Domineering Daming

The water in Nanzhili has always been deep, how many times it has been cleaned, and a "Master Wang" has emerged. I don't know how many "Master Li" and "Master Zhao" are still hidden.

There were also some other briefings, which seemed ridiculous to Zhu Xu. Nanzhili was still the same Nanzhili, indulging in the luxury of the heyday, unable to extricate himself from it, and there was no sign of change at all.Even the governor's yamen promoted by him has become dispensable, and he even urgently wants to integrate instead of seeking innovation.

Zhu Xu walked slowly along the path around the restaurant, the bustling Qinhuai River was the busiest, maybe because of Fang Kongzhang's ban, it was already night, it was still empty, there were not many lights and people.

Zhu Xu paced around slowly, thinking about how to deal with Jiangsu.

Shandong is relatively easy to deal with, but Jiangsu is complex, with a large area and a large population, and the most developed economy. One salt government talks about Yangzhou's turmoil, and other places such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yingtian are also non-stop, let alone The overall reform has been made.

Naturally, Southern Zhili cannot do things like Northern Zhili, but Northern Zhili is a benchmark. When the capital is safe and has accumulated enough experience, it must be promoted. At present, what Southern Zhili needs to do is to reform as much as possible , to reduce future resistance.

"What should I do..." Zhu Xu looked up at the sky and said to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The so-called "revolution is not a dinner party", he has experienced it deeply at this moment.

Zhu Xu quickly turned back and walked into the restaurant without disturbing anyone. He was about to go back to his room. He hadn't written his "travel notes" for today.

As soon as Zhu Xu reached the second floor, he saw a woman standing at the door.

Wearing a red dress, with her head slightly lowered, her legs bent, her waist is slender, her breasts are tall, her face is pretty and her eyes are pretty, and she can feel a seductive aura from a distance.

Zhu Xu's eyes moved slightly, he walked over, took a look, and said, "Hai Lanzhu?"

Hai Lanzhu bent slightly again, and said softly: "I am Hai Lanzhu, see the emperor."

Zhu Xu's lower abdomen suddenly felt hot, he pushed open the door, and put his other hand on Hai Lanzhu's slender waist.

Hai Lanzhu exclaimed, followed by a "bang" sound of closing the door.

The guard not far away glanced at him, stood up quickly, and turned his head to look forward.

The Qinhuai River flows slowly, and under the moonlight, a white light flashes like a fish jumping, and then disappears in an instant, and the lake returns to calm.

The small restaurant is not big, Zhu Xu's every move is watched by someone, Cao Huachun, Cao Bianjiao, Bumbutai all know about it in a short time.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief, but each had their own thoughts.

In the room, Zhu Xu held Hai Lanzhu, whose pretty face was still flushing, with one arm, and his other hand was empty. Feeling unaccustomed, he smacked his lips, looked at Hai Lanzhu, whose profile was pressed against his chest, and smiled. Said: "Did that sister of yours ask you to use beauty tricks?"

Hai Lanzhu put one hand on Zhu Xu's chest, the panic these days dissipated, and she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

The man beside her is the most powerful person in the world, no one is stronger than him!

Hai Lanzhu raised her face, her pretty face turned even redder, and she breathed out, "It's the concubine who wants to serve the emperor."

Zhu Xu could feel Hai Lanzhu's heartbeat, and he was telling the truth. He smiled more, hugged her tightly and said, "You are my chosen servant and my woman. With me here, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Hai Lanzhu's side face rubbed against Zhu Xu's chest, and she gave a soft "hmm".

After this, Zhu Xu felt comfortable all over, and all the fatigue from the journey was gone.

Hai Lanzhu was just an ordinary woman, Zhu Xu didn't talk to her much, while hugging her, he picked up the playbook and read it, chatting with Hai Lanzhu occasionally.

It was not until half an hour later that Cao Bianjiao came to invite Zhu Xu to have a meal.

Zhu Xu patted Hai Lanzhu's butt, and the two of them got dressed before going downstairs.

On the dining table, Zhu Xu was flanked by Hailanzhu and Bumbutai. Hailanzhu was pear blossoms with rain, and she was charming and charming. Bumbutai's expression gradually eased, and he still looked cold.

Zhu Xu had a big appetite, and while eating, he muttered: "Cao Huachun, tell Lao Cao to pick up Fang Kongzhang tomorrow and send him to the governor's office in person, then stop Huang Liji's post and take care of him. Don't move yet."

Cao Huachun bowed and said, "Observe the order."

