Chapter 137: Zhu Yuanzhang's Small Treasury

What is a real warrior?

Before today, Ru Taisu would most likely think that it was his old friend Qian Tang.

Zhu Yuanzhang read "Mencius" and found the words in it too unpleasant...... In particular, "the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart." The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman. The gentleman regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the monarch as an enemy", which directly poked Lao Zhu's lungs!

I treat my courtiers as my siblings, but my courtiers treat the people as fish and meat!

Of course, Lao Zhu can't tolerate such a "fallacy and heresy", Master Meng has been dead for 2,000 years, but he still enjoys the sacrifice in the Confucian Temple, so Lao Zhu ordered that Mencius be carried out, and from then on, no more sacrifices.

This is a hornet's nest.

The way of Confucius and Mencius, the way of Confucius and Mencius...... If there is no Mencius, then there will be only "the way of Confucius" left, and the big guy is only a "disciple of Confucius", which is tolerable or unbearable!

The officials were fried, shouting one by one that they wanted to fight for Mencius and maintain the dignity of Taoism.

It's just easy to say, but it's hard to do.

Your Majesty is so angry, whoever goes, not only will he lose his life, but maybe even his family will be implicated...... Just when everyone was helpless, Qian Tang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up and broke into the palace to meet him...... The old gentleman also received an arrow, and blood stained the palace gate.

But Qian Tang was tough enough, shouting that he would die for Mencius, and there would be more glory in his death!

Lao Zhu was also taken aback, even if he killed Qian Tang's father and son, he might not have the courage to break into the palace, but for Mencius, he didn't avoid life and death...... Scholars still have two or two bones.

Lao Zhu didn't kill Qian Tang, nor did he drive Mencius out...... But the persistent Zhu Yuanzhang would not admit defeat easily, he simply released a deleted version of "Mencius", and deleted all the words he hated.

This is a very famous public case...... Qian Tang relied on that sentence to die for Mencius, and he died with more glory, and became a warrior praised by Shilin, and even Ru Taisu was ashamed of himself.

But after today, Ru Taisu dared to say that compared to the young man in front of him, Qian Tang was not worth mentioning, the two sides were very different, one was fighting for Mencius, and the other was cutting meat directly from the emperor......

What is Yoo Chun going to do?

Go ask Zhu Yuanzhang for money!

It's not a small amount, it's millions of taels of real money!

For so many years, His Majesty's rewards are almost all treasure money, and occasionally give some gold melon seeds and gold ingots, but they are all small and pitiful, and their eyes are not good, and they can be lost.

Ru Taisu knew that wanting to take money from His Majesty was almost like snatching meat from a tiger's mouth.

If you don't do it, you will be bitten by a tiger!

The old gentleman was worried, but Liu Chun was righteous and strict, and he was righteous.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are raising banking matters, but there is one thing that needs Your Majesty's full help!"

"What's the matter?" This time, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing the emperor's regular clothes, a bright yellow dragon robe, a black winged crown, and two small ears on it, which looked like mouse ears, quite cartoonish.

It seemed that Lao Zhu was in a good mood, and took the initiative to say: "Whether you need manpower or a house, I can give you a piece of open space in the east of the city." ”

It's rare, the emperor was generous once, Ru Taisu looked at Liu Chun desperately, and said in his heart that you kid will accept it when he sees it, and get off the donkey down the slope, but don't look for death!

How did he know that Liu Chun was not very bold, but sometimes, when the shaft came to the strength, the nine cows couldn't pull it back!

"Your Majesty, personnel and position are important, but the top priority is the capital of the bank, and the minister dares to implore Your Majesty to give you some start-up capital."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, I will give you 200,000 yuan in treasure money, go and prepare quickly!" ”

gave 200,000 yuan in one mouth, which is already considered a great grace of the emperor. Ru Taisu wondered if Liu Chun had anything to do with the Son of Heaven, otherwise, how could he be so easy to speak?

"Your Majesty, the start-up capital needed by the minister is for the purpose of bank exchange and to provide guarantee for the treasure banknotes...... So, the minister needs gold and silver! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to hear clearly, "What do you want?" ”

"The minister said that he hoped that His Majesty could provide several million taels of gold and silver as start-up capital......

