Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhang Bofu still didn't realize it, he still had a loyal appearance, and he was categorical.

"Your Majesty, I don't have a single false word. Zhu Tao has not yet become a climate. If he is allowed to continue to incite the people, build weapons, and hoard food and grass, if he causes some trouble in the hinterland of the capital, he will have to deal with it." late."

This can be regarded as completely ruining Zhang Bofu's own life. Zhu Yuanzhang was angry at first, but he didn't intend to execute him, but this addition added fuel to the fire.

Anyone who has trouble with Zhu Tao is tantamount to having trouble with Zhu Yuanzhang himself, so Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking and gave orders directly.

"Such barkers, slanderous talk and political disorder are really unforgivable crimes. The Jin Yiwei pushed them out of the Meridian Gate, and the [-]th imperial staff peeled the bark and grass, and exiled the three clans at the same time, so as to scare others."

Mr. Zhang, who had come to sue at first, felt like falling into the fog after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Zhang Bofu really didn't know how he, the prince's in-law, was dealt with in such a muddled way. Could it be that Zhu Tao is some kind of big shot?
After he realized it, he realized that he was going to die and his clansmen would be exiled. He collapsed on the ground in an instant, unable to utter a word, and was dragged out by Jin Yiwei like a dead dog.

After the person was dragged out, Zhu Yuanzhang was still furious. He stared at the three chief assistants and the six chief ministers in front of him, and gritted his teeth word by word.

"Let me tell you one more thing, no matter who you are, you must restrain your subordinates and don't mess with Tao'er. If anyone goes to Zhujiazhuang to make trouble, this Zhang Bofu will be the fate and role model!"

None of the important ministers present knew how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang was, the Emperor Hongwu who could set up a prison if he disagreed with him, how could anyone dare to refute, besides, this Zhang Bofu was indeed to blame, no one dared to intervene.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang revealed the relationship between Zhu Tao and himself to the Six Departments and Jiuqing last time, these Shangshutang officials basically regarded Zhu Tao as the prince. This Zhang Bofu is looking for death, and no one can save him.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the subject and said to everyone: "Okay, I won't mention this matter, let's stop here. Let's discuss another matter with you today. Daming's cash is in short supply. The ministry and the cabinet will discuss to issue treasure notes as soon as possible to relieve the imperial court's urgent needs."

This is also a helpless move. There is indeed not much cash stored in the imperial household department and local vassal treasuries. The only way to issue treasure notes is to use the authority of the court to determine the value of treasure notes. As for the amount of treasure notes, That is how much is written.

The efficiency of the household department is still quite high, and soon these adjustment regulations have been formulated, and the treasure banknotes can be issued on a large scale.

This solved the problem to a certain extent, and postponed the imperial court's urgent need for cash shortage.

This day, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Biao to Zhu Tao's Zhuangzi.

Because Zhu Biao kept mentioning that the big plate chicken made by his cousin was very delicious, and he had to let his father taste it.

Seeing his father's index finger twitching, Zhu Tao also felt a little funny, he was already the Duke of the country, and he was still thinking about his food.

He cooked a table of dishes himself, and everyone sat together to eat and chat.

When mentioning that Zhang Bofu who came to blackmail some time ago, Zhu Tao was a little puzzled.

"I was thinking of finding an excuse to punish him, but I didn't expect that this kid seemed to have been punished by the court before I could do anything."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think about what to say on this topic, so he echoed.

"This is also because he will kill himself for many unrighteous actions. He will do evil because he is the prince's in-laws. Even if the court doesn't care about it, God will accept him!"

These words were very encouraging, Zhu Tao glanced at his father and saw the murderous look in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, how could he look like a businessman?
It's right to think about it, although the old man is now a noble, but he is also the Duke of Fuguo in the imperial court, and he can participate in the affairs of the court from time to time, so this aura is naturally brought out.

Suddenly Zhu Tao thought of a question, and he said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, my son heard that the imperial court is short of cash, so they have issued a large amount of precious banknotes to replace cash for transactions. Do you also have treasure banknotes in your hand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback when he heard this, and then replied: "Father's business is very big, so naturally the treasures in my hands are rare. Besides, I am also the Duke of Fuguo of the imperial court. I have to support the imperial court's issuance of treasured banknotes. Now I have There is no cash in it, and it has all been exchanged for treasure notes."

Hearing this, Zhu Tao sighed helplessly and said: "I didn't tell you this sentence, so you are so confused, treasure banknotes are banknotes in the final analysis, if there is no cash reserve as the background, it is only banknotes." There is no way to rely on state power for long, and sooner or later it will be inflated and then devalued to nothing.”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand what he meant by inflation, he also knew the harm in it. Real gold and silver are money, and precious banknotes are just paper. If it goes on for a long time, it really can't be suppressed.

However, since Tao'er, a monstrous genius, can think of this level, there must be a solution, so Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some concern.

"There is no way around this. The court strictly ordered the exchange. If you don't follow the law, it's not just a matter of losing money. Regarding the lack of cash in the treasury, is there any way Tao'er can do it?"

Zhu Tao thought for a while, and said casually: "Father, the solution to this is actually very simple. Isn't the treasury running out of money now? As long as the treasury has silver, it is equivalent to adding confidence to the treasure. Treasures are really valuable.”

For a long time, Zhu Biao felt that what Zhu Tao said was very reasonable, but what he said today had a taste of "why not eat minced meat". Isn't this nonsense?
Therefore, Zhu Biao rushed ahead of Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Cousin, you are joking. You said just now that the imperial court does not have enough cash. Where can you get the money now?"

Zhu Tao was somewhat disapproving, and he replied: "Cousin, if you don't ask me, how do you know that I don't know where there is money?"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up. This is really a treasure son. In addition to various abilities, he also has the ability to conjure money.

"Tao'er, tell me quickly!"

Zhu Tao casually took out a map of Ming Dynasty, picked up a pen to circle a few locations, and then said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, you can go to the imperial court. The output of silver mines in these places is very rich. Let the imperial court send out The survey team will go to check it first and then we will know."
