Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 130: Hu Hu's resignation
After sending Zhang Yan away, Dong Taiqi looked at the blood and water in a daze, Zhang Yan wanted to ask King Yu to recorrect the test paper for him through himself, but he was late and was rejected from the examination room, but there was no chance to turn around anyway.
"Hey! Regardless of whether there is really a problem with Changfeng's answer sheet, after all, there is something to misunderstand, the cold window has been cold for decades, how can you be willing to plant here, without Enke, there are three years in three years, and there can be several three years in life? Take this as a warning! ”
Zhang Yan's experience also gave Dong Taiqi a wake-up call, which made him suddenly wake up in his heart.
Then the copper basin was cleaned and went back to class, coincidentally, Zhu Qiyu didn't come all day today, Dong Taiqi was anxious, but he could only wait for the prince's 'luck'.
Zhu Qiyu had just been summoned to the palace by Zhu Qizhen at this time, and the two brothers gathered around a copper pot and feasted while the steaming heat was steaming, and this year's winter was extremely cold.
Zhu Qizhen sandwiched a slice of cut translucent mutton, soaked it twice in the pot and scooped it up, rolled it in the dipping sauce in front of him, and sent it into his mouth while the mutton was still steaming, his teeth were slightly wrong, and the mutton instantly melted in his mouth.
"Woohoo, ah! What kind of mutton is this tribute from Shaanxi Xingdusi? The meat is tender and almost no smell, good! Zhu Qizhen praised.
"Your Majesty, listen to what Shang Shan said, this is the local specialty Tan mutton, not only the meat is delicious, the skin is also a good material, and the fur made is light and warm and firm, but it is a treasure of Shaanxi Xingdu!" Kim Young explained.
Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened, he had long heard of the delicious name of Tan Sheep, he had no money and couldn't eat it once in his previous life, and he really deserved his reputation when he tasted it today!
"Eat, Qi Yu, the plate of mutton in front of you hasn't moved much!" Zhu Qizhen said as he poured the entire plate of mutton in front of him directly into the pot, and suddenly a rich aroma of meat gushed out with the hot soup.
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly nodded when he heard this: "Brother Emperor Xie, your secret sauce is really good, the younger brother has to savor the wonderful meaning, you eat it first and don't worry about me." ”
"Haha, you have to eat this kind of meat to feel it, let me teach you how to eat it!" Zhu Qizhen said, and fished out the mutton in the pot three times and divided it by two, and Zhu Qiyu's plate was instantly filled with mutton.
"Thank you, Brother Xie Huang!" Zhu Qiyu looked at the whole plate of mutton in front of him, so he had to follow Zhu Qizhen's example, and after dipping the dipping sauce in one go, he pulled it all into his mouth and chewed it in a big gulp.
"How's that, isn't it something special?" Zhu Qizhen's mouth was also in his mouth
Lamb filled, slurred speech.
There is not much difference between Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Qizhen, his mouth is bulging, and he can only seem to be very satisfied with Zhu Qizhen's recommendation.
"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu is here." Jin Ying said.
Although Zhu Qizhen doesn't like Hu Hu, after all, now he is in charge of the money bag of the household department, and he can't get around him no matter what he does.
Not to mention the expansion of the establishment of the household commercial bank, or even the opening of the border trade market, just one banknote law is not enough, it is enough for Zhu Qizhen to have a headache, and today Hu Hu came over specifically to discuss the issue of the banknote law.
"Let him in." Zhu Qizhen said lightly.
"Minister Hu Hu respectfully invites the emperor to be saintly!" Hu Hui said politely.
"Didn't you eat it? Sit down, I've called you here to ask what you think of the money law. Zhu Qizhen pointed to the stool and said.
Hu Hui's eyes swept away: There are three stools on a table, presumably the emperor has already planned.
