8days ago Historical fiction 7
The eunuch Cao Fu asked for an order to first place the abolished person and then placed it in the old mansion for observation; so as not to let Cao Fu be responsible if something happens to such people who have not gone through the talent show.

Zhu Gaoxu agreed, but he was a little curious about the woman with such an identity, so he asked Cao Fu to arrange for a first meeting.

As for the others who came back with the eunuch Meng Ji, Zhu Gaoxu would not need to ask in person for the time being.

Most of them were just envoys from foreign vassals, not kings, and those who were dismounted by the horse banquet a few days later did not need Zhu Gaoxu to participate in it personally.

The Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette, so of course it took some time to go through the etiquette of hospitality first.

So three days later, Zhu Gaoxu went out of Chengtianmen to inspect the various yamen, then inspected the mint and other places, and could leave the palace by the way.

Surrounded by his close servants and Jinyiwei, Zhu Gaoxu went to inspect the Baochao Xingyu Library.

The Ming Dynasty treasure banknote has been stopped printing and metal coins have been minted; but the official offices and names of the minted coins have not changed yet, and most of the officials are even the original group of people.

The papermaking bureau responsible for the acceptance and supply of silver and copper raw materials is under the management of the Ministry of Industry; while the mint is managed by the Bank of China and is affiliated with the official office of the People's Bank of China; the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the acceptance of the government office of the storing coins, which is the business warehouse.

Another institution, Baochaoku, has been classified into the inner palace treasury in the palace.

The Baochao Library is managed by the imperial palace supervisors, the Ministry of Revenue, and the central bank.

After the Ministry of Revenue collected the coins from the mint, it left a part of the budget amount, and the rest was sent to the palace for storage and storage in the Baochao Library.

The central bank is managing the accounts of the entire process.

The Baochao Library that Zhu Gaoxu and his party inspected belonged to the Ministry of Revenue, and the place was in the backyard of the Ministry of Revenue.The emperor went there in person, and the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji of the Ministry of Revenue was of course to come to receive it.

Xia Yuanji is a serious and boring person.Zhu Gaoxu talked and laughed with the ministers along the way, but Xia Yuanji almost didn't say anything.

However, when the Jingnan Army and the Crime Army entered the capital, Xia Yuanji did not surrender voluntarily; Zhu Gaoxu and his son each pulled him out of their homes at one time, and he was forced to surrender, and there were several requests to resign.

So Zhu Gaoxu felt that this person was boring, but he was still very tolerant of him.

The officials of the Baochao Library introduced how strong the stones in the warehouse were, and said that there was also stone under the foundation to prevent someone from digging tunnels to steal.

But this place is located in the imperial city, and it seems unrealistic to dig tunnels from outside.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu had no objection, the official opened the treasure chest and took out a neat silver coin and asked the emperor to check it out. This is a wooden grid provided by the Ministry of Industry Wood Factory, with a total of four different sizes.Each grid can contain 100 coins.The mint and wood factory both use the unified size of the Shoushu Iron Factory, which is very accurate; if you put a square of coins in one piece, there must be one hundred coins, and we don’t have to count them anymore.

Zhu Gaoxu took over with great interest and took a look.

I saw that the wooden grid was very simple, with three longitudinal wooden strips as skeletons, and wooden wedges were riveted on both sides; it formed a long wooden grid, about five or six inches long.

The official picked it in the treasure chest several times and took out a stack of coins.

He turned the wooden grid upside down and said: There are some wooden grids with just the right size, which are very tight after being filled with coins. Please read it.However, most of them are a little loose, and the error stipulated by the wood factory is that it is only the big one but not the small one.

After putting down the coins, he pointed to the piles of boxes in the stone warehouse and said, "The treasure chests are also customized by the Ministry of Industry and Wood Factory. They are available in four different colors, including one, five, ten-month copper coins, and sixty-month silver coins.

Zhu Gaoxu asked casually: Are so many boxes full?

When I reply to the emperor, I am full of words.The other three nearby warehouses are also full.After the Ministry of Revenue officials said that, they hurried over and hurriedly opened the boxes one by one for Zhu Gaoxu to see.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and said: The national treasury is becoming more and more abundant, and you are self-reliant and dedicated to the public will be rewarded.

Everyone agreed one after another, some said that the emperor had a good rule in governing the country, and some said that the Ming Dynasty had already shown signs of prosperity.

At this time, Xia Yuanji suddenly spoke: The emperor clearly understands that these silver and copper round plates cannot be eaten or worn, and cannot be squandered.Now the court has sufficient expenses, which is due to the fact that there are too few coins on the market; in a few years, the amount of reclaimed and spent will be calculated, otherwise the price of goods will soar.If the spending is too fast now, the court will be short of money in the future.

The happy atmosphere of joy quickly calmed down, and most people stopped talking.

Zhu Gaoxu understood that sometimes the ministers advised the emperor in a more tactful way; they often learn from history in the lectures or indirectly at other times, just like the time now.

What Xia Yuanji said today is probably the case that Zhu Gaoxu was going to go out of the capital to hunt for a autumn trip.

