When Zhu Su and Zhu Fan were heading to the imperial city, Lao Zhu was talking with Zhu Biao and Queen Ma in the harem.
"Dad, according to your instructions, my son checked the history books during his confinement period. During the Yuan Dynasty, he indeed encountered a situation where the treasury was insufficient."
Zhu Biaocuo Lao Zhu said, beside the two of them, Queen Ma was holding the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, listening quietly from the side.
"It is true that as Mr. Han said, after the issuance of banknotes, Yuan Ting's financial difficulties at that time will be easily solved. If the Ming Dynasty also issued treasure banknotes, I think it can indeed be used to tide over this difficulty."
"No..." Zhu Biao stopped talking.
"Let's talk about it." Lao Zhu encouraged Zhu Biao as he swallowed a piece of pastry.
"No." Zhu Biao nodded, then showed a tangled look. "It's too natural, and my son feels a little weird."
"As for what's weird, I said it's not coming."
Lao Zhu twisted the pastry legs and paused for a moment, then looked at Zhu Biao with a look of joy in his eyes. "Our Biao'er has grown up, now I know I have doubts!"
"Okay, okay. It's good to be aware of your suspicions. Then there must be something good in the official's good intentions."
"We have been hesitating for so many months, wondering whether they have dug a hole for us. After a while, we still have no idea."
"Bu Nao, I don't care about that anymore." Lao Zhu slapped the table. "Ying'er asked us in a sideways way during the confinement period a few days ago if we could start tinkering with new firearms."
"The Maritime Affairs Department also needs money for shipbuilding. Let's build a big ship and get those divine seeds overseas that can produce thousands of kilograms per acre. Then we won't have any worries."
"If Ming Dynasty is ready for success, just ask for enough money and food to soar into the sky. Even if there are any conspiracies and tricks, let him do it! Let's go on in an upright manner and settle them one by one!"
"Let the common people have enough food and clothing first, and then make Ming Dynasty stronger. This is more important than anything else."
"Chongba, please think about it carefully." Empress Ma, who had been listening quietly, spoke up. "Mr. Han was wrong about that. He was too enthusiastic."
"Although he is a capable person, he is not a trouble-free person...and that precious money..."
"Please don't, I'll call Mr. Liu back and ask him about it?"
"Mr. Liu and Mr. Song are very happy and happy like Mingke. We have called him before, but he refused because of his bad economics." Lao Zhu replied.
"Is Mr. Li more thoughtful? He is so enthusiastic. I'm afraid he doesn't want to show up in front of us so that he can pluck out his apprentice's affairs." Lao Zhu guessed. "Now is the time to employ people, even if
He has some plans of his own, and we also plan to cover our eyes first and pretend we can't see."
"After all, there is no one who can use the big turbans in the court. If you want to issue treasure banknotes, you have to use an old man like Mr. Li."
Empress Ma frowned. She mistook Li Shanchang for always being on guard. Compared with the cautious Liu Bowen, Mr. Li seemed to be very fond of power since the early days of his family business.
With the power of dispatching the commander-in-chief in the rear, he exerted his influence widely and attracted almost all the civil officials who were under the command of Lao Zhu at that time. Those people later became the Huaixi Party who controlled the court and made all the changes.
, all the officials of the Huaixi Party at that time could be named Li Shanchangmendong.
Later, Li Shanchang became an official, and the position of prime minister was handed over to his disciple Hu Weiyong. Although Li Shanchang openly opposed Hu Weiyong to take over as prime minister, Ma always felt that Mr. Li would not arouse Lao Zhu's suspicion.
The leg segment used.
If there is no evidence, just ask a woman’s intuition.
As a virtuous queen with a general understanding of the general situation, Ma would not make the mistake of criticizing her husband for criticizing a high official in the court because of unfounded speculation. If her husband chose to trust her, she would not say anything more. And he also knew that with her husband's tolerance, she would not say anything.
, I will definitely be on guard against that Korean man.
