Prince Zhu Biao and Zhu Tao had a very good personal relationship, so at this moment he stood up bravely.

"Uncle, what brother Tao said is just about the possible consequences of not paying attention to business. My nephew feels that these evil consequences that brother Tao said have to be guarded against. The court must come up with a strategy, and must not make those ministers guard their money. , Forgot about propriety, righteousness and shame.”

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, and felt that his words were not unreasonable.

"Tao'er, what do you think should be done? Could it be that the imperial court enacts another law, that anyone who dares to start a business should be stripped of his bark?"

After hearing this, Zhu Tao couldn't help feeling chills all over his body.

My father is worthy of being a loyal royalist, and even his way of thinking is similar to that of the emperor's old son.

So he said with a smile: "In fact, the imperial court can set up some royal banks in various places, and control the currency department of the whole country in the imperial court's hands."

"How to control it?"

"First, the imperial court can no longer use silver as the monetary unit, but gold. The value of any metal must be converted into the value of gold for conversion. The imperial court's monetary unit becomes the gold standard system. The gold coin is the legal currency of the Ming Dynasty, and the silver coin is copper coin. assistant.

Second, the imperial court strictly controls non-ferrous metals. They must be stored in a treasury designated by the imperial court. As for the metal coins of ministers and common people, they cannot exceed a certain upper limit. Once this limit is exceeded, they must be deposited in a bank designated by the imperial court. , while the folks trade with paper bank notes.

Third, ask all clan officials in the Ming Dynasty to declare their property. If the money exceeds their salary, their source of income must be investigated. "

Every time Zhu Tao said something, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly there, thinking to himself, even though Tao'er is still young and doesn't know how to be an official, he just played with it, and with a single idea, he grasped the lifeblood of all civil and military officials. into our hands.

What kind of bank is this, it is indeed a good idea.

At this moment, Old Tang came to the banquet in a hurry and said eagerly.

"Master, young master, something is wrong. Many people came from outside the Zhuangzi, and they yelled at our Zhuangzi, saying that we set up a private court and arrested everyone who passed by this Zhuangzi without being tried by the government!"

Hearing this, Zhu Tao was furious, and took Old Tang and Zhuang Ding outside, thinking that some kind of thugs had come, but when he saw the faces of these people clearly, he couldn't help shaking his head.

It turned out that it wasn't a tough bandit like Wang Tiechui, but a group of scholars. These people couldn't eat a few buns a day, and everyone looked disheveled, but they didn't want to be outdone when they scolded others.

Each one was impassioned, and the words spoken were brilliant.

According to them, Zhu Tao has become a local tyrant, bullying men and women, committing all kinds of crimes, catching outside dealers, and forcing them to work, almost treating himself as a government.

Hearing these people's crusade, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching from behind, frowned, and then looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself, you spoil Zhu Tao so much, how dare I offend him, I didn't find these people.

Suddenly I heard a handsome scholar, his voice was a little shrill, but his words were sharp, and every sentence pointed to the vital point.

He told Zhu Tao to release all the people detained that day back immediately, otherwise his evil deeds would be made into a ballad, and everyone from all over the world would know about his crimes.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized: "Ya'er, it's this little girl!"

It turned out that this scholar was a woman disguised as a man, a genuine woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a surname of Xu and a name of Ya, and a small character of Jing'er.

She is the youngest daughter of Xu Da and Mrs. Xie, but she is different from his older sisters.

She lacks some demure and elegant temperament in her life, she is eccentric, and likes to study some strange things the most. The servants at home call her "female military adviser".

Mrs. Xie couldn't see Xu Zengshou these days, so she cried to her husband Xu Da, but was reprimanded by Xu Da.

"What do women and Taoists know? That kid didn't cause disasters on the earth, but only caused disasters in the sky. He ran into the prince's hands and almost cheated me. Shouldn't he be taught a lesson!"

Xu Ya heard the quarrel between the husband and wife.

This Zhu Tao is really bold, first he speculated that his brother-in-law King Yan was going to rebel, and now he dared to risk the world's displeasure by detaining the third son of Duke Wei's mansion privately!
Even our Wei Guogong doesn't pay attention to it. Does this kid have eyes in Tianlinggai? We must teach him a lesson when he finds an opportunity.

Unexpectedly, just recently, Zhu Tao, who is both potatoes and cotton, really showed his big face once.

Although the other ministers didn't know these things, how could Xu Da not know?Naturally, I told Mrs. Xie everything I knew.

Mrs. Xie liked to chatter again, so she told her little daughter Xu Ya about it.

When Xu Ya heard this, she was immediately unhappy: "Are there any stinky men in the world who are smarter than me? I don't believe that, I must compare with him, and I must destroy his spirit."

Although Mrs. Xie loves to chatter, she is still afraid of causing trouble to her husband: "Girl, don't mess around, or be careful when your father comes back to punish you. You must know that your father's rules are very strict."

Xu Ya curled her lips.

"Do you think my third brother and I are so stupid? Bring a few idiots to make trouble, but I will bring one in a hundred talents. He is not known for his outstanding talent, so we suppress him in terms of talent. So that I can show my father and third brother such bad breath!"

This girl took advantage of her older brothers' connections to organize a group of so-called young talents, all of whom claimed to have their own unique skills, so everyone came together outside Zhu Tao's manor.

This operation really aroused Zhu Tao. Hearing Xu Ya scolding him for his false reputation, Zhu Tao wanted to challenge himself. If he lost, he would give up this Zhuangzi.

He was also angry, so he said.

"Okay, how do you want to challenge, even if you draw the Tao, as long as I lose for a while, this Zhuangzi and everyone in Zhuangzi will belong to you, but what if you lose?"

Xu Ya also has a stubborn temper, so she naturally refused to show weakness, so she said.

"It's very simple. If I lose, I will be your servant and servant. As long as I see you coming, I will kneel in front of you and kowtow to you as master."

Zhu Tao nodded and said with a smile, "Since you want to gamble, I'll convince you to lose. You should ask the question first, lest people think I'm bullying you."

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son had heard of Xu Ya's reputation. Since they recognized this eccentric little girl, they also became interested in sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so they didn't tell the truth and just watched the battle from the sidelines.

At this time, a person dressed as a Taoist came out from Xu Ya's side, and he heard him revealing his family name: "I am the number one in the world, and I am invincible, so let me solve the first question!"

Seeing him flirting with a feather fan in his hand, Zhu Tao was very upset, and said very depressed: "You talk too much, let's get to the point."

Even though he is invincible, he has a certain amount of talent and learning. He suddenly saw some chickens and rabbits brought over from the side, counted them silently, and suddenly pointed to those chickens and rabbits.

"There is a question, pheasant and rabbit 49, walking on the ground with one hundred legs, please close your eyes and think carefully, can you know the number of chickens and rabbits?"
