This time the currency reform finally saw Lao Zhu’s image printed on the banknotes.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is not only the treasure of the Ming Dynasty, but also the card of the old Zhu family. Anyone who dares to do anything random and affect the value of the currency can be regarded as an unworthy descendant and severely punished without credit.
Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed the beautifully printed treasure banknotes and suddenly asked Zhang Chengtian casually, "Chengtian, you said that there are so many denominations, five hundred coins, one hundred coins, fifty coins, ten coins, five coins, one coin... all of them
Isn’t it a bit monotonous to have our portrait printed on it? Your Majesty has done great service for the great Ming Dynasty, do you want to have him printed on it?”
Zhang Chengtian was startled and quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's right. There is only one sun in the Ming Dynasty, and that is Your Majesty! No matter how famous my father is, he is also a minister, how can he be compared with Your Majesty!"
Lao Zhu was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Boy Chengtian, do you really think so?"
"It's absolutely true! The rules of the monarch and his ministers must not be messed with!"
"Okay! Well said!"
Lao Zhu looked around and saw that there was nothing else, so he handed the newly printed set of treasure banknotes to Zhang Chengtian.
"Take it and let us reward you."
Zhang Chengtian returned home happily holding the wooden box containing the treasure banknotes. As soon as he turned around, he went to see Zhang Ximeng.
"Dad! I helped you a lot today!"
"What are you doing?" Zhang Ximeng didn't even raise his head, "Just don't cause trouble for me."
Zhang Chengtian snorted coldly: "Look at what you said, as if I would cause trouble. I really helped you this time. Your Majesty planned to print your face on the banknotes, but I refused."
Zhang Ximeng was startled and nodded repeatedly, "You did a good job, absolutely right, absolutely right!" Zhang Ximeng didn't think it was a good thing that he and Lao Zhuyin were together.
Zhang Chengtian also said: "Yes, I had an idea at that time, and my mind was spinning very fast. Think about it, if I bought a roast duck and my hands were stained with oil, and I took the change from the boss, would the oil be on your old face?
Yes, this is not the scariest thing. What if I come out of the toilet and touch your old face? What if I didn’t bring toilet paper... Oh, I can’t even imagine it!"
"Get out of here!"
Zhang Ximeng finally couldn't help it anymore. It's a good thing, but when it comes to this kid's mouth, he can't speak human words anymore.
Zhang Chengtian was beaten out by his father, so he could only pouted and went to find his elder brother.
What I said is obviously right, so why do I still bully others?
How about brother, give me some money to compensate for the losses!
As expected, Zhang Chengtian was kicked out again.
The initial release of treasure banknotes with Lao Zhu's image on them totaled 30 million coins.
Although there was some discussion and I was not used to it, overall there were no big problems and it was very smooth.
Moreover, since the new coins bear the emperor's avatar, many anti-counterfeiting measures have been added, and the printing is more exquisite. It has also been approved by most people.
Overall, the currency value remains stable.
Zhang Ximeng continued to collect information from all parties, and when he got the information, he finally felt relieved.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be three rounds of currency injection recently, and eventually 100 million coins will be injected, completely changing the currency situation of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past, Zhang Ximeng had never dared to go too far in currency, but after this experience, Zhang Ximeng realized more and more that the people's recognition of Emperor Zhu was still very high.
With private support and recognition, issuing some additional currency will not be a big problem.
Moreover, after the market is filled with currency, it will not only solve the problem of insufficient currency that has plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years, but also expand the market and pave the way for industrial development.
When people realize the advantages of currency and save a lot of money in banks, they can revitalize what they have in their hands... In the past, people generally stored more food and took food as the basis. Now that it is converted into currency, they can contribute more goods.
As for the possible crisis in civilian food, after this battle, it has been basically eliminated, and the Ming court has sufficient food.
After local savings can cope with it for a while, a large amount of food can be immediately allocated for emergency relief.
Today, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is quite solid.
As good things happened frequently, another piece of excellent news came to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chang Yuchun commanded the navy and defeated the Japanese, and forced the Japanese to send Prince Huai Liang to the Ming Dynasty to plead guilty!
When the news came, the entire Ming Dynasty was in an uproar. The gongs and drums in Yingtian City were noisy, and firecrackers were blasting.
From top to bottom, I couldn't be more excited.
Why is Prince Huai Liang so hated?
There is no doubt that it is still the eloquent national letter.
Don’t you want to meet the Ming Dynasty at the foot of Helan Mountain? Don’t you want to compete to see who is more powerful?
Very good, meet your requirements, Daming is here!
Sun Tzu, why didn’t you fight? Why were you captured?
This is like a guy who is yelling and arrogant, actually getting into the ring, knocking people down with three punches, and everyone laughing out loud.
I thought it was very capable, but it turned out to be a silver pewter spear head.
The people of the Ming Dynasty were so happy that they helped the old and the young and headed outside the city to witness the grace of King Huai Liang!
As for King Huai Liang, he never thought in his life that he would actually cross the ocean and come to the Ming Dynasty. When he came out of the cabin, he was immediately frightened.
It’s a huge crowd. How many people are there?
Why can't I see the end at a glance?
Are all the people of Ming Dynasty here?
