"How is this possible?"

"If it's not to attract your attention, if it's not to reach Heaven, then what is it for?"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Queen Ma's eyes obviously lost the confidence they had before, and her voice became less and less confident.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer because he knew that his sister was very optimistic about Ye Qing.

In fact, why doesn't Zhu Yuanzhang hope that such talents can live and be used by him?

Whether it's his skills that he covets or his political achievements that his eyes can see, it's enough to tell Zhu Yuanzhang a message.

As long as Ye Qing is willing to use him sincerely, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, will definitely be able to see the Ming Dynasty, which was built on the ruins of troubled times, return to the prosperous age of the Han and Tang Dynasties in his lifetime!

The pride of the Tang people reappeared on the faces of the people living in the Ming Dynasty!

And his Ming army once again had the confidence of the Han and Tang armies!

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was not very knowledgeable, but he had read a lot of history books. He knew that no matter where the armies of the Han and Tang Dynasties went to conquer, they were like soldiers from heaven descending from the earth!

It's a pity that the crimes committed by Mr. Ye are as high as his political achievements, and many times they almost reach the point where he can't bear it.

For example, the situation they encountered now made Zhu Yuanzhang intolerable.

Judging from the current situation, Ye Qing's story of embezzling millions of snowflakes in three years is not necessarily a lie.

But if this is the truth, why is he telling such a truth?

Regarding this issue, neither Zhu Yuanzhang, who was very scheming once he calmed down, nor Empress Ma, who was smart and careful, could not figure it out.

But for now, whether this issue can be solved is no longer that important.

"What are you reaching for?"

When Queen Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, but only extended his hand, she immediately asked.

"Give us a piece of treasure money!" Zhu Yuanzhang just said seriously.

Empress Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had become serious and knew that there must be something on his mind, and it was something related to money.

If he doesn't think this through, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang will not become her Zhu Chongba.

The reason why Empress Ma received Zhu Yuanzhang's almost indulgent love and care was not only because they were husband and wife but also "comrades-in-arms", and the other reason was that she was very discerning.

She knew that she couldn't say much at this time, nor should she say much. She just took out a piece of treasure money and handed it into Zhu Yuanzhang's hand.

"Always money?"

"You just give us the same amount of money?"

"Okay, except for the denomination, everything else is the same!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the Ming Dynasty's smallest denomination treasure banknote and squatted beside it, staring at it in a daze.

But he just looked like he was in a daze, but his brain was very active!

The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes issued by Zhu Yuanzhang are called "Da Ming Tongxing Bao banknotes". They are one foot long and six inches wide, and use mulberry paper as the printing material.

The top of the treasure note has six characters "Da Ming Tong Xing Bao Bank", and the top of the middle is the amount of the note, which is what the people call "one liang"!

Of course, it’s just that the denomination of the treasure note in Zhu Yuanzhang’s hand is ‘One Guan’!

Below the amount of the banknote is a pattern of ten strings of copper coins, and on both sides are the words "Da Ming Bao Chao" and "Tian Xia Tong Xing" in seal script.

At the bottom, there is an annotation: "The Ministry of Household Affairs approved the printing of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, which are commonly used together with copper coins. Forgers who forged the coins were beheaded, and those who reported the arrest were rewarded with two hundred and five taels of silver, and property was still given to the prisoners. On a certain day in a certain year in Hongwu."

The decorations around the banknotes are dragon patterns and sea water patterns!

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at this moment, all he could see was the 'ten strings of copper coins pattern' below the banknote amount!

There is no other reason,

Just because he dreamed of turning the pattern of ten strings of copper coins into the pattern of ten silver ingots, and even wanted to issue banknotes with the pattern of ten gold ingots.

It's a pity that the current national strength can't do it, and he can't see hope.

Just because in Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding, China has been short of gold and silver since ancient times, so copper coins are used as currency. Although there is a complete gold, silver and copper coin exchange system, it is basically in name only.

If you want to issue silver banknotes and gold banknotes, you must have enough real gold and silver.

For this reason, he stipulated that the taxes paid by various localities must be a certain proportion of cloth, silk, grain and other physical objects, a certain proportion of gold and silver, a certain proportion of copper coins, and a certain proportion of treasure banknotes.

He issued treasure banknotes, but did not allow all of them to be used to pay taxes, and he did not even allow private smuggling of gold and silver.

