King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Half a month later.

After several discussions in the court and after much consultation, the entire Ming Dynasty court's currency reform mechanism, all the details and other issues have been slowly finalized.

However, for the sake of safety, the policy was not expanded to the entire Ming Dynasty. Instead, the government planned to use Yingtian City as an experimental point to test whether the currency reform mechanism introduced by the court was reasonable and whether there were any areas that needed improvement or reform.

Of course, they also wanted to see a series of issues such as the degree of acceptance by the people of the world, so that if any problems were found, the court could determine whether there was anything wrong based on the degree of acceptance by the people and the expressions of the people.

It is also necessary to avoid problems that may arise during vigorous promotion, which may lead to mistakes made in a hurry and cause unnecessary trouble. At the same time, we are also afraid that some flaws may cause the people of the world to lose confidence in the reform mechanism that they have worked so hard to introduce, and a series of chain reactions will occur.

If something like that really happened, wouldn't it mean that all the court had put so much thought into it would become a joke in the true sense, and it would be a slap in the face.

On the day the agreement was reached, Zhu Gaoxu and the crown prince drafted the regulations and then issued a notice to inform the people living in the surrounding areas of Yingtian City.

All of a sudden, publicity for this matter spread like a swarm of locusts.

Regardless of whether it was the common people living around Yingtian City or the soldiers responsible for guarding the capital, all of them heard it and knew by heart the benefits of the court's implementation of this reform.

This move also completely aroused the curiosity of everyone around Yingtian City, and they all talked about it crazily with people around them.

"Did you hear that?"

"The bank was launched by the imperial court and is managed exclusively by the imperial court."

"It will be opened in Yingtianfu City the day after tomorrow."

"It can be stored and retrieved, which is extremely convenient."

"Not only that, we also offer current and fixed deposit methods. The court can return us corresponding interest and other benefits based on the deposit and withdrawal methods we choose."

"More than that"

"In addition to saving money, the money houses launched by the imperial court here can also borrow money from the imperial court, which can also be called loans."

“But if you want a loan, you need collateral.”

"besides."

"The court even said that if you deposit silver, you can withdraw silver, if you deposit treasure notes, you can withdraw treasure notes, you can also exchange silver for treasure notes, and so on and so forth."

to be frank.

This method is quite novel to the Ming Dynasty court and people today. It is almost a scene and method that they have never seen before.

This is what aroused the curiosity of many people.

At the same time, the people in the entire Yingtian City never dreamed that one day silver and treasure notes could be circulated interchangeably and could be exchanged for treasure notes or silver.

Of course, compared to these things, it is not to say that there were private money houses in the entire Ming Dynasty in the past. It’s just that compared with private money houses, now these are money houses launched by the court, and the level of trust here is naturally incomparable.

However, when something like this happens, naturally some people are happy and some are sad.

The common people were naturally happy, but the merchants who opened private banks were worried. Many of them were terrified by this, knowing how great an impact it would have on their personal interests if such a thing happened.

Many private bank merchants were frightened and they found each other almost at the same time to discuss the matter and work out countermeasures together, thinking about how to deal with the possible crisis.

at the same time
East Palace.

The prince's residence.

Upon receiving the news, the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji hurriedly ran in from the door, holding a copy of the notice posted on the street. Seeing the Crown Prince doing weight loss exercises in the backyard, he rushed over breathlessly and called out anxiously:

"father"

"Daddy"

"Oh no, oh no, something terrible has happened."

The panic-stricken behavior scared the prince who was exercising leisurely and he almost sprained his waist.

As a result, the prince, who originally had an unusually good expression, suddenly turned unfriendly. He slapped Zhu Zhanji, who had rashly approached him, and shouted angrily:
"Bastard thing."

"How many times do you need me to tell you? How many times do you need me to tell you?"

"I told you to not be so rash every time you do something, to stay calm in times of danger, not panic when things happen, and not show your fear when things change. Have you ignored all these words?"

"You are such a person who only cares about food and not about punishment. Your personality is exactly the same as your third uncle's."

"You were so reckless that I almost sprained my back. I don't know what to say to you."

Zhu Zhanji, who was scolded, reacted instantly and realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He couldn't help but smile a little awkwardly and scratched his head embarrassedly. Of course, when he came over, he naturally saw that because of his shouting, his father obviously dodged several times.

For this reason, even though he was beaten several times, he did not dare to argue at all. He lowered his head obediently and said with a smile:
"Yes Yes Yes"

"I know I was wrong."

"hey-hey."

"Are you okay?"

After hearing this, the prince glared at him in displeasure. He also knew what kind of person his son was, so he simply didn't bother to argue with him because he knew in his heart that it would be useless even if he did.

After all, he is my own son. It is impossible for me to punish him for this matter. It is also unrealistic. At most, I can just scold him a few words.

If he really dealt with him because of such a small matter, I'm afraid the Crown Princess wouldn't be able to handle it well and would come to deal with him.

In response to this, Zhu Gaochi simply sorted out his thoughts and waved his hand:

"Okay, stop pretending to care about me and tell me what happened!"

"It can make you so reckless"

Zhu Zhanji didn't take it seriously after hearing this. He smiled and then his smile instantly faded away. Instead, he looked solemn. He took out the things he had copied from his pocket and handed them over solemnly, saying:

"father"

"This is the news that I heard when I was out strolling today. It has now spread throughout the entire Yingtian City and is almost causing a stir in the city."

