Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 341 Isn't our death fulfilling your wish?

Several new shops have opened on Gulou Street.

One is called Jinling Stock Exchange, and the other is called Jinling Bank.

Common people have no interest in that exchange, because the things inside are too expensive. The starting price of a piece of paper is 100 taels of silver, and it is hard to say how much they can buy in the end.

Relatively speaking, Jinling Bank is much better.As long as you go in with copper coins, you can exchange them for beautifully crafted grandchildren's money and grandpa's money, and there is no limit!
This made many ordinary people ecstatic, and they stood at the door early in the morning with sacks on their backs, for fear that all the good money would be exchanged by others.

The copper coins of Ming Dynasty are very mixed. Except for a small amount of Hongwu Tongbao, there are a lot of copper coins of Yuan Dynasty and Song Dynasty mixed in, and even Kaiyuan Tongbao of Tang Dynasty are in circulation.

Fortunately, this thing is a metal currency, and the property of its currency value is determined by its metal properties.

Therefore, there is no situation where depreciation does not depreciate.

It's just that some iron coins and lead coins are of poor quality, and people will dislike them or even discount them when buying things.

But basically it will not be rejected.

Because folk copper coins have never been rich since ancient times, they have always been in a state of money shortage and half money shortage.

As long as the copper coins made by the imperial court are not too outrageous, ordinary people will pinch their noses to recognize them.

Even if it is lead money and iron money, as long as it is beautifully made and the handwriting is legible, ordinary traders will not reject it.

Relatively speaking, the Xuanwu Lake commemorative coin launched by Zhu Yunxi is simply the king of the coin world.

Not to mention the high copper content, the production is also very exquisite, and no one else can imitate it.

It's just that before Zhu Yunxi was just an ordinary emperor's grandson, he was embarrassed to mint coins with great fanfare, and he always did it in a half-covered and sneaky manner.

Now that he is the grandson of the emperor, he immediately put this matter on the agenda.

Regardless of whether the bank can improve Daming's economy, first exchange all of Daming's miscellaneous copper coins, and put his imprint of Zhu Yunxi on it, which is enough for him to be smug.

Zhu Yunxi's little thoughtfulness is a great grace at the level of the common people, enabling them to justifiably follow the opportunity to grab the emperor's grandson's wool.

Therefore, as soon as the gate of Jinling Bank opened, enthusiastic people pushed each other to squeeze in.

Because the people were so enthusiastic that the bank staff couldn't stop them at all. It wasn't until Jin Yiwei came forward to maintain order that the people became orderly.

Everyone lined up to enter the hall, and saw that there were more than a dozen windows inside, and they were suddenly relieved.

It seems that the emperor's grandson has prepared enough copper coins this time, so don't worry about not being able to exchange them.

Liu Neng was also in the line for copper coins.

Originally, it would have been fine to send a buddy over for such a trivial matter, but Liu Neng was worried about others and was afraid that the buddy would fool him, so he came here early in the morning to line up.

It's just that he came too late, and when he was in line, there were already dozens of people standing in front of him.

Fortunately, the hall is spacious, and there are many window counters, as long as you persist for a while, you can line up.

Sure enough, after Liu Neng had waited for a long time, a window was vacated.

Liu Neng saw that the man had only a dozen new coins in his hand, and a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.

With just a few copper coins, why come here early in the morning and line up?

When it was Liu Neng's turn, he boldly put a large bag of copper coins on the scale and called the bank clerk to weigh it.

He saw it clearly when he was just at the door. Here, a large number of copper coins are exchanged by direct weighing.

Liu Neng was very satisfied with this, and even a little secretly happy.

Because the copper coins he brought were very mixed, and there were a lot of iron coins and lead coins in them. If they were exchanged according to their weight, then he would take advantage of it.

Just as Liu Neng was happily waiting for the money to be exchanged, the bank clerk opened his sack, grabbed a handful of copper coins from it, and looked at it.

"Guest officer, your copper coins are no good. There are too many iron coins and lead coins mixed in. You have to pick them out and weigh them again."

"We don't accept lead money or iron money."

When Liu Neng heard this, he blew up on the spot, pointing at the guy angrily and growling.

"Why don't you accept it!"

"When I sell goods, I take them as serious copper coins. Why don't you want them here?"

