. Zhang Juzheng was ordered to come to Prince Yu's mansion, but found that Chen Si was also here. Although he was a little surprised, he still greeted Shen Mo very intimately. Chen Si responded with a smile on his face, just like a reunion of an old friend. But both of them knew in their hearts that even though their ambitions had never changed, their relationship had changed a little...

But in King Yu's opinion, it was a great blessing for two rare talents to gather under his command. So he asked someone to show Zhang Juzheng the tea and greeted them enthusiastically and sat down: "Mr. Chen just came back from the southeast, and Mr. Zhang hasn't seen him yet?"

"Of course I heard about it," Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "But thinking about Lord Shen's journey is exhausted, it must be

I have to rest for a few days, so I haven't visited it yet."

Silently smiled, "It should be that I went to visit Brother Taiyue."

"Where, where..." The two of them were just polite in their words, feeling fucked by false feelings, but Prince Yu liked to listen and laughed: "Don't just talk about greetings. Taiyue came to Gu Wang, what's wrong?"

Zhang Juzheng looked at the silence and thought to himself that the teacher had already greeted him. It would be better to tell this matter in front of him, maybe he could help. So he bowed to King Yu and said, "The emperor came here to ask the prince to save someone."

"Oh..." King Yu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Who can the Lone King save?!"

"Only the prince can save this person." Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "If you don't save him, he will have no way to die.

"Who?" King Yu frowned slightly, and he felt that this matter must be difficult,

Habitually want to shirk.

But Zhang Juzheng was not alone, so he would never let King Yu succeed, so he said, "He is a person who once helped the prince very much."

"Oh?" King Yu became interested and said, "Don't keep it aside, who it is?"

"Liu Tao." Director Zhang was reporting the man's name and then telling Xu Jie's speech to him

Listen, Prince.

When King Yu heard this, his face changed for a while. He turned around and asked silently, "How many times did Lord Liu really speak to Gu in the court?"

"This is indeed happening." Chen Si nodded and said, "Wei Ju met him twice, and Ji is Prince Jing's man.

He gained the upper hand, but Lord Liu still supported the prince without hesitation."

"Oh..." King Yu still believed in silence very much. He said, "Then I have to help..." As he said, he felt guilty, "Of course, it must be within his ability." As the actual crown prince, he was really a bit cowardly when he said such words, but he felt that Chen Si and Zhang Juzheng were not outsiders and could understand his situation.

"For the prince, it's just a small task." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "You only need to talk to Gaobutang and express your concern for Liu Tao, and he will naturally help you get things done." He paused and said, "Of course, you can't say it was the idea of ​​the minister."

"Well," King Yu thought about it and said, "It's not a problem to talk to Master Gao, but I'm not sure that he can listen to me." As he said that, he smiled awkwardly, "You know that once he slapped that, I can't beat it."

"He will definitely listen to this matter." Zhang Juzheng smiled silently and said, "My words are rude."

Brother, are you right?"

"Brother Uncle said yes, then it must be." Silent nodded and said seriously: "Prince, the history of Liu Tao's case can be big or small. You can come out at the right time to make a final decision, which will not be beneficial to establishing authority.

"This..." King Yu was quite moved) but he was still worried, "No one would make a fuss about this, right?" This is not just a matter of caution. It has been spent in fear and worry for many years, which has made this noble man full of courage and no need to worry.

It was not until Chen Si and Zhang Juzheng repeatedly promised that there were no adverse consequences that King Yu finally agreed, and he clearly felt that he had something to do and was absent-minded in talking to others.

When the two of Chen Si met, they knew that the prince was not interested, so they stood up and said goodbye. Only then did King Yu come to his senses and try to keep the two of them for lunch before leaving. But the two politely declined, and King Yu did not force him to stay and sent them out of the backyard, and then turned back.

Chen Yu and Zhang Jukui walked side by side in the Thousand Steps of the Yellow Leaves. The palace was very quiet. The two of them didn't speak, and they only heard the rustling sound of their feet stepping on the fallen leaves.

