Chapter 304 Why not use treasure money?
Two days later, Luo Guanzhong left Beijing, and Li Jie and Zhu Yunqi also went to see him off. Although Luo Guanzhong had already become famous in the capital, he did not like to interact with others very much, so he only informed Li Jie this time. Li Jie brought Zhu Yunqi with him again. After the three of them bid farewell at the dock, Li Jie also sent four trusted guards to escort him on the boat, and then the three of them waved goodbye.
After Luo Guanzhong's ship walked away, Zhu Yunxiu couldn't help but sigh and said, "With Mr. Luo's age, this farewell will probably be a farewell forever!"
"Yes, but Mr. Luo has been wandering outside for many years, and this time he has returned home in glory. I hope he can live a stable old age!" Li Jie also said with some emotion.
"That's true, but I didn't expect that writing books would be so profitable. There were several large boxes of gold and silver carried on the boat just now. It's really rich!" Zhu Yunxiu said at the end, and he showed a jealous look. Although he was the emperor's grandson, his monthly money was also very limited. Sometimes he wanted to buy some expensive things, and he might have to save money for several months.
"It's not that you can make money by writing books, but that you can write good books and print them smoothly to make money. Otherwise, just like Mr. Luo before, no one is willing to help him print books. In addition, there are more people who may not even write books well, let alone make money." Li Jie corrected.
Zhu Yunyu nodded again when he heard this, but then he said with some confusion: "Since Mr. Luo has made so much money, why not exchange gold and silver for treasure money? Isn't this easier to carry?"
"Baochao? Don't you know the depreciation of Baochao?" Li Jie also looked at Zhu Yunxiu speechlessly after hearing this.
"I know, but even if it depreciates, he can change it to Baochao and bring it back to Suzhou, and then it will be fine. Anyway, the capital is not far from Suzhou. In just a few days, I think even if it depreciates, it will not be much depreciated, right?" Zhu Yunxiu said wisely again.
"You! You are still too young!" Li Jie also explained again when he heard this, "The Baochao is no longer a depreciation problem, but many people are unwilling to collect it at all. It's okay in the capital. After all, even if the Baochao is depreciated, it can be spent at least. However, when you go to other places, the Baochao is not only of lower value, but many businesses are unwilling to collect it. Like Mr. Luo, if they are all replaced with Baochao, it would be very good to exchange half of the gold and silver in Suzhou."
"So serious?" Zhu Yunxiu said in even more shocked when he heard this. In the past, he only knew that Baochao depreciated, but he only acted in the capital. He had no idea that the outside world was so disgusted with Baochao.
"It will only be more serious in the future, and even the treasure banknotes will be turned into waste paper!" Li Jie asserted again. This is also a historical fact that happened in history. The treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty are the best example of a country's indiscriminate issuance of currency. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has another monetary system, so there is no big turmoil.
"Is there any solution? I think Baochao is quite convenient, at least it is easier to carry than gold, silver and copper coins." Zhu Yunxi asked anxiously when he heard this. He had begun to contact the government affairs now. Although he didn't know much about Baochao, he vaguely felt that Baochao was an important means of making money by the court.
"There are solutions, but I guess Your Majesty will definitely not agree." Li Jie thought about it and replied that he had noticed Baochao for a long time, and had been considering a way to break the deadlock, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a dead end, because the first step could not be achieved.
"Why does Grandpa Emperor disagree?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"Even if Baochao depreciates, it is still a great source of wealth for the court. Although it is a waste of water, at least it can have an additional income every year, which can solve many problems of the court. If you want to solve the problem of Baochao depreciation, you not only cannot make money at first, but you also need the court to pay money in it. Do you think Your Majesty will agree?" Li Jie said helplessly again.
"What should I do? I won't watch the treasure money turn into waste paper?" Zhu Yunxiu asked even more anxiously after hearing this.
"That's not true, but the key to this matter is not here, but depends on your second uncle's performance." Li Jie turned and smiled again.
"My second uncle? Wasn't he demoted to Japan?" Zhu Yunxi asked even more puzzled when he heard this.
"Yes, he went to Japan to mine silver. If the Japanese silver could be mined as soon as possible, the court would have a financial way to replace Baochao. In addition, if the Baochao does not depreciate, it would need to be linked to the value of gold and silver. So it is useless to be anxious now. It's better to wait for news from your second uncle honestly." Li Jie explained again. This was also the only way he could think of to solve the Baochao problem.
"It's so complicated. Did you think of the question of Baochao when you mentioned that there was a silver mine in Japan?" Zhu Yunxiong sighed and asked again.