"Guest officer, this is the emperor's grandson's rule, it's no use yelling at me!"

"Furthermore, your iron and lead coins don't contain any copper, so it's useless if we change them!"

"Is the grandson of the emperor..."

As soon as Liu Neng heard that it was the emperor's grandson's order, he immediately frightened on the spot. It's not that he was afraid of power.

In fact, everything that involves making a living involves making money.Not to mention the grandson of the emperor, even the emperor Laozi is in front, he dares to complain a few words.

However, now the emperor's grandson has too much prestige among their merchants, and has been worshiped as a living bodhisattva.

After all, since ancient times, which emperor has looked at these lowly merchants?

Not only did the emperor's grandson not dislike them, but he also held a meeting for them and answered their questions in person, which can be said to have given them enough face and face.

If he dared to deny the emperor's grandson's government order, the merchants on this street could beat him to death without Jin Yiwei.

"Then choose..."

"But hurry up, I have to go next door to buy securities soon!"

Hearing this, the man gave Liu Neng a high look.

It is said that the entry threshold for the stock exchange next door is 1 taels of silver.

Can't you tell that this wretched middle-aged man in front of you is actually a rich man?
"Sir, our bank has launched a big account system. You can become a big customer of our bank as long as you deposit 1 taels of silver in our bank, and enjoy the privileges of exchanging money anytime, anywhere, making an appointment to withdraw money, exchanging money, unlimited time, unlimited amount, etc.! "

Liu Neng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It is true that he is a miser, but he is also an official fan!

If it weren't for the poor family background, he could only earn money as a businessman. Who wouldn't want to dress up in official uniforms and hats to glorify their ancestors!

Therefore, as soon as Liu Neng heard the word "privilege", he immediately forgot the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly asked his buddy to type it up.

"Tell us in detail, what is this privilege?"

After the clerk explained the privileges of big households to Liu Neng, Liu Neng made a reservation on the spot without even stumbling.

"Isn't it just 1 taels of silver? We'll order someone to deliver it later!"

"What's more, you guys here also support withdrawal at any time, and interest will be returned..."

The boy was very happy to see Liu Neng being so straightforward, and hurriedly helped him handle the exchange business, as if he was afraid that this person would go back on his word.

Because according to the bank's regulations, they will be rewarded for attracting large depositors.

When Liu Neng was handling the exchange and deposit business, some people in the crowd queuing outside the door were also constantly explaining the bank's policies to them.

Lin Ahuan is one of them.

Since Lin Ahuan fled famine to the capital with her parents, she entered the Hope School within a few days.

She cherishes this hard-won opportunity very much, and studies by herself in the middle of the night every day.

The hard work paid off. It took her only half a year to complete the two-year course taught by others, and she knew more than 2000 words, becoming a veritable elementary school bully in the class.

This time, the school received an order from the emperor's grandson, saying that the newly opened yamen was short of people, so some students were recruited to help, each with a daily subsidy of [-] Wen, and she was the first to apply.

In fact, her family is not short of money now, whether it is her father Lin Rongyi or mother Zhang Niang, they can earn a lot of copper coins every month.

But when she thought of making money and helping her parents subsidize the family, she was excited, feeling that she could finally do something for the family.

After Lin Ahuan signed up, he officially took up the job after only three short days of training.

Fortunately, things are not difficult to do, just introduce the bank's regulations and systems to others, and then preach about preferential policies and the like.

There are not many words in total, and she memorized them all by heart on the first day.

"Uncle, let me tell you about the benefits of our bank."

"Our bank can not only exchange copper coins and silver coins, but also deposit and withdraw money, and send money to other places!"

"And, as long as you deposit more than 1 taels, there will be no handling fee for withdrawing from other places..."

Lin Ahuan tried his best to introduce, and after being rejected by ten people in succession, he finally caught an interested person.

"Little girl, what do you mean by withdrawing money from another place?"

"Greetings to this uncle!"

"Returning to Uncle, withdrawing money in other places means that you have deposited money in Jinling Bank. When you go to other places to do business in the future, you can withdraw money in other places and use it directly. You don't need to travel back and forth, and you don't need to carry money around."

Zhang Bin nodded and said.

"Oh, so that's the case, this is good governance!"

