"What?!" Zhao Mian stood up with a shocked expression. He could not believe what he had just heard.
"Restore the tax system of the previous Yuan Dynasty?”
Zhao Mian felt that he was crazy.
What was the tax system? Qianyuan contracted out various places to merchants and only stipulated how much tax they had to pay each year.
For example, Huaixi was contracted to a merchant who gave the palace two million taels of silver every year.
The right to levy taxes would belong to him. This merchant would definitely exhaust all means to squeeze the commoners dry. At his cruelest, he could collect six million taels a year!
The huge profits here made all the merchants envious.
That was why he suggested this.
Killing intent gradually rose in Zhao Mian's heart. Compared to power, money was like pork that was at the mercy of others.
Unfortunately, Pu Nan Feng didn't understand this logic. Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had money?
Zhao Mian clearly knew how ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang was. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brothers were all killed by the tax system. If he proposed to restore them, none of his nine clans would be able to escape.
When working with Madman, he had to hold back.
After he became the Minister of Revenue, he would find someone to get rid of them!
Zhao Mian made up his mind. His expression did not change at all. Instead, he said with a smile,"Alright, I'll definitely work hard to achieve it!”
Pu Nan Feng immediately poured him a glass of wine."Lord Zhao is straightforward! Three million immediately!
Shen Nan, who was standing at the side, felt hatred in his heart.
He didn't even mention himself!
At this moment, a servant quickly walked over."Lord Zhao, Mister Pu, there's some movement from the Third Imperial Sun.”
Pu Nanfeng was thinking about the possibility of cooperating with Zhu Yunhao. He asked with interest,""What move?"
"He... He had set up a new yamen and was collecting the banknotes on a large scale!”
"Moreover, it is stipulated that within the entire country, at noon on the first day of June, the banknotes will be abolished. The original banknotes will no longer be in circulation, and all of them will be changed to…Change it to..."
"Change it to what?"
"New dollars!"
The Imperial grandson who was rumored to be as intelligent as Liu Bowen and had never made a mistake actually wanted to issue new coins?
Pu Nan Feng's heart thumped. If that was the case, their biggest source of income would be cut off!
Cutting off someone's money was like killing one's parents!
His face darkened.”
Outside the Noon Gate of Ying Tian Prefecture was the Heaven Bearing Gate, and outside the Heaven Bearing Gate was the magnificent Great Ming Gate. A new yamen was opened next to the Great Ming Gate today, and countless people stopped to watch.
"Eh? Teacher, what was written on it?”
"The Ministry of Revenue is under the jurisdiction of the Bank Department!”
"The name of this yamen is quite long. What do you mean?"
"It's an organization under the Ministry of Revenue. It's called the bank!”
"Bank? What is this bank for?”
The old teacher pretended to know."In Ying Tian City, there are rice and noodle shops. As the name suggests, this bank sells silver!”
"Nonsense! The Emperor had explicitly banned silver, so how could the Ministry of Revenue dare to sell it publicly?”
The crowd was already in an uproar. Pu Nan Feng was hiding at the side."Bank?”
"It's so fancy!"
In the bank, Zhu Yunhao was checking the furnishings. The door was wide and there was a safety exit behind it. There was an iron fence on the counter and a hidden exit inside. A loudspeaker was installed in the secret place, which could quickly call for help. There was nothing wrong with the safety work.
Yang Shiqi was wearing his official uniform today."Your Highness, you will be the one to announce the opening of the bank.”
Zhu Yunhao shook his head."There are so many people out there. There might be some who don't like me. What if someone shoots me in the back? Wouldn't I hate them for the rest of my life?"”
"Besides, I'll be in charge of planning and you'll be in charge of executing.”
So you were waiting for me here!
Yang Shiqi nodded helplessly."Inform the officials to prepare to fire!”
The sound of firecrackers rang out in an instant. Yang Shiqi walked up to the high platform with a big red flower on his head and shouted with a self-made iron megaphone,"Fellow villagers!"
"I'm Yang Shiqi, the manager of the banking division!”
"Everyone must be wondering what this bank is for! He
currently has three functions!”
"The first is the most important, and also the most urgent, task at hand.”
"In the first year of Hongwu, the imperial court began to issue treasure notes, and until now, they have never been collected. The market is flooded with counterfeit money, and the value of the treasure notes has depreciated several times.”
"The Imperial Court is burning with anxiety, but they don't have a better solution.'
"Today, the emperor's grace is vast! The Emperor had decreed that the Third Prince's grandson, Zhu Yun, should build a bank to recover the banknotes and stabilize the currency!”
"From now on, everyone can exchange for notes. Ten strings of intact notes can be exchanged for new coins! A damaged banknote of twenty strings can be exchanged for a new currency!”
"New Dollars?" When the commoners heard this, they whispered to each other. Could this be believed?
