In the back garden of the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sparkling lake in front of him with a deep gaze. Zhu Yunhao walked behind him. It was the first time that the two of them were so silent.
"Pin 'er, you told Yang Shiqi to say what he said today, didn't you?”
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it. I think I guessed correctly.”
Zhu Yunhao usually acted quickly and steadily, but he had been brewing this matter for a long time. If he couldn't even get through Zhu Yuanzhang, then let's not talk about it.
"Imperial Grandfather, I didn't teach Yang Shiqi what he said. He is talented and intelligent, and he comprehended it himself in the Ministry of Revenue.”
"However, we can't overissue the banknotes. Instead, we have to stabilize the banknotes.”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and turned around."Good, the fox's tail has finally been revealed.”
"Weren't you secretly trying to rope in people before? Why did you put it out in the open this time?"
"This is giving all the officials benefits without a bottom line!”
"Imperial Grandfather, treasure notes are the legal currency of the country. It has many conveniences. If it depreciates and becomes waste paper, it will be a huge loss to Great Ming.”
"Firstly, how can the soldiers who have received the reward be willing to accept it?”
"Secondly, the lack of official salaries will open the door to corruption.”
"Thirdly, merchants do business, and commoners don't use money when they go out to shop. Instead, they secretly use silver.'
"Silver isn't legal in the Ming Dynasty. If the Imperial Court can't even control the currency, wouldn't it be announcing its failure to the world?”
"Merchant?"
"You also put in a good word for those merchants?”
"Imperial Grandfather, no agriculture is stable, no business is rich, and no craftsmanship is fine.”
"Bullshit!" Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage."Let's not talk about the pleas for those officials, but how can we tolerate those businessmen!”
"Didn't you see what happened in Hangzhou? He had given them so many favors, but when the imperial court needed them, they had profited greatly from the national disaster.”
"You want to put in a good word for these people?”
"Do you think that we're old and muddle-headed? We can't understand anything anymore!”
"As the grandson of the emperor, you're the one who produces lipstick and sells it, so you're willing to debase yourself. But now, you've become even worse. Do you really think I won't dare to attack you just because I dote on you?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's prejudice against merchants and officials was gradually developed through his travels in Huangjue Temple and Huaixi.
After experiencing the Kongyin Case, Hu Weiyong Case, and Guo Huan Case, it became even more deep-rooted!
"Imperial Grandfather, stabilizing the banknotes is beneficial to all aspects. The officials and merchants are just minor details of the benefits.”
"Why does Imperial Grandfather insist on these two things and ignore the other benefits?”
"You!"
Zhu Yuanzhang choked, his hands trembling in anger.
"The first Yuan Dynasty started to issue treasure notes. At that time, there was a reserve fund, and a regular treasure note could be exchanged for one tael of silver.”
"That's why Kublai Khan's reign was so prosperous. But later on, the notes were destroyed by the emperors, and they were randomly distributed without any preparation!”
"There are even some who have to go to the market to buy food from the farmers just to print a few thousand strings of money.”
"If that's the case, what do you mean by snatching?”
"Liu Bei entered Sichuan to make 100 baht coins and used them to buy food from the people.”
"This is a lesson from the past. Imperial Grandfather loves the people, so he told the people in the palace to buy at a price higher than the market price.”
"The people in the palace are all using precious banknotes. They strictly follow the usual practice of using money to buy things worth one tael of silver, but now, ten strings of money can only be exchanged for one tael of silver on the market!”
"Imperial Grandfather's painstaking efforts have become a tool for them to abuse the people and enrich themselves!”
'Isn't all of this worth pondering?'
"We…Let's..."
Zhu Yuanzhang paced back and forth. He wanted to say something several times, but he didn't know how to refute.
"Our money is not as bad as you say!”
"You're really bold!"
Guo Ningfei heard the argument and quickly ran over."Emperor…Third Imperial Grandson…"
"Don't help me!"
"Hmph, your personality is like mine, but your thoughts are like Biao 'er's! I've been grooming you for so long, and in the end, you've got a second target who dares to contradict me! Let me tell you, I don't care!"
"Good, very good!"
"Emperor, please calm down. Don't be angry and damage your body.”Guo Ningfei tried to persuade him again.
Zhu Yuanzhang took the pocket watch from Song He's hand.""You gave this to me, and now it looks like a strange and obscene skill. Are you planning to open a pocket watch shop in the future and continue your business?”
After saying that, he smashed the pocket watch on the ground. The case and the clock separated with a crack, and the glass was broken.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Get lost! Get the hell out of the palace right now! I don't want to see you ever again!”
Zhu Yunhao wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head."Please take care of yourself, Imperial Grandfather."”
He turned around and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the Jade Ruyi in his hand and stared at his back as he left. He was in a fit of anger just now, but now that he had suddenly left, he felt empty in his heart.
"Eh..."
Guo Ningfei's eyes lit up."ChenQie will go and call Imperial Sun back."
Why is he calling me? Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't keep his face."Let him die now!”
"Let's see if we'll care about him!”
Guo Ningfei kneeled at the side and poured him a cup of tea."Your Majesty, you and your grandson have always been happy with each other. Why are you suddenly so angry?"”
"Isn't it because he contradicted me?”
"Is our money really as bad as he said? I've already used 20 years, but I don't feel anything!”
