I'm a big dick

Chapter 153 Planning by the Imperial Bank

And in the capital, another emperor, his uncle Guiwang Zhu Changying, had just been appointed as the Da Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion, responsible for managing the clan affairs.

In addition to those trivial matters such as compiling jade documents and recording the old age, sickness and death of the clan's children, Zhu Changying was also responsible for reporting the clan's statement requests to the emperor, recommending talented people, recording crimes and faults, and punishing them.

This seems to be a small matter, but it is Zhu Youxiao's first step in reforming the suzerainty system.

Now staying in the capital, there are Gui Wang Zhu Changying, Hui Wang Zhu Changrun, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao, but Zhu Youxiao is no longer going to put them in the place.

Every vassal king is a vassal, builds a mansion, builds a house, and grants land and silver, which is a big expense.When he arrived at the place, he also caused a lot of trouble for officials and common people.Raising pigs, where is it not? It's the same in the capital.

Of course, if you don't want to be a pig, I will give you a chance to display your talents.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao still has time to come up with a better and more perfect way to accommodate these uncles of his own.As for the ancestral system, just kidding, isn't reform meant to break the ancestral system and forge ahead!

And Uncle Wei traveled several provinces on business, the main purpose was to take back the gifted land, and then raise funds from the vassal king, that is, borrow money.

Unlike what Zhu Changxun thought, Zhu Youxiao really borrowed money to save up enough reserves for the long-planned Imperial Bank to promote the development of the Ming Dynasty's financial industry.

I still have private money, but I have to save it for emergency.Moreover, Zhu Youxiao is not too willing to spend.

As for whether the bank can make money?Then you are the IQ of Mai Tai Zhu Youxiao.Even if this is not his major, he still understands the general operating mode.

Moreover, the bank money shop that appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was also equivalent to the embryonic form of a modern bank.The business includes money exchange, handling deposits and remittances.

But the rudiment is the rudiment. No matter in terms of scale and strength, or the diversity of business, it cannot compare with the Imperial Bank planned by Zhu Youxiao.

For example, at that time there were bills for remittance, which had the nature of banknotes, but they had to be passed in the joint money shops of the two places.

You can think about what kind of strength you need to open joint accounts in several places and have enough money to pay.As for money banks in the form of guilds, the Ming Dynasty did not have them.

With the opening of ports in Qingdao, Shanghai, Xiamen, Guangzhou and other places, economic activities have been further strengthened, and merchants will feel the inconvenience and danger of running around with money.

The reason why he did not issue banknotes directly is also a very helpless thing for Zhu Youxiao.It's really that the Daming treasure banknotes have made such a stink, it's distasteful.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to start from scratch, first establish credibility and reputation, and then proceed to the next step of the plan.

Swipe, swipe, how exciting it is to count banknotes; bang, how happy it is to smash a wad of banknotes on someone's face.You try to change silver?It feels completely different!

Of course, this is a bit far-fetched, and there should be a process of abolishing the two and changing the yuan.

But in any case, the bank must be established.

Absorb scattered funds from the society, support industries that the country needs to develop, and provide low-interest loans to entrepreneurs and farmers...

Not to mention making money, the raising and financing of social funds alone can promote the industrial and commercial development of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjiao wrote his grand blueprint on paper, Wang Tiqian came in to report, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao came to see Xie En.

In the Tang Dynasty, after the death of the emperor, concubines with children were taken care of by their children, while those without children had to become nuns, and the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns accompanied them for the rest of their lives.

Zhu Youxiao didn't engage in the practice of becoming a nun, but released the concubine with children from the court to live with the children and share the family relationship, which is also a great act of kindness.

Zhu Changhao's mother was a concubine Duan. During the Wanli Dynasty, both mother and son were not favored.Now that they can be reunited together, I am so surprised that I am delighted to come here to thank God.

"Uncle Xuanhuang, let's enter the palace!" Zhu Youxiao didn't have any feelings for this emperor uncle, but he was surprised that he was a Buddha but not a womanizer, and wondered if living with his mother would change it.

At this time, the Xiaoluan Palace was full of joy, but also a little sad.

Empress Zhang Yan came to see Concubine Duan off in person, and the other concubines were also sincerely happy for Concubine Duan.But thinking of myself, it is inevitable to feel sentimental.

Concubine Li Zhuang (the adoptive mother of Dong Li and Zhu Youjian) put the cherished bracelet on Concubine Duan. There was a little sparkle in her eyes, but she forced a smile and said: "Keep it as a thought, I don't know in the future." Can we meet again..."

"Yes, I can." Concubine Duan wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "The emperor has given you a sign to enter the palace. My sister will often come to see you."

Concubine Li Zhuang patted Concubine Duan's arm lightly, knowing it was to comfort her.When King Rui takes over as the feudal lord, we will be separated from each other, how can there be a time to meet each other?
The only blame is my own bad luck, there is no man and half woman, so I can only stay in this cold and lonely palace, and I can't enjoy the family happiness like Concubine Duan.

The other old concubines also came forward, presenting souvenirs, some envious, some sad, some happy, and so on.

The intrigues and all kinds of discords in the past, since moving to this old-age palace, have lost their spirits and been worn away by the boring and boring routine, and they have gradually faded away.

"Mother, when the child grows up and gets married, I will also take you out of here." Xiaoba Zhu Huiti held her mother's arm, blinked her beautiful eyes, and watched the lively scene.

Concubine Li Kang pampered her daughter's hair with her hand, and she also felt a little bit hopeful.She is very satisfied if the emperor can put aside old grievances, clean up the Luan Palace, and be very close to Zhu Huiti.

Now, looking at Concubine Duan's unconcealable joy under the sadness, and Concubine Zheng's exorbitant smile when she got the news.She also imagined the wonderful life she would have after following her daughter out of this golden cage.

Zhang Yan gave the reward to Concubine Duan, and chatted with other old concubines with a smile, courteous and thoughtful, quite virtuous.

At this time, Wang Ti ran over and reported to Queen Zhang Yan with a flattering expression.

Zhang Yan was a little dazed at first, but soon laughed happily.

She walked up to Concubine Li Zhuang, gave a salute, and said with a smile on her face: "Congratulations to Concubine Zhuang. His Royal Highness Xin Wang will not forget your kindness in nurturing. With the permission of Long Live, I recognize you as my mother and will come to pick you up." Go out and serve as a filial piety!"

Concubine Li Zhuang was stunned at first, then she covered her face and wept, unable to speak.

When Zhu Youjian was five years old, his mother Liu was offended, and Zhu Changluo ordered him to be killed with a stick, and he was handed over to his concubine Xili to be raised.

A few years later, Xi Li gave birth to a daughter, the eighth princess Zhu Weiti, who couldn't take care of her, so she was brought up by another concubine, Dong Li.

Dong Li is the concubine of Li Zhuang. She is kind and has been raised for a long time. She has a closer relationship with Zhu Youjian.

Historically, Concubine Li Zhuang died at the age of 37.After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he thought of her kindness in nurturing, granted her a title, and rewarded her younger brother Li Chengyu with an official position, and also bestowed a thousand hectares of fertile land.

But now, the fate of Concubine Li Zhuang, who is only 35 years old, has changed, and the fate of many people has changed.

Because, this is the hole that Zhu Youxiao deliberately left for the concubines.Whoever has relatives can find a adopted son, and they can take him out of the palace to live.

The concubines thought of it, but they couldn't say it out loud, so they stepped forward to comfort and congratulate Concubine Li Zhuang, their mood was quite different from before.
