After Zhu Zhanzhen and others left that day, Zhu Gaoxu was still not satisfied. He asked his subordinates to continue the military training four or five times for him to see, which satisfied the vanity of Prince Han.
Every time I shout to report to the King of Han, it feels so good.
As soon as Zhu Zhanzhen returned to the palace, he was taken to Zhu Zhanji's yard by the eunuch sent by Zhu Zhanji, who had been waiting for a long time.
Zhu Zhanji said with excitement: "Zhan Zhan, the situation of food stamps is beyond expectation. I have obtained the consent of Grandpa Huang to establish a bank. Xia Shangshu will fully cooperate with us in this matter."
Once the bank is established, food stamps will be introduced to the world. As long as food stamps can replace treasure banknotes and if they circulate well among the people, Zhu Zhanji and the people in the Ministry of Revenue will have made a great contribution.
Zhu Zhanji mainly showed his face in front of the ministers. After all, his position was unrewarding. As an emperor, he had to let the ministers and the people know that he had no preference for his grandson.
But Zhu Zhanji will be the emperor in the future, and he does not need these rewards. It is more important for everyone to know his abilities.
Ma Xiang and other officials from the Ministry of Revenue are different. When things are done, let's say they are promoted to two levels. The official positions of these people are not high to begin with. It is possible to be promoted to three levels.
The day the bank landed was the day food stamps were issued.
Zhu Zhanzhen gave a different opinion: "Brother, if we want to be a bank, maybe we have to talk to businessmen who are money banks outside."
"What's there to talk about with them?" Zhu Zhanji still dislikes businessmen from the bottom of his heart, especially those who play with money and power.
The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain, it will never change there.
The education that Zhu Zhanji and others received in this era determined that they were noble and the businessmen outside were cheap.
Zhu Zhanzhen insisted: "Banks need to have not only the function of issuing food stamps, but also the function of lending is equally important."
It was rare to see the usually lazy Zhu Zhanxian be so persistent, and because every opinion Zhu Zhanxang had given before was very useful, Zhu Zhanji also beat his heart and looked at Xia Yuanji.
"In two days I will go find some bosses from outside banks to show His Highness the Fifth Prince and the Grandson."
"No, brother, you and I can disguise ourselves and go outside to take a look."
"Go outside?"
"Well, let's go take a look and see what the people's needs are."
Zhu Zhanzhen thought for a while and paid a private visit incognito. He was considerate of the people and would be appreciated by the ministers if he spoke out. He nodded: "I will discuss it with my father tomorrow and we will see when we leave the palace."
"At that time, we may have to trouble Lord Xia to send someone who knows Yingtian Mansion to follow us."
"I will arrange good people for His Highness the Grand Sun and His Highness the Fifth Highness tomorrow." Xia Yuanji has always been unscrupulous in doing things. He fully cooperates with the food stamps and knows how to make good use of people. This is why Zhu Di likes him.
Today's discussion ended early. Zhu Zhanji has been finishing work earlier and earlier in the evening recently. After all, he still has a lot of work in the evening after returning to his room.
When Zhu Zhanzhen went back, he happened to see Hu Shanwei. At this time, Hu Shanwei was a little tired and had a sad look on his face.
"Hu Shanggong, why are you so tired today?"
Hu Shanwei bowed slightly and saluted: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, I have been choosing a concubine for my grandson recently, and the Crown Prince has held a golden knife competition, so things are a little busier. If I bump into His Highness because of his poor appearance, I hope that Your Highness will not be blamed."
The Golden Knife Competition selects chefs. My fat dad likes to eat, so he organizes this event.
"Thank you for your hard work, Hu Shanggong. Chu'er and others will bring the bird's nest given to me by my second uncle and give it to Hu Shanggong."
"Your Highness, you cannot do this."
"It's not a rare item. Hu Shanggong has to worry about all the matters in the palace. The bird's nest is nourishing, so Hu Shanggong shouldn't delay it."
Zhu Zhanzhen didn't want to tire out his Aunt Hu.
Hu Shanggong smiled slightly and saluted: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Looking at Hu Shanwei's daily running around, it is very hard. After all, she does not need to run for ordinary things, but when there is something or urgent news from the nobles in the harem, she has to go. In order to stabilize her position, Hu Shanwei always
Do it yourself.
Zhu Zhanzhen suddenly thought of the telephone. If he could ring the phone in the palace, his Aunt Hu wouldn't have to work so hard.
It's just that I don't have time now, so I have to do things one by one. When I finish the bank and food stamp matters, I will solve the problem for my Aunt Hu.
In the early morning of the next day, the temperature in Yingtianfu was still dropping, and those troublesome clothes on my body did a good job of keeping warm after the arrival of autumn.
Today I am wearing folk clothes, which are simple but more comfortable.
Even if Zhu Zhanji is wearing ordinary clothes, he is still a handsome young man.
At that time, I was young and wore thin clothes. I was riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, and the buildings were full of red sleeves.
That's probably what it looks like.
Of course, Zhu Zhanzhen himself is not bad either. Born from the same mother, his facial features are quite similar to those of Zhu Zhanji, and his three older brothers are all good-looking.
"Eldest brother, fifth brother." Just as he was thinking about the third brother, his voice came from behind, and three Zhu Zhanyong, who had already put on ordinary clothes, also appeared.
"Third brother, why are you here?"
Zhu Zhanyong patted Zhu Zhanyong on the shoulder: "My mother said that the three of us are brothers, so we have to take Zhanyong with us to see and learn."
The Crown Princess was afraid that if Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyong were too outstanding, her three brothers would fall behind Zhu Zhanyong, and she was afraid that he would feel unhappy.
On the way, Zhu Zhanzhen asked Third Brother casually: "Third Brother, how do you think of the two maids you chose last time?"
"Hardworking and good-tempered."
Sure enough, women with broad minds generally have good tempers.
Zhu Zhanji heard about the selection of maids by his third brother, which had been circulated in the palace for a long time. Zhu Gaochi was angry and punished him severely, but he still couldn't stop everyone from talking. The palace maids and eunuchs often would
Let’s chat.
"Third brother, don't be so careless about formalities when doing things in the future. You must think more carefully and be cautious in your words and deeds."
"I understand, brother, next time I will do the same as Zhan Zhen, just use my eyes to see it and not use my hands."
How did the inner courtyard of the palace raise such an upright man? I really can't imagine who he is like with this temperament and temperament. If it weren't for his trust in his mother, Zhu Zhanyi would have doubted whether the third brother was his biological brother.
.
His father didn't suspect it, and he didn't feel embarrassed to mention it.
When the three highnesses came out of the palace, in order to avoid attracting attention, they only brought with them one female official, Zhu Zhanji's child bride Sun Ruowei, and three escorts. At the same time, Ma Xiang and Wang Botong sent by the Ministry of Revenue were also with them.
Ma Xiang led the way: "Your Highnesses, let me first introduce to you some of the major banks in Yingtian Mansion."
"Jiangjia Bank is a joint venture of merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Many wealthy gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang keep their money in it. It is now the largest bank in Yingtian Mansion."
"Shuntian Bank, this is the branch of the largest bank in Shuntian Prefecture opened in Yingtian Prefecture. People in the north like to keep their money there."
"Qian's business started as a pawnbroker, and later became a banker after it became big. In addition to being a banker, it is also the largest pawnshop in Yingtian Mansion."
"Your Highnesses, where should we go first?"
"Of course it's the biggest." Third brother Zhu Zhanyong answered quickly. No matter what he does, third brother always wants to be the biggest.
