"Hahaha, happy, it's been a long time since I've been so happy."

"Xu Jin, you have counted the soldiers who were unfortunately injured in this military exercise, and you have to give more rewards!"

"Yes, superior."

After the military exercise, the emperor Zhu Chongba was still excited, and he pulled Xu Jin to chat about his past military career.

It wasn't until he reached the study that he remembered the prince, Zhao Zheng, and Xie Jin who followed him.

"By the way, Biao'er, how did those envoys react?"

"Returning to Father, those envoys were all pale, and some even lost control on the spot, not to mention how chaotic the scene was."

Prince Zhu Biao remembered the scene on the city wall and couldn't help covering his face and laughing.

"Hahaha, we just want them to be afraid!"

The emperor Zhu Chongba was also satisfied, and he laughed loudly, without hiding anything.

"Then what about our prince and Taifu, do you have any ideas?"

The emperor Zhu Chongba's gaze bypassed the prince and landed on Zhao Zheng again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that this military exercise has shocked the envoys of these vassal states enough, but we should strike while the iron is hot."

"It's not easy for them to come to our country after all, and we can't really give nothing."

Zhao Zheng took a step forward, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Aren't you the most annoyed to return the gift? Why have you changed your mind now?"

Not only Emperor Zhu Chongba, but also Duke Xu Jin, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and Minister of Rites Xie Jin all looked at him, thinking that Zhao Zheng had changed his mind.

"I am a kingdom in heaven, and I have to pay tribute to the country, and it is appropriate to return the gift."

"However, the return gift that Wei Chen said is not return in kind."

"What is that?"

Everyone at the scene was curious.

"Treasure notes!"

"Your Majesty, all the vassal states on the nine borders will be the target of our Sun-Moon Dynasty in the future. I feel that the soldiers and horses have not been moved, and the treasures go first, so that the people of the nine-border states cannot do without our Sun-Moon Dynasty. It will be more difficult than the forced suppression later. Came efficiently."

Zhao Zheng replied.

"Your Majesty! Mr. Zhao, it is not easy to make the banknotes the mainstream currency in other countries. At least we need to open more border exchanges."

The Minister of Rites, Xie Jin, also stepped forward and made suggestions.

"The two lovers have already discussed it."

Emperor Zhu Chongba's expression was clearly moved.

"Your Majesty, I only thought of it after being prompted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao Zheng clasped his fists together with Xie Jin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and said modestly.

It's a pity that Emperor Zhu Chongba has sharp eyes.

And Prince Zhu Biao's expression is too obvious.

"Okay, you two wily fellows, don't put money on our prince's face."

"Since you already have a charter, let's talk about it."

Regarding being exposed by the emperor, Zhao Zheng was thick-skinned and did not change his face.

It was the first time for Xie Jin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, to do such a thing, and he found it both exciting and embarrassing.

So it was Zhao Zhenglai's turn to speak.

"Your Majesty, when the army of our dynasty marches southward, even if the news is received late in the northern countries, there will definitely be changes at that time. At least small frictions will be inevitable."

"However, if we make good use of their current fear and return the precious banknotes, we will open more exchanges at the junction with them, and use the precious banknotes of our Sun and Moon Dynasty as the transaction currency."

"At that time, they will definitely cast a mouse."

"Because your Majesty has the final say on whether the treasure notes are valuable or not."

"And when the time comes, those mutual markets that have been opened will be more important to the merchants and people of the dependent countries than to the merchants and people of our country."

"If you belong to the country and the people, you don't need soldiers to kill people!"

Zhao Zheng's hand was compared to a knife, which made everyone at the scene feel cold.

Emperor Zhu Chongba subconsciously glanced at the drawer on the bookshelf behind him before recovering.

"Good! Good!"

"However, to open a mutual market, people need to go to various countries to negotiate."

"Who do you think is suitable?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba took a sip of tea, and after quenching his thirst, he asked pointedly.

"My minister recommends himself!"

"In addition, the cooperation of King Yan and Master Xie Jin, Minister of Rites, is required."

Zhao Zheng cooperated with the emperor Zhu Chongba's pointing, and stood up directly.

Although Xie Jin panicked for a moment, he was indeed suitable for this kind of thing, so he quickly stood up.

"Why do you want King Yan? Can't the prince do it?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba almost laughed at himself about this question.

Zhao Zheng also had a weird face.

Why can't the prince, you, the emperor, still don't know?

Going to the subordinate country, can the crown prince control me, Zhao Zheng?

Are you not afraid that I will directly rebel with the vassals?

But the prince Zhu Biao didn't know the filth between the two of them, and thought that his father was embarrassing his prince again, so he took the initiative to speak.

"The Tai Tuo didn't choose his son-in-law, because he must know that the fourth brother has advantages that the son-in-law can't match."

"Master Xie Jin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, knows the rituals, my son-in-law Taifu knows the prestige, and the fourth brother is strong in martial arts, so the son-in-law also thinks it is appropriate!"

The embarrassing atmosphere finally disappeared when the prince Zhu Biao came out to make a rescue.

"Hahaha."

"Oh, are we still not clear?"

"Aren't we afraid that your Taifu will be eccentric, and that Biao'er will be jealous of you?"

The emperor Zhu Chongba had obviously just drank a few mouthfuls of tea, but now, in order to ease his embarrassment, he pretended that his mouth was dry again, and picked up the teacup again.

"The Grand Tutor acts in an open and aboveboard manner. If the Grand Tutor is really biased, it must be the fault of my servant."

Prince Zhu Biao took every word of his father seriously.

puff!

Emperor Zhu Chongba couldn't hold back after all, and accidentally sprayed it out.

"Choking, choking!"

The maid next to her quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Chongba hurriedly waved his hands depressed, telling them not to be an eyesore anymore.

"In that case!"

"Then the crown prince, Taifu and Minister of Rites listen to the order!"

"Let's immediately appoint you two as envoys to the Nine Borders! Responsible for the opening of the mutual market among the Nine Border countries and the promotion of precious banknotes!"

"We'll give you... 300 million tael banknotes!"

For 300 million taels, the emperor Zhu Chongba really didn't take the treasure notes as money.

"Wei Chen accepts the order!"

......

"Your Majesty, I almost forgot that I need Your Majesty to give me another order."

Zhao Zheng had already returned to his Zhao Mansion, waiting for the Minister of Rites, Xie Jin, to get everything ready, and then set off directly.

But after he took out the treasure banknote to study, he found a loophole.

"What purpose?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba was reviewing the memorial without raising his head.

Busy, he is really busy.

The military exercise I participated in in the morning left government affairs behind.

As a result, his lunch break in the afternoon was spent on reviewing the memorial.

"Your Majesty, my minister, please print a new batch of treasure notes."

"These newly printed banknotes need to add the batch number, year number and detailed date."

"In this way, in the event of an accident, these precious banknotes can also be abolished."

Zhao Zheng took out a sketch drawn by himself.

After the eunuch Wang Ban took it to the emperor Zhu Chongba, Zhu Chongba nodded directly.

"You can do things, don't worry, we won't ask about the truth."
