316. New ideas brought by Jiaozi

Outside the hospital, a sudden knock on the door interrupted Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi's health time.

Cheng Yuan looked up.

He smiled gently: "His Royal Highness King Han, you have come back from trouble." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's still the eldest brother's eyeliner." ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't squeak, the news that King Han was making trouble in the palace had already been received, and said, "Second brother, sit down and have a cup of tea first." ”

Zhu Gaoxu didn't answer, his eyes crossed Zhu Gaochi and Cheng Yuan, and he sat in the pavilion, neither getting up nor looking at the woman here, the woman sat gently, exuding gentleness and peace.

She patiently revised the manuscript, and although the manuscript was half a person high, she read it one by one.

She was content, and happy.

Because she was at peace today, she didn't go out to make trouble, and she sat in the house.

Princess An Cheng said: "Donkey, there are too many typos in your manuscript, let the eldest brother help me." ”

"Oh, then Your Highness will put it first, and we will change it together in the evening." Cheng Yuan replied very casually.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was very redundant, and his sister did not treat him very well.

But after all, it's brother and sister.

An Cheng glanced at Zhu Gaoxu: "Second brother, the tea set is in the house, they are busy in the front yard at this time, you can pour tea and drink it yourself." ”

Zhu Gaochu nodded, but didn't move, and directly picked up the teapot in front of Zhu Gaochi and poured a few sips.

"Second brother, thank you for speaking for Bao Yuan."

"No, you don't! Don't come to this set. Zhu Gaoxu crossed Erlang's legs and waved his hand: "The treasure money is just one of them, I just think the old man has deceived me, so I will ask for an explanation for myself." ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes were full of tenderness.

Reminds me of those days.

Back then, when Yanwangfu was in the palace, his father Zhu Di often traveled to Saibei, and the second brother took himself to the racecourse from time to time to chat, and the two took it as fun to recognize horses.

also secretly drank together, and was also punished by the mother concubine together.

He was fat and couldn't stand for long, so the second brother helped him sentry and let him sit for a while.

Of course, all this slowly changed its flavor at the beginning of Jingnan.

For example, the father promised the second brother, such as the position of the prince, such as the position of the prince.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Gaochi's mouth.

Zhu Gaoxu is like this today, in fact, he also wants to get closer to his brother and Cheng Yuan, people sometimes still crave family affection and warmth.

"If I get into trouble, the old man will definitely be angry, you help me, if you don't help, I'll leave."

Cheng Yuan chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Since His Royal Highness the King of Han is also for the treasure money, then we are a family in this matter." ”

"Yes, second, we won't care."

Originally, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to say a few words, but Zheng He suddenly walked over accompanied by the housekeeper of Zhenguo Gong.

Seeing Zheng He coming, Zhu Gaoxu immediately became nervous, and looked at Zheng He expressionlessly: "What's the matter?" ”

Zheng He said with a smile: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Majesty has an order to ask the Duke of Zhenguo and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enter the palace to talk." ”

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and then turned his head to look at the two of them: "Looking for you." ”

After speaking, he moved a stool by himself, sat down next to Princess An Cheng, and said, "Where is Xianning?" Why didn't I see her, the second brother is going to eat at your house today. ”

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zheng He very worriedly, and looked for a topic to chat with, he was still afraid of Zhu Di.

After Cheng Yuan took two sips of tea, he smiled at Zheng He: "I'll go after changing my clothes." ”

Zheng He saw that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was like this, and nodded to Zhu Gaochu with a smile, Jin Youzi was injured, but when Queen Xu heard about it just now, she immediately dragged her sick body and went over to visit Jin Youzi.

Jin Youzi was moved, but also dispelled the idea of scheming with Zhu Gaoxu, but Empress Xu also passed on Zhu Gaochu to enter the palace.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the queen mother sent you to Kunning Palace for dinner."

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes, it would be easy to do it if it was his mother, and followed Cheng Yuan and them into the palace together.

Imperial Palace, Wuying Palace.

Cheng Yuan and Zhu Gaochi followed Zheng He into the gate, slowly came to Zhu Di's desk, and bowed.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Duke of Zhenguo are here."

Zhu Di, who was frowning and reviewing the recital, stopped at Zheng He's voice, just hummed softly and waved them to excuse him.

I continued to watch the music.

It wasn't until he finished reading the music in his hand that the eunuch next to him put the music aside that Zhu Di slowly raised his head.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhu Di seemed to recall Zhu Gaoxu's affairs, and then said: "You all know what Gao Xu did."

I know it's none of your business. I called you here to ask about the treasure money, and you two will talk about what you thought last time. ”

The two were silent.

Zhu Di beckoned to Cheng Yuan: "Boy, come here." ”

When Cheng Yuan passed, Zhu Di rummaged for something in the song, and then took out a red cloth and threw it to him: "Here, see how it goes." ”

Cheng Yuan stretched out his hand to open it, opened it twice, handed it to Zhu Gaochi, and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di pointed to Song Shu and said, "This is Xia Yuanji's idea, a few of you are in a group, see for yourself what you need to make up?" ”

After that, he lay down on the dragon chair, touched his beard and thought about Zhu Gaoxu's fuss.

Flipping through the notes, there are some suggestions from Xia Yuanji on treasure banknotes, about the limited printing of treasure banknotes, and the official prestige.

And this time, it is very disadvantageous to prohibit silver and copper coins from circulating together with treasure money.

After thinking for a whole few minutes, Cheng Yuan glanced at Zhu Gaochi, and the two simply exchanged glances.

Zhu Di said: "Cheng Yuan, you see what the prince is doing, after reading it, he will reply, what do you think of the proposal?" ”

As the person who advocated changing the treasure banknote before, Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "I still need to add a few more."

The minister didn't read much, but he remembered that there was such a sentence recorded in the classics of the Tang Dynasty.

"There are mountains of silver...... Let the people take it as they please, and the lawsuit tithes and taxes" means that the people of the silver mines in this place also have the right to mine.

At the end, the government would collect two-tenths of the silver as a tax. The use of silver as an alternative to taxation here is actually a recognition of the value of silver.

In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, various ores were mined, so it became more and more common to use silver instead of taxes.

With the development of trade along the Silk Road, the Tang Dynasty and many surrounding ethnic groups had closer trade contacts, and silver became the most important exchange currency in the process of commodity exchange.

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, after the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, in such a turbulent era, the imperial court changed rapidly, for the common people, no matter who issued the currency, it was not good, only real money and silver were really useful.

Your Majesty, the ministers are in advance of the court, which is nothing more than to tell Your Majesty that the people trust copper coins and silver very much.

If you can link the silver and copper coins with the treasure banknotes, it can also make the treasure money more stable. In fact, the minister has a bold idea, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

Zhu Di said: "Grind and chirp, speak!" ”

"In the Song Dynasty, there was Jiaozi in Shudi, because the huge amount of silver was not easy to carry, so it was inconvenient to carry the silver money to Jiaozi shopkeepers, and the shopkeepers wrote the amount on the paper rolls made of Zhuzi paper, and then handed it back to the merchants who put the money, and charged a certain storage fee, which is called Jiaozi."

Zhu Di said: "You mean Jiaozi?" ”

Cheng Yuan shook his head: "No, the minister was just inspired by Jiaozi and thought of a new way." ”

Zhu Di became interested: "Then you talk about it!" ”
