Early the next morning, Liu Chengfeng dressed up and entered the palace to thank him.

When they arrived at the noon gate, it happened that the morning dynasty had just dispersed, and many officials came out of the noon gate, with solemn faces on their faces, presumably because of Jingcha, most of them were sad and sad, and they looked like they were crying and mourning.

Liu Chengfeng smiled in his heart, although the Ming Dynasty suppressed the military with literature, but the military attache also had the benefits of a military attaché, at least he didn't have to deal with Jingcha like these civil officials. And obviously, this time the emperor is playing the real thing, definitely not going through the motions like before, and I don't know how many people will be unlucky.

When these officials passed by Liu Chengfeng, there were also many people who looked at him, many people had heard of Liu Chengfeng's name for a long time, but they had never had the opportunity to see him, at this time they found that Liu Chengfeng was so young, under the light of the early morning, his face was a little immature and free, and many people who saw it couldn't help but be speechless, it turned out that he was Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng was actually like this.

Maybe because of the big trouble a few days ago, many people couldn't help but glance at Liu Chengfeng, and many people had a trace of admiration in their eyes.

Look at the people, how old is this, there is already a knighthood, and then think about the son of his own unsuccessful, such a comparison, I have to shake my head, I can't wait to rush home immediately, and beat my own loser up and beat him hard before he rests.

Liu Chengfeng ignored them, went straight through the Wumen Gate Hole, crossed the Jinshui Bridge all the way, bypassed the main hall, and under the guidance of the little eunuch, went straight to the Zhengxin Palace.

Zhu Youzhang's mood seems to be much better today, no matter what, the boiling controversy finally calmed down, and a Jingcha immediately blocked everyone's mouths, although the entire court was full of uneasy atmosphere, but Zhu Youzhu seemed to have a lot less trouble.

Liu Chengfeng went in and thanked him, and Zhu Youzhu said with a smile: "Get up and talk, it's about to come to the end of the year, what, how are you going to spend this year?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "The New Year is not a good thing. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhu looked at him and said with a smile: "Why is this?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said with a bitter face: "Weichen is one year older. ”

Zhu Youzhu was originally going to pick up the tea cup and blow the tea foam, but after listening to Liu Chengfeng's words, he almost missed his hand, and was scalded by this hot tea.

It's a terrible sight......

Zhu Youzhu pursed his lips, but he was not surprised, and said with a slight smile: "How is Jubaolou now?" ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, business has improved again." ”

Zhu Youzhu bowed his head and said: "Well, this treasure building, you have to keep an eye on me, this has something to do with the society, but there are some things, whether it is me or too much, it is not easy to come forward, so this treasure building will ask you." ”

Say please, it's really polite, it's not that Zhu Youzhu is polite, it's just that after all, he accounts for sixty percent of the shares, and he feels a little guilty.

Zhu Houzhao may not be able to see the benefits of this treasure building, but Zhu Youzhu knows that whoever controls the treasure building, the wealth of the world will not need any violent means, and it will enter someone's pocket like flowing water.

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhu Youzhu attached so much importance to Jubaolou, so he said: "Your Majesty, the business of Jubaolou will only get better and better after this turmoil, it is better to strike while the iron is hot and add some trivial services." ”

Zhu Youzhu in his heart, Liu Chengfeng's means of collecting wealth can be said to be admired to the extreme, obviously this Ming Dynasty for decades countless cabinet ministers boiled their hair gray hair may not be able to solve the problem, fell into the hands of Liu Chengfeng but it is easy to solve, although he is the emperor, but also knows the importance of money, the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this is just an empty word, no money is no pay, there is no mutiny, no money can not be relieved, there will be displaced people if there is no disaster relief, the people will fall into the grass, the more diligent emperors like him, The understanding of money has become more and more profound, and the world of the Ming Dynasty is piled up with money.

It's just that this money is not easy to come by, the annual income is only so much, not enough, so you can only let the eunuchs of the town guard collect it outside, just for this, it has caused a lot of public resentment, but Zhu Youzhu knows in his heart that the eunuchs can't be withdrawn, because there is no money, the imperial court has such a small income, it is not enough to pay the civil and military officials of the imperial court, and it is not enough to pay the border army. Although the emperor is the greatest, the emperor's edict cannot be exchanged for money.

But Liu Chengfeng is different, Liu Chengfeng is a cash cow, or a loyal cash cow, now Uncle Liu wants to talk about business with the emperor, can the emperor refuse?

Zhu Youzhu not only did not exclude, but also seemed to be full of interest, what a gentleman does not love money, it is just nonsense, only when he is really in charge, he knows the benefits of wealth.

"Liu Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Liu Chengfeng was also happy, only mentioned two things, the first is to expand this treasure building, after all, although the Beijing division is the center of the world's wealth, businessmen such as clouds, but Jiangnan, Sichuan, Lingnan, Luoyang and even outside the Guan, there is still a lot of room for expansion, the treasure building of the Beijing division, into the world's treasure building, the merchants who are doing goods are all in one net, no matter who it is in the future, as long as it is to do business, there is no way to avoid the treasure building.

Zhu Youzhu naturally agreed.

It's just the second one, but it makes Zhu Youzhu a little puzzled.

Banks...... Banknote?

Zhu Youzhu bit his lip and said, "Qian Zhuang I know, Jiaozi and Yin Yuan also know, but what's the difference between your silver banknotes?" ”

In fact, silver tickets and the like, as early as the Song Dynasty has appeared, but soon after the appearance, because of the indiscriminate issuance, and finally collapsed, to the Ming Dynasty, the same, this silver ticket still exists, and even some officials also use silver tickets to replace, but the silver ticket of this thousand taels to the market may not even be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and the degree of depreciation is extremely fast, so that whoever sees this silver ticket, is pinching his nose and walking, to put it bluntly, there is still no credit.

