I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

It's really weird.

"Father, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Noticing the surprised look in his father's eyes, Zhu Zhangui asked suspiciously.

"It's not like your style. Why did you come back from a stroll in the north and become a kind person with no blood on your hands?"

Zhu Zhangui rolled his eyes angrily, "Could it be that in your eyes, I am a violent and murderous person?"

Zhu Pangpang smiled, "To be honest, it's a bit like that. When you murdered a brat, you were just like my grandpa. The look in your eyes is scary."

"I looked at you several times, just like seeing that your great-grandfather is still alive. I was frightened awake at night when I slept and dreamed!"

Zhu Zhangui: "..."

"Okay, tell me quickly, what are you going to do?"

Zhu Zhangui curled his lips speechlessly, and spoke out his thoughts.

"Actually, my initial thought was to find the leaders and kill a batch of warnings, and then confiscate all the treasures they collected, and drive them all to the artisan camp, and work hard for a few years to atone for their sins!"

"Your uncle is the leader! If we cut it off, we won't be able to explain to your mother!" Zhu Pangpang kindly reminded.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands.

"So I changed the punishment method!"

"How do you say that?" Fatty Zhu became more interested.

"My idea is this, first lock them up for a few days to scare them, and confiscate all the treasures they bought, and then set a time for labor reform according to the amount of treasures they collected!"

"As for the money they owed to the bank, I decided to have their family pay it back 2:1."

"No, isn't this a loss of money for our family!" Hearing the price, Zhu Pangpang quit.

The family finally managed to save this little wealth, and Zhu Pangpang also recognized the money distributed to the common people.

As Zhu Zhangui said, the wrong things done by the old Zhu family must be admitted. Even if the royal family eats chaff and swallows vegetables, they can't lose money to the common people.

But these second generations are different, Zhu Pangpang is not willing to give them money.

"Can you just listen to me first?" Zhu Zhangui reminded quickly after being interrupted by his father.

"Say it, say it."

Zhu Pangpang quickly shut up, pretending to be all ears.

"My two-to-one ratio is not to let them pay back only half of the loan, but to let them pay back half of the loan, and then exchange the other half for our newly minted currency."

"In this way, not only can we get the money back, but we can also use the new currency!"

After Zhu Pangpang listened, his eyes gradually lit up.

This is a good way.

Not only can the loan be returned, but also the new currency can be circulated.

these officials

, the petty bourgeoisie family, but the main force of consumption in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as these people are the first to use the new currency, the people at the bottom can only accept these new currencies whether they like it or not.

In the future, as long as the imperial court maintains the value of the new currency, the currency of Ming Dynasty will be officially stabilized.

As long as the court does not mess around, there will be no risk of currency reputation collapse in the future.

In the afternoon, the courtiers gathered again.

It's just that the state of the courtiers is divided into two types, one is mental exhaustion from a busy morning, and the other is physical exhaustion.

Those who were mentally exhausted were those whose nephews did not participate in Baochao's work, while those who were physically exhausted had just returned from Jinyiwei Prison.

According to Zhu Zhangui's report from his subordinates.

These guys are all ruthless.

He ran to Jin Yiwei and rushed directly into the imperial prison. When he found his nephew, it was a slamming hammer.

It's called a ruthless one.

Those who are whipped are whipped with a whip, and those who are smashed with torture tools are smashed with torture tools.

The second generations were like sandbags, laying on the ground and howling and screaming non-stop. The brutal scene made many old Jin Yiwei feel terrified.

So brutal.

It is said that a lot of blood flowed to the beams of the house, and Zhang Kejian, who was the only one not beaten, was so frightened that he peed his pants again.

"Have you asked the matter clearly?"

Thinking about the scene at that time in his mind, Zhu Zhangui smiled, and looked at Liu Shilang, who looked like a dead father.

Liu Shilang nodded with a bitter face.

When beating his own son, he had already asked clearly.

It is true that he borrowed 10 taels, using his own property as collateral. Later, if he couldn't borrow it anymore, this bastard even planned to borrow another sum.

Hearing this sentence at the time, if it wasn't for Jin Yiwei's desperate pull, Liu Shilang would have beaten this traitor to death.

As the so-called repayment of debts is justified.

Ordinary folks are like this, not to mention the money owed to the imperial government.

It was written there in black and white, and he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

What made him even more depressed was that the precious banknotes bought by his son's gang of bastards were also confiscated by the Imperial Court Jinyiwei.

In the words of Jin Yiwei, your sons and nephews have all pleaded guilty, and these treasures are stolen money and will be confiscated.

He didn't make any money, and he still owed a lot of debts. Liu Shilang was getting more and more angry when he thought about it.

If I knew this bastard was such a cheater, he should have drowned in that cesspit when he was born.

"Now that we know, let's talk about how to deal with it!"

Seeing Liu Shilang and others nodding, Zhu Zhangui leaned back slightly, with a look of sympathy on his face, and proposed to discuss how to deal with it.

"Your Highness, those treasures..."

