As for the past two days, although Lao Zhu is not in the court, but Zhu Biao is in charge of the country, Lao Zhu is also well aware of Zhu Biao's actions.

Especially the progress of the new currency, Zhu Yuanzhang is also very satisfied, after all, the poor in the imperial court are almost unable to open the pot, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to print the money quickly.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little confused about Zhu Biao's establishment of a market transaction management department and the fact that he also asked the household department to check the grain situation.

Ying Tianfu's harvest is not bad, there is no famine, but if you check this thing, can you still conjure up food out of thin air?

After all, even if the people don't have food, at best, they will open a warehouse from the imperial court to release grain, as for the gentry and wealthy merchants, although they are hateful, there is no reason, and it is impossible for Lao Zhu to go to their house to rob them, right?

Well?

Although, Lao Zhu thinks there is nothing wrong with doing this, but it can't be too explicit, so he has to be subtle, after all, he is also the emperor no matter what he says now, otherwise, Lao Zhu will really go to Ming to rob it.

"Boss, we probably know about what you've done recently, but there's one thing we don't understand."

After pulling the calf, Lao Zhu quickly got to the point, and then looked at Zhu Biao and Xiao Han and asked: "There is nothing wrong with anything else, we are also very satisfied with the progress of the new currency, but why do you want to set up a transaction management department, and even the household department is involved, to check the grain of Tianfu for you, what is this picture?" ”

Xiao Han still lowered his head.

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.

But the problem has to be solved.

"Dad, we print new currency, we can't print it directly and innocently, we must have a certificate, and my Daming Treasury lacks gold and silver, so using grain as a certificate is the best choice."

"That's why the child will ask the household department to check the grain situation in Yingtianfu, including the establishment of the Market Transaction Management Division, one is to register and make a register, and the other is to be managed by the Market Transaction Management Department in a unified manner."

But for Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhu Biao didn't think about it, he just didn't think about it.

"Credentials?"

"We are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can't the next holy decree be used as a certificate, why bother so much?"

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is worthy of unqualified economic ability, even after listening to Zhu Biao's explanation, the whole person is still confused.

Besides, in Zhu Yuanzhang's cognition, as long as he doesn't touch the people, what does the government want to do, is it not a matter of him, Emperor Hongwu, in a word?

"Dad, with all due respect to my son, if we forcibly release a new currency in the Ming Dynasty, it will be tantamount to robbing the people's wealth."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said righteously.

"What did you say?"

"Robbing the people?"

"No, we printed money for the people to spend, how did it end up, and it became us robbing the people, how can there be such a reason in this world?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze, and his brows furrowed for a while, and he looked at Zhu Biaodao.

He Zhu Yuanzhang, behaves rightly, sits upright, and puts the people first in everything, and the people of the world can accuse him of treating doctors, officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen harshly, but no one can say that he Lao Zhu oppresses the people.

"Dad, after you listen to me, you said that according to your ideas, our new currency is printed, how should it be used?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang unhurriedly and asked rhetorically.

is too familiar with Zhu Yuanzhang, so Zhu Biao has done this question many times in his heart, and he is very familiar with it.

"Do you need to ask?"

"Relief to the people, distribute money to hundreds of officials, and buy materials for the imperial court."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked at Zhu Biaodao.

Today's eldest son is a bit abnormal, otherwise, with Zhu Biao's ability, how could such a simple question be worth asking?

Sure enough, you talk about the economy with Lao Zhu, which is tantamount to playing the piano to the cow, anyway, Xiao Han is obedient, fight the world, that is Zhu Yuanzhang's life, sitting in the world, but not suitable for Lao Zhu, no wonder, the Ming Dynasty can die of poverty, it turns out that his mother is still genetic!

"Daddy, have you ever wondered what would happen if you kept running like this?"

Zhu Biao continued to look directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The court, the officials, and the people all have silver in their hands, and of course life is prosperous, otherwise, what else can happen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed even deeper, although he had a bad premonition, he still didn't know why.

"No!"

"Dad, although there is a lot of money, there are still so many kinds of materials in my Ming Dynasty, and our imperial court and our hundred officials use the new currency to buy a large amount of food from the people, and the total amount of things is decreasing, so the price will naturally rise."

"So, when the people turn their heads, they will find that the new currency they get from selling one stone of grain can only buy half a stone of grain in the blink of an eye?"

"Then Dad, you said, if you do what you say, wouldn't my Daming take a few pieces of waste paper and rob the people of bankruptcy?"

Zhu Biao's eyes were serious, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly and said.

"Ahh Be. Really"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, muttered a few words, and then fell silent, and for a while, he couldn't speak.

"Whew."

"So Dad, if we want to release a new currency, we must have a certificate as a guarantee to ensure the value of the new currency, not just nonsense, otherwise, it won't be long before the new currency will really become waste paper, and the imperial court will completely lose the private market, and it will lose its credibility."

