King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Here.

The prince knew exactly what Zhu Gaoxu was referring to, and he was not ignorant of the situation. He smiled awkwardly, pointed at the lively scene below the stage, and changed the subject:
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

"Look down there, look down there"

There was no awkwardness or sense of incongruity at all.

As for the current situation, seeing that the prince had nothing to say, Zhu Gaoxu did not go too far. He did not let go of the current matter and immediately withdrew his gaze from him. He turned his head and cast his gaze downwards, quietly appreciating the results of his labor over this period of time among the restless crowd.

have to say.

As for the current scene, it was a little beyond his expectations.

But it was also something he had expected. After all, the Ming Dynasty Money House had the imperial court behind it, so the value of the money was naturally beyond doubt.

The entire room fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scene below, but the expressions on everyone's faces were different. Everyone here had different thoughts and opinions.

That's it.

After a long while, Zhu Gaoxu retracted his gaze, as if he had thought of something, and turned his head to look at the civil and military officials who were following the two of them. He frowned and thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, revealing a sly smile, and said:
"Your Majesty."

"Today our Daming Bank is opening. As officials appointed by the imperial court and receiving salaries from the emperor, don't you intend to support our imperial court's business?"

"I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, what do you think?"

This is said.

The officials in the room were shocked and their expressions changed. They looked at each other, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and waved their hands repeatedly, saying:

"My lord."

"Don't keep me waiting."

"For people like us, the salaries we receive from the court are used to feed a large family, and what's left is pitifully little. It's almost impossible to have extra money."

"If we were to get involved and fall into the eyes of the people here, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Ming Dynasty?"

"For this reason, we won't go and join in the fun. We know our own situation well, so we won't go and embarrass ourselves."

The words were sincere and genuine, filled with endless sadness and helplessness, and she looked as aggrieved as a bullied young wife.

If Zhu Gaoxu did not know the background and specific circumstances of these individuals, he would have really believed their lies.

It is undeniable.

Among the people here, there are certainly those who are honest and upright.

But there are also many people who are not honest and incorruptible. Their lives are not as hard as what I just said. They can be said to be rich and even surpass the well-off level.

When these words were spoken, how could Zhu Gaoxu not be prepared at all? So he looked around with a strange smile on his face, squinting his eyes and looking at some people in the field, but he was tactful enough not to point it out, making everyone embarrassed.

Then, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully:

"Your family, what is your situation?"

"You all know what is going on, and I know what is going on as well."

"I don't want to say anything extra, just keep it in your mind."

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking.

Some things don't need to be said too bluntly, nor do they need to be said too clearly. There are a few people in the field who are not smart. They may not understand the situation of others, but they definitely know their own situation better than anyone else.

If you understand your own situation clearly, you will naturally understand what Zhu Gaoxu's meaningful words mean, and you will know what you should do.

Say it.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked to the side, slightly puzzled. The prince was curiously looking back and forth between him and the ministers, and then without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and put his arm around his shoulders, saying with a smile:

"Boss"

"The Daming Bank is now open for business."

"Based on the current situation, there are no problems at all, and there won't be any unexpected changes."

"Are you still standing here staring at us, or do you want us to take advantage of today's free time to stroll around Yingtian City and experience the various aspects of life here?"

This is said.

Zhu Gaochi's thoughts were pulled back. He turned his head to look at the slowly gathering crowd below. He frowned and pondered for a while. He understood everything in his heart and knew that he had seen what he should see.

The Ming Money House was open for business as usual, people lined up one after another, and there were no unusual situations.

Stay here and watch here.

It seems like it has really lost its meaning, there is absolutely no necessity at all, and it also seems a bit stupid.

And if nothing unexpected happens, someone will naturally take the initiative to deliver today's data to him the day after tomorrow at the latest, and report to him the results of the opening of Daming Money House today.

to this end.

After a brief pause, Zhu Gaochi nodded with a smile and agreed:

"never mind."

"It shouldn't be a big deal right now."

"It's meaningless for us to just stand here and watch."

"Fine!"

"We'll do as you say. Let's not stand here and stare at each other stupidly. There's no need to stand here and stare at each other stupidly. It just so happens that we two brothers only strolled around the streets together when we were in Peking."

"In recent years, it seems that there has never been any."

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so I can enjoy the life in Yingtian City together."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look at the ministers standing beside him, and waved his hand at them, signaling:

"Except for those who are necessary to stay, you don't need to waste your time here in the current situation."

"If you have urgent matters at hand, go and take care of your own affairs!"

"If you don't have any urgent matters, everyone has been busy and exhausted in recent days, so go home and have a good rest."

"Go for it!!"

Receive order.

The ministers in the field knew what was happening to them, so they all bowed respectfully and saluted, saying:

"We, the officials, will take our leave." After that, everyone stood up and was about to turn around and leave.

But before they had taken two steps, they heard the crowd below, who had been queuing peacefully and orderly, suddenly become agitated, and a fierce quarrel broke out inside the Daming Money House.

Seeing this, the ministers who were about to leave suddenly
The room paused, and like the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi, everyone ran to the windowsill at the same time, looking down nervously to see what was going on.

However, since they were standing on a high place, although they could see the interior of the Daming Money House, due to the visual angle, they could only see a small part of the inside. They could not see clearly and did not understand what was happening below.

However, I could faintly hear the quarreling sounds below.

