"Tell me, I need an explanation!" Old Zhu slapped the table angrily, but in the face of Old Zhu's anger, Li Jie and Zhu Xueqing both looked calm except Zhu Biao.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a long story. In fact, when I first mentioned the banking matter to you, the princess participated because I found that it was impossible to do the banking matter with my own ability. Later, I asked His Royal Highness the Prince to help him and let the princess come to Beijing with us, and then as my deputy, he helped me build the current bank." Li Jie told the truth directly.

"What a courage, don't you know that I have already stipulated that women are not allowed to interfere in politics. Now, you have just brought a woman to the officialdom. Do you think I am..."

When Lao Zhu said this, he suddenly stopped. He wanted to say, "Do you think I dare not kill you?", but he really couldn't bear to face Li Jie. After all, Li Jie was left behind because of Li Shanchang's affairs. Now if he was killed because of this little thing, it would be too unworthy, let alone Li Jie is still his grandson-in-law.

"Don't calm down. Li Jie has no choice but to do this. I hope his father will understand!" Zhu Biao couldn't help but plead for mercy. Although he had just blamed Li Jie for being a little reckless and did not even notify him in advance, he was his son-in-law after all, so he was reluctant to let something happen to Li Jie.

"Grandpa Emperor, this matter is actually the granddaughter who takes the initiative to participate. If you blame me, blame me!" At this time, Zhu Xueqing also stepped forward and bowed to Lao Zhu, and took the initiative to take the blame.

"Hmph!" Facing his son and granddaughter, Lao Zhu could not make any serious punishment. What's more, Li Jie and Zhu Xueqing established a bank and had made great contributions. If they were punished now, it would be unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, I have another reason to hand over the bank to the princess!" At this time, Li Jie suddenly stepped forward and bowed to Lao Zhu.

"What's the reason?" Old Zhu said angrily. Although he was reluctant to punish Li Jie and the others, it did not mean that he was not angry, because women's interference in politics was indeed one of the taboos in his heart.

"The world of Ming Dynasty was conquered by Your Majesty. The whole world is actually His Majesty's private property. If the Ming Dynasty is regarded as a big family, then His Majesty is the parent who is in charge of all matters in the family. As the saying goes, the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Therefore, for this family, a woman who controls property is also needed. Of course, the most suitable person for this woman is the queen, but the position of the queen has been suspended for many years, so the same is true for His Majesty's daughter or granddaughter."

Li Jie paused and then said, "The bank is an institution that manages his financial resources for His Majesty. His Majesty must know more about its importance than me. If such an important institution is in the hands of outsiders, it will inevitably make people suspicious. If it is in the hands of His Majesty's daughter or granddaughter, wouldn't it be more reassuring and more legitimate?"

Li Jie's fallacy also made Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao stunned. However, although he felt that the truth was very wrong, when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to make sense. As an emperor, family affairs and state affairs were one. It was not wrong to say that the bank was helping Lao Zhu manage his finances. Moreover, the male lead was the outside and the female lead was also reasonable. Even if the male lead was not here, it was common for the daughter or granddaughter to take charge of the family.

But so many correct principles are combined together, it always makes people feel uncomfortable, so it took a long time for Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao to turn around. On the contrary, Zhu Xueqing kept looking at Li Jie with a smile. When Li Jie said these words to her before, she was also stunned for a long time before she realized it.

"You guys have a lot of fallacies. Who told you that you have to manage your finances? Aren't all the officials in the household question all men?" Lao Zhu also recalled at this time, and immediately asked with a deep face. However, compared to before, there was no trace of anger in his tone, which was obviously a good phenomenon.

"Your Majesty, the bank is different from the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue is a big steward. The affairs managed are relatively complicated, while the bank is in charge of finance. The core is the issuance of paper money. It seems that it is not as powerful as the Ministry of Revenue. But in fact, the energy that can be exerted in the future is greater!" Li Jie also showed a very firm expression at the end of his speech.

As an important economic sector in later generations, banks played an extremely huge role, and even used some economic means to massacre cities and destroy the country, so Li Jie dared to say such words.

After hearing this, Lao Zhu also showed a thoughtful look. He no longer had any doubts about the importance of the bank, especially the smooth issuance of the new treasure banknotes. Now he has understood how wrong it was to issue treasure banknotes by himself before, so the bank must be managed by a trustworthy person. From this point of view, it seems that Zhu Xueqing is indeed very suitable.

"Father, although Xue Qing is a woman, since I saw her in Xi'an, I have found that her talent is not inferior to any man. If she really keeps her in the boudoir, it would be a waste of her talent. In addition, the bank affairs are inseparable from her now, so I hope my father will be kind!" Zhu Biao said at the end and also gave a tribute to Old Zhu Shen. He was not only a simple family affection for Zhu Xueqing, but also a loving talent. Otherwise, he would not have taken the risk to help Li Jie and the others.

After hearing this, Lao Zhu also thought about it. After a long time, he finally raised his head and said, "I need to think about this matter carefully, but before that, Xueqing, the bank's matters will be temporarily taken care of!"

"Grandpa Xie Huang!" Zhu Xueqing also excitedly stepped forward and said, although Lao Zhu said she wanted to consider it, Lao Zhu said she would temporarily manage the bank, which shows that Lao Zhu has recognized her ability and it is estimated that it will not take long before she will officially appoint her to take charge of the bank.

"Your Majesty, it's not enough to rely on the princess alone for such a big business in the bank. I think I can select the materials that can be made from the royal women, and the bank will be trained uniformly, and will be in charge of banks in various places in the future. In this way, the bank will not have to worry about no one being available in the future!" Li Jie suggested with a smile again.

The population of the Ming Dynasty was still too small, so Li Jie took his mind to these women. After all, the exploration fleet in the Americas has been sent out, and the era of great geographical discoveries is coming. The population of the Ming Dynasty alone is not enough to support such an era, so women must also shoulder the heavy responsibilities given by society and the country.
