Zhu Biao thought of the riot in the Guanya Bureau that day and the miserable situation of the people holding stacks of banknotes in exchange for less than a kilogram of rice after the use of banknotes. He hurriedly advised Lao Zhu: "Father, why don't you just follow the advice of your twelfth brother?"
I mean, let’s start by casting copper coins.”
Lao Zhu always thought that it would be great to exchange paper for money in the hands of the people.
This time Zhu Bai showed him the so-called credit collapse, and he realized that this would cause big problems.
Even if this could be done, the time is not yet ripe.
Eat the food one bite at a time, otherwise you will choke.
Lao Zhu pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay."
Zhu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to leave.
Lao Zhu said: "Wait a minute, why are you running? We haven't finished talking yet."
Zhu Bai could only stand with his hands folded again.
Lao Zhu said: "We always feel that it is not appropriate to leave this matter of coining money to others. It is inevitable that there will be those who are corrupt and pervert the law and cast fake money, cheating the people and the court. So we plan to leave this matter to you. Anyway, you
The thirteen first-level official teeth bureaus and the official teeth general bureau have the same setup as the Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau. It is better to put these two bureaus directly under the control of your official teeth bureau. The official teeth bureau will cast money, and then
send out."
I'll go and speak nicely.
When the copper coins circulate and there is a deficit, I will have to make up for it.
Zhu Bai secretly gritted his teeth and pursed his lips without making a sound.
Zhu Biao was also shocked and glanced at Lao Zhu.
The official bureau has strangled almost all large-scale material flows and most of the silver circulation.
If you still give Zhu Bai the right to mint money now, it does not mean that you are handing over the financial lifeline of the imperial court to him.
Lao Zhu said: "Boy, we have given you such a great power to mint money. You have to do it well."
Zhu Bai saluted: "This responsibility is too big, and my son and I are young and cannot bear it."
Just kidding, now that he is engaged in this official bureaucracy, he often subsidizes the court, and is scolded like a dog. If he takes over the job of minting money again, wouldn't he make himself a living target?
And on the surface, this kind of thing may seem like a lot of money, but in fact, it means you can’t get any benefits from the work.
Because Lao Zhu will definitely cast as much copper as he will give him.
There is no profit, labor costs, losses, casting costs have to be subsidized, and risks must be taken.
Given Lao Zhu's temper, maybe he could be given half a catty of copper and asked to cast a catty of copper coins.
The remaining half a catty was all made up by him.
That would be a huge loss.
Lao Zhu frowned: "Bold, you are resisting the decree."
Zhu Bai simply knelt down and said, "Please ask my father to take back the official tooth bureau."
There is another risk, which is that now, to put it nicely, the Guanya Bureau is in charge of the Baoquan Bureau.
From now on, the two currencies, copper coins and silver, will operate smoothly and stably.
Maybe Lao Zhu wants to make banknotes again.
Then if he refused again, Lao Zhu got angry and directly asked Baoquan Bureau to take charge of Guanya Bureau.
He is just trying to draw water out of a bamboo basket.
Anyway, now that he has saved enough money, he is happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and let Lao Zhu do whatever he wants.
Lao Zhu stared at Zhu Bai, and the fire in his heart was rising: "This kid really doesn't know how to praise."
We wanted to ask him to rely on the money deposited in Guanyinzhuang to help with the circulation of copper coins, but he must have seen through us and refused to agree.
Moreover, he is really tough now. Whenever something goes wrong, he will use the Guanya Bureau to blackmail us. Whenever something goes wrong, he will use the Guanyang Bureau to blackmail us.
Are you trying to piss us off to death?
Zhu Biao saw that Lao Zhu looked like he wanted to kill someone again, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Father, this matter is important and needs long-term consideration."
Yes, this old twelfth-year-old’s bad temper is exactly the same as ours.
It won't work if you force him to do it.
It's better to take it slow and see if there is any other way.
Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and waved his hand to Zhu Bai: "Okay, okay, if I see you, a traitor like you, I will get angry and get out of here. Don't show up in front of us if you have nothing to do."
Zhu Bai immediately kowtowed obediently and said: "I will obey the imperial edict."
Then he exited and ran away quickly.
When Lao Zhu saw that this bastard didn't give him any room to turn, his breath became more and more blocked in his chest and he couldn't swallow it.
Seeing that Lao Zhu's face was not good, Zhu Biao hurriedly stepped forward to caress Lao Zhu's chest: "Father, don't be angry. My twelfth brother may have his own considerations."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath: "This guy is so cunning."
Zhu Biao thought for a while: "Father, why don't you let your son take charge of this matter of making money?"
Lao Zhu glanced at him: "Son, it's not that we favor your twelfth brother, but it's really difficult to do this well if you don't rely on Guanya Bureau and Guanyinzhuang. The thirteen chief secretaries must all be trustworthy.
.Think about it, even old guys like Chen De and Li Shanchang who have been with us for more than ten years can take bribes and bend the law, let alone others. We can only trust your twelfth brother."
Why were Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau stopped before?
It's because the officials there are too greedy.
If you give him a pound of copper, he can make one pound of copper coins by adding lead and iron. If you give him a pound of copper coins, he can make two pounds of copper coins.
Then he gave a pound of copper coins to the court and took the rest.
Zhu Biao has absolutely no problem controlling the direction in the big picture, but he is always more cunning than Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai spent his whole day hanging out in official offices, markets and courts, and thoroughly understood the rules of the government and the public.
Therefore, even the little actions of those officials could not escape his eyes.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, don't take such a big step. First, we will only open the Baoyuan Bureau in Yingtian, and the printed copper coins will only be used within the scope of Yingtian. If there is no problem, we will find a way to restore the ten
Three Baoquan bureaus.”
Lao Zhu sighed softly: "Okay. It doesn't matter if I let you try, you will be in charge after all."
During dinner in the evening, Lao Zhu decided to show off his face to Zhu Bai and make the traitor feel uncomfortable.
As a result, Zhu Bai didn't come.
He called the eunuch to deliver a message, saying that his nose was blocked and he might have caught the cold.
Lao Zhu had given an order before. If the princes feel unwell, they don't have to come to have dinner together.
Empress Ma didn't know why, so she just asked the imperial doctor to take a look and told Zhu Bai to have a good rest.
Lao Zhu had no place to vent his emotions that had been brewing all night, and he was suffocating himself.
Damn it, this bastard has been bouncing around all day long. He's clearly trying to avoid us if there's any wind or cold.
In the court hall the next day, Lao Zhu announced the restoration of Baoyuan Bureau, with Zhu Biao presiding over it, and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to cooperate with Zhu Biao.
Zhu Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Great. It is only circulated in Yingtianfu area, the risk is controllable, and Lao Zhu can also keep an eye on it personally.
Whatever Zhu Biao does, it has nothing to do with me.
Li Shanchang secretly winked at Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is important. In addition to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, I suggest that it be appropriate to send another highly respected veteran minister to assist the prince and supervise the officials."
Lao Zhu smiled half-heartedly: "Okay, who do you think is suitable?"
Hu Weiyong, on the other hand, found it difficult to speak out: "You can't be too obvious as a shill, otherwise you will get involved in it."
Liu Bowen came out and said: "I am not talented, but I am willing to help the prince."
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay. It's up to you."
Li Shanchang was so angry that his eyes went straight: Damn it, why did you get the advantage of Liu Shengun in the end?
