My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 284 Saving Money

"What are you busy with?"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Zhanhe curiously.

"Grandfather, can you deposit a sum of money in our bank, such as some expenses in the palace, I can calculate the interest for you!"

Zhu Zhanhe pleaded.

"Saving money? Interest is still calculated?"

Zhu Di was taken aback for a moment. Although he knew the bank, he was not very familiar with the bank's business.

"It's like this. Generally, banks charge a certain amount of storage fees for depositing money, but our bank doesn't use it. It's free for ordinary people, but for you, Grandpa Emperor, I can calculate the interest for you..."

Zhu Zhanhe explained the matter of interest in detail.

In fact, banks collect deposits mainly for lending. Banks did the same thing in the past, but banks had to eat at both ends. They charged custodial fees when depositing money, and charged high interest when lending money.

In contrast, banks are more conscientious, depositing money is free, but they charge a certain amount of interest when lending. This is mainly because banks in this period have just started, and the flow of funds is slow, so the income is limited. Otherwise, Zhu Zhanhe would like to save money. Money also gives interest, which will definitely attract more people to save money.

After Zhu Di listened, he also asked with great interest: "You mean, I only need to deposit the money in my hand in the bank, and then I can sit and wait to earn interest every day?"

"That's right, when others deposit money in the bank, there is no interest."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded with a smile.

"That's interesting."

Zhu Di thought for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll talk to Concubine Wang when I get back, let her spend part of the palace's expenses in the bank, and when she needs money, she can get it from the bank!"

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Zhu Zhanhe was also overjoyed when he heard the words.

The imperial city has a vast area, and there are thousands of concubines, eunuchs, and court ladies. The daily expenses of these people are not small. Many living materials need to be purchased in the city. Zhu Di deposits this part of the expenses in the bank. Definitely not a small amount.

The goal was achieved, and Zhu Zhanhe was about to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to stop him suddenly: "Zhanhe, wait a minute!"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Zhu Di called him to stop him?
Seeing that Zhu Di seemed to hesitate for a moment at this moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhan He, just now you said to let your third uncle go overseas, where do you think it would be more appropriate for him to go?"

"what?"

Zhu Zhanhe was stunned, he just said it casually just now, and never thought about letting Zhu Gaosui go overseas.

"Why, do you think it's better for your third uncle to stay in Daming?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe was silent, Zhu Di immediately raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"No, it's just that your question, Grandpa Huang, surprised me. Do you really plan to let third uncle go overseas?"

Zhu Zhanhe shook his head, then asked curiously again.

To be honest, Zhu Gaosui was acting everywhere during this period, especially running to Zhu Di every day. Zhu Zhanhe was really worried that Zhu Di would be confused for a while. If the throne were really passed on to Zhu Gaosui, then he might have to go overseas and follow Zhu Gaoxu Stay in Tianzhu and never come back.

"Hmph, even though I'm old, I'm still not foolish. How could I not know the thoughts of the third child?"

Zhu Di gave Zhu Zhanhe a blank look, but when he said this, he suddenly sighed and continued.

"But the third child is my son after all. Although he has made a big mistake, I can't bear to lock him up all the time, let alone kill him. Otherwise, I won't have the face to meet your grandmother, so I simply took this opportunity. Let him out for a while, and then find a chance to send him overseas."

"But you are not afraid of my third uncle..."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't dare to say any more when he said this.

Zhu Di also understood what Zhu Zhanhe meant. With Zhu Gaosui's character, if he had a certain strength overseas, he would probably find a way to kill him back to Daming. This is what Zhu Zhanhe was most worried about Zhu Gaosui.

"Of course I'm worried about this, but there are solutions. For example, ask your third uncle to go as far away as possible. Even if he wants to come back, it will be as difficult as going to heaven!"

Zhu Di said again.

He doesn't want to imprison Zhu Gaosui anymore, but if Zhu Gaosui stays in Daming, it will be a disaster, so he can only be allowed to go far away, so that he is out of sight and out of mind, which is good for everyone.

"If that's the case, I think there are three places that are very suitable for third uncle!"

Zhu Zhanhe understood what Zhu Di meant, and immediately thought of three places.

"Which three?"

Zhu Di asked immediately.

"The first one is Africa, which is the place where Zheng He and the others brought back the long-necked... um... Qilin."

When Zhu Zhanhe talked about the unicorn, he still wanted to talk about the giraffe habitually. That giraffe is still kept in Beiyuan in Nanjing. Zhu Zhanhe had visited it a few times before and found that the unicorn was still alive and well. It was winter It's a little tough for it.

"Africa?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di also started to move the globe on the table. Ever since Zhu Zhanhe gave it to him, he has kept it on his desk, even when he moved to Beijing.

"Africa is not only far away from Daming, but if you want to go back to Daming, you have to go through Tianzhu, which is equivalent to my father stopping the third uncle on the way, even if he wants to come back, it is impossible."

Zhu Zhanhe explained again.

"Africa is far enough away, but the climate there is harsh. Zheng He said that there are no four seasons there, and it is extremely hot all year round. Many places are even deserts. Isn't the condition too difficult?"

After Zhu Di pondered for a moment, he finally spoke.

He wanted to drive his son out, but he didn't want his son to suffer. He really felt sorry for the parents of the world.

"If you think Africa is not good, then there is a second choice!"

Zhu Zhanhe walked forward as he spoke, and then pointed to the location of Oceania on the globe and introduced.

"This is Oceania, the smallest of the seven continents, but the entire area is not much smaller than our Ming Dynasty. It is isolated overseas, and its four seasons are opposite to our Ming Dynasty, but it is rich in various minerals, such as gold, silver, copper and iron. I I think it suits my third uncle."

When Zhu Zhanhe mentioned Oceania, he secretly sneered in his heart.

Although Oceania is rich in various minerals, in this era, it is very difficult to dig out, and in the entire Oceania, only the southeast coast is suitable for human habitation, and the area is very small.

So Oceania looks very big, but in fact, the development potential in this era is not great. At most, it is to develop animal husbandry, which cannot support a strong military force. Therefore, if Zhu Gaosui goes there, there is basically no need to worry about him. threaten.

It is also the various shortcomings of Oceania, so at the beginning of Britain, later generations only regarded Oceania as a place to exile prisoners, which is quite suitable for Zhu Gaosui.

"Oceania?"

After Zhu Di listened to Zhu Zhanhe's introduction, he also showed a pensive look, as if he was a little moved?
