The grand opening of the Great Ming Imperial Bank came to an end.
There was not much trouble.
When he could give everyone benefits, the so-called obstacles naturally did not exist.
Especially the exchange of banknotes, almost all the nobles in the capital were overjoyed, almost kneeling down and kowtowing to Zhu Bai.
In the eighth year of Hongwu, a stone of rice could be bought with one string of notes. However, as the Ming Dynasty issued a large number of notes, the value of these notes began to shrink. By the first year of Yongle, the value of a stone of rice was equivalent to ten strings of notes. In other words, in just twenty years, the Ming Dynasty's notes had depreciated by more than ten times.
What was even more exaggerated was that the banknotes were no longer being taken back.
This was awkward.
This caused the entire banknote to depreciate rapidly.
Even though the policy of no longer taking back money was issued in the 28th year of Hongwu, there were already signs of this.
However, the nobles were getting more and more money.
At this moment, the Great Ming Imperial Bank was able to exchange for it, which was equivalent to creating something out of nothing for them. How could they not be informed?
And amidst this joy.
Almost everyone exchanged their notes for gold and silver coins.
Large amounts of gold and silver coins began to flow into the hands of the various nobles.
At the same time, a large number of copper coins were mixed in.
If gold coins and silver coins were still valuable enough to be collected, then copper coins, although equally exquisite, were quickly used by people.
Compared to copper coins, which were more convenient and more expensive, money was quickly accepted by the market.
For a time, there were already many traces of copper coins being used in the capital.
Under such circumstances.
A new business also began to flourish in the Great Ming Imperial Bank.
"Hiss, have you heard?”
"What did you hear?"
"You know Minister Wang from the north of the city, right? His family is extremely rich. It is said that this morning, he brought boxes of money to the Daming Bank.”
"Why are you bringing money to Daming's?”
"Of course it's about saving money. It's said that there's an annual interest of one cent!”
"Really?"
"F * ck, maybe it really is. The Li family in the south of the city seems to have brought a box to Daming money house today.”
"Yes, yes, I saw that the Liu family in the west of the city seems to be the same.”
"Do you think it's true that you said you would pay interest when you save money a few days ago?”
"I think it might be true!”
.......
As the voices mixed in, the people of the capital once again fell into a heated discussion.
At this moment, their hearts began to throb.
There was interest in saving money, and it was even one cent. If they could guarantee it, they would undoubtedly be even more tempted.
This This was especially so when there was someone taking the lead.
Many people had an idea.
As for the Daming Bank, after a month of operation, everything had stabilized.
Zhu Bai no longer stared at them, but observed these people to see who had potential.
Today, in the second building of the Ming Royal Bank, Zhu Bai's gaze looked down.
A young man was busy there.
"Minister Wang, this is your receipt, a total of fifty gold coins, seven silver coins, and fifty copper coins. Keep it well, you will be given one cent of interest every year, you can exchange it at any time.”
With a smile, the young man handed a receipt to the middle-aged man.
"Lord Liu is too polite!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly took it and did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
As for him taking the initiative to save money, it was naturally because of his relationship with Zhu Bai. Zhu Bai had visited all the wealthy families in the capital one after another for only one purpose.
Let them save money.
As long as they could save money, he would bring them to Nanyang to do business.
With this temptation, almost no one would reject it.
In the next seven days, most of the rich families in Beijing came to save money.
The amount of copper coins and ingots that had been consumed increased again at this moment.
Flipping through the account book in his hand, even Zhu Bai could not help but sigh.
Originally, it was not the Ming Dynasty that lacked copper, but the Ming Dynasty that lacked copper.
In just a few days, the copper coin had received more than ten million strings of coins. It was simply unbelievable.
One had to know that this was only the capital. Compared to the entire world, it was not even a drop in the ocean. Even if the capital was the wealthiest place, the entire Ming Dynasty was an extremely huge place.
Shaking his head, his thoughts returned.
Zhu Bai once again sized up the young man.
The young man continued with his work.
The next moment, the officials who were receiving their salaries entered.
"Lord Wang, this is your salary for this year, a total of five silver coins and ten copper coins.”
"If Lord Wang doesn't need it urgently, you can let my Daming Bank store it with one cent of interest every year.”
As he spoke, he was currently selling money to the officials.
Under this person's eloquence, that Lord Wang was indeed moved.