Would it still be the same as the banknotes and become worthless soon?
They planned to wait and see.
"His Highness the Third Imperial Grandson knows that you have doubts in your hearts. What's the use of exchanging for new coins?”
"How can the new currency maintain its value?”
'It's very simple! If you have new coins, you can come to the bank to exchange for gold and silver.'
"What?"
"Can new coins really be exchanged with gold and silver?”
Yang Shiqi nodded.”
Although he looked calm on the surface, he was not confident at all. He always felt that Zhu Yunhao had gone too far this time. After all, the amount of money issued by the Emperor was an astronomical figure.
He seemed to have figured it out. This was what His Highness had said about him not being fully prepared!
Indeed!
He was paying for the empty cheque that the previous Zhu Yuanzhang had given him!
Pu Nan Feng also thought of this, and immediately sneered,"The emperor previously issued so many treasure notes, can he recover all of them?”
'Does he have that much silver?'
"Pretentious!"
"This imperial grandson is rumored to be as resourceful as Liu Bowen in Jiangnan. Now that I look at it, it's hard to live up to his reputation.”
Zhao Mian's gaze was equally cold. He thought to himself, This is Zhu Yunhao's first operation since he became the Minister of Revenue. If he is defeated, the Emperor will lose face!
At that time, he would step forward to fill the hole and win the battle for the throne, leaving his name in history.
What a perfect plan.
He was tempted.
"Everyone, why don't we push the boat with the current?”
"What do you want?"
"Didn't he collect the notes and issue new coins? Then we'll collect all the treasure notes in the vicinity and see if he'll exchange them for it.”
They still didn't understand Zhu Yunchen…
Would a sentence not be serious?
'That's reasonable! That makes sense! Pu Nan Feng nodded."Alright, I'll do it now."”
Shen Nan looked at his familiar appearance and felt even more hatred in his heart. He had previously discovered a way to make money, and that was that the rate at which the banknotes in the countryside depreciated was much slower than in the cities. They could buy goods worth one tael of silver in the countryside with the usual banknotes and then sell them to the cities!
In this way, he could earn a huge profit from the difference between the two!
He happily told Pu Nan Feng about how he wanted to integrate with the Jiangnan merchant group, but in the end…
Pu Nan Feng and the others had all made a fortune, yet they had pushed him out of the ranks!
Burning the bridge after crossing the river was intolerable!
"But how much gold and silver reserves does Zhu Yunhao have?”
"How much do we need to collect?”
Zhao Mian smiled mysteriously."It's alright. We'll find out. I've worked in the Ministry of Revenue for so long, it's not for nothing!”
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect Lord Zhao to have a hidden hand. I'm relieved.”
"Let's go, it's boring here. Let's continue drinking!'
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang He, who was hiding at the side, was excited when he heard Zhu Yunhao's generosity. He had a lot of treasure notes in his house, all of which were rewarded by the Emperor.
Others could still rely on their official authority to forcefully spend it, but as the head of the Ming Dynasty's special forces, he knew that everything came from the emperor!
If he was unscrupulous, he would definitely be in a worse state than Mao Xiang.
That was why she had been so obedient all these years…
If he could really exchange for it, he would undoubtedly be the happiest.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also standing in a restaurant in the distance, staring blankly at the Bank Department's yamen. He sighed. How could he not see that Zhu Yunhao was cleaning up his mess again!
This child was steady in his actions and had a good heart.
"Song He, Pin 'er has done such a big thing for us, we can't just stand by and watch. The imperial edict ordered the officials to exchange all the banknotes they had stored, and from next month, their salaries would be distributed in the form of new coins.”
"Yes!"
After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he realized that the commoners looked at each other and did not move. He knew that they were usually unwilling to deal with the yamen.
As the saying went, the yamen opened to the south, and if you had money, don't come in without reason.
He wanted to break the deadlock, but he suddenly thought of the question that Zhu Yunhao had mentioned before. What should he do if he wanted to attract customers…
"You host. I'll go outside first.”
"I know you're a Jinyiwei. I want to see Lord Jiang!" he said to one of them.”
Yang Shiqi's official position was humble, but he was Zhu Yunhao's closest subordinate. The Brocade Guard did not dare to be careless and hurriedly went to find Jiang Hao!
"Lord Yang, why are you looking for me?”
"Could it be that you want the Embroidered Uniform Guards to force the people to exchange?”
Eagle Hounds were indeed Eagle Hounds. Even their methods were so violent!
Yang Shiqi shook his head. At that time, his answer was: If there was no one else, then they would need a substitute.
Only then did he understand that the questions at that time were all for the present!!
"Lord Jiang, are you trying to act like a fool?”
(Is there a wave of gifts?)
(Please give me your free flowers and comments. Thank you, readers.) "What?!" Zhao Mian stood up with a shocked expression. He could not believe what he had just heard.