Zhang Bin came to find out the reality of the bank, so as to prepare for the impeachment of the emperor's grandson.

After listening to Lin Ahhuan's introduction, he suddenly discovered that the bank turned out to be a rare kind of good government.

It's just that I don't know what the follow-up will be like. If there are no restrictions on withdrawing money and people's property is not sought, then it is really a good thing.

"Uncle, are you interested in depositing money in our bank?"

"Not only does our bank not charge storage fees when depositing money, but it also gives you a certain amount of interest every month, which is very cost-effective!"

Zhang Bin laughed when he heard the words.

"I'll talk about this later. The old man came here today just to have a look. If there is a need in the future, I will ask you again!"

"Oh……"

Lin Ahuan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, but still said goodbye to Zhang Bin very politely, and went to introduce the next customer.

There are many people like her outside Jinling Bank, all of whom are temporary workers recruited from the senior grades of Hope Academy.

Looking at the back of Lin Ahuan bouncing away, Zhang Bin thought to himself, can hiring girls and immorality be used as articles of impeachment?
However, this idea only turned around in his head before he dismissed it.

At this stage, the method of the emperor's grandson is a bit too superb, not only he can't understand it, but even the senior officials of the court can't understand it.

Stock exchanges, banks...

This is something they have never heard of!

Relatively speaking, the bank is okay, after all, there are some similar shops on the market.

However, those silver cabinets only keep the money on behalf of them. Instead of interest, they charge a storage fee!

If you want to transport silver to other places, you also need to charge a freight and insurance fee, and hire an escort to transport it.

But when he came to the emperor's grandson, instead of taking money, he returned money to the depositors. Could this be a scam?

First cheat the people's money into the bank, and then after a few years, the bank will be closed, and all the people's money will not come back?

Zhang Bin's worry is not unreasonable, and even many ordinary people are also worried.

Therefore, no matter how hard Lin Ahhuan lobbied, few people would be tempted.

Because since ancient times, the lower limit of the government has not been high, and cheating and abducting are considered gentle, and it is normal to take by force.Relatively speaking, an imperial court like the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty was considered good to the common people.

At the very least, after the common people paid taxes to the court and served hard labor, the emperor really didn't bother you.

Zhang Bin was not alone. In the queue, there were many officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and some officials from the Dali Temple.

They all came to find out the facts and prepare for the next step of "persuading" the emperor's grandson.

Besides them, there is a group of people with ulterior motives.

For example, Qin Wang Zhu Shuang, Yan Wang Zhu Di, Zhou Wang Zhu Wei and others.

Of course they didn't dare to go to Beijing themselves, but after hearing that their eldest nephew was doing very well here, they still sent their housekeepers and shopkeepers to watch the fun.

It's just that Zhu Yunxie's technique was too high, completely surpassing this era, and the housekeepers and shopkeepers they sent out watched the excitement, and couldn't see clearly what medicine Zhu Yunxie was selling in the gourd.

Han Qing was also lining up in the crowd, listening attentively to Lin Ahuan's introduction.

Compared with the ignorance of others, he already understood a little.

The emperor's grandson is short of money!

The grandson of the emperor wants to do many great things!
Therefore, in order to attract people to save money, the emperor's grandson will give depositors a certain amount of interest.

This is a borrowing in disguise!

But can the emperor's grandson afford it?

As far as he knew, the old emperor had never entrusted him with the power of the government. The only thing he could directly manage was the Songjiang Mansion.

Thinking of this, Han Qing decided to save 1 taels first, to see what kind of "big" method the big family has, and what privileges they have.

By the way, go inside the bank to have a look. If the opportunity is right, find a way to rob the bank!
As long as the people hear that the money in the bank has been robbed, they will definitely flock to withdraw the money.

At that time, if the emperor's grandson can't pay, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people and the old emperor.

In this way, wouldn't that trash Zhu Yunqi have a chance?
Han Qing had long since given up doing things while Zhu Tuhu was alive, and even felt a little scared about Zhu Yunxie.

Although he has never been in contact with Zhu Yunxie, he has heard a lot about Zhu Yunxie.

Yang Fan dared to go out to sea to kill Japanese pirates at the age of 12, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing!

In addition, in just one year, he has developed three major industries: Sanwei Bookstore, Minggang, and Coal Balls, and there are countless novelty workshops under his name, all of which are quite remarkable achievements.

