I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 111 The First Bank of Ming Dynasty was established! Cleveland: Emperor Xuan of Zhou was actually a foolish king?
Shandong, Dengzhou.

Qi Jingtong, 36, looked at the retreating figure of the Japanese pirates with doubts in his eyes.

This season is not the usual time for Japanese pirates to clear out disturbances, but a few days ago, Japanese pirates appeared.

Their appearance was also very strange, and they ran away when they saw the officers and soldiers.

It was as if he appeared just to be seen by the officers and soldiers.

Do not……

Let the eunuch see it.

Qi Jingtong couldn't help but turn his head and look at the city gate. On top of the city, the Chief of Staff and his immediate superior were looking at a eunuch in a flattering manner.

"Father, look... the Japanese pirates are attacking. As the person in charge of Dengzhou Shipping Company, I am afraid that I have to repel the Japanese pirates before I can have the honor to go to Jinling to report my work to His Majesty..."

On the top of the city, an official from the Shipping Department looked at this scene worriedly.

"Okay, there are indeed Japanese pirates... Anyway, the imperial edict has been brought, and our family will truthfully inform His Majesty of your difficulties..."

The eunuch didn't care and finally let the officials from the Shipping Department pass.

"Okay, okay, then father-in-law, we must give him a good send-off tonight..."

The officials of the Municipal Shipping Department were finally relieved.

……

"what?"

"Your Majesty wants to establish a cabinet in Jinling?"

"Is Jinling going to become the capital of our Ming Dynasty again?"

Quanzhou, Shibosi and others had just celebrated using the excuse of Japanese pirates to trick the eunuch away, but they did not expect that the eunuch had just left...

A big piece of news came through.

At the moment, they were dumbfounded and took a long time to react.

"Hurry! Go catch up with those eunuchs! We are free! Get the battle report of the Japanese pirates! We are free to report to Jinling!"

The moment they reacted, they immediately regretted it and carried out a series of remedial measures in a panic.

however……

It's always too late.

……

"Japanese pirates are attacking?"

Jinling, it was just dawn today, and Zhu Houzhao happened to receive the battle report.

"Yes, Your Majesty...Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places have sent battle reports one after another, and many Japanese pirates have appeared..."

At the Xiaoling Guard Station, Chen Qing, Minister of the Ministry of War, felt that he had seized the opportunity under Huang Bao's demonstration. After receiving the battle report, he reported to Zhu Houzhao as soon as possible.

"Why did Japanese pirates just happen to appear when I asked them to come to Jinling to report on their duties?"

Zhu Houzhao made no secret of his surprise: "Chen Qing, tell me, is there any coincidence here? Is there someone who doesn't want us to have a cabinet in Jinling and wants to drive me back to the north?"

brush!
Chen Qing's sweat suddenly broke out. He had not thought of this level at all.

"Your Majesty, please give me a decree. I want to visit various places in person!"

Chen Qing also quickly realized that this might be a trick of the Northern Cabinet. Calculating the time, it was time for them to take action. This was their traditional skill.

"Okay, this matter is up to the Ministry of War. If you can't handle it, talk to me again... By the way, I went to various places and helped me pay attention to the navy in each place. I want the real situation."

The emergence of this incident also made Zhu Houzhao pay attention and think of Fisher and the others.

If this fourth chat goes well, he will get a more detailed gold distribution map, and he will indeed seriously consider rebuilding the Ming Navy.

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Qing did not dare to neglect, especially at this special time, and he did not want such a thing to happen, which would affect his entry into the cabinet... Even if he did not join the cabinet, he would take back the power of the Minister of War and make it practical.

"Wei Bin, are the treasure notes ready?"

After Chen Qing retreated, Zhu Hou called Wei Bin as usual.

"If I want to reply to Your Majesty, 10 million treasure notes have been prepared. In addition, Huang Tongzheng and the others have sent an honor guard outside to wait for Your Majesty. We can set off at any time." Wei Bin knew Zhu Houzhao's purpose.

"This Huang Bao has a strong sense of presence..."

Zhu Houzhao sighed again, and then said seriously: "Let's go, I want to take a good look at what kind of grand occasion our First Bank of the Ming Dynasty will be! By the way, let Shen Quan and the others send people to protect them. Xiaoling Guards shouldn't be like this Buried!”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Zhu Houzhao and his party rushed from Xiaoling to Xihua Gate.

……

Xihuamen.

Today is still lively, even more lively than yesterday.

Before dawn, some people who had stayed up late waiting to exchange money formed a long queue again.

But at this moment, the direction of their queue has changed. The front of the queue is no longer a temporary stall. It is an original three-story building. This building is now the First Bank of Ming Dynasty. In front of the building, many stalls have been added.

Today, the First Bank of Ming Dynasty will replace all the banks in Jinling and continue to cash silver for everyone.

Not only that, the First Bank of Ming Dynasty will also provide benefits to everyone, and everyone can buy Ming Hongwu treasure banknotes at low prices!
Therefore, not only did the people gather here, but before dawn, civil and military officials from various departments in Jinling received orders from the Ministry of Personnel to prepare silver to support His Majesty.

Zhu Houzhao has not arrived yet.

