Zhang Chengtian didn't appreciate Zhu Biao very much, and even thought he was a bit of a waste. He was already a father, and he was also the prince of the prison country. When big things happened, he had to ask his father to come forward, and even asked his own father to help wipe his butt.
Being a son or a disciple is considered unfilial.
Of course, Zhang Chengtian hates people like Zhu Di who are particularly opinionated. He even thinks that Zhu Di is a troublemaker... Anyway, Zhang Chengtian thinks that everyone is like that, so he is too lazy to assist Zhu Biao.
The task now is to serve Lao Zhu well, learn skills from his father, and then pull up the two brothers so that they can conquer the world for him in the future...
When I think about it, my God, I am really busy.
Zhu Biao, just go ahead!
Zhang Chengtian had a meal, patted his butt and left.
Lao Zhu, on the other hand, became more and more pleased and even laughed.
"Wonderful, really wonderful. Boss, you must remember your father's words and treat Zhang Chengtian well. If we read it right, this kid may grow up to be even more powerful than the Grand Master!"
Zhu Biao was stunned, is this really so? Not necessarily?
Although he was deeply suspicious, he did not talk nonsense to his father, and he also kept Lao Zhu's instructions in mind.
Being the son of a grand master, whether it is Zhang Shuning or Zhang Chengtian, is actually not easy.
If they want to enter the official career, almost in the blink of an eye, they will gather a powerful force. No matter whether it is civil servants, military officers, or even merchants and common people, there are really not many people who dare not buy into the grand master's account.
Zhang Shuning chose the path of enlightenment, helped the poor, and did not form cliques. There is no doubt that he inherited the virtues of Prime Minister Zhang and should be commended.
As for Zhang Chengtian, this guy is cold and indifferent, even a bit arrogant and rogue, which is also an option.
Especially after the commander-in-chief of the Guards Department came next, it was a manifestation of great wisdom.
I don't even pay attention to the Crown Prince, will I still pay attention to you?
Leave them all alone!
The two Zhang family babies have their own characteristics, which makes people look forward to the twins. I wonder what surprises they will bring when they grow up?
Anyway, now these two guys only eat and sleep every day.
The older one likes to laugh. No matter who he sees, he always smiles, and his face seems to be blooming. As for the younger one, he is a bit cold-faced. He eats enough every day and is too lazy to talk to anyone, including his father.
If something doesn't go your way, give Zhang Ximeng a shot.
No matter whether it was regular clothes or a python robe, there were urine stains.
Whatever Zhang Ximeng can do, he can't throw his son away, just deal with it!
Fortunately, Jiang Nan's health has recovered these days, and Zhang Ximeng no longer needs to take care of the children alone.
But after just a few days of work, Jiang Nan couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted to go to work, she really, really wanted to... She would rather face a vast sea of official documents than face two naked dolls.
It's too much trouble to take care of children. You can't beat or scold them. They are just serving the little ancestors.
Zhang Shuning was not like this at the beginning!
"Sir, let me see if I go back to Zhongshu tomorrow or today?"
Zhang Ximeng gave his wife a big roll of his eyes, "Are you so anxious?"
Jiang Nan grinned bitterly, "It's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Aren't I just making money to support the family? Look, now you are taking care of your children and don't go to work or write books. Our family has no way to make money.
Is it because of the northwest wind?"
What the lady said made so much sense that Zhang Ximeng was speechless.
"Okay, you can go whenever you want, but I advise you to wait a little in the end."
"Wait? Why?"
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while and then said: "The prince will preside over the next reform of the official system. It's not good for you to go! It's better to wait at home, so as not to lose your position!"
Jiang Nan nodded, but his mood couldn't help but feel depressed.
In line with the rule that one pregnancy will lead to three years, she became pregnant with two children at once. A conservative estimate would be that the pregnancy would start at six years, with no upper limit.
Jiang Nan was a little worried, and she was getting more and more worried, fearing that Zhu Biao would forget her.
And unfortunately, as time goes by, this fear has a tendency to become reality.
This time Zhu Biao presided over the reform of the official system, which was indeed different from the past.
First of all, the prime minister has become history, and there is no prime minister's position.
The Menxia Province was also removed, and the Zhongshu Menxia was once again combined into one, known as the Zhongshu Menxia, commonly known as the Political Affairs Hall, or the Cabinet.
The cabinet has a chief assistant, who is the foreman of the cabinet ministers and is responsible for managing the daily affairs of the cabinet, promulgating decrees, sorting out government orders, and presiding over meetings.
Under the chief assistant, two or three people can be selected as secondary assistants or group assistants to assist the chief assistant in his work.
Then there are the ministers of various ministries, who are responsible for formulating specific government affairs and implementing the decisions of the imperial meeting and the cabinet.
Under the ministerial office of each ministry, it is assigned to the Ministry of Affairs to lead each ministry and be responsible for its execution.
The Yushitai is responsible for supervising all officials.
At this point, the official reform of the Ming Dynasty finally took shape.
The most critical part of this entire system is the officials responsible for the affairs. They are responsible for daily affairs and do not change with the minister.
Basically, he maintains a neutral and professional attitude and is responsible for the normal operation of all departments.
The chief minister and ministers of various ministries are mainly responsible for formulating government orders and supervising their implementation.
