Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said: "I plan not to allow other commercial banks, banks, etc. to issue bank notes. All of these will be collected by Huitong Commercial Bank, and the treasury will be used as a guarantee..."

Fu Tao's eyes widened. If it really happened like this, wouldn't all the money in the world go to Huitong Commercial Bank?

Zhu Xu looked at his expression, smiled and said, "I'll only tell you, don't let me tell you."

Fu Tao's expression froze, and he quickly clasped his hands and said, "Zun..."

Zhu Xu pressed his hand, and said: "Don't be too formal, you have to worry too much these days, when the time comes, Huitong Commercial Bank will become the court's yamen, ranking third rank, with a detached position, it can be considered that I have not treated my brother badly all these years... "

Is this to add a third-rank officer to him?

His father, Minister of the Household Department, was only second grade!

Fu Tao's heart was turbulent. He failed the imperial examination and his official career was hopeless, especially when he became a merchant. He never expected that the emperor would give him such a surprise!

Fu Tao fell to his knees with a plop, and said loudly, "Thank you, Majesty Long En!"

Zhu Xu quickly looked around, and sure enough someone came over, pulled him over and said, "Okay, let's go."

A group of people walked away quickly, avoiding the crowd.

Fu Tao's face was flushed, and his chest heaved violently. Apart from Xie En, he didn't know what to do or say for a while.

Xiao Yongning held two candied haws in his hand, blinked his big eyes, and stared at Zhu Xu and Fu Tao curiously.

Cao Huachun acted as if he didn't hear anything, he bowed and stood not far behind Zhu Xu.

Cao Bianjiao was a little further away, staring at the surrounding vigilantly, and the plainclothes of the imperial guards also quietly mingled in the crowd.

Zhu Xu patted Fu Tao, knowing that he still misses the official status in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, don't be so excited. When I handed it over to you, I thought there would be such a day. You go, Nian Take a good rest, and I will accompany Yongning for a walk."

Fu Tao couldn't contain his excitement, he raised his hand and said, "Yes, then I will take my leave, and the emperor will enjoy you slowly."

Zhu Xu nodded and watched him leave.

Xiao Yongning watched Fu Tao leave, his mouth was flattened, and then he ran forward more happily.

"Uncle, I want to buy lanterns..."

The little girl pulled Zhu Xu's clothes greasy with one hand and yelled loudly.

Zhu Xu took a few copper coins from Cao Huachun, handed them to the little girl and said, "Okay, you can buy it yourself."

The little girl took it and turned to the stall, saying, "I want that rabbit."

The owner of the stall was an old man in his middle age. He handed the lantern with a smile and said, "Little girl, go westward and there is a busy market. There are more and more beautiful lanterns there. It is called the 'sea of ​​lights'..."

The little girl's eyes widened immediately, she turned around and pulled Zhu Xu and said, "Uncle, hurry up..."

Zhu Xu also came out to relax, so he let the little girl drag him away.

After walking a few steps, Cao Bianjiao stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many people ahead, I'm afraid it's not safe..."

Before he could say anything, Xiao Yongning rushed over, pushed Cao Bianjiao away, and hummed, "Go away!" After speaking, he just hugged Zhu Xu's leg, raised his face pitifully, as if he was afraid of him Looked like he ran away.

Zhu Xu smiled, pulled her away and said, "Okay, let's play with you for a while, don't go to crowded places, just watch from a distance."

The little girl was very reluctant, and after weighing it, she agreed. In a blink of an eye, she looked at Cao Bianjiao who was pushed away by her. She hesitated for a while, handed over a candied haws, and said, "Please eat!"

Cao Bianjiao was stunned, hesitantly said: "Princess Xie, I don't need it."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "She apologized to you, take it."

Cao Bianjiao was stunned again, looked at Xiao Yongning's big innocent eyes, took a step forward and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Xiao Yongning giggled and said, "Uncle Huang, let's go quickly, the empress dowager will be in trouble if she finds out..."

"What's the empress dowager, called the empress mother..." Zhu Xu said angrily, being dragged away by her.

The little girl didn't care, she took Zhu Xu to a trot, and soon came to a more lively place.

The sky is about to turn , gulls, nightmares, and reefs.

The little girl went out of the palace very rarely, and she always came out with Zhu Xu, and each time it took a long time, so she was unusually fresh. She opened her eyes wide and looked around, feeling extremely excited.

Zhu Xu was walking with his hands behind his back, and he was also watching slowly.

The capital may be worse than Jiangnan, but we can also make a rough comparison and speculate on the quality of Jiangnan.

It is often said that Nanzhili alone has gathered half of the wealth of Ming Dynasty, but the appearance of the capital is not 01:30.

Recently, there have been many proposals to move the capital back to Nanjing. The reason is that firstly, the threat from the north is basically eliminated, and there is no need for the "Tianzi Yuguomen", and secondly, the climate in the north is cold and dry, which is far less warm and comfortable than Nanjing.

Zhu Xu walked step by step, shaking his head secretly, if the capital was really moved to the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial court might be corrupted.

"Huang... Uncle, where is this place? It's so lively..." Suddenly, the little girl stopped and asked, pointing to a three-story building not far away.

Zhu Xu looked up, and saw the big words "Yicuilou", and the girl in front of the door was wearing beautiful clothes even in winter, soliciting guests in front of the door.

There is also a middle-aged man leading several young men who look like scholars, standing in front of the door, as if bargaining.

Zhu Xu frowned, he really wanted to step forward and ask: Is this a group?which unit?

Zhu Xu hurriedly pulled Xiao Yongning over and said, "Only on the street, not in other places."

The little girl pursed her lips, turned her eyes to other places, yelled non-stop, and bought some food and play to show off from time to time.

Zhu Xu stood there, staring at the little girl, and asked Cao Huachun in a low voice: "Now there are so many officials and scholars visiting brothels?"

Cao Huachun glanced at it, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, scholars who are seeking reinstatement in the capital and fail to enter the academy, some clans, nobles and nobles like to go in and out of brothels."

Zhu Xu frowned, and said, "Are there many people like this in the capital?"

Cao Huachun was silent for a while, and said, "More than before."

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, but he actually helped these people?

Turning his head, seeing that most of the people coming in and out were scholars, Zhu Xu couldn't help shaking his head. Sometimes, it's really hard to tell whether it's books that harm people or people who destroy books.

"The book of sages, it really can justify itself at any time." He said.

This is still the capital, and there are more deposed people in the south of the Yangtze River. The Qinhuai River, which is already prosperous, and the ten-mile brothel, are afraid that it will be several times more lively.

Cao Huachun didn't say anything, the court only stipulated officials and scholars, and there was nothing to do with these "official" people.

Xiao Yongning had a good time playing, lingering in front of each stall.

Zhu Xu and the others stared at her, fearing that she would accidentally get lost, so they had no choice but to follow her as she walked forward.
