The education level of the people is the cultural foundation of a country. There are many maids in the palace who are illiterate or can only recognize a few simple words.
The palace maids like Chu'er who follow the prince and help organize documents and deliver things will be arranged to learn some simple knowledge. Sang Yu, who had a good family background when he was a child, also knows Zhuju, who is just a palace maid who washes things. Illiterateness is normal.
Knowledge is the foundation of personal life and the foundation of national prosperity.
It's just that this didn't happen overnight. Modern China is so prosperous and powerful, and the whole country has implemented nine-year compulsory education. After so many years, there are still people in some remote places who don't go to school, not to mention the current Ming Dynasty.
"Chu'er, I'll give you a task. Spend some time every night before going to bed to teach Zhuju how to calligraphy. It doesn't matter how much you know, but at least you have to recognize all the words on the monthly salary slip."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanzhen looked at the food stamps and salary slips in his hand. Now the salaries of the maids, eunuchs and nobles in the palace were paid with food stamps. Moreover, Zhu Zhanzhen discovered an interesting thing, that is, he did not even have to go there by himself. With promotion, the food stamps in the palace will be circulated to the people.
Because although there is no private issuance now, food stamps can be exchanged for grain in major warehouses of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which makes food stamps instantly become hard currency.
This also greatly increased the confidence of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyi, because its value is linked to food, and the people are paying for it. Now the personnel of the Central Bank of Ming Dynasty are in place in the palace, and tomorrow is the day for its opening.
Tomorrow is the day to go to the General Office of the Central Bank, so Zhu Zhanchen went to bed early.
…
On the day of leaving the palace, this time was not a private visit incognito. The three brothers Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanyong each wore a flying fish robe and rode a tall horse along the main street to the office of the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of the guards. hall.
Today I am very happy for the Crown Princess. She is sure to add two more dishes.
My own son ran a bank. Although Zhu Zhanyong was forced to take him in, no matter what, she had a bright face as a mother. The mother is worth the child, and the middle-aged woman in the harem can no longer rely on her beauty. She has come to tie up her husband. Only the better her son is, the more stable her position will be.
No matter in terms of etiquette, heirs, or other concubines in the harem, they would not dare to have any unreasonable thoughts.
The three brothers rode behind the prince's chariot, and the main street was already lined with onlookers.
When we arrived at the door of the bank, there was a sea of people, and the plaque was covered with red cloth. However, the door of the bank was not as impressive as Zhu Gaoxu's security department. It was his second uncle who was responsible for the facade and ostentation. The prince was really frugal.
Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanyang didn't dare to say anything on this point. Zhu Zhanyang's father wouldn't say much if he was caught raising a henchman outside, but if it was extravagant and wasteful, Zhu Gaochi would give him a severe punishment. .
Frugality and benevolence are the character of the prince. To destroy others' character is like killing one's parents.
The prince's chariot stopped, and the third son dismounted and stood aside. Xia Yuanji and other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs came forward and welcomed Zhu Gaochi down from the chariot.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the office with satisfaction, and after the introductions of the officials, he said: "It's a good time, so I won't delay the announcement."
The thick red cloth was uncovered.
[Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty] There were six gilded characters hanging high on the door. Countless people witnessed this scene. Because some of the food stamps some time ago had gone to the private sector, some well-informed people knew that the imperial court was planning to set up a bank.
"The imperial court is going to issue new treasure banknotes."
"It is said that His Highness Taisun came up with it. What are they called food stamps? They can be used as money, or they can be exchanged for grain in the palace's granary."
"It's not all about changing the soup without changing the medicine. Treasure money is not practical, but the silver must be reliable."
"It is said that the food stamps this time are very useful."
"They are not all the same. What a few kids can do can be useful."
"You speak softly, so that you don't behead me and splatter me with blood."
"What good things the imperial court has done is not because of a bunch of officials trying to make money."
…
People are talking a lot, and people always instinctively resist new things.
In addition to the people, there were also many officials who came to watch, and they sent many gifts. Of course, the prince did not accept the gifts, and replaced them with five-year death savings in the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty.
The concepts of dead savings and current savings were also mentioned by Zhu Zhanchang. Although the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty does not theoretically do deposits and loans, it does liberalize the savings of officials, especially high-ranking officials.
The five-year death period means that all the money will be used by the central bank first.
In addition to officials, many businessmen from Yingtian Mansion also came to congratulate them, but they could only stay aside, except for one person, that was Zhao Quan.
The final result of the discussion was that Zhao Quan entered ICBC and was given the position of deputy general manager of ICBC. When the position of manager was proposed, Zhu Zhanji and others were confused.
The explanation given by Zhu Zhanzhen was that he was equivalent to a shopkeeper, but he had no shares in ICBC, only salary and bonuses.
Zhao Quan came as usual cheerfully. At this time, friends from the industrial and commercial circles looked at Zhao Quan who was in a different place from them. Some of them were envious, while others were despised.
"It's fun to be treated like a dog." Han Xiaocun, one of the three shopkeepers of Jiangjia Bank, said in a low voice with disdain.
Although he was disdainful, he also knew that if he boarded this big ship and rode the wind, Zhao Quan's status would be completely different.
"Prince Han has arrived."
"Prince Zhao has arrived."
Two loud cheers rang out, the crowd made a way out, and the two princes quickly walked towards the prince.
"Brother."
"Second brother and third brother."
When the three of them met, it seemed to outsiders that they had a deep brotherly relationship.
"Brother, I heard that my eldest brother is a banker, but your brother and sister asked me to dig out all the money and said that they would deposit it in the bank no matter what." King Zhao excitedly took out a package, which was full of gold, which amounted to 50 yuan.
Two pieces of gold, this is Prince Zhao's "entire wealth".
"Third brother has always been diligent and thrifty and saved a lot of money. Second brother, I am ashamed of myself. Eldest brother, you know that I have many places to spend money. I have used all the money in my family." Prince Han also took out his "
"Full net worth" 40 taels of gold and 200 taels of silver.
Zhu Zhanyong whispered to his two brothers: "The second uncle and the third uncle really only have this little money?"
"Just treat it as a joke. The second uncle and the third uncle are just here to cheer. It's not to praise my father, but to praise the emperor's grandpa." Zhu Zhanzhen explained the situation to his third brother.
The third brother nodded, and Zhu Zhanji added: "It's a pity that the third uncle doesn't write novels, and the words of the second uncle can't be believed."
"Are the two of them working together to fool dad? I'll go talk to dad." Stunned Qing Zhu Zhanyong became a little angry.
His father and his mother have different fates. Zhu Zhanji hurriedly pressed Zhu Zhanyong: "Dad is not that easy to deceive. He knows very well."
"Dad, you know it, and you're still happy?"
Zhu Zhanzhen was so speechless that he almost slapped his forehead: "Dad, there is no need to help."
"The second and third brothers understand the righteousness so well. I am really happy to be my brother. My father must also be very happy. By the way, the second and third brothers, my father said that from now on, the salaries of the army and the royal guards will all be paid out by the bank."
