Chapter 37 New Dollars
After walking, Zhu Youxiao officially returned to his old job and became a teacher, but this time it was different, all the beauties sitting below were all beautiful women, most of them were his nominal wives, although there were many wives in this group that he had not touched yet.
"The old rules, the first to learn, I meet one condition for her." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile. This bet, whether it is for Zhu Youxiao or for the concubines below, is a good choice, after all, there are all beautiful women here, and in the harem, this bet is definitely the most attractive, far more attractive than gold and silver wealth.
Women conquer the world by conquering men. In this period, in the harem, this sentence is interpreted more than at any time and anywhere.
……
The next day, Zhu Youxiao's most ambitious plan to cheat money finally came with useful news.
"Master, Zhang Tianshi's affairs are already being done." Wang Liqian said softly.
"How did you start? Did the people send it out? Although Zhu Youxiao was very concerned about this matter, considering that this matter was very involved, he couldn't bear it and didn't urge it.
"The people have been sent, and Zhang Tianshi did not come forward in person, but arranged for his disciple Zhang Hui to come forward, and he acted behind the scenes." Wang Liqian replied.
"I know he won't come out in person, how are things going now? Send someone to keep an eye on it, and there must be no mistakes or omissions in this money. Zhu Youxiao advised.
"Zhang Hui was expelled from the division by Zhang Tianshi under the pretext of being expelled from the division, Zhang Hui left for more than 20 days, of which it took nearly ten days to prepare, and now the matter has been done for more than ten days, according to the news, there are very few people who believe it now, Zhang Hui used some of the connections he accumulated in Zhengyi to promote this matter." Wang Liqian said.
The plan had only been in place for more than 10 days, the spread was limited, and it had only just been implemented, and it was suddenly difficult to gain the trust of strangers.
"You go and help him, help him add to the fire, now you need a famous and influential person to promote, this thing will be done faster and better." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.
"The minister immediately arranged for someone to do it." Wang Liqian responded.
"No, you have to do it yourself. You have also made a lot of money in the palace, and you should also contribute to the empire. Now that this matter is done, I will definitely not treat you badly. Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Liqian and said coldly.
"The crime of capital punishment." Zhu Youxiao's words made Wang Liqian break out in a cold sweat.
"In the past, I said that I would not blame the past and do things well with my heart. If I can become a generation of Ming Emperors, you will definitely become my Three Treasure Eunuchs. Zhu Youxiao's old habit did not change, and he drew another cake. In the Ming Dynasty, the Three Treasures Eunuch was the lifelong goal of almost all eunuchs in the palace.
"Thank the emperor for his grace, and the minister will do it immediately." Wang Liqian kowtowed and said.
"Do you know what to do?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"The minister knows what to do." Wang Liqian nodded and said.
……
Song Yingxing's first batch of new coin samples has also been made. Among this batch of new coins, all seven specifications of new coins required by Zhu Youxiao have been manufactured. Song Yingxing's batch of new coins, in this era, is very exquisitely made, one or two silver coins printed on the front is Ran Min's head, and the back is printed with "Ming Empire" five small characters and "one or two" two big characters.
The head printed on the front of the silver coin is Wen Tianxiang, the head printed on the silver coin is Yue Fei, the head printed on the copper coin is Zu Li, the head printed on the copper coin of five coins is Huo Quai, the head printed on the copper coin of one coin is Lu Xiufu, and the head printed on the copper coin of half a coin is Meng Tian. Zhu Youxiao did not want to print the famous ministers of this dynasty, and he was worried that the opposition was too loud and not conducive to the promotion of the new currency.
Zhu Youxiao gently pinched the center of one or two silver coins with his index finger and thumb, blew the vertical edge of the silver dollar violently, and quickly put it to his ear to listen, and sure enough, the tail note was long and clear.
"Song Juzheng, I asked to summarize a set of notices on how to identify real and fake new money, for example, blowing silver coins like me, the silver money will make a sound, in short, the more detailed the better, so that the people can easily distinguish the real from the fake, after the notice is written, I ask that when the new money is issued, the notice will be pasted all over the capital. The new currency will be trialled in Beizhi first. Zhu Youxiao said.
"No." Song Yingxing replied.
"The Song Bureau is minting new coins and giving bullfighting clothes." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Song Yingxing kowtowed and said.
……
The new coin has been minted, and now it's a matter of how to promote it. Zhu Youxiao is ready to set up a money bank, and the people of the money bank can arrange a group of old people in the palace, and the money bank can be saved, and it can also be exchanged for new currency by the people. In 2016, among the most profitable companies in the world, from the second to the fifth place are the four major state-owned banks in China.
With his current status, Zhu Youxiao doesn't do the money business, and he seems to be too sorry for himself. He's going to do both at once.
"Rank minister, this is a sample of the new currency, do you have any comments?" Zhu Youxiao decided to discuss these two matters at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, the coinage has paid attention to the round sky, and this new money does not conform to the ancestral system, and the minister thinks that it is not suitable for the implementation of the world." As Zhu Youxiao expected, the most conservative people would oppose it from the ancestral system.
"Are heaven and earth round and round? I tell you that the earth is round, if you don't believe it, you can go to the sea and see, I promise you to see the mast first, and then you can see the ship, I know that you don't believe what I say, and I will prove it to you in the future. It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. Zhu Youxiao said coldly.
"Your Majesty, can ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao, who said impatiently: "There is no need to discuss this issue, so it is decided." "For these old stubborns, Zhu Youxiao sometimes really wants to drive them all out of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, there are avatars cast on the new money, who are these avatars?" Gongbu Langzhong Wanxiao asked. For this problem, Zhu Youxiao also expected.
"The avatar of one or two silver coins is Ran Min ......," Zhu Youxiao introduced all the avatars.
"The minister thought that the head of a tael of silver coins should be cast by the Confucian saint." Wan Xian suggested. It is a good thing to cast the head of the coin for the people, and now Zhu Youxiao actually cast the head of one or two silver coins is Ran Min.
"The minister thought that the avatar of one or two silver coins should be Emperor Gaozu." Someone objected.
"How can the heads of Sage Kong and Emperor Gaozu be minted on coins, this is a great disrespect to the two." Immediately, there was opposition to the two men's opinions.
……
The entire court suddenly became a pot of porridge, and everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
