Listening to the words of these two brothers, Zhu Zhanji's heart was also happy.

Although he never thought of anything in return for his family doing these things, he was even ready to face some bad things.

treats his own family, he only asks for a clear conscience.

But now, listening to the words of these two brothers, Zhu Zhanji naturally has a surprise in his heart that exceeds expectations.

However, Zhu Zhanji did not continue to talk about this matter, but just tried his best to persuade the wine.

The other side.

Inside the farm yard outside Shanhaiguan.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon.

In ancient times, the importance of these festivals was not comparable to that of later generations.

Now in this farmyard, except for the old man Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, there is no one else.

The rest were some of the guards and the eunuchs of the East Factory.

Even the crown princess Zhang Yan, who had been with her before, had already returned to the palace.

But in this way, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the two people in this courtyard are really a little melancholy.

In the past, when I was in that palace, no matter what happened, during these festivals, I was surrounded by those royal family members and courtiers.

Although it is superficial a lot of the time, the feeling of this kind of longing is much shallow.

But now.

Only the two of them, father and son, were alone in this courtyard, and now they really felt this lonely feeling.

Especially this is still a father and son, two big men, and it is even more boring and tight on this festival.

If the crown princess Zhang Yan, that is, the current queen mother, is here, the atmosphere of this festival may be better.

But now, it's almost no different from normal days.

The old man Zhu Di said that he had picked up this matter from the beginning.

But that Zhu Gaochi was a little wronged.

Originally, he had a good life, even if the emperor didn't let him do it, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it, anyway, he would have had enough of being an emperor.

If you don't become an emperor, can't you live a good life in his prince's mansion?

But there is no way, the old man has a secret letter, and he has to fake his death.

Now that's good.

It was okay at first, it felt quite fresh.

I woke up in the morning until I went to bed in the evening, and nothing happened.

Idle tight.

But now enough days like this have passed, and I panic all day long.

When nothing happened, he woke up and ate, and fell asleep when it was dark.

The only fun is that Dongchang got some information from the capital and came over to listen to it.

The key is that there is still a large family in the capital.

Sons, wives and granddaughters are still in the capital.

Now I can't see it when I'm alive, and I don't know I'm dead when I'm dead.

It's like going to jail for a day like this.

Thinking that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help it this time, and when he found an opportunity, he asked the old man: "Dad, you said that it's not a matter for us to hide outside all the time, could it be that your son and I have been hiding outside for the rest of our lives?" ”

"Now that things are on track, I think we might as well go back honestly."

"If Zhu Zhanji's stinky boy dares to talk to you, my son, I will whip him for you, okay?"

Regarding what Zhu Gaochi said, Zhu Di didn't think about it.

Although what he, the emperor, did seems to be unkind.

But in fact, he thinks about his family no less than others.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, why don't he want to return to the palace in the capital, it doesn't matter if he cares about government affairs, he also wants to get together with his children and grandchildren.

Enjoy this family blessing.

I can't help it.

I can't put this face down.

If he could have put it down, he would have gone back a long time ago.

So after hearing his son Zhu Gaochi's words, the old man Zhu Di just excused himself by saying that the time was not ripe.

Wait for a good opportunity before going back.

In this regard, Zhu Gaochi was also full of helplessness.

Sometimes I think about it, no matter what the old man thinks about himself, he runs back to the capital by himself.

But when you think about it, it doesn't work either.

Although this old man is stubborn, this is his own father.

Where is there a son who left his father here and ran away.

After all, this old man did all these things for the sake of the country.

He, the son, can't make his father feel cold.

So now I can only continue to vomit with my dad here.

But it's not the same thing to stay in this courtyard all the time, so Zhu Gaochi, the second day of being a son, can only pull the old man Zhu Di and go towards the city.

The heart said that staying in that courtyard on this day is also staying, it is better to go to this city to feel the festive atmosphere, maybe this old man will really change his mind.