The emperor who climbed up from the bottom was an unusual figure. Ma had complete trust in that. Moreover, the ending of Li Shanchang in history has been revealed.
"Because of the Hu Weiyong case, the clan." This is enough to show that the former prime minister who likes to play with power has never denied his husband's wrongdoing.
"Chongba, even if he doesn't worry about Mr. Han, he still thinks that the treasure banknote is somewhat good." Empress Ma thought about it and reminded her. "Printing a piece of paper turns it into money... That money comes from
It’s too easy.”
"Please, let me ask Lao Wu. He is very knowledgeable. Maybe he knows something."
"Well, should I ask?" Lao Zhu said.
In fact, he wanted to figure it out on his own to understand the pros and cons of the banknote law. After all, as a father and emperor, he also had his own dignity. Xian Yan's various policies were criticized completely, which also made Lao Zhu rise.
Got some competitive spirit.
Whenever something happens, ask your son, "What's going on?"
There are so many rows across the river, and even though Lao Zhu is extremely talented, he couldn't figure out the drawbacks of that banknote method for a while.
Moreover, the court was asking for printing paper that could be turned into money. The temptation was too great. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, as long as it was not issued indiscriminately like Zhizheng banknotes. In fact, in his heart, he was already inclined to seek to open a treasure bank.
Qian Ti was appointed to the examination.
No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty's banknotes are, they will probably be worse than the Great Yuan's banknotes. The Great Yuan's banknotes probably lasted for decades.
Speaking of Zhu Su, Lao Zhu remembered one thing and couldn't help complaining: "That kid from Lao Wu, those confinement boys don't know what to do with Lao San. We announced him several times, but he never showed up.
.”
Just as he was talking, he saw Zhu Fan and Zhu Su arriving hand in hand, led by an outside waiter. Seeing this, Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing: "That kid can't help but talk about it. Once he talks about it, can't he just say it?"
Coming!"
"My son, Zhu Fan (Zhu Su), has met his father, the emperor, and his mother, and he has met the prince." Zhu Fan and Zhu Su saluted.
"We are such a happy family!" Empress Ma complained to the two of them. When she saw the faces of the two sons, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "What did we do just now? Why do we look so dusty?"
The two of them were stunned, glanced at each other wrongly, and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that they were in a hurry to enter the palace just now, and they were galloping all the way, and their faces were accidentally stained with some dirt.
"That's wrong, Dad, I have something to tell you!" Zhu Fan wiped the dust off his face, turned to Lao Zhu excitedly, and recounted the story of successfully practicing steel.
…
"Did I say that we will be able to practice countless steel materials in the future?" Lao Zhu stood up in surprise and laughed.
"Okay, okay! God bless our Ming Dynasty! With good steel, we have a three-point chance of defeating Beiyuan and expanding our territory!"
"Lao San, Lao Wu, well done!"
"Iron is important and involves all aspects." Zhu Biao was also excited. After all, steel is different from firearms and shipbuilding. Firearms require periodic research and development, and the navy also needs time to build ships and train soldiers. But steel can
The horses were forged into armor and weapons, allowing the Ming Dynasty's combat effectiveness to immediately rise several steps higher.
"Dad, I think we should immediately let the Ministry of Industry try to forge weapons with new steel. If it is suitable, we should immediately popularize blast furnace steelmaking in the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Biao said. "The sooner we start steelmaking, the sooner we can let the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang
Used in new weapons."
"We know. Whether it's a big deal or not, it will take a month or a month." Lao Zhu nodded. "It just so happens that Lao Wu is also there."
"We are going to build a new treasure banknote collection department to issue treasure banknotes for the Ming Dynasty...Boss, I asked you to talk about the so-called banknote method..."
"Bao Chao?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Su's brows furrowed when he heard the word "Bao Chao" before Lao Zhu finished his instructions.
Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, no way, we have been considering Dingdong for so long, is it another bad policy?
Oops, I forgot to add a title, I can’t change it...