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed his hand slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: "Dad, sweating, this shock, our Royal Highness the Prince, the shock was not light at that time, you, the emperor, can't run!" ”

"You're right, boss, but thankfully you're in charge of the new currency, if it's us"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, then waved his hand again and said: "Isn't it no different from that tyrannical yuan, and he has betrayed the trust of the people in the world."

But while speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still a little self-blaming, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he looked at Zhu Biao fiercely, no, this is his cub, when did he become so powerful?

Lao Zhu didn't understand this big truth, how did Zhu Biao understand it?

How does Zhu Biao understand?

"Wind and snow, don't hide."

"You taught these words, right?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze fell on Xiao Han behind Zhu Biao.

"Ahem!"

"These economic concepts were indeed told to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by Fengxue, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talented and intelligent, and he understands the seriousness of them."

Xiao Han coughed dryly twice, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and explained, and at the same time took it out for himself.

"Huh."

"You don't give Lao Tzu this set, how many pounds and taels does this little rabbit cub have, can he have this ability?"

"Can we be old men?"

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, they were all cubs raised by him, what level, he didn't count it in his heart?

If our old Zhu family has this talent, can they live a poor life all the time?

What else did Zhu Biao say about his talent and intelligence, you look at his confused appearance, it is definitely a one-to-one replica of Xiao Han's words, otherwise, Zhu Biao would not be able to pop out of his mouth.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, Daming has a Xiao Fengxue, otherwise, he doesn't know how many detours he will take, and according to his temperament, he will definitely try his best to disagree with the public, stick to his own path, finish the matter, and completely scrap the new currency, which is really worth the loss.

But although Lao Zhu thought so in his heart, he still didn't have a good mouth: "Come on, come on, and then say, tell us at one time, let us see, what kind of solution did you two come up with, and even we went around it." ”

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang took out his own tickle again and tickled it slightly.

"Dad, according to the economic theory of Fengxue, we use grain as the basis to issue a new currency, and there are three victories, and these three victories can make my Ming Dynasty prosperous in a short period of time, and even, long-term stability."

Xiao Han and Zhu Biao glanced at each other, and Zhu Biao stood up and continued to speak, but when he thought that such a policy would come from him, he couldn't help but straighten his chest slightly.

"If you want to issue a new currency with grain, you need to collect all the world's grain into my Ming treasury, such as our pilot in Jinling."

"It is necessary to collect all the grain in Jinling in the treasury, and restrict the people from withdrawing grain from our Daming treasury, including the gentry and wealthy merchants, who can come to withdraw rations every month."

"This victory is that gold and silver cannot be born quickly, and grain grows in the ground, even if my court is temporarily short and prints more new currency, it can be used to fill the exposed holes with grain in the second year."

"The second victory, the world's grain is in the Ming Treasury, if someone deliberately rebels, want to solve the problem of military food, it is very difficult, if you rob the Ming Treasury, then the heavy army ambush and annihilate it, if you rob the people of rations, not to mention a drop in the bucket, the thief has lost the hearts of the people, the dry bones in the grave, not to be afraid."

"The third victory, a two-pronged approach, not only to use grain as a guarantee for the new currency, but also to recover gold and silver, promote the official trading market, to ensure the follow-up reserves of the treasury, and in the future, I can also be invincible!"

Zhu Biao made a loud voice, his eyes were shining, and he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Good!"

"What a three-win!"

"Wonderful! Great! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said: "It is worthy of being our standard, our little gentleman, and it really won't disappoint us." ”

These three wins and one out, who can shake our Daming country?

After all, when Lao Zhu joined the army back then, if he encountered this one, he was afraid that he would be directly numb, and robbing the official warehouse guarded by heavy soldiers would be like a moth to a fire, and directly robbing the people would be a loss of people's hearts, and it would be a complete death.

"Wait a minute."

"Something is wrong?"

"The Transaction Management Department you are talking about doesn't mean the same thing we talked about in Kunning Palace before, right?"

But in an instant, Lao Zhu narrowed his eyes again, looked at Xiao Han and Zhu Biao and said, "How do we remember, before the reform of the currency trading system and the removal of it from the Ministry of Households, it was not the Transaction Management Division, right?" ”

This was almost bypassed by these two stinky boys, and it was all about the monetary system, but what does it have to do with this transaction management division?

After all, the Transaction Management Division, the name, may not have much to do with the currency, so it also manages the currency of a?

"Naturally, there is a department that manages the currency, and the Transaction Management Division is naturally the place to manage transactions."

"I may not have talked to you about this before, but later, when I was chatting with Feng Xue, the department that came out of the conversation was also ready to tell you today."

Zhu Biao's scalp is a little numb, after all, Lao Zhu has always looked down on businessmen, and if it is really not handled properly, Lao Zhu will be angry, maybe even the currency may be canceled.

"Yes, uncle, as I said before, the household department is in charge of the world's finances, and if the currency trading system is included in the household department, it will inevitably not be managed, so new departments must be opened."

"But Feng Xue also said that reforming the currency trading system is to reform the currency first, and then reform the transaction, in order to complete a series of systems, otherwise, it will be useless."

