Chapter 255: I Seem to Have Said I'm Going to Have a Treat?
Li Wei pursed his lips secretly and arched his hand: "It's all up to Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he was not so angry that he jumped high and quarreled with him as before, and he couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, and then put away his smile and said:
"It's not impossible to give you the title of king, but it is definitely not now, although you have merit in saving Queen Ma, but this is only a private matter of the royal family after all, if we give you the title of king because of this, we will definitely not be able to convince the public." But don't worry, as long as you work hard in the future and build all the things we want, this king will definitely be indispensable to you at that time! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang cut and beat him continuously, postponed the matter of sealing the king, and turned it into a big cake that could not be seen and eaten.
Li Wei rolled his eyes, this is the same as the previous dog boss's year-end bonus, there is yes, but he can't get it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Wei didn't say anything more, in fact, he didn't have much hope for this matter, after all, the king is different from other titles, no matter how noble other princes and uncles are, they are only ministers, but the prince is different, when facing the emperor, the king is a minister, and when facing the courtiers, the king is the king, which is of unusual significance.
"But you don't have to be disappointed, this time you saved our sister, we will definitely reward you, it just so happens that you have made a lot of contributions in Yunnan this time, it is more than enough to give you a marquis, and when the army comes back, we will give you a seal together!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is also an empty pie, and he will not be stingy with the reward, except for the marquis, there will be no shortage of other things.
"Your Majesty, the minister will retire first!" Li Wei thanked him again.
Zhu Yuanzhang bowed slightly: "Well, let's go." ”
Li Wei withdrew from the main hall, went to the harem and called Anqing, and left the palace together.
It has been more than half a year since he went to Yunnan, and after returning to Beijing, he was directly brought into the palace, busy treating Queen Ma, and he didn't have time to warm up with Xiaoqing.
With the little daughter-in-law Anqing and some guards, the two hurriedly returned to the Horse Mansion, and the subordinates who got the news from the house went out to greet each other.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, meet the Princess!"
The people bowed in unison.
Li Wei raised his hand gently: "Get up, your own family doesn't need to be so polite." ”
Xiaoqing Xiaocui and the others didn't think much about it, so they got up as they said, but Xiaohong and the other female officials who came with the princess raised their heads slightly and looked at An Qing, who didn't take it seriously when they followed Li Wei.
Seeing this, Li Wei frowned slightly, and felt that it was necessary to clarify the family throne, so he deliberately raised his hand and patted An Qing's little head, and said in a commanding tone: "Anqing is obedient, let them get up!" ”
An Qing didn't think much about it, and said to Xiaohong and the others like a microphone: "Li Wei asked you to get up, and you will get up!" ”
"Yes!"
Xiaohong and the others felt a slight pang in their hearts, and hurriedly said yes.
After An Qing finished speaking, he took his arm and said affectionately: "Let's go home quickly!" ”
Li Wei nodded lightly, and the two were about to step inside, but when they passed by Xiaoqing's side, An Qing suddenly stopped.
"Who are you?"
An Qing's little face vigilantly pointed at the extra Duan Yu beside Xiaoqing and asked.
Duan Yu didn't take the liberty of answering, but set her eyes on Li Wei.
"Ugh." Li Wei paused, and said casually: "This is the female guard I found for you." ”
"Really?"
An Qinghu looked back and forth between him and Duan Yu suspiciously.
There was already a Xiaoqing in the house, she reluctantly accepted it, and now there were suspicious people, which suddenly made her feel a little unhappy.
"Since it's the female guard I found, then you can stay with me in the future and don't leave!"
An Qing said crisply, she decided to be the same as Xiaoqing, keep people in her sight, and not give Li Wei a chance to learn idioms!
It's just that what she doesn't know is that Li Wei can always find an opportunity to complete the task under her nose.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess."
Duan Yu saluted respectfully, she didn't have an opinion on this, but she was quite happy.
An Qing nodded, and then entered the house with Li Wei, and Xiaoqing, Xiaohong and others also followed.
As the so-called Xiao Biesheng was newly married, Li Wei took advantage of Anqing's sleep that night to pull Xiaoqing out and find a place to study literary knowledge deeply.
It's just that now Duan Yu is also with the little princess, he pulled Xiaoqing out of the house, naturally he couldn't hide from Duan Yu, and after Duan Yu quietly followed and learned what the two of them were doing, his little face turned red with shame, and he even scolded the lewd thief and hypocrite!
After a day of rest at home, Li Wei got busy again.
Half a year after he left Beijing, the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce, the bank, as well as the head of the department and the Ministry of Industry have undergone great changes.
Now that the Ming Dynasty was founded, each yamen has not yet been customized, and often increases and decreases, just like he has created a new head department, and other ministries are constantly increasing their subordinate yamen.
He didn't care about the other ministries, and only focused on doing his own thing.
The Minghuang Chamber of Commerce has now expanded to the surrounding areas of Ying Tianfu, because of the royal signboard, coupled with his unique new products, it is not difficult to do, anyway, the Chamber of Commerce is not short of money, even if it encounters a competitor like Shen Bin, it seems that it is not afraid.
As for the bank, it has now been divided separately, and Shen Jing is still in charge, although it is the same as the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce in terms of equity, but it is independent of each other.
Now the treasure banknotes in the Beijing division have been basically exchanged, in addition to the pressure of pouring money, the head of the department also took the opportunity to print a large amount of money, the acquisition of a huge amount of gold and silver storage, with the new treasure banknotes issued more and more, those merchants have gradually come back to taste, no longer panic as if a large number of gold and silver into treasure banknotes, the price of gold and silver will gradually stabilize.
However, due to the fact that banks are now all over the surrounding provinces, and the summary business has been launched, these businessmen have actively exchanged a large amount of property into treasure banknotes after trying the convenience of aggregation, so that the transaction is convenient and can eat interest.
Of course, banks do not suffer losses, although in order to cooperate with the issuance of bonds by the Ministry of Households, the interest rate difference between deposits and loans is still around 5%.
Li Wei first learned about the bank's affairs with Shen Jing, and told him that he must strictly examine the loan qualifications and put an end to bad debts and bad debts, and then went to the Ordnance Bureau.
Now that Yunnan has not completely calmed down, he handed over the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to Mu Ying to lead when he left, and the combat strength of the Shenji Battalion is heavily dependent on firearms, and he has to supervise the delivery of some more ammunition.
After dealing with these things, he returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, first called Jiang Shouqing, Guan Ziming and others over to learn about their situation, and then sent someone to the head of the department next door to call Wang Jie and Shen Jue and others over.
Since there is only one Minghuang Bank of Li Wei in Daming now, and most of the affairs are personally ordered by him, Wang Jie and others, who are now in charge of the bank, do not have much to do, but if there are other banks in the future, then they will have to be busy.
Seeing Wang Jie coming in, Li Wei's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly remembered something:
"I think I said I'm going to have a treat?"
Send these first, and then a little more in the afternoon.
