Two hours later, Zhu Bai walked out of the Eastern Palace, his expression filled with helplessness and a sigh.
Even though he wasn't a medical student, the Crown Prince didn't have much time left to live.
He could only use some methods from his previous life to see if he could let this person live for a few more days.
There was nothing else he could do.
To the current him, the trouble was not small.
Taking Lan Yu's daughter was no small matter.
Once the Crown Prince died, he would be a hot potato.
However, he couldn't refuse because Old Zhu's intention was obvious. He wanted to give Crown Prince Zhu Biao a chance. If he refused, his previous image would be completely ruined.
"Hope is in time!"
Muttering to himself, Zhu Bai couldn't help but glance at the Eastern Palace once more.
At this moment, he could only hope that his big brother could live a little longer.
Otherwise, his thoughts could only be thoughts.
Shaking his head, Zhu Bai strode back to King Nan's estate.
At this time, the plaque of King Nan's residence had been replaced.
And he had also become the fastest vassal king to change his throne.
From King Xiang, to King Qiong, and now to King Nan.
It had only been two years.
Zhu Bai returned to King Nan's estate.
At this moment, the turmoil in the entire court had already begun. A large number of vassal kings were moving around.
The ministers of the various departments showed signs of being roped in by the vassal kings.
Zhu Bai naturally sensed this situation. From the moment he stepped into the capital, he had felt something strange. Yesterday, when he entered the Imperial Palace, that old eunuch had taken the initiative to approach him.
All of this was enough to explain the problem.
It was just that Zhu Bai could only be speechless at this kind of behavior.
Just like what was said before, did he really think that Old Zhu was dead?
The Crown Prince isn't dead yet. You guys are simply courting death by playing like this.
He didn't want to get involved.
He just wanted to wait for her to get married and then run away.
He also did not have the mood to manage these officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
"Lord Lu, the Ministry of Revenue has too much gold and silver now.”
"If this goes on, sooner or later, there will be parasites targeting us.”
Xia Yuanji frowned and said,
"I know, but this batch of gold cannot be circulated. Otherwise, there will be a big problem among the people of the Ming Dynasty.”
Lu Chang said with a bitter smile, his expression somewhat helpless.
Lu Chang had never thought that he would one day be troubled by having too much gold and silver.
Just like this moment.
Looking at the warehouse full of gold and silver, he felt a headache coming on.
There was too much gold and silver.
With so much gold and silver, even if Lu Chang had never studied economics, he could feel that if this flowed into the people, there would be a huge problem for the entire people.
He could stay in the Ministry of Revenue.
As time went on, there would definitely be people who would have evil thoughts.
Not to mention that it would take a long time.
Now, there were probably already people who had their thoughts.
"Xia Yuanji, do you think there should be any problems if we gradually transport the gold and silver to the various places?”
Lu Chang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked Xia Yuanji.
"No!"
"Milord, now that Great Ming already has copper coins, treasure notes, and a large amount of gold and silver flowing in, it will make the people's money chaotic. Moreover, once this opening is opened, I'm afraid that in the future...”
Xia Yuanji hurriedly shook his head.
He most likely understood Lu Chang's words.
However, this was obviously not a solution.
By transporting it to other places, it could indeed dilute the impact of the gold and silver.
But now, Da Ming's money was already a little chaotic. If a large amount of gold and silver were added, this kind of chaos would be even more intense.
Moreover, Xia Yuanji had to consider a problem.
That was that the wealth of the world was limited. Now that a large amount of gold and silver were pouring in from overseas, the entire Ming Dynasty's economy would have a big problem.
Even though Xia Yuanji didn't know the term 'economy' yet, the meaning was similar.
Now, King Qiong had brought so much gold and silver in just two times.
What happened next?
This was a question he had to consider.
"Sir, why don't we ask His Majesty to ask King Qiong and King Bu Nan?”
"At the very least, we can't transport gold and silver in the short term.”
Xia Yuanji frowned and muttered to himself.
"King Nan?"
"I understand!"
"Let's go and see His Majesty!”
Lu Chang listened to Xia Yuanji's words and nodded after pondering for a moment.
Soon, the two of them entered the palace.
In the study room.
Old Zhu was a little confused when he heard their report.
"You're saying that there's too much gold and silver for us to handle?”