"Therefore, whether it is the printing and regulation of new currency, or the management of market transactions, it must go hand in hand."

Xiao Han stood up decisively and said.

"But Fengxue, boss, you know, we hate those businessmen the most, those people don't produce, they know all day long about speculation and defrauding the people of their money, how can we open the door for them?"

"Is it just for the sake of that little commercial tax that you indulge them to cheat the people out of their money?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"This"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, but he didn't know where to start, after all, Lao Zhu looked down on businessmen from the bottom of his heart, this is an ironclad fact.

"I couldn't agree more."

"Merchants are jackals who want to devour the people."

Xiao Han did nod and said.

"Right?"

Seeing Xiao Han speak, Zhu Biao also wanted to agree, but when he heard what Xiao Han said, he couldn't help but widen his eyes?

It's fierce!

Big brother, what the hell are you doing?

If you don't help me speak, what does it mean to help the old man speak?

Is the trading market not open?

New currency is not issued?

"Hahaha!"

"Sure enough, Fengxue still understands our minds, and Shang Jia's thing can't give him a good face."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and was very satisfied.

"But did my uncle ever think that if a wolf gave a bone and put an iron chain on it, it could also become a dog."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's trading market is to give them bones, and the trading market management department is the iron chain around their necks."

"If these jackal merchants can be trained as lackeys, not only will they not bite the people, but they will help the people to run various daily necessities and make their lives better."

"Besides, with the iron chain of the Market Transaction Management Division, they have become lackeys, even if they want to deceive the people, I am afraid they can't do it, but we can improve the lives of the people at the same time, but also collect a large amount of commercial taxes, providing a wealth for my Ming Dynasty."

"You have to remember that in ancient times, Dayu controlled the water and told the world that it is better to block than to sparse, and this businessman is of course a flood beast, but if we sort it out, it is also a blessing, isn't it?"

But Xiao Han opened his mouth again, and the explanation he gave didn't give Zhu Yuanzhang a chance to refute at all, after all, you can't completely reverse Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions, it will backfire.

But if you follow Lao Zhu's words, it is better to block than to sparse.

"That's right."

"Dad, that's what my son wants to say."

Zhu Biao's eyes showed a touch of joy and nodded.

"Isn't it better to be blocked?"

"Okay."

"In that case, let's not care about this matter, you two can toss it yourself, but remember, put the chain on those jackals, don't let them out."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Xiao Han and Zhu Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief, this matter has finally come to an end, otherwise, it has always been impossible to say that Lao Zhu, reforming the currency trading system is equivalent to an arrow on the string, but it can't be shot.

But now it's different, as long as Lao Zhu can nod, that little voice in the court is nothing at all, don't forget, he Xiao Han is known as the tongue war group of Confucians, what are you afraid of those sour Confucians?

Xiao Han and Zhu Biao walked out of the gate of Kunning Palace, got into the prince's chariot, Zhu Biao patted Xiao Han's shoulder, and said with some emotion: "Finally made sense of the old man, if it weren't for you, I would have messed up today, so when this law is completely unveiled, and I will be in peace for a long time, I will personally write a book and ask you to be a duke." ”

"Don't make a fuss."

"This method is not for you to use as an heirloom, when I have survived the initial abject poverty and have enough gold and silver, we will have to exchange the basis for issuing new currency."

Xiao Han shook his head, the grain standard was intended to be used to survive difficult times from the beginning, but it was not a long-term solution.

"Why?"

"Isn't that great?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han with some puzzlement, in his opinion, this set of plans, referred to as impeccable, should ensure the peace of the Ming Dynasty.

"The reason is very simple, food is too important, once we do large-scale business with other countries, or start a war, the new currency is still tied to food, which will make us very passive."

"That's why, as I said at the beginning, you have to do both."

Xiao Han shook his head again, looked at Zhu Biao and explained.

"Isn't there a food stamp restriction?"

"They don't have food stamps, they can't exchange for food, what can they do with my Daming?"

"Moreover, if they want to disrupt the trading market for my rice, there are naturally restrictions from the Market Transaction Management Division."

Zhu Biao still didn't care, the restriction of the new currency is in the food stamps, which is equivalent to locking the safe, which is very secure.

"Well, the interference of the Transaction Management Department is actually tantamount to hooliganism, and from the principle of the market, people have a new currency in their hands, and they can use it themselves."

"So, it's okay to do this kind of thing once or twice once in a while, but if we do too much, it will definitely affect our business with foreign countries, and besides, I actually have higher expectations for the new currency."

Xiao Han first waved his hand, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "Think about it, if my new currency of the Ming Dynasty can be circulated in all countries, then it will allow my Ming Dynasty to surrender without a fight, such as the former Qi State Kru, so if you want to circulate the new currency, it will definitely not work to bind the grain all the time." ”

After all, binding grain seems to be safe, but in fact, the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty was handed over to God, so if God doesn't give it his strength, the Ming Dynasty will have to die in the country!