"Shut up!"

Before Liu Chun finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table!

"Good for you, Liu Chun! You said that you would use the bank to adjust the treasure money and maintain the stability of the currency...... I have already agreed, you don't have the ability, but let me pay for it, do you want me to wipe your ass? ”

Lao Zhu was murderous, Ru Taisu was trembling, and Liu Chun was very aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, this preparation for the establishment of a bank is actually similar to doing business...... No matter what kind of business, you have to make money first...... If Your Majesty is unwilling to pay, then there is only one way for the minister! ”

"What's the solution?"

"It is to find powerful wealthy businessmen and let them contribute money to shares...... It's just that since then, the control of the bank is no longer in the hands of His Majesty! ”

"Ridiculous!"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more angry he became, and he stood up angrily.

"Liu Chun, I agreed to set up a bank, do I still have to be led by others?"

Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Of course not, so...... Your Majesty should have made some extra money and become a veritable major shareholder, so that the bank would be completely obedient to Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, such a powerful logic, is this money decided?

In the next second, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was full of emotion, and he scolded: "As a courtier, to relieve the worries of the monarch's father, if you are like you, you only know that you reach out and ask for money, even if the Ming Dynasty has gold and silver, it will be emptied, and I will not agree!" ”

"Your Majesty, this shareholding in the bank is not asking for money in vain, this money will be used as the principal of the bank, and His Majesty will pay dividends in the future, just rely on this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled angrily, "Dividends? What if you lose money? ”

"Then we can only lose together......" Liu Chun noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's cannibalistic gaze, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister's investment in Daning is completely successful and profitable, this, this...... You can ask His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

……

“…… Father, that's the general situation. Zhu Biao told Zhu Yuanzhang in detail about the beginning and end of his investment in the steel plant, 50,000 taels became 150,000 taels, and two years later, it is expected to reach 500,000 taels!

Money really makes money!

Zhu Biao appeared to say, which made Lao Zhu hesitate.

As a peasant-born emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang has two major beliefs about wealth...... First, he only believes in farming and harvesting, and as for usury, borrowing money to earn interest, that is not a good person's business.

Second, he thinks that wealth is only allowed to go in, not out!

Life is going to be more and more prosperous...... Buy a table today, add a chair tomorrow, this is the presentable, otherwise, you are a loser. Put it on the money, for 20 years, I saw the silver flowing into the interior, but I didn't see how much money Lao Zhu had spent, and even the dormitory was so shabby, but Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy.

According to Ru Taisu's estimates, over the years, the gold and silver accumulated in the palace are at least more than 10 million taels!

Since there is so much money, there is nothing wrong with taking it out as the principal.

"Your Majesty, actually...... As long as the value of the treasure banknote is stable and the merchants can accept it, they can naturally exchange the treasure money for more gold and silver...... Your Majesty took out the gold and silver, and it did not disappear out of thin air...... It's just that from the inside, it was transferred to the bank's vault. And His Majesty is the majority shareholder of the bank, in the final analysis, this money still belongs to His Majesty, but it is transferred from the left hand to the right hand, there is no difference! Liu Chun patiently explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted with his nose, "Since there is no difference, then why do you have to pay for it?" ”

"For the sake of faith!" Liu Chun said loudly: "If Your Majesty uses the internal money as a guarantee for the treasure money, the people believe in the Son of Heaven, and naturally believe in the treasure money, otherwise, the people hesitate in their hearts, and they may not be willing to cooperate with the arrangements of the imperial court!" ”

After Liu Chun finished speaking, the crown prince Zhu Biao also said: "Father, the so-called employment is not suspicious, and there is no need for suspicious people." Liu Chun didn't dare to treat his life as child's play, according to Erchen's wishes, it was better to let him experiment. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Prince, you come with me!" ”

Zhu Biao was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly followed Lao Zhu ...... The father and son went straight to an inconspicuous temple in the palace.

"Speaking of which, this was made by your queen mother when she was alive, come in and take a look!"

The legendary royal treasury is unreservedly displayed in front of Zhu Biao, and how much money Lao Zhu has is about to be revealed......
