With Cai's help and the demand of the commercial market, Dajing banknotes were put online and initially became the circulating banknotes of Dajing trade. Zhang Xiu established a Dajing banknote factory on the east side of the palace. The entire factory They are all made of hard stones, with thin iron rods interspersed between the stones to increase their firmness.
The outside of the factory is like a castle. The people working inside are soldiers who were disabled in the war. Every pass is strictly guarded. People need to be strictly inspected when entering and exiting. No clothes are allowed when entering. There are specially provided clothes inside. , take off your clothes when you go out and put your clothes back on.
Not to mention the hair, even the anus eyes underneath.
It is guaranteed that those who are evil-minded and courageous will not have the slightest chance.
The circulation of Dajing's banknotes caused a continuous flow of cash and cash into the national treasury. In a short period of time, the national treasury's silver taels reached hundreds of millions. Now is the time when money begets money. First, there is the issue of bank construction. Two banks must be built in state, county, and county governments across the country. Each bank is guarded by the local inspection bureau and inspection team, which is equivalent to the supervision of the inspectorate. Responsibilities.
This was followed by the promotion of greater prosperity in commerce.
Especially the Silk Road in the Hexi Corridor, there was no money to manage it before. The road from Jincheng to Yumen Pass was not an official road, but was built by Deng Zhi when he was in Liangzhou. With the money, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to organize manpower to start repairing this official road.
At the same time, funding for the Sichuan Road entering Chengdu has also been increased.
From the time Chengdu was conquered to the present, there has still not been a direct road built. The reason is very simple. The road is difficult, and it is necessary to use hammers and chisels to open the road. Not only is the process very slow, but it also consumes consumables. But the road must be built so that food and grass in Shu can be transported quickly.
Zhang Xiu sent gunpowder to build the road.
Although the application of gunpowder is not yet mature enough, simple explosions can still be done.
Finally, there is funding for construction in Kyoto.
At the same time, according to the previously thought method, a nationwide collection of donations for capital construction began. As they expected, a competition for donations broke out in the country.
As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, you will not panic.
After returning to Chang'an from Caizhou, Zhang Xiu finally felt relieved. The summer harvest had begun, and after a wave of taxation, the treasury could get some more money. He was completely relaxed and handed over the work in hand to Shang Chengge. They could draw up the votes and approve the approval himself.
The weather in June is crisp.
Zhang Xiu took the whole family out to have a barbecue, drink and relax.
Zhang Biao and others have been waiting for this day for a long time. All princes have strict management. When they get up at 00:00 in the morning, they have to start practicing martial arts for an hour. After practicing martial arts, they start to have breakfast. After breakfast, it is study time, which lasts until noon. At noon, they eat and rest. In the afternoon, they practice martial arts again and ride horses. In archery, you have to learn everything, and you have to light candles and memorize it at night.
Throughout the year, except for the emperor's birthday, my own birthday and prescribed holidays, other times are never interrupted, even if there is a knife outside, I have to go out.
Today I finally don’t have to learn martial arts anymore.
Jingqian's army arrived at the bank of the Weishui River early and inspected all the flowers, plants and trees within a ten-mile radius. All locations were strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to approach, otherwise they would be shot to death.
At noon, more than twenty carriages drove out of the imperial city and arrived at the location.
The barbecue rack was made according to Zhang Xiu's requirements. Naturally, Zhang Biao and his brothers had to hunt for the meat. The hunting ground had long been surrounded, and there were various small animals in it, including some fiercer beasts, including tigers. , wolves, wild boars and wild dogs.
As a prince, what's the point of not being a little bloody?
Of course, it was filled with all kinds of guards. As long as the prince was in danger, these people would not hesitate to save him. Just kidding, whoever has the merit of a savior will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.
But these princes did not give them any chance.
As the prince, Zhang Biao was personally trained by Zhang Xiu and Ma Chao. He is the best among the brothers in terms of martial arts. His archery skills are almost perfect. Although he is only eleven years old, he is already proficient in bow and horse and can ride on horseback. Very comfortable.
Zhang Xiu held his baby daughter in his arms and sat by the water, eating fruit and fishing.
At present, Zhang Xiu has six sons and two daughters.
Zhang Biao, the eldest son of Huang Yueying; Zhang Xiang, the second son of Liu Rui; Zhang Ling, the third son of Xiao Qiao; Zhang Tai, the fourth son of Da Qiao; Zhang Rui, the fifth son of Bu Lianshi; and Zhang Jia, the sixth son of Cai Wenji.
Zhang Rong, the eldest daughter of Ma Yunlu; Zhang Rui, the second daughter of Lu Linglong.
The two youngest sons, Zhang Rui and Zhang Jia, did not enter the hunting ground and followed Zhang Xiu to eat fruits. Bu Lianshi, Lu Linglong, Huang Yueying and others were cutting meat on skewers. This time, all the people who came out were family members, and the food was all cooked by their own hands, and the maids were not asked to do it.
Not long after, there was a burst of cheers in the hunting ground.
Su Jin's face blossomed with a smile, and she announced the good news to Zhang Xiu: "Your Majesty is so happy! The Crown Prince showed great power and shot a tiger to death with one arrow, right between the eyebrows."
Zhang Xiu suddenly started to do it, beaming: "Really?"
Su Jin smiled even more happily: "Even if I have a thousand courages, I would not dare to lie to the emperor!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiu laughed happily and said, "Order someone to bring this tiger up quickly."
Not long after, several guards came out carrying the tiger. Zhang Biao and others followed happily and cheered, admiring their eldest brother greatly. Although this tiger is underage, it is huge and ferocious. Unexpectedly, Zhang Biao had amazing arm strength and shot an arrow through the head, killing the tiger on the spot.
Zhang Biao came over and knelt down and said, "Father, I will kill a tiger and offer it to my father."
Zhang Xiu smiled brightly and asked his brothers to get up and walk towards the tiger to take a closer look. I first looked at the tiger's teeth to confirm that it was underage, and then looked at the tiger's physique, and I felt even more happy.
"Not bad!"
Zhang Xiu seldom praises Zhang Biao, but this time he couldn't help but praise him: "Shoot a tiger yourself and look at Zhang Lang; the prince can secure the country and govern the country immediately, and he is immediately sent to the battlefield. It's very good!"
Zhang Biao was also overjoyed, "Father, I want to peel off the skin of this tiger and make a tiger skin dragon robe for my father this winter."
"good!"
Zhang Xiu was even happier.
The queens next to him also smiled and praised the prince.
Zhang Xiu established his status as the crown prince early. No one should have any arrogant thoughts, nor should they try to use tricks in the harem to persecute the crown prince. Zhang Biao is surrounded by people arranged by Zhang Xiu himself. Without Zhang Xiu's will, anyone who dares to change people will be killed regardless of the reason!
This is Zhang Xiuli's rule.
Special personnel are responsible for the food of all princes, and the harem empress is not allowed to participate. Even if there are other empresses who feed the prince, the eunuchs who follow them must keep detailed records. If any symptoms appear later, they will be investigated immediately.