Under Zhu Gaochi's deadlift, the old man Zhu Di could only reluctantly follow him to the nearby city.

The atmosphere in this city really can't compare to their farmhouse.

Everywhere in this house is full of lights.

Even if you don't have money, you will hang a lantern at the door, not extravagant, but also lively.

Looking at the excitement in this city, although the old man Zhu Di was still complaining about what Zhu Gaochi was doing in this city, the joy on his face couldn't be stopped.

Even if the old man is old, he still likes this lively atmosphere.

Looking at the local snacks on both sides of the street, Zhu Gaochi now completely put down his prince's shelf, and he was like a child who didn't grow up, and pulled the old man Zhu Di to the hawker stall to eat something.

For this aspect of food, Zhu Gaochi is the most hobby on weekdays.

The old man Zhu Di, who had no choice, could only sit down with his own boss.

As for Huang Yan, who was following behind him, in order not to be so abrupt, he also called him over and sat aside.

Because this place is not far from the capital, many places are very similar to the city of Beijing.

Especially the noodle stall where they are now makes the authentic food mixed sauce noodles in the capital.

Under the preparation of the noodle stall owner, three bowls of hot and fragrant noodles with mixed sauce were served.

Although there is no shortage of food in the farmhouse these days, this taste is not adjusted.

After eating it for so many days, this taste is enough to eat.

Now that I suddenly tasted some of these pasta, several people had a great appetite.

Except for Huang Yan, who was still paying attention to the two around him while eating, so he didn't dare to let go of eating, the old man Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi didn't care about their current demeanor at all, and they ate deliciously.

Not only is the taste of this mixed sauce noodle quite authentic, but also because of today's environment, they don't need to care about anything anymore and let go of their belly to eat, so this feeling is naturally different.

After eating a large bowl of mixed sauce noodles, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were very satisfied.

After drinking another big bowl of hot noodle soup, he sat on the bench, waved his hand to Huang Yan beside him, and motioned for him to go to the checkout.

After watching the movements of these two, Huang Yan also got up with interest, hurriedly came to the owner of the noodle stall, and then took out a few copper coins from his arms and slapped them on the table of the noodle stall owner.

But after seeing the silver that Huang Yan took out, the owner of the noodle stall hurriedly stopped Huang Yan, who was about to turn around and leave, and said, "This guest officer, this silver is not right." ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Huang Yan was stunned at first, but he didn't think much about doing anything, after all, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were by his side now.

So I hurriedly took out a few more copper plates and handed them to the owner of the noodle stall.

This time, with the copper plate given before, it is enough to pay for these three bowls of mixed sauce noodles.

However, after seeing Huang Yan's movements, the noodle stall owner hurriedly grabbed Huang Yan and said, "Guest officer, your money is wrong." ”

Seeing that the owner of this noodle stall was so dissatisfied, and a dozen copper plates were not enough, Huang Yan couldn't help frowning, and said, "Your boss is not greedy, aren't these dozen copper plates enough for three bowls of noodles?" ”

Hearing this, the boss was also an honest man, and he immediately became anxious and said, "This is not enough!" ”

"Hey!"

Just as Huang Yan, who was the supervisor of the East Factory, was about to say something, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, who were sitting on the bench on the side, also came over.

Zhu Di first glanced at Na Huang Yan and blamed him for his ineffective handling of such a trivial matter.

Then he looked at the noodle stall owner and said, "Shopkeeper, how much silver do you need for these three bowls of noodles?" ”

Hearing the gentle speech in front of him, the noodle stall owner's anger also came down, and then he took the sign with the price on the side and said: "A bowl of noodles is five cents, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”

Seeing the sign that the boss brought over, as well as what he had just said, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi beside him were stunned.

"Five cents? How much silver is that? ”

Seeing that the two people in front of him didn't even know this, the owner of the noodle stall woke up and stewed.

He said to the three: "Three guest officers, you should be the ones who have just entered the city, right?" ”

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and Huang Yan, who heard this, were stunned for a moment, but they did not lie, but admitted it calmly.