"It's almost the same. I can tell you that the value of the treasure banknote is much greater than what everyone sees now. Even those who issued the treasure banknotes by the imperial court did not understand the real value of the treasure banknotes. It's just that this matter is too urgent. After the silver from Japan is shipped back in the future, let's write a memorial and hand it over to His Majesty for the ruling!" Li Jie also showed a serious expression at the end of his speech. He wanted to do a lot of things, but unfortunately many things took time.
"I understand. Can you tell me more about treasure money in the future? I also want to help you a little more in the future?" Zhu Yunhuang nodded thoughtfully, and then took the initiative to ask.
"Of course there is no problem with this. Even if you don't want to learn, I will force you to learn. After all, if you want to manage a country well, it's not okay to not understand finance or finance." Li Jie also smiled immediately. Since Zhu Yunyu made it clear that he wanted to fight for that position, Li Jie didn't have to cover up his words. Of course, this is limited to the two of them, and some words are still inconvenient for outsiders to hear.
"Let's go, your sister entered the palace early this morning. Maybe she has arranged a chance to meet Miss Fan!" Li Jie suddenly spoke again at this time. He had already agreed to Zhu Yunsheng before, and it was finally possible today.
"Really? That's great. Let's go back to the palace!" Zhu Yunxiu clapped his hands excitedly when he heard this, pulled Li Jie and walked to the carriage. When he got on the carriage, he urged the driver to hurry up. Seeing his anxious look, he wanted to put on his wings and fly back to the palace.
Sure enough, when Li Jie and Zhu Yunxi returned to the palace, they were immediately called to their original bedroom by Zhu Yuning. It was the first time Li Jie came here. After all, he couldn't get in at all before, but now he is married to Zhu Yuning, so there is no need to avoid it.
Zhu Yunxiu almost ran all the way, and Li Jie almost couldn't keep up with him. Finally, when the two entered Zhu Yuning's original bedroom, they found that there were four women chatting in the front hall. Zhu Yunxiu saw Miss Fan at first glance, Li Jie saw Zhu Yuning and Zhu Xueqing, and Zhu Yuqing next to him.
"Sister! I..." Zhu Yunxiu was excited when he saw Miss Fan, and then went forward to ask Zhu Yuning, but at the beginning he was embarrassed to continue talking.
"Hehe~, Yun'er has been waiting for you for a long time. You two go to the side room to chat. We won't bother you!" Zhu Yuning also covered her mouth and smiled.
Fan Yuner was also shy at this time and didn't dare to look up at Zhu Yunxi. However, she stood up when she heard Zhu Yuning's words, and then saluted to the three sisters. Then she went to the side hall with Zhu Yunxi.
"I'm really right. After coming in just now, I only stared at my future wife, but didn't even look at us!" Zhu Yuqing next to me said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, the young couple met again after a long separation. Of course, there is a lot to say. When they get married in the future, our sisters will become outsiders!" Zhu Xueqing opposite him also smiled.
Zhu Yuning pulled Li Jie down at this time, and then said to the two sisters: "You two sisters are so embarrassed to say that Yun Yu is already engaged. Should you two consider your lifelong affairs?"
"I'm not getting married!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Xueqing and Zhu Yuqing actually said in unison.
"Huh? When you two actually agree, is the sun coming out from the west?" Zhu Yuning said in surprise when he heard this.
"Brother-in-law, just ignore your elder sister. She always bullies us!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Xueqing shouted at Li Jie at this time.
"I don't dare to care about your sisters' affairs!" Li Jie waved his hand quickly. He didn't expect that Zhu Xueqing and Zhu Yuqing were all here, so he didn't speak after he came in just now. After sitting down, he only cared about tea.
"Brother-in-law, do you recognize any young talent outside? Can Xueqing introduce him to let him get married soon? After all, she is one year older than me, and she should get married first if she wants to get married!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuqing suddenly pointed at Zhu Xueqing and said.
"I know a lot of young talents, how about I'll introduce you to you?" Li Jie replied with a smile. When facing his two sister-in-law, of course, he had to give him a bowl of water.
"Yes, you two are both old and old. Let your brother-in-law pay attention to you. If there is a suitable one in the future, I will report to my father directly. How about helping you get the wedding?" Zhu Yuning said very seriously at this time. As the saying goes, the elder sister is like a mother, Zhu Xueqing's family is special, and Zhu Yuqing is her only sister, so she has to worry about the marriage.
"No, I won't get married!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuqing opposed it again, and his attitude was very firm.
"I don't want it either!" Zhu Xueqing refused at this time, but when she said this, her eyes rolled and suddenly pointed at Li Jie and said, "My elder sister can do it, but she must find a man who is no worse than her brother-in-law, otherwise I will not get married!"
"That's right, I also want to find someone who is no worse than my brother-in-law, otherwise I won't want me to get married!" Zhu Yuqing also started to cheer, and Zhu Yuning was so angry that he had no choice.
