Hearing his father's slightly teasing words, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but blush.

Of course he remembered that at that time he rushed in hastily and said these shocking words directly in front of all the ministers.

At that time, his father was still angry and asked him to kneel down.

Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Father, father, wasn't my son anxious at that time?"

"The supplementary publication of the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes at that time would indeed cause those bad things mentioned by my ministers."

"But this time, I heard about a good way to make Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes truly replace copper coins!"

Emperor Hongzhi put away his teasing and looked at him with interest.

"What can I do?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "It is actually very simple to keep our Ming Dynasty treasures from depreciating in value."

"That means when we issue new banknotes, we will take back all the old banknotes."

"As long as the amount of treasure banknotes circulating in the market is controlled to a certain amount, depreciation and inflation of treasure banknotes can be avoided with a high probability."

Just take the old banknotes back?

After hearing this method, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but think about it for a moment.

Can such a simple operation solve the problem of depreciation of banknotes?

But think about it carefully.

It's exactly what Zhu Houzhao said.

When new banknotes are issued, all old banknotes are taken back.

In this way, the number of Ming Dynasty banknotes circulating in the market can be controlled.

As long as the quantity is controlled, the problem of devaluation can be avoided.

and.

This approach has another advantage.

It can also play a very good preventive role against the emergence of counterfeit banknotes!

The technology for printing treasure banknotes is naturally not simple.

But no matter how complicated the technology is, there are still people who are not afraid of death who can develop it.

But even if it can be researched, it will take time.

Therefore, old banknotes are withdrawn from time to time and new banknotes are issued.

It can indeed effectively prevent the occurrence of counterfeit banknotes.

I never thought that such a simple approach could avoid so many problems...

Emperor Hongzhi's mind was racing rapidly, and the more he thought about it, the more enlightened he became.

He pulled Zhu Houzhao's arm with some joy: "The method my son said is indeed good."

"Did you come up with this?"

Zhu Houzhao was not ashamed at all: "Father, do you think my son can come up with this?"

Emperor Hongzhi's mouth twitched.

Too.

His son, no matter how smart he is, is not on the right path.

So there is no need to think about this matter. In fact, Emperor Hongzhi also vaguely knew who suggested it.

really.

Zhu Houzhao looked as if he was proud and said proudly: "Of course it was the Marquis of Dingxi who taught his subjects."

Emperor Hongzhi understood and let go of his hand.

Then, he waved his hand and said: "Since Marquis Dingxi taught you this matter, I will do it for you."

"But when it comes to exchanging treasure banknotes for copper coins, you can't be in a hurry."

"It is estimated that many people have never seen the appearance of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, so they will be resistant to the imperial court exchanging the treasure banknotes for copper coins."

"You must let the local government offices explain it clearly, and you can't do anything random."

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi immediately summoned a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue to discuss the matter with Zhu Houzhao.

"Right..."

After Emperor Hongzhi finished explaining, he remembered that after the Lantern Festival, he had to confer officials on the new scholars.

He asked: "What official do you think I should give this person, Marquis Dingxi, to him?"

What official should be awarded?

Zhu Houzhao asked doubtfully: "But doesn't the number one scholar in Jinke usually enter the Hanlin Academy as an editor?"

"Father, are you not going to let him enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Entering the Hanlin Academy does not necessarily mean you will have a bright future.

But if you don't enter the Hanlin Academy, you will miss a layer of gilded opportunities.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "I have to enter the Hanlin Academy."

"But with his merits, wouldn't it be a waste of talent to do editing and editing work?"

Like raising business taxes to increase state treasury revenue.

Open the sea ban and go next door to mine gold and silver mines.

Or go outside to dig trees and bring them back to control the plague, as well as those high-yielding crops, advanced weapons, etc.

These things don't seem to have much connection.

But they are all made by the same person.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to leave such a knowledgeable talent to his son for future use.

So what should be there must still be there.

But the dynasty needed him, so of course it was impossible to transfer him to a local official and have the experience of being a feudal official.

As for places like the Imperial College and Dali Temple, they will not be considered.

What Emperor Hongzhi had to do was to promote him and start doing practical things early.

Zhu Houzhao also frowned slightly, thinking hard.

"Where to go?"

"Tobe?"

"It seems that Dingxihou is very good at making money."

"If the Ministry of Revenue gets him, wouldn't it be even more powerful..."

Just as he was talking, an announcement came from outside.

Ji Zhong, the Minister of Hubu, happened to be in the Hubu duty house, and he was the first to arrive among those who received the summons.

"His Majesty."

Zhong Zhong is getting very old this year. He should have resigned last year.

But last year, the treasury revenue increased a lot, and for the first time, the Ministry of Household Affairs did not need to borrow future grain in advance to operate.

So he was really happy and did not propose to resign.

After he walked in, he heard that Zhu Houzhao seemed to have just mentioned the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

So he didn't speak while he sat down and waited for the people behind him to arrive.

Instead, he listened to the two father and son talking about the topic just now.

Emperor Hongzhi gave Ji Zhong a seat, and then said to Zhu Houzhao: "After leaving the Hanlin Academy, it is indeed feasible for Dingxi Marquis to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

The Marquis of Dingxi came to Hubu?

Zhong Zhong's hand on his knee couldn't help but tighten.

His eyes were bright and he looked at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise.

When the accounting method was first implemented, Zhong Zhong thought about letting Zhao Ce join the household department.ωωw.Bǐqυgétν.℃ǒＭ

Now he passed the sixth grade, entered the Hanlin Academy, and then transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs as a matter of course.

feasible!

Of course it works!

Zhong Zhong was happily thinking about what positions in his household department were suitable for Zhao Ce.

Chief?