Hu Hu, who is already in his prime, naturally does not have so many taboos, listening to Zhu Qizhen's greeting, he sat next to Zhu Qiyu unceremoniously, and when he nodded with Zhu Qiyu, he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
"Thank the emperor for the banquet!"
"Hu Shangshu, this dipping sauce is the original creation of the imperial brother, you want to go next time after tasting it!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
"Sure enough, as His Royal Highness said, the lips and teeth are fragrant!" Hu Hui praised.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Qizhen interrupted the business touting of the two.
Hu Hu pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the pre-Song Dynasty Yuan banknote method is so popular, because banknotes can be freely exchanged with silver money. But except for Xia Yuanji's rectification of the banknote law, our dynasty has always been free to print and distribute, and the people cannot be freely converted, which is the reason for the decline of the banknote law. ”
In fact, Hu Hu said this to give the royal face, not to mention that it cannot be freely exchanged, but the government can exchange silver tickets for copper coins or even silver, but ordinary people can't exchange silver tickets for copper coins.
Coupled with the indiscriminate issuance of currency by the imperial court, the natural credit value is getting lower and lower, until now, although it cannot be compared with the Zimbabwean currency in the future, it is not uncommon for the value to shrink by eight or nine tenths.
The last time I went to the Teaching Division, I didn't see that the merchant was an official.
I can't get any money, and I usually only use it for cash.
"I know, I don't need to say why, I want to ask you what you think." Zhu Qizhen took another piece of mutton with chopsticks.
"Your Majesty, the banknote law of this dynasty was originally taken from the law of the Shang monarch, a sharp weapon to reduce people's wealth, but now it has indeed reached the point where it cannot be changed.
It's just that the minister has been presiding over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and there is really no good way to do this. Hu Hu sat respectfully on the stool, seemingly not wanting to get involved in this matter.
Also, who can still use money now? Those are all public officials, and reforming the money law is bound to offend them.
Zhu Qizhen could also see Hu Hui's thoughts, so he said: "If you use the national copper coins as the basis to issue new banknotes, do you think it is feasible?" ”
2k
Hu Hu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the symptoms will not cure the root cause, the banknotes have been flooded before, and now the new banknotes are issued, I am afraid that they will not be able to win the trust of the people." ”
"Then what if the household department sets up a money bank, and the money bank issues money?" Zhu Qizhen borrowed the ticket number of the Qing Dynasty.
Hu Hui still shook his head and said: "The trust of the imperial court cannot reassure the people, and a single trading house may be even more difficult to win the trust of the people." ”
Zhu Qizhen snapped and put the chopsticks still on the table, and the dipping sauce flowed on the table.
Zhu Qiyu and Jin Ying knelt down at the same time, Hu Hu was older, and he was half a beat older than the two of them.
"The mutual market is not good, the commercial bank is slow, and now the reform of the banknote law is also concerned left and right, Hu Hui, I let you manage the household department for the Ming Dynasty, not to listen to you say no!" Zhu Qizhen said angrily.
Hu Hu knelt on the ground and put his head on his chest, sighed and said: "The minister is old, and he is no longer able to do anything about the ministry, please ask the emperor to see the minister is old, and allow the minister to return to his hometown." ”
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath and said in a cold tone: "Do you think I am a kind-hearted emperor? Since you are not good at managing money, then you should go to the criminal department and transfer Jin Lian to the household department.
Alas, Lao Shangshu, you have won the trust of Taizong, I just want to inherit the will of the clan and promote my great power in the sea, you and I are the monarch and the minister, and naturally we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"Emperor Xie will not give up, but the minister is indeed old and frail, I am afraid that he cannot take on this heavy responsibility." Hu Hu's body trembled slightly, and his head lowered.
"Lao Shangshu should be strong and don't be humble anymore, Jin Ying, send Lao Shangshu back. Another order was given to the cabinet, and Jin Lian was immediately ordered to take charge of the household department, and Hu Hui was transferred to the criminal department. ”
