    "As long as the other party's price is fair, let's solve the immediate problem first."

    Zhu Shangwu finally made up his mind. Seeing this, Eunuch Xue said nothing more. After all, the emperor had already made a decision, so why did he, the eunuch, have any more words to say?

    ¡° Let Your Majesty have a headache when it comes to repaying the money. It has nothing to do with me.

    Perhaps it was because he had solved a big problem that Zhu Shangwu was in a very good mood.

    ¡°Compared to the bitter look before, there is a lot more smile on his face now.

    "Sorry, there was something going on here just now, so"

    Zhu Shangwu looked at Zhao Hongyu with an apologetic look and apologized to him.

    Zhao Hongyu smiled nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not a trivial matter. It's understandable that Your Majesty would discuss it with others. So has His Majesty made a decision now?"

    Zhu Shangwu nodded: "The five million taels of silver will be calculated as three points of profit. Can I pay it back to you next year?"

    It may be that he is too young, or it may be that Zhu Shangwu himself is somewhat uneducated, so you cannot feel the so-called majesty and prestige from him at all.

    On the contrary, Zhao Hongyu felt that the fat man sitting on the dragon chair beside him looked like a little brother next door.

    "If there is no problem with Your Majesty, then there will be no problem with me. We can write it clearly in black and white, and then no one will worry about it, right?"

    "Zhao Hongyu's proposal was exactly what Zhu Shangwu meant.

    Yes, no matter what happens, it is best to write it clearly in black and white.

    "Come here, prepare a decree!"

    ¡°Subsequently, Zhu Shangwu summoned eunuch Bingbi and took out a blank scroll.

    Eunuch Bingbi quickly wrote the royal loan document, and after writing it, he showed it to Zhu Shangwu and Zhao Hongyu respectively.

    Zhao Hongyu found nothing wrong after looking at it, so he put away the royal IOU.

    "Look at this money" Zhao Hongyu put the IOU away, but the money has not been given yet.  So Zhu Shangwu asked with some embarrassment. His face was flushed. It was obviously his first time asking for money like this, and he was not very used to it.

    Zhao Hongyu turned around when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Shangwu who was blushing and very embarrassed.

    "Oh, silver."

    Zhao Hongyu immediately woke up.

    ??????????? It¡¯s not like that, I have already taken someone else¡¯s IOU, but I haven¡¯t given them any money yet.  This is a very unruly thing, mainly because Zhu Shangwu doesn't understand this. If it were ordinary people outside, they wouldn't be so careless.

    You know, as long as the IOU is in someone else's hands, even if you don't get the money, you still can't explain it clearly.

    Zhao Hongyu gestured to Mrs. Wang who was sitting not far away from him. Then Mr. Wang stood up with his body trembling slightly, reached into his arms and took out a stack of banknotes.

    Just when he put his hand into his arms, Hattori Chizuru's body visibly shook.

    Because the little girl noticed at that moment that there were several qi machines nearby that locked onto Mrs. Wang and her group.

    Thinking about it, how could Zhu Shangwu meet them so recklessly without any guards around him.

    ?Obviously, this is unlikely.

    As the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shangwu would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty if something unexpected happened.  Especially during this current crisis, nothing can happen.

    "It's just that the guards are hiding in the dark.

    Most people won¡¯t see it.

    But Chizuru Hattori could sense that the little girl was not an ordinary person after all.

    In fact, the little girl has been aware of the existence of this kind of person since she entered the palace.

    Experts usually have such an intuition about experts.

    How could Chizuru Hattori, one of the Ten People of Iga, not notice this?

    "If she didn't have any skills, she wouldn't have been able to survive for such a long time under the pursuit of the Ishida shogunate.

    However, the other party obviously has no malicious intent, and is just locking this area with Qi machine.

    Therefore, Hattori Chizuru¡¯s reaction was not very big.

    ¡°Besides, she knew that her lord had no ill intentions towards the Ming Emperor.

    Therefore, it should beThere should be no misunderstanding.

    Fifty silver notes, each with a face value of 100,000 taels, were issued by Shanxi Bank, the most trustworthy bank in the Ming Dynasty. The notes could be exchanged as soon as they arrived.

    Eunuch Xue hurriedly came over, took the silver note in Master Wang's hand, and then returned to Zhu Shangwu.

    "Is it that simple?"

    Zhu Shangwu originally thought that five million taels of silver would be a lot of trouble.

    But he never expected that it was just a few pieces of paper.

    "But we can't blame Zhu Shangwu for not understanding. After all, he rarely comes into contact with this kind of stuff. When has he ever worried about money?"

    "Five million taels of silver, just these few pieces of paper?"

    Zhu Shangwu¡¯s face clearly showed great confusion.

    Eunuch Xue bowed beside Zhu Shangwu, lowered his voice and responded: "Your Majesty, these are the banknotes from the Shanxi bank in the capital. As long as you take these banknotes, you can withdraw five million taels of silver. Old  I¡¯ve seen it, these banknotes are definitely not fake.¡±

    Nonsense!