"Uncle..." "My words..." After silence, the two of them spoke at the same time.

He smiled at each other and said, "You say first..." "You say first...

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "What kind of person are we? Why do we learn to be sour and squeeze.

Come?"

"Hahaha..." The silent laughter sounded cheerfully, "It's right) Let's just count it

If you can't be loyal to each other, you have to be happy to face each other, otherwise it will be an insult to you and me!"

"Well said!" Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Just just agree on this, we must make a big fuss!" As he said, he reached out and asked, "It's better to meet him by chance than to ask. Since I met him here, let Brother Yu be a patrolman and wash away my words!"

"It's better to obey your orders than respect." Chen Shun smiled.

"Okay," Zhang Juzheng smiled happily: "I know there is a restaurant in Shichahai, and the storm is the most

It is a pleasant place to enjoy the flowers by the lake, and it is a great place to drink!”

"Brother Uncle and Brother recommend it, it must be not a vulgarity," Chen Silong said happily: "Let's go out and go out."

Let's post." Both of them were wearing casual clothes today, so they didn't need to.

**Kung Fu, go directly to the north, pass Desheng Gate, and follow the green high-ranking people in the east, and then go to Qianhai... There are six seazis in Beijing. Haizi is the name of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is actually a lake. Among them, the Central Sea, the South Sea, and the North Sea are exclusive to the royal family. Qianhai, Houhai and the West Sea are collectively called Shichahai. Although Shichahai is not a forbidden garden, it is also occupied by the residences of princes and nobles, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it.

But that was all about the beginning of the country. More than a hundred years have passed, and those high-gate and deep courtyards have long changed many owners. This Shichahai has also become a Feng Shui treasure land that ordinary people can enter.

Accompanied by the flying thoughts, the two came to the bright Houhai.

At this time, the Houhai, willows linger, autumn waves flow, and autumn charms are moving. The two of them could no longer hold back. They ordered people to fall into the sedan chair and walk along the idle courtyard by the sea. After passing through the sea tower and reaching the Yinding Bridge, the scenery is beautiful every step. The rise and fall of the imperial capitals of the two dynasties is like a glimpse of light, appearing in front of you. It makes you unable to simply appreciate it as a scenery, and always triggers eternal sighs such as "the emperors, generals, success or failure".

Fortunately, there are sometimes narrow alleys, small doors and low walls that only allow one or two people to pass by, which will make

You know that this place not only belongs to history, but also to the emperors, generals and ministers, but also to ordinary people.

Under Zhang Juzheng's leadership, the group entered such a narrow alley. Although the alley is cramped, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford to open in the restaurants and hotels by the Houhai where every inch of land is worth every inch of land.

When he arrived in the alley, in front of a door hole similar to a house, Zhang Juzheng knocked on the closed courtyard door. Standing silently behind him, looking at the door hole of the Shishi Town, he saw red lanterns hanging on the door, painted lintels, and an autumn tree stretched out from the wall, and the yellow leaves swayed, making people feel peaceful.

At this time, the door opened, and a pretty servant in a green hat came out. After seeing Zhang Juzheng clearly, he bowed and smiled, "It turns out it's Mr. Zhang, please come in and ask inside."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and reached out to ask Chen Si to go first. Chen Si was not polite with him. The two of them walked into the dark gate side by side. After entering, they were a very delicate but not too large front yard. There was a rockery pool in the courtyard, planting trees and flowers, and raising fish in the tank, which looked no different from ordinary families. But if you look closely, you can find that there are more than a dozen moon doors on the three walls of east and west, and they are cleverly hidden among the flowers, trees, mountains and rocks. If it weren't for the sparse grass and trees in late autumn, with silence, it would be difficult to see the clues.

"Did you see it?" Zhang Juzheng whispered to him: "Don't look at the small doors in this place, but there are a lot of luck inside. These eighteen door holes lead to an independent yard. As long as the store provides a little guidance, it will not face other customers at all. People with identities are better off."