Unfortunately, Pu Nan Feng didn't understand this logic. Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had money?
Zhao Mian clearly knew how ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang was. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brothers were all killed by the tax system. If he proposed to restore them, none of his nine clans would be able to escape.
When working with Madman, he had to hold back.
After he became the Minister of Revenue, he would find someone to get rid of them!
Zhao Mian made up his mind. His expression did not change at all. Instead, he said with a smile,"Alright, I'll definitely work hard to achieve it!”
Pu Nan Feng immediately poured him a glass of wine."Lord Zhao is straightforward! Three million immediately!
Shen Nan, who was standing at the side, felt hatred in his heart.
He didn't even mention himself!
At this moment, a servant quickly walked over."Lord Zhao, Mister Pu, there's some movement from the Third Imperial Sun.”
Pu Nanfeng was thinking about the possibility of cooperating with Zhu Yunhao. He asked with interest,""What move?"
"He... He had set up a new yamen and was collecting the banknotes on a large scale!”
"Moreover, it is stipulated that within the entire country, at noon on the first day of June, the banknotes will be abolished. The original banknotes will no longer be in circulation, and all of them will be changed to…Change it to..."
"Change it to what?"
"New dollars!"
The Imperial grandson who was rumored to be as intelligent as Liu Bowen and had never made a mistake actually wanted to issue new coins?
Pu Nan Feng's heart thumped. If that was the case, their biggest source of income would be cut off!
Cutting off someone's money was like killing one's parents!
His face darkened.”
Outside the Noon Gate of Ying Tian Prefecture was the Heaven Bearing Gate, and outside the Heaven Bearing Gate was the magnificent Great Ming Gate. A new yamen was opened next to the Great Ming Gate today, and countless people stopped to watch.
"Eh? Teacher, what was written on it?”
"The Ministry of Revenue is under the jurisdiction of the Bank Department!”
"The name of this yamen is quite long. What do you mean?"
"It's an organization under the Ministry of Revenue. It's called the bank!”
"Bank? What is this bank for?”
The old teacher pretended to know."In Ying Tian City, there are rice and noodle shops. As the name suggests, this bank sells silver!”
"Nonsense! The Emperor had explicitly banned silver, so how could the Ministry of Revenue dare to sell it publicly?”
The crowd was already in an uproar. Pu Nan Feng was hiding at the side."Bank?”
"It's so fancy!"
In the bank, Zhu Yunhao was checking the furnishings. The door was wide and there was a safety exit behind it. There was an iron fence on the counter and a hidden exit inside. A loudspeaker was installed in the secret place, which could quickly call for help. There was nothing wrong with the safety work.
Yang Shiqi was wearing his official uniform today."Your Highness, you will be the one to announce the opening of the bank.”
Zhu Yunhao shook his head."There are so many people out there. There might be some who don't like me. What if someone shoots me in the back? Wouldn't I hate them for the rest of my life?"”
"Besides, I'll be in charge of planning and you'll be in charge of executing.”
So you were waiting for me here!
Yang Shiqi nodded helplessly."Inform the officials to prepare to fire!”
The sound of firecrackers rang out in an instant. Yang Shiqi walked up to the high platform with a big red flower on his head and shouted with a self-made iron megaphone,"Fellow villagers!"
"I'm Yang Shiqi, the manager of the banking division!”
"Everyone must be wondering what this bank is for! He
currently has three functions!”
"The first is the most important, and also the most urgent, task at hand.”
"In the first year of Hongwu, the imperial court began to issue treasure notes, and until now, they have never been collected. The market is flooded with counterfeit money, and the value of the treasure notes has depreciated several times.”
"The Imperial Court is burning with anxiety, but they don't have a better solution.'
"Today, the emperor's grace is vast! The Emperor had decreed that the Third Prince's grandson, Zhu Yun, should build a bank to recover the banknotes and stabilize the currency!”
"From now on, everyone can exchange for notes. Ten strings of intact notes can be exchanged for new coins! A damaged banknote of twenty strings can be exchanged for a new currency!”
"New Dollars?" When the commoners heard this, they whispered to each other. Could this be believed?
Would it still be the same as the banknotes and become worthless soon?
They planned to wait and see.
"His Highness the Third Imperial Grandson knows that you have doubts in your hearts. What's the use of exchanging for new coins?”
"How can the new currency maintain its value?”
'It's very simple! If you have new coins, you can come to the bank to exchange for gold and silver.'
"What?"
"Can new coins really be exchanged with gold and silver?”
Yang Shiqi nodded.”
Although he looked calm on the surface, he was not confident at all. He always felt that Zhu Yunhao had gone too far this time. After all, the amount of money issued by the Emperor was an astronomical figure.
He seemed to have figured it out. This was what His Highness had said about him not being fully prepared!
Indeed!
