and that is to make money!

Xia Yuanji cried poverty to him again today, hinting to him overtly and covertly that the treasury is out of money again, and you, the Han prince who oversees the country, should find ways to make money...

Although Zhu Gaoxu understood his hint, even he couldn't do things like making money just as he wanted!

Even if you have to cut leeks, you have to let wealthy businessmen like Wang Fuguang earn some money. You can't just cut them every three to five days!

What's more, the next tasting meeting will auction the right to sell new salt from various places and determine the salt dealer for tomorrow. The impact will be extremely far-reaching.

Zhu Gaoxu would not cut another wave of leeks at this juncture, but would instead affect the layout of the new salt law!

So, how to make money?

Now he is not in the mood to deal with government affairs, and all he can think about is two words.

Make money!

Find ways to make money!

And he also wants to get money from that thief Zhu Laosi!

This thief put all the gold, silver and silk in the inner treasure room and piled them up to become moldy. He is simply a huge fool!

The lifeblood of the economy lies in circulation!

If you pile up those gold and silver treasures and let them grow moldy, society will lose a large amount of currency. How can the Ming Dynasty's economy develop?

Once the current currency is out of circulation, more circulating currency must be issued, which is the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote!

If this happens several times, it will cause the currency that has stopped circulating to enter the circulation field. The result is currency devaluation and rising prices. The most serious result is that the currency becomes waste paper and the people use Daming Bao banknotes to wipe their butts...

Zhu Di’s little treasury!

Ming Dynasty treasure banknote!

Make money!

After holding his chin and thinking deeply for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes flashed.

Perhaps, that is a great idea!

Thinking of this, His Highness the King of Han stood up immediately and shouted: Someone, go and invite the Crown Prince!

In addition, all officials above the fifth rank in the capital will be summoned by this king, and an impromptu court meeting will be held in half an hour!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Impromptu court meeting?

What does it mean?

What kind of monster does His Highness the King of Han want to be?

Although everyone did not understand what His Highness the King of Han wanted to do, they knew in their hearts that something big was going to happen.

Otherwise, would the Prince of Han, the Supervisor of the Kingdom, have summoned all the officials in Beijing to hold an impromptu court meeting with such great fanfare?

Soon after hearing the news, the prince trotted over. When he saw Zhu Gaoxu, he was sweating profusely and panting.

Hey...Boy, what happened?

Big Fatty asked anxiously while breathing heavily.

On the first day after the old man's imperial conquest, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, the second-in-command suddenly ordered an impromptu court meeting and summoned all the civil and military officials in Beijing.

Something big has obviously happened!

So Zhu Gaochi didn't have time to think too much, and immediately trotted to Qianqing Palace.

What he didn't expect was that Zhu Gaoxu, the bastard, was lying down leisurely and taking a nap.

Well, boss, you're here? It's a big deal. I can't make up my mind on my own, so I want to ask you to make a decision!

With that said, Zhu Gaoxu handed the plan he just drafted to Big Pangpang.

The prince was stunned, suppressed the anger in his heart, took the plan and started to read it.

However, within a moment, Big Fatty's expression suddenly changed. His face was frighteningly cold and even slightly pale.

Second brother, is everything you say in this plan true? Will the Ming Dynasty treasure money turn into a pile of waste paper in the end?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and said: Zhou Chen has already mentioned the issue of treasure notes to me, and I have noticed it, but I have been busy with other things before, and I only have time to deal with it now.

Boss, it's very clear in the plan. If we don't save it, the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes will become a complete joke. Not to mention being used as currency, the people will be embarrassed if they use it to wipe their butts!

Big Fatty: “???”

What?

Wipe your ass?

Wipe your butt with treasure money?

That's a Ming Dynasty treasure note!

At that time, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took into account the national financial situation at that time and spent several years preparing for the issuance of treasure banknotes. Once issued, it successfully solved the need for huge financial expenditures in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It can be called a major national policy of the Ming Dynasty!

Second brother, think of a way quickly. Once the treasure banknotes collapse, the Ming Dynasty's finances will also collapse!

It's not a big problem. You can use this thing as toilet paper to wipe your butt...