    If it is a fake banknote, can Zhao Hongyu take it out?

    ¡°And it would be no good to himself if he came out with a fake banknote.

    "that's all?"

    Zhu Shangwu looked at Eunuch Xue and said.

    Eunuch Xue nodded: "That's it, Your Majesty, now we have to ask people to collect the money quickly."

    Zhu Shangwu still had an incredible look on his face.

    Such a small piece of paper could actually get five million taels of silver. This was something he had never heard of before, and it really shocked him now.

    However, when Eunuch Xue reminded him, Zhu Shangwu came back to his senses.  He nodded quickly and said: "Quick! Quick! Send someone to get the money immediately. After getting the money, send it to the Ministry of Finance."

    "Your Majesty, won't you keep some money? Are you going to send it all to the Ministry of Revenue?"

    After Eunuch Xue heard this, he hesitated and asked.

    Yes, five million taels of silver is not a small number, and Eunuch Xue knows very well what the situation is at the Ministry of Revenue.

    "Furthermore, if the ministers in the court knew about this, it is unknown how much of these five million taels of silver would be used on the blade in the end.

    Eunuch Xue is also thinking about his Majesty. After all, the Jurchen army is currently besieging the city outside the city, and the military situation in Liaodong is urgent, but they are all waiting for money.

    At this juncture, if the ministers mess with it, something bad might happen.

    Some people say, now that things are like this, can those courtiers still do this?

    "Don't tell me, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, those court officials were really able to do such a thing.

    For them, everything is fake, only money is real.

    ¡°And the money belongs to the court, so if you don¡¯t take it, you won¡¯t get it for free, and they can use all kinds of excuses, right?

    "Of course they will be sent to the Ministry of Revenue, otherwise where else can they be sent?"

    Zhu Shangwu obviously didn¡¯t understand the meaning of this.

    "Your Highness, it's best if you keep some of these five million taels of silver and seal it in the inner treasury. It's also good to use it for emergencies when needed. You don't have to give it all to the Ministry of Accounts."

    Speaking of which, Eunuch Xue can be considered a loyal person.

    If it were another eunuch, he wouldn't care about such a thing. Anyway, it's all decided by the emperor himself.

    Although the voice of the conversation between Eunuch Xue and Zhu Shangwu was very low, Zhao Hongyu still heard it.

    It was precisely because of Eunuch Xue's words that Zhao Hongyu took a high look at him.

    I can't see it, the eunuch of this surname Xue is still a relatively loyal person.

    Zhao Hongyu did not have such a lustful view of the eunuchs of this period.

    Because he knows that sometimes history may not be true.

    "The history written by literati is not impossible if the eunuchs are written in a bad way.

    Who let them hold the pen?

    Of course, among the group of eunuchs, there are not without some scum and extremely vicious ones.

    "However, you can't overturn a whole boat with one stroke."

    "Don't be nagging, I have already decided on this matter and will send it to the Ministry of Finance."

    Although Eunuch Xue deliberately wanted Zhu Shangwu to leave some money and seal it in the inner treasury, he could use it when the time comes.??Emergency.

    Otherwise, these five million two silver entered the household department, but there was nothing left.

    However, there are some things that Eunuch Xue cannot say too directly. After all, he also has to choose to protect himself.

    If he really reveals this, Eunuch Xue will be in big trouble.

    " Motivation for the interests of those civil servants is a greater crime than decapitation.

    Having seen the faces of those officials and their methods, of course Eunuch Xue could not explain Zhu Shangwu so clearly, he could only give a little bit of advice.

    "If Zhu Shangwu wakes up, everything will be fine. If he is still confused Eunuch Xue will certainly not say anything else.

    Just like now, Zhu Shangwu's expression was very firm, and Eunuch Xue just stopped.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to pick up the silver."

    He answered on his lips, but Eunuch Xue sighed in his heart. He was really helpless for Zhu Shangwu, a candle that couldn't be lit.

    well!

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how much of these five million taels of silver will enrich those corrupt officials.

    Now I just hope that they will look at the current situation and not be too greedy.

    Eunuch Xue took the order and left, while Zhu Shangwu relaxed.

    After all, this solved a major issue on his mind.

    When your mood gets better, the conversation will open up.

    Speaking of which, Zhu Shangwu is not very old, only two or three years older than the young-looking Zhao Hongyu, that is, a young man in his early twenties.

    Usually in the palace, Zhu Shangwu was surrounded by older eunuchs, or else he would be in contact with elderly courtiers.

    So after seeing Zhao Hongyu, who was about the same age as himself, Zhu Shangwu found a companion to talk to.

    "You know, in fact, my biggest dream is to be a painter who can create a new generation of painting skills. Unfortunately, I always have to be bothered by some common things, which really makes me very helpless. "

    As soon as Zhu Shangwu opened his mouth, he brought the topic to his hobbies (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
