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

Chapter 220 Zhu Gaoxu: Look directly at me, you bastard!

Latest website:

Daming Bank is officially opened!

Because of the full example of the officials and the personal assurance of the Han prince, the people of the imperial capital completely let down their guard.

For several days in a row, the bank's birthday celebration was extremely popular, with countless ordinary people and merchants coming to exchange and deposit money every day.

In particular, the vast majority of people exchanged treasure banknotes, and even the people near Gyeonggi Province rushed over after hearing the news.

After all, this treasure note is just a flimsy piece of paper, and the people already lack trust in him.

As a result, the imperial court continued to introduce policies to force the people to use the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, which actually aroused their rebellious psychology.

Now that the Ming Dynasty Bank has opened, it is possible to exchange treasure banknotes into gold, silver and copper coins of equal amounts. The people are overjoyed.

How can this flimsy piece of paper be as solid as gold, silver, and copper coins?

Qianqing Palace, Nuange.

The King of Han Dynasty held a court meeting, and the only attendees were cabinet bachelors, six ministries and nine ministers and other important ministers.

After everyone arrived, Zhu Gaoxu did not discuss business directly, but stared at Yang Rong with strange eyes.

Yang Mianren, can't you tell that you have secretly been corrupt and bribed so much money?

Yang Rong had just walked into Nuan Pavilion. When he heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees on the ground.

Your Highness the King of Han, I, this old minister...are all being tempted...

Zhu Gaoxu looked at this famous Sanyang Xianxiang with cold eyes, wishing he could go up and give him a big mouth.

No wonder Yang Rong has been suppressed by Huskies all his life. The chief minister of the cabinet in the Zhu Di era, the bachelor Yang Rong, who was both civil and military and had a good reputation, actually went from the first in command to the second in command of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. Problems unexpectedly emerged. here!

The three Yang Xianxiangs created the rule of Renxuan, so they are often compared together. Needless to mention the cautious Nan Yang Yang Pu, the West Yang Huskies and Dong Yang Yang Rong have naturally become the focus of comparison.

In terms of background, Yang Rong came from a scholarly and official family, and his family was deeply loved and supported by his neighbors. However, Husky was poor since he was a child and lost two of his fathers. Later, he even had to earn a meager salary by traveling and giving lectures to support his family.

In terms of cards, Yang Rongxiang's Jie Yuan was ranked third in the general examination, second in the second class in the imperial examination, and passed the Jinshi. .

In terms of qualifications, Yang Rong followed Zhu Di in many civil and military campaigns, while Yang Shiqi was only a probationary officer next to the prince in the Yongle Dynasty.

In terms of age, Yang Rong is six years younger than Yang Shiqi, which is a huge advantage in age.

However, throughout his life, Yang Rong was suppressed by Husky, and in the end he even had to rely on Yang Shiqi to plead for mercy to avoid prison.

This guy really deserves it!

I have to admit that Yang Rong has great talents, is alert and knowledgeable by nature, and is good at observing words and emotions.

He has been in the cabinet for thirty-eight years. He is capable of planning and making decisions, is mature and prudent, and is especially good at planning border defense affairs. Historically, he is said to be flexible with power and able to make decisive decisions when encountering problems. He has been compared to Yao Chong of the Tang Dynasty, who used military strategy. See the importance.

However, the wise prime minister Yao Chong took non-corruption as a treasure and took honesty and prudentness as a teacher throughout his life. He managed his family frugally and lived a very frugal life. He only received the dead salary from the court and did not receive any more gray income, so that He could not afford a house in the urban area of ​​​​the capital, so his family had to live in a suburb farther away from the imperial court.

Comparing this to Yang Rong and Yang Mianren to Yao Chong is simply to discredit Li Tangxian!

When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu walked forward slowly, grabbed Yang Rong's lapel, and shouted coldly: Look directly at me, you bastard!

Yang Rong was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, trembling and looked at Prince Han.

The prince of Han went berserk, but the prince couldn't stop him!

Xia Yuanji and other giants sighed when they saw this.

Yang Rong's corruption was well known to both the government and the public, but he was the most popular person around the emperor, so no one dared to mention it.

But now, the emperor is on the northern expedition to Oara, and the king of Han is supervising the country and governing the country, and he is a lawless master. Yang Mianren is afraid that he will suffer.

Jin Zhong opened his mouth and was about to step forward to plead for Yang Rong. After all, although this son had bad conduct, he did have great talents and could not be abandoned by the Prince of Han.

