Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 449 Issuing Silver Coins to Cooperate with the Circulation of Copper Coins and Silver Copper to Replace Precious Banknotes

Chen Xiang replied: "The Marquis of Huichang only said that he had heard that the Empress Dowager Sun planned to seize the palace's son at the beginning of the second year of Xuande, but he did not tell the specific process, nor did he provide strong evidence."

Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Investigate thoroughly, we must investigate thoroughly, I want to know the truth."

Chen Xiang quickly persuaded: "My lord, we can't investigate thoroughly, once the city is full of troubles, but in the end it is found that the rumors are false, wouldn't it hurt the mother-child relationship between the lord and the empress dowager.

If the rumors are true, then the status of the emperor's son-in-law will be completely shaken, how will the emperor deal with himself then? "

Zhu Qizhen said angrily: "According to what you mean, even if I am really the son of the imperial concubine, I still have to pretend I don't know, and grit my teeth and recognize the queen mother as my biological mother?"

"My lord, please take the overall situation into consideration."

Chen Xiang knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and tearfully dissuaded him.

So Zhu Qizhen hesitated again, the Tian family has no family ties, how can he act on his will, and lose the big because of the small.

Chen Xiang continued to persuade: "My lord, think about it, the emperor insisted on adopting himself under the name of Empress Hu when his biological mother was still alive.

Once you get to the bottom of it, you will be completely defeated in the dispute between the concubine and the concubine. "

With Chen Xiang's persuasion, Zhu Qizhen completely woke up.

Zhu Qizhen closed his eyes and sighed heavily: "You go down first, I want to be quiet."

……

After several major cases were concluded, the Imperial Horse Supervisor lifted the martial law, and the imperial city regained its calm.

The empress dowager's personal freedom was completely restricted, and the emperor Gongrang also lived in a secluded palace without any further actions.

The government and the opposition are completely opposite, but they are in a mess.

Civil and military officials were panicked and argued endlessly.

In the capital, rumors are flying all over the sky, and the people are talking endlessly in the streets and alleys.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care about it at all, let the public opinion ferment, and only played with the concubines every day, and at the same time recharged his energy, waiting for the vassal king to enter the capital.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

June 21.

It was almost noon, Zhu Qiyu got up and read a book on the soft couch.Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang nestled in Zhu Qiyu's arms, acting like a baby.

Just when you were talking to me, two little girls, Qianxue and Suxi, each held a jade box, bouncing back into the room from outside.

I don't know what was contained in the jade box, and there was a clear and crisp sound.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What kind of treasure are these two young ladies holding, I see you are happy."

Qianxue smiled and said: "Husband, let's make a guess. If you guess wrong, you have to bow to my servant and shout: Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old Empress Jade Concubine Wanfu Jinan."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Listen to this voice, it can't be silver coins?"

Qianxue was shocked when she heard the words: "This was secretly created by the slave bank, why did my husband know?"

Zhu Qiyu spread out his hands: "When I first came to the throne, I said that I would mint silver coins and copper coins to replace the banknotes of Qudebao, and circulate them all over the world for the convenience of all people.

It is estimated that the two of you are paying attention, so you took the initiative to customize the silver coin style without my asking. "

Qianxue praised after hearing the words: "My husband is really amazing, no wonder he kicked He Yi aside, and instead, he learned how to dance like Guo Jia all day long.

Don't mention it, your husband really has two skills, and he is not completely ignorant and arrogant. "

Zhu Qiyu called Zhuang Tianqu immediately: "You little lady, why do you speak so badly, why did I kick He Yi away?
Obviously it was Xu Wan who taught me how to do things all day long, and when I arranged some errands for He Yi, she wrote and scolded me.

This is also the first time I have seen a woman who loves a man so much.

I have no choice but to work on my own. "

Lin Xiangyu teased from the side: "Whenever a woman is pregnant, she hopes that her husband will always be by her side.

