When he learned that the morning morning meeting was at Mao hour, which converted to the current time was five o'clock, Zhu Zhanzhen felt bad. He only did it in high school when he got up at five o'clock. He had to get up early in order to sprint for the college entrance examination.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhanji, who had received Zhu Di's approval, was very confident. After only sleeping for more than an hour today, he was as energetic as if he had slept all day. He took Zhu Zhanyi and walked away thinking about Shang Gongju.
The two of them were sitting on a sedan chair. The facilities in Zhu Zhanzhen's courtyard were very complete, and there were many eunuchs carrying the sedan chairs.
"By the way, Zhan Zheng, I thought of another question after last night. Are all food stamps printed and distributed by the Ministry of Household Affairs and distributed to the state capitals below? Or are they printed locally?"
"Brother, can you set up a separate department under the Ministry of Household Affairs to deal with the issuance of food stamps?"
"The treasure banknote department also exists now."
Zhu Zhanchen shook his head: "Brother, this department is not only responsible for the issuance of food stamps, but also various banks."
"Qianzhuang?" Zhu Zhanji fell into deep thought, but quickly responded: "Yes, food stamps have replaced treasure banknotes and silver and become the currency circulating in the market. It must have the functions of storage and lending, so the bank must be
Take care of it, fifth brother, this is a very good idea."
As expected of a good brother, he can get it right.
"Both food stamps and banks must be supervised by one department. Brother, we can call it a bank."
"Bank, bank, silver trading house, it's quite straightforward."
"Brother, it's better to be more straightforward. Give it a literary name that Jinshi Wen wanted, and the common people will feel awkward even entering the house."
Zhu Zhanji thought about it and nodded: "That's fine, the name is just a code name, it's simple and understandable."
"Banks must have the original lending function of banks, but the difference is that banks cannot be as disorderly as banks. All loan quotas and interest rates must be clearly defined, and low-interest loans can even be used to stimulate the flow of private food stamps."
"How much do you have in your little head?" Zhu Zhanji was in a very good mood and patted Zhu Zhanchen's head.
Arriving at the door of Shanggong Bureau, Hu Shanggong was already waiting here.
"I have met the great grandson, His Highness the Fifth Prince."
Zhu Zhanji got off the sedan and said, "Hu Shanggong, I'm here to discuss with you today how the monthly salaries of the female officials in the palace and the emperor's concubines will be converted into food stamps."
Hu Shanggong smiled lightly and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I will fully cooperate with you on the food stamps matter, but the people in each palace may have to go through a process of adaptation."
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry, Hu Shanggong. We will try it for a few days before officially issuing it."
Zhu Zhanzhen perked up when he saw Hu Shanwei. It was his aunt who could cheer him up the most. He walked up and said, "Hu Shanggong, how is my eldest brother's choice of concubine?"
Zhu Zhanji pulled Zhu Zhanchen out: "I'm here to talk about business today."
Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled: "Brother, major events in life are also business matters."
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince is right. Your Highness the Grandson, now all the states are choosing their Grandson Concubine for you. This is not only a major event in your life, but also a serious matter for the country." Hu Shanwei always had a gentle energy in his words.
.
Zhu Zhanji felt a little embarrassed for the rare occasion: "My parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, this matter is all decided by my father, mother and the emperor."
"Brother, tell Hu Shanggong what you would like. Hu Shanggong can directly screen out those who do not meet your requirements to avoid being selected."
Zhu Zhanji grabbed Zhu Zhanzhen's ear: "Why do you like to join in the fun so much?"
"Brother, it's good for you." Zhu Zhanchen rubbed his ears.
Hu Shanwei smiled softly: "Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, is absolutely right. When the girls selected by the various states enter the palace, our Shang Palace Bureau will have to screen them one by one. Your Highness, can you tell me if you don't like it?"
Yes, we will screen them out when the time comes."
Zhu Zhanji thought for a moment and said for the sake of his lifelong happiness: "That... that Hu Shanggong, if the woman is ugly, she should be screened out."
"Brother, what standard do you have? Can the ugly ones still come into the palace to be screened? They have been screened out outside long ago." Zhu Zhanzhen looked at him hesitating. He really didn't expect his eldest brother to be so shy.
.
"The third brother's standards are the best to distinguish." As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen said this, Hu Shanggong's expression became a little strange, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when the Third Highness chose the maid.
However, she felt that what Zhu Zhanyong said was reasonable. It would be much simpler to choose concubines for Zhu Zhanyong in the future. Those who were smaller than the size of a palm would be eliminated.
"Then what standards do you have?" Zhu Zhanji asked Zhu Zhanyi.
"Ahem, first of all, height. If you are tall, you should have long legs and a cold face. If you are short, you should have a baby face. The one with long legs is preferred, and the one with the standard of Third Brother is preferred."
With big breasts, thin waist, and long legs, you can be a royal lady or a lolita. If you can cultivate both a royal lady and a lolita, that would be a great benefit.
Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhu Zhanzhen angrily and funny: "How come you have so many demands at such a young age?"
"If a person has no long-term worries, he will have immediate worries."
"Is this how the words are used?" Zhu Zhanji was speechless.
Zhu Zhanji did not intend to continue the conversation. He wanted to continue handling the issuance of food stamps. Zhu Zhanzhen stayed at Shanggong Bureau on the pretext of running away.
After it was confirmed that Zhu Zhanji was gone, Zhu Zhanchen stuck his head out and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to follow him all the time.
"Your Highness, Fifth Prince, if you don't want to go out with His Highness Taisun to deal with food stamps, just say so."
"If you speak up, you will be scolded. If you can, hide away."
Hu Shanggong had a good impression of the quirky Zhu Zhanzhen, mainly because the boy was cute. Who doesn't like cute boys?
"Hu Shanggong, your hands are so beautiful."
"Hand?" Hu Shanwei stretched out his hand in front of her and turned it over twice. She had never taken care of her hands very deliberately.
Her fingers are slender, her skin is white and tender, and there are very few fine lines. It’s easy to think deeply every time you see her.
Just around the corner.
Hu Shanwei put his hand in front of Zhu Zhanzhen. At this time, there were only two of them. Hu Shanwei said, "Your Highness, please take a look at it if you like it."
So direct? No one has changed his temper? Otherwise, it would be better to say it is an aunt.
"It's okay to look at it in the future. Does Hu Shanggong have a sister or niece?"
Hu Shanwei was stunned: "I do have a sister, what's wrong, Your Highness?"
"I think Hu Shanggong is good-looking, and my sister must be good-looking too. When I grow up, I want to marry a beautiful woman like Hu Shanggong."
Hu Shanwei was surprised and smiled: "My sister participated in His Highness the Grandson's concubine selection this year, and she is not of the same age as Your Highness."
"It's a pity, it's a pity. Hu Shanggong's sister must also be very beautiful."
"My sister is much prettier than me."
Zhu Zhanzhen frowned slightly and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are older than me. It doesn't matter if you are more than ten years older. I prefer the older ones."
Hu Shanggong suddenly blushed with embarrassment. He didn't expect that he would be teased by this child.