Zhu Youqi had already led hundreds of officials to wait at the scene.

King Ning, King Anhua and other vassal princes who received the imperial edict and were ready to take the treasure money also waited with their silver.

Xu Yunmiao also appeared at the scene. Seeing that the clerk who used to belong to them was now a temporary worker of Daming First Bank, he was also waiting respectfully, feeling inexplicably unhappy.

Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing and others stood in front of the queue of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty, holding banknotes in their hands, waiting to cash in the money.

Huang Bao had arranged this position for them, so that His Majesty could see their support for Daming Bank...

In fact, they didn't want to let His Majesty know that they skipped work and were cheated of money, fearing that they would have a bad impression in front of Zhu Houzhao.

But Huang Bao said that only under His Majesty's attention can they get the money.

They helped me so much, so it was hard for them to refuse.

In short, under everyone's expectations, Zhu Houzhao's dragon chariot finally appeared.

Accompanied by the routine roar of mountains and tsunamis, the emperor Zhu Houzhao also appeared for the first time in front of tens of thousands of people in Jinling.

The scene of tens of thousands of people kneeling and worshiping him naturally gave Zhu Houzhao an extra experience of power.

All of this was arranged by Huang Bao, and even... Huang Bao prepared a speech for him to read in front of all the people.

"The auspicious time has come, please Your Majesty to unveil the First Bank of Ming Dynasty!"

Amidst the noise of gongs and drums, Zhu Houzhao successfully unveiled the plaque.

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"

After he unveiled the plaque, Zhu Youqi and others took the lead in kneeling down again, waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak and give instructions.

"I am a commoner in Huaiyou, how can the world compare to me! This statement is made by me, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty..."

Naturally, Zhu Houzhao would not miss this opportunity to win the favor of all the people, and immediately began to instruct Jinling.

Naturally, there is only one central idea in this passage.

Taizu served the country and the people, and successive emperors served the country and the people.

They were all very angry after learning about the incident in Jinling yesterday. Fortunately, the matter was finally resolved.

Then he expressed that he should put the people first. On the occasion of the death of Taizu, Zhu Houzhao would represent the Ming Dynasty and give an account to the people of the world.

I will tell Taizu that I will continue to put the people first!
Finally, it is logical to announce the activity of using the treasure banknotes.

In short, Huang Bao's speech was much higher than that of Tang Bohu and others, and once again reflected his power as a general manager from written materials.

"I announce! The First Bank of Ming Dynasty is established!"

"Now, everyone can continue to exchange money and receive treasure notes!"

The words didn't last long. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhu Houzhao gave an order.

The First Bank of Ming Dynasty officially opened for business!
Tang Bohu and the others were encouraged by Zhu Houzhao when they exchanged cash.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao also personally distributed the first batch of treasure banknotes to the officials who were queuing up to exchange the treasure banknotes!
At this point, the ceremony ended. This mighty Jinling economic crisis directly evolved into the prelude to the establishment of Daming Bank.

Witnessing this move, Xu Yunmiao, Zhu Fu, and Gao Quan still didn't understand how the disaster that happened to them turned out to be a stepping stone for the establishment of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.

……

America, 1896.

"President, we finally figured out the identity of this emperor!"

In the President's Office, Cleveland's secretary came in and took out a file bag with a relieved expression.

"Oh, really? You have been busy for eight days. Is it really so difficult to know the identity of this emperor? When was he the emperor of the East?"

Cleveland immediately put down what he was doing, opened the file bag, and asked curiously.

He really didn't expect that a mere Eastern Emperor would spend so much time on the American diplomatic and intelligence agencies.

"This emperor is so unpopular. Even the records in their Chinese history are not that rich. Even some Chinese in Chinatown didn't know about it for a while!"

"We still contacted some Chinese people studying in the United States and learned about it from them."

While talking about the hard work process, the secretary said: "He was the Emperor of the East in 578 AD. During this period, Frank was the Merovingian dynasty, Spain was the Visigoth Kingdom, and Britain had seven kingdoms established by the Angles and Saxons. , Italy is the Lombard Kingdom, north-central Europe is the Germanic tribes, and Eastern Europe is the Slavic tribes. The eastern part of the northern Mediterranean and North Africa, including Egypt, is the period of the Eastern Roman Empire."

"Ah, he turned out to be the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, thirteen hundred years ago?"

Cleveland was surprised. He took the file and saw that Yuwen Yun's file showed: Yuwen Yun, the fourth emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, reigned from 578 to 579.

"Yes, this emperor seems to be a little interesting..."

"He can even be compared to Caligula during our Western Roman Empire! He was a foolish king who compared himself to a god. However, there are not many records of Caligula's deeds, not as detailed as those in the East... This foolish king was 19 years old He became the emperor and then established five queens... The funniest thing is that his throne was snatched away by his father-in-law! His father-in-law Yang Jian was amazing, equivalent to Emperor Constantine reunifying Rome, and he also reunified China... …”

The secretary kept picking up key information and reported it. At the same time, in order to make it easier for Cleveland to understand, he also tried to find a Western emperor to correspond with him so that Cleveland could easily understand.
