Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 435
When Zhu Su and Zhu Yan were going to the imperial city, Lao Zhu was talking with Zhu Biao and Queen Ma in the harem.

"Father, according to your instructions, my son has checked the history books these days. In the early Yuan Dynasty, he did encounter a situation where the treasury was insufficient."

Zhu Biao said to Lao Zhu, beside them, Empress Ma was holding the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, listening quietly.

"It is indeed as Han Hangong said, after the banknotes are issued, Yuanting's difficulties at that time will be easily resolved. If I, Daming, also issue precious banknotes, I think I can indeed use this to tide over this difficulty."

"It's just..." Zhu Biao hesitated to speak.

"Just what, let's talk about it." Old Zhu swallowed a piece of pastry whole, encouraging Zhu Biao.

"Yes." Zhu Biao nodded, and then showed a tangled look. "It's too natural, and my son thinks it's a little weird."

"As for what's weird, I can't tell."

Old Zhu paused for a moment with his hand holding the pastry, and looked at Zhu Biao with a look of joy in his eyes. "Our standard has grown, and we know we have doubts!"

"Okay, okay. It's good to know that you have doubts. There must be something wrong with Kai Ziguan'er's good intentions."

"We hesitated for so long because we suspected that they had dug some kind of hole for us. But after a while, we haven't figured it out yet."

"However, I don't care about these anymore." Old Zhu slapped the table. "A few days ago, Ying'er asked us if we could start tinkering with new firearms."

"The shipbuilding department of the Maritime Affairs Department also needs money. As long as we build a big ship and go to get the god seed that can produce a thousand catties per mu overseas, we will have no worries."

"Now Daming is ready to go. As long as he has enough money and food, he can fly into the sky. Even if there are any plots and tricks, let him come! We will follow up and settle them one by one!"

"Let the common people have enough food and clothing first, and make Daming strong, which is much more important than anything else."

"Chongba, you still have to think about it carefully." Empress Ma who had been listening quietly said. "The Korean public is too enthusiastic about this matter."

"Although he is capable, he is not easy...and this treasure..."

"How about you call Mr. Liu back and ask him?"

"Mr. Liu and Mr. Song are very happy now. We called him before, but he refused because he was not economical." Old Zhu replied.

"Mr. Li has a lot of eyes. He is so enthusiastic. I'm afraid he wants to show his eyes in front of us so that he can get out of his apprentice's affairs." Old Zhu guessed. "Now is the time for employing people. Even if he has some plans of his own, we plan to cover our eyes first and pretend that we can't see."

"After all, there is no one who can use those big headscarves in the court. To issue precious banknotes, you have to use old people like Mr. Li."

Queen Ma frowned, she was always on guard against Li Shanchang.Compared with Liu Bowen, who is cautious and cautious, this Mr. Li has been very fond of power since the beginning of his family business in the past.

With the power of dispatching in the rear, he used a wide range of means to win almost all the civilian officials under Lao Zhu's command at that time.These people later became the Huaixi Party that called the wind and rain above the court. At that time, all the officials of the Huaixi Party could be said to have come from Li Shanchang's family.

Later Li Shanchang became an official, and the position of prime minister was handed over to his disciple Hu Weiyong.Although Li Shanchang publicly opposed Hu Weiyong's taking over as prime minister at the time, Mrs. Ma always felt that this was just a means used by this Mr. Li in order not to arouse Lao Zhu's suspicion.

Without evidence, it's a woman's instinct to ask.

However, as a generation of virtuous queens who know the general, Ma will not attack the high officials of the court to her husband because of unwarranted guesses.If her husband chooses to trust, she won't say much.And he also knew that with his husband's ability, he would definitely guard against this Korean male.

This emperor who climbed up from the bottom is not an ordinary person.This is what Mashi has full confidence in.Moreover, Li Shanchang's ending in history has already been revealed.

"Because of the Hu Weiyong case, family." This is enough to show that this former prime minister who likes to play tricks is not his husband's opponent at all.

"Chongba, even if I don't worry about Mr. Han, I still feel that there is something wrong with that precious note." Empress Ma thought about it before reminding her. "Printing a piece of paper becomes money... This money comes too easily."

"Why don't you ask Lao Wu, he has a lot of experience and knowledge, maybe he can know something."

"Yes. It's time to ask." Old Zhu said.

In fact, he originally wanted to figure it out by himself to understand the pros and cons of this method.After all, as a father and emperor, he also has his own dignity.Previously, his various policies were criticized to pieces, which also made Lao Zhu feel a little competitive.

Whenever something happens, I ask my son, what is it like?
But the distance is like a mountain, even though Lao Zhu is very talented, he can't think of the disadvantages of this method for a while.

Moreover, the court can change money by printing paper, which is too tempting. As long as it doesn't issue excessive banknotes like Zhizheng banknotes, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.In fact, in his heart, he was already inclined to set up a banknote lifting department.

No matter how rotten our Daming's banknotes are, can they still be more rotten than Dayuan's banknotes?Dayuan's banknote method has worked well for decades.

Speaking of Zhu Su, Old Zhu remembered something, and couldn't help complaining: "The fifth boy, I don't know what to do with the third boy these days. We have announced him several times, but there is no sign of him."

As he was talking, he saw Zhu Yan and Zhu Su coming hand in hand under the leadership of a servant.Seeing this, Old Zhu couldn't help laughing: "This kid can't bear to talk about it, and if he talks about it, he will come here!"

"My son, Zhu Yan (Zhu Su), has seen his father, queen mother, and prince." Zhu Yan and Zhu Su saluted.

"Family, why are you so divided!" Empress Ma complained to the two of them, and seeing the faces of the two sons, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "What are you two doing? Why do you look so dusty?"

The two were taken aback, looked at each other, and couldn't help smiling.It turned out that just now they were in a hurry to enter the palace to play an official role, and the two of them galloped along the way, and their faces were accidentally covered with dust.

"By the way, father, my son has something to play!" Wiping off the dust on his face, Zhu turned excitedly to Lao Zhu, and told about his success in training steel.

……

"You mean, we will be able to produce countless steel materials in the future?" Lao Zhu stood up in surprise and laughed.

"Good, good! God bless us Daming! With good steel, we will have a three-point chance of winning by destroying Beiyuan and opening up territories!"

"Third and fifth, good job!"

"The weight of iron is involved in all aspects." Zhu Biao also looked excited.After all, steel is different from firearms and shipbuilding. Firearms need to be researched and developed periodically, and navy also needs time to manufacture ships and train soldiers.However, steel can be immediately forged into armored weapons, allowing Da Ming's combat power to immediately step up several steps.

"Father, my son thinks that the Ministry of Industry should immediately try to forge weapons with new types of steel. If it is suitable, the Ministry of Industry should immediately popularize blast furnace steelmaking." Zhu Biao said. "Start steelmaking as soon as possible, and the soldiers in northern Xinjiang will be able to use new weapons as soon as possible."

"We know. This is a big deal, and it will be faster every day." Lao Zhu nodded. "It just so happens that the fifth child is also here."

"We're going to build a treasure banknote lifting department to issue treasure banknotes for Daming...Boss, tell me about the so-called banknote law..."

"Baochao?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Su's brows were already furrowed when he heard the word "Baochao" before he finished his order.

Lao Zhu's heart skipped a beat, no way, what we decided after deliberating for so long is another evil policy?
　Oops, I forgot to add the title, and I can't change it...
