Chapter 248 Father, you even want to sell the palace!

Zhu Yuanzhang originally came up with a stack of memorials, and planned to take advantage of his leisure time to deal with some irrelevant business matters.

However, as soon as the carriage left Taiping Gate and turned around the streets of the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, it felt that there was not enough eyes.

There was a market in front of the Palace of King Wu. There were many tourists inside, and vendors from all over the country were selling them hard.

Lao Zhu likes to see such prosperous times the most. When he saw the entrance of the King of Wu Palace so lively, he couldn't sit still.

"parking!"

"Take a few people with us and accompany us for a walk!"

"The dragon chasing continues!"

"promise!"

Erhu hurriedly brought a few people to follow him. King Zhu Qi of Jin also got off the carriage when he saw this and followed Lao Zhu's footsteps tightly.

"Father, there are so many people here, so don't be in danger!"

When Erhu saw Zhu Qi say this, he hurriedly followed suit.

As the head of the guard, Erhu hopes that His Majesty the Emperor will stay in the palace every day.

Because, as long as the emperor leaves the palace, no matter whether it is a white dragon fish suit or a hustle and back, it is inevitable that there will be negligence in the guards.

Lao Zhu was not a person who listened to advice. While everyone in the market was attracted by the emperor's carriage, he slipped into the market as if no one was around and grabbed the water chestnuts sold by two vendors and put them in his hands.

The old man selling water chestnuts saw someone checking the goods, and quickly took his eyes back from the huge royal car to deal with the eyes that was not open in front of him.

"The guest officer has good eyesight. This is the best water chestnut, the softest and sweetest, only ten cents a pound!"

"If you have grandson money, just one pound per catty. The old man can spare you a few water chestnuts!"

Lao Zhu is the most unpopular customer because he just touches and looks around and has no desire to buy anything at all.

"This fellow villager, what do you mean by grandson money you just mentioned?"

The vendor asked in surprise when he heard this.

"I heard that my brother doesn't have a similar accent to that of a foreigner. Why do he say so ignorant? He doesn't even know the money for his grandson?"

"The grandson's money is a copper coin cast by the King of Wu, so big..."

The old man said, and gestured with his hands. As soon as he gestured twice, he slapped his forehead with annoyance.

"Look at our heads, we obviously have grandson money in our pockets, and we are still playing with our brother here!"

The hero took out a red copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Lao Zhu in front of him with a show of flaunt.

"Old brother, look at it, this is grandson's money!"

This was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang saw such exquisitely cast copper coins, and immediately started to play with them.

"Membersman, can we take a closer look?"

When the vendor saw that Lao Zhu was dressed well, he thought he was not a poor man, so he immediately said generously.

"Old brother, just take it and see!"

"This grandson's money is not a rare thing. Each person can exchange ten ordinary Hongwu Tongbao every day."

"If it's a rich family who can buy it directly with the money, that's not limited to the quantity, and you can buy as much as you can."

While listening to the vendor's nagging, Lao Zhu looked at the style of copper coins.

I saw that the copper coin was about the same amount as the ten-money in Hongwu Tongbao. Because there was no hole in the middle, it was a little smaller as a whole.

On the front is a portrait of a young man, vaguely looking like a grandson.

On the back are six large characters in regular script - commemorative coins of the King of Wu Palace.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw these words, his face turned dark and he took the money to Zhu Qi next to him.

"I also complained that we beat us hard two days ago. You can see what the Ni Sun did!"

After seeing it, Zhu Qi felt a little worried about Zhu Yunxi.

This grandson is too brave and dares to mint coins privately!

Fortunately, this grandson was well-behaved and did not dare to write anything like Hongwu Tongbao. He just wrote an inappropriate "Wu Palace Commemorative Coin", which gave him some room for maneuver.

After Lao Zhu showed the copper coins to Zhu Li, he gave them to his vendors.

"My fellow villager, is this kind of money in this grandson?"