Obviously, his guess was wrong. The actual number of people who came was less than 20% of Yingtian's number. But even so, it was enough to overturn King Huai Liang's cognition.
He was trembling as he came down the gangplank. He slipped and almost fell. He looked pitiful and funny.
The people of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help laughing.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone noticed that King Huai Liang was very old. He should be around sixty years old. After traveling across the ocean, he looked very tired and haggard. He looked older than he actually was.
.
But no matter what, it is completely different from the temperament shown in his credentials!
He should be a young man, full of energy, fearless of heaven and earth.
The kind where newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
It’s hard to imagine that a person of such an age could say such arrogant words, which made him explode for the second time.
Is it because people cannot be judged by their appearance, or is there something else hidden?
And how did this guy get caught in Ming Dynasty? Is there any story in this?
The people were full of curiosity, but no matter what, they still had to send King Huai Liang to see Zhu Yuanzhang first.
Zhang Ximeng was naturally invited to face the arrogant King Huai Liang together.
Zhang Chengtian, who likes to join in the fun, actually joined in as a commander.
Everyone is curious about what kind of thing dares to challenge the dignity of Ming Dynasty?
A haggard and skinny old man walked into Fengtian Hall. As soon as he passed the threshold, he knelt on the ground.
"The guilty minister pays homage to His Majesty. May our Emperor live long, long live!"
This guy speaks Chinese very well without much of an accent.
His attitude was humble enough, he knelt on the ground and was very honest.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not let him go, but said coldly: "The Japanese pirates are raging, killing the people in our coastal areas, and looting our food and property... What a courageous dog!"
Lao Zhu said sternly: "Japanese chieftain, do you know your crime?"
King Huai Liang was trembling all over and his voice was trembling, "Your Majesty, please be aware that the sinner had no intention of offending the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the guilty minister had lost his authority many years ago. He indulged the thieves and offended the Ming Dynasty. This is not the case at all."
It’s what sinners do, after all, even if sinners want to, no one will listen to me.”
"Nonsense! Don't you want to make excuses? As a Japanese chieftain, why have you been wronged?"
King Huai Liang kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please be clear that the criminals are not Japanese pirates no matter what. This is even more unjust. Please be aware of this!"
Now it’s interesting, he doesn’t recognize anything Lao Zhu accuses.
Zhang Ximeng could only cough lightly and said, "King Huai Liang, what is your status in the Japanese country? I'll recruit you from the truth!"
"My lord, the criminal was originally the son of Emperor Go-Daigo, and he once served as a general in the Western Conquest. The purpose was to fight against the Ashikaga clan of the shogunate. However, the criminal was incompetent and suffered repeated defeats. He had lost his power a few years ago. Last year, the Ashikaga clan
After completely occupying Kyushu Island, the criminal had no choice but to retreat into seclusion... But then, for unknown reasons, he was actually arrested and said to be handed over to the superior country for his punishment... The criminal asked himself, there is indeed no disobedience to the superior country, and I hope your majesty will tell you clearly!"
King Huairiang thought clearly and analyzed the key points clearly... He was in the period when the Japanese country was fighting between the north and the south. He was a bit like Uncle Liu who had received the imperial edict on clothes and belts. He was able to win over the feudal towns on Kyushu Island and fight against the Muromachi shogunate, hoping to help him.
Sheji.
The two sides fought for many years, and King Eira became increasingly weak, and it was obvious that he could not defeat the shogun. After the ten-year-old Ashikaga Yoshimitsu succeeded the shogunate, he went on a massive campaign and conquered the feudal towns on Kyushu Island, forcing King Eira to live in seclusion to avoid trouble.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty inquired about the crime and got the certificate of credence that made Lao Zhu's liver hurt.
Later, Lanyu attacked the Japanese country in the direction of Goryeo, often encountering Chunli's troops and conquering them vigorously.
As 50,000 elite soldiers were surrounded by the Ming army in Goryeo, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu couldn't resist it, so he came up with a way to send King Huairang to the Ming Dynasty to calm the anger of the superior country.
"See for yourself, is this your attitude towards Shangguo?"
Zhu Yuanzhang threw a letter of credence on the ground. Someone picked it up and delivered it to King Huai Liang.
This guy only looked at it for a few times, then he got up and cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, it is clear that this was not written by a sinner. Even if a sinner did this to his own father, he would not dare to be so rude to the country. This, this
It must be Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the kid who dares to be so arrogant because of his previous mistakes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered slightly. In fact, he had already received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He roughly knew the situation. King Huailiang did not lie.
But that letter of credence still made Lao Zhu quite angry.
"You Japanese kings are not kings, and your ministers are not ministers. You are a mess. It is really abominable! Especially if you dare to offend the superior country, you will be killed and not spared!"
King Huai Liang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he could not move at all.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful and spare the sinner!"
Lao Zhu sighed heavily, "We can spare you, but we can't spare the Japanese country! Let alone that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu!"
At this time, Zhang Ximeng said: "Your Majesty, does it mean that you want to fight for the Japanese country against Buchen?"
Lao Zhu hummed: "Japan is disloyal, we will not waste our troops!"
Hearing these words was no less than a life-saving straw in the ears of King Huailiang. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "If your Majesty can restore the order of the king and ministers in our country, our country is willing to respect the Ming Dynasty as its father! We will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in all our lives!"