Zhu Xu ate a few pieces of meat, drank the soup again, and said, "Where is Qian Qianyi... don't reveal it for now, I want to look again. By the way, find out the list of who enters and exits the brothel, and give money to me when I have time." Qianyi sent it."

This list is only in Beijing and Jiangsu, but there are nearly a thousand people on the record, all of whom are scholars who will take the imperial examination this year or in the past few years. If we really have to strictly implement it, I am afraid that the world will be turned upside down.

Cao Huachun understood clearly in his heart, and said, "Yes."

Bumbutai eats carefully, Hailanzhu is more open, with a smile on his face all the time, he seems happier than in Beijing.

Holding the job bowl in his hand, Zhu Xu secretly expected that if Fang Kongzheng could really make some achievements, he would be able to make a move!

Chapter 674

Someone warmed the quilt, and could hug someone to sleep at night, so Zhu Xu was naturally happy.

But in the middle of the night, Zhu Xu's door was still knocked open.

Zhu Xu lit the lamp and looked at the template laid out on the table—no, a sample of the new currency.

This is the sample of designed copper coins, silver dollars and banknotes of the Royal Bank established by Fu Tao.

A copper coin, with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside, with four big characters "Jingzheng Tongbao", seems to be all copper coins, but in fact there is a strand of silver thread inside the circle, which is used to prevent counterfeiting.

Two silver coins, the same size as copper coins, are solid, with Zhu Xu's head printed on them, and on the back are the three gentlemen of plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which are one and five coins respectively.

Finally, there are three paper tickets, that is, silver tickets, each with Zhu Xu's head and the huge Forbidden City in front, and the towering Mount Tai, the Great Wall, and the vast ocean in the background.They are one qian, five qian, and one tael.

That is to say, the new version of bank notes, the bank notes of the entire Daming, will only have a maximum denomination of one tael!

Zhu Xu looked at it carefully, especially under the lamp, it was very clearly illuminated.

This one is more delicate than he expected, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Not bad, it seems that Li Yizao and the others really put their heart into it..."

The design of this coin was presided over by some people in the Royal Political Council, such as Li Yizao and others. They had a broad mind and had many exchanges with missionaries such as Tang Ruowang. They were well-informed and surpassed many people in terms of foresight.

Hai Lanzhu was wearing a thin unlined garment, and sat beside Zhu Xu with a protruding front and back, turned on the lamp for him, looked at Zhu Xu with a rather focused expression, pursed her mouth, and her eyes were shining.

Zhu Xu looked at it carefully for a while, nodded in satisfaction, and picked up Fu Tao's playbook again.

Fu Tao wrote a lot in the memorial, including that the cabinet wanted to take away the right to issue coins, as well as the gold and silver reserves of the Royal Bank.

Zhu Xu frowned, not only did Fu Tao disagree, he would also object.The power of the cabinet must be controlled, and they must not be given the opportunity to restrain him, and if the royal bank falls into the hands of the cabinet, Zhu Xu's right to speak will be greatly weakened.

The predecessor of the Royal Bank was Huitong Commercial Bank. Huitong Commercial Bank was a bank in the early stage, with a large amount of silver and gold deposits.The name of Huitong Commercial Bank was left to Wei Liangqing and others. As the headquarters of the "Hui prefix" chamber of commerce, the main body was renamed Royal Bank. It was the largest bank in Ming Dynasty and had absolute legal, policy, administrative and commercial authority status.

The cabinet didn't want to take away the Royal Bank completely, obviously because they were concerned about Zhu Xu's attitude. The reason why they told Fu Tao directly was because they wanted to test it out first - the bureaucracy of Ming Dynasty always hoped that the emperor would rule by doing nothing.

The Royal Bank is Zhu Xu's money bag. It is his control of the government and a major weapon of the army. It will never be handed over to others!

After reading these, Fu Tao also mentioned some opinions, such as fixing the ratio of copper coins to silver and silver to gold, and exchanging fixed amounts; Replacement of gold, silver, copper coins, etc.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly. Fu Tao was becoming more and more mature, and he was worthy of great responsibility.

He made a few comments on the playbook, then closed it, leaned on the chair, and meditated.

Based on the silver deposits of the Royal Bank, plus the cleansing of Beizhili and the tribute from Bumbutai, the current silver of the Royal Bank is estimated to be 5000 million taels, and he can transfer at least 8000 million taels, plus Last year's taxes, deposits, and cash available to Zhu Xu were close to [-] million!
