"What did the second do?" Zhu Di's words made Zhu Gaochi suddenly feel very big, and after a pause, he could only continue: "That father... What do you mean? ”

"What can I do? Let Ying Tianfu solve the case quickly, but I'm afraid that the alcohol can't be recovered, so it's up to you to talk to that kid."

Hearing that he had to explain to Wang Siqi by himself, although Zhu Gaochi was reluctant in his heart, he could only accept it on the surface, after all, this was his father in front of him...

That's all for now, it's useless to say anything.

However, Zhu Di beckoned Zhu Gaochi to come.

But it's not that simple.

"That kid became the overseer of the Baoyuan Bureau, and I gave him jurisdiction over the Treasure Money Lifting Division, why is it that the matter of minting and printing money is still the same as in the past?"

"What is that kid doing?"

In Zhu Di's eyes, since Wang Siqi once said that there was a problem with the treasure banknote, then he had to solve the problem by letting him be the supervisor.

Otherwise, nothing has changed, and who can't sit in that seat.

Hearing Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaochi said with a wry smile: "Dad, others don't know... Don't we know it ourselves? The matter of the Baoyuan Bureau and the Treasure Money Lifting Division is definitely not something that can be clarified in a while, and the account books left behind alone are not a trivial matter. ”

"I still have to give Wang Siqi some time."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, Zhu Di was obviously a little unhappy, his expression was a little more unnatural, and his tone of voice was a little cold: "It's better to call this kid to me now, and ask me what is going on, if he doesn't have the ability to sort out my Daming treasure banknote, this will let him go back and forth." ”

.....

Treasure source bureau.

Looking at the familiar guard with a knife brocade clothes, Wang Siqi's face changed and changed in an instant, and he said with a bitter face: "Did the emperor summon me again?" ”

"It's good that Lord Wang understands, can you come with us?"

Zhu Di shouted, what can Wang Siqi do?

It didn't take long for him to appear in the palace.

"Your Majesty."

"I came to you today, if nothing else, for you."

"What's wrong with the Daming Treasure Banknote?"

Listening to Zhu Di's question.

Wang Siqi couldn't wait to put two big mouths on his mouth, blaming himself for boasting about Haikou in front of Zhu Di before, but now that the treasure money lifting division has not covered the heat in his hands, Zhu Di can't wait.

Helpless, Wang Siqi had no choice but to say: "Does the emperor know how much the Daming treasure banknotes are always worth now?" ”

"A thousand copper coins? Isn't this a rule that has already been set by the imperial court? Using treasure money instead of copper coins is naturally more consistent than consistent, and one article is more consistent than one article. ”

Wang Siqi shook his head after hearing this.

This aroused Zhu Di's curiosity, after all, the purchasing power of Daming treasure banknotes is still very stable in Zhu Di's eyes, after all, half of the Ming Dynasty officials have basically used Daming treasure banknotes instead.

This shows that treasure money should be valuable.

But Wang Siqi continued: "The Daming treasure banknote may indeed be able to do more than one on the day it was born, but today's treasure banknote is definitely not this ratio. ”

"The same thing in Beijing is bought at a completely different price with copper coins and treasure money."

"Why is the amount of treasure money needed by the imperial court yamen always higher than the price of copper coins for the same thing on the market, isn't this already clear, it is because the imperial court has always used treasure money to pay for things, and treasure money is not as good as copper money, so the price is naturally high."

This remark touched on Zhu Di's blind spot.

So there was still a little suspicion in his expression, as if he didn't believe what Wang Siqi said, so he beckoned the eunuch on the side to come over and ask: "When purchasing in the palace, do you use treasure money?" ”

Hearing Zhu Di's inquiry, how dare the eunuch tell a lie, so he hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the emperor, it is true, the daily expenses in the palace are all paid for with treasure money..."

"Is it more expensive to use treasure money than copper coins for the same thing?"

"Back to the emperor's words. . . It is true.."

Zhu Di is a smart person, he knows too well the connection between the palace and the outside world, as well as the expenses spent in the palace. is not deaf or blind, and is not worthy of being in charge, as the emperor, he can only turn a blind eye to these phenomena as if he is completely ignorant of them.

But even if it is a business with the palace, the price is already high. There is still a difference between copper coins and treasure money, what does this mean?

This just shows that the gap between the two is definitely not just a difference, and it has even reached the point of one heaven and one earth.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be annoyed.

Even Wang Siqi can see what he can see, can't any of his officials in the Manchu Dynasty see it?

Zhu Di, who frowned, continued to ask: "Doesn't the treasure money lifting division have to collect the silver on the market every year, and then issue treasure money?" How could there be such a huge gap between the treasure money and the copper coins today? ”

Listening to Zhu Di's doubts.

Wang Siqi took a step forward and explained: "This is true, but since the Treasure Banknote Lifting Division was merged into the Baoyuan Bureau, the minister has specially sent someone to carefully review the accounts of the past years, and there is a big difference in the accounts over the years, that is, the treasure banknotes have been overissued. ”

"Overhaired?"

"Exactly! Emperor.. One of the fundamental reasons for the dilemma of treasure banknotes is the problem of over-issuance of treasure banknotes, and the imperial court stipulates that the emperor's orders cannot affect the value of treasure banknotes in essence. ”

"What's more, today's Da Ming.."

"How many treasure money are still on the market, so to speak, no one knows... The imperial court blindly printed treasure money and put it into the people, but never thought about how many treasure money there are now. Is it enough to be sufficient, is it enough for circulation? ”

Wang Siqi's words made Zhu Di fall into deep thought.

The problem of Daming treasure money has always been a headache for Zhu Di, even on weekdays, there are no fewer disputes between their father and son because of this matter.

This is also why, Wang Siqi is in the Baoyuan Bureau.

Even when the errand of minting money had not yet been taken over, Zhu Di made a risky move and handed over the treasure money lifting division to Wang Siqi to handle.

There is always a solution to the matter, and Zhu Di wants to listen to Wang Siqi's suggestion at the moment.

"Then according to you, if I continue to insist on going my own way and continue to print treasure banknotes according to the original method and put them into the people, then sooner or later the treasure money will depreciate to the point that it is not as good as a piece of waste paper?"

As soon as Zhu Di's doubts came out, Wang Siqi's heart couldn't help but think: What's wrong? In the later stage, it is too hard to wipe the buttocks.
