The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and pondered, and talked about the eight major benefits of banknotes becoming common currency.

Do you appear to be too omniscient and omnipotent?

In the past, you could use the Franji people to prevaricate, but now the Franji people don't do that. Now the emperor has more time to dig into the root cause, and you can know the truth and falsehoods as soon as you ask.

"After the Qin Emperor unified the currency, he used Qin Banliang to promote the world, making the six countries indistinguishable from each other. Now the court has recovered Tatar and Oara, and there is a currency difference. If the currency can be unified, perhaps the new emperor can become an emperor like Qin King through the ages.

The minister came up with such a plan. "

Qin Shihuang minted gold coins with upper coins and copper coins with lower coins, in units of half a tael, to promote the Six Kingdoms.

Now, just like starting over, there is also an opportunity to unify the world's currency.

The Six Kingdoms and Qin are indistinguishable from each other, largely due to Qin Shihuang's various unifications, but now, the Ming Dynasty has enlarged the scope of unification.

"You want to abolish the currency of other dynasties?" The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

He is a benevolent king and wants to implement benevolent government.

Interfering in the matter of provoking disputes among foreign countries in this way, it is hard to bear the imperial edict, so he does not hesitate to show up.

Yan Chengjin carefully observed the Emperor's micro-expressions and probably guessed something.

"North Korea's tribute may not necessarily mean true submission. The court of the foreign country may not be as good to its own people as the Ming Dynasty was to their people. The emperor does not need to be merciful."

The island country's shogunate system was plagued by military disasters every year, and the people could not farm with peace of mind and exchange their children for food.

Although North Korea began to prosper, the areas outside of Seoul were unable to cultivate and starved to death.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought.

Yan Chengjin continued: "I am not asking for remonstrance to ban it, but I am asking for two coins to pass."

One world, one bank.

Isn't it faster for people in various dynasties to deposit silver into the court's merchant houses than to mine silver mines?

However, we must also consider that the people of the country will be resistant. It may take fifty or one hundred years to see such a fifth-level prosperous age.

Zhu Houzhao secretly glanced at the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and said, "My mind has been made up."

When the princes heard that Zhu Houzhao had issued the imperial edict, they were so frightened that they hurried to the temple.

"The new emperor issued an order, why didn't he discuss it with his ministers?" Jiang Mian asked.

"We discussed it, didn't you masters acquiesce?"

Zhu Houzhao took the langhao pen and pretended to be stupid. He was so angry that the princes were helpless.

Li Dongyang knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not argue with Zhu Houzhao and said solemnly: "Did the new emperor really issue an edict?"

"Down."

…

Seoul, early one morning.

Cheng Minzheng looked at the dozen or so plates of pickles on the low table, his eyes a little hazy, "Is there any letter from the court?"

My nephew really forgot about him!

"have."

The butler took out the letter he received today from his arms.

Cheng Minzheng raised his eyes in astonishment and hurriedly said to bring it over to show me.

Looking at the handwriting, it was my own handwriting. It was indeed a letter from my nephew!

But, why would the wise nephew embarrass him?

If we want to recruit Korean soldiers to go to Oara and circulate banknotes, will the Maharaja and the Uighur Government allow it?

"I'm not going to the academy, I'm going to the palace."

After a while, Cheng Minzheng stood in the narrow sleeping hall, with the Lord of Jincheng sitting in the center, and the government officials and Liucao officials standing on both sides.

The Ming Dynasty wanted the soldiers of this dynasty to guard the border and use a unified currency.

It does no good to this country.

However, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Tatars and Oaras, leaving only a powerful court in North Korea, which made them slightly worried.

"My lord, my dynasty has never had any precedent of guarding the border for another country!"

Recalling Yan Chengjin's words, Cheng Minzheng said: "The imperial court wiped out the Oara and Tatars. Do you want the monarch and the princes to end up with the same fate?"

All the ministers were speechless.

Official Cao Liu Jinzhong asked: "Why don't you see the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty?"

