My clinic is familiar with ancient times, Zhu Biao came to seek medical treatment

"I have used their own weapons to force them to agree to open the sea. At least on the surface, they all agreed." Zhu Houzhao replied.

Zhu Gaoxu comforted him: "Good boy, you did a good job. Here, this braised egg is for you."

Zhu Gaoxu took the braised egg from his instant noodle bucket and gave it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao handed his sausage to Zhu Gaoxu: "Grandfather, let's have a good rest tonight, and give them a hard time in the morning court tomorrow?"

"Sure, just tell me what to do."

"This way, this way, this way..."

Li Chengqian, who was drinking instant noodle soup on the side: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Father's decision was absolutely right.

Although they are both eighteen years old, this brother named Zhu Shou and his courtesy name Houzhao is really fierce!

...

When Li Zhongfu was still sleeping in the quilt, the morning court of Zhengde time and space had already begun.

The cabinet ministers led the civil and military ministers into the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

After the ceremony, everyone stood up and saw that besides the young man that day, there were two more middle-aged people around Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

One of them was tall, with a leopard head and round eyes, and he was majestic without anger. .

The other one was slightly thinner, with fair skin and sinister eyes.

They all looked like they were not easy to mess with!

It would be fine if there were only three more people standing next to the dragon throne.

The key point is that all three of them were wearing dragon robes that only princes of the royal family could wear.

"Your Majesty, who are these three princes?" Feeling that the ministers were all looking at him, Li Dongyang asked reluctantly.

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Their identities are not suitable for the time being. Let's discuss the matter first."

"Yes."

The ministers reported on government affairs one after another.

But in fact, this kind of court rarely discusses specific matters.

Generally, they go through some necessary procedures, report the progress of some things that can be made public, announce some personnel appointments, etc.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao does not need to speak much, just a few words occasionally.

Time Time passed quietly in the expectation of the four of them.

Finally, the ministers stopped talking.

"Have you reported everything?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Li Dongyang turned around and looked at the officials.

None of the officials moved.

"Your Majesty, the report is finished." Li Dongyang said.

"Okay, since you have all reported, let's discuss the cabinet and the treasure banknotes next."

All the ministers were stunned.

Why bring this up again?

We no longer criticize the opening of the sea.

Your Majesty, are you a dog-faced person?

Can you turn your face when you say so?

Yang Tinghe has always been a strong-willed person, impulsive and overbearing.

He had already had a lot of opinions about the maritime ban before, and this time he couldn't bear it at all.

He came to the middle of the hall and was about to speak.

Zhu Houzhao interrupted and said, "Yang Master, I know you want to talk, but I don't want to hear you talk now, please wait a moment. "

Yang Tinghe had to hold back his anger: "Yes."

Take out a set of Zhengde banknotes numbered 2 from his sleeve and hand them to Liu Jin. Zhu Houzhao said: "Show them to you, my dear ministers."

This set of banknotes was sent by Zhu Biao yesterday.

Compared with the Hongwu version of banknotes, this set of banknotes only changed the words "Hongwu 11th Year" to "Zhengde 4th Year", and the rest is exactly the same, so it is printed more quickly.

The ministers didn't understand.

But they still passed the banknotes one by one.

"Your Majesty, have you designed a new set of treasure notes? Yes, they are indeed more beautiful than the original treasure notes, but they are still the same." Yang Tinghe said.

"Look, you are in a hurry again, and I haven't finished speaking yet." Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Let me first explain to you why the treasure notes are depreciating year by year. Speaking of economics... ”

As Zhu Houzhao explained it, not only Yang Tinghe and others who were new to this knowledge, but even Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Li Chengqian who had heard of it for a long time felt that they benefited a lot.

"Your Majesty is really a genius. He can figure out all the things here. I was impatient before. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Yang Tinghe was not a stubborn person. He apologized with fear and trepidation.

Other officials also spoke in praise.

Including some officials who actually did not want to praise Emperor Zhengde.

"This economic theory is really penetrating and refreshing."

"It turns out that the amount of currency directly affects the price of goods, and it is also related to the livelihood of thousands of households. We were shallow before."

"If there is a large amount of gold and silver for exchange, and then this set of treasure notes is issued, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be very rich."

"Your Majesty is wise, and the late emperor can rest in peace. "

"Wow, Your Majesty has finally grown up, I am so relieved."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Since everyone has understood, let me tell you my plan. I plan to promote the treasure notes in all the major imperial farms and stores, so that the people can have a preliminary understanding.for a moment.

Later, I intend to implement the Single Whip Law, and all taxes in the Ming Dynasty will be converted into money in a unified manner, so as to save the transportation of various grains and goods, and the money collected by the court when collecting taxes can only be this new banknote.

In addition, the taxes collected by various customs must also be in the form of banknotes, and other gold, silver and copper coins will not be collected for the time being. "

Officials all frowned.

Do we need to issue banknotes?

But there is not enough gold and silver to exchange.

Isn't that a castle in the air?

The most important thing is that the Single Whip Law is not a good thing.

Once taxes are only based on money, there is no need to transport food and other things.

How can officials at all levels manipulate it?

This is going to kill us!

Yang Tinghe knew that Zhu Houzhao's arrangement was very correct, but the timing was wrong. It might provoke officials to resist in various ways, which would lead to instability in the government, unrest in the local areas, and the people would be at a loss.

He opened his mouth to persuade.

Zhu Houzhao once again spoke first: "Li Dongyang, Li Aiqing, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, do you have any opinion on this matter? "

Li Dongyang was very smart, so he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

But he was indecisive and hesitated again.

Zhu Houzhao threatened secretly: "Whether my method is good or bad, so many officials are watching, and people in the future will also discuss it. You must think carefully before answering, to win a good reputation in your lifetime and after your death! ”

Li Dongyang: …

Your Majesty, you know that I like to think about things, but I just don’t have the ability to make decisions. Why do you always ask me such critical questions?

If I praise you, I will offend the officials.

If I oppose you, I will offend you again and may be infamous forever.

How can I choose?

Alas, it would be great if Liu Gong was still here, so that he could take the lead.

I now suspect that the reason why you left me alone as the chief minister of the cabinet is to make me waver so that you can take advantage of the opportunity.

Zhu Houzhao wanted this effect, and he winked at Liu Jin imperceptibly.

Liu Jin understood and coughed lightly.

Officials of Liu Jin’s faction immediately stood up to support him.

“Your Majesty’s method is very appropriate, and it will surely enrich the country and strengthen the people. I fully support it. ”

"Mr. Huang is right. This banknote is convenient and saves trouble. As long as it is properly supervised, it can stabilize prices, strengthen people's hearts, and consolidate national strength. It can be called a magic weapon."

"Mr. Li, I didn't want to say anything about you, but your performance twice in a row has disappointed me. As the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, you have to show your decisiveness."

"That is to say, no matter it is good or bad, where it is good or bad, you can't always keep silent."

Li Dongyang:...

Can I say that I resigned again after the last court meeting?

But His Majesty just didn't approve it!
