Zhu Youcheng left the palace and began to give gifts everywhere. Yesterday, I arranged food and lodging for 5,000 people, and discussed with He Zihong about sending the martyr's name plate to the Daming Warrior Temple the next day, and I didn't have time to go home, so the prepared gifts were not sent.

Tiger skins, tiger whips, tiger jerky, and tiger bone wine were all given away except for a little for themselves. Of course, not everyone has a share, Zhu Youcheng has not been generous to that kind of Cheng dù, and the people who receive gifts are people who usually have a good relationship with him. When they received the gifts, they were all very grateful, and they would never have imagined that when Jiannu was under heavy pressure, Zhu Youcheng still had the heart to prepare gifts for them.

Wei Honglian was different, she didn't even glance at the gift, she just looked at Zhu Youcheng quietly. found that he had lost a lot of weight, and Wei Honglian's eyes turned red. She hugged Zhu Youcheng and ordered: "Don't go anywhere, obediently drink a bowl of soup."

I haven't seen him for half a year, Xu Guozhong has grown up a lot, he used to be faltering, but now he can run. Zhu Youcheng suddenly remembered that he had prepared a gift for Princess Huaining, but he forgot his brother's share. There is still one ferret, but it is Ke Qingqing's beloved thing, and he can't give it away. He reached into his arms and touched it for a long time, but he didn't touch anything. I had to borrow a piece of red paper and wrap two gold coins as my brother's New Year's money.

Wei Honglian didn't refuse, but turned around and wrapped a red envelope to Zhu Youcheng and said: "You haven't married yet, you can be regarded as a child, and your mother also has New Year's money for you."

Zhu Youcheng checked the red envelope, which was twice as thick as his own, and it is estimated that he returned it to himself twice. He is not short of money, but when he saw the red envelope given by his mother, his heart warmed, and he did not refuse.

The last stop for gift-giving is Wei Zhongxian's mansion in Iron Lion Hutong.

Wei Zhongxian has returned, and he is waiting for Zhu Youcheng to enter the palace together. Looking at the burden brought by Zhu Youcheng, Wei Zhongxian's face changed at that time. Asked, "Is there a tiger whip?" If there is, don't open the baggage, just throw it out to me as it is."

Seemingly. Wei Zhongxian was almost nervous by the tiger whip.

Zhu Youcheng smiled: "Grandpa still doesn't believe in me, an honest and reliable little Langjun?"

He opened the baggage and pulled out a tiger skin. Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up, the tiger skin is good, the king of beasts, he uses tiger skin to make clothes and wears it on his body...... It's like a play, let's spread it on a chair.

Zhu Youcheng is really not a good thing, as soon as a few gifts come out, the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty have become bandit leaders. By the way. The final fate of the five tiger skins is to become a chair cushion, and no one uses that thing to make a fur fur, after all, Sun Wukong's tiger skin skirt has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one wants to be Sun Monkey's second.

Wei Zhongxian stood up and reached into the baggage to touch it, he was still afraid that Zhu Youcheng would carry a tiger whip inside.

He touched a round and smooth stick-like thing, his face changed, and he said angrily: "You still came with a tiger whip!"

Zhu Youcheng was stunned, the burden was wrapped by him personally, and he remembered that he didn't put the tiger whip in. Again. The tiger whip is a valuable medicinal material, and he gave two to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and kept one for himself. Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi have each issued one of their two favorite generals, and they have been distributed, so how can there be extra tiger whips.

He suddenly understood that eighty percent of what Wei Zhongxian touched was paradise wine.

Zhu Youcheng, a profiteer, found that Paradise Wine was becoming a must-have in the stable, so he changed the bottle of Paradise Wine and stretched the mouth of the bottle downwards to become a slender cylinder. The upper end becomes smaller and the capacity naturally decreases. What used to be one bottle can now be divided into two bottles. But there's only one wine in the park. There is no semicolon. The people of the Ming Dynasty had no choice but to scold the profiteers while digging out a lot of silver. Wei Zhongxian grabbed the bottle of Paradise Wine. Misunderstanding. However, the paradise wine is made of glass, and the tiger whip is fundamentally different from the tiger's whip, which can also be misunderstood, it seems that this morning's incident has not hit Wei Gonggong ordinarily big.

"It's definitely not that, grandpa will know when he takes it out."

Wei Zhongxian snorted heavily, took it out and put it on the table heavily, and couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that he had misunderstood. His old face turned red, but he refused to admit his mistake, and said, "Paradise wine? It's not a good thing."

"Grandpa, take a closer look."

Wei Zhongxian took a closer look, saw that there was a white bone in the bottle, and said strangely: "Cheng'er, what is this?"

"Tiger bones. This is not an ordinary paradise wine, but a paradise tiger bone wine, which has a miraculous effect on the waist and knees, and bone soreness.

"Tiger bone wine?" Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Cheng'er is so filial, I know that whenever the weather changes, my grandfather is tormented by bone pain. With this wine, I'm no longer afraid of the weather."

"Paradise wine is good, but you can't be greedy, two or two a day is enough. Grandpa, Cheng'er has something to ask for."

"Well said, well said. Even if you want the moon, your grandfather will take it off for you." got good wine, Wei Zhongxian was old and happy, and he took care of Zhu Youcheng's requirements.

"It's not that excessive, it's Li Yongzhen and Tu Wenfu's two fathers-in-law. In Dengzhou, it was Cheng'er who couldn't stand them, and for the sake of the people of Juehua Island, I lied to them. As a result, my grandfather was worried and severely punished the two of them. Now that I'm back safe and sound, my grandfather might as well let them go."

