I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 84 King Ning meets Zhu Houzhao! Zhu Houzhao: Isn’t the money coming now?

"Your Majesty, your Majesty has summoned me."

Compared to the imperial city that was about to boil outside, the palace was still peaceful and quiet.

King Ning, who had been waiting for a long time, finally met Liu Jin.

"Okay, okay, thank you Eunuch Liu!"

Prince Ning took a deep breath and quickly followed Liu Jin.

"Eunuch Liu, I wonder how your Majesty is feeling now?"

Although he was the elder Zhu Houzhao, King Ning was deeply impressed by Zhu Houzhao's actions today.

He did not dare to underestimate this emperor, and was even a little afraid.

He couldn't control all the civil and military officials in a matter of seconds.

Therefore, he carefully stuffed some banknotes to feel more confident.

"Your Majesty is in a good mood. The prince can rest assured. He was talking and laughing with Prince Xing earlier."

After squeezing the thickness of the banknote inside her sleeve, Liu Jin smiled.

"That's good, that's good."

The tension in Prince Ning's heart eased a little, but he was still a little nervous when he thought about what was going to happen next.

How on earth was he going to tell Zhu Houzhao? The issue of security was always a sensitive topic.

Although he had practiced with Mr. Mu Zhai several times before coming here, today's meeting was so shocking that he had long forgotten the content of the drill, and now his mind is a little confused.

"Your Majesty, bring Prince Ning here."

But no matter what, what was supposed to come came.

Arriving at the door of the imperial study, Prince Ning took a deep breath again. What was he afraid of? The emperor was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he would not eat him.

"My lord, come in."

Prince Ning decisively stepped into the imperial study.

At a glance, he saw Zhu Houzhao sitting upright in front of the desk, his young face expressionless, and his eyes looking at something seriously.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Although he had seniority, he had to kneel down to Zhu Houzhao and perform the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers.

"Is this Prince Ning? Get up."

Zhu Houzhao looked away, looked at Prince Ning up and down, and went straight to the point: "I heard Liu Jin say, Prince Ning, you have collected millions of Taizu treasure notes?"

Zhu Houzhao actually resisted these vassal kings who were too senior.

But now that the idea of ​​making money is on them, Zhu Houzhao has the right to see the fat sheep.

King Ning also fits the characteristics of a fat sheep.

In one word, fat. Two words, round face, write pampering on the body.

"Yes, here, Your Majesty."

Prince Ning quickly took out the banknotes he had prepared, and Liu Jin next to him collected them one by one.

"Prince Ning, don't be nervous. I don't know how to eat people. Although I have been on the throne for a year, I have not met the vassal kings of various places. Why don't Prince Ning tell me how your lineage is doing in the fiefdom? By the way, from Taizong Let’s talk about it during the years…”

While Zhu Houzhao was looking through the old Hongwu treasure banknotes, he motioned to Prince Ning to report without raising his head.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Since the first year of Yongle, when Taizong changed our fiefdom to Nanchang, we have gone through..."

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao also asked them to sort out the development of each line before. Prince Ning was naturally at ease with this and took the opportunity to talk about everything from the first Prince Ning to his generation.

When he was talking about his own affairs, he saw that Zhu Houzhao didn't react in any way, so he unknowingly brought something private.

"Your Majesty, we are having a very bad life! Especially in my generation, after the throne, the local officials saw that the king was young and came to bully the king. Also...our palace was stolen the year before last, and some bad guys broke into the palace. I want to try to molest my princess..."

"I wanted to strengthen the nursing home, but local officials directly impeached me..."

"After all, I am a noble prince. In order to protect my wife, I strengthened my guard force. They thought that I had evil intentions..."

He began to talk bitterly and even made up nonsense. While talking, he carefully probed Zhu Houzhao's expression.

It's just that Zhu Houzhao didn't seem interested. Instead, he took the treasure notes he collected and picked them...

"Prince Ning, that's it. That's it...I already understand your difficulties. Why don't you tell me about your recent collection of treasure notes? As far as I know, the treasure notes have been separated for almost a hundred years, and the ones left behind have been It's very difficult... How did you collect so many treasures, and why do you think this part is fake?"

Yes, Zhu Houzhao has discovered that there are fakes in Prince Ning's pile of treasures.

Although the level of counterfeiting is very high, he has obtained the full set of treasure banknote printing technology through the chat group, so after a closer look, he actually found at least half of the counterfeit banknotes.

The counterfeiters are quite capable and deliberately make them look old.

"What? Are the treasure notes fake? It's impossible! Your Majesty, I was very careful when collecting them!"

Prince Ning felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue, and his head was in a daze. He didn't know how much effort he had spent on this thing.

If it’s fake, that would be too hurtful.

