Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"But the conditions are different now. Why can't we dream of surpassing Emperor Taizong of Tang?"

"I don't know how Yunxun managed to invent a method for mass-producing glass!"

Think of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt relieved.

However... this comfort did not last long - soon a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

"Unlimited wealth? Fuck you."

All that could be heard was Zhu Yunhuan's familiar and gentle voice, which complained emotionlessly about the little eunuch named "Sanbao".

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frown.

What the hell are you dreaming of?

What the young eunuch said was exactly what he thought.

When this kid scolds the young eunuch for wanting to fuck, isn't he also scolding himself for wanting to fuck?

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction and thought to himself, "This little bastard never fails to make me angry!"

"Ah? Isn't it?"

"What good things have those dukes and marquises not seen? Their eyes are shining when they see the box of colored glass brought out by His Majesty."

"Your Majesty can now easily create such high-quality colored glaze with nothing more than a pile of stones..."

"If this isn't infinite wealth, what is?"

The extremely puzzled voice of the young eunuch Ma Sanbao came from outside.

This was naturally the doubt in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. Zhu Yuanzhang tried hard to calm himself down and listened attentively.

Zhu Yunhuan said calmly, "Let's not talk about Liuli for now. Let's talk about the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes."

"Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes?" Ma Sanbao didn't understand what the connection was between the two.

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows and said slowly:

"In the eighth year of the Hongwu reign, my grandfather established the Baochao Tizhusi (Treasure Notes Administration), established the Banknote Law, and issued Ming Baochao. One string of Ming Baochao could be used freely, just like one thousand copper coins."

"I don't usually go out, but you often go out for me. Tell me, as of the 25th year of Hongwu, how many copper coins can one string of Ming Dynasty treasure notes be used for?"

Zhu Yunhuan's tiredness was relieved by the disturbance caused by this group of Huaixi generals.

At this moment, his mind became clear and he even felt a little hungry. He turned around and picked up a piece of dessert from the table where the memorial tablet was placed, put it in his mouth and started eating.

Ma Sanbao followed Zhu Yunhuan's words and raised his head to think seriously.

"Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes..."

"Now it can probably be used as a copper coin worth around 200 to 210 wen."

He went to the morning market every morning as Zhu Yunhuan requested, and occasionally bought some cakes and candies for his master, so he gave the answer immediately.

After the words were spoken.

Ma Sanbao opened his eyes wide and was speechless for a while.

"One thousand wen... two hundred wen... why is there such a big difference!?"

The value of the Ming Treasure Notes was slowly falling. People of that era had basically no concept of economics, so naturally it was difficult for anyone to notice this. At most, they would complain a few words like "The Ming Treasure Notes are getting less useful every year."

And now Zhu Yunhuan mentioned this.

Ma Sanbao was shocked to realize that something was wrong - from the eighth year of Hongwu to the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, a total of only seventeen years, the Ming Dynasty's treasure notes had shrunk so much!

at the same time.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying in the coffin with his ears erect, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

"Seventeen years."

"A thousand copper coins of the Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes have become two hundred..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was diligent in his work and paid close attention to state affairs and money. He was naturally well aware of the situation in the Ministry of Revenue. Although he had not paid attention to this before, he knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what Zhu Yunhuan said.

"Yeah... How did it become like this? Before we knew it, our carefully designed Ming Dynasty Treasure Notes had become worthless."

Zhu Yuanzhang put aside his previous unhappiness and fell into deep thought for a moment. He always felt that he seemed to have grasped something, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't have any clues and couldn't fully understand the reasons.