Faced with the sudden situation here, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was following everyone, did not hesitate at all. He quickly pushed open the door and went downstairs.

After a while, the prince looked anxious because he could not see the specific situation below. He turned his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu and asked:

"Second child"

"Should we go down and take a look at the situation?"

Zhu Gaoxu frowned upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, then shook his head heavily and said:
"Being not."

"Although we can't see clearly, we don't know what happened exactly."

"But Ji Gang has already gone down there immediately. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to handle the current situation as quickly as possible."

"Even if we can't handle it, we will get feedback as soon as possible."

“We’ll see how the situation plays out.”

"Besides, there are so many people down there. If something unexpected happens, even though we have patrol officers and Jinyiwei, we can't beat four hands with two fists. So it's best for us to wait. If we can avoid showing up, it's better not to show up."

"Even if we really have to step forward, it's not your turn, Boss. After all, as the main person in charge here, I should be the one to go down."

"Just keep your heart at ease."

This is said.

Even though the prince was extremely anxious, he had to admit that what Zhu Gaoxu said made sense, and he had to wait quietly.

As time passes by minute by minute.

Not long after, Ji Gang, who had left, came in from the door at a trot. Seeing his figure appear, the prince, who had been waiting anxiously, hurried forward and asked:
"What on earth is going on down there?"

"Can it be handled?"

"Why don't we see the people who just went in come out?"

After hearing this, Ji Gang did not dare to hesitate for a moment and spoke quickly, saying:

"Your Highness"

"According to the Ming Dynasty Bank's deposit system, when the amount of money exceeds a thousand taels, we must ask the depositor where such a large amount of money came from."

"Moreover, this person is not storing money, but is holding nearly 5,000 taels of Ming Dynasty treasure notes, trying to exchange them for silver. For this reason, the officials of the Ming Dynasty bank have to question him."

"But the man who came to exchange the UnionPay was hesitant and could not explain the reason. He was unwilling to tell the source of such a large amount of Ming Dynasty treasure notes."

"It is impossible for the officials of the bank to exchange it."

"After that, the man compromised and refused to exchange the money. He wanted to deposit an equivalent amount of treasure notes into the Daming Bank, but was rejected by the people below."

"But the man was unwilling to do so, so he started arguing with the officials below."

"They tried to create chaos in order to force the officials below to exchange the money, which led to the current situation."

This is said.

No one in the field is a fool.

One person took away a sum of Ming Dynasty treasure notes equivalent to about five thousand taels of silver, and he couldn't even explain the origin of the Ming Dynasty treasure notes. Anyone who is not a fool can realize that this is definitely not that simple, or that there must be something shameful about this amount of treasure notes.

Otherwise, if you have a clear conscience and can tell the source, how could you not want to say it?

After all, the officials from the money house were not asking about any big deal.

After receiving the definite answer, Zhu Gaochi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed across his face, and asked:

"So, how do you guys deal with this?"

"Or how are you going to deal with it?"

It was no wonder that Zhu Gaochi asked this question. Although the noises of noise and quarreling below had disappeared, they could see it clearly from upstairs. They could clearly see that after such an incident, although there was still a long queue, no common people entered.

This is the situation that no one in the field wants to see.

Listening to the question, Ji Gang looked a little embarrassed. This question was really asked to him, and he didn't know how to answer it. According to the Jinyiwei's previous practices, they would arrest the person for trial and then announce the results of the trial.

But given the current situation, there is definitely no way to give them that time. If they really have to wait for them to conduct a thorough investigation, it will inevitably affect the business of the Ming Dynasty Money House. What if someone with ulterior motives deliberately spread some rumors?

The business of the Ming Dynasty money house here is likely to vanish in an instant.

Seeing that he remained silent, it was obvious that he had no answer, nor any way to deal with the current situation as quickly as possible.

Then, the prince turned his head and looked at the frowning Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, and asked anxiously:
"hey hey"

"Second brother, how can you still sit still?"

"We are in a hurry now, we have to find a solution!"

"There is no time to waste on this matter. Otherwise, if we don't handle it well, this seemingly hot scene will turn into a mess in an instant."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu slowly stood up from his chair, ignoring the anxious Crown Prince, and instead stared straight at Ji Gang who was standing very close to him, and said in a deep voice:
"Where is that person now?"

Ji Gang said: "He is being escorted to the backyard of the bank."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly and continued, "Are you sure it's true? You are hesitating and can't explain clearly where the money came from?"

Ji Gang nodded respectfully and said, "It's almost 100% certain."

Getting a definite answer was enough for Zhu Gaoxu, and he immediately gave an order: "In this way, order someone to clear a piece of open space outside the Daming Bank and order someone to build a simple platform."

“Then escort the person out.”

"Since time is running out, there is no time to lose."

"Let's collect materials locally. Don't take him back to the imperial prison, and don't interrogate him secretly. Just interrogate him in front of all the people below."

"This will also increase credibility and not be afraid of any rumors. At the same time, it can also stop the gossips of all the people queuing here, so as to dispel everyone's concerns and worries, and also increase the fairness and justice of our Daming Bank."

"See the interrogation, we will go down in person."

"Go and make arrangements quickly, and prepare the personnel. If the interrogation reveals that someone did this on purpose, or is deliberately causing trouble, arrest them immediately." (End of this chapter)
