Borrow the day to change the day

A cavalry team was walking outside the Forbidden City in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The knights in the team let their horses walk leisurely, seemingly not in a hurry.

The leader looked at the sky, straightened his upper body immediately, stretched his waist, and said loudly: "Finally, I don't have to walk the street in the dark."

"Master Hou, you are a noble person and busy with business." Behind him, a young man in Dongchang uniform said with a smile.

The leader of this person is Zhongxing Hou Zhongjinwei who is about to get married. For several days in a row, he discussed with Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren in the Wenhua Palace in the dark and discussed the feudal overseas feudalism of the vassal king and a series of subsequent matters.

Wang Chengen, who was recording, was so tired from writing that he used several stacks of paper for recording.

After a result came out today, Emperor Chongzhen saw that Wen Tiren and Zhong Jinwei had a hard discussion, so he advised them to go home early to rest.

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard this, he came out heartlessly.On the contrary, it was the elderly Wen Tiren, who was the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who was thinking about the affairs of the cabinet and was reluctant to rest. He went to see if there was any important matter for him to deal with.

Zhong Jinwei felt more energetic after stretching.When he heard Wang Peng speak, he didn't look back, glanced at Daming Royal Bank on his left, and said a little tiredly: "Actually, there are a lot of things to do, and now my mind is confused. Go back and sort it out, pick up the important ones first, so I have a clue."

"Master, your most important thing right now is your marriage!" Yu Changjian who was beside Wang Peng reminded.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to look at him and said, "I'm not familiar with these customs. I entrusted everything to your father last night. If I have to come forward, I will do it."

The East Factory guards who guarded Zhong Jinwei nodded in understanding. After all, Lord Hou is from overseas.But after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong. Didn't you say that Lord Hou was a survivor of the former Song Dynasty overseas, and the customs should be similar to those of Daming?

However, Zhong Jinwei's entourage with a knife thinks that his master is of course different from ordinary people, and it is the master's job to discuss state affairs with the emperor.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head to look at Wang Peng and other waiters, and asked with concern: "I've been in a daze for the past few days, and I kept remembering and forgetting to ask, how is your family? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wang Peng waited for the waiter to hear this, and quickly clasped his fists in a salute, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Hou, the family is fine."

Yu Changjian has been hanging out with the Dongchang fan servants for the past few days, and they are already familiar with each other, and both sides respect each other.So he jokingly said: "Who dares to trouble the family members of Tangtang Dongchang, right?"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.At this time, the Dongchang fan servants were faintly proud of their profession in their hearts.

A entourage who just changed to guard Zhong Jinwei who was following behind also joined in and said: "The Jinyiwei is different. I saw a family member of Jinyiwei crying on the street a few days ago, cursing the one who ran away. The ticket number will die."

Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised when he heard that the ticket number ran away with the money, so he asked, "What are you talking about?"

The man remembered that Hou Ye had just returned to the capital, and he left early and returned late, so he definitely didn't know about this matter, so he gossiped: "This matter has something to do with Hou Ye."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he became even more strange. Is he related to the ticket number?

Seeing that Zhong Jinwei turned his head to look at him, the man quickly explained: "Didn't Lord Hou arrest the eight major Shanxi merchants? Before he was escorted to the capital, the eight major Shanxi merchants ran away with the money they opened in the capital. Let those The people who deposited their money in these bank accounts lost all their money, and they have not been found yet, and those sufferers are crying and waiting for news at the gate of Shuntian Mansion Yamen all day long."

Zhong Jinwei understood and nodded, this matter really has something to do with him.

However, if this happened to the Dongchang fan, the result would be the same, and it would be no different from whether it was Jinyiwei or not.

After the gossip was over, Zhong Jinwei turned around and continued walking.

Suddenly, the occupation of later generations reminded him of a related matter, which he could take the opportunity to carry out.

So, he pulled the rein and stopped the horse, then turned the horse's head and said, "Go, go to Daming Royal Bank, I want to get some information."

The guards had just heard that Zhong Jinwei was going home to take a good rest, why they were thinking about the affairs of the court after walking for a short distance, thinking that Marquis Zhongxing was really a role model for Ming officials!

Some guards were also worried about Master Hou's health, but since Hou Zhongxing had already said it, the guards had no objection, and immediately turned around and escorted Zhong Jinwei to the Daming Royal Bank.

When Zhong Jinwei arrived at the bank, he saw many people coming in and out, and the bank staff on the first floor were also busy.

He was a little happy, which was a good thing.

Zhong Jinwei did not disturb them, went up to the second floor through the side door, and came to his office.

When the staff on the second floor saw that Zhongxing Hou had come to work in the bank, and hadn't seen the leader for many days, they all ran over to greet him.

Zhong Jinwei was a little polite, and asked them to bring over the latest information.

Seeing that Hou Zhongxing was very busy, these staff did not dare to disturb them. After delivering the materials to Zhong Jinwei, only the responsible staff stayed and waited for him to ask, and the others disappeared automatically.

Zhong Jinwei picked up the summary table on the top and looked at it, and found that the bank's business was getting better and better.

Those Daming Jiusibao banknotes that distribute salaries to officials have not seen family members of officials coming to exchange them for silver taels since some time ago.

Zhong Jinwei calculated in his mind that it should be the time after the eight major Shanxi merchants were escorted to Beijing.He raised his head and consulted the staff of Hou Zhu, and got an affirmative answer, and even said too much: "Master Hou, you don't know, the news that the imperial court seized the money obtained by the eight Jin merchants is getting more and more outrageous. The numbers are boundless."

Zhong Jinwei smiled. It's normal for rumors to become exaggerated after a few rumors.

He still remembers that there was a similar game in later generations, which was often played at the dinner table or in group games, and what the starter said would be completely irrelevant when spoken by the last person.

Zhong Jinwei looked at other information and found that those ordinary businessmen rarely came to Daming Royal Bank to exchange the banknotes they received into silver taels.There were even some businessmen who came to Daming Royal Bank to exchange some small banknotes back, obviously for change.

The Daming Jiusibao banknotes that are currently issued in the market in the capital have three origins, one is official salaries, the other is businessmen who buy glass from state-owned enterprises, and the third is ordinary people and shopkeepers in exchange for change.

Zhong Jinwei really didn't realize beforehand that although the denomination of the Daming Jiusibao banknotes from the third source is not large, they can be considered a huge sum of money when put together.He sighed secretly in his heart: You really can't underestimate **Si's power.

After reading most of the materials he wanted to know, Zhong Jinwei asked: "Does the emperor have all these materials?"

"Yes, one is sent to the palace every day." The person in charge replied Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei was already very satisfied, the issuance of the Jiusibao notes was going well, it seemed that what he thought on the road just now could be mentioned to the emperor.If you miss this Shanxi merchant ticket number, it will be more difficult to implement in the future.

So, he stopped staying in the bank and went to find Emperor Chongzhen again.