"The stolen money has been confiscated."

Before Liu Shilang finished speaking, Zhu Zhangui understood what the other party wanted to fight.It was nothing more than wanting to use those precious notes to cover the debts their son owed to the bank.

Just take a pile of waste paper and want to wipe the account, what a joke, just as the bank is open to charity.

"But Your Highness, those precious notes..." Liu Shilang and the others were a little bit unwilling to give up.

Those precious banknotes were bought by their own bastards with real money. If they didn't owe a lot of foreign debts, the court would just take them away.

But now those bastards still owe a lot of foreign debts. If they don't take these treasures to bear it, the family will have to pay for it themselves.

Liu Shilang of others doesn't know.

But asking his family to take out 10 taels of silver is forcing the whole family to beg for food.

So no matter what you say, even if you can't repay the debt, you have to reduce it, otherwise their family will really go bankrupt.

He has an old lady, and a lot of wives and concubines. Without money, how can he support so many people.

Others also hold this idea.

On the way to the court, they had already discussed it.

these bastards

The money owed to the bank cannot be denied. After all, most of the money in the bank was provided by the emperor's grandson and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Putting the emperor's grandson aside, if anyone dared to owe money to the household department, that bastard Xia Yuanjin would definitely block the door and swear.

So they have to take some of this money, but how much they pay depends on their own struggle.

"You don't need to think too much about the precious banknotes. The emperor has issued repeated orders to prohibit the exchange of precious banknotes among the people."

"The children in your family know that there is such an imperial decree, but they still brazenly buy the treasures. This is not paying attention to the court and the emperor. If His Royal Highness hadn't been pleading hard for you, you Now you are not discussing with me how to deal with the matter, but going home to have a funeral with your nephew.”

In order to stop these guys from making money, Zhu Zhangui blocked the conversation directly.

All the people present.

They heard the meaning from Zhu Zhangui's words.

The emperor intends to take back those treasures and use them in exchange for their son's life.

But their lives are saved, but there are still punishments that should be given in the later stage. The specific punishment depends on their performance.

After thinking about this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

If money is gone, you can earn it again. If the child’s life is gone, then it’s really gone.

The whole family is waiting. If the child's life is lost, they don't know how to go back and face their family.

"Your Highness, what about the loan?"

The main thing is settled, and the next thing is to deal with those loans.

Liu Shilang and others wondered if they could reduce the loan amount.

How could Zhu Zhangui not know what these people were thinking, and looked at everyone with a stern face and said coldly.

"It's only natural to pay off debts. If you feel it's inappropriate, I can ask Xia Yuanji to come back and talk to you."

Everyone's face darkened.

Forget it Xia Yuanji, that guy has a dark heart when it comes to money.

In the end, the two sides engaged in verbal confrontation, confronted secretly, played with their minds, and finally settled on the result.

The family members of the prisoners will exchange the new currency at a ratio of 2:1, declaring to the outside world that they support state affairs.

The reason for looking for this reason is nothing more than wanting to look better.

Zhu Zhangui didn't bother to pay attention to these people's ghost thoughts.

As long as the money can be returned and the new currency issued, everything else is a small problem.

There is no need to mention the treasure note, it was directly confiscated by Zhu Zhangui in the name of the old man.

The officials didn't say anything, after all, the money was to buy their own children's lives.

Finally, it is the punishment for those who buy treasure banknotes privately.

After everyone's discussion, it was decided to send everyone to the artisan camp to help the artisans build railways, open up wasteland and other things.

How long it takes can be determined according to the number of treasure notes purchased.

1 treasure notes are punished for one year, and those less than 1 are rounded up.

Also in order to reflect the benevolence of the court, the family members of the prisoners can use gold and silver to buy new currency to commute their sentences.

If you buy 1 new currency, you can reduce your sentence by one year.

At the same time, I added a sentence at the end, all those who have a reputation will be eliminated, and those who have an official position will be dismissed. From then on, such people will never be hired by the court.

If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated.

As an official of the imperial court, a well-known literati, if he dares to covet the imperial court's money today, he can raise the flag and rebel tomorrow.

When the final result was finalized, many people looked at Zhu Zhangui as if they were looking at a black-hearted businessman.

As expected of the grandson of the emperor who started a business, he has a set of methods to make money from doing business.

With so many people arrested across the country, the money for loan repayment and commutation of sentences can almost make up for the money that the imperial court exchanged for precious banknotes from the people.

So it counts.

The imperial court withdrew the treasure banknotes and issued a new currency, which won a group of laborers for nothing, and warned the officials

The aristocratic family enriched the people at the bottom without losing much money.

This method of killing six birds with one arrow is really clever.

The next step was the edict written by the Ministry of Rites, and the big seals were affixed by the yamen of all ministries. Zhu Zhangui raised the jade seal that the old man asked him to bring back, and buckled it heavily. This edict came into effect officially.

"Tsk tsk tsk, good boy, you are capable of fighting, and this scheming technique is not bad!"

Eastern Palace in the evening.
