Zhang Anshi's words actually made Zhu Di breathe a sigh of relief. It would be fine if he didn't die.
Zhu Di suddenly remembered what happened in the school. He pretended to be calm and calm and said: "I heard that Zhang Fu has been doing mischief in the school all day long. By the way, there are also Zhu Yong and... a man named Zhang Anshi. Since you are their friend, these can be
Are there any fake ones?"
Sure enough, good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!
Zhang Anshi said: "This is all rumors. There are occasional jokes among our classmates, but when it comes to misbehavior, how can we mention it? They are all loyal and brave, so-called heroes, but I don't know where there are such people outside.
gossip."
Zhu Di was riding on the horse, noncommittal, obviously not necessarily believing Zhang Anshi's words: "Whose descendant are you?"
"This..." Zhang Anshi was silent for a moment: "I dare not say it."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you'll tell my dad."
Zhu Di laughed loudly: "If I want to embarrass you, I will take you to Yingtian Mansion now and ask your father to pick you up. It seems that you and Zhang Fu and Zhang Anshi are not good birds. They are all the same.
"
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di immediately said: "Looks like you and other people who have no law, there will always be someone in the world who can cure you."
Zhang Anshi said nonchalantly: "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi, his face slightly relaxed. He was a majestic emperor, and he didn't seem to want to argue with a young boy.
Zhang Anshi became anxious when he saw Zhu Di's slight hesitation. If the stalemate continued like this, it would be bad if Zhang Fu noticed it. The commander knew that no matter what kind of brother-in-law Zhang Anshi was, he simply changed his mind and left.
He dug in his sleeves and took out a few taels of broken silver: "Well, it's fate to meet each other. It's rare to meet each other. With this little silver, I'll invite all you brave men to have a cup of tea."
Unexpectedly, when Zhu Di saw the broken silver, his expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly shouted loudly: "How did you get the broken silver?"
Zhang Anshi said suspiciously: "My sister gave it to me. She said that men shouldn't have money to defend themselves when they go out."
Zhu Di's face became increasingly cold and stern: "That's not what I'm talking about. Don't you know, little kid, that when Emperor Taizu Gao was still here, he issued an edict, which is to say: 'Because the price of goods is so high, the law of money will be bad.
He ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to order all the officials to collect the money from the people and return it to the officials, and exchange them for banknotes according to the number, regardless of the use of copper coins."
Zhu Di paused for a moment and then said: "The current emperor follows the ancestral precepts of Emperor Taizu Gao. In the past few days, he has issued an edict that all delivery starts and ends with treasure banknotes. Isn't it allowed to use copper coins or silver coins instead?"
It's okay if he didn't say it, but when he said that, Zhang Anshi remembered it.
In the early Ming Dynasty, there was indeed a period when the government forced the use of banknotes, that is, the "Ming Dynasty Baobao" issued by the court, for transactions.
It's just that by the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, banknotes began to depreciate due to excessive issuance. After Hongwu's 20th year, the situation worsened. For example, in the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, one stone of rice only cost
A single banknote can be purchased, but now in the second year of Yongle, one stone of rice has become ten banknotes. In just over ten years, the value of banknotes has depreciated tenfold.
The current emperor Zhu Di entered Nanjing in the name of Jingnan. In addition to saying that his nephew Emperor Jianwen had bad people around him, he also had a righteous claim that the then emperor Zhu Yunwen overthrew the ancestors of Emperor Taizu Gao.
Xun, but Zhu Di was different. Zhu Di loved his father the most and was the defender of the laws of his ancestors. So after the new emperor had established a firm position in the country, he thought about it, didn't my father ban the circulation of money in the first place?
As the son of Emperor Gao who loved Taizu the most, Zhu Di was of course determined to implement this decree, so in just one month, he issued three edicts in a row, prohibiting money, and forcing farmers, industry and merchants all over the world to use treasure money to purchase and deliver goods.
.
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of this.
At this moment, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly opened. I am the emperor, I speak the constitution of heaven, follow the law, and the decree is issued. The young man in front of me actually dares to act contrary to the decree. Isn't this a scolding of Yao Guangxiao?
"why are you laughing?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This...is there such a purpose? Uh...Oh no, I have to quickly exchange the treasures at home into gold and silver. Otherwise, I will suffer a big loss."