People can exchange gold and silver for corresponding proportions of treasure banknotes, but they cannot exchange the treasure banknotes in their hands for gold and silver.

He introduced this series of systems just in the hope that he could obtain enough gold and silver and then issue silver and gold banknotes.

It's a pity that no matter how much thought he uses, it's just a drop in the bucket!

Not to mention real money and silver, he didn't even fully realize the standard of copper coins!

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the scene he saw in the 'Foreign Business and Travel Comprehensive Affairs Hall'.

The burly man carried away these gold and silver coins of different shapes in a sack, making his forehead sweat. This was a scene he had never seen in his life, let alone imagined.

The greedy behavior of secretly swallowing saliva appeared twice after he came to Yanmen County!

The first time was the technical experience I saw in the arsenal, and the second time was the gold and silver coins carried away in sacks!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang once again made up his mind.

As long as Ye Qing doesn't violate his bottom line of being a civilian official and not involved in the military, he can be blinded by the fact that he is a corrupt official!

It can only be a small part of the eyes that are open and blind, no more!

After all, he, Zhu Yuanzhang, is Ye Qing’s absolute boss, and he, Zhu Yuanzhang, must be the one who earns the most!

In other words, when he, Ye Qing, files taxes this year, he will have to send truckloads of gold and silver to the treasury!

If he can't see Yanmen County tax trucks pulling gold and silver into the treasury one by one when filing taxes this year, he will really take action.

He will never allow his ministers to be richer than the emperor, his treasury to be richer than the national treasury, and his local government to be richer than the country!

Once this happens, there will be big problems sooner or later!

If Ye Qing dares to make false accounts in this matter, even if the King of Heaven comes to plead for mercy, he will be killed too!

As for the technology of the arsenal, if that time comes, we can only let the people in the Ministry of Industry study it desperately and learn as much as they can.

He must not ruin his Ming Dynasty just for the sake of this technology!

Zhu Yuanzhang can still tell which is light and which is serious!

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind, a county official who had returned from going to the toilet saw them unhappy and seemed worried, so he immediately walked over enthusiastically.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"Is it because the county officials there are not attentive enough to you and don't help you solve the problem?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up quickly and said with a smile: "No, absolutely not. We just think the scenery here is good, so we came to take a look."

The county official pursed his lips and shook his head and said, "Then why are you so unhappy?"

"Let me tell you, our Yanmen County must treat everyone equally. If you have been treated unfairly, you can feel free to tell me boldly."

"As long as the facts are true, the county officials who work for you will definitely be punished, and they will definitely send new people to help you get things done."

"Of course, if you make false accusations against county officials, you will definitely be punished!"

At this time, Empress Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation was not natural enough, so she immediately greeted him with a smile.

As soon as Queen Ma came forward, the county officials believed her!

After the county official left, Queen Ma asked, "You were squatting there with a piece of treasure money, frowning for so long. What did you think of?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang faced Empress Ma, he smiled naturally: "Nothing, let's go and see his common people service hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead and went to the people's service hall.

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's back, followed him silently, and stopped asking about this matter.

Because she knew that she was in charge of the Zhu family’s money, while her family’s Chongba was in charge of the country’s money!

As for what her family Chongba thought of before, it must be related to the country's money, and it must also be related to Ye Qing!

Thinking of this, Empress Ma also frowned slightly. He just hoped that Ye Qing would not touch her family's bottom line in this respect!

In the common people's service hall, which is twice the size of the tax hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma saw nothing but attentiveness, patience and smiles.

Even if you are illiterate, the girls will explain it with a smile.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang once again showed a satisfied smile.

I have to say that being kind to the people really made him have a good impression of Ye Qing again!

Queen Ma also smiled with satisfaction when she saw the smile on her family Chongba's face.

"Master Ye,"

"You must live up to your expectations!"

When Empress Ma was secretly looking forward to it, the picture that appeared in her mind was the word 'backdoor'.

She knew that their next trip was to go to the back door to find Ye Qing.

She just hoped that the backdoor process would not go too far, and that the goodwill her family Chongba had finally accumulated would not be lost immediately.

"Walk,"

"Let's go have lunch. After eating, we'll line up at the back door to find Mr. Ye!"

"We also want to ask him for advice in person. If the emperor is not doing well enough, what does it have to do with having too many sons?"

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang also walked out of the administrative hall with a smile.

But in Queen Ma's view, his smile was like a hidden knife!