You know that Xu Wan is pregnant, but you still want to order He Yi around, can Xu Wan stop scolding you? "

Zhu Qiyu smiled innocently: "The mountains and rivers in the western suburbs really nourish people. My mother-in-law, my mother-in-law, and Xu Wan are all pregnant one after another. It will be very lively next year."

Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "Xu Xian is the most pitiful among them, a good son, the next generation of An Guogong, he can see his wife's face at home, and his sister's face.

Both of them were pregnant, and he couldn't afford to mess with either of them.Especially Xu Wan, Duke An dotes on this little daughter more than your husband dotes on Ningxiang. "

"Hey, man, life is hard. Come, come, open the jade box, and let me see what the silver coins look like."

Qianxue first opened the jade box in her hand and held it over.

Zhu Qiyu took a closer look and saw more than ten silver coins inside.After taking out one for a closer look, he was taken aback.

The obverse of the silver coin is good, still with complicated patterns, setting off the words Jingtai Tongbao in the middle.

It's just that on the back of the silver coin is the portrait of his favorite concubine Xian'er.After all, the Inner Court Bank Bureau is not just for dry food, it portrays Xian'er vividly.

Zhu Qiyu took out other silver coins to watch, sure enough, all the favorite concubines got a share.

Fifteen favorite concubines, including myself, a total of sixteen portraits and sixteen coins.

Qianxue explained with a smile: "This silver coin weighs one tael, and the Silver Bureau has designed very complicated patterns to increase the difficulty of folk forgery.

The fifteen coins with our portraits on them are just flattery for us and kept as souvenirs.

The ones with the husband's portrait are the ones that will be distributed on a large scale.Husband, do you have any suggestions for revision? "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Who is in charge of the Banking Bureau now? Even the widows are ashamed of this flattering skill. This guy has a future, and sooner or later he will become a success."

Qianxue smiled and said: "This man's name is Yu Jing, he was originally the supervisor in charge of the imperial court, and he was appointed by the slave to be the bureau of printing and silver."

"Strange, but he is a stranger. What specialties does this person have?"

"There are always some people in the capital who want to avoid corvee and get rich by chance, but they happen to have several sons in their family, so they will eunuch one or two of them and send them to the palace.

Unfortunately, this stall has such cruel parents.

Later, during the orthodox period, Yu Jing entered the inner court, and when he was a little proud, his father came to cling to him.

Yu Jing first ordered his confidant eunuch to beat his father through the curtain, cursing and saying, "How can you bear to eunuch?"
After the beating, he went to the hall to call himself father, hugged and wept.

Yu Jing's behavior is both dumbfounding and bitter.

The slave family felt that he had a sense of affection and a clear distinction between love and hate, so they looked at him differently, so they gave him a chance to experience and practice. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "The problem of private castration has to be completely solved, and it's not a problem to let the people fool around like this all the time."

Suxi opened another jade box, which also contained silver coins, similar in style, but much smaller and thinner.

Zhu Qiyu looked at it carefully and nodded again and again: "The big silver coin is one tael, and the small silver coin is one penny. One tael of silver is exchanged for one thousand copper coins, and one penny of silver is exchanged for one hundred copper coins.

In this way, the common people don't have to carry the scissors with them every day.

It's ridiculous to buy something and have to wring a piece of silver, and then weigh it.

Send the samples to the Ministry of Industry. Like copper coins, only the Ministry of Industry in Beijing will mint them in the future. Nanjing and other provinces are not allowed to mint them, lest someone mess around and tamper with silver coins.

Founded by the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Engineering, and supervised by the Inner Court Banking Bureau.Make it well, at least in our Jingtai Dynasty, it was not allowed to collect bullshit seigniorage on the issuance of silver coins and copper coins. "

Qianxue sighed after hearing the words: "My husband loves the people like a son, and he is a benevolent and wise king. Unfortunately, my husband's reputation is not as good as the Xuanmiao, which has been abandoned everywhere in anger. It's really unfair."
