Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao deeply. Although his son was not lacking in political skills, he was still young and his understanding of some things was not very deep.
Think about it, how could he go from a monk who went around asking for alms to become the supreme king in the world? Among them, the human factor is extremely critical.
Lao Zhu himself is indeed the master of great talents and strategies, but he cannot deny the role of others.
Why should Xu Da be regarded as the first hero of the founding of the country? That's because, without him, Ming Dynasty really couldn't overthrow Yuan Ting in just fifteen years.
Why should Li Shanchang be made the Duke of South Korea? That's because, with him in charge, Lao Zhu can safely attack cities and seize territory on the front line without having to worry about food and grass issues.
These were all great talents for a while, but it is a pity that Xu Da is no longer here, and Li Shanchang looks very old.
Now it seems that Han Du can make up for it and assist the prince in the future. Originally, Han Du had only demonstrated his ability to lead troops at sea and had never had the opportunity to participate in political management. Lao Zhu did not know what Han Du's political management level was.
Although leading troops to fight can maintain the crown prince's foundation, after the world is at peace, managing politics will be even more important.
Han Du's unintentional words today made Lao Zhu's eyes light up. As long as Han Du is not an armchair strategist, he is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs.
Therefore, Lao Zhu would say that Zhu Biao's luck was better than his.
Seeing Zhu Biao's confused look, Lao Zhu lowered his head and smiled. Without explaining to Zhu Biao, he waved his hand and said, "Can't you understand? Just think about it slowly. I'm tired, so please step aside."
The faint voice seemed to have special penetrating power, easily touching the walls around the hall, and then refracted back and focused on Zhu Biao. It made him feel an invisible power.
Tired?
Zhu Biao's lips moved. He wanted to speak but suddenly felt a little difficult. He knew very well that his father would review the memorials later than this almost every day, so how could he be tired... Suddenly he realized that his father was looking for excuses to drive him away.
"Yes." Zhu Biao quickly bowed and took two steps back before turning around and leaving.
At this moment, Lao Zhu suddenly smiled and said, "Han Du has set up some kind of bank. It will open tomorrow. You can go and take a look."
Zhu Biao stopped and turned around. Thinking of Han Du, he couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly, "Just in time, my son wants to go and see it too."
...
City Ship Division.
In order to open a bank, Han Du occupied the four shops facing the street next to it and used them as the residence of the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty.
That's right, Han Du asked Lao Zhu Yubi again this time to mention the name of Ming Royal Bank. This is why Lao Zhu knew the reason why Han Du set up the bank.
Zhu Biao's arrival caused a commotion among the people in Shibo Division. After Han Du brought the officials to greet Zhu Biao, he invited him into the inner hall to drink tea.
Han Du poured himself a cup with his own hands and took a sip. After waiting for a while and finding no problem, he picked up the teapot and poured Zhu Biao a cup.
"Originally, I wanted to invite His Highness to come in advance, but as I got busy these days, I forgot about it. I didn't expect His Highness to come by himself."
Zhu Biao took a sip, put down the tea cup, glanced at Han Du, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious, what's the use of doing this in a bank?"
"Your Highness, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Han Du was about to speak, but suddenly changed his mind and asked humorously.
Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked with a chuckle: "How can you tell a lie?"
"The lie is of course that this is for the convenience of the people, especially the businessmen. They are extremely wealthy and have no means to protect their wealth." As if aware of the loopholes in his words, Han Du paused for a while, as if he wanted to make up for it. He continued: "Well, maybe they want to protect their money and need to hire a caretaker. The price is not small. Moreover, not everyone can afford it."
After listening, Zhu Biao pursed his lips and said after a few breaths of silence: "So, you think your bank can make a difference?"
Han Du stopped drinking tea for a moment, clasped his hands, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile: "Why can't you do anything? Not everyone in this world has someone to look after the home, and now the sea The popularity of trade has created a large number of people who suddenly became rich in a short period of time. They have millions of dollars, but they have no means to protect their wealth. The emergence of banks just meets their needs. "
Although Han Du's words were reasonable, Zhu Biao still deliberately embarrassed him and asked: "Since they are all rich, don't they find someone to look after their homes and homes? Why put the money with you?"
"Hahaha," Han Du laughed a few times before slowly calming down. He took a deep breath and explained to Zhu Biao, "People who look after homes and nursing homes are not easy to find. That requires 100% trust. Only those who have experienced it can do it. These people have never thought about having people to look after their homes and homes. Now, suddenly, where can they find enough such people? And almost all of them make a fortune from the city. Bankers are born with trust. If they put their money in the bankers, they can rest assured. Besides, these people will definitely continue to engage in sea trade in the future. If they keep their money in the bankers, they can access it directly when they need it. , extremely convenient. What reason do they have to find someone to look after their own homes and homes? Not only does it cost more, but it’s also inconvenient to use.”
For good reason, there really is nothing to worry about.
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation. He was originally worried that Han Du would do this. If no one supported him, wouldn't it mean that Han Du would not be able to come to Taiwan?
Now that Han Du is so confident, his worries have faded a lot.
"When you say this, Gudu feels that this was your original plan. So what is your truth?"
Han Du's expression suddenly became thoughtful, and after a moment he looked at Zhu Biao solemnly.
Zhu Biao was startled for a moment, then quickly put down the tea cup in his hand silently, and leaned forward a little, for fear of missing Han Du's next words.
"The role of banks is extraordinary."
Just one sentence made Zhu Biao feel the silent pressure from Han Du's tone. The faint smile on his face gradually faded away, and his expression became as solemn as Han Du's.
When Han Du saw it, he suddenly laughed, and the solemn atmosphere between the two suddenly came to life, "Does Your Highness know about the treasure banknotes?"
Without waiting for Zhu Biao to nod, he continued to talk to himself: "I once said that the out-of-control proliferation of treasure banknotes will bring disaster to the country and the people. If the treasure banknotes are used well, they will sweep across all directions like a divine sword."
"You mean, this bank has something to do with Baoqian?" Zhu Biao slowly tasted the taste and asked subconsciously.
Han Du nodded, "Of course, banks are very important to treasure money."