However, when he was about to step forward, he was grabbed by Xia Yuanji.

Jade is not cut, not a device!

Hearing this, Jin Zhong was startled and then gave up the idea.

Zhu Gaoxu glared at Yang Rong with cold eyes and threatened unabashedly: The Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will keep a close eye on you in the future. I don't want you to become the first important court official to be investigated after the new anti-corruption law is implemented!

I understand that I will be honest and self-sufficient in the future...

Yang Rong didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately patted his chest and assured himself that he was almost scared to death by the terrifying appearance of King Han.

You, Yang Zirong, are deeply favored by the emperor, and you were given the name Yang Rong by the emperor himself. If you are finally investigated for corruption and you lose the emperor's face, the old man will kill your whole family. I don't know, but I will let you You will kill everyone in your family, and then ask the historian to carve a monument and write a biography for you, and completely nail you Yang Rong to the pillar of historical shame!

Yang Rong: !!!

Numb!

Completely numb!

The King of Han's methods are so sinister and vicious!

Literary men all want to have a good reputation, and they also hope to leave a name in history.

But the vicious method of the Han prince can be regarded as making Yang Rong legendary in history, but it is just an infamy that will last forever!

Thinking of those horrific scenes, Yang Rong's eyes suddenly shed two lines of tears.

Prince Han, I know my mistake. I really know my mistake...

You, Yang Rong, have both literary and military skills, but you are Li Tangxian's prime minister, Yao Chong. I hope you will follow his example in the future and not embarrass the emperor again!

Zhu Gaoxu sighed and let go of Yang Rong.

He originally planned to send this guy to study abroad, but Yang Rong was different from Husky.

Husky has political wisdom and a view of the overall situation, and can take charge overseas, but Yang Rong cannot. His vision and skills are too far apart.

This kind of person can be a deputy and cannot stand alone. Instead of letting him study abroad, it is better to keep him around and train him.

After tapping Yang Rong, Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked at Xia Yuanji.

Old Xia Tou, tell me, how is the situation at the bank?

Thanks to the court's vigorous publicity, bank business is extremely booming. More and more people are opening accounts to save money, and many merchants have even begun to handle loan business.

Xia Yuanji has been paying attention to the bank's projects during this period and knows the bank's situation well.

But Your Highness the King of Han, most merchants exchange treasure banknotes for gold, silver and copper coins. During this period alone, bank reserves have consumed a large amount. This is not conducive to us stabilizing the value of treasure banknotes. I would like to ask Your Highness whether new banknotes will be started. use?

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

It is not surprising that ordinary merchants exchanged treasure notes for gold, silver and copper coins. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

After all, Ming Dynasty banknotes have always had a bad reputation. Now that they can be exchanged for silver coins, the common people and merchants are eager to exchange them all.

Now is not the time. Don't worry about bank reserves. We have made sufficient preparations in the early stage. If they want to exchange for precious notes, let them exchange it. This will also help push silver into the market.

When the treasure banknotes on the market are almost recycled, then the new Ming Dynasty banknotes will be issued through the bank, and they can be directly exchanged for deposit certificates.

Based on the trust formed in the previous transactions, the bank just changed the certificate, and the common people and merchants were naturally able to accept it. This is much more effective than the court directly discovering the new banknotes.

When the giants heard this, they all nodded subconsciously.

Issuing new banknotes through banks is really a stroke of genius.

In the past, the imperial court issued treasure banknotes, but due to insufficient preparation, the treasure banknotes continued to depreciate in value and were not recognized by the people.

Now that the bank has gained the recognition of the people one step ahead of schedule, it will naturally be more conducive for the bank to issue new banknotes into the market until it becomes a mainstream currency.

After all, once there are too many gold, silver, and copper coins, they will be too heavy to carry for long distances.

As long as the value of the new banknote is stabilized, its convenience will be reflected and it will gradually become the same mainstream currency as gold, silver and copper coins!

Gu Zuo and Jian Yi selected direct ministers to form an inspection team to inspect and review bank accounts. Once corruption is discovered, they will be severely punished.

Xia Yuanji and Song Li are starting to build the next batch of banks, tentatively targeting the prefectures in Southern Zhili!

Hearing this, the ministers were shocked.

South Zhili has a prosperous economy, with the highest taxation in the country, and each prefecture is a place where merchants and merchants gather with a large population.

Once banks are spread all over southern Zhili and start operating normally, it will greatly stimulate economic development, and Ming Dynasty will usher in an economic boom!
