At noon the next day, Zhu Xu wore a single coat, went out of the palace, and strolled on Chang'an Street.

"Ye'er, come back, where can't you go."

"Xuan'er, don't touch it, if you break it, you will lose money if you break it......"

"Yi'er, that's a rouge shop, boys can't go, come back to me......"

Xiao Yongning was arresting people all over the streets, shouting and screaming. The three little ones have been out of the palace only a handful of times, full of curiosity about the outside, and want to see, touch, and ask everywhere, so on both sides of the street, the three little ones are running around.

The guards in the dark are also worried, these are all emperors and nobles, if there is some damage, they can't afford it.

Zhu Xu held a piece of pastry in his hand, didn't eat it, paced, and said to Fu Tao beside him: "You mean, the cash in the treasury is close to 300 million taels?" ”

Fu Tao bowed slightly and said, "Yes." According to the statistics of money banks in various places, it is very close to 300 million, and it is still increasing rapidly. ”

After years of publicity, development, and increasing power, the cash deposited by the Royal Bank is increasing, and now it is about to exceed 300 million.

"In other words, you have already issued 300 million new coins?" Zhu Xu said.

For the currency capacity of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xu has always been bottomless, difficult to figure out, and now 300 million new coins have been issued, Zhu Xu still feels that it is far from enough, the currency in the market is already mixed, silver, copper coins, barrels, treasure banknotes, etc. are still in circulation.

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Xu's side face and said, "Yes." However, the ministers do not plan to continue the issuance, and plan to replace it with the main one in the next two years."

Zhu Xu's goal is to expel bad money with good money as soon as possible, and complete the reform of the Ming currency market, so as to achieve the basic conditions for the development of the commodity economy and make sufficient preparations for the development of commerce and trade after the disaster.

Listening to Fu Tao's answer, Zhu Xu was stunned and said, "Why?" ”

Fu Tao knew Zhu Xu's thoughts, and silently organized his words for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, since the known Jiajing year, the silver flowing into my Ming Dynasty from overseas is as high as more than one billion, plus my own silver in China, the ministers estimate that my Ming people's silver collection may be as high as more than two billion, and if it continues to be issued, it may make prices soar and destroy the current balance." ”

Zhu Xu glanced at Fu Tao in some surprise and said, "This is the result of your discussion in the Royal Bank?" ”

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Xu's expression, looked cautious, and said: "It is the conclusion reached by the internal discussion of Qianzhuang, and it has been discussed with the Ministry of Households, the State Administration of Taxation, the Cabinet, the Parliament and other small-scale discussions, and the general view is the same. ”

Zhu Xu had a smile on his face, he was very satisfied with Fu Tao's work, and said: "It's very good that the Royal Money Village can have such an opinion, and it is better to discuss it with other departments." ”

Fu Tao was full of awe of Zhu Xu, who was deepening in majesty and unpredictable, and did not dare to be quite respectful in his every move as before.

Zhu Xu looked at a few children playing around, walked a few steps slowly, and said: "Your idea is right, but just waiting for door-to-door storage, exchange is not enough, we must complete the replacement of currency as soon as possible, for the old currency, I will let Your Excellency order, strictly prohibit circulation, increase the intensity of investigation and punishment, must let the old currency completely withdraw from circulation within five years, the new currency must become the only legal currency, and to ensure the value of the currency and the market balance, can not form inflation or deflation." The leverage role of the royal bank should be fully mobilized. Next year, the treasury will ease somewhat, and I plan to throw money on a large scale to promote the speed of currency substitution......"

Fu Tao understood what Zhu Xu meant, and said, "The minister understands." When the minister returned, he made a plan, reported it to the cabinet, and waited for a detailed charter before presenting it to the emperor. ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and Xiao Ciye's three children each took some snacks and sent them to him, shouting: "Father, this is delicious, eat it quickly......"

"Father, eat me, I'm delicious......"

"Father, Emperor, Father, My, My, My ......"

The three little guys had red faces and excited eyes, obviously very happy to leave the palace.

Zhu Xu took it with a smile, touched the heads of the three little guys, and said, "Let my sister take you to eat something more delicious." ”

The three little ones all cheered, turned and ran away.

Xiao Yongning used to work hard to get out of the palace, but later with Zhu Xu's permission, she went to a lot of places in the capital, and this time she wanted to sneak out to play, but she didn't expect her three younger brothers to give her a headache, where can she play by herself?

The little face is bitter, with three little guys, running around weakly, there is no fun at all.

Seeing this, Fu Tao was just about to raise his hand to say goodbye, and Cao Huachun, who was not far behind, hurriedly came up, and said with a recital on the ground: "Your Majesty, Jiangsu is eight hundred miles away." ”

Zhu Xu glanced at him, but Cao Huachun didn't say much, and silently took a few steps back.

Zhu Xu frowned, opened the playbook, and immediately stopped, looking at the playbook, his brows furrowed slightly.

