Chapter 545(1/2)

Zhu Houzhao stuffed the newly replaced Hongzhi silver notes into his arms and walked over with a respectful look on his face: "My son, Houzhao, have seen his father."

Yan Chengjin was amazed that this guy could always enter the role of a filial son at the speed of light.

Emperor Hongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are here to save money?"

"The father was worried too much, and the son was just thinking it was novel, so he came to see it and returned to the palace." Zhu Houzhao did not look sideways.

He is obviously serious, but in the eyes of Li Dongyang and others, he always feels something is wrong.

Yan Chengjin knew that Zhu Houzhao was here to save money.

Twenty-five thousand taels of silver bills are easier to hide than silver.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously disbelief and signaled to Xiao Jing and Mou Bin: "Search."

"Your Highness has offended you."

Xiao Jing and Mou Bin each held their own hands and found new silver notes from Zhu Houzhao's arms, which was still very popular.

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly frightened: "Where did you get so much money?"

Zhu Houzhao said resentfully: "The son was deceived by his ability, and Lao Gao is a co-conspirator."

Li Dongyang and his men had a stiff face and cheated him for 25,000 taels?

According to the Ming law, twenty-year-olds should be added and exiled to the border to serve.

Yan Chengjin wanted to sew Zhu Houzhao's mouth: "This is the silver from the Hou of Shouning. His Majesty only searched half of it last time."

You betrayed the minister first.

Zhu Houzhao became anxious and quickly calmed down: "Father, this money is the dowry that the son minister wants to save to Xiuyan."

Nonsense, you obviously want to recruit soldiers and go to the grassland to have fun.

Yan Chengjin turned his head slightly, and Zhu Houzhao also learned Wang Shouren's attack.

Emperor Hongzhi felt soft-hearted when he thought of this filial piety. The most valuable thing inside the palace wall was brotherhood.

The prince was very relieved to think about his young sister.

"I won't accept your money."

The silver notes were back in Zhu Houzhao's hands.

Emperor Hongzhi and his group stood in front of the door of the business for a long time, feeling a little disappointed. The Hongzhi silver bills represent the credibility of Emperor Hongzhi.

There is no one to exchange silver notes, which means that the people do not believe in Emperor Hongzhi.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi felt a little disappointed.

Yan Chengjin comforted: "In the eyes of merchants, Hongzhi silver notes are the same as Daming Tongbao, so they are not trusted."

Emperor Hongzhi and the Dukes understood this principle, but how can merchants exchange silver notes?

The imperial edict has only been announced to the world for three days, but it cannot be withdrawn immediately.

Even if it is withdrawn, it will be useless. A large amount of silver flows in will make the money worthless.

Can you still dig the silver from the mine?

Emperor Hongzhi comforted himself: "I think it will improve tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty said so much. The news has only been released for two days. Maybe tomorrow, merchants will come to exchange silver notes." Xie Qian added.

Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace with a hint of luck.

There is endless stream of chessboard streets, and merchants may stop and watch, but no one will walk into the business in exchange for silver notes.

Even fools can tell that this is changing the soup or not.

The court just changed the name of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes and called them Hongzhi silver bills. Are you cheating fools?

Yan Chengjin said to Wang Busui: "Why is there no one saving silver?"

"You don't have any officials... You don't have any officials, how can the gentry dare to have?" Wang Busui had a bitter face.

I was worried that the silver would depreciate, but I was afraid that the money I saved would be occupied by the court.

Although he was panicked, he dared not survive.

However, these words aroused Yan Chengjin.

Officials and gentry can touch on major events in the court, and play the role of a vane among gentry.

The gentry sees that officials and gentry don’t exist, so how dare they survive?

Although it is inconvenient to travel through mountains and rivers and trade in silver, it is safe to have only the medicine of silver in your hands.

Yan Chengjin ordered people to prepare sedan chairs and came to Li's mansion to meet Li Dongyang.

"Duke Li knows why gentry didn't save money?"

Li Dongyang's eyes were bright and he showed a charitable and meaningful smile: "Do you know?"

"If all officials do not exist, the gentry dare not exist."

Yan Chengjin knew that if he gave advice directly, he would stand in a hostile position with all officials and needed Li Dongyang to support him.

Li Dongyang fell into deep thought.

In other words, it means letting all officials deposit silver first, exchange it for silver notes, and then calling on merchants to deposit silver.

Those who give advice will definitely make all officials dislike each other. No wonder this guy comes to him.

"What do you want me to do?"

"The officials will give advice tomorrow, and I will ask Mr. Li to help the officials, and discuss with you."

Li Dongyang's expression of relief gradually turned into contempt.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing: "Is anyone going to save money in the court's business?"

"Report to Your Majesty, just like the day before yesterday, there is only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Hongzhi looked melancholy, stood up from the imperial throne, and walked a few steps in front of the imperial throne.

There is no way to issue an imperial edict to let the government supervise the people to deposit the money.

In that case, wouldn't I become a tyrant?

"What do you think, how to deal with it?"

Liu Jian and his friends looked at each other in a daze and were at a loss.

Yan Chengjin glanced at Li Dongyang and sent a secret code.

Immediately, he stood up and said, "I have three advices, which should be feasible."

Emperor Hongzhi turned his head slightly, looked at Yan Chengjin, and his eyes signaled: You continue.

"The first thing is to ask all officials to exchange the bank in their family for silver notes.

Article 2: The salary of officials is paid in proportion to 50% of the color discount, and it is exchanged for silver notes.

Article 3: The court made the bank reserves in the business name publicly.”

The business name is no one because the gentry does not believe in officials.

If even the officials exchange the silver bill, even if the whole people do not exchange it, it will at least have a leading role.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Yan Chengjin's."

"Yes, why don't you change it yourself? You even exchanged all the money for the mansion!"

All the officials were angry and glared at Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin retreated to the team, and the rest could only be seen by Li Dongyang.

At this moment, Li Dongyang bowed: "Teacher is to be effective, and the superiors do it and the inferiors do it. The ministers do not change silver bills, so naturally the gentry will not change silver bills.

I am willing to exchange all the silver in my family."

As soon as this statement was spoken, all officials refuted speechlessly.

The silver notes were issued by His Majesty, and you can’t say that they are a lie in front of His Majesty.

Liu Jian thought for a moment and felt it was very reasonable.

"If even officials don't believe it, how can the people believe it?"

"Then according to the old system, you will pay 50% of the salary of officials, issue silver notes, and deposit the bank deposited in the business to see the future."

All the officials bowed slightly.

On Qipan Street, the business suddenly became very lively.

The housekeeper in the cabinet minister's office ordered his servants to carry the silver to the business, and opened boxes of silver, which made the onlookers say that they had never seen so much silver.

Yan Chengjin ordered that the gentry of Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce deposit the silver from the mansion into the business name.

Although the gentry were reluctant, they dared not refuse to obey.