When everyone at the gate of Jinling Bank had different thoughts, the instigator here left the palace early in the morning, and followed the emperor's grandfather and a group of princes and grandchildren to Zhongshan outside the city.

Today is May [-]th, the anniversary of the death of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao.

Compared with last year's funeral, the scale of the worship service this time was much smaller. There were only dozens of officials from the Wenhua Palace, plus Shangshu, Shilang, Jiuqing, and some relatives of the emperor.

To put it simply, he is not someone the old emperor can look up to, and he is not qualified to come to pay homage.

For example, Princess Ningguo, the eldest daughter of the emperor, and Mei Yin, the son-in-law, are the members of the royal family that Lao Zhu values ​​most, and they must be present for this matter today.

Another example is that the big members of the Chang family are real relatives of the prince Zhu Biao, so there is no reason not to come.

In addition, only Feng Sheng and Fu Youde participated in the honorable family.

Because the two bear the title of Sangong, they are the prince's nominal masters.

In fact, Tang He was also qualified to come, but his legs were too uncomfortable, so Lao Zhu didn't let him bother.

Lao Zhu personally put a stick of incense on the prince Zhu Biao's seat, and then gave up the position of the chief priest.

This is his intention to praise his grandson and let him go through the rest of the process for him.

Zhu Yunxue lived up to expectations, held the sacrificial ceremony meticulously, and led Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxue to the grave in the back mountain, and symbolically filled Zhu Biao's grave with a few shovels of soil to show his sincerity and filial piety.

Seeing that Dasun was busy with all this, Lao Zhu ordered the others to return to Beijing, while he led Dasun to an unfinished cemetery.

The main building of the cemetery has been basically completed, and the underground palace has been excavated long ago. Even the dragon-breaking stone has been installed. It is only waiting for the owner here to come in and put down the dragon-breaking stone to use it.

Only the buildings such as Minglou and Xiangdian above the cemetery are still under construction.

However, they are all the details of some carved beams and painted buildings.

If the construction period is accelerated, it is expected to be fully completed in about half a year.

Lao Zhu led the eldest grandson into the underground palace, pointed to a coffin in the middle and said.

"This is your imperial grandmother's coffin, go pay your respects!"

"promise!"

Since it was not a formal worship, Zhu Yunxi did not burn incense or paper, but bowed towards Empress Ma's coffin, and then respectfully kowtowed three times.

"Grandma Huang, grandson Zhu Yunxi kowtows to you!"

"Where you are, you must bless the emperor's grandfather in good health, and live another hundred and eighty years..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was a little moved, feeling that his grandson was still filial to him.

However, after hearing what Zhu Yunxi said later, he was so angry that his old face turned black.

"However, if you really miss Grandpa Huang, you can also beat him in your dreams."

"Give him a reminder, let him pay attention to his body, don't run to the harem if there is nothing to do..."

"Returning the Night to the Three Daughters..."

Lao Zhu couldn't bear it any longer, rushed up and covered Ni Sun's mouth, and dragged him out of the underground palace.

Lao Zhu dragged Zhu Yunxi outside, pressed him to the ground and hammered him.

"You rebellious grandson, can you say such things in the underground palace!"

"You don't know your grandma Ma's temper. If she really heard those words, she would really dare to settle accounts with us at night!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed when he heard the words.

"Who told you not to pay attention to your body!"

"Dr. Hao has already told his grandson that at your age, you should abstain from sex, sex, and alcohol, keep your kidneys hydrated, recharge your energy, and don't always go to the harem..."

Old Zhu scolded angrily when he heard the words.

"That's not your turn!"

"Furthermore, isn't our death fulfilling your wish, and you can ascend the throne as soon as possible to be emperor!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he felt a little regretful in his heart, feeling that he had spoken too harshly, and was afraid that this Nisun would not be able to bear it.

When he saw the expression on Dasun's face darken, he felt even more distressed.

However, just when he wanted to change his words and comfort Nisun with a few words of the truth, he saw Nisun's tightly locked brows suddenly relaxed.

"Grandfather, grandson thinks what you said makes sense."

"Grandson returns to Beijing this time, and I will personally draft for you, and call all the beauties from all over the world to serve you in the palace!"