"Also, increasing the salaries of officials in disguise and giving benefits to merchants are all my reverse scales!”
"We…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of being poor and was really unwilling to give up on the treasure money.
"I'm so angry."
"Emperor, please calm down." Guo Ningfei knew her limits. Even Zhu Yunhao had angered the Emperor. If she persuaded him…
They would probably think that the imperial grandson had extended his influence to the harem.
It added fuel to the fire.
"ChenQie's father sent a letter. The letter said that after twenty-five years of governance, Huaixi has completely recovered its vitality.”
"Smoke is rising everywhere, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.”
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud."That's right. This prosperous scene is our Great Ming Dynasty.”
"Pin 'er has always been steady. Today…"
He stopped talking. Staring at the blue sky, the two of them fell into deep thought.
"Concubine Ning, go and get us the historical records. We must study them thoroughly and then refute them one by one!”
'Let Pin' er kneel in front of me and admit her mistake!'
This personality suited the old man.
At this time, there was an uproar outside the palace. Zhu Yunhao was actually reprimanded and chased out of the palace.
Previously, it had always been a scene of grandfather and grandson sharing the joy of family. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Everyone was guessing whether Zhu Yunhao had approved of Yang Shiqi's suggestion, which made the old man furious and then chased him away.
In the palace.
Zhu Yunwen was ecstatic."Mr. Qi, Mr. Li, have you heard?”
"Zhu Yunzhen was actually chased out of the palace, hahaha.”
"Imperial Grandfather hated him so much that he even smashed the pocket watch he gave him!”
"The heavens are really helping me!"
"His token to enter the palace at any time has also been taken away. The chamberlain told me that the moment he walked out of the palace gate, he was like a frosted eggplant.”
"It's wilting!"
Qi Tai also heaved a sigh of relief.”
'Zhu Yunhao had the absolute upper hand, but who knew that he would make a stupid move and anger the emperor.'
"It gave us a chance to catch up with the latecomers!”
"Your Highness, we can't miss such a good opportunity!”
Li Guan refused to be outdone."Your Highness, Yang Shiqi is still kneeling in the main hall. This shows that the Emperor is still inclined to issue more notes to pay for military expenses.”
'Why don't we mobilize our subordinates to submit a memorial to support the emperor's decision?'
"There's no need to send charcoal in the snow, but it's still necessary to hit someone when they're down.”
Zhu Yunwen was shocked,"I will go to the palace to see Imperial Grandfather now!"”
"I still need to take something first.'Li Guan said mysteriously.
"What?"
"A bowl of noodles!"
When Zhu Yunwen walked to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the guard stopped him."Your Highness, the Emperor has decreed that we won't meet anyone today.”
It seemed like he had provoked someone.
He held the bowl and said,"I specially bought a bowl of noodles from outside the palace to give to Imperial Grandfather. I hope he won't be angry. The Ming Dynasty is the most important."”
"A bowl of noodles?" The guard sized up for a moment before walking into the Palace of Heavenly Purity to report.
After a while, he returned."The Emperor said to put down the noodles. He won't see anyone today."”
"Your Highness, please go back."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes flashed with disappointment as she turned around and left.
Zhu Yunhao's mansion was also crowded with people. Ru Chang rushed over first."Your Highness, what did you say to His Majesty?”
"Why did everything suddenly turn out like this?'
"He said about the notes.”
"Aiya, you're usually a steady person. Why didn't you discuss it with us before you said it? In the hands of the Emperor, treasure notes were a good thing.”
"It represents endless wealth. The emperor is afraid of poverty!”
Zhu Yunhao shook his head. It would definitely be harmful to the country to issue more than enough banknotes.”
"I believe that Imperial Grandfather will definitely understand.”
The so-called reckrecklessness also had conditions.
Zhu Yuanzhang was only blinded by the short-term profits of the treasure notes, but Zhu Yunhao was 70% sure that Zhu Yuanzhang could understand.
She talked back so that he would wake up faster.
This was also a different kind of stability.
Ru Chang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.""What should we do now?"
'Zhu Yunwen will definitely not let go of this opportunity.'
"What if he fanned the flames in the Emperor's ears and finally made a false accusation…"
"We are in danger!"
"Lord Ru, don't worry.”Zhu Yunhao served a plate of prawn tails and prepared to feast on them.
"Aiya, your highness, you don't know how terrifying the emperor's wrath is.”
"In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of heads fell!”
"Shouldn't we be more cautious?”
Zhu Yunhao shook his head and laughed in his heart. Ru Chang, you just don't understand Imperial Grandfather.
"Want some?"
"I don't have that kind of thoughts now. I'm thinking about whether I should learn from the Song Dynasty's Kaifeng garrison. During the Jingkang rebellion, he burned one-third of the Song Dynasty's imperial clan register. In the end, when the Jin soldiers captured the imperial clan according to the register, many people survived and rebuilt the Song Dynasty in Lin 'an.”
'Let me think. Why don't I expel some people from the nine clans? When the butcher's knife falls, I can leave some kindling behind!'
Zhu Yunhao did not say a word.
Ru Chang anxiously paced the courtyard.
"Your Highness!"
He turned around and shouted, Zhu Yunyan was stunned,"What's wrong?"
"Leave some for me."
