Since the Imperial Government Affairs Office received the decree from His Majesty personally conferring the title on Chu Yuanwu, they quickly began preparing for the relevant ceremony. Since the Imperial Palace was preparing to recruit new palace maids, the preparations for Chu Yuanwu's conferment ceremony were completed quickly and smoothly.

Before the enthronement ceremony was officially held, Chu Fan specially appointed a person from the royal family who was responsible for managing the currency exchange affairs of the villa to enter the palace, so that he could familiarize himself with the exchange process and rules in advance to ensure that everything could go smoothly when the villa opened.

The person nominated this time was a woman who was about the same age as Chu Fan. Chu Fan took the woman to a remote palace.

Of course, this side hall wasn't where Chu Fan kept his money printing machine, as it was an important tool for him to gain economic benefits in this world and it couldn't be easily exposed. The room Chu Fan took Chen Yunhan to was just where he stored the banknotes printed by the money printing machine.

Chen Yunhan looked at the man in front of her with a feeling of deep emotion. Before Chu Fan ascended the throne, all the younger generations in the royal family did not believe that a prince with no martial arts talent could become the supreme ruler of Wei.

When Chen Yunhan entered the palace today, the elders emphasized that no matter what His Majesty asked her to do, she must do it with all her heart and soul. After all, the royal family had received many benefits from His Majesty without giving back what they had received.

Just as Chen Yunhan was pondering in her heart, Chu Fan pushed open the door of the side hall and gestured to her: "Please come in, we will discuss it in detail."

Chen Yunhan nodded gently and walked into the room, feeling both nervous and expectant. She noticed that Eunuch Li, who was beside Chu Fan, did not enter with her, which made her even more nervous.

After all, in this world, some emperors have a special habit of marrying relatives of the same clan as their concubines.

Although she was of royal blood, she did not know which generation her ancestors were from the royal family. When her mother had nowhere else to turn, she looked up the family tree and found that her ancestor was a princess who married into the royal family of Wei State. That's when she took her back to the Wei Palace.

She wasn't entirely sure whether she truly possessed royal blood, but the elders of the Wei royal family were willing to accept her and her daughter, allowing them to live under the protection of the royal family and providing them with martial arts manuals for their cultivation.

The blood relationship between her and His Majesty was negligible. She couldn't believe that the elders of the royal family had asked her to come to the palace without other motives. Chen Yunhan increasingly felt that His Majesty might have some plans for her. How should she respond?

The clan elders repeatedly admonished her to obey, leaving Chen Yunhan with mixed feelings. However, the current emperor was not only talented but also capable of creating powerful martial arts manuals. Since she wasn't bound by an engagement, it seemed she wasn't at a disadvantage.

The imperial family had existed for nearly a thousand years, and many members were now quite distantly related. As for those who still lived in Kaifeng, they did so partly to enjoy the privileges of the royal family, and partly because the royal residence functioned as a kind of sect, allowing them to practice martial arts. Therefore, even children born to women who married out were eligible to remain within the royal family.

The more Chen Yunhan thought about it, the more she felt that perhaps she could accept such an arrangement.

Chu Fan noticed that Chen Yunhan was lost in thought, so he coughed lightly and said, "Please sit down."

Chen Yunhan only heard the word "sit" and responded, "I will. Please be gentle, Your Majesty."

Chu Fan's face darkened upon hearing this. He wondered if she thought he was a ridiculous emperor like Liu Qi, the Han Dynasty's Emperor Jing. He was an emperor who had received fifteen years of modern education. How could he possibly commit such an inhumane act? Even if he had traveled through time, the blood of the Wei royal family flowed through his body. How could he attack his own people?

Chu Fan shook his head helplessly and pointed to a chair beside him: "I asked you to sit down and discuss business. What on earth are you thinking about?"

Chen Yunhan sat down awkwardly with her cheeks slightly red, but felt a little lost in her heart.

Chu Fan slowly spoke: "I summoned you here to complete an important mission. Can you understand the words on this paper?"

Chu Fan took out a banknote representing one hundred taels and handed it to Chen Yunhan. Chen Yunhan was the second person in the world, besides Minister of Industry Tang Hongwen, to have seen a banknote.

Chen Yunhan took the banknote and examined it carefully. The portrait of Chu Fan on the banknote was lifelike, and it was decorated with many exquisite patterns. The three large characters "One Hundred Liang" were written on the banknote, along with many smaller words.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Yunhan's eyes, and he asked softly, "Your Majesty, is this piece of paper really worth a hundred taels of silver?"

Chu Fan replied, "Indeed, once the Royal Elegant Villa opens, we will issue these banknotes in equal amounts to those members who have paid their membership fees. They can then use these banknotes to make purchases in the villa without having to carry around bulky silver."

Chen Yunhan was no fool and quickly grasped the benefits of this. Paper money was light and easy to carry, facilitated transactions, and enhanced the prestige of the royal family. Furthermore, using paper money effectively prevented the counterfeiting and loss of silver, further stabilizing the economic order.

Chu Fan carefully explained his detailed plan to Chen Yunhan in the room, and Chen Yunhan was listening attentively.

Chu Fan then displayed all the banknotes of all denominations and explained in detail to Chen Yunhan the anti-counterfeiting markings and the detailed patterns on each denomination. Chu Fan was not an arrogant person. He knew that there were people in the world who could forge banknotes, so he could only do his best to be foolproof.

Chen Yunhan listened intently. After hearing Chu Fan's detailed explanation, she realized how narrow-minded she had been when she first arrived at the palace. She had thought His Majesty was a ridiculous person, but she had never expected him to have such far-reaching plans.

Chen Yunhan assured Chu Fan: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will make proper arrangements for the Royal Bank, ensure the smooth circulation of banknotes, and maintain the royal reputation."

Chu Fan heard Chen Yunhan's determination, and a flicker of approval flashed in his eyes. He was glad that this girl was not just beautiful on the outside. If she was not up to the job, then he would have to ask his uncle to send Chen Yunhan back and find another suitable candidate to take charge of the Royal Bank.

Chu Fan said encouragingly, "I see your ability and determination, and I believe you can handle this important task. From now on, the silver you collect will be placed in my inner treasury. If you need less paper money, come here to get more. I will arrange for someone to assist you and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Chen Yunhan nodded in acceptance, and then when she reached the door, she turned back and said to Chu Fan, "Your Majesty, are you sure you won't reconsider this?"

Chu Fan said impatiently: "Hurry up and leave, or I will call my third uncle to take you back and accept the punishment according to the clan rules."

Chen Yunhan didn't dare to say anything more after hearing the clan rules. She made a face at Chu Fan and left. After all, the thing Chu Fan arranged for her to do was of great significance, and she needed to devote herself to it wholeheartedly.