And Liu Chengfeng's idea is very simple, Jubao Qian Zhuang also issued silver tickets, but this silver ticket is a little different, how much silver is in the money bank, how many face value of silver tickets will be issued, never indiscriminately, nor indiscriminately printed, to put it bluntly, in fact, it is the silver standard.

For example, a businessman in Hangzhou, who wants to enter Beijing, takes 1,000 taels of silver to exchange a silver note in a money village in Hangzhou, and after arriving in the capital, he uses this silver banknote to exchange for an equal amount of silver, and the credit is guaranteed by Jubaolou, that is, as long as Jubaolou is still there, this silver banknote will definitely be exchanged for silver.

The reason why Liu Chengfeng discussed this matter with Zhu Youzhu was actually helpless, there were a lot of silver tickets circulating in the official face, but the credit was extremely low, and the income of Jubaolou in the future would be at least millions of taels of silver, that is, tens of millions, and it was not impossible. If the palace wants to play the idea of printing silver tickets, you also have to think about this treasure building, after all, most of the silver money in the treasure building will flow into the palace, and the credit of the treasure building will be lost, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhu Youzhu was silent for a moment and said: "The matter of printing money is feasible, but how does this money bank make money?" ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, if there is cash in the bank, you can use it for loans, and the merchants want to store the silver in the bank, and you can also draw a thousand and one percent, don't look at the one thousand and one percent, but it is also beneficial to accumulate a lot." In addition, with this money, the transaction of the treasure house will increase greatly, in fact, the treasure house and the money village are complementary to each other, with the money village, the treasure house business is good, the better the treasure house business, the more credit of the money bank. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded his head and said, "You can do this matter, I will give accommodation, as long as you can earn money, I will not be able to do your benefits." ”

Liu Chengfeng responded.

Zhu Youzhu immediately laughed and said, "Patronizing and talking to you about the smell of copper, it seems that you and I teachers and students are too philistine, have you been a lot rusty in recent days?" Well, I won't ask you about your homework before the year, and I'll wait until the year after the year. ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "I've been really busy these days, and Wechen has been looking for a house these days, but I'm afraid I don't have time to practice reading." ”

"Looking for a house? How? Don't even have a house? Zhu Youzhu was slightly stunned.

Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly, and said that he wanted to take advantage of the approaching New Year, buy a house, ask the craftsman to repair it, and move over after the New Year.

Zhu Youzhu couldn't help laughing and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I took care of this matter, is it a house?" I remember that on the side of Dong'anmen, there was a vacant house that had been unoccupied, and there were ...... people coming."

A eunuch said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Isn't that so? ”

The eunuch said: "There is such a thing, that house was originally the mansion of the Marquis of Yongchang, this Marquis of Yongchang was convicted in the eighteenth year of Chenghua, and the house was wiped out, and the house was vacant, and it has been uninhabited, in fact, that place is not bad, and the mansion of the Marquis of Shouning is not far away, that is...... It is...... It's a little barren. ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly and said, "This house, let's give it to Liu Chengfeng to live in, Liu Chengfeng, how about it?" ”

Liu Chengfeng had a smile on his face, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, it has been more than 20 years since the eighteenth year of Chenghua, and it is also the land of the Hou Ye who was raided and exterminated, this house is a bit taboo.

But then again, Zhu Youzhu wanted to be rewarded, and Liu Chengfeng couldn't refuse, so he could only respond, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness, Weichen will keep it in mind." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled, very satisfied with Liu Chengfeng's attitude, and said, "Since I want to give you a house, I will send the Buddha to the west." He instructed the eunuch: "Tell me to go down and ask the Ministry of Works to find some craftsmen to repair the house. Use them together, don't skimp. ”

The eunuch said yes.

Liu Chengfeng was smiling bitterly in his heart, it seems that even if he can't think about this house in the future, he will not be able to do it, he originally thought that the feng shui of that place is probably not good, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to accept it first, and choose a good house, but seeing Zhu Youzhu so concerned, if he doesn't move over, let the palace know when the time comes, and I don't know how much fire it will be, so let's just live.

Zhu Youzhang asked Liu Chengfeng to sit down, and chatted for a while, and chatted for half an hour, Zhu Youzhang was a little distracted, Liu Chengfeng understood his temperament, this time should be the time for Zhu Youzhang to review the book, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is time for Weichen to say goodbye, and I will enter the palace to talk to Your Majesty in the future." ”

Zhu Youzhu deliberately kept it, Liu Chengfeng insisted on leaving, and finally let Liu Chengfeng out of the palace.

Coming out of the palace, Liu Chengfeng deliberately went to the house of the Marquis of Yongchang to turn around, the location of this house is good, it is only a tea road from Dong'anmen, and it is the Shouning Marquis Mansion that turns a street, and many of the princes' mansions in Beijing are also located here, there are fewer pedestrians, it is better to be quiet, all the way over, along the way in the courtyard wall of the Gaomen mansion, there are always some trees that can be poked out, but I am afraid that if it comes to the spring of the next year, it must be shaded by trees.

This house is not small, it is bigger than the house of Shou Ninghou, I asked someone to inquire, there are more than 70 houses in total, and in terms of scale alone, it is definitely a rare mansion in Beijing. It's just that because no one has lived in it for a long time, a seal has been pasted at the door, and the seal has long been pasted, and you can vaguely see words like Chenghua Nian Yinyue, and the houses inside are even more rotten. But thinking that there would be a Ministry of Engineering to repair this matter anyway, Liu Chengfeng simply relaxed his heart and rode home to report the good news.
