The imperial court announced an imperial edict that shocked everyone.

That is to say, from August 16 onwards, the Ming court will no longer issue treasure banknotes. All banknotes marked with the year after this year are all counterfeit banknotes.

Any private organization or individual shall not manufacture, print, distribute, manufacture and trade currency or items, which violates the nine ethnic groups.

The emperor's seal and the seals of various departments of the imperial court are also stamped below.

As soon as this decree came out, the civil and official circles all breathed a sigh of relief.

The treasure notes of the imperial court are really deceiving people. What is even more speechless is that all the imperial court salaries are paid with precious notes, and it is also used to subsidize wounded soldiers and purchase folk goods.

Treasure banknotes are not equal to their own value at all, so that those who get these treasure banknotes will have misery.

Spend it, you can't spend it.

Many places do not accept treasure notes, including the chamber of commerce of the emperor's grandson.

This makes those who have precious money, have nothing to do with their wealth, but end up starving to death, how sad and deplorable.

Now that the imperial court does not print precious banknotes, it means that there will be no more precious banknotes in the future. As time goes by, the value of those printed in the past may slowly increase, so that the pieces of torn paper in their hands can also be worth Some money.

And there are those who are smart enough to understand that this is the imperial court, and it may be necessary to replace the treasure notes with a new currency.

In order to maintain its credibility and its status in the hearts of the people, the imperial court will definitely take back the precious banknotes that flow among the people.

In this way, there will be fewer and fewer treasure banknotes, and more and more valuable, even exceeding the original value.

Soon, not long after this government decree was issued, some people secretly collected treasure banknotes, intending to keep them as an investment and make a fortune in the future.

But there are not a few such smart people. With the acquisition of these people, the value of the treasure banknotes will increase little by little.

In just one month, the price of consistent treasure banknotes in the northern region has increased to 200 Wen.

Originally, everyone thought that the price would remain stable and would not fluctuate too much.

After all, those who collect banknotes are just for collection and have no other ideas.

But with another order from the imperial court, the price directly doubled to 400 renminbi.

"Your Highness, will it be too wicked for us to do this?"

Zhu Zhangui, whose wound had recovered a little, was sitting in a wheelchair, and Xia Yuanji pushed forward behind him, watching the imperial garden of the Forbidden City.

Looking at his children playing in the sea of ​​flowers, Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly.

"What kind of wickedness is this? I have already issued an order. Treasure banknotes are the face of the court. Private people are not allowed to buy or sell them. They want to make a profit and buy and sell secretly. It's my fault!"

The corner of Xia Yuanji's mouth twitched.

When the folks started to collect treasure banknotes, Zhu Zhangui added an order.

Treasure banknotes are the currency of the imperial court. Except for the Daming Bank, private individuals are not allowed to buy or sell them. Violators will be severely punished. In the end, they also reiterated the ban on silver made by Lao Zhu.

This decree made people who originally wanted to collect some precious banknotes as treasures have other ideas in their minds.The number of treasure notes purchased gradually increased, and even in order to collect more treasure notes, many people secretly raised their prices to compete.At this time, the price of the precious banknotes, which had been slowly rising in price, suddenly doubled.

Isn't it good to have a saying?

The ways to make quick money are written in the law.

This decree added by the imperial court made those people guess that the imperial court intends to recycle the precious banknotes, and the price will definitely be higher than the market price.

If they buy a batch, when the court recycles it, they may be able to make a fortune and squeeze out a fortune from the court.

They have heard that the imperial court has made a lot of money from overseas in recent years.

Although some were distributed to those investors, the bulk was still on the side of the imperial court.

It is such a pity that so much money is lying in the household department of the imperial court. The money should be lying in the cellar of one's own house, sleeping peacefully with his treasures.

Jinling Palace Shangshufang.

"Brother-in-law!"

A flattering shout sounded.

Zhu Pangpang, who was approving the memorial, trembled and looked up at the door.I saw my brother-in-law lying at the door, looking at him with a flattering expression.

Seeing this expression, Zhu Pangpang subconsciously covered his pockets.

This kid wants to exploit his own money.

"Why are you here? You're not here to borrow money again. Let me tell you, I don't have any money. When your sister left, she took all the money with her!"

Zhu Pangpang immediately stopped his brother-in-law from borrowing money.

Zhang Kejian walked in slyly, looking around at the surrounding environment.

In his capacity, it was his first time visiting a secret place like the Shang Study Room, and he was very curious.

"Don't look blindly, if you have something to say, hurry up, I'm still busy!"

Seeing this guy's mischievous eyebrows, Zhu Pangpang felt a shock in his heart.

My daughter-in-law looks so good-looking, why does my brother-in-law look so wretched, it is really hard to believe that they are siblings.

Zhang Kejian didn't care either, and walked forward with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, come here to say hello to you!"

Zhu Pangpang rolled his eyes.

Speaking is better than singing, and you can also say hello to yourself, why haven't I seen you so polite before?It seems that every time I come to the palace, I come to ask for money.

"Okay, I'm in good health. If you have something to say, hurry up and leave. I don't see you in better health." Waving his hands in disgust, Zhu Pangpang urged again and again.

Zhang Kejian didn't care, he sat down on the small stool brought by the eunuch, looked at Zhu Pangpang and asked expectantly.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that the imperial court intends to recycle the treasure notes!"

Zhu Pangpang, who was raising his pen to criticize the memorial, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

My son, this uncle is really accurate.

Zhu Pangpang already knew about his son's plan, and it was planned by Zhu Zhangui and Xia Yuanji in the north, and it went very smoothly.

But the effect on the south side is slight.

The main reason is that the main power of the imperial court is still in the south. Many big families have people who are officials in the imperial court and have the ability to distinguish certain things.