Wei Zhongxian agreed, and immediately wrote down an order to reinstate Li Yongzhen and Tu Wen.

"Besides, one thing." Zhu Youcheng put another burden on the table and said, "Grandpa, Cheng'er is a minister, and it is not easy to enter the inner palace. There is also a package of gifts here, which contains a tiger skin and several bottles of tiger bone wine, which is a gift for the Empress Dowager. When Cheng'er first entered the stable, she was supported by the Queen Mother, but now she is rich and noble, and she dare not forget it, so please ask my grandfather to help me give it to her."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes were scorching, he looked at Zhu Youcheng, and admired in his heart, Cheng'er is really a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Zheng Guifei back then. [,！ It's just to help him say a few good words in front of Emperor Wanli, Zhu Youcheng took it to heart, and looked for an opportunity to repay her the title of the empress dowager, it can be said that he has achieved "the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates". You must know that although Empress Dowager Zheng is the empress dowager, she has not helped him at all in politics. Zhu Youcheng will not only be grateful, but also hold grudges, and none of those who provoked him will end well. The grievances are clearly the eldest husband, the Wei family...... Hi, it's a pity that the emperor accepted him as a younger brother. The revitalization of the Wei family still depends on his son.

"Okay, Cheng'er is so filial, it's also a good story to spread it. I'll enter the palace later. I'll personally go to Cining Palace and deliver your gifts." Wei Zhongxian suddenly remembered something. took out a red envelope and handed it to Zhu Youcheng, and said, "Our Wei family, as long as you are not married, you are all children, and this red envelope is yours. It was supposed to be given for the New Year, but you weren't at home, so I kept it in my arms, and now I've finally sent it out."

Zhu Youcheng's hand sank. It seems that there are a lot of good things in it. Suddenly, he remembered the incident of buying baked cakes in front of Shanhaiguan, so he said with a smile: "Grandpa, Cheng'er is a poor man now, and he still has an IOU when he buys things in Shanhaiguan."

Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Crying poor in front of me, who are you fooling, who doesn't know that the richest man in the stable is you and King Xin. In your store, there are good things coming out every three or five days, and there are long queues of people buying things. That line, tsk, can be lined up from North Zhili to South Zhili."

"Really. I don't lie to you."

Zhu Youcheng told Wei Zhongxian about the scene in front of Shanhaiguan.

Wei Zhongxian heard the forgetful look of the old man who sold baked cakes when he received the IOU, and said with a smile: "People say that Zhu Youcheng is extremely shrewd, and this time he has suffered a big loss. Your handwriting is sold in the stable calligraphy and painting shop, and a one-foot-square piece is worth ten silver coins. That IOU is worth at least five or six taels. I don't believe it, if you take the money to redeem the IOU, the old man will definitely not pay you back."

Zhu Youcheng suddenly realized. No wonder he received the IOU, the old man was so happy that he didn't even want the baked cake stand.

After listening to the story. Wei Zhongxian was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Cheng'er usually cherishes time like gold. It's not a joke to make me happy."

"That's nature. From this incident, I thought of a huge loophole in the bank deposits, which is that the denomination of banknotes and coins is too large. We live a rich life, and we usually use a lot of silver, but the people live in poverty, and we use a lot of copper plates. And now our banks only issue money in three denominations, one dollar, one yuan, and one gold. One gold is equal to ten yuan, and one yuan is equal to a thousand yuan. From the circle to the text, the span is too large, and it is difficult for the people to find redemption. So I built yì in the middle of the additional issuance of auxiliary coins, such as jiao, fen. A circle is equal to ten corners, a corner is equal to ten points, and one cent is equal to ten cents. Not only that, but we can also issue money in denominations of one, two, five, one, two, and five, so that it is very convenient to find redemption in any denomination."

Wei Zhongxian exclaimed: "Okay, Cheng'er's idea is too good. I also came from poverty, and the most difficult time was 20 yuan a month. The denomination of money is too large, and it is indeed a bit troublesome for ordinary people. But what to make money with? What is a metal worth between copper and silver?"

"Who stipulated that money must be equal to the price of metal? Daming's money and credit come from the country of Daming. As long as money is minted, even if it is with the cheapest iron, we say it is a cent, it is a cent, say it is a circle, it is a circle. Banks are going to be open to exchange, and they will take one penny if they are willing to take one penny, and they will take ten copper plates if they are willing to take ten copper plates. After a long time, they will naturally be willing to use more convenient large coins. Grandpa, it turns out that those rich businessmen don't like to use bank-issued banknotes, and would rather run around with a bag of money on their backs. But now, I often see people using paper money. Therefore, as long as the banks do not issue money indiscriminately, the people are still willing to accept more convenient large coins."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed, took Zhu Youcheng's hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go into the palace together. I'm not going to plunder the beauty of people, let you say."

Wei Zhongxian knew that Zhu Youcheng's idea was good, which was to facilitate the lives of the people and increase the income of the treasury. However, he is already at the head of the inner court, and the emperor loves him very much, even if he puts forward a good idea, it is just icing on the cake. And Zhu Youcheng is different, he is now a great soldier, and he has a heavy army, so it is inevitable that people will be suspicious. Although the emperor favors him, but the three of them become tigers, if people keep slandering him, the emperor will inevitably be shaken. Letting Zhu Youcheng say this idea can increase Zhu Youcheng's weight in the mind of the Emperor of the Apocalypse. (To be continued)