That incident was said two months ago, and the relevant government agencies have also followed the preparations; but Xia Yuanji was dissatisfied from the beginning.

He could not be satisfied. Most civil officials' position was that they were neither willing to leave the capital easily, nor did they want the emperor to spend the national treasury.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and responded in a joking tone: When I first ascended the throne, the treasury was empty.At that time, I was worried about eating the food of the emperor, and now I am poor after a few years.After saying that, he also made a gesture to signal the treasure chests and coins in the room.

Several officials smiled when they saw this.Xia Yuanji was speechless and speechless.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and saw that he was still serious and had a vague expression of worrying about the country and the people. He slowed down his tone and said kindly: The world is developing, and it is impossible to be like this in five years. Xiabutang does not need to worry too much.However, Xiabutang is loyal and has a plan in his heart at any time, and is a natural minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Now, everyone started to laugh.

Xia Yuanji received the praise and had to bow and say, "I dare not take it."

Zhu Gaoxu threw down a stack of silver and money in his hand and turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

The crowd left the Ministry of Revenue and arrived at Qianbulang. Zhu Gaoxu got on the carriage and continued to go out of Hongwu Gate and Zhengyang Gate with his arms around him, and inspected the South Railway Factory and the Mint of the Bank of China.

Just like the inspection process last year, Zhu Gaoxu wandered around the workshops everywhere and listened to the officials and craftsmen on duty.

Then he and the accompanying officials went to the courtyard next to the mint to rest.

By the time the imperial carriage returned to the palace, Zhu Gaoxu was no longer in the team.He changed his clothes, took his close servants and entourage, and traveled lightly to Taiping Gate.

Because Ma Enhui lives on the shore of Yàn Que Lake outside Taiping Gate, Zhu Gaoxu has trouble leaving the palace once, and he can visit Enhui by the way. So the place where he chose to meet Yisuwa was at Qingshou Temple on Taiping Gate.

Qingshou Temple is a royal property, and its former host was Daoyan.

Daoyan died, and his disciple Qingyuan succeeded to preside over the presidency; then Qingyuan was arrested because of some secret cases involving Hong Xi Dynasty, and all the relevant people were eliminated.

The successor after that was Qingyuan's junior brother Qinghui.Qinghui has been in the temple and has never participated in secret affairs. She was rejected by her brothers before, but later she settled in her position and has not been done yet.

When Zhu Gaoxu walked off the carriage, the dog tied to the temple's mountain gate barked twice.

He looked in the sound and it was a gentle local dog. The local dog barked twice and then lay lazily there, sticking out his tongue and gasping without saying a word.

I heard from the eunuchs who came from the Yongle period that they wanted to raise a more ferocious evil dog in the temple, so they presided over Daoyan and discussed it specifically with Emperor Taizong.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the dog again before entering the mountain gate.

The ancient temple was filled with a strong smell of incense and candles, and the sound of wooden fish came from afar, and occasionally one or two men and women were in and out.

After the Jinyiwei Captain wearing a common suit entered, Zhu Gaoxu then walked into the Main Hall alone.

There is usually a monk who remembers merit books at the door, but he is not here at the moment.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at it, and he saw that there was still paper and ink on the desk.

There was not a single person in the Main Hall, so he wandered around to see the decorations around him.

After waiting for a while, someone finally came in.Zhu Gaoxu turned around and immediately realized that the person he was going to meet was the one he wanted to meet.Because she has the appearance of a foreign vassal, she is obviously different from that of a Han pilgrim.

The clothes she wore were Hanfu robe skirts, but the way she wore them was a bit alternative.

If the lining of an ordinary woman is a pan collar, she will be tied very high and can see the collarbone at most, but her pan collar is very low.

And no matter how hot the weather is, the women and the people will thicken a piece of cloth to avoid exposing themselves, but she is not like this.

When Zhu Gaoxu was staring at the woman, she also turned to look at him.

The woman's eyes looked straight at him without any intention of avoiding her.

Zhu Gaoxu has lived in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and for a while, he is still a little uncomfortable and is stared at by a woman.

I saw that her eyes were also black, but they were very different from those of the Han people, as if they had a sense of exotic mystery.

That skirt, worn by an exotic woman with such a temperament and expression, is naturally unspeakable and weird.

The woman kept looking at Zhu Gaoxu. She walked under the Buddha statue in the middle and then moved her eyes away.

She folded her hands together and bowed to the Buddha very devoutly.

At this time, she raised her head and observed the Buddha statue for a long time, as if she was very curious about it.

It was not until Zhu Gaoxu walked over that she withdrew her look up and looked at Zhu Gaoxu again, with a sense of vigilance in her eyes.

Your name is Yisuva?Can you speak Chinese?Zhu Gaoxu felt that the woman was a little nervous, so he spoke with a pleasant look.

She opened her eyes wide, and after a moment, she said with difficulty: Lucky.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but smile and clasped his fists and said: Luckily.

Then she folded her hands and gave him a gift.

Zhu Gaoxu looked around and said: Let’s talk in another place.

She thought about it and said: Fortunately.

Zhu Gaoxu first walked towards the door behind the Buddha statue, and then waved to her to come. Now she finally understood what it means.
