First Prince of Ming Dynasty

After entering the palace, he went straight to the East Palace, but there was no slack in the inspection along the way. At most, Zhu Biao didn't need to get out of the carriage anymore, but he had to stop when he had to. Although the rules were cumbersome, they really prevented accidents.

Just imagine that it is so difficult for the dignified prince Zhu Biao to come in, let alone other people. This is very meaningful to ensure the safety of the royal family and maintain the royal blood.

It took a long time to return to the East Palace without disturbing Chang Luohua. Zhu Biao, who was already a little sleepy, washed his feet and hugged Nuanyu on the warm bed, and fell asleep.

He estimated that he hadn't slept for two or three hours before he was woken up softly by Nuan Yu: "Master, it's time to go to court."

After being shaken awake, Zhu Biao was also very sleepy. He closed his eyes stubbornly but didn't want to open them. Seeing this, Nuan Yu also felt distressed and said, "Then let Liu Jin go and talk to the Holy One. I didn't sleep well when I came back last night. Woolen cloth."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao opened his eyes and sighed, pulled Nuanyu over and bit her chest, causing her to moan coquettishly in dissatisfaction, then Zhu Biao got up, the tent was pulled open by the big and small twins, and the lights in the house Candles are also gradually lit.

To be honest, Zhu Biao thinks that going to court every morning is actually a bit redundant. Although there are many people who go to court, there are only a few who can talk. The effect is not as good as having a small meeting, which saves people talking Miscellaneous.

It is estimated that this is also my father's bad taste. That official does not even want to sleep comfortably with his beautiful wife and concubine. He has to get up early and work late. Of course, there may be reasons for this to reverse the laziness and laziness of the officialdom.

After Zhu Biao had a hasty breakfast, he went to the morning court. It was the same as usual. He waited in the classroom for a while and then went to the pilgrimage.

After the imperial court, Zhu Biao followed his father back to Jinshen Hall, and helped to review some of the memorials. At this time, his father also began to call the officials in charge of the Ministry of Education or the six ministries to hold small meetings. In fact, most government affairs are like this Completed.

When Old Zhu was almost done, Zhu Biao left several servants from the Ministry of Household Industry and the Ministry of Rites for questioning. The servants had to salute the emperor, and then walked to the side of the prince's desk to stand in accordance with the rules.

Lao Zhu glanced at it and then looked down at his memorial, but from the way he hesitated to write, it was clear that he had shifted his attention to his son, and seemed to be curious about what Zhu Biao wanted to ask.

With pen and ink in Zhu Biao’s hand, he first asked the officials of the Ministry of Industry about the arrangement of the coal, and then nodded in satisfaction after he explained the situation in detail. For an exceptionally brilliant plan, safety is the top priority.

The same is true for coal manufacturing. Zhu Biao also thought about assembly line production, but after thinking about it, there are many problems. After all, there are too many differences with traditional manufacturing. Now that autumn has entered and winter is imminent, let's wait for next year to experiment. .

The rest of the people left wanted to ask about banknotes. As the four years of Hongwu were about to pass, the economy of Ming Dynasty had recovered a certain vitality, and Zhu Biao was also planning to promote it.

Moreover, the promotion of banknotes is inevitable. Even if the imperial court does not promote them, wealthy merchants from all over the country will open banknote banks to facilitate transactions. After all, the convenience of banknotes is well known.

Copper coins are good but the denominations are too small. It is okay to buy a steamed stuffed bun and a bowl of herbal tea. To buy a cow, horse, donkey and sheep, you have to wrap it around your neck and waist several times, not to mention buying a house and a car.

Gold and silver can also be traded, but unless it is official silver, the quality of each color is different, some are light and some are heavy, and the value has to be negotiated with each other to calculate, and there is no accurate exchange rate. After all, the currency that the court really recognizes is still Copper coins, not gold and silver.

Moreover, buying and selling items in gold and silver is not so easy. If you buy some small things, you have to use scissors to cut the silver into several pieces, and the transaction can be concluded after weighing.

People who really live a life don’t say that they take silver ingots and slap them on the table. If you dare to take photos, people will think whether your silver ingots are fake.

So now, large merchants’ banknotes are used for major transactions, but banknote transactions are also cumbersome, not to mention that banknotes are guaranteed by the integrity of merchants, and no one really dares to deposit too much in it, let alone for too long.

The ghost knows whether this merchant will offend the nobles one day and thus ransack the family and exterminate the family. What will happen to the money in the savings at that time? Can it be exchanged with the government?

I'm afraid that if the money doesn't come back, even I have to take it in, so the bank notes are basically my own. If you take someone else's money, you should take it out as soon as possible. It's safer to bury it in the ground of your own house than entrusting it to someone else.

Moreover, cashing bank notes is not so easy, and most of them have to go through a lengthy procedure. It does not mean that a beggar can exchange a few large-denomination bank notes. They are all different, I can't tell you a thing or two, not only the bank note will not be cashed to you, but you will have to be dragged to see an official.

Zhu Biao first asked a few people to talk about the banknotes issued by the Yuan Dynasty. These people were not young and spent most of their lives in the Yuan Dynasty, so they naturally knew the banknotes necessary for their basic necessities.

What's more, Old Master Zhang, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was recognized by the government and the public as being knowledgeable. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand anything, or if he wanted to ask about the systems of the past dynasties, he would be invited to ask him.

Old Master Zhang is a traditional literati, he pursues the doctrine of the mean, and has many colleagues around him, so he didn't speak first, so as to save others from having nothing to say, he was going to make up for the omission at the end.

The rest of the people also knew the old master's character, so they said to themselves, everyone is smart, and naturally guessed the prince's intention of asking about this matter, so what Zhu Biao said was what Zhu Biao wanted to know.

Although Zhu Biao was also born in the late Yuan Dynasty to the Zhengzheng period, the currency issued by the Yuan Dynasty had already collapsed at that time. Appeared for a while.

For example, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, according to Gaoyou, was named Dazhou. From the 13th year of Zhizheng, he changed Yuan Tianyou, destroyed the bronze Buddha to cast Tianyou Tongbao, Xu Shouhui cast Tianqi, and Tianding two coins. After Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui, he changed Yuan Dayi and cast Dayi Tongbao.

The only money that Zhu Biao touched when he was a child was Han Lin'er's Dragon and Phoenix Tongbao and the Dazhong Tongbao made by his family.

Therefore, Zhu Biao has no idea about the previous yuan banknotes, and the later banknotes are different from the current situation. They can be used for reference but cannot be applied. After all, the gap between the current era is too large.

Following the narration of several people, Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side also put down the pen and ink in his hand. In fact, as early as the first year of Hongwu, he thought about making banknotes. It is difficult to cast copper coins, and who really knows who casts them.
