"What is this, this matter is not handled well, Your Majesty blames it, I will be punished, don't think about it!"

Xu Hui reprimanded fiercely.

When the officials heard this, they were also concerned, but what could they do.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Looking at these silent subordinates, Xu Hui waved his sleeves angrily and scolded.

Shen Jue, who was in the crowd, hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Shangshu, as far as I know, many faint banknotes are now used by the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce to exchange, do you think you should discuss with them and let them slow down first?" ”

Xu Hun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face became even more ugly, of course he knew that the traitor Li Wei made it, let him go to this traitor for help, how could it be possible!

"Looking for him? I think it's his fault! Hmph, this traitor, I will definitely ask His Majesty for a copy! ”

Xu Hui said angrily.

Not to mention, although he was angry, it really made him right. If it weren't for Li Wei's intervention, the treasure money would not have fallen so fast.

But even without Li Wei, the new banknotes in their household bank will not last long, as long as they stop, the treasure banknotes will definitely collapse.

When Shen Jue saw him say this, he obediently shut up.

Xu Hui was incompetent and furious, and scolded the group of subordinates, but in the end he still did not find a solution.

Early the next morning, Li Wei rarely got up early in the morning and rushed to the morning court. Now that the depreciation of the treasure money has almost depreciated, he estimates that the household department will not be able to hold on, and it is estimated that there will be a conclusion in the next few days, he has to pay attention to the movement in the court, and wait for the opportunity to turn the tide.

For the fact that he often does not go to the early court, the ministers are already numb, and now they don't even bother to impeach him, and it's useless to play anyway.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't expect him to go to court every day, as long as he works hard.

Even Han Yike no longer insisted, since he listened to his high arguments in the Jiaofang Division, he also woke up and gave up the idea of calling Li Wei to the early dynasty every day.

When Li Wei came to the noon gate, the ministers who were originally whispering suddenly fell silent, and only Xue Xiang and Han Yike and a few other people greeted each other.

Li Wei stepped forward, came to Xue Xiang's side, exchanged a few words with him, and then glanced at these civil and military generals, and his eyes fell on Xu Hui.

At this time, Xu Hui was getting together with Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi, Xu Hui whispered with a sad face, Zhao Ben and Zhang Zongyi were frowning and silent, thinking that Xu Hui was asking them for help.

Now that the treasure money has fallen like this, Xu Hui cannot escape the crime of dereliction of responsibility this time.

Li Wei chuckled disdainfully, and then took his eyes off him.

Then he saw an old acquaintance again.

"Hey, sir, are you still there? Aren't you going to resign? ”

Li Wei said with a smile to the Quercus not far away. When the people around heard this, they all looked at Quercus.

He paused slightly, revealing an embarrassed smile: "It's almost time, I'll leave tomorrow!" ”

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but roll their eyes, he had been saying this for more than a year, and as a result, the two waiters in the Ministry of Rites who were waiting for the upper position were boiled to death, and he hadn't left yet. Li Mian, who was once brought by Li Wei to the door to collect debts, was one of them, and he couldn't get the title of Shangshu in the end.

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, tomorrow is so much!" Li Wei teased.

Hearing this, the surrounding Wenchens who were not dealing with Li Wei couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Master Li is right!" He was not angry, and nodded lightly.

Li Wei felt bored, but he didn't say anything more.

After a while, the noon gate opened, and the ministers went to the temple, and after the worship, they began to perform in order.

Li Wei didn't care about anything else, just stared at Xu Hui.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally the turn of the household department, Xu Hui carefully went out of work, and first played the daily affairs of the household department.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened patiently, and when he saw that he seemed to be delaying talking about the treasure money, he couldn't help frowning.

He is not one of those dumb kings, he will only wait for the courtiers to report all day long to know about the affairs of the people, he has his own sources of information, not to mention the depreciation of treasure money, that is, some price changes in the people, he knows a little bit about it.

"How's the money dumping?"

Zhu Yuanzhang directly interrupted Xu Hui's inconsequential trivial affairs and asked about the treasure banknote.

Xu Hui's body trembled slightly, and he said hesitantly: "There are not many new banknotes left in the banknote library, and since the opening of the layman's library, it is even more stretched, but the minister has ordered the banknote paper bureau to speed up the printing of new banknotes for the people to exchange ......."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he didn't mention the key point, and immediately asked impatiently and directly: "We heard that the usual treasure money can't even be exchanged for 200 copper coins recently, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Hui lowered his head and said with a smile: "Yes...... Yes, this is all those small people treacherous, the new banknotes and disgusted with the old banknotes, many of them take the banknotes that can be used to exchange, the line of the library is not allowed, they voluntarily settle at a discount, which causes the depreciation of the treasure banknotes. ”

"We have already responded to what you said, issued an edict and resigned, and all the banknotes printed by the Chinese Book and Household Department are all in one piece, why is this still the case?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown a little impatiently.

Now the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, the roads and bridges in many places are being rebuilt, and production has to be resumed, and there are many places to spend money, so he relies on printing treasure money to support it.

"This ...... It may be that the people are ignorant. ”

Xu Hui was also very puzzled, the imperial court had already explained that as long as the money was not faint, whether it was the old banknotes printed in the province of Zhongshu in the past or the new banknotes of the current household department, but these people just had to change it, and they would rather discount it if they couldn't exchange it.

After much thought, he could only attribute the reason to the ignorance of these civilians.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little irritable after hearing this, although Xu Hui's words were suspected of shirking responsibility, but it is also true that the current people are ignorant.

However, these reasons are not important now, what matters is how to solve the problem now.

"So what now?"

Xu Hui was silent for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty, why don't we also exchange it at a discount?" In this way, the new banknote is clearly distinguished from the old banknote, and the new banknote will not be affected by the depreciation of the old banknote. ”

Li Wei was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, by all means, this kind of practice is to lose trust to the people, and if you continue like this, the treasure money will inevitably become a piece of waste paper!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Hui were slightly shocked when they heard this, Xu Hui was even more annoyed, he also imitated the previous dynasty, the Song and Yuan dynasties did this, how could it be that Li Wei's mouth became dishonest to the people.

"Master Li is not going to talk nonsense, I am also following the old system of the Song and Yuan dynasties! The Song and Yuan dynasties issued banknotes, and they were not reduced to a piece of waste paper as Master Li said! ”

Xu Hui immediately reprimanded angrily. (End of chapter)
