Chapter 249 His Majesty the Emperor is a petty person!

Lao Zhu is indeed short of money, or since he became emperor, there has been no time when he is not short of money.

Hongwu Tongbao was cast intermittently. The reason why it stopped casting several times was because the court lacked copper.

Later, the Daming Baochao was created, which relieved a lot of money, but as the more treasures were printed, the depreciation of this thing became faster and faster, so fast that the people would refuse to recognize it.

As a last resort, he ordered the casting several times, but he could not satisfy the embarrassment of the Ming Dynasty's lack of money.

Therefore, when Lao Zhu saw Dasun’s monthly cash payments, he was so envious that his eyes were about to catch fire.

But he was just talking. Seeing Erhu and Zhu Qi look at him with surprise, he shut up embarrassedly.

"Erhu, where is the place to exchange for that currency?"

"Go back to the emperor, not far ahead, there is a copper coin at the door."

Seeing that there was no one around Zuoqiu, Zhu Qi stepped forward and said.

"Father, my son-in-law thinks that my eldest nephew is not a crime of privately casting copper coins."

"I have seen the copper coin just now, it can only be regarded as a small thing for people to use as a souvenir to prove that he has traveled to the Palace of King Wu..."

When Lao Zhu heard this, he hummed with his nose twice.

"You don't have to cover up for that Ni Sun. If we didn't hit him every now and then, what we saw today would be 'Taisun Tongbao'!"

Zhu Qi felt nervous when he heard this and secretly scolded Zhu Yunxi for being brave. Even so many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty did not dare to cast copper coins privately. This grandson dared to do this under the eyes of the old man. It would be really unfair to beat him to death!

Although Zhu Qi was so angry that he was so angry that he still had to cover up Zhu Yunyu.

"The father is so serious. Zhu Yunyu's child is the most filial. He will never do such a traitor..."

"Maybe!"

Old Zhu sighed, then followed Erhu to the commemorative coin exchange office in front.

When several people entered the commemorative coin exchange office, there were already people inside. There were still many people driving carriages filled with carts of copper coins.

In order not to let the emperor wait for a long time, Erhu immediately squeezed in with his big and round body and shouted at the people inside.

“Everything disperses!”

"The business is temporarily closed today. Those who want to exchange commemorative coins will come back later!"

When the person in charge of the exchange office heard this, he stood up from the counter on the spot. Seeing that it was Erhu who was talking, he sat down again.

However, the merchants gathered at the exchange office did not recognize Erhu. Seeing that he was in the army and not saying that he had just stopped working, he threatened to temporarily close his business, and suddenly started to clamor.

"Who are you? You are so angry!"

"Even if the people from the royal palace come over, they have to line up honestly!"

"Which onion are you? It's not enough to cut the line. I still want us to exchange for copper coins!"

When Lao Zhu heard the noise from the merchants around him, he took the lead in retaliating before Erhu could reply.

"We are his grandfather!"

Lao Zhu said this and then stepped into the exchange office and lined up at the counter to ask them to take out various coins.

The person in charge of the exchange office looked at Erhu and saw Erhu wink at him and asked him to cooperate. He no longer hesitated and took out several commemorative coins from the Palace of Wu and placed them on the counter.

"How much does this official want to exchange for?"

"Copper coins are 100, small silver coins are 100, large silver coins are 100, and gold coins are 1000."

"If you exchange copper coins for copper coins, there is an upper limit every day. If you exchange silver for copper coins, there is no upper limit, and how much is there. There is also an upper limit for silver coins, and only ten are allowed to exchange each day. Similarly, if you exchange gold for silver coins, there is no upper limit for copper coins."

"Don't be busy introducing, let's just come and have a look!"

Old Zhu picked up a silver coin and looked at it. He saw that there was a side image on it. He picked up a smaller silver coin and saw that it was replaced by a portrait of Prince Zhu Biao.

After a brief thought, Lao Zhu knew what the so-called grandfather’s money, son’s money, and grandson’s money mean.