Zhu Di's eyes almost fell down and he couldn't help but said: "What did you say?"
Zhang Anshi said seriously: "It's fate that you and I met. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I don't want people to suffer stupid losses. I think after this decree is issued, the price of treasure banknotes will plummet again. If I don't exchange it for gold and silver, I won't
If you have three or five days to go out, if you have precious money at home, I’m afraid you’ll lose your crotch.”
Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't you follow the emperor's will?"
"Naturally, no one dares to disobey the emperor's will, but the emperor's will cannot influence the market. It was okay if he didn't force the order, but now once the order is issued, it will be bad. I think... the value of the treasure banknotes must be
Plunge, you don’t even understand these things, I have experience.”
Zhang Anshi is not bragging. The people of the Ming Dynasty are actually quite simple and have never seen the world. But he has lived in two generations. What storms and waves have he not seen? What kind of legal currency, what Zimbabwe, or the mark in Weimar Germany, which one has not
Seen it?
After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh: "How dare you, a little kid, talk nonsense and talk about national affairs."
He showed an unkind expression, but then he smiled again. If it was just a sarcastic expression just now, his smile now was a bit more teasing.
Zhu Di shook his head and thought to himself, what am I doing with such a young boy?
So he waved his hand: "Let's go."
Zhang Anshi suddenly walked quickly and disappeared without a trace.
But he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, who is this person? He has a bad temper.
Fortunately, Zhang Anshi didn't take it to heart. He was thinking about whether he should quickly exchange some of the Zhang family's treasure notes into silver, but he soon felt relieved.
On the one hand, he is actually not rich. Although the East Palace receives rewards every now and then, after all, his brother-in-law is not the master of the family yet, so the rewards are very limited.
On the other hand, he is the prince's brother-in-law. At this time, the emperor issued an edict to strictly prohibit money transactions, but he took the lead in exchanging a large amount of money. Isn't this a trick to his brother-in-law?
You have to hold yourself.
Don't trick your brother-in-law.
…………
At this time, Zhu Di stepped into Zhang Fu's bedroom.
Zhang Fu was howling like a slaughtering pig: "It hurts, it hurts, my waist is broken."
Zhu Di frowned, stepped forward, and lifted the quilt: "Isn't it the spanking? What's more, if you use a whip, how can you break your waist?"
I saw Zhang Fu's head tilted, as if he had fainted.
Zhang Fu, who was standing aside, had a cold face at first, but now he looked more angry and said: "Your Majesty is here, do you still want to fool around?"
Zhang Fu didn't respond.
Zhu Di pressed his hand and signaled to Zhang Fu: "Don't scare him."
At this time, Zhang Fu was still young, but his face always looked serious, making him feel calmer than his peers.
He was on duty at the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. When he heard that his brother had caused trouble again, he hurried back. At this time, His Majesty came here again and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am a foolish brother. I beg your Majesty..."
Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He disobeyed discipline and I have punished him. Okay, don't scare him anymore."
Zhang Fu's cold and solemn face had a rare expression of frustration, and he said: "Yes, but... this brother Chen was fine in the past, but since he got together with Zhang Anshi, Zhu Neng and the others..."
Zhu Di hummed and said noncommittally: "Let the imperial doctor take a look at the injury first."
At this time, several imperial doctors who came with him began to get busy.
Zhu Di walked a few steps in the bedroom with his hands behind his back, and his eyes fell on a porcelain bottle on the table beside the bed: "What is this?"
In fact, all the servants of the Zhang family were so frightened that they didn't dare to raise their heads. Only Zhang Fu's chief servant Qi Ai Ai said: "This... this is the medicine sent by the young master's friend."
Zhu Di nodded and suddenly said: "His friend's name is Guo Degan? I just saw him climb out of the wall."
The servant's jaw dropped in shock.
At this time, a medical miracle happened. Zhang Fu, who was lying motionless on the bed, suddenly woke up and immediately answered: "Yes, my name is Guo Degan."
Zhang Fu is loyal. He cannot betray his eldest brother. Even a fool can see that the guy who can climb over the wall and refuses to declare his family name must be the eldest brother. The eldest brother is like this. He never refuses to leave his name when doing things.