The Yushitai is responsible for supervising all officials and is not subject to cabinet interference in principle... However, if the chief assistant insists on cutting the Yushitai's budget and changing the personnel of the Yushitai, it is not impossible to succeed.
This set of official systems is much simpler than when the Zhongshu sect was separated under the sect. The left and right ministers were also removed, and the overall number of officials was also reduced a lot.
Basically, the result was similar to the original discussion between Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang.
The difference is that the entire reform was directly led by Zhu Biao, and the prince's authority was greatly increased.
Most people felt satisfied, but Jiang Nan was really depressed.
Because the Minister of Commerce was handed over to Han Xiuniang, the original promotion of the branch was changed to Zhou Huiniang.
Anyway, her position is gone.
What is this?
Lost your job?
After giving birth to two children, you turned around and lost your official position?
"Master, send me to Dengwen Drum Courtyard, I want to express my grievance!"
Seeing the madam having a bad temper, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, that kid Zhu Biao won't be so careless. Don't worry, there will be arrangements."
Jiang Nan rolled his eyelids and suddenly said: "Tell me, did you give him any ideas? Do you have to take away my position?"
Zhang Ximeng shouted that he was wronged, "Madam, I still expect to be able to support you immediately! If I do that, won't I destroy the Great Wall myself?"
Jiang Nan snorted, "I don't believe it. After all these years, I haven't figured out your thoughts! You are such a bad person!"
Zhang Ximeng is so helpless, when will his wife's IQ return to its high level?
Just when Zhang Ximeng had no idea, Zhu Biao came.
And brought gifts.
After sitting down, Zhu Biao said directly: "Master, to be honest, this time I asked my wife to come out. I have a very important position. I want to ask my wife to come forward."
Zhang Ximeng let out a long sigh and said, "You're finally here, tell me quickly, what are you going to ask her to do?"
Zhu Biao chuckled and said, "Master, after thinking about it, I think we should set up a Daming Bank to take charge of all currency issuance matters. In terms of character and ability, there is no other person who can handle such a big matter except Master. Therefore, disciple
Come here and ask the Master to come out!"
He is actually the God of Wealth, and Zhu Biao is really generous.
Zhang Ximeng quickly went to invite his wife and said a few words to her, "Congratulations, you finally have something to do this time, and it's a big thing!"
Jiang Nan couldn't hide her excitement. She listened carefully to Zhu Biao's words, and then said: "You said that it is responsible for issuing treasure banknotes. Isn't that a matter of the Bao Banknote Bureau? Is it necessary to establish a separate Daming Bank?"
Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Master's wife, it's like this. Our Ming Dynasty has more and more foreign trade, and more and more gold and silver have been accumulated. It's not appropriate to hand it all to the Baobao Bureau, nor can it be placed in the national treasury.
It was spent. If the Baobao Bureau printed money, it would not be easy for the imperial court to use it except to directly purchase and distribute it. It could not be handed over to other banks for free, so after thinking about it, I felt that it was necessary to set up a general bank for unified management.
Everything, what does Master Niang want?"
Jiang Nan listened carefully and quickly summarized the bank's responsibilities.
"First of all, we must be responsible for foreign trade, manage gold and silver reserves, and be responsible for settlement. Secondly, we must find ways to disperse the printed money. Since you are taking money from me, you must pay me interest, and other
If banks want to make money, they need to lend out at higher interest rates. In short, in a word, I need to set a benchmark interest rate as the core cornerstone of the entire loan market, is this the truth?"
Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and was even a little surprised. As expected of the master's wife, she figured out the key in no time.
"This matter really depends on you, old man."
Jiang Nan blinked and said, "Then how do I calculate my grade salary?"
Zhu Biao was stunned and said hurriedly: "What my disciple means is that Master Niang will hold the title of Bachelor of the East Pavilion, and as the third assistant, will be the admiral of the Ming Dynasty Bank."
A bachelor of the Third Auxiliary University, a senior official of the first rank.
Jiang Nan's face showed joy. It was a trivial matter to move up a level. The key was that she could only wear a gold belt, which was one level lower than her husband's jade belt.
Now I can finally be honest and wear a jade belt.
"That's right, I'll take the next step in this matter." Jiang Nan took care of everything without being polite at all.
Can she do it?
Not to mention, even if Zhang Ximeng comes, he may not be more powerful than Jiang Nan.
She has been promoted in a branch office and served as Minister of Commerce. She has been dealing with money for so many years. She is very aware of the difficulties of doing business and also knows what is needed for business development.
For so many years, the Central Plains has been in a state of deflation. There is a shortage of precious metals, and money shortages often occur. Occasionally, when the money is no longer panic, the money is handed over, printed like crazy, and the currency value collapses. The people can only barter, which is miserable.
Therefore, Jiang Nan believes that a stable and appropriate interest rate is very important.
She managed all the newly issued currency.
And an interest rate of five to eight percent was set, and a total of 28 million yuan was earmarked for the industrial and commercial development of Peiping.
But this money is not given casually, it must be of practical use.
For example, if you want to build a dock, build a sea-going ship, or build roads, or open a mine... No problem, as long as it is for legitimate purposes, you will be paid. As for other things, such as lending money and earning interest, it is a bit difficult.
Jiang Nan asked for someone to be assigned to manage it.
Later, Jiang Nan set up a special fund for overseas exploration, with a maximum of 15,000 guan for individuals and 1 million guan for groups.
Daming wants to provide strong financial support for overseas expansion!
