Zhu Xiong Ying naturally knew that this war was for money. It was a war that many court officials could not understand at the moment, but they would soon realize how fortunate the Ming Dynasty was to have such a brilliant and ambitious emperor.
If the Ming Dynasty had enough silver, then the use of copper coins could be reduced, and restrictions on gold and silver could be relaxed somewhat. Moreover, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had already issued paper money, so things were actually quite good at that stage.
Historically, the Ming Dynasty's paper currency system collapsed in its later stages, and Zhu Di (Emperor Yongle) bears a lot of blame for this. During his several northern expeditions, he issued a considerable amount of paper money.
Although Zhu Xiong Ying wasn't an economist, he knew that without a certain amount of gold and silver reserves, one couldn't expect paper money to be accepted. That's the situation in the Ming Dynasty now; the Ming Dynasty's paper money is currently not allowed to be officially exchanged.
If we acquire the silver mines in Japan, we can gradually consider liberalizing their exchange rates. At that point, we won't need to worry so much about inflation.
Zhu Xiong Ying still has a lot to do. The Ming Dynasty needs more time to develop and recover. After all, the Ming Dynasty has only been established for more than 20 years, and many things have not yet fully recovered from the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Old Zhu smiled as he covered Zhu Xiong Ying with a blanket, but he couldn't stay still and kept asking questions. This made Zhu Xiong Ying feel a little helpless; having a grandfather who never seemed to get tired made her realize how naive she was sometimes.
Actually, Lao Zhu sometimes doesn't understand why these young people haven't done anything yet, and all they do is yawn and want to sleep all day.
Emperor Zhu, an early riser, went to the morning court session again. With a workaholic emperor like Zhu, his civil and military officials had no time to relax. For these officials, the worry wasn't about getting up at midnight to go to work, but rather that this trip might be their last.
After getting up in the morning, Wang Chengen whispered to Zhu Xiong Ying, "Your Mausoleum, the Emperor has decreed that you should not go to Xiaoling Mausoleum today. The Marquis of Xiping will be returning to the capital in two days, Your Majesty..."
"Marquis of Xiping?" Zhu Xiong Ying was taken aback, then immediately asked, "Did my grandfather say that I was in charge of making the decision?"
Wang Chengen quickly replied, "His Majesty has decreed that I, Your Highness, will preside over the matter of the Marquis of Xiping's arrival in the capital. The Marquis of Xiping will present the captives and receive his official appointment..."
Zhu Xiong Ying waved his hand and said, "Marquis of Xiping, immediately send someone to inform all members of the royal family, regardless of gender, except for infants and those not yet a month old, that all members of the royal family must come and await my orders!"
Marquis Mu Ying of Xiping is coming to Yingtian Prefecture, and Zhu Xiong Ying is in charge of welcoming him. This is very much in line with Zhu's character; he will never let his favorite descendants be idle.
Zhu Xiong Ying also felt that changing her name was perhaps inevitable sooner or later.
Otherwise, the name Mu Ying wouldn't be usable in the future. No wonder Old Zhu liked to use rare characters; it was for the convenience of all the people in the world, otherwise they would unknowingly violate the taboo.
