Chapter 189: The East Factory is banned.
"The courts of all dynasties have minted coins, as well as the Ming treasure banknotes of Taizu, but later, these treasure banknotes have become worthless, and now the court is not doing this like robbing money?"
At this time, Zhu Di stood on the position of the people and asked deliberately.
For Zhu Di's words, the store not only felt surprised, but also understood his feelings very well.
said with a smile: "In the past, those coins were indeed worthless later, but this time the imperial court made a good order, saying that Xuande coins can be exchanged for gold and silver at any time in the yamen and money houses." As for the specific quantity, it is said that it is determined according to the number of Xuande coins that come to exchange, and I don't understand those old men who speak officially, but I heard from Xiucai in the village that the imperial court gave a guarantee, saying that as long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, this Xuande coins can be exchanged for gold and silver at any time. ”
"How much can be exchanged depends on how many people go to exchange Xuande coins, and if there are fewer people to exchange, then there will be more gold and silver that can be exchanged for Xuande coins. There are more people exchanging, and there are fewer gold and silver that can be exchanged for this Xuande coin. ”
"He also said that according to the current method of the imperial court, let us rest assured that we will exchange it, and there will be no mistakes."
"I pondered it for a while, old man, not to mention that other people's talents are more sensible than me. If according to the method of the imperial court, if there are fewer people exchanging and no one uses such coins, then it is just right, according to the method of the imperial court, not only can the original value of gold and silver be exchanged, but maybe it can be exchanged for more, and more money can be made in vain. ”
"If there are more people who exchange it, although there is less gold and silver that can be exchanged, there is no difference if you think about it, where do we ordinary people really expect to make money, as long as we don't lose money according to the law of the imperial court."
"When the time comes, there will be more people exchanging, and everyone is really using this new money according to the method of the imperial court, so it will have no impact on us."
The shopkeeper of this noodle stall was very interested in talking about it, and he didn't have much business now, so he talked a little more to the three people in front of him.
And after Zhu Di heard the explanation of the noodle stall shopkeeper, he completely understood how Zhu Zhanji's kid gained the trust of the people.
It's just that for this method implemented by the imperial court now, because it is also the first time to come into contact with it, it suddenly sounds quite round.
Fortunately, with the explanation of the store, I figured out what these methods represented.
If you think about it carefully, if you are a common person, if the imperial court can really implement this method, it would be really good.
In general, no matter what happens in the end, it is not a loss for the people.
There are more people who use it, so there is no need to worry about those Xuande coins that no one wants, and they will not be like the former Daming treasure banknotes that cannot be spent, or the value will decrease very quickly.
On the contrary, if there are fewer people exchanging, these treasure notes can be exchanged for much more gold and silver.
It's just that he understands the reason, but he still has doubts in his heart: "Can this Xuande coin be spent in this city now?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled, and then pointed to the price sign of his noodle stall on the side and said: "You can see it yourself, I don't know the old men in other places now, but in our city, all the merchants are using this new money." No one disagrees. On the other hand, if you give copper plates and gold and silver, you will not be willing to do so. ”
"According to the exchange rate given by the imperial court now, these new money can be very valuable, and when they are exchanged in the bank, they can exchange more, and now everyone only accepts new money, just thinking that they can earn more."
Listening to the situation told by the store, Zhu Di pondered for a while, but he was still a little uncertain.
It always feels like it's okay to do this, but when it goes wrong, it's a big problem.
But the doubts in my heart couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Just when Zhu Di was thinking suspiciously, Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaochi on the side spoke.
"Shopkeeper, according to what you said, if everyone now uses these Xuande coins to exchange for gold and silver, and the exchange rate is still so good, wouldn't the imperial court lose money?"
"Besides, even if it's the imperial court, there won't be so much gold and silver to exchange, right?"
Although Zhu Gaochi didn't think that the old man could explain these deeper questions clearly, he couldn't help but ask them.
But after hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, the old man still looked left and right cautiously, and after seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "You don't know anything about the guest officer." ”
"Because our city is closer to the capital, some gossip in the capital has also been spread, but these words can't be said casually, just let me joke after hearing them, don't mention it to others again, it will make some adults unhappy."
"Just a few days ago, I also heard from the owner of a grocery store on the street that some of their family lived in the capital, saying that they had some relationship with some powerful people in the capital, and he told me that it was best to collect Xuande coins recently. It is said that now the imperial court doesn't know where to get a bunch of mountains of gold and silver like mountains, and sea ships as high as mountains, and they are pulled back one by one. ”
"Now the court has so much gold and silver that it can't be put down, so the court dares to do this."
"Do you think, if the imperial court really brought back so much gold and silver, it would be okay if these gold and silver were left in the palace, but if it was really spent by our new emperor, wouldn't there be a lot more gold and silver on the market?"
"The price of these gold and silver grains and goods will rise, and if you don't take this opportunity to earn more Xuande coins, you will be really blind if you keep those gold and silver at home."
This old man is a businessman walking the streets and alleys.
Some of the thoughts in his head were really different from ordinary people.
For example, the quantity and value of gold and silver will naturally be linked to the value of grain and goods.
However, most of the ordinary people who cultivate the fields can't think of this layer.
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, who were listening to the old man talk about this, didn't expect that the old man really knew the questions they were wondering.
"Shopkeeper, is your news conclusive? Don't be some rumors, it will be a big loss when the time comes. ”
For such news, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi naturally couldn't believe it.
Boatloads of gold and silver, like hills, were pulled back in boats.....
That kid has the ability, they know it.
However, even if you have the ability, it won't be said that these gold and silver are like dreams, and piles of them are conjured up, right?