Fu Tao glanced at Cao Huachun and said, "Your Majesty, the minister retires." ”

Zhu Xu turned around, handed over the notebook, and said, "Take a look." ”

Fu Tao was stunned, took the notebook and looked at it, his face changed greatly after a while, he knelt on the ground violently, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" ”

This is the impeachment recital of a Fu Cheng in Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangsu, saying that Fu Tao used the royal money to make a lot of profits, and transported more than 10 million taels of silver from Suzhou Mansion every year, and led to many merchants, gentry, and common people lost all their money and countless lives.

There were many such recitals in the past, and they were nothing more than watching the royal money bank make money, and the people who were red included merchants, ordinary people, and the government. It wasn't necessarily for embezzlement, but they were jealous and dissatisfied when they saw the royal estate take so much silver from their territory.

However, this kind of performance should not have appeared in Zhu Xu's hands, a small mansion is not qualified to play directly for Zhu Xu.

It was also sent urgently for 800 miles, and it appeared in Zhu Xu's hands on the street.

Fu Tao knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Now that the imperial court is in violent turmoil, there is a transcript of impeachment against him at this time, and he can't help but be nervous when he appears on such an occasion.

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand and pulled his arm up, still looking at the script, silent and silent.

This recital is ordinary, but appearing in his hands is the biggest abnormality.

"How did you get here?" Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, and his tone was quite calm.

Cao Huachun glanced at Fu Tao and said: "This music book first went to the Jiangsu Governor's Yuan, then to the capital, then to the household department, and then to the cabinet, and the staff of the old squad of the Fu Pavilion was sent to the celebrant supervisor. ”

Such a process seems normal, but this is a small Fu Cheng's notebook, how can it be 'normal'?

Zhu Xu pinched his chin, looked at the book, and then looked at Fu Tao with thoughtful eyes.

Fu Tao held his breath and stared, not daring to say a word, but he was quite shocked in his heart.

He also heard the unusualness from Cao Huachun's words, and the unusualness was that this recital was actually sent to the cabinet by his father, what does this mean?

It shows that in this change in the court, his father is not sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and he is also cautiously avoiding risks!

This made him very nervous, and he couldn't help but look up at Zhu Xu.

Their Fu family can be said to be the first powerful person in addition to the royal family, and they are full relatives!

His father has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he is the emperor's most important confidant, and now he is in the cabinet and has a high position!

And he, Fu Tao, is in charge of the royal money house, which is the most important financial institution of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, their father and son basically mastered the two most important things of the Ming Dynasty: money and food!

Such power is almost incomparable in the Ming Dynasty! Even the Cao family, who is known as the emperor's first confidant, Cao Wenzhao, is not as good as it!

It's just that the Fu family is very low-key, and the father and son of the Fu family have always given people a feeling of being invisible, and on some big things, they can hardly see their voices or hear them, but their influence is everywhere.

Now, the situation in the court is turbulent, and great changes are just around the corner, some people can't help it, and want to do something to them, send them these relatives out of the court, and 'return to the basics' to restore the ancestral system?

A drop of cold sweat fell from Fu Tao's ears, and his heart was cold.

He has always been outside the court, and he has a clear view of the court situation.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting have already been deeply involved in this whirlpool, and now, their Fu family is also going to be involved.

What will be the final outcome of this turmoil?

Fu Tao looked at Zhu Xu's calm side face with deep awe. He knows very well that the convening of some opponents ten years ago is to turn his hands into clouds, everything is under control, he has been an emperor for ten years, his foundation is solid, and he has great power, presumably this is also his deliberate plan, right?

What is he going to do?

Fu Tao was apprehensive and didn't dare to think about it, just looked at Zhu Xu's side face, and suddenly felt extremely tall and unfamiliar, and couldn't help lowering his head.

Zhu Xu flipped through the book, squinted, smiled, and whispered to himself: "Interesting, it seems that someone is going to accompany me to play this game of chess?" ”

Fu Tao bowed and stood beside Zhu Xu, deaf to his words.

Zhu Xu threw the notebook to Cao Huachun and said, "In the name of the cabinet, send this letter back to the Suzhou government, and tell the cabinet that this summer, I plan to go to Chengde for the summer." ”

Summer?

Emperor Daming has never said this, except for the Forbidden City, he has hardly ever gone out.

But today is different, going south and north, almost all of the Ming Dynasty has gone around.

Cao Huachun was an outsider from an insider, and when he heard it, his expression was immovable, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, and said, "Obey the order." ”

Fu Tao knew that Zhu Xu's arrangement had a deep meaning, but he couldn't guess it, so he just silently wrote it down and went back to think about it.

At the same time, Shaanxi, Xi'an Province.

Wen Tiren accompanied Fu Changzong and walked slowly on the streets of Xi'an Mansion.

Wen Tiren was quite respectful to Fu Changzong, his face was full of the vicissitudes of worrying about the country and the people, and there were a few strands of gray hair between his hair, and he sighed: "Shaanxi's 'New Deal' is the best way to deal with the disaster, but few people in the world can understand, and now it is the enemy of the whole world, and the lower officials are very worried, even if they can pass this time, they may not be able to be stable next time......

Regarding Wen Tiren's emotion, Fu Changzong didn't hear it, he knew more things than Bi Ziyan, and knew a lot of black history beside him, his expression was calm, and he said lightly: "I heard that there have been many impeachments of me recently, all of which are pressed by you?" ”