Cheng Minzheng thought about it. Zhu Houzhao often ran to Yan's mansion when he was still the prince. What is certain is that Yan Chengjin will let the new emperor issue an imperial edict to chase him.

"Your Majesty, please wait for a few days."

The Lord of Jincheng has been to the good hometowns of the Ming Dynasty and has a good understanding of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

After dismissing the officials, Cheng Minzheng was left alone.

Looking up, there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Teacher, has that gentleman sent a letter?"

"Well, it's better for your Majesty to follow the will of the imperial court. Now that the people are rich, I say that the world still belongs to your Majesty and will not interfere in the internal affairs of the royal court."

Cheng Minzheng believes that this is already mercy.

With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is completely possible to break through Hancheng and incorporate this place into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, they only circulated currency and sent people to Oara and Tartar to guard the borders.

"I thought of this when we conquered King Wala's city." The Lord of Jincheng sighed with emotion.

During the reign of Emperor Wen, the Hami Guards and the Jurchen Guards were established to allow the Ban people to guard the borders for the imperial court and to give them the power to trade. Today, they are just repeating the same old tricks.

"Your Majesty, it is better to obey. The current ruler is Emperor Zhengde, who is no more merciful than Emperor Hongzhi. He especially likes fighting and does not like to reason."

Cheng Minzheng looked at his former disciple and couldn't help but persuade him.

After the defeat of Oala, there was no fighting on all sides. Zhu Houzhao was eager for the king of Jincheng to resist the decree.

The prince of Jincheng looked much paler and gave up the idea of ​​sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty.

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and an imperial edict came from the Ming Dynasty.

…

As we approach the end of winter, the weather is still freezing.

In the study, Yan Chengjin read the secret letters sent back from Guangdong and Guangxi.

Immediately, I pushed the door out of the courtyard and put on my deer velvet leather boots to feel the slightest warmth. The Little Ice Age was getting more and more serious.

The main hall of the new courtyard is covered with velvet carpets.

But today I want to see Wang Qiong, and it is inconvenient to meet the guests in the new courtyard, so I simply asked him to bring him to the main hall.

"What does your young master want to see me for? Is the new emperor here? Why can't we go to the duty room tomorrow to discuss it?" Although Wang Qiong liked to go to the Yan Mansion, he was not happy to be invited by Yan Chengjin.

This boy rarely sees him, and once he wants to see him, it means he has something important to ask for.

What else can Yan Chengjin's matter be? Just change the rules.

But he dared not not come.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, don't worry, my young master is not a cannibal."

"Yes, your young master is as gentle as jade, and treats me like his own family, but he likes to stab me in the back."

Wang Qiong complained in his heart, and then followed He Neng to the main hall.

In the spacious main hall, the boiling copper pot was steaming, the incense burner on the tea table was rising white smoke, and the maid was sitting next to it to make tea.

"My dear nephew is looking for me?"

"I want to set up a Liangxiang business overseas to store and exchange Hongzhi silver bills."

Guangdong merchants are quite smart.

They set up businesses in island countries and Tang and Song dynasties, and asked the people to deposit silver in the businesses, earning a lot of silver.

"My dear nephew, you don't want to launder silver, do you?"

Wang Qiong squinted and glanced at Yan Chengjin. The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of printing silver bills, but it would not directly hand over silver bills to businesses other than Hongzhi Business.

If Yan Chengjin was not timid by nature, he would have thought he was going to rebel.

"Lord Wang, look, the letters from Guangdong and Guangxi."

Wang Qiong took it and opened it. It was the distribution of Guangdong merchants in overseas businesses. He was puzzled: "What does Guangdong merchants have to do with you asking for silver bills when they set up businesses?"

Yan Chengjin glanced at Wang Qiong and felt that Wang Qiong's knowledge ceiling was not enough to understand, so he decided to take a detour.

"Lord Wang, please listen to the question."

Wang Qiong took a sip of the tea soup, with an expression of "I want to see how you fool me", and smiled: "You say."
