Just a few steps away, a little eunuch, whom Yun Xi had seen next to Lao Zhu, rushed over to salute Yun Xi and said, "Third Highness, Your Majesty wants His Royal Highness to go to the Chunhe Palace." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Yun Xi is puzzled, what is Lao Zhu doing with himself at this time? And have seen it today. But Yun Xi believed that no one in the palace would dare to fake the holy decree, and no one would dare to kill him like this, so he took Wang Xi and carried snacks and followed the little eunuch.

Lao Zhu didn't think much about it when he ended the Chongyang party today, but when he went back to criticize the folds, he always recalled Yunxi's expression at that time from time to time. It was a tangled look, and it felt like Yun Xi had something very serious to say but didn't know whether to say it or not. So he ordered to pass on Yunxi. reported that Yun Xi went out today, and Lao Zhu decided that he must solve this problem today, and let the little eunuchs wait at Donghua Gate for Yun Xi to wait for the door where Yun Xi might go, and they must wait until Yun Xi.

When Yun Xi came to the Chunhe Palace, it was already late with him, and Lao Zhu had already been informed, and he didn't have the heart to continue to judge the twists and turns, so he simply sat quietly and closed his eyes to recuperate. So when Yun Xi came in, he saw Lao Zhu who was meditating with his eyes closed.

Yun Xi was surprised, Zhu Yuanzhang, a famous workaholic in history, stopped working and closed his eyes on the side, this style of painting is not right! But he also stood aside. Lao Zhu should have heard the sound of him coming in, opened his eyes, stood up, and said in a tone of concern for his juniors: "What are you doing this afternoon?" ”

Hearing Lao Zhu's tone, Yun Xi also took advantage of the situation to sell a cute (under the age of fifteen can still sell cute), and said: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, I went to the street this afternoon to see how the people are doing." I also ate a bowl of noodles, bought some pastries and came back, I tasted some, it was delicious, and the emperor also tasted it. At the same time, he handed a few packets of pastries to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu took it and said, "Grandpa is not hungry now, he will eat later." He put things on the table.

After chatting a few more words, Lao Zhu asked, "Yun Xi, you seem to have something to say when Yun Xi finished talking about the treasure money this morning?" Lao Zhu probably didn't even notice that his tone had changed.

However, Yun Xi noticed it, thinking that this was Lao Zhu's transition from the role of his grandfather to the role of the emperor, and he couldn't be cute, so he had to get serious. So he also said: "If you go back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson has something to say." The grandson thought that he couldn't let the treasure money depreciate like this, and he had to take measures, but the second brother's measures were wrong; If he had followed his method, the money in the treasury would have been depleted, so he could not do that. ”

"So what do you think should be done?"

According to historical records, Lao Zhu once rewarded Zhu Di with 500,000 treasure banknotes, and the total annual tax revenue of the country did not exceed 4 million yuan, including a large amount of grain and other materials, and there was not enough silver money to exchange for treasure money. Not even thirty percent of the reserves of the Western gold standard era are not enough.

"I don't know who the emperor's grandfather thinks the main users of the treasure banknotes are?"

Lao Zhu was stunned and said, "Does this have anything to do with it?" Treasure money should be used by everyone in the world. ”

Yun Xi saw that he couldn't say that, so he didn't cooperate! He said directly: "Grandpa Huang, in the eyes of my grandson, the advantage of this treasure banknote over silver money is that it is light in weight and easy to carry, so the people who use treasure money are mainly businessmen and officials, as well as some citizens, farmers and rural landlords will not use it, because no matter how strong the treasure money is, it is not as good as gold, silver and copper money." ”

Lao Zhu thought about it, and it was indeed like this.

"Therefore, in order to strengthen the people's trust in the treasure bank, it must start from the perspective of the needs of merchants and officials."