Old Zhu was stunned and at a loss.
This was the first time he had heard of such a thing as having too much gold and silver. In the past, the Ministry of Revenue had always complained to him about their poverty.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Gold and silver are increasing day by day, but they can't be turned into money and food. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid it will give birth to parasites!”
Lu Chang said with a bitter smile.
He also felt that he might be the only Minister of Revenue who said that there was too much money.
"Your Majesty, the commoners have limited money. Now that gold and silver are pouring in, if they flow into the commoners, it would be equivalent to plundering the commoners 'wealth.”
Xia Yuanji also opened his mouth.
He tried to use the simplest words to let Old Zhu understand what he meant.
After listening to the two of them, Old Zhu vaguely understood.
"Are you saying that the gold and silver can't be used or used?”
After pondering for a moment, Old Zhu asked with doubt.
"Yes, Your Majesty. It's true that the people lack copper coins now. Perhaps this amount of gold and silver won't have much of an impact, but if we open this door and His Highness Nan Wang continuously sends gold and silver from overseas, the people of my Ming Dynasty will probably be poor.”
Xia Yuanji said softly.
As the most powerful existence in this era and the most proficient in economics, Xia Yuanji could undoubtedly sense the risks in the future.
"Do you mean that we don't need the Southern King to send back silver and gold, but only copper?”
Old Zhu hesitated for a moment before he spoke with uncertainty.
"Your Majesty, this gold and silver were brought back by His Highness. Why don't you ask His Highness to come over and see if there's a solution?”
Xia Yuanji hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"So it's like this!"
"Wait!"
"Men, pass on King Nan!"
Old Zhu nodded and pondered for a moment before instructing the eunuch beside him.
Faced with such a situation, he didn't know what to do. Since Xia Yuanji had asked Zhu Bai to come over, he could only summon Zhu Bai over.
When he returned from the Crown Prince's Residence, it was already evening. Zhu Bai was preparing to properly arrange some of his subordinates and was about to have a meal. However, he did not expect that at this time, an edict would come from the Imperial Palace, asking him to enter the palace.
This made him a little confused.
He asked the eunuch beside him.
However, ever since he was going overseas, the eunuch was no longer so enthusiastic.
As for the silver, Zhu Bai had no interest in it, nor did he bring any silver with him.
Shaking his head, he stepped into the palace.
Soon, he arrived at his father's study.
Upon entering, he immediately discovered Lu Chang and another young man.
This made him somewhat puzzled.
"Father!"
Zhu Bai bowed to his father.
"Shi 'er, I called you over this time because the Minister of Revenue has something to ask you.”
Old Zhu said with a smile.
With the terrible performance of the various vassal kings, Old Zhu found that he liked his twelve sons more and more.
She didn't have any messy thoughts and could help him solve all kinds of problems.
Putting everything else aside, the millions of catties of grain and a thousand catties of dried fish every year was enough to make him not so worried.
Not to mention, this fourteen didn't fight for it.
It looked harmonious.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards had just reported that they had gone to see the Crown Prince.
One had to know that out of so many vassal kings who had returned to the capital, only the fourteenth had gone to see the Crown Prince. This also made him even more amiable.
"Your Highness, gold and silver are increasing day by day, but they can't flow into the people. What can we do?”
Lu Chang did not care what his emperor thought and hurriedly asked.
"Gold and silver can't circulate?”
Zhu Bai was stunned for a moment. He really did not expect that he had come this time for this matter.
"Yes, Your Highness. It is true that the people lack copper coins. Perhaps this amount of gold and silver will not have too much of an impact. However, if this opening is opened, Your Highness Nan Wang will continue to transport gold and silver from overseas.”
"Your Highness, is there a way to resolve this?”
Lu Chang nodded and asked curiously.
As soon as Lu Chang finished speaking, everyone's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhu Bai.
At this moment, the few of them were looking forward to it.
Especially Lu Chang and Xia Yuanji.
Zhu Bai looked at their reactions and listened to Lu Chang's words. At this moment, he most likely understood what the problem was.
However, his expression could not help but show a touch of surprise. Originally, when he solved this problem, he would only wait for Da Ming's finances to have problems before someone would notice. However, he did not expect that someone would notice it at the very beginning. This was simply unbelievable.
He could not help but size up the two in front of him.
