Hu Weiyong smiled: "Don't panic, Zhu Biao will definitely not be able to do it anymore. When he can't do it anymore, it will naturally be ours."
Chen Ning frowned: "Although the prince is loyal, there is a cunning Zhu Bai behind him. Why do you say he can't do it anymore?"
Hu Weiyong did not answer, but said: "Master Chen must have a lot of copper coins and banknotes issued before at home."
Chen Ning nodded: "Yes. Later, I couldn't use it at all. It was a pity to lose it, so I had to leave it alone."
Hu Weiyong: "Now that the imperial court has started to use copper coins again, these are also issued by the imperial court. They can be exchanged for silver at Guanyinzhuang. There are as many banknotes as there are pieces of paper. I want to see how long this Zhu Bai can last.
."
Someone took the previous banknotes and went to Guanyinzhuang to exchange for silver.
The shopkeeper of Guanyin Village refused without thinking: "I'm sorry, the shop only changes copper coins."
The other party said loudly: "This banknote was also issued by the imperial court, why can't it be used?"
Shopkeeper: "But the court also said that this time it will only be exchanged for copper coins. Moreover, the court announced that these banknotes will be invalidated a few years ago. Now you are exchanging them for silver. Are you trying to blackmail us?"
The man took a step back and said, "You want to default on your debt, so you framed me like this."
The shopkeeper said: "Here comes someone!"
Upon hearing this, the guards from the Guanya Bureau responded in unison: "Yes."
Shopkeeper: "Why don't you arrest him? He's someone who dares to blackmail even the officialdom. He doesn't know how to commit crimes. If you arrest him, you're doing something for the people!"
Guard: "Yes!"
The man didn't even bother to take the banknotes, turned around and ran away, disappearing around the corner of the street.
The shopkeeper smiled: Our young prince is really good at predicting things. He told us in advance that someone would definitely exchange banknotes for silver.
If I hadn't been in the spirit of "harmony brings wealth", I wouldn't look at this person as a habitual offender, so I wouldn't bother to talk more.
The person who came to exchange the banknotes for silver was originally a distant relative of Chen Ning.
At this moment, he went back to resume his duties with Chen Ning, panting and waving his hands: "No, no, no. That young prince is so powerful that he won't accept the move at all. If anyone dares to take this over again, he will be sent to the government directly. It scared me.
."
He found a suitable opportunity to tell Hu Weiyong about this, smacking his lips and saying, "This young prince is really powerful."
Hu Weiyong twisted his beard: "It doesn't matter. This young prince has always been the most difficult one to deal with. Even just exchanging copper coins is enough for him."

Except for Wang Baobao, the Mongols have no one they can fight.
Wang Baobao disappeared again. Lan Yu and Deng Yu were always spending time in northern Xinjiang. There were so many people doing nothing but eating, drinking and sleeping, which was too expensive.
Therefore, Old Zhu En ordered both groups to return to court.
Doing the math, they can probably make it to the end of the day before the Lunar New Year.
Zhu Bai was very excited. He grabbed Fugui and shook him hard, shouting: "Damn it, my big brother Lan is coming back!!"
Fugui couldn't laugh or cry: The master of his family really has no idea about seniority, so he can call him whatever he wants.
Lan Yu is the uncle of the Crown Princess, so Zhu Bai must at least follow Zhu Biao and call him uncle.
As a result, as soon as Zhu Bai became happy, he and Lan Yu hooked up, and the "eldest brother" was longer and the "elder brother" was shorter, without any look of juniors.
The blame lies here.
Lan Yu was usually extremely rude and arrogant. If others dared to treat him like this, they would have resorted to knife or gun. However, he was extremely tolerant of Zhu Bo, treating him like a brother even though he laughed and scolded him.
It's just that "since ancient times, beauty and good generals have never been allowed to grow old in the world."
Deng Yu walked less than a hundred miles away from Yingtian when he suddenly fell ill and fell into coma.
