Seeing that they were acquaintances, Zhang Anshi immediately became furious and stopped begging for mercy. He cursed angrily: "Despicable and shameless. I thought you were good people. Who would have thought that you are robbers, robbing men in broad daylight? I tell you, you have messed with the wrong person."
Yes, my brother is the famous second murderer in the capital. I am missing a hair today, so I will pay close attention to your skin!"
"Shut up!" The seven or eight men on the side suddenly became murderous.
He really has murderous intent, especially the man who is close to Zhang Anshi. He looks short in stature, but what is revealed in his eyes is like a sharp blade unsheathed. His whole body is tense, as if he is about to take action at the next moment: "
How dare you talk to...my master like this!"
Who is his master if not Zhu Di?
Zhu Di was still sitting high, half-smiling but not smiling, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
Seeing that this trick had no effect, Zhang Anshi immediately said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was young and ignorant, and I don't know the heights of the world. Please forgive me."
Zhu Di had a playful expression just now, but seeing Zhang Anshi become sincere in an instant, a different look flashed across Zhu Di's eyes.
Zhu Di said: "Come, sit down and drink."
"Okay." Zhang Anshi sat down obediently.
Zhu Di said: "You just said what the two evils in the capital are, but you don't know which ones they are."
Zhang Anshi said: "I can't say now, but one day you will know how powerful they are."
Zhu Di then said: "A few days ago, you were absolutely certain that treasure money would plummet. In the past few days, it has really plummeted. Guo Degan, let me ask you, what is the reason for this?"
Zhang Anshixin said... It turns out that he came to ask this. If you had told me earlier, you would pay me a courtesy visit and ask me for advice. Wouldn't I not tell you?
Just glancing at the ferocious men around him, Zhang Anshi said without much hesitation: "This is easy. This comes from expectations. People don't trust treasure banknotes. Now the court suddenly bans money transactions. For monks and common people,
, I was afraid that the imperial court would print excessive amounts of treasure banknotes again, and money transactions had never been refused by any dynasty, so... everyone tried their best to quickly exchange the treasure banknotes into money. Besides, the more the imperial court issued a ban, the more panicked people became. In fact,
Ultimately, this is a question of credibility."
Zhu Di frowned slightly: "Can it be that even if the decree is promulgated, it will not win the trust of the people in the world?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "After the decree is promulgated, of course the people of the world will not dare to disobey it, but..."
"But what?" Zhu Di continued to ask.
Zhang Anshi said: "But the people really saved money."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "As long as it does not affect everyone's interests, of course there is nothing wrong with this decree. But this decree involves the life savings of countless people and the family property of several generations. As long as one person
If you rush to exchange money, countless people will follow. In the final analysis... even an imperial edict cannot stop the wishes of the people in the world. It is like using a knife to cut off the water. No matter how sharp the knife is, can it cut off the river? "
After Zhu Di listened, he looked thoughtful.
Zhang Anshi looked at him carefully: "Brother, it's possible that a lot of money was thrown into his hands."
The guard on the side shouted loudly: "Bold!"
Zhu Di glared at the guard, who fell silent.
Zhu Di said: "To be honest, I really have a lot of treasure money in my hands."
"how many?"
Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi and thought: I can easily print hundreds of thousands of coins, do you believe it?
Seeing that Zhu Di was silent, Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "My condolences, brother, suffering a loss is a blessing."
Zhu Di glared at him: "It's not you who suffers, of course you can say that."
"this……"
"Then tell me, how can we stabilize the value of treasure banknotes?"
Zhang Anshi said: "This... is more complicated. If you want banknotes to be accepted, you must first establish credit, and at the same time, they must be linked to certain necessities in reality, such as... firewood, rice, oil, and salt... In addition, you must also
To restrain your desire to overprint, of course... you also need to have a recycling mechanism, or... a pool to store water."
"A pond that holds water?"
"It's very complicated here, and I can't explain it clearly for a while. Besides, this is not something you and I can worry about. Brother, I see that you are not an ordinary person. I think you must be a big shot in Nanjing City, the Duke of the country, or
Marquis? He can't be a relative of the emperor, right?"
Zhang Anshi carefully probed the other party's tone, hoping to find some clues.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "I won't ask about you, and you shouldn't ask about me. We met by chance, just by chance."
Zhang Anshi resisted rolling his eyes at him and said in his heart, I was kidnapped because of your size.
At this time, Zhu Di said again: "By the way, the last time I heard you said that you would deliver medicine to the Zhang family, what, how effective is the medicine?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Don't you know? The effect of my medicine is really amazing. My friend's injury was greatly healed overnight."
Zhu Di pretended to be surprised: "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go to Zhang's house and ask! I'm not bragging. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a panacea. In this world... when it comes to curing diseases and saving people, who can be better than me? You go out and ask about me, Guo Degan
, no one doesn’t admire me! Of course, I’m not a vain person, so you’d better not pry.”
Zhu Di thought: "This medicine of yours can only treat external injuries. If someone has a cough that cannot be cured after a long period of treatment and is weak, can it also be cured?"
Zhang Anshi subconsciously asked, "Are you talking about pneumonia? Do you often cough, have a lot of phlegm, occasionally have a low fever, have no appetite, and are you losing weight?"
Zhu Di said: "Is this disease called pneumonia?"
Zhu Di was deep in thought, and seemed to want to pull out those people from Taiyuan Hospital and beat them up. But in an instant, his heart began to beat, and he glanced at Zhang Anshi with an expectant look, and said:
"This disease...does your medicine work?"
"It doesn't work!" Zhang Anshi said: "My medicine is for external application and cannot be taken internally. It treats external injuries."
Zhu Di suddenly became disappointed.
Zhang Anshi saw something from Zhu Di's expression, and said: "But if we improve this medicine and take it orally, it may have miraculous effects."
"Seriously!" Zhu Di suddenly roared.
This time, Zhang Anshi was so frightened that he almost blurted out the words "hero, spare his life" again.
"This...this...brother, can you please stop being surprised? Come on, I see you look so majestic, brother. You look like you are no ordinary human being. I am sincerely convinced. Let me give you a drink."
Zhang Anshi picked up the wine glass.
But Zhu Di didn't react at all, and still stared at Zhang Anshi.
Zhu Di never expected that the medicine used to treat sores could also cure internal injuries.
The most important thing is that his married wife, Empress Xu, has been suffering from lung discomfort for more than a year, and her symptoms are basically the same as what Zhang Anshi said.
And Zhu Di and Empress Xu can be said to have a deep love for each other. You must know that in the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di's three sons, from Prince Zhu Gaochi, to Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, were all born to Empress Xu. From then on, Zhu Di
There were no other sons. This shows how far his relationship with Queen Xu had reached.
Needless to say, Queen Xu is the daughter of King Xu Da of Zhongshan. When Xu Da was alive, he could almost be regarded as Zhu Di's mentor. It was Xu Da who taught him the art of war and even taught him how to behave and control soldiers. Since he and Queen Xu were husband and wife,
It can also be said that they are brothers and sisters.
But over the past year or so, Queen Xu's body has become increasingly weak, and she has been coughing all year round, causing her body to become thinner and thinner, even to the point of being bedridden for several months.
Zhu Di was naturally very anxious. Although he searched for medical prescriptions, he could not find a cure.
In fact, in history, Empress Xu died in the early fifth year of Yongle, which was only two years ago. In the past few years before her death, her body had been weak and tortured by illness.
Now that Zhu Di has finally grasped a life-saving straw, how can he let go?
Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi, which made Zhang Anshi feel terrified.
