Chapter 258: The Great Event of Coinage

Zhu Biao remembered the riot in the Guanya Bureau that day and the tragic situation of the people holding stacks of banknotes in exchange for less than a pound of rice after using paper money before, and hurriedly persuaded Lao Zhu: "Father." It's better to follow what the twelfth brother said. Let's start by minting copper coins. ”

Lao Zhu always thought that he could exchange paper for silver in the hands of the people, which was really cool.

This time, Zhu Bai showed him the so-called credit collapse, and he realized that there was a big problem in doing so.

Even if it could, it was not yet ripe.

Eat the rice one bite at a time, otherwise you will choke.

Lao Zhu pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”

Zhu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.

Lao Zhu said: "Wait, what to run." I'm not done yet. ”

Zhu Bai could only stand with his hands on his hands again.

Lao Zhu said: "We always feel that it is inappropriate to hand over this matter of coinage to others. It is inevitable that there will be those who are corrupt and pervert the law to cast fake money, which will trap the people and the court. So we're going to leave this to you. Anyway, your thirteen first-level official tooth bureaus and official tooth bureaus are the same as the Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoquan Bureau. It's better to put these two bureaus directly under the control of your official tooth bureau. The official tooth bureau minted the money and sent it out. ”

I'll go, and that's nicely said.

When the time comes, this copper coin will circulate and there will be a shortfall, and I will have to make up for it.

Zhu Bai secretly gritted his teeth and pursed his lips silently.

Zhu Biao was also shocked and glanced at Lao Zhu.

The Bureaucracy has choked the flow of almost all large sums of money and most of the silver circulation.

Now he still gives Zhu Bai the right to mint money, which is not equivalent to handing over the financial lifeline of the imperial court to him.

Lao Zhu said: "Boy, we have handed over to you such a big right to mint money." You have to do a good job. ”

Zhu Bai saluted: "This responsibility is too big, and my son is too young to bear it." ”

Just kidding, now he is engaged in this bureaucracy, often subsidizing the court, and being scolded like a dog, if he takes over the job of minting money, won't he make himself a living target.

And this kind of thing looks like a lot of oil and water on the surface, but in fact, it can't be good at work.

Because Lao Zhu will definitely give him as much copper as he wants, he will mint as much as he wants.

If there is no profit, it is necessary to compensate for labor costs, losses, casting costs, and risks.

With Lao Zhu's temper, maybe give him half a catty of copper and ask him to mint a catty of copper coins.

The remaining half of the catty is all made up by him.

That's a big loss.

Lao Zhu frowned: "Bold, you are resisting the decree." ”

Zhu Bai simply knelt down: "Ask my father to take back the official tooth bureau." ”

There is also a risk, that is, it is the official tooth bureau that manages the Baoquan bureau, as it is said nicely.

Since then, the two currencies of copper and silver have been running smoothly and steadily.

It's hard to figure out that Lao Zhu wants to engage in paper money again.

Then if he refuses again, Lao Zhu will be angry and directly call the Baoquan Bureau to manage the official tooth bureau.

He is just a bamboo basket for nothing.

Anyway, now that he has saved enough money, he is happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and toss with Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu glared at Zhu Bai, and the fire in his heart "puffed" up: This kid is really ignorant.

We wanted him to rely on the deposit of Guanyinzhuang to help deal with the circulation of copper coins, but he must have seen through us, so he refused to agree.

And he is really stiff now, whenever there is something, he will use the official tooth bureau to threaten us, and whenever there is something, he will use the official tooth bureau to threaten us.

Is this trying to us off alive?

Zhu Biao saw that Lao Zhu looked like he wanted to kill again, and hurriedly said, "Father." This is a serious matter and needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Also, this old twelve's temper is really exactly the same as ours.

If you force him to do it, you can't do it.

It's better to take it slow and see if there is any other way.

Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and waved his hand at Zhu Bai: "Okay, okay, when I see you as a rebel, I get angry, hurry up and get out of here." Don't show up in front of us if it's okay. ”

Zhu Bai immediately kowtowed obediently and said, "Obey the holy decree." ”

Then he quit and ran away.

Lao Zhu saw that this bastard boy didn't give him any room to turn around, and he blocked his chest more and more, unable to swallow.

Zhu Biao saw that Lao Zhu's face was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Lao Zhu's chest: "Father, don't be angry. The twelfth brother may have his considerations. ”

Lao Zhu took a deep breath: "This kid is too cunning. ”

Zhu Biao thought for a while: "Father." It's better to let Erchen take charge of this money-making matter. ”

Lao Zhu glanced at him: "Son." It's not that we prefer your twelfth brother, but if you don't rely on the Guanya Bureau and Guanyinzhuang, it's really difficult to do a good job. Thirteen secretaries must be trustworthy people. Think about it, even old guys like Chen De and Li Shanchang, who have been with us for more than ten years, can be corrupt and pervert the law, let alone others. We can only trust your twelfth brother. ”

Why did the Baoyuan Bureau and the Baoquan Bureau stop before?

It's because the officials inside are too greedy.

If it is better, give him a pound of copper, and he can make a pound of two taels of copper by adding lead and iron. If you are ruthless, you can make two catties of copper coins.

Then he handed over a pound of copper coins to the imperial court, and he was greedy for the rest.

There is absolutely no problem for Zhu Biao to control the direction on the overall situation, but he is always cunning and treacherous.

Zhu Bai mingled in the official tooth bureau, the market and the court all day long, and thoroughly ate the rules of the government and the opposition.

So the small movements of those officials can't escape his eyes.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, don't take such a big step, first only open the Baoyuan Bureau of Yingtian, and the copper coins printed are only used within the scope of Yingtian." If there is no problem, then find a way to restore the thirteen Baoquan Bureaus. ”

Lao Zhu sighed lightly: "Okay." Let you try, you will have to take care of it in the future. ”

At dinner in the evening, Lao Zhu decided to put on a good face for Zhu Bai to make this rebel uncomfortable.

As a result, Zhu Bai did not come.

He called the eunuch to deliver a letter, saying that his nose was blocked and that he might have contracted the cold.

Lao Zhu had given an order before. If the princes are unwell, they can skip having dinner together.

Queen Ma didn't know why, so she just called the imperial doctor to take a look and told Zhu Bai to rest well.

Lao Zhu had nowhere to vent his emotions after brewing all night, and he suffocated himself.

Damn, I don't know how good this rebel's body is all day, what kind of wind and cold, he is clearly avoiding us here.

The next day, Lao Zhu announced the restoration of the Baoyuan Bureau, presided over by Zhu Biao, and ordered the Ministry of Household Industry to cooperate with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Great. It only circulates in the Yingtianfu area, the risk is controllable, and Lao Zhu can also keep an eye on it personally.

What Zhu Biao looks like has nothing to do with me.

Li Shanchang secretly glanced at Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, in addition to the Ministry of Household and Industry, the minister suggests that another respected minister should be sent to assist the prince, and it is appropriate to supervise the officials." ”

Lao Zhu seemed to smile: "Okay, who do you say is suitable." ”

Hu Weiyong is not easy to speak: it can't be too obvious to be a childcare, otherwise you have to put yourself in.

Liu Bowen came out and said: "The minister is not talented, and he is willing to assist the prince." ”

Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay." It's you. ”

Li Shanchang was so angry that his eyes straightened: Special mother, why did you get cheap Liu Shenstick in the end.