"I wonder if Dad knows about this?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment. He took the letter handed over by Zhu Zhanji and checked the contents. As the contents came into his eyes, Zhu Gaochi was instantly happy.

I thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be a notice regarding the Ming Dynasty's monetary system reform, which was to be implemented in Yingtian City on a pilot basis.

As the prince who was the instigator of this matter, how could he not know about it?
After all, this matter was something he had discussed with the King of Han, the six ministers of the court, and a number of important officials in the court.

However, in order to avoid suspicion and in case something uncontrollable happened, someone was needed to take responsibility. So when it came to this matter, he did not participate openly, but was involved in it in secret.

This is exactly the reason why he rarely went out during the past half month, except when necessary.

"Oh?"

"Is the imperial court promoting the affairs of the Ming Dynasty Bank?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong here?"

Zhu Zhanji saw his old father, who looked at the contents of the paper and looked indifferent and didn't take it seriously at all. He was stunned for a moment and said:
"father"

"How can this not be a problem?"

"Opening a money shop is something that merchants do, all for the purpose of making a profit."

"The Ming Dynasty court has also opened a money house, and has the court as a guarantor behind the scenes." "This matter."

"What will the common people think? Won't they think our government is no different from merchants?"

"Isn't this a very philistine and shameful thing?"

"It's so urgent, how can you still be so calm and composed?"

"Moreover"

"Second uncle is in collusion with the ministers in the court and did such a thing without telling you. Aren't you really angry at all? Second uncle is so close to the ministers in the court. Aren't you really worried at all?"

Dele.

I know that my son would never be so nervous just because of this matter.

This is the real reason why emotions make him act like this!

To be honest, sometimes the prince really feels helpless.

I really don’t know how to explain it to this guy, just tell him whatever you say!
I was also afraid that this guy couldn't keep his mouth shut. After all, he was still very young. Although his intelligence was much better than his peers, he was still a child at heart and was easily tricked.

Just say you won’t tell him!
Look, it’s just a small thing, but he dances more happily than anyone else and appears more nervous than anyone else.

Although the words seem to be directed at others, I don't know why.

Zhu Gaochi always felt that what he said was not right, as if this little bastard was scolding him for being incompetent.

"Ugh……"

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sighed, and pondered for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, looked at it with interest, and waved the rice paper in his hand, saying:

"Let's not discuss these issues for now, father and son."

"Discard other thoughts and ideas, and do not mix any personal emotions into it. Just based on the contents of this transcript, tell me whether it is good or bad for the court to promote such things."

"Is it beneficial or detrimental to the court?"

"Tell me what you think. We want to hear your opinion."

Zhu Zhanji: “???????”

Doesn’t it feel like something is wrong?

I was also a little confused about what my father meant.

When encountering such a situation, shouldn't we first think about how to solve the problem of direct connection between the King of Han and the court officials?
How come at this moment, he still has the mind to interrogate him about whether this matter is good or bad?
In this matter, does good or bad really matter?

Is it more important than having the position under your butt threatened?

But speaking of the matter, it really cannot be evaluated using the words good or bad.

Because there is no good or bad here.

To put it bluntly, it's all about interests.

Private individuals would open money houses, so why would they do so?

to be honest.

Isn’t it just to make money? Don’t you know there is money to be made?

So from the perspective of interests, there is definitely no problem.

The court can have income and profit.

But considering the nature of the court, it becomes somewhat intriguing.

There is something involved here that seems to involve competing with the people for profit.

Of course, doing business is also exclusive to merchants?
He holds an exclusive position in the imperial court, and now he is doing business. This behavior is no different from that of a merchant, which is more or less a lowering of his status.

As he thought about it, he originally didn't want to answer, but when he met Zhu Gaochi's slightly grim gaze, Zhu Zhanji had to tell him everything he was thinking.

After listening to Zhu Zhanji's story, the prince, who had been looking at her with a harsh expression, relaxed a lot.

In his heart, he had to admit that although Zhu Zhanji was impetuous, he was still quite smart.

He had an extremely clear understanding of the pros and cons of the matter and the problem at hand, which made him relatively relieved.

After a brief silence, Zhu Gaochi smiled, raised his hand and gently rubbed his head, praising him:
"It can't be our Zhu family's child. This little brain is quite good."

"but……"

At this point, the smile on Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly faded, replaced by a serious look. He placed his hand on his shoulder, patted it heavily, and said in a very serious tone:

“Zhanji!”

"I don't know, have you ever heard about the situation of our Ming Dynasty's treasury?"

This is said.

Zhu Zhanji was slightly startled, his brows unconsciously knitted together, and he said in a deep voice:
"Just know that our imperial treasury has never been full."

"It's always been robbing Peter to pay Paul!"

"but…"

"Even if we do this, we can't do this!"

"Where will this put the position of the imperial court?"

As for where?

Where is the face of the court?

In fact, it is undeniable that when Zhu Gaoxu first raised this issue.

It's not like he hasn't thought about this issue, nor does he not care about it.

But in the end, after several soul-searching questions from Zhu Gaoxu, he had to give in.

At the same time, I also have to rethink what I am thinking about, whether it is right or wrong.

At last……

Fortunately, he got rid of his previous misunderstandings, crossed that hurdle, and at the same time understood the truth of certain things.

As Zhu Gaochi thought about it, his expression changed. He lowered his head to look at his son who was standing very close to him, and asked in a deep voice:

“Zhanji!”

"Then let me ask you a question."

"Is it better when the imperial treasury is empty or when it is full?"