Silent nodded and smiled, indicating Zou.

The servant beside him looked at his expression and could see that the handsome young man seemed to have a higher status than Lord Zhang, so he naturally served him carefully and said, "Do you two want to take shelter from the wind or to be a bright spot?"

"We are open and honest, of course we have to be open." Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "That last time is worthy."

Is there a yard in Gaolinghai now?"

The servant smiled complimentally and said, "Of course there are no others, but if you two come, you must have no one." They made the two very happy.

While talking, the servant led the two into the second exquisite moon gate in the east. After entering, there was indeed a unique world. I saw that the paths in the courtyard were full of colorful chrysanthemums of various styles. The courtyard painting building with antique colors and red columns and green tiles was decorated like spring, which made people feel happy.

When he went into the room, the servant raised the windows on the east side, and the shimmering Houhai outside came into his eyes. Zhang Juzheng asked him to also raise the windows on the west side, look at the lake light on the left and enjoy the chrysanthemums on the right, and then instructed the servant to put the dishes he had with him on the table, so that he would not disturb him again, and he would not even have to call him.

The servant was used to this kind of scene and knew that the adults had something to talk about, so he bowed down. Then Zhang Juzheng smiled and said to the silent, "Isn't you lie, this place is not bad, right?"

Chen Si shook his head and sighed: "I have been in Beijing for several years, and I have never known such a wonderful place.

"I just realized it soon," said Zhang Juzhengfu: "Do you know who the master here is?"

"I see the traffic outside this place, and there are thousands of futures inside," said silently and slightly, "I want to come to the store."

Home should be extraordinary.”

"You said nothing." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not difficult for you. Let me tell you that the master here is the boss of Rinanlong, the master of Puzhou, Wang Chongyi... this is not known to ordinary people."

"Then how did you know?" Chen Si moved his heart and said with a gentle smile.

Zhang Ju∽ said lightly, "Because he brought me here."

"It must be something to ask for." Seeing that Zhang Juzheng was straightforward and unconscious, he was silent and did not want to hide his clumsy, so as not to be misled by

He saw clearly.

"How do you know that people don't just want to make friends?" Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

"I clearly show the details of those old Xier." Silent smiled and said, "Wang Chongyi's brother

He is called Wang Chonggu, the governor of Liaodong; his nephew Zhang Siwei, the governor of Shandong; his in-law Yang Bo, the governor of the three borders...

"Stop, stop," Zhang Juzheng shook his hand and smiled: "Why do you feel so much about others' background?

interest?"

"Haha," Chen Shu replied irresponsible: "I just want to explain that even if they want to follow Jiu Xiao

Lord Zhang will not let Wang Chongyi take action even if he has a good relationship."

"You're right." Zhang Juzheng nodded and said, "Indeed, they're looking for it.

I have something to ask for.

"Then I'll invite me today," Chen Si smiled faintly, "Isn't it a temporary intention?"

"Don't doubt my sincerity." Zhang Juzheng smiled and talked to him to the main topic: "You know that I am now transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Chongyi came to me for a big business." Zhang Juzheng was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as the Left Minister of Revenue for a short time. Xu Jie said that he wanted to understand government affairs as soon as possible, but in fact he was still worried that he would let those Henan people abduct him.

"What's the matter?" Chen Si felt a little strange. Zhang Juzheng invited himself to Lao Xier's territory to discuss cooperation with Lao Xier. The meaning of the official and the merchants' collusion was too heavy: "Is it necessary to let me know?"

Seeing the alertness in silent words, Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Zhu Yan, I invite you here to express my selflessness." He said, "Actually, I don't want to deal with these businessmen, but this time their proposal is too tempting to refuse."

At this time, the bells in the room rang, and Zhang Juzheng stopped talking and said to the outside, "Come in." The servant came up with two friends, carrying four food boxes, served dishes with quick hands and feet, and then served wine for the two of them. He quickly bowed and quietly left.