In the end, he only took ten copper coins and saved five silver coins.
Then, one by one, they passed through.
The young people all looked extremely calm.
Looking at this Zhu Bai, he could not help but reveal a satisfied expression.
"Liu Guan!"
"Hongwu eighteen years, passed the Jinshi examination, was appointed Taigu County Mayor, recommended to be promoted to the supervisory censor.”
Zhu Bai slowly read out this person's name.
He silently remembered this person in his heart.
During this period of time, he had been observing these people.
Within a month, he had already taken a liking to three people.
He believed that in another two months or so, he should be able to select suitable personnel.
He was very satisfied with this.
Of course, Old Zhu was also extremely satisfied.
Over the past month, he could clearly feel that his government orders were becoming more and more smooth.
The officials became even more enthusiastic.
At the same time, the entire capital had become much more prosperous.
When Zhu Bai stepped into the study.
Old Zhu's expression could not help but appear extremely happy.
"Shier, you did well. Xia Yuanji just reported that our Great Ming's treasury should be able to double this year's income.”
Old Zhu said with a smile, his gaze filled with pride as he looked at Zhu Bai.
"Then congratulations, Imperial Father. My Great Ming is getting stronger and stronger, far surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties. Prosperity is like brocade, and the prosperity of the Tang and Song Dynasties is just around the corner!”
Zhu Bai smiled and congratulated.
"Haha!"
"But you're only twelve. Don't worry about the rest. Your wedding is in two months.”
"Prepare well!"
"The Duke of Liang isn't that easy to get along with. If you make him unhappy, your wife might fly away.”
Old Zhu laughed and said,
"Your son understands!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Bai nodded.
He did not say anything.
As for not taking the blue jade daughter, he had thought about it before, but at this point, he had no way out.
Not to mention that he was only a prince, even the crown prince could not play like this.
He just wanted to marry Lan Yu's daughter.
His previous thoughts inevitably appeared in his mind.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and spoke to Old Zhu carefully.
"Father, your son wants to exterminate those pirates, but the army is not good enough. Your son wants to invite the Duke of Liang to come to my fief in the future and train some soldiers to deal with those pirates and avenge Father.”
As he spoke, Zhu Bai had no choice but to be careful.
After all, if he thought too much about these words, it would be terrible.
As for what he said…
The reason was very simple. It was better to abduct Lan Yu than to stay in the capital and wait for death.
Blue jade, that was blue jade.
The famous generals of ancient and modern times could be considered top-notch existences.
He was courageous and resourceful, brave and good at fighting. He had made many military achievements. He defeated the Northern Yuan in the Fish-Catching Sea and basically destroyed their official system, making him famous all over the world.
Old Zhu had given his son Zhu Biao the top-notch martial arts group of the Ming Dynasty as a preparation for his son to inherit the throne and completely wipe out Northern Yuan. However, the crown prince had died, and the young emperor's grandson was still young. Prince Zhu Biao's Martial Artists Group was completely massacred, and in the end, they ended up like Zhou Yafu.
If he could protect this person, he would definitely be able to soar to the sky at that time.
It was just that when he said this, coupled with the fact that Old Zhu wanted him to marry Lan Yu's younger daughter, it was easy to overthink things.
Especially now that all the vassal kings were fighting for the position of heir apparent.
Now, his actions might be seen as such.
But he had to say it.
Otherwise, if he really did that without any prior notice, the problem would be even bigger.
Zhu Bai's expression was somewhat perturbed, and at this moment, Old Zhu could not help but instantly frown.
He sized up Zhu Bai.
For a moment, they fell silent.
Seeing Old Zhu fall into silence, Zhu Bai's heart couldn't help but palpitate, but he still forced himself to remain calm.
After a moment of silence.
Only then did Old Zhu speak.
"Sure!"
"How long do you need?"
Old Zhu's words were slightly fluctuating. As for what he was thinking, perhaps only Old Zhu himself knew.
"It won't take long. Half a year is enough. With the Duke of Liang's ability, half a year is enough for my soldiers to have the ability to deal with the pirates.”
Zhu Bai hurriedly said.
...............
(There are mainly system characters, but these system characters do not have enough top-notch geniuses, so they need to obtain some from Da Ming to improve the entire system. The blue jade protagonist wants to protect them. After all, they died too unjustly.)
