Chapter 138: Zhu Yuanzhang is an old scoundrel
Lao Zhu took the prince to the vault, and Liu Chun and Ru Taisu rested in the side hall...... The old man's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he took a lot of effort to enter the palace, kneeling and startling, his body was stiff and could not move, and he was paralyzed in his position, similar to a corpse. But his eyes were so bright that he couldn't stand it when he looked at Liu Chun's gaze!
"Yes, yes! No wonder Mr. Liu admires you so much! The old man lowered his voice, "Pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, such a difficult thing has been done by you!" Tsk, let Your Majesty pay for it, you are the first! The old man has lived for such an age, which can be regarded as an eye-opener......"
The old man grinned, but Yoo Chun was not so optimistic.
"Boss, the reserve fund is there, but it is not easy for the bank to set up, it needs too many talents, and it needs to be accepted by the businessmen, and I don't have any bottom now!"
"Hahaha!"
Ru Taisu chuckled: "The old man is also a person who has been a scholar of the household department, and he also knows a few materials that can be made, the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, and now that there is rice, it should not be difficult to have a few clever daughters-in-law." ”
Liu Chun then remembered that Zhu Biao invited the old man out of the mountain, and this was the reason for the eight achievements...... If Liu Chun is asked to find someone, he will definitely borrow some people from the Xu family and the Lan family, in that case, the bank will be tied to Xungui...... Originally, the Huaixi Group was strong, and if it mastered the money again, it would be invincible in the world.
No wonder when he came out of the palace that day, Zhu Biao ran away in a hurry...... This prince is named Renhou, but in fact, he has a lot of eyes in his stomach.
"Boss, since there is no problem with talents, then I have an idea here...... Let's see if you can open a trading market and sell the goods in Daning and other places in a centralized manner. ”
Ru Taisu frowned slightly, "Liu Experience, the old man heard that the things you brought are selling very well, why is it not enough?" ”
Liu Chun smiled: "That's right, I not only plan to sell goods, but also buy, especially tea, silk, and of course, grain...... I took the initiative to cooperate with the bank, and all the buying and selling processes were settled through the bank...... In this way, the bank's business has gone up, the new version of the treasure money has also been used, and the trade of goods between the north and the south is smooth, which is really a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! ”
Ru Taisu thought about it for a while, and immediately smiled, "It's hard to say that everything is difficult at the beginning...... If the bank can undertake the sales of goods from the north to the south, it is bound to win a good start! Well, great! ”
The old man smiled from ear to ear, and praised Liu Chun without saying anything, saying that he was loyal to the country, which was very rare, and if it was done, he would definitely ask Liu Chun for credit...... Liu Chun didn't care about this, he had been busy for so long so that Daning's goods could be sold smoothly...... The so-called commercial agriculture is both strong and fragile.
Strong because it is profitable, it will soon attract a large number of merchants and civilians to Daning and Tuntian, Liaodong, and driven by interests, the goal of immigrating to Shibian can be quickly achieved.
The fragile part is that if you can't trade smoothly, it will bring disaster...... For example, during the Great Depression, milk was poured into the river and piglets were killed, or soybeans could not be sold because of trade disputes...... Of course, these problems do not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
As long as it is opened, the future is immeasurable, and the entire pattern of the Ming Dynasty will be completely changed......
Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba, the master is for your country...... Hurry up and take out all your private money!
……
"That's the guilt."
Zhu Biao looked at the vault in front of him, and was also dumbfounded, even if he was the crown prince, he was the first time to see his father's treasures, and in the past, only Queen Ma was qualified to help Lao Zhu take care of his money.
After the death of Empress Ma, except for those eunuchs who were in charge of the treasury, only the emperor could come in.
Zhu Biao's eyes rolled, and he felt that he couldn't see enough.
There were chests of money everywhere, but depending on the color of the chests, it was clear that they were different batches of gold and silver.
On top of the same batch of chests, there were also wooden strips engraved with clear and graceful handwriting, indicating the origin of the gold and silver......
"Capture Jiqing, seize 53,000 taels of gold and 1,200,000 taels of silver, all of which will be filled into the treasury!"
