I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 54 Godfather, I just said...

"Uncle Jiading, are you going to talk about this business?" Hou Guoxing said with a smile: "Isn't it just to imitate a few coins, so that we can also be happy with the king!"

"Don't worry, there are people above us, and nothing will happen."

Zhou Kui: "..."

This Hou Guoxing, someone above you is a fool, blatantly minting the coins of the current dynasty, even your godfather Wei Zhongxian might not be able to carry it, right?

Unless... there is Long Live God.

"Mi Zhihou, you and I have nothing to say about such a big matter," Zhou Kui licked his lips, and said with a dry smile: "It's not a big problem for you to mint a batch of rouge coins, but the... The portraits of the Long Live God and the Queen's Empress."

The implication is that it is no problem to help you cast 'rouge money'.

But the question is, do you still want to engrave the heads of the emperor and empress on the 'rouge money' of your hook-up business?I want to fart!
"Haha, it's easy to talk to the Long Live Lord, let's go and beg him." Hou Guoxing waved his hands with a grin and said with a smile: "However, the empress's side still needs you, the head of the country, to come out in person."

Zhou Kui was tongue-tied for a long time, but heaved a heavy sigh.

It is true that the empress is his daughter, but since she married into Prince Xin's mansion, she has changed.

"Uncle Jiading, how about this, you and the adults wait a moment, we will go into the palace to beg the emperor!" Hou Guoxing smiled, and went out directly, leaving everyone on the spot.

Does this work too?
This Hou Guoxing thought he didn't die fast enough, so he sent his head to the palace for the emperor to chop off?

The officials and wealthy businessmen who came to congratulate the state leader Zhou Kui secretly snickered, sat down to drink tea and chat, and waited for the news that Hou Guoxing had been killed.

Especially those civil servants outside the eunuch party are even more delighted.

However, no one showed it on face.

After all, Hou Guoxing's mother is Ke Baba, Fengsheng's wife, and his godfather is Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch. Neither of these two people is easy to mess with...

……

Zhu Youjian was hiding in the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, sweating profusely, listening to Wei Zhongxian's report outside the door, saying that Hou Guoxing, the Marquis of Mizhi, asked to see him.

"Let him wait for half an hour..." the idiot emperor said angrily.

I'm about to get some of my 'prodigal value', how can I give up halfway!

So, half an hour later, the sleeping eunuch went in, packed up the two women and carried them away. Zhu Youjian changed into a loose bright yellow casual clothes slowly, and after drinking a cup of tea, he sent a message for Hou Guoxing to see him.

"My humble minister, Hou Guoxing, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hou Guoxing, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Youjian was sitting on the dragon couch, flipping through a question book with 'concentration', and asked without raising his eyelids.

"Your Majesty, I went to the Daming Royal Bank to congratulate you today. I was overjoyed when I saw the coin that His Majesty bestowed on Jia Ding Bo. I felt that this coin was never seen before or since. Only an eternal sage like Your Majesty can mint it..."

As expected of Ke Baba's son and Wei Zhongxian's godson, regardless of 21 [-], he gave a rainbow fart first, even if Zhu Youjian knew it was just flattery, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

"Speak up if you have something to say, I'm still busy reading the test book." Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and said calmly.

"Cough...Your Majesty, when I saw those two coins, I was so overjoyed that I couldn't put them down, so I had a whim and wanted to entrust the Daming Royal Bank to mint a batch..."

"Do you want to mint coins?" Zhu Youjian asked coldly impatiently.

"Long Live Lord..." Hou Guoxing froze instantly.

Didn't the godfather hint that the minting of coins is not something the idiot emperor wants to do but can't do, and he hopes to find a capable person to help him complete it, and he will definitely get great benefits after it is done?

Why do you say that you turned your face when you turned your face?

"Hou Guoxing, how many coins do you want to mint?" Zhu Youjian asked casually, "What do you think of my gold coins being minted?"

"A lot, a lot, a lot... Your Majesty's gold coins are so good!" Hou Guoxing was so frightened that he was out of his wits, his lips were trembling and he didn't know what to say, but he kept saying yes.

Zhu Youjian watched coldly, feeling that the heat was almost ready, so he nodded slightly, and said softly, "Get up and talk."

Hou Guoxing hurriedly shouted long live, thanked him, and then got up.

Zhu Youjian actually doesn't like this kind of servile "prodigal assistant", but Wei Zhongxian's power is still very strong now, so he has to weigh the pros and cons and unite all the forces that can be united...

"Hou Guoxing, I will grant your request," Zhu Youjian said, "However, I have a condition."

Zhu Youjian pondered a few times, and continued: "I intend to rectify the current coinage chaos, but I lack a capable, courageous, and resourceful minister at hand. I will give you a cup of tea to consider. If you can handle this errand well, I will I will seal you as Duke Mizhi!"

The titles of Daming are only Duke, Marquis, and Bo, and if you go up, you will be a king with a different surname...

Hou Guoxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The godfather is really not lying, the Lord Long Live really wants to rectify the chaos of Daming's coinage.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister...can handle this errand well!"

After only seven or eight breaths, Hou Guoxing gritted his teeth, bowed and said: "I must let your Majesty's new coins flow freely in the world, stop officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the world from minting coins privately, and do my best for my Ming Dynasty. !"

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly, his face relaxed a little, and Wen Yan asked, "What is Hou Aiqing's general idea?"

You have to ask clearly in advance, otherwise, let this guy mess around and ruin my plan to collect money... Ahem, the reform of the currency system has not been completed, and offended a large number of officials and wealthy businessmen, it is simply not worthwhile.

"Your Majesty, I think so," Hou Guoxing thought about it and said, "First, in the painting boat business in Xiyuan, the new currency was inadvertently made the only currency that can be circulated.

Then, in the tea, silk, porcelain, farm and coal mine business of Weichen's family, the new currency was promoted to make it a hard currency that was better than silver.

In addition, I can use my relationship to unite a large number of wealthy businessmen who are loyal to His Majesty to jointly promote the new currency..."

Zhu Youjian listened and nodded slightly.

Then, he shook his head again.

"Your method is good, but the speed is too slow," Zhu Youjian said softly: "Is there a more effective method that can promote the new currency nationwide as quickly as possible without any trouble? "

Hou Guoxing thought hard for a while, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, my humble minister Yulu..."

This is indeed a bit embarrassing.

With Hou Guoxing's brain and insight, it is simply difficult for others to come up with a proper method all at once.

Of course, this was expected. From the very beginning, Zhu Youjian never expected Hou Guoxing to come up with any good ideas.

He was waiting for the treacherous official Wei Zhongxian to take the initiative to stand up.

Right now, the only one who can solve this matter seems to be Wei Zhongxian...

"Long live, this servant has an idea."

After a dozen or so breaths, Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

He bowed and said: "Long Live God can put Zhou Kui, Bo of Jiading, and Hou Guoxing, Marquis of Mizhi, into death row first. This matter... should be done."

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, he took a meaningful look at Wei Zhongxian, and said in his heart: "You're a good job, you deserve to be a treacherous minister!" '

Hou Guoxing, who was standing aside, was frightened and stupid when he heard the words.

He knelt on the ground with a "plop", with a blank expression on his face, and wailed in his heart: "Godfather, I call you..."
