"The value of gold is still relatively stable. Although gold will be mined in large quantities in the future, the amount of money needed will also increase. So compared to silver, I think gold is more suitable as a basic currency." Li Jie said to Zhu Xueqing with a serious expression.

After hearing Li Jie's answer, Zhu Xueqing finally understood the reason why Li Jie brought her to the banking treasury. For the established banking system, it is not easy to change the original currency, and maybe even chaos may occur, and these are things that she needs to consider.

"What is your attitude?" Zhu Xueqing thought for a long time, and finally raised her head and asked Li Jie. This matter was not something she and the bank could make a decision, but that it must be approved by the court, especially Zhu Yunyu's attitude was extremely critical.

"I haven't told him about this. After all, no matter what His Majesty's opinion is, I must get your consent first." Li Jie replied with a smile.

Seeing Li Jie attaching his opinions so much, Zhu Xueqing was also satisfied. Then she nodded and said, "Although this matter is very troublesome, it is not impossible to do it, so there must be no problem here. As long as the court nods, the bank can make some preparations in advance, and then replace silver with gold bit by bit."

"I feel relieved with you. I will find time to talk to Your Majesty about this matter, and I believe he will agree!" Li Jie immediately said excitedly when he heard this.

However, when he said this, Li Jie suddenly thought of something and immediately smiled again: "We should also take some of the silver in our hands. As far as I know, the Western Regions and other places still use silver as currency. The price of silver here is cheap, so we can trade with them with silver, which can take a considerable advantage!"

Li Jie's proposal was actually learned from later generations. A few hundred years later, European colonists discovered that the price of silver in the Ming Dynasty was too high, so they imported a large amount of silver into the Ming Dynasty, in exchange for a large amount of wealth. On the surface, the Ming Dynasty got a large amount of silver, but in fact they suffered a considerable loss.

Now Li Jie just follows the example, exporting the excess silver from the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, and then importing it from the Western Regions to West Asia and Europe. Although these places are obviously very poor compared to these places, there are also some commodities needed by the Ming Dynasty.

"I understand, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will do this carefully!" Zhu Xueqing also smiled slightly. She and Li Jie had developed an extremely tacit understanding, so as soon as Li Jie spoke, she knew what Li Jie was going to do.

It was still early, and Li Jie and Zhu Xueqing stayed in the silver treasury for a long time, and finally left until dusk. However, Li Jie did not rush back, but went to the exhibition again.

There is still a curfew in Beijing, but it is limited to the North City. The South City is an emerging commercial center. The curfew has been lifted long ago, so the exhibition is also open at night, even more lively than during the day. After all, most people have a lot of things to be busy during the day, and at night, they have time to come out and take a walk.

It is precisely because of this reason that the exhibition at night is like a daytime exhibition, which is a family-to-door trip. However, because there are too many people coming, the exhibition can only limit the flow of the exhibition. Each time a part of the people is put in, and it will be released again until someone comes out. But even so, it still does not affect people's interest in visiting.

The exhibition has such a huge traffic of people, which naturally attracted many vendors to do business. Therefore, outside the exhibition now, it has become a huge temporary market. Beijing City does not have law enforcement departments such as urban management, so the vendors here seem a bit chaotic, but they are also very lively.

Li Jie stood on the second floor and looked at the abortion below, and felt a little moved. Although the Ming Dynasty is much richer now, there are still many lacks in spiritual and cultural aspects. For example, just an exhibition of American products has attracted such a huge amount of abortions, especially so many people coming at night, which proves how boring these people are usually, and they probably don’t have much entertainment conditions after dinner.

Thinking about later generations, there are so many entertainments. If such an exhibition was held in later generations, I am afraid that few people would be interested in it. However, in this era, it has become a grand event for the whole nation. This is the huge gap between the two.

With Li Jie's understanding of this era, various entertainments are simply too scarce. Even rich people, at most, they can only listen to operas, appreciate singing and dancing, and play music, chess, calligraphy and painting with taste, and those who have no taste will go to brothels to spend time.

As for poor people or ordinary families, it is not easy for them to live in normal times and they have no time and energy to do any entertainment. Even if it is no longer difficult to fill their stomachs due to the promotion of various high-yield crops, entertainment is still a luxury rather than a necessity for ordinary people.

"The gap with later generations is still very big. Although the entertainment industry has raised various problems in later generations, it is still indispensable for a healthy and wealthy country. Now the Ming Dynasty still has great flaws in this regard." Li Jie also sighed at this time.

The next morning, Li Jie finally entered the palace again. Some time ago, he went to Xintu Island to meet Zhu Di and Zhang Dingbian. After returning, he was busy with the American Exhibition, so he had not entered the palace for a while.

Li Jie also came to the warm room soon. When Zhu Yunxiu learned about his arrival, he stood up happily to greet him. Then he handed a newly sent information to him and said, "Brother-in-law, look, this is just sent by the Jinyiwei from the Western Regions. I have to say that we did not choose the wrong person. Shahalu does have a few tricks!"

Hearing that this information was related to Shaharu, Li Jie immediately took it and opened it, then looked it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Shahharu mortgaged Ulube to the Ming Dynasty and then returned to Samarkand with the help of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Samarkand had changed its ruler several times. After all, after Timur's death, no one could suppress the local nobles, and even Timur's other sons could not do it. Therefore, the entire Timur Empire was in chaos, and several wars occurred in Samarkand, and the entire city was greatly damaged.

When Shaharu returned to Samarkand, he was in charge of his third brother Milansha, who was the father of Haril. Milansha was Timur's son and had heavy troops in his hand. He should have taken over the entire empire after Timur's death, but he was disabled and even worse than Timur, and he could not move his lower body, so many people did not obey him at all, and even joined forces to drive him out of Samarkand before.

However, Milansha still killed him with his own efforts and regained control of Samarkand. Shaharu also returned to Samarkand at this time. His relationship with Milansha was also very bad, and the form was extremely unfavorable to him.