While Mu Ying asked people to hurry up and report the news to Lao Zhu, she spent a lot of money to find a good doctor on the spot.
After Lao Zhu received the letter, he immediately sent an imperial doctor there.
As a result, Deng Yu passed away before the imperial doctor could arrive.
Zhu Bai guessed that Deng Yu might have suffered a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage because he often stayed up late at night, otherwise he would not have developed the disease without any warning and would have burped so quickly.
Speaking of which, military generals are a high-risk profession with high returns and high risks.
Although it is easy to obtain rewards, it is also easy to die early.
When Lao Zhu heard the news, he burst into tears and rested for three days. He personally welcomed Deng Yu's coffin to pay homage. He posthumously named Deng Yu the King of Ninghe, with the posthumous title of Wu Shun, and his portrait was hung in the Ancestral Temple for sacrifice.
He also ordered Deng Yu's eldest son Deng Zhen to carry the coffin back to his hometown Sizhou for burial.
When Deng Zhiqiu heard the news in Qin, she was so heartbroken that she almost fainted from tears. Shangzhezi begged Lao Zhu to let her come back to say goodbye to her father.
Lao Zhu only replied with a few words: "You are now the concubine of King Qin."
It means that even the King of Qin cannot leave Qin, let alone your concubine, so just stay in Xi'an.
In order to restrain Zhu Feng, Lao Zhu appointed Zhou Bin, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, as the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, Si Zuo, to participate in politics after Zhu Fang left his fiefdom.
The intention is obvious, that is, to restrain Zhu Ping by law.
It is said that Deng Zhiqiu cried and fussed for a long time in the palace of the King of Qin, saying how could anyone destroy human relations like this? His own father died and he was not allowed to attend the funeral.
She didn't care about the emperor's orders or not, she just wanted to go back.
Zhu Fang tried hard to persuade Deng Zhiqiu: If she dares to resist the decree, no matter how much Zhu thinks of Deng Yu, he will kill her without hesitation.
Deng Zhiqiu ignored him and started to pack his luggage while crying.
Zhu Chong was reluctant to use force, had no other solution, and was anxious and angry. He just asked people to close the palace tightly and guard Deng Zhiqiu personally, fearing that if he didn't pay attention, she would respond secretly.
Finally, Deng Zhen asked someone to send a letter home, vaguely reminding Deng Zhiqiu: There is no use in making trouble, the emperor's order is the emperor's order.
The only person who could protect her was dead, and the only capital she could rely on was gone.
Lao Zhu didn't like her to begin with.
If she continues to make trouble and angers Lao Zhu, not only will she not be able to return to Yingtian, but she may not be able to save her concubine and everything the Deng family has now.
Deng Zhiqiu was suddenly enlightened and suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
She no longer dared to make noises or talk nonsense, and would just shut herself in her room and cry silently every day.
In the end, Zhu Xi promised her on the bed that he would divorce Wang Xiaoyue within two years and help her become the concubine.
Deng Zhiqiu then let go of the matter and returned to his former domineering and arrogant nature.
Lao Zhu clearly relied on this incident to set an example for all princes: You are the vassal king. Unless I give an order, you and your wives, concubines, and descendants will have to stay in the circle I drew for you for the rest of your life.

When Lan Yu and others came back, Zhu Biao went to the north gate to greet them on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Bai also followed.
The sapphire had a large circle of black, and the beard became more messy and curled, like a black bear.
Zhu Bai couldn't help laughing when he saw him.
Lan Yu and the others bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao, exchanged a few words, and then dispersed.
As soon as Lan Yu waited for the others to leave, she hugged Zhu Bai and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, boy, you have grown a lot taller."
Zhu Bai grinned: "Isn't it? I have finally grown taller."
Then Zhu Bai invited Lan Yu to his restaurant for dinner and ordered a large table of delicious dishes.
Lan Yu had a great meal, and Hu Zhihai stuffed a chicken, half a lamb leg, and a small bowl of rice before slowing down and sighing: "Damn it, it's been a year, and I can finally have a good meal."
