"Lin Dan Khan's bounty?" Zhu Youxiao asked suspiciously. Regarding Lin Dan Khan's silver reward, Zhu Youxiao really doesn't remember.

"In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, His Majesty Emperor Shenzong Xian agreed to give Lin Dan Khan 40,000 taels of silver every year for Lin Dan Khan to assist my Ming in guarding Guangning City. Now Lin Dan Khan's envoy Guiying is already on his way to Beijing. Han Yi replied.

was reminded by Han Yi like this, Zhu Youxiao remembered that this was the so-called strategy of "using razing to defeat raze" proposed by a group of people with bad heads, which was to use the Mongol Lin Dan Khan to balance Nurhachi. But this Lin Dan Khan didn't do anything at all after receiving the silver, and even after the Chongzhen time stopped giving the silver, Lin Dan Khan immediately invaded the Ming Dynasty, killing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty, and almost captured Datong City.

"Did Lin Dan Khan take the money and do anything?" Zhu Youxiao sneered.

"This ......" Han Yi was asked by Zhu Youxiao and didn't know how to answer.

"The money is received, and nothing is done, is there any point in such cooperation? He is really thick-skinned, and he dares to send someone to ask for a reward. Zhu Youxiao asked.

"But if you don't give a reward, I'm afraid that Lin Dan Khan will form an alliance with Jianyu and deal with me together." Li Qiyuan said.

"It is impossible for Lin Dan Khan to form an alliance with Jianyu, but if he doesn't give a reward, Lin Dan Khan may knock on the gate." Zhu Youxiao retorted.

"The minister thought that the reward silver still had to be given, and the reward was not much, only 40,000 taels a year; Second, it can stabilize Lin Dan Khan and avoid the Ming Dynasty from facing Jianlu and Xiyi at the same time. Han Yi analyzed.

"If you want to reward silver, why do you have to let me weigh how many catties and taels he has? Now cut off the silver reward, Lin Dan will not be able to knock until June next year at the earliest, and the most likely route for Lin Dan Khan is the line from Datong to Xuanfu, I will let them prepare, and then see if Lin Dan Khan is worth 40,000 taels a year? Zhu Youxiao said disapprehantly.

"Your Majesty, no, about the matter of rewarding silver, you can give less, but you can't not give it, after Guiying enters Beijing, the minister is willing to come forward to discuss the matter of rewarding silver, and the minister will definitely be able to reduce the amount of silver to less than 20,000 taels." Li Zongyan hurriedly said.

"The minister thinks what Li Ge Lao said is very true, and please think twice about it." Han Yi also said.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Li Qiyuan also agreed.

"Since all of you think so, I will allow you to discuss the matter of the silver reward first." Zhu Youxiao said.

……

After sending off the three ministers, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned Li Yongzhen and said: "If Lin Dan Khan's envoy Guiying enters Beijing, notify me immediately, and at the same time send someone to keep an eye on Guiying, I will know all the whereabouts of Guiying." ”

"No." Li Yongzhen replied.

After nearly a month of preparation and construction, the Daming Imperial Bank mobilized a large number of manpower and material resources in the palace, and under the personal instructions and coordination of Zhu Youxiao, the Imperial Bank in Wanping County and Daxing County had been officially open for three days at this time.

The two Imperial Banks were selected in the homes of the eunuchs who had been confiscated before, and the main body of the room had not changed much, only the security measures had been upgraded, Zhu Youxiao didn't want this matter to drag on for too long, he was afraid that it would change after a long time, so he hurriedly opened it first, and then arranged for Luo Sigong to choose another address in the capital to build a standardized Imperial Bank according to his requirements.

The Imperial Bank is different from the money banks of the past, and the main job now is to exchange silver dollars. For Zhu Youxiao, the implementation of the silver dollar is related to the implementation of many policies in the future. To put it simply, the success or failure of this monetary reform is directly related to the success of the New Deal, and many of Zhu Youxiao's New Policies are directly based on the new monetary system.

Zhu Youxiao decided to go out of the palace to see how the new currency was being implemented.

Zhu Youxiao's first stop out of the palace was the Imperial Bank. Although the Imperial Bank was planned by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was subject to the identity of the emperor and could not leave the palace often, and this was the first time he came to the Imperial Bank.

The Imperial Bank uses the official residence, which seems to be too informal to Zhu Youxiao, if it weren't for the four big words "Imperial Bank" hanging outside, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't dare to confirm that this is the Imperial Bank.

"The standardized bank in Wanping County must be built as soon as possible, and all imperial banks must be built according to that standard in the future." Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"No, it's just that the standardized Imperial Bank was established according to His Majesty's requirements, and it will take at least two and a half months to complete one. If the remaining time was to be completed with twelve standardized Imperial Banks, construction would have to begin at the same time. Luo Sigong replied.

"The last thing I need now is silver, and now there are a large number of displaced people near Jingshi, you can hire homeless people and build the rest of the Imperial Bank at the same time, which can not only alleviate the problem of some homeless people in Jingshi, but also shorten the construction period." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No, the minister will arrange this matter immediately." Luo Sigong replied.

After entering the Imperial Bank, Zhu Youxiao found another serious problem.

"Why are the promotional images of the new currency and the new currency exchange rules posted on the inside of the bank and not on the outside wall?" Zhu Youxiao asked dissatisfiedly.

"This ......" was questioned by a eunuch from the palace, who is now older and relatively stable in his work, so he was arranged by the palace to work in a bank, and is now the head of this bank. Zhu Youxiao's question, he didn't know how to organize the language for a while.

"What's the point? I'm in charge of you. When Zhu Youxiao saw him spitting and spitting, he knew that there might be something hidden in the matter.

"Master, the bank originally posted these on the door, but they were torn up at night, and in the past two days, the bank has been torn up once on the bank's side, and the bank has to paste these inside." The chief eunuch replied.

"What's going on? Commander Luo, doesn't Jinyiwei have someone to sit in the bank? Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Jinyiwei does sit in the hall by special people, but they all act at night. Moreover, the whole Beizhi posted about the new currency was torn up overnight, even around the city gate. Luo Sigong said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Minister...... Chen originally thought that this matter was ......," Luo Sigong stammered. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's face, he didn't know how to change the wording now.

"I tell you that the new coins and the Imperial Bank are as important as the success of my new policy, and they are as important as my new army, and there must be no mistakes. It seems that this matter is very strange, someone is deliberately blocking my new policy? Zhu Youxiao said.