According to Sun Er, there are three things that can be done: first, merchants should be allowed to pay taxes at all the banknotes with treasure money; second, to suspend the issuance of treasure banknotes; Third, the treasure banknote is allowed to be exchanged for something that is very uncarryable, takes up space for preservation, and is easy to break for a long time, but is used by everyone. My grandson felt that the only thing in the country that met this standard was food. It is possible to open special stores in all the places where the political envoys in the country are located, and even if it is initially necessary to open stores in important cities such as Beijing, Wuhan, Chengdu, Xi'an, Beiping, Suzhou, etc., it is allowed to buy one stone of rice at the price of the same banknote to stabilize the value of the currency. ”

"One of the advantages of this is that for merchants, when they can pay taxes and at least half of the tax, they will not think that the treasure money is useless, and they will be happy to carry it; Second, temporarily reducing the issuance of treasure banknotes can make people think that the imperial court is serious about restoring the credibility of treasure banknotes; Third, everyone can use food, treasure money can be exchanged for grain, merchants are willing to trade with treasure money, and officials returning to their hometowns are also willing to take treasure money home, anyway, food is always used, and it can be exchanged in their hometown. ”

"By the way, in order to prevent people from maliciously exchanging treasure money, we can announce that each person can only exchange one stone of rice a day on the grounds of preventing grain merchants from hoarding, and at the same time limit the amount of exchange, so that people can exchange rice every day, and the rice will not be exchanged."

"When everyone has regained trust in the treasure banknotes, and then the issuance is resumed, and the value of the currency is slowly increased, the seigniorage can continue to be collected from the people."

He plagiarized the material-based system implemented by the base areas during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation in order to ensure the stability of the value of the paper money issued. At that time, especially in the SD base area, there was a guarantee that there was enough to exchange 60 percent of the cotton and 40 percent of the grain of all the 'Beihai coins' issued by them, so that at all times, as long as someone used the 'Beihai coins' to buy grain or cotton, they could buy them immediately, so the 'Beihai coins' were also the strongest currency of all the base areas, and the soldiers of Huaye (East China Field Army, later reorganized into the Third Field Army) who held the 'Beihai coins' were unwilling to exchange the 'Beihai coins' for the 'border tickets' and other base area banknotes.

Far away, Lao Zhu listened to Yun Xi's words, how to say it, this is the fourth time that Lao Zhu was shocked by Yun Xi, although he has not heard the word seigniorage this time, but he still understands the meaning and understands that this is a good way. Although Lao Zhu's reason told him that it was impossible, Lao Zhu really felt that Yun Xi seemed to know everything, and for more than a month, he had discussed politics four times, and each time Yun Xi could put forward a plan or solution that others could not think of, but it was reasonable and feasible. These four times the problem is almost completely out of bounds. So for a while, Lao Zhu looked at Yun Xi in a daze and didn't speak.

After Yun Xi finished speaking, he waited for a long time and didn't see Lao Zhu speak, and when he raised his head, he saw Lao Zhu's appearance, he was a little scared, and said softly: "Grandpa Huang? ”

Lao Zhu came back to his senses, and looked at Yun Xi carefully up and down, that gaze was so unusual, it made Yun Xi feel furious in his heart.

After a while, Lao Zhu retracted his gaze and said: "I immediately ordered a reduction in the issuance of treasure banknotes, and allowed the banknotes in Beijing, Wuhan, Chengdu, Xi'an, Beiping, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou to collect half of the tax amount of treasure banknotes. ”

Then Lao Zhu said in a very weak voice as if he was suddenly exhausted: "Yunxi, go back." Yun Xi left very puzzled. Lao Zhu asked all the eunuchs to go out and stay in the house alone.

Yun Xi went back to the Wenhua Hall and met Yun Xi at the Wenhua Gate. Now in this situation, the two of them didn't have anything to say, nodded and passed. However, Yun Xi immediately guessed that Yun Xi must have gone to see his good friend Huang Zicheng.

However, Yun Xi couldn't affect who Yun Xi went to see, so he put it down. After going back, Yun Xi silently assessed the current situation and thought that his chances of victory should be very high. Moreover, it seems that there is no situation where the harem will be decided or lost, and Lao Zhu suddenly pulled the competition from the harem to the foreground, resulting in the power of the harem being completely useless. Then there is no need for me to continue to woo Concubine Li. But it's better to be kind to Wenying in the future, after all, it's his sister.
