Chapter 384: Zhengyang Avenue(2/2)

And the hundreds of treasure banknotes are also a great reward for these officials who work day and night on research.

"Thank you, His Highness Taisun, for the gift!"

Before the Obaro craftsmen could understand, the officials and craftsmen were already kneeling in a row, chanting fervently.

However, Oubaluo craftsmen naturally have their own intelligence. Regardless of whether they can understand it or not, since the Ming officials in front of them knelt down, they just followed suit.

Zhu Ying waved her hand, and then ordered: "Call a few strong men and bring sledgehammers, and let me test how hard this cement road is."

After hearing His Highness Taisun's order, six strong men holding sledgehammers came over a moment later.

Under Zhu Ying's guidance, he smashed hard against the concrete floor.

The gravel splashed everywhere, and several smart eunuchs immediately stood in front of His Highness Taisun, forming a human wall to prevent them from being splashed by the gravel.

After a random smashing, the originally intact road surface was smashed into potholes.

Zhu Ying signaled to stop, then stepped forward to check.

I am extremely satisfied with the current cement effect. This feeling is comparable to the rural roads of later generations.

"Instruct the Chamber of Commerce to immediately stockpile cement-related raw materials, no matter how much, and buy them at the lowest price."

"In addition, the treasure banknotes placed in the shops and houses on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue will be packed in wooden boxes for later use, waiting for instructions from this palace."

After reading it, Zhu Ying thought about it in her mind and gave her instructions.

"Follow the order." Ye Yueqing replied.

At noon the next day, outside Wulong Square.

The appearance of hundreds of uniformed guards attracted a lot of attention, and the Department of Public Security maintained order.

A large number of people gathered and were not dispersed. The more than ten wooden boxes of the Jinyiwei in the front row made people look at them involuntarily.

"Unboxing!"

With a loud shout, more than ten boxes were opened immediately.

People looked closely and saw that each box was stacked full of treasure banknotes.

"So many treasures, God, this is the first time I have seen so many treasures."

"What is Jin Yiwei doing? Did he just ransack his house from somewhere?"

"If I could have so much, no, even half of it, I would be rich."

"What half? I've made a fortune with half a box. I don't know what Jin Yiwei is going to do with so many treasures all of a sudden."

Treasure notes were very common in the Ming Dynasty.

There are also many denominations, such as one hundred coins, five hundred coins, and so on.

In the early Ming Dynasty, when the economy was not so prosperous, a lot of treasure banknotes were issued. Even some big families could take out millions of banknotes. But to the common people, millions of banknotes stacked together were simply too much.

It is a visual impact that I have never experienced before.

This feeling is like the impact of millions of cash in Zhu Ying's previous life.

When placed in a bank, it's just a number, but when it's turned into cash, no one can't help but be shocked by it.

Yesterday, Zhu Ying was preparing to use a large amount of treasure money to shock the senses of the people in the capital.

In the crowd of more than 100,000 people, Jin Yiwei was seen slowly moving forward holding a wooden box of treasures in his hands.

In front of this, there were several officials, holding brochures in hand, and walked to the first store on Zhengyang Avenue.

"Wenxuan Pavilion, according to the decree of Emperor Taisun, the first floor is filled with two banknotes per square, and the second floor upwards is filled with one banknote per square, totaling one hundred and seventy-six banknotes. There may be some doubts."

The official from the Ministry of Revenue said seriously.

The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and replied: "I have no doubts."

The Ministry of Revenue official nodded, handed out his pen and said, "Just sign and seal it here."

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of royal guards and several officials, the shopkeeper dared not be negligent. Under the guidance of the officials, he quickly wrote Wenxuan Pavilion and his own name with trembling hands.

At the same time, the house deed was also handed over.

After taking the house deed, the Ministry of Revenue official nodded, and then another official counted one hundred and seventy-six guan notes from Jin Yiwei and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The shopkeeper tightly grasped the banknote in his hand and bowed with excitement.

"There is no need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank His Highness Taisun." The Ministry of Revenue official waved his hand and left directly.

It's still very busy to finish all these shops today.

Of course, he was not the only one, there were more than a dozen officials acting together, and behind each official would be a guard carrying a wooden box of treasures.

There were also two teams of guards in uniform.

boom!

The crowd immediately exploded.

After a simple explanation, the people finally understood that the treasure notes in these wooden boxes were actually prepared for the shops on both sides of Zhengyang Avenue.

One hundred and seventy-six guan banknotes, I'm so cute.

How many years does it take to earn this?

Wenxuan Pavilion is not a big shop. It mainly sells pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The business is not bad, but when it comes to how much money it makes, that's it.

After all, there are only so many scholars.

According to the current market price, a store like Wenxuan Pavilion in Yahang costs about 120 guan.

Now the premium is so much.

In everyone's opinion, this is a waste of money.

The most important thing is that this is a royal collection.

In this world, everyone belongs to the royal family. Even if you don't give money, you are considering yourself unlucky.

Not to mention the royal family, local governments, nobles, and even landlords and gentry basically have no subsidies at all when the government collects taxes.

Many people have long been accustomed to this.

But today's scene almost broke their cognition.

"His Royal Highness Taisun is benevolent and righteous!!!"

A loud shout suddenly came from the crowd.

After a moment's pause, a large number of people were mobilized and started shouting.

People have the mentality of blind obedience, both in ancient and modern times. Suddenly His Highness the Grand Sun's shouts continued like a wave.

Just when the crowd was cheering for this, in a corner.

"Damn it, why did something like this suddenly happen at this time? It has obviously given him a reputation as a tyrant."