Seeing this, the owner of the noodle stall finally understood something, and then said: "A few people may not know that the money spent in this city is no longer silver. ”

"Not silver?"

As soon as the owner of this noodle stall said such a sentence, the old man Zhu Di couldn't help but ask.

The owner of the noodle stall was also sincere, and even nodded, and then said with a smile: "Yes, the silver and copper plates that used to be made in this city are no longer used." ”

"Although there are still some people who use copper plates and silver to spend, the price is no longer right."

"According to the exchange rate given by the yamen and the money bank, the current copper plate and the Xuande coin issued by the imperial court are at an exchange rate of one to five. Now five copper plates can be exchanged for a dime of Xuande coins. ”

Listening to the words of the noodle stall owner, Zhu Di and Huang Yan on the side reacted.

No wonder this shopkeeper said that the money for these dozen copper plates is wrong.

If this is according to such an exchange method, these dozen copper plates are the price of two or three copper plates in the past.

It's certainly not enough to look at it that way.

If it was just an ordinary person, after hearing the words of this noodle stall owner, he would naturally understand.

Either give more copper plates, or pay Xuande coins directly.

However, Zhu Di is obviously not an ordinary person.

He must have thought more than the stall owner.

For example, the so-called exchange rate in the money bank and the yamen.

One to five.

The five copper plates in the past can only be spent as one copper plate now, can the people be willing?

Isn't this just a shrunk of one's own wealth?

Not to mention that it is impossible for the people to be willing, if this is done, it is good that the people of the world do not rebel.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but look at the owner of the noodle stall and asked, "Shopkeeper, we have indeed just entered the city, and we don't know how many of these are, and I will make up for the money that came out." However, there is one thing I still don't understand. ”

"If we continue like this, won't it mean that all these coins in our hands are five times less?"

"If the court does this, will no one object?"

Listening to Zhu Di's question, the shopkeeper just smiled and said: "Guest officer, you don't know, the imperial court has a clear rule that all copper coins and gold and silver in this dynasty can be exchanged directly at the money bank or yamen, and the imperial court has also given everyone a decree before, and those who exchange silver coins for Xuande coins within three months can be exchanged according to their original value." ”

"The reason why the exchange rate is now 1:5 is because it has been several months since the time required by the imperial court."

"But don't worry, guest officer, whether it is those copper plates or silver in your home, as long as they are old and not newly minted, you can go directly to the yamen to show the household registration of the local government and the certificate of the yamen, and you can also exchange it at a 1:1 exchange rate."

"But it has to be people in remote villages, not in cities."

Listening to the words of the noodle stall owner, although Zhu Di still has a lot of things he doesn't understand about these decrees of the imperial court, he also probably heard some signs.

According to the shopkeeper's words, it is clear that the imperial court has taken into account a lot of things and has decrees that respond to each situation.

As long as you do things according to the decrees of the imperial court, there will not be much shortfall.

On the contrary, blindly resisting the imperial decree will naturally cause losses that no one cares about.

However, Zhu Di understood it, but the curiosity in his heart was even stronger.

When such a decree was introduced in the imperial court, he Zhu Di also knew about it.

The spies of the East Factory have news of these things.

At the beginning, he didn't take it seriously, and he introduced new coins, which has happened in all dynasties, so he just regarded it as an ordinary thing.

I don't think that Zhu Zhanji's kid can change the difficulties faced by all dynasties.

I don't think Xuande coins will be supported by the common people.

But from the matter of the noodle stall owner today, he suddenly found that the people of the city did not seem to have any objection to such a decree.

On the contrary, the words are quite supportive.

This made him not understand.

The people of all dynasties relied on and valued silver and gold, but when they came to Zhu Zhanji's kid, it changed?

The people have changed their minds?

Obviously, this is impossible, so Zhu Di immediately asked the curiosity in his heart.
