At first, Zhang Yifan thought he was wrong. I flipped through it again, and finally confirmed that I was not mistaken.

This Zheng Jingxue actually learned to give interest? Zhang Yifan thought in his heart, so he took out one casually, handed it back to Zheng Jingxue, and said: "Since you said that the money for betting, there is one more, and it is consistent." When Zheng Jingxue saw it, he didn't answer, and said a little embarrassed: "Donkey, I originally wanted to change the new banknotes to pay you back, but it was too late for a while, so I could only give you these old banknotes!" ”

“？？？” Zhang Yifan listened, a little inexplicable, and felt that his answer was a bit bull's head and wrong horse's mouth, so he said,

"It doesn't matter if it's old or new, there's one more!" With the usual money, you can go to the next restaurant and have a big meal.

This money is nothing to Zhang Yifan, but it is definitely a lot of money for Zheng Jingxue's family.

"No, donkey......" When Zheng Jingxue heard this, he came back to his senses a little, and said to Zhang Yifan,

"The imperial court has a new money pouring method, if the old banknotes, the imperial court has to charge some additional money, saying that it is to recover the cost of the new printing of Daming treasure banknotes. Therefore, this old banknote is less valuable than the new banknote, so it is necessary to give one more! When Zhang Yifan heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, this is the policy of that fool, and he actually has to charge the cost of work?

This Ming Dynasty treasure banknote has no gold and silver reserves, and is issued entirely by the reputation of the imperial court. This kind of issuance, in principle, is no problem, as long as the credibility of the imperial court is there.

However, according to Zheng Jingxue, what kind of banknote pouring method actually treats the Ming treasure banknotes differently, isn't it clearly telling the people of the Ming Dynasty that the old banknotes are not worth the face value and have depreciated.

And all the new banknotes will inevitably become old banknotes, that is to say, this is equivalent to the Ming court digging its own pit to destroy the credibility of the Ming treasure banknotes.

This classmate Zhu Yuanzhang has a brain show! Thinking in his heart, Zhang Yifan asked Zheng Jingxue: "I'm not familiar with this Daming treasure banknote, can you tell me all the regulations about this Daming treasure banknote?" "The Daming treasure banknote was printed and issued in the eighth year of Hongwu.

Now, it's only been a year. And Zhang Yifan's experience as a colt has now become familiar to the people of Beijing because of several major events in a row, especially the smallpox plague.

Not to mention, Zheng Jingxue also went to Liujia Village to teach him. Therefore, Zheng Jingxue knew that before Zhang Yifan met the princess, he probably hadn't seen what the Daming treasure banknote looked like at all.

So, after he glanced at his father, he told Zhang Yifan carefully and told him everything he knew about the Daming treasure banknote.

Even his father added a note about salt introduction. After listening, Zhang Yifan finally knew the situation of Daming Treasure Banknotes.

To be honest, he thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang came up with paper money as the national currency, which is absolutely correct, and it is far better than metal currency.

I don't know how convenient it is to carry one item alone. If it were possible, he really didn't want the Ming Dynasty to end up as waste paper as in history.

So, after he saw off Zheng Jingxue's father and son, and agreed with Zheng Jingxue to be Mr. Liujia Village Social Studies, he called Zhu Jingjing and went to his eldest brother's house for dinner.

It's too troublesome to find Zhu Yuanzhang directly, and it's not easy to see. But it is much easier to find the prince Zhu Biao.

As long as Zhu Biao is told, it means that Zhu Yuanzhang also knows. When Zhang Yifan and the two arrived, Zhu Biao was still handling government affairs, and the crown princess accompanied them to talk.

Anyway, they are all acquaintances, and Zhang Yifan also hugged Zhu Xiongying and played for a while. I don't know if this little guy can be the emperor in this life?

When it was about to be dinner, Zhu Biao came back, and as soon as he saw his expression, he knew that something was wrong. Seeing Zhang Yifan wandering around his house and playing with his son, Zhu Biao said angrily: "You are really idle, I can tell you, my father said that after your competition, I will arrange an errand for you!" ”

"Huh?" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately shouted,

"Big brother, you have to tell me, I'm not idle at all, I have a lot of things to do." Zhu Biao took his son from his arms, sat down, and replied while teasing his son: "What are you busy with?" The things of the competition are not all worried about by the fourth. Let me tell you, my father also watched you idle for a while because you solved the smallpox plague, otherwise this incident would have sent you out. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yifan sat down beside him and asked with some curiosity. As for Zhu Jingjing, she didn't come over, hugging the princess's youngest daughter while whispering to the princess.

When Zhu Biao heard Zhang Yifan's question, he didn't hide it from him, and immediately replied: "The flood in the area of Songjiang Mansion is serious, and my father will send a messenger to verify the local disaster situation and give tax relief and exemption according to the situation." "The lower reaches of the Yangtze River are flooded in summer and autumn, even in later generations, so it is not surprising that Zhang Yifan is not surprised.