But after hearing Zhu Gaochi's questioning, the shopkeeper of this noodle stall was a little unhappy: "Guest officer, I am not a person who talks nonsense, if this news is not true, I dare not tell others about it, I will lose if I lose, and I will not drag others down." ”
"Besides, if this news is not true, do you think, will all the mansions with names and surnames in the whole city go to the yamen and the money bank to exchange money?"
"Their noses are smarter than dogs."
Listening to what the old man said became more and more mysterious, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning, and then turned his head to look at Huang Yan on the side.
Almost all of the sources that his old man Zhu Di can get information now come from those spies in the East Factory.
Now that such a big thing has happened and so many tricks have been done, his old man doesn't even know it.
Although he knew about the Xuande coins before, he didn't care about it.
But when the mountains of gold and silver were brought back, he heard nothing of it.
Huang Yan, who was standing behind Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi at this moment, knew very well what this meant after feeling Zhu Di's gaze.
This is questioning why the common people know the news, but why he doesn't know, and why Dongchang didn't hear it.
Of course, there is also a possibility that there is no such thing at all, so it is naturally impossible for Dongchang to receive such news.
However, judging by the words of this noodle stall shop, this incident will not be groundless.
After all, Zhu Di, who used to be the emperor, was very aware of the habits of the dignitaries and nobles in these cities in the world.
With their indefatigable temperament, if it weren't for the fact that 99% of the news was confirmed, then they would definitely not have made such a desperate effort.
After all, they are all lords who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.
It is worse to make them suffer than to kill them.
How could they say that they were so active in catering to the orders issued by the imperial court.
However, Huang Yan, who is the supervisor of Dongchang, is full of shame at the moment.
It's good that he doesn't show such an expression, if he Huang Yan doesn't know these things at all, then there is something hidden in it.
But now seeing the look on his face, Zhu Di suddenly felt that there must be something wrong in the middle that he didn't know.
Thinking of this, because he was still on this noodle stall, Zhu Di didn't say anything, but temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned his head to look at the shopkeeper of the noodle stall and said: "I see, listening to the shopkeeper you said this, it's hard work." ”
"But now that it's all clear, then we don't dare to delay any longer, hurry back and take out all the money at home and exchange it for new currency, otherwise the loss will be great....."
Listening to Zhu Di's words, the shopkeeper of the noodle stall also took it for granted, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and change it, no matter how late it is, maybe there will be any changes, in case the government no longer exchanges according to the 1:1 quantity, it will be a real loss." ”
"Yes, thank you."
"You're welcome, officer."
“.......”
After the old man Zhu Di and the shop owner of the noodle stall finally exchanged two more polite words, Zhu Di left with Zhu Gaochi and Na Huang Yan.
After leaving the noodle stall and walking to a place with few people, Zhu Di had time to open his back to Huang Yan and say, "Huang Yan, what happened?" Is there something you haven't told me? ”
Listening to Zhu Di's question, Huang Yan, who was behind Zhu Di at this time, immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and then didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said: "Master, don't you know, in the past six months, the son of the family has been trying every means to reduce the authority of the East Factory, although the establishment of the East Factory has not been officially abolished, but now the authority of the East Factory has been reduced a lot. ”
"That's why the little ones haven't sent you a message for so many days."
"Today's Dongchang can't say that it can get information about the world as before, that is, the news of 'Fushang' can't be spread at all now, and Gongzi has almost cut off all sources of information from the outside world in Fushang."
"Most of the small subordinates have now been dismissed to their hometowns for retirement, and most of the people in the house are newcomers."
Listening to these things that Huang Yan said, Zhu Di didn't understand these things until this moment.
It just made him angrier even more.
"If you already know this, why didn't you report it sooner?"
Facing Zhu Di's questioning, Huang Yan looked ashamed and said, "Master, after all, it is a son who is doing this..... There are some things, the small ones can only say a few more words when you ask, and the little ones dare to gossip about the son...."
As Huang Yan's words were finished, the tense expression on Zhu Di's face relaxed slightly.
If you think about it, too.
For myself, maybe there are many things that don't need to be taboo.
But for this Huang Yan and those courtiers around him, it is the emperor of the dynasty who is doing these things now, his own grandson of Zhu Di.
Everything that was done represented the imperial power.
If this Huang Yan really took the initiative to complain to him, let alone whether he would help him solve it, even he, Zhu Di, would wonder if this Huang Yan had any crooked thoughts.
However, now that Huang Yan said this, he Zhu Di felt a little guilty.
This Huang Yan has been by his side for so many years, and in the end, his old man will no longer be the emperor, not to mention what kind of result he Huang Yan will have in the end, and now he can't even keep Dongchang.
But what Zhu Di didn't know was that Huang Yan, as the factory governor of the East Factory, said all this at this juncture, not simply because of the reasons he said.
is because he Huang Yan knows Zhu Di too well.
So he can't take the initiative to say such things.
can only wait for Zhu Di to ask.
In this way, maybe the old emperor will have an explanation, whether it is for the sake of future sources or for his Huang Yan.
Really.
After Huang Yan explained this matter to the old man Zhu Di, Zhu Di did not stop there, but continued to ask: "What about Jinyiwei?" ”
When Zhu Di set up the East Factory, the reason why he added another East Factory with almost the same authority after owning Jinyiwei was because in his opinion, Jinyiwei could no longer be fully trusted.
These brocade guards deal with ministers all day long, and their relatives in the palace are all in the capital, so they must have a connection with the ministers.
After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be collusion with officials.
Now that he heard that the authority of Dongchang was banned little by little, the old man Zhu Di naturally immediately thought of this.
