Ru Taisu did not dare to have an attack, so he angrily led people to use a carriage to pull the copper coins away.
He was puzzled and ran to ask Hu Weiyong: "Master Hu, how did the 'little king of hell' get the copper mine."
Hu Weiyong sighed: "We are still too pedantic. He directly asked the people from the Guanya Bureau to take the imperial edict to the copper mine to pick up the goods, without going through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Household Affairs at all."
Ru Taisu was stunned.
That's right, the Guanya Bureau has carriages and people who travel to various places every day. Where can I find him, the household department, to put on Zhu Bai's shoes?
He considers himself a scholar and cannot use foul language, but his heart is already full of energy.
Damn it, this little King of Hell always doesn’t play his cards according to common sense and still allows people to live?!
He gritted his teeth and said: "This Guanya Bureau is really a cancer. If we don't pull it out, not only you and me, but also the Liubu and Zhu Biao will be controlled by Zhu Bai in the future."
Hu Weiyong nodded: "I want to think of something."
But it is not to destroy the officialdom, but to take it as one's own.
This is a money tree, and its roots penetrate all the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The branches are covered with gold, silver and jewels.
At least shake it a little, and the wealth will fall like snowflakes and flow down the branches to the heart of Yingtian.
But in what way?
Liu Bowen is so cunning and he is Zhu Bai's teacher, Zhu Biao is Zhu Bai's brother, but they have tried several times but failed.
What can he do?
First-level official and dental bureaus in various places began to mint copper coins according to the number specified by Zhu Bo, including the Peking official and dental bureau managed by Zhu Di.
The chief of each first-level tooth bureau also serves as the chief of the Baoquan bureau. If there are any problems, it is also the chief who will be held accountable.
The second-level and third-level official bureaus can only pay and recycle, but cannot mint money. If they are found to mint copper coins privately, they will be punished as treason.
After Zhu Bai got the share of brass from Lao Zhu, he distributed it according to the amount of money minted by each official bureau.
Of course, he will not give all 50% of the fire cost to the official department below, but only 20%, and he will keep the rest in the "Arsenal Workshop" to make weapons.
Zhu Bai stipulated that during the six-month trial period, only silver would be used for settlements between various government bureaus and the general bureau.
When casting money, the name and symbol of the official bureau to which it belongs must be written on it.
The money minted by each Baoquan Bureau is temporarily only circulated in the Provincial Government Department.
Once a random inspection reveals that the newly minted copper coins are adulterated and lack weight, they will be severely punished.
Zhu Bai set up a line of defense to prevent unqualified copper coins minted by one government agency from being exchanged for silver or recycled by other government agencies.
In this way, only the government will suffer when recycling.
Zhu Bai has already been burned out. Other businesses in the Guan Ya Bureau are easier to make money than this. If you lose your position as the chief tooth of the Guan Ya Bureau and even your life if you are greedy for this, it is like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
The dozens of human beings selected by Zhu Bai can basically calculate the risks and benefits, so they won't do this.
Both the Huaixi sect and the Yanguan sect are beating their chests and feet: The King of Xiang will definitely not lose his tail and become a scourge to our Ming Dynasty.
Some people in Huaixi and Yanguan claimed that Zhu Baizhu's money could not be used.
However, Zhu Bai's money calculated the weight of each copper coin based on the market price of brass and silver. In other words, one thousand new coins was indeed worth one tael of silver.
Moreover, if the copper coins are not deliberately damaged, no matter how old they are, Baoquan Bureau will guarantee to collect them, and Guanya Bureau will guarantee them.
Originally, the common people thought that when buying something worth a few pennies, they had to bring broken silver, cut it up and weigh it, which would have a large error and be too troublesome. Now, since copper coins are guaranteed by the government agencies, they are genuine.
Then use it.
Zhu Bai originally planned to invest 100,000 copper coins in each first-level official bureau within this year and take his time.
In order to encourage exchange, people were given discounts when redeeming 100,000 copper coins.
One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand and fifty wen.
As a result, everyone wanted this discount, and all 100,000 copper coins were redeemed in one day.
Zhu Bai asked the various government agencies to rush to produce one million coins, and all of them were redeemed before the year.
Newly minted copper coins are now being used in wine shops and stalls everywhere.
If there is any inconvenience, it is that if you want to use copper coins across places, you must first exchange them for silver locally and then go to another place to exchange the silver for copper coins.
However, the second-level and third-level official and dental bureaus are located in all counties and counties, so it is not very troublesome.
-----
Sure enough, as everyone expected, eight to nine percent of the candidates chose the "passenger carriage" of the Guanya Bureau to come to Yingtian from various places.
Candidates arrive at the gate of the Guanya General Administration every day and stay in various "Juren Inns".
Everyone looked at these carriages as if they were seeing silver flowing into the Guan Ya Bureau, biting their fingers with envy and hatred.
Not only that, there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the counter of the inn, all kinds of novel stationery, maps and scriptures, "high school champion" charms, towels, candles, water basins, bedding, shoes, socks, clothes, etc., all kinds of commodities.
The inn also provides three meals a day, tea, and fruit snacks.
If you don't like to eat inn food, you can order from the menu and have it delivered by Zhu Bai's restaurant.
If you have a headache or a fever, the inn can help you get a doctor to prepare some medicine.
In other words, if people don't want to go out, they can solve everything in the inn.
Train services.
Of course, these all cost money.
This also means that there is less money left for outside stores to earn.
In fact, Zhu Bai made money secondly, but mainly to prevent these future pillars of the Ming Empire from having any accidents on the road or in Yingtian City.
-----
As the New Year approaches, everyone is relaxing, and restaurants and restaurants are overcrowded every day.
Zhu Bai's restaurant business is also extremely good.
From time to time he would change into casual clothes, sit there, perform dental rituals, and listen to the chats of the guests.
Sometimes important information and business opportunities are hidden in these seemingly insignificant chats.
"Hey, do you know? Stalagmites sprouted out of the well in the Dingyuan hometown of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong. I even went to see them. They were white and pointed, really like bamboo shoots, and they popped up several feet above the water.
Do you think it’s strange or not?”
"Oh, let me tell you something even more magical. The graves of three generations of his grandfathers glow red at night, lighting up the night sky and can be seen from a mile away."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"Crazy, who would go to the cemetery in the middle of the night to see this?"
Zhu Bai secretly laughed: Tsk, tsk, tsk, Hu Weiyong is still not brave enough and is secretive.
Look at how domineering Liu Bang is, he directly said that he was the son of the White Emperor.
The news quickly spread throughout Yingtian City.
There was an endless stream of people entering Hu Mansion from the front door and the back door to give gifts and congratulations.
Even when Hu Weiyong came to the Imperial College, Ouyang Lun and others gathered around to congratulate him.
This one said: "Master Hu, this is an auspicious sign."
The one who said: "Master Hu is the chosen one."
Of course, these students only dare to come forward after class.
Although Wu Bozong was kicked out of the Imperial College, his rectification was still very effective.
As long as they didn't disturb class, Liu Bowen and the others would pretend they didn't hear these flattering voices.
