Chapter 58
: The custodian
"The silver notes issued by the imperial court should have a special special logo to identify fake silver notes on the market."
"Otherwise, any person with excellent painting skills can make a silver note if he draws a few strokes. Wouldn't it be the same as the inflation just now?"
"So, the function of the anti-counterfeiting sign is that this thing can be proved to be used by the court, and other people can't create it even if they want to."
Zhu Ye carefully gave Zhu Yuanzhang an example to illustrate the anti-counterfeiting sign, which made Zhu Yuanzhang stun his tongue.
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.
What Zhu Ye said was nothing Zhu Yuanzhang had never thought of before.
It is also because things like silver notes have not been circulated for a long time, and there have never been any disadvantages like what Zhu Ye said.
But Zhu Yuanzhang understood very well that these things would definitely happen, but it was just a matter of time.
Even if this is a serious crime of beheading, there are many people who go through fire and water in the face of huge profits.
"Grandpa, grandpa?"
Zhu Ye reached out and shook his hand in front of the tranced Zhu Yuanzhang: "Did you hear me speak?"
Zhu Ye recalled his attention and Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red. He just thought too deeply and was distracted.
"What did you say, grandson?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked embarrassedly.
"Grandpa, I said, the most urgent task now is to stop the emperor from printing silver notes! Grandpa, don't delay."
Zhu Ye repeated what he had just said helplessly.
"Yes, yes! We almost forgot about the serious business."
Before he could take care of the unloaded food and grass, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed out with a steadily step. He wanted to go to the Ministry of Revenue to stop those people from continuing to print silver notes.
Fortunately, I came to Zhu Ye today, and it was fine, so I told Zhu Ye about this.
Otherwise, when these silver notes are really printed, it will be too late for me to regret it.
The Minister of Revenue, who was still in high spirits to print silver notes, looked at the printed silver notes in front of him, and his face was rosy.
Grandma, the emperor’s grandson is worthy of being the emperor’s grandson. He can come up with this method, which is really beneficial to the people.
The Minister of Revenue was full of joy and no one was around. The Minister of Revenue sorted out the silver notes in his hand. He put a thick stack of silver notes of ten thousand taels into his arms, thinking that he would send some to Zhu Yunwen another day to express his feelings.
Although I had sent a lot of oil and water to the East Palace before, this time, such a huge profit was entirely due to Zhu Yunwen.
Moreover, in recent days, the emperor's grandson's suggestions have been adopted by the emperor.
At this time, everyone can see that the position of the crown prince is probably Zhu Yunwen's.
Therefore, of course, the Minister of Revenue wanted to please the future crown prince. He didn't ask for anything else, but hoped that Zhu Yunwen could remember his loyalty and stay in the position of Minister of Revenue until he was old.
After all, the Ministry of Revenue is too much.
While the Minister of Revenue was still dreaming, Jiang Yan opened the way and Zhu Yuanzhang had already stepped into the office of the Ministry of Revenue.
"emperor!"
The Minister of Revenue did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would come so late.
He rolled and crawled down from his seat, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Minister of Revenue, who had a lot of silver notes in his arms, was still a little guilty.
"Has the silver notes been published?"
Zhu Yuanzhang had a bad expression.
"Return to the emperor, I am already in an urgent publication. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be put into use tomorrow."
The Minister of Revenue breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor was here to ask about the progress, so he had nothing to be afraid of.
"Stop it! All the published silver notes will be destroyed and invalid."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"Emperor...Emperor?"
The Minister of Revenue looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
Why was the emperor who was discussing how to print out silver notes that increased the denomination, and changed his mind just now?
"You don't need to ask more questions, just do it."
Jiang Yin knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a bad mood at this time, so he would not explain so much to the Minister of Revenue.
He could only speak for Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Minister of Revenue received a gesture from Jiang Yan. He knew that something was wrong, so he quickly said yes and wanted to retreat.
"What's in your arms?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have noticed the strangeness in the arms of the Minister of Revenue.
The Minister of Revenue did not stand firm and knelt down. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. He took out his private silver notes printed in his arms and took them out.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "You are so brave."
"Your Majesty! This is the silver note that I have prepared to use for you to review. Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me!"
The Minister of Revenue quickly explained, but there was still a steady stream of sweat coming out of his head.
"Bad! Do you think we can trust you! I'm afraid that the silver bill will be printed, and you will be the first person to benefit from you!"
"You'll be here to help us. How long have you discussed this trick with the emperor?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely angry. Zhu Ye, a layman, could see the pros and cons of such a foolish idea.
As a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he did not find any disadvantages, but was happy to see it.
It seems that I really underestimated the old guys under my command.
They all blatantly dared to secretly travel under their noses, and really thought that they were old and could not be involved.
"Your Majesty, it's unfair! Unfair."
The Minister of Revenue's voice broke: "I really don't know about this!"
The Minister of Revenue repeatedly complained, and a half-old minister was so scared that he cried bitterly.
"Shut up! Jiang Yan, please take someone to check the accounts yourself. If you find something wrong, just drag this person out to pieces."
Zhu Yuanzhang's fingers pointed at the Minister of Revenue in anger and trembled.
Jiang Yan dragged the Minister of Revenue, who was kneeling on the ground, out of the door without saying a word. Soon, the sound of the uniform steps of the Jinyiwei came from outside.
The entire Ministry of Revenue, like an iron barrel surrounded, could not even fly in.
Soon, Jiang Yan dragged the account book of the Ministry of Revenue and walked in with a heavy face.