Those big households in the north are collecting treasures and banknotes very quickly, but there is only a small disturbance in the south.

Zhu Zhangui was not satisfied with this result.

Most of the treasures are in the south, and there is no movement in the south. Even if the north is successful, it will not achieve the result he wants.

So he wrote a letter to Zhu Pangpang, asking Zhu Pangpang to make a plan, and let the south also carry out.

In order to make it easier for Zhu Pangpang to start, Zhu Zhangui also gave his father an idea, which is to let Zhang Kejian, who is known as the star of Zhang broom, provoke this incident.

If it is to cheat ordinary people, Zhu Pangpang will definitely not agree.

But Zhu Pangpang felt no pressure to cheat his brother-in-law and those greedy big families.

What's more, this method is still beneficial to the people, so how could he not agree.

So on the day he received the letter, he asked Ji Gang to come and ask the No. 18 spy who was arranged at his brother-in-law's house to release some gossip.

As for why it is number 18.

That's because the first 17 people were all injured or disabled by the broom star attribute picked up by Zhang Ke, and the number 18 was just sent in last month.

For this quota, there was almost a fight in Jinyiwei at that time.

It's not that they want to grab this spot, but they all want to push it to the other party. In the end, a thousand households couldn't stand it anymore, so they directly chose to draw lots, and an unlucky guy was drawn.

There is no way, Zhang Ke's reputation as a broom star is too great, and people who are not hard-fated can't bear it.

Looking up at Zhang Kejian vigilantly, Zhu Pangpang said with a straight face.

"Why are you asking this? This is an imperial court affair. You have neither an official nor a job. Discussing the government indiscriminately, be careful I will beat you!"

Zhang Kejian was not afraid either, he said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Don't you have a good saying! Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. Let me know about the imperial court's policies, so that I can support the imperial court's development!"

Zhu Pangpang curled his lips.

"Just you? Come on! As far as your bad luck is concerned, in Zhan Gui's words, if you stay at home and don't go out, you are making the greatest contribution to the court."

Speaking of this, Zhu Pangpang seemed to have thought of something, and quickly ordered to the little eunuch beside him: "Go and prepare some peach branch water, and scatter all the Shangshufang to get rid of bad luck!"

Zhang Kejian's expression froze for a moment with a hippie smile, feeling depressed in his heart.

Now I don't feel welcome wherever I go, even if I go to Hualou, the old bustard will see him as if he saw the God of Plague.

The reason for all this was caused by my lovely nephew who said that my uncle was the reincarnation of a broom star.

"That's not necessary, brother-in-law. That's all my nephew's nonsense. I'm not the reincarnation of the bastard. If I were the reincarnation of the bastard, would my sister still marry into the palace and become the princess?"

Zhu Pangpang glanced at him, and shook his head under Zhang Kejian's expectant expression.

"It's hard to say. If your sister can marry me, it means that her luck is extremely good, and it suppresses your bad luck."

"Look."

Zhu Pangpang snapped his fingers.

"Before your sister and I got married, nothing happened in your family!"

"But since your sister entered the palace, apart from your sister's house, none of your houses have collapsed!"

"And you're in business. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talk about the few times my son helped you. You didn't lose everything before you sold a thing!"

"and also……"

Seeing that Zhu Pangpang became more and more excited as he talked, and the little eunuchs around him also stared, as if they were listening to some fairy tale, Zhang Kejian quickly waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Pangpang's words.

"Let's talk about these things slowly later, brother-in-law, just tell me if the imperial court plans to take back the treasure notes!"

Zhu Pangpang withdrew his hand, looked at Zhang Kejian for a while, and under his expectant gaze, raised his hand to drive away the servants in the Shang's study.

"What, do you have an idea?"

Zhang Kejian looked excited.

"Ghosts have no idea!"

"Although the dividends given by my nephew's chamber of commerce are enough for the family to eat and drink, but you also know that I am used to being extravagant, and your younger siblings also spend money. There are so many good things in the nephew's chamber of commerce, and the little money goes home. The month is over."

"If I don't want to find a way to earn some money, the family will have a hard time at the end of the year!"

Zhu Pangpang stared at it for a while, and under Zhang Kejian's expectation, he muttered.

"Actually, I don't know much about it!"

"How is it possible? You are the crown prince. Apart from the emperor, you are the biggest in the entire imperial court. There is something you don't know about." Zhang Kejian was a little incredulous. All alone.

Zhu Pangpang spread his hands helplessly, "But that's the truth! As for what you said is the biggest thing for the court other than the emperor, that's even more impossible."

"Who doesn't know the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty now, I, the prince, do odd jobs, and the old man above and my son are really in charge!"

"You really don't know?" Zhang Kejian was still a little suspicious.

"It's not that I don't know, but that I don't know much."

Zhang Kejian's eyes lit up.

"Then tell me what you know!"

Zhu Pangpang hesitated, "You can say it, but I can't guarantee it's true. If you suffer later, don't blame me."

Zhang Kejian quickly stretched out his hand, "I swear, you said you said, I will share half of the money you make, and if you want to lose it, I will count myself as a bastard!"

Zhu Pangpang waved his hand, "Whether you make money or not is your business. I don't need money, and I don't want your money. Let me tell you, just listen, you can tell if it's true or not!"

"Shh!"

Zhang Kejian took out his small notebook and got ready to take notes.

The corner of Zhu Pangpang's mouth twitched again, he reached out and took Zhang Kejian's notebook and threw it aside.

"If you write it down, I won't say it!"

Zhang Kejian nodded repeatedly as if he understood.

"Your nephew is responsible for this matter. I heard that they do have the idea of ​​taking back the treasure notes, and then issue new currency, and the new currency is linked to silver."

Zhang Kejian is not interested in the new currency, he just wants to know whether the banknotes can make money.
