Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Initially, merchants were forced to do so. The common people only had banknotes, as the imperial court banned the use of gold and silver. The badly torn banknotes were not worth much, and after they were collected and became rotten, they could no longer be spent.

They could only collect the treasure notes based on their exchange rates, and then take them to the convenience stores in big cities to exchange them for new notes.

The difference was originally used to compensate for travel expenses and losses.

But soon someone discovered that there was a loophole that could be exploited, and a number of middlemen emerged to deal in money.

As of this year, local officials have also been involved in currency speculation, and they have gone much further than the businessmen.

Local government offices collected new banknotes when collecting taxes and used old banknotes when handing them over to the national treasury.

You can pocket the difference without spending a penny.

This is clearly stealing from the national treasury, and it is done by people who know and understand the law. This is intolerable.

"Now that the silver dollar has been introduced, will anyone still use the treasure notes?"

Zhu Di thought it was not feasible.

"Whether to open it or not, do you think no one will use silver now? The common people have suffered from the treasure notes for a long time. It will take at least several decades to collect all the treasure notes issued by your father and replace them with the auspicious cloud treasure notes. How can we not use silver? It is better to put it in the open, which is much easier to control. For example, when those who come back from the sea pay taxes, let them all pay in silver. Didn't the Maritime Customs say that at least more than 2,000 large ships went out?"

Xu asked back and suggested.

"That makes sense. Let Big Fatty discuss it with Xia Yuanji first."

"Well, don't make it too big. Last time I saw the state government present a silver ingot weighing 48 taels. Did they use it as bricks? The common ones among the people are a silver dollar of one and a half taels. It's also convenient to spend."

"Okay, it's convenient to carry it with you. It's not like banknotes, which are afraid of water and fire."

Zhu Di had no objection.

As for the economy, he has to listen to Xu, Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji. He has already realized it.

"Come here, draft an edict."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di called someone in and asked them to write it down directly by dictation, and then he stamped it with his own seal.

"Are you done yet?"

Xu urged with a comb in hand.

"Almost. I'll write another letter and ask Big Fatty to take Little Fatty to go horse racing. I'm away for a while, and I don't know if Little Fatty will neglect his riding and archery skills."

"Hurry up, I'll help you comb your hair after I'm done so you don't get lice."

"it is good."

Ming Dynasty, the second year of Yongle, December, the capital.

Good news came frequently from Annan.

The 300,000 Ming troops were divided into two routes.

A group led by General Zhu Neng entered the country from Guangxi.

Another group was led by Duke Mu Sheng of Qian, who entered the country from Yunnan to join the war.

After successively breaking through Jiling Pass and Duobang City, they had begun to come into contact with the main force of the Annan Li clan.

There is almost no suspense about winning or losing.

Everyone knows this now.

The Queen is suspected to be in the army as well.

Because of the invitations for visitors from officials' wives, it was Zhang Xin who came out to entertain them all, sometimes even the second and third princes' wives.

Zhu Gaochi was scolded by everyone in the court, but he was not angry.

There is a kind of pleasure in the air, that is, after doing something bad, the situation will be settled by the time the enemy finds out.

So in the afternoon, Zhu Gaochi went to the main hall to finish his class in a very good mood, while Qian Er was ordered to carry a large pile of memorials back to the study he and Zhang Xin shared.

Their study room has now been specially renovated and is now three times as big as the original one.

One wall is covered with double-glazed windows, and the other wall is covered with books.

The remaining two walls are the desks of Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin.

The study is brightly lit whether day or night, and reading and writing are very easy on the eyes.

In the middle of the study is a super large desk.

After finishing the class in the main hall, Zhu Gaochi brought his six children back for dinner.

Yes, that’s right, King Ning’s two children are here again.

After eating, the six children completed the homework assigned by their teachers that day at the big desk.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Xin struggled with the memorials until midnight.

At this time, the children were writing big characters quietly, while Zhu Gaochi was discussing with Zhang Xin who among the royal family could be used.

"It's my second uncle's house. It's hard to say. Let's go there and check it out first."

Zhu Gaochi started from the beginning.

The first thing I want to do is sigh.

Zhu Shangbing, the eldest son of his second uncle Zhu Chong, was born in the 13th year of Hongwu. His second uncle's backyard had been in chaos for so long, and this cousin had also been in chaos for a long time, so he was not optimistic.

"Then go ahead."

Everyone knows about Zhang Xin anyway.

Later, his father-in-law issued an imperial edict to rebuke him for presumptuous behavior. He actually called his parents "imperial father and mother". Later, his father-in-law sent people to greet him, but he refused to greet them and was arrogant. He died quite quickly, in the tenth year of Yongle.

"My third uncle's cousin, Ji Hui, is a little bit stupid and not smart enough, so forget it."

Zhu Gaochi turned the page and looked at the second person. He still wanted to sigh.

This cousin was born in the eighth year of Hongwu. I had a lot of contact with him when he was studying in the capital. He was a nice person, but he was very straightforward and didn't know how to speak.

"Then come again."

Zhang Xin still made the decision for Zhu Gaochi.

This eldest son, who was later slandered by his younger brother, actually lost his title of King of Jin and became a guard of the mausoleum. He was useless.

"You know about my fifth uncle's family. The lawsuit between Zhu Youdun and Zhu Youqie. The second son denounced his own father in order to prevent the eldest son from inheriting the title... Cousin Youdun is also stupid."

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to read on after looking at a few of them. He originally wanted to put all these uncles and brothers to use.

But, how can I use the crooked melons and cracked dates?

"How is Uncle Six?"

Zhang Xin didn't want to comment and asked the next one directly.

Zhu Youdun from the fifth uncle's family is quite useful. He is helping his father with the things in the botanical garden, and he is doing a great job. She doesn't want to give him to Zhu Gaochi at all!

"In the 30th year of Hongwu, Uncle Six went to fight against the barbarians and asked for 300,000 military pay, but he did not personally go to the battle. He just built a city wall there and came back. When Dad ascended the throne, he was the first to come and flatter him. I don't want to use him."

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head a little more.

The people of the Zhu family are so disappointing!

"Where's Uncle Seven?"

Zhang Xin continued to ask.

"Seventh Uncle also led his own army to war before. He has some military skills and captured Nair Buhua alive. He has a little cleverness, but it can't be used for big things, but it can be used for small things."

Zhu Gaochi temporarily put a check mark next to his seventh uncle.

It’s already seven, and there’s still no one available.

At least one can come to fill in the numbers.

Zhang Xin remained silent. Reality would slap Zhu Gaochi in the face soon anyway.

Or the kind that covers your head and face.

My seventh uncle, Zhu Yuan, the King of Qi, was one of the vassal kings who were deposed by Zhu Yunwen. After his father-in-law ascended the throne, his title was restored and he returned to his fiefdom.

No one knows what's going on in his mind. He keeps death warriors and assassins in his fiefdom, and even recruits strange sorcerers to cast curses. He uses his guards to guard Qingzhou City, and builds the city wall together with the wall of his palace to isolate it from the outside world, and forbids the guards to patrol the city at night.

When his father-in-law summoned him to Beijing to explain, he said it was a false accusation.

Are Jinyiwei dead?

It’s so weird!!!