"There are indeed some fake ones, such as these... about three hundred thousand taels. Although their level of counterfeiting is good, the authentic Taizu banknotes have these anti-counterfeiting marks... For example, here, here..." Zhu Houzhao directly pointed out the fake ones. of treasure money.

Prince Ning took it from Liu Jin and took a closer look. He was also confused...

He didn't know whether to believe Zhu Houzhao or someone else.

"Your Majesty! I am guilty. This was not intentional. It must be King Anhua... He was in a hurry yesterday and didn't even check it. What he gave me must be fake! Damn it... he actually cheated me! Sixteen thousand The thousand-tael banknote turned out to be a fake!"

In Zhu Houzhao's case, what Zhu Houzhao said must prevail.

King Ning immediately recalled that he must have been in a hurry yesterday because King Anhua gave him eye drops and hurriedly shirked responsibility.

"Huh? Sixteen thousand taels? What sixteen thousand taels?" Zhu Houzhao really didn't know the transaction process behind these.

"Your Majesty, it's like this..."

King Ning immediately told the story of how he was cheated by King Anhua. After speaking, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach King Anhua. He made counterfeit treasures and was disrespectful to Taizu!"

Sixteen thousand taels, although it wasn't much, but he felt like a big fool!
His personality and intelligence were insulted.

"Wait a minute... Sixteen thousand taels, three hundred thousand guan of treasure notes... So how much did you spend on these one million guan of treasure notes?"

Zhu Houzhao really didn't expect that the price of the treasure banknotes would increase so outrageously, and he instantly understood why someone was making counterfeit money.

"About twenty-two thousand taels!"

It hurts even more to think about Prince Ning, who spent 20,000 taels on this pile of waste paper... but he still hasn't achieved his goal.

Now he didn't dare to mention the matter of adding more guards. He just wanted Zhu Houzhao not to pursue him for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Twenty-two thousand taels...this...is comparable to the value of the treasures from the Yongle period, right?"

Zhu Houzhao had thought about the price increase of treasure notes, but he also did not expect that the price of treasure notes would increase so drastically.

This made him discover that his original plan was actually conservative.

"Your Majesty, who says it's not the case? It's not easy to collect these treasures... It's already a small amount, and you added that order... I... I also spent a lot of effort to collect it reluctantly. Although the money is "Young Master, but this thing is too torturous!"

"For example, at the beginning, it was only one or twenty taels, but then..."

Thinking of the hard work he had put in for Baochao during this period, Prince Ning couldn't help but complain.

Who understands the sadness of currency speculators!

Listening to Prince Ning’s thoughts on currency speculation,
Seeing Prince Ning being tortured like this because of his words...

There are also treasure notes that were originally worthless but eventually increased in value a hundred times.

Zhu Houzhao vaguely felt that he had grasped the hilt of an economic weapon!
It seems that my plan to cancel Jinling Bank can be corrected?
Also, if I continue to want this kind of treasure, can I continue to push up the value?
Similarly, fake treasure notes could steal Prince Ning's nearly 20,000 taels of silver invisibly.

that……

Reward for last chat.

The real treasure banknotes he printed have come out. Can people exchange them without anyone noticing?

After all, in the end, the right to interpret the authenticity of a treasure banknote lies with you.

As long as you think it is true, it is true.

This seems to be more secretive than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's use of white deer coins to harvest vassal kings.

Anyway, there is nothing to lose, give it a try?
Prince Ning's leek experience made Zhu Houzhao constantly revise his understanding, and he felt that his plan was gradually becoming clear.

However, experiments, cases, and verification are still needed.

Prince Ning is obviously a good test subject and observation sample.

At that moment, he also made up his mind to collect treasure money from the feudal king to add fuel to the fire.

"Okay, Prince Ning, I don't blame you. I think of your filial piety towards Taizu."

Zhu Houzhao decisively stopped Prince Ning, who was about to cry, and said directly: "I have also worked hard to collect millions of treasure notes. This time I barely passed the test, so I should fulfill my promise. If you have any requests, you can make one. I can think about it and if it doesn’t hurt, I can satisfy you.”

"what!"

"Pass the test and make a request!"

Prince Ning was struck by this unexpected surprise, and for a moment he thought he had heard wrongly.

"Yes! Mention it."

Zhu Houzhao looked at him encouragingly. As long as Prince Ning didn't push it too far, he would agree to the matter of buying horse bones for a thousand pounds.

"This...Your Majesty...can you really mention it?"

Now I heard it clearly and saw the seriousness on Zhu Houzhao's face.

"Yes, you can mention it." Zhu Houzhao was very patient.

"Then Your Majesty, I would like to increase the number of guards, a thousand, no, a hundred..."

Sure enough, the pattern is here.
