Zhu Zhanchang trotted all the way to Zhu Zhanji's yard. At this time, the courtyard was brightly lit, and Zhu Zhanchang pushed the door open and entered in a hurry.
There were bright lights inside the door, so Zhu Zhanzhen concluded that someone must be there, but he didn't expect it to be two people.
"Brother."
Zhu Zhanchen pushed the door open and came in, only to see Zhu Zhanji holding Sun Ruowei's hand. The two of them were having sex with each other just now.
The young couple was already blushing while holding hands. Seeing Zhu Zhanxun come in, they quickly let go of their hands and pretended that nothing happened.
Zhu Zhanji was not the majestic Emperor Xuanzong now, but an innocent young man. He blushed and coughed while pretending to be calm: "Zhan Zhan, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Brother, I'm here to discuss something with you, and my sister-in-law happens to be here too."
Sun Ruowei glanced at Zhu Zhanji and turned even redder: "Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense."
"Stop talking nonsense, what on earth is going on?"
Zhu Zhanchen walked over and said, "Brother, I have a good idea."
Zhu Zhanji knew that whenever Zhu Zhanchen had a good idea, it was a really useful idea. However, his second uncle got an errand from the Security Department. Zheng He was also addicted to steam engines. Now it was his turn.
"What's the idea?"
"Brother, I recently learned from the maid of honor in our palace that no voucher is required to get things from the warehouse in each courtyard in our palace. It all depends on the warehouse eunuch to register. Grandpa Huang just dealt with the case of Dare last year.
The warehouse eunuch who deducted anthracite from me and my fourth brother."
When Zhu Zhanji heard this, he felt very bored. Why did his second uncle and Zheng He do great things for the country? The good idea he told him was related to the eunuchs in the palace storehouse.
"This has been the case for many years. They are just some little eunuchs who take advantage of others." Zhu Zhanji said nonchalantly.
"Brother, have you ever thought about solving the root cause of this kind of thing?"
Zhu Zhanji was not interested: "These matters are under the control of the eunuchs and maids in the palace. We don't need to intervene. They are just trivial matters."
Zhu Zhanzhen noticed that his good brother was not interested in this matter. He still did not understand the meaning behind it, so he continued: "Brother, this is not only related to matters in the palace. If my idea is feasible, it can replace Bao
Money."
"What!!" Zhu Zhanji instantly felt as if he had been injected with blood.
The implementation of Baochao has been weak, which is a huge headache for the prince. Baochao is of great benefit to the country, and even a smart and capable person like Hube Xia Yuanji cannot promote it. Naturally, Zhu Gaochi also has a huge headache.
Zhu Zhanji had heard his father talk about the treasure banknotes many times, but no one had any idea. Now his whimsical fifth brother had an idea.
When Zhu Zhanchen saw his elder brother's appearance, he knew that he was interested. When talking to people like them, he must talk about the matter in a big way. It is best if it is related to the country, the country, and the country. They don't care about small things at all.
"Please tell me in detail." Zhu Zhanji sat down and studied ink. It was his habit to write down many important things.
People in ancient times were still diligent, and the emperor and his grandson took notes so seriously.
"Brother, I think we can register the rice, flour and grain in the palace warehouse in the form of bills, such as bills with a face value of one stone of rice. Based on this bill, we can go to the warehouse to exchange for the corresponding grain."
Zhu Zhanji looked confused: "These bills can only be exchanged for grain, what use are they for treasure notes?"
"Brother, I think your idea is misunderstood. Why does a treasure note have to have a few taels of silver written on it? Isn't it the same thing if it says a few taels of silver?"
Zhu Zhanji thought about it carefully, and Zhu Zhanxi continued: "This bill can be called a food stamp. A food stamp with a face value of one stone meter can be exchanged for one stone meter, which means that the food stamp has actual goods value, and the ticket is intended to have
value, the actual value will not be inconsistent with the face value like a treasure banknote."
"Isn't it the same if it says that the denomination of silver can be exchanged for silver?"
"It's different." Zhu Zhanchen shook his head.
"What's different?"
Zhu Zhanchen reminded in a roundabout way: "Brother, there is more food every year." In fact, the biggest reason is that the court made the people believe that the paper notes can be as valuable as silver.
Zhu Zhanji was smart and understood what he meant. The increase in grain means the increase in food stamps every year.
Looking at his younger brother in surprise, Zhu Zhanji asked: "Food stamps and treasure notes are actually the same thing."
Zhu Zhanzhen nodded: "My brother thinks these two things are the same, and compared with ordinary treasure notes, food stamps are easier to control."
Sun Ruowei, who was standing next to him, interrupted: "Your Highness, Hu Shanggong has thought of a similar method before."
"What method?"
"The cloth and silk tribute from various places are particularly precious. Your Majesty has given so many rewards to the nobles that all of them can't use them all at once. They are all stored in the warehouse in the form of written records. Which nobleman has saved as much as what color?"
What material."
"Later it was difficult to write on a slip, so I only wrote information about one piece of cloth on each piece of paper. The nobles often gave each other gifts of these pieces of cloth, and also rewarded some servants."
Zhu Zhanji had an enlightenment. Things like food stamps can not only be used as bills to receive the corresponding grains, but can also be used as bills of equivalent value for transaction circulation. Isn't this the ideal treasure banknote?
When he thought of this, Zhu Zhanji immediately became excited: "Zhan Zhan, come with me to see Grandpa Huang."
Zhu Zhanchen stopped him and said, "Brother, you can talk to your father about this first. Grandpa Huang will wait until we have thought carefully about the food stamps before we talk about it."
Zhu Zhanji was so excited that he slapped his forehead. Once it came to the emperor, this kind of national-level circulating banknotes covered a very wide range, and it couldn't be just based on an idea like a steam engine.
After all, even if the steam engine failed, it was just a technological invention that failed, but if the food stamps were implemented and failed, it would shake the foundation of the country.
Zhu Zhanji calmed down: "Well, I'll go talk to my father about the food stamps later. If my father thinks it's okay, we'll try it in the palace first, and then report it to the emperor if it's feasible."
.”
"It all depends on big brother." Zhu Zhanzhen's cute little brother looked obedient and sensible.
Zhu Zhanji touched Zhu Zhanzhen's head with great satisfaction: "Zhanzhen, how do you get such a long head? How do you come up with an idea at once? If it succeeds this time, you will be the first to take the lead."
Zhu Zhanzhen chuckled: "Brother, go talk to your father tomorrow and ask Sister Sun to take me to the warehouse. I will help you think of more ideas and give you ideas."
I have helped my eldest brother, and I have made meritorious deeds for my eldest brother. When my eldest brother becomes the emperor, he will give me a fief with many beauties.
"Okay, Ruowei will take Zhan Chen to the warehouse tomorrow. No matter how big or small it is, just tell Zhan Chen everything he wants to know. If anyone is being secretive and doesn't know what to do, just come and report it to me directly."
Zhu Zhanzhen looked at Sun Ruowei: "Sister-in-law, please take me to meet Hu Shanggong tomorrow. Her approach is somewhat consistent with my ideas."
"Fifth Young Master, please don't call me sister-in-law." Sun Ruo blushed slightly.
