Time flew by, more than a month had passed since the end of the exercise, and people seemed to have forgotten about it selectively, for fear that the mention of it would touch the headmaster's brow.

During this month, I learned some firearms, artillery, battle formations, and a little bit of the art of war.

In the blink of an eye, the month of March has arrived, and these students will also usher in their first holiday at the school.

No, as soon as there was a holiday, the students who were familiar with him poured into the city of Beijing in groups of three or five, shoulder to shoulder.

Suddenly, you can see such a scene, on the official road of Beijing, many sturdy young people, talking and laughing, rushed to the city together, and it became a beautiful scenery.

As for Zhang Yun, since he hadn't communicated with the emperor for many days before, he had to have a good relationship with this top boss. At the same time, to make a fortune, you also need the support of this top boss.

No, just after noon on this day, Zhang Yun walked around to the gate of Qianqing Palace with a smile, and the eunuch guarding the door saw that it was Zhang Yun who did not dare to stop him, so he hurriedly reported inside.

After a while, the eunuch returned with a smile and said respectfully: "Master Hou, the emperor sent you in." ”

Zhang Yun tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and then walked briskly inside.

"Minister, Zhang Yun has seen the emperor, long live the emperor..., long live long live, long live, long live..." As soon as he entered, Zhang Yun bowed his head and saluted, anyway, this is a routine operation.

However, when it made him strange, Wanli didn't ask him to excuse him, so Zhang Yun had to quietly raise his head.

As a result, he saw Wanli sitting on the dragon chair with a serious face, but behind him, Feng Bao was gone, but a slightly younger middle-aged eunuch.

"Zhang Yun, you are so bold. Dare to sneak out of the princess's mansion with his royal sister, do you really think I really don't dare to kill you? ”

"Your Majesty... The minister knows the sin, and the minister knows the sin. Zhang Yun was frightened and knelt on the ground with a plop.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire hall dropped a lot, and although it was the height of summer, Zhang Yun still felt a chill.

"Hmph......" Wanli frowned and snorted coldly, "I'll let you go this time, and next time it's no wonder I don't miss the old love." ”

"Yes, yes, yes... I have thanked the emperor for his grace, and I have thanked the emperor for his grace..."

Zhang Yun hurriedly got up and thanked him, and at the same time stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

"Hahaha......"

Seeing Zhang Yun's embarrassed appearance, Wanli leaned back and turned back with a smile, and finally shouted at the hall with a smile, "Imperial sister, come out quickly, I'm afraid that this kid will be frightened, and you will be the one who will suffer at that time." ”

As soon as the words fell, at a screen behind the dragon chair, a beautiful woman in a white dress covered her mouth and walked out, with a graceful posture and a graceful posture, who else could there be if it wasn't Princess Yongning.

I saw her twist her body and walk to Zhang Yun's side, first glanced at Zhang Yun, and then said to Wan Li Jiao on the dragon chair: "Brother Huang, you are too fierce, I thought you were really angry just now." ”

Zhang Yun was speechless, the two brothers and sisters didn't have a good person, and they joined forces to pit themselves.

I not only helped Wanli make money, but even helped take care of his empty and lonely sister, and often discussed some life philosophies with her.

It's not bad if you want mental damage, but it's really unbearable for you to tease yourself like this.

"Yongning, don't be deceived by this kid's rhetoric, if he dares to do you bad in the future, you can come and talk to me." Wanli raised his eyebrows and promised, "Also, this kid has money, if you lack something, just ask him for it." ”

Do you need to say this? Can I lose her?

Zhang Yun immediately took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, the minister has already added some fresh items to the princess's mansion, and I dare not snub Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Princess Yongning and said, "If there is anything missing in Her Royal Highness Princess's mansion, just instruct the ministers, as long as the ministers can do it, they will never refuse." ”

"Hmm." Princess Yongning responded with a red face.

Since Zhang Yun became familiar with her, he never called her a princess in private, and he really regarded her as a little woman, not a princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, his respectful appearance made Princess Yongning a little uncomfortable.

Wanli saw that the two of them were flirting, and waved his hand again and again, "If you two want to say something about love here, you should stop me." ”

"Imperial brother...... Princess Yongning suddenly snorted and dragged her voice out.

The voice was delicate to the bone, so Wanli couldn't bear it, so he quickly changed the topic, "By the way, Zhang Yun, what are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, then remembered what was going on, so he took out a silver dollar and a piece of broken silver from his arms.

"What do you ask you about, what do you show off with your money?"

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient." Zhang Yun smiled slightly, and explained, "I want you to guess how much these two pieces of silver are worth?" ”

"I don't guess, you say it quickly, or I'll ask someone to beat you up."

Good guy, you are high, you are amazing, you can't mess with yourself.

"The one on the left is about three coins (one tain is about 3.75 grams), and the one on the right is exactly one tael (50 grams) of silver."

Wanli was puzzled, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Then what does this have to do with what you said?" ”

"The minister can turn the small silver dollar on the left into a tael of silver on the right."

As soon as these words came out, Princess Yongning and Wanli both opened their mouths wide, with a look of disbelief.

After a long time, Wanli woke up from his stunned state and said hesitantly: "This... How is this possible? The common people are not stupid, how can they exchange these things with you? ”

Zhang Yun knew that he had been explaining to him for a long time, and he probably didn't know what the silver standard was, so he knew to change it to a popular way.

"Did the emperor ever know about the silver ticket?"

"Nonsense."

The corners of Zhang Yun's mouth rose slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Isn't this silver ticket just a piece of paper?" Why can I exchange it for silver taels at the bank? ”

It shouldn't have any value in itself, and it can't be exchanged for hundreds of taels, or even thousands of taels of silver? ”

In this era, like the cheques of later generations, silver stamps could only be stored as vouchers, but could not be directly used as currency.

What Zhang Yun thought was to establish the silver standard, replace it with silver dollars first, and then issue silver dollar coupons, so that the silver of the Ming Dynasty should be enough.

When the time comes, the state will set up a bank to absorb the people's spare money and concentrate on doing great things!

First of all, the first step is to get the common people to recognize the silver dollar.

So Zhang Yun came to Wanli and asked him to approve him to issue silver dollars in Qingdao and Tianjin first, and test the water first, so that if there was a bad pool, it would be easy to remedy.

"Is it really possible?" Wanli knew that Zhang Yun had never deceived him about this kind of thing, so he asked tentatively again.

"The minister is willing to guarantee this matter, as long as His Majesty gives the minister support, then your inner treasury will have an inexhaustible amount of silver."

Wanli was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?" ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yun replied: "The minister wants His Majesty to set up the Silver Dollar Division, and the minister will be the chief official and be solely responsible for this matter."

"If you can really do what you said, I will naturally raise my hands in approval.

But what if it can't be done? ”

"If it can't be done, the minister is willing to be punished and let His Majesty dispose of it."

"Then it's a deal."