He was paying for the empty cheque that the previous Zhu Yuanzhang had given him!
Pu Nan Feng also thought of this, and immediately sneered,"The emperor previously issued so many treasure notes, can he recover all of them?”
'Does he have that much silver?'
"Pretentious!"
"This imperial grandson is rumored to be as resourceful as Liu Bowen in Jiangnan. Now that I look at it, it's hard to live up to his reputation.”
Zhao Mian's gaze was equally cold. He thought to himself, This is Zhu Yunhao's first operation since he became the Minister of Revenue. If he is defeated, the Emperor will lose face!
At that time, he would step forward to fill the hole and win the battle for the throne, leaving his name in history.
What a perfect plan.
He was tempted.
"Everyone, why don't we push the boat with the current?”
"What do you want?"
"Didn't he collect the notes and issue new coins? Then we'll collect all the treasure notes in the vicinity and see if he'll exchange them for it.”
They still didn't understand Zhu Yunchen…
Would a sentence not be serious?
'That's reasonable! That makes sense! Pu Nan Feng nodded."Alright, I'll do it now."”
Shen Nan looked at his familiar appearance and felt even more hatred in his heart. He had previously discovered a way to make money, and that was that the rate at which the banknotes in the countryside depreciated was much slower than in the cities. They could buy goods worth one tael of silver in the countryside with the usual banknotes and then sell them to the cities!
In this way, he could earn a huge profit from the difference between the two!
He happily told Pu Nan Feng about how he wanted to integrate with the Jiangnan merchant group, but in the end…
Pu Nan Feng and the others had all made a fortune, yet they had pushed him out of the ranks!
Burning the bridge after crossing the river was intolerable!
"But how much gold and silver reserves does Zhu Yunhao have?”
"How much do we need to collect?”
Zhao Mian smiled mysteriously."It's alright. We'll find out. I've worked in the Ministry of Revenue for so long, it's not for nothing!”
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect Lord Zhao to have a hidden hand. I'm relieved.”
"Let's go, it's boring here. Let's continue drinking!'
The commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang He, who was hiding at the side, was excited when he heard Zhu Yunhao's generosity. He had a lot of treasure notes in his house, all of which were rewarded by the Emperor.
Others could still rely on their official authority to forcefully spend it, but as the head of the Ming Dynasty's special forces, he knew that everything came from the emperor!
If he was unscrupulous, he would definitely be in a worse state than Mao Xiang.
That was why she had been so obedient all these years…
If he could really exchange for it, he would undoubtedly be the happiest.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also standing in a restaurant in the distance, staring blankly at the Bank Department's yamen. He sighed. How could he not see that Zhu Yunhao was cleaning up his mess again!
This child was steady in his actions and had a good heart.
"Song He, Pin 'er has done such a big thing for us, we can't just stand by and watch. The imperial edict ordered the officials to exchange all the banknotes they had stored, and from next month, their salaries would be distributed in the form of new coins.”
"Yes!"
After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he realized that the commoners looked at each other and did not move. He knew that they were usually unwilling to deal with the yamen.
As the saying went, the yamen opened to the south, and if you had money, don't come in without reason.
He wanted to break the deadlock, but he suddenly thought of the question that Zhu Yunhao had mentioned before. What should he do if he wanted to attract customers…
"You host. I'll go outside first.”
"I know you're a Jinyiwei. I want to see Lord Jiang!" he said to one of them.”
Yang Shiqi's official position was humble, but he was Zhu Yunhao's closest subordinate. The Brocade Guard did not dare to be careless and hurriedly went to find Jiang Hao!
"Lord Yang, why are you looking for me?”
"Could it be that you want the Embroidered Uniform Guards to force the people to exchange?”
Eagle Hounds were indeed Eagle Hounds. Even their methods were so violent!
Yang Shiqi shook his head. At that time, his answer was: If there was no one else, then they would need a substitute.
Only then did he understand that the questions at that time were all for the present!!
"Lord Jiang, are you trying to act like a fool?”
(Is there a wave of gifts?)
(Please give me your free flowers and comments. Thank you, readers.) "What?!" Zhao Mian stood up with a shocked expression. He could not believe what he had just heard.
"Restore the tax system of the previous Yuan Dynasty?”
Zhao Mian felt that he was crazy.
What was the tax system? Qianyuan contracted out various places to merchants and only stipulated how much tax they had to pay each year.
For example, Huaixi was contracted to a merchant who gave the palace two million taels of silver every year.
The right to levy taxes would belong to him. This merchant would definitely exhaust all means to squeeze the commoners dry. At his cruelest, he could collect six million taels a year!
The huge profits here made all the merchants envious.
That was why he suggested this.
Killing intent gradually rose in Zhao Mian's heart. Compared to power, money was like pork that was at the mercy of others.
Unfortunately, Pu Nan Feng didn't understand this logic. Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he had money?