"Can there be five, three, and two-level style?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he ordered the minting of copper coins, which was divided into 10 coins, 5 coins, 3 coins, 2 coins, and 1 coins.

Among them, ten qian is heavy, five qian is heavy, and one qian is heavy, just one qian is heavy.

It can be used as a coin or as a weight to weigh the weight of other goods.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that if Xiao Nisun had minted coins privately, he would never have minted this style.

The vendor explained with a smile when he heard this.

"You have good eyesight!"

"His Royal Highness of Wu has indeed minted more than one kind of coins, and there are two kinds of silver coins."

"One is a silver coin of one or two, called grandfather's money, and the other is a small silver coin of one or two, called son's money."

"It is said that there is also a kind of money made of gold, which is called ancestor money. It is impossible for idle people to afford it. The old man set up a stall here for more than a month. He was lucky enough to see grandpa's money once or twice, but the ancestor money was gone once."

While the two were talking, several Jinyiwei Lis in flying fish suits walked over with a large bamboo basket.

"Come on, I'm paying the money. Those who don't pay the money will be driven out on the spot. They are never allowed to come in and set up stalls again!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately looked at Erhu on the side with displeasure. Erhu hurriedly shrank his neck and winked at several subordinates who were walking over with bamboo baskets.

Several Jinyiwei saw Erhu standing here and hurried forward to greet him.

"Master Hu, why are you so idle today that you have time to come here to play?"

"If you are not busy, wait until the younger ones finish their errands and find a stall to invite Mr. Hu to drink a few drinks!"

Erhu heard the words of several people who were trying to die and cursed angrily.

"roll!"

"Don't let me see you!"

The Jinyiwei has three wards, with a total of nearly 20,000 people, so it is naturally impossible for everyone to recognize His Majesty the Emperor. Only a small number of people lead the escorts and are responsible for guarding and beating drums and drums when the emperor goes on a tour, and occasionally they can meet the emperor. As for the Jinyiwei, most of the Jinyiwei people may never get the opportunity to see the emperor himself in their lifetime.

Several Jinyiwei smiled when he heard Erhu's words.

"What is Hu Ye saying? We have been ordered by the Third Emperor to collect money. Who dares to say that we are not a word!"

Erhu was almost hating these big mouths. If the emperor hadn't watched from the side, he would have to go up and kicked the bastards away.

Several Jinyiwei carried bamboo baskets and passed by each stall, someone would throw ten cents into it, and soon after, they collected most of the basket.

Lao Zhu saw this and wrote down the crime of rebel Sun in his heart.

"My fellow villagers, is the money they collect worthy of? "

The vendor had just paid the stall fee of ten cents and was just unhappy when he heard Lao Zhu ask and immediately spat.

"Of course it has a name!"

"What are the management fees, sanitation fees, palace construction fees, palace maintenance fees, etc."

Lao Zhu felt inexplicably unhappy when he heard this. The first two fees were fine. It was clearly outside the Palace of Wu. Why should he collect money related to the Palace?

"The last two kinds of money shouldn't be collected. Are you outside the palace?"

The old man curled his lips when he heard this.

"Who said it was not!"

"This money is so unreasonable!"

As soon as the old man said this, several Jinyiwei who had just collected the money immediately returned and scolded the old man.

"You old man is so unreasonable!"

"If you think it's expensive, go to the street stall and don't charge money there, why don't you go there!"

When the old man saw a few Jinyiwei say this, he quickly put on a smile and said.

"Several military officials calm down, the old man is just complaining!"

"There are many people here, and there are many noble people coming in and out. Things are easier to sell than in other places. His Highness, the King of Wu, does not charge much for ten cents, not much..."

"Hmph!"

"Since you don't know much, you're still careless!"

"Let's tell you, if it weren't for your relatives and Zhang Xiaoqi, this stall wouldn't be your turn, and it would have been snatched away by the city vendors for a lot of money!"

"You have such a big advantage in Your Highness of the King of Wu, it's fine if you don't want to be grateful, but you dare to say bad things about Your Highness of the King of Wu. You're really ungrateful!"