Zhang Juzheng poured a cup for silence and said, "But because this matter is very important, I want to hear your opinions." After a pause, he said almost confessed: "You let me go 039, I, Zhang Taiyue, will not collude with the unscrupulous businessmen and harm the interests of the court."

"Isn't my foolish brother a kind of pedantic person?" Chen Si shook his head and smiled: "What's the matter, uncle, brother

Just tell me, I will speak out." As I said that, I gently clinked my glasses with Zhang Juzheng.

"Okay." Director Zhang leaned his neck and drank the wine in his glass, bared his teeth and said, "That's right, Wang Chongyi applied to me, wanting the Ministry of Revenue to hand over the issuance of the Daming Baochao to them Riyilong... I happened to be in charge of the Baochao Tuo, and of course I was asking for it. I guess if I talked to the Ministry of Revenue, I would agree." As he said that, he looked at the silent one and said, "But this matter is very important, and I am worried about the hidden dangers that I cannot see, so I have never reported it rashly. I know you are an expert in this field, and I want to hear your opinion first."

"Well..." I silently picked up a chopstick and chewed it carefully, and my heart was overwhelming... Over the years, with a stronger foundation than Huilianhao, the Japanese-Natsu Takashi, who started out by imitating the former, also became as famous as the rising sun, forming a confrontation with Huilianhao... Not only did it have an absolute advantage in the northern provinces, but it also moved south in a large scale, trying to gain a foothold in the southern market.

How can I allow others to snore on the side of the bed? I have long regarded the Southeast provinces as prohibited, so I will naturally not allow the Japanese-Neon-Tong to invade. Both sides made strange plans, fighting openly and secretly, and fought several times on various battlefields... Although relying on the advantage of geographical advantages and harmony, the Hui-Neon-Tong has always suppressed Japanese-Neon-Tong, but I have never been able to drive him out of the Southeast.

The shareholders of Nino Takashi also asked him for help, hoping to use power weapons to achieve things that cannot be done in the market, but his eyes refused. Silently warned them that they would only take action when the other party also used the government, otherwise they would have to rely on you to defeat the opponent.

This is because he knows that monopoly is a super poison that brings rigidity and kills progress. Even without Hiroshi, he will support one or even several other piaohao to compete with Huilian, instead of focusing only on the immediate interests, but ruining the future of the banking industry.

But this Japanese manlong does not have the awareness of him, and the Shanxi merchants are also the best at knowing the silence of the nature of the Shanxi businessmen. This time, they actually want to take over one of the worst stalls in the Ming Dynasty, which makes the silence instinctively uneasy...

Let’s first talk about the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. This item is one of the biggest tricks of Grandpa Zhu Yuanzhang. The so-called treasure banknotes are paper banknotes. The issuance of paper banknotes by the government was not the first to be founded by the Ming Dynasty. In fact, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were already successful experiences. For a long time, paper banknotes were truly recognized by the people and became the currency in circulation in China.

There are two prerequisites for the circulation of paper money. One is that the credit of the issuing agency is recognized by the people, and the other is that the value of paper money must be guaranteed... The simplest way is to promise to be freely redeemed with gold and silver. In fact, the success of the Song and Yuan dynasties was because their paper money could be exchanged for gold and silver. However, the banknotes of our Ming Dynasty lacked this function... The reason is that Emperor Zhu and his ministers were extremely lacking in the knowledge of currency issuance. The second is that the chaos had just passed, and the silver and copper, as traditional currencies, were extremely scarce, and the government had no ability to repay.

So the Daming Baochao was launched under such a congenital deficit. The offense without obligation to repay would inevitably lead to the government's impulse to make excessive and ineffective paper. As a result, a large number of "baochao" with crude paper and difficult to last, and only issued and not collected, neither boundary nor recycling old banknotes, resulting in more and more paper money circulating in the market, and eventually flooded into disasters. During the Hongwu period, it was inflationary and depreciated very quickly... As a result, the government almost completely lost its ability to regulate the economy, and even fell into a long-term economic crisis...