It turns out that the grandson printed all their three generations of grandparents on coins!

When Lao Zhu saw that he had the largest face value, he subconsciously thought it was Dasun’s respect for him, and his heart suddenly felt as if he had eaten honey, sweet.

Little do they know that this thing has nothing to do with respect.

As the saying goes, the larger the face value, the worse the liquidity. The smaller the face value, the better the liquidity.

The reason why Zhu Yunyu printed himself on the copper coins was just to show off his beauty in the prosperous era, la la la la la la...

Old Zhu picked up a gold coin curiously and looked at it. He thought that Zhu Wusi's name would be printed on it, but he didn't expect that he would only see a little turtle on it!

"Is this ancestor's money?"

"How can my ancestors draw turtles on money? It's so outrageous!"

"Reporting to the emperor, this is not a turtle, this is Xuanwu, it is a divine beast. It also corresponds to the name of Xuanwu Lake, also known as Xuanwu Coin."

"As for ancestor money, it is just a nonsense name for the people..."

The guy who was talking to Lao Zhu all the time to explain the exchange ratio was so scared that he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Cao people...Cao people pay a visit..."

"No gift!"

Old Zhu shook his sleeves and turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and grabbed a row of commemorative coins on the counter and said angrily.

"We were almost confused by the anger, and almost forgot the evidence of the crime!"

Zhu Jian and Erhu looked at each other, and they were both worried about a little despair, thinking that someone might be beaten again...

Zhu Qi deliberately lagged behind two steps and whispered in a low voice by pulling Erhu's sleeve.

"Send someone to notify my eldest nephew!"

Erhu looked at Lao Zhu who was walking with wind and shook his head vigilantly.

"Your Highness King Jin, you are not a humble position, but a humble position, you really don't dare to do so."

"The emperor warned Huyi yesterday, saying that if Huyi dares to inform the Third Emperor, he will turn Huyi into a castrated tiger!"

“Uhhh…”

When Zhu Qi heard this, he sighed in his heart and could only pray that his eldest nephew, Auspicious, would have a heavenly appearance.

Lao Zhu came out of the Palace of Wu, got on the carriage, and then went around the iron smelting workshop without stopping.

Although Lao Zhu had seen large chimneys in the iron smelting workshop of the Weapon Bureau, when he saw hundreds of large chimneys standing at the foot of Lime Mountain, he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Is this what blast furnace that Ji mentioned?"

Erhu had never been here, and he had been reported by the Jinyiwei's subordinates. Therefore, when he first saw such a big noise, he felt very shocked.

"It should be!"

"Go to ask someone!"

After Erhu said this, he called someone over and asked him to find the manager here.

Soon, a small Jinyiwei ran over with a sloppy flag. When he saw that the person who was looking for him was the ancestor of Tiger, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Little Zhao Mu, pay homage to Master Tiger!"

"You tell me what these stoves are for!"

"In addition, be more respectful to the old man, you can answer whatever he asks!"

Zhao Mu looked at Lao Zhu and was secretly surprised, thinking that this person could be His Majesty, right?

"I dare to ask Master Hu, this person is now..."

"snort!"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't!"

"Little understand!"

Zhao Mu hurriedly got up from the ground and introduced to the wonderful uses of the blast furnace here to several people.

When Lao Zhu saw that the manager here turned out to be the Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but speak in a slight manner.

"The managers here are all Jinyiwei?"

Zhao Mu looked at Erhu when he heard this. Seeing Erhu nodding at him, he then gritted his teeth and replied.

"Reporting to this noble man, the Third Emperor's Grandson said that this is an important place and can only be relieved if you leave it to the emperor's personal army to take care of it!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he snorted coldly.

"That Nisun still has a little respect!"

When Zhao Mu heard this, he thought to himself that this was not what I asked, it was what the old man said himself!

"I am a member of the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Zhao Mu, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor..."

When Lao Zhu saw the craftsmen around him, he quickly waved his sleeves and said.

"Get up and reply!"
