Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Good luck!

I should not die, so I chose to return to the emperor's baton...

The emperor was actually prepared to attack him. Fortunately, I saw the opportunity coming...

Zuo Liangyu was lamenting that he had saved his life, and Zhu Youjian had already coughed lightly.

"General Zuo, Yuan Zongdi of Xiangyang is already a turtle in the urn and will be at my mercy.

General Zuo, what's your next plan? "

When Zuo Liangyu heard that the emperor was still testing him, the cold sweat that had just stopped wetted his clothes again.

"Your Majesty, all my actions will be subject to Your Majesty's arrangements!"

Zuo Liangyu had no choice but to promise that he would be flattened and rounded by others.

During the Battle of Fancheng, he sent spies to observe.

The emperor only used three rounds of artillery fire to knock down an entire wall of the majestic Fancheng...

At this time, Zuo Liangyu saw the emperor's sword pointing at Wuchang again, how could Zuo Liangyu dare to have any different intentions.

"Yeah." Zhu Youjian responded, but he didn't complain in his heart:

Believe me, I don’t know where I died.

"I am short of food. If General Zuo is willing, how about he go to Hunan to help me raise food?"

Zuo Liangyu stood up quickly:

"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you about the military pay..."

Before Zuo Liangyu could say anything about lack of money, Zhu Youjian interrupted him directly:

“Hunan is a land of fish and rice, there is no shortage of food, and food prices are not high there.

No matter how much you collect, I will give you a price of seven coins for each stone.

Before I stop it, no matter how much you charge, it will still be this price! "

Seven denarii?

Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened instantly.

In other words, even if he buys food normally, he still has a net profit of three yuan!

If we send troops to pretend to be robbers...

Damn it, this is a huge profit!

"How dare you ask for your Majesty's money? Your Majesty is short of food. Isn't it right for me to offer you food?"

Zuo Liangyu coyly said that she wanted to be a bitch but still wanted a memorial arch.

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"Huang Degong and Zheng Hongkui purchased grain for me in Jiangnan, and I gave them seven cents.

As for Zuo Liangyu, I can't be too kind to one another. I'll accept seven coins of silver and one stone as much as you have! "

Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed. The emperor's words meant this. If he had money but didn't make it, he would be a bastard!

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely not let the food issue become a problem for Your Majesty!"

Isn’t it just food?

There are many in the south!

Besides, this road is a place where water flows freely. Once loaded with sand boats, it will be a profit of several hundred taels.

Does the boatman need to pay money?

With a sword on the neck, who dares to disobey my General Zuo's orders?

even……

Zuo Liangyu's eyes flickered, I don't even have to pay for food!

That dog thief Zhang Xianzhong, wasn't he just driven to Sichuan? There must be some stragglers left behind!

They robbed the food of the big families in Jiangnan and did what the hell did I, Zuo Liangyu, do to me?

Damn, this is a good thing that costs nothing!

Zhu Youjian looked at him with a half-smile and said calmly:

"The people have no food at home, and that little miscellaneous food is not enough for you, General Zuo, to exchange for much money. If I hear that someone robs the poor people of their food, do you know the consequences?"

Zuo Liangyu nodded hurriedly:

"This is natural. I only get food from the gentry and never touch the common people."

The people only have a few taels of oil and water. If they rob a county, can they get a boatload of rice?

Now that the emperor has left it to his own devices, it would be most cost-effective to rob the gentry!

……

Zhu Youjian clapped his hands, and Qin Zhien brought a wooden box.

Zhu Youjian let Zuo Liangyu take it and said:

"This is my newly minted coin, it is very exquisite!"

Zhu Youjian took out a "Zhu Datou" from his arms, pinched the center of the silver coin with the tips of his thumb and index finger, blew on the corner, and put it to his ear.

The buzzing sound suddenly started.

"This coin of mine is made using my newly invented and exclusive method. This is the way to identify authenticity.

you try! "

Zuo Liangyu opened the box and saw a box full of shiny silver coins.

These silver coins almost all look the same. Although they are pressed flat, they are not as bulging as silver ingots. Each one is light and does not weigh one or two at all.

However, this almost flawless silver can be seen at a glance - it was really made at a great cost.

He picked up one and saw that not only did it have a lifelike portrait of the emperor, but also the words "New one or two in the 17th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty" under the portrait.

Turning it over, I saw that the central figure turned into a sun and moon flag, surrounded by small words arranged in a ring: "Those who destroy it will be punished a hundred times, and those who merge with others will be killed."

Zuo Liangyu weighed it slightly and found that the weight of the coin seemed to be much lighter. It should only be worth six or seven coins.

However, such exquisite coins are really rare.

The difference in weight is nothing.

Zuo Liangyu imitated the emperor's approach, pinched the center with two fingers, blew towards the corners, and then put it to his ear.

"Buzz!"

A crisp buzzing sound sounded.

Zuo Liangyu's eyes lit up.

so amazing?

He picked up another one without believing in evil and blew another breath. He could hear the buzzing sound of the silver dollar without even putting it to his ear.

God!

Zuo Liangyu's eyes widened and he swallowed:

"May I ask Your Majesty, will settlement be based on this new silver in the future?"

"This is natural!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile on his face.

Zuo Liangyu is willing to accept...

His move to leverage the world's silver deposits finally took the most important first step!

If you want to promote new money, there are only two ways:

First, new money is pushed to the people through military pay and salaries, through soldiers and officials related to the country.

However, in this way, it is equivalent to marrying the risk to one's own people.

Once the promotion fails, what will happen to Zhu Youjian is that everyone will be alienated.

The emperor would not use this trick, so the most convenient way was killed by Zhu Youjian first.

Second, use trade as a way to promote the new money through people like Zuo Liangyu who are outside Zhu Youjian's system.

For these people, once the promotion fails, they will inevitably use their own strength as a means to get the money they deserve from Zhu You.

It's nothing more than re-melting silver dollars and paying them in silver taels.

In other words, if something requires human effort, the risk is the lowest.

It was under this premise that Zhu Youjian first decided to conduct grain trade with Huang Degong, Zheng Hongkui, and Zuo Liangyu, and then took the opportunity to promote new money.

This is also the safest financial method.

At present, Zhu Youjian has taken a solid step. At the very least, Zuo Liangyu is inclined to use new money for settlement.

This is a good sign!

Of course, the silver dollar is exquisite enough, and with the epoch-making casting method, the first one to try it will definitely get a lot of "premium" income, which is the prerequisite that Zuo Liangyu is willing to accept.