"The army of Kewuchang swept away Chen Youliang's department, and captured 230,000 taels of gold and more than 280,000 taels of silver!"
"Break the Pingjiang River and get 150,000 taels of gold and 105,000 taels of silver from Zhang Shicheng's savings."
"Recover the capital, collect 500,000 taels of gold and 7.2 million taels of silver!"
……
Zhu Biao looked at these and burst into tears in an instant...... He was not frightened by the amount of gold and silver, but by the handwriting on it!
"Queen Mother!"
Zhu Biao knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand to touch the wooden card, tears in his eyes...... These seizures are exactly the portrayal of Lao Zhu's rise to prominence, from a small leader of the Red Turban Army, little by little, to conquer the east and west, and finally lay down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to eliminate the powerful Dayuan Empire!
During the whole process, Queen Ma accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang, husband and wife, with one heart and one mind, working hard, and only Queen Ma was qualified to share the country with Zhu Yuanzhang!
And now she's been gone for ten years!
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on top of a box, reached out and touched the handwriting on it, and then patted Zhu Biao's shoulder again.
"When Dad is fine, come to this warehouse to take a look, Dad doesn't love money, he comes to see your mother! Sitting here, I can remember how many foods, how much gold and silver, how many soldiers we could recruit, and how many battles we could fight...... Since your mother died, I have come every year to talk to her about how much grain has been added to the treasury and how much gold and silver have been added to the treasury...... This governing the country is the same as governing the family, you must become more and more prosperous, and you can't be a loser! ”
Zhu Biao couldn't say anything, just kept nodding.
"Here, unfold the box!"
Lao Zhu asked his son to open a box, Zhu Biao nodded, and hurriedly complied, this was seized from Gaoyou, after so many years, the loss of the father is still kept!
Zhu Biao was pleased and took out a gold brick...... No, it's a little light!
He picked up another piece, two gold bricks put together, snapped, slag!
Yes!
This is...... Gold...... Bricks?
Zhu Biao was shocked, and hurriedly turned out a few more pieces, he found that the bricks on them were quite conscientious, coated with a layer of gold dust, and there was not even gold dust below!
It's a brick!
"Father, this, this is a bag drop, right?" Zhu Biao almost cried.
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and laughed, "How can you still be stupid when you are such a big person!" Fighting a war and governing the country, which one does not cost money, a lot of gold and silver seized will be rewarded to the soldiers, otherwise, who will give your father his life! ”
Zhu Biao smiled, could he not understand?
It's just that Daddy has made so many empty boxes, and there are bricks in them to fill up, what are you going to do?
"Alas, back then, I told your mother that the money spent could still be recovered, so we left an empty box in this inner house, ready to fill it, and our children and grandchildren will be able to breathe a sigh of relief in the future!"
Zhu Biao's eyes were red, and he was moved, he was really a father!
Lao Zhu grabbed a brick casually and checked it, "I have saved a lot of money, but I also spend a lot, more than half of the boxes in here are empty, and I don't know if they can be filled...... By the way, you said that my father treated these bricks as gold, how about giving them to that stinky boy? Anyway, he said it, it's just a number, the left hand is down to the right hand, there is no difference between true and false, right? ”
Zhu Biao was immediately stupid...... Dad, it's the emperor, we can't be so tricky!
"Father...... Erchen thinks that Liu Chun is a talent, if his method can succeed, these empty boxes will be filled, and it will be just around the corner, but if it is fake, it will be difficult for the child to say! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "You, always speak for that kid!" I am the Son of Heaven, if it is true, who dares to say that it is false? ”
Lao Zhu said this, but he didn't do it...... Instead, they asked people to take out 150,000 taels of gold and 2 million taels of silver as bank reserves.
Zhu Biao took one-third of the internal money and sent it to Liu Chun.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt empty in his heart, no!
He hurriedly brought Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, "I have paid the money, I can't just lose it out of thin air...... You send someone to show me, if you really lose, the bank can't do it...... You sealed the bank, and then you shipped back all the gold and silver! ”
Hum!
I am the Son of Heaven, I can't lose money!