Listening to Zhu Biao's meaning, like this kind of thing, Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously more inclined to send his family to see the situation.

Regarding this point, Zhang Yifan's understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang is not unexpected. If the disaster is serious, the imperial court will provide disaster relief and reduce taxes; If he knew that the situation was untrue and there was no disaster relief, it would cause local resentment, which must be the most unhappy thing for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in poverty.

But if the local exaggeration of the disaster is also not tolerated. So, he was going to find someone he could trust.

Zhang Yifan estimated that he would definitely get such an errand in the future. Publicly-funded tourism, Minister of Mission, Bao Qingtian?

It seems to be fun, you can go! He was thinking about it, and he heard Zhu Biao say again: "I said Yifan, the money you mentioned is really nerve-wracking, and you are the fault for delaying things today!" "Disaster relief needs money, and when it comes to money, Zhu Yuanzhang is cautious.

Of course, he didn't want the Daming treasure banknote to depreciate, so he discussed this matter. As a result, no one was satisfied, and everyone dispersed later.

Zhang Yifan was still thinking about how to say this, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao to mention money, so he immediately took over the topic and said: "What's so difficult about this matter, come and ask me!" ”

"I think so!" Zhu Biao nodded and said,

"You came up with it first, maybe you have a way, or not. It's just that my father thinks you're too young and haven't served in the court. I have no experience in state affairs, so I guess it's useless to ask. After you do more things in the future, my father will definitely ask you often! ”

"......" Zhang Yifan was speechless, it seems that it is still a matter of age! Thinking so in his heart, he said: "Actually, it just so happened that I encountered an incident related to this money. As he spoke, he told Zhu Biao the news that Zheng Jingxue had heard.

"Yes, there is such a thing." Zhu Biao listened, nodded and said,

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Obviously, this Xiao Zhu is not much smarter than Lao Zhu. So, Zhang Yifan asked Zhu Biaodao: "To put it bluntly, the Daming treasure banknote is a piece of paper, and the face value is printed on it, and you can exchange it for other people's food, clothes, or something, why?" ”

"According to the laws of the imperial court!" Zhu Biao listened to it and said without thinking about it. His father had a rule that all should be bought and sold with Ming treasure banknotes, and gold and silver were forbidden.

"Wrong!" Zhang Yifan listened and said negatively without hesitation,

"It's the people who use the money, and they believe that the face value printed on this paper is real, so they can use this paper to exchange for the corresponding goods!" When Zhu Biao heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly and pondering.

Zhang Yifan waited for a while, and then continued: "In other words, in fact, the people use this piece of paper because they believe that this piece of paper is worth so much, that is, the court said that this piece of paper is worth so much, are you right?" This sentence is easy to understand, and after Zhu Biao heard it, he nodded in approval.

So, Zhang Yifan said again: "This is actually the credibility of the imperial court, and if the imperial court says it is worth it, then it is worth as much as it is." Zhu Biao listened and nodded again.

The crown princess noticed that they were talking about business, so she asked Zhu Jingjing to go over and take Zhu Xiongying away.

Zhang Yifan, on his side, continued: "Then if this is the case, why did the imperial court come up with that money pouring law? Doesn't this tell the people that this paper is not worth so much money! Isn't this a slap in the face? ”

"No, the Zhongshu Province has withdrawn the old banknotes, and if you print new money, you will need the capital!" Zhu Biao listened and hurriedly explained.

Zhang Yifan didn't answer when he heard it, just looked at him. After Zhu Biao looked at him for a while, he said a little embarrassed: "It seems a little wrong!" "I've been reminded like this, if Zhu Biao doesn't know him yet, then he will be really stupid.

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan said again: "Also, the imperial court stipulates that gold and silver can be exchanged for treasure money, so why can't treasure money be exchanged for gold and silver?" ”

"Because ......" Zhu Biao opened his head and knew that there was a trap in it, so he simply changed his words and asked directly,

"Say, what's wrong?" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he said patiently: "Since the imperial court stipulates that the Ming treasure banknote is money, that is to say, money can buy any goods, right?" Why, then, is it forbidden to buy gold or silver? Is this also a slap in the face, so that the people don't trust that the Daming treasure banknote is really money? Zhu Biao listened and pondered again.

Zhang Yifan continued to complain: "Also, the imperial court collects taxes, why only collects new banknotes, and only allows a part of the tax to be discounted? In this way, there are many things that slap yourself in the face. On the one hand, they told the people that it was money, and on the other hand, they said that it was not money. So is this money or not? Zhu Biao still didn't speak, still thinking hard.

An extremely ordinary, seemingly simple, and everyone's favorite money, there are so many sayings! After a long time, Zhu Biao suddenly sighed, and then sighed: "Many ministers in the DPRK and China have not seen it clearly as you can!" It can be heard that he is convinced of Zhang Yifan at least in this regard.
