- Maybe she saw some warm scenery in an ordinary small family on the way out of the palace to Ruan Luo's bookstore, or maybe she was looking at the young face in front of her now, and she remembered her friend's words of great anxiety before she died, and Wang Chi's heartstrings that had been silent for a long time were plucked. When he thought of the little daughter who was still wandering outside the palace, he remembered something that had nothing to do with power.

Glancing sideways, seeing that Ruan Luoliang was speechless for a long time, and the gaze that he could still look at directly just now had also dropped slightly at this time, Wang Chi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart: These words, after all, are still not suitable for a descendant.

After recovering his mind a little, Wang Chi had already recovered the calm tone he had when he first spoke, and said slowly: "I just said that I came out this time to distract myself, but in fact, it is not necessarily true, there are still some things that I want to tell you." ”

When Ruan Luo heard this, his slightly drooping gaze suddenly raised, and there was no longer the worried look in his eyes just now, his eyes were condensed, and his expression became solemn and serious.

Wang Chi only pondered for a moment, and then asked directly, "Have you got the Yan family's silver ticket back?" ”

As a tool to reduce the burden of cash transactions, merchants across the country do not know how many tickets to be issued and destroyed every day. This kind of piece of paper would not have been memorized too carefully by an emperor, but at this time, Wang Chi said that the Yan family's silver ticket was related to another important matter, so he focused on mentioning it. Ruan Luo's attitude towards this is also extremely dignified.

The silver substitution ticket, which was only valid in the Yan family's internal accounting office, was taken back by Yan Yu a few days ago. Now the silver ticket that Wang Chi is talking about refers to the counterfeit ticket sent back from a certain place in northern Xinjiang.

Counterfeiting of silver tickets. If it is put on ordinary people, it is a big crime to be severely imprisoned or killed, but at present, the Yan family's special silver ticket was forged, and it was actually presided over by Emperor Nanzhao himself, so naturally the punishment of this matter cannot be measured by the general criminal law. It is possible to reproduce the silver tickets of other countries with the technology of issuing silver tickets of the National Fortune Bank. The counterfeiting technique is almost perfect, and there doesn't seem to be any danger.

However, if this matter is revealed, it involves the integrity of the transaction, and the impact is huge. I am afraid that it will have a major disruptive impact on the material trading industry in both countries.

Didn't Nanzhao want to rejuvenate the country through commerce? However, if the news of this monarch taking the lead in falsification spreads, which merchant would dare to rest assured that he might do what he learned. can also pull the sore foot of the Nanzhao monarch and exonerate himself. Although the business world is permeated with a copper smell of mercenary. However, the basic principle of reciprocal exchange between goods and silver should still be emphasized. Once this principle is disrupted. It's better for the merchant to go straight to the hard robbery.

And the key point that shocked Ruan Luo's heart was that he sniffed out some bad signs from this incident.

Although he didn't have a good impression of the Yan family, he felt that the law of trading in this family was too strong, and there was nothing that could not be bought and sold. The post-devaluation cleansing was even more ruthless. But he never wanted the family to perish. How does the Yan family put profit first and overwhelm everything. But the Yan family has more than 1,000 people. A large part of them are women and children, the weakest members of a family, who just need a place to live.

But fourteen years ago, the Ye family's collapse case, which was no less brilliant than the Yan family, told people in the business world. No matter how rich your family is, don't try to collide with the imperial power.

Of course, the Yan family also knows this, so the Yan family, which has grown from the small Liang Kingdom, has always had a good relationship with the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, and is often welcomed verbally and willing to contribute in silver.

Xiaoliang country is not a large territory, located in a remote area, the soil is poor, the country's own resource production capacity is very limited, if there is no business travel activities to massage the flow of materials, this small country's development potential may soon reach the upper limit. Therefore, in the face of the Yan family, a business giant, if he is obedient enough, the way to get along between the royal family of Liang and the Yan family is naturally the state of hello and me.

However, the Yan family's big ship transporting gold went too far and went to an unfamiliar sea, and it seemed that there was still a potential danger of hitting the reef.

While borrowing from others, it is likely that he will be affected by others, the Yan family has spread out such a big business in Nanzhao, if the Nanzhao royal family wants to handle him, he may not be able to get out of it for a while. And if the Yan family really touches the backlash of the Nanzhao royal family, the backer of the Xiaoliang royal family will become like a kind old man, saying that it is okay, but if the reason can't go on, you have to really fight hard, Xiaoliang Guoyan is Nanzhao's opponent.

It's just that since the beginning of the old dynasty, the Yan family has paved a trade route in the land of Sanzhou, and has never made any major mistakes, and has also driven many local people to do business, many of which have become the mainstay of the Nanzhao business community. In this way, the Yan family has made a certain amount of merit to Nanzhao, and in the eyes of others, Emperor Nanzhao has always treated the Yan family well.

Since when did His Majesty Emperor Nanzhao still set his sights on the Yan family? And this kind of "staring" is obviously a bit ill-intentioned......

However, although Ruan Luo was skeptical about this matter, he was a native of Nanzhao after all, and Liang was only a guest country to him, and if the level of the matter rose to the level of Sheji, then no matter whether he had the strength to do anything for it, at least the banner he advocated should belong to Nanzhao's side.

Quickly put down the complicated thoughts in his heart, Ruan Luo took out a box from the desk drawer, and then took out an account book from the box and opened it, only to see that this account book was a word-for-word white book, which contained three pieces of paper with a somewhat unusual format, which were imitations of the silver tickets based on the real silver ticket of the Yan family.

"Don't wrinkle, don't get wet, or it will lose its effectiveness." Ruan Luo spread out his palm and pointed to the few paper tickets spread out on the table, and the tone of his words was serious, only the meaning of exhortation, so it seemed a little rude in front of a generation of emperors, "The imitation is completely made according to the original paper ticket." However, due to time constraints, there are only three fine imitations, one of which is still ...... Northland. Specimens are kept for continued imitation. There is also a high imitation, which is made from a fine imitation. There may be a slight flaw in the technology, but the advantage is that it can be made in batches, and the north side specially handed one back first, please take a look. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Chi's gaze swept over the three paper bills on the desk, and he groaned.

He was very satisfied with this result, and he was also very satisfied with Ruan Luo's cautious attitude. Although these three counterfeit bills are fake, they are precious. If Nguyen Lok because he is the emperor. If the issues related to the protection of the instrument are not clearly addressed, the losses that may be caused will be difficult to compensate.

After a while, Wang Chi asked again, "Is there a letter from the north that is handed back with this paper ticket?" ”

Although he is an emperor. Coordinate the world, but not all industries can be flexibly understood. In the matter of distinguishing the authenticity of silver tickets, he can admit very calmly that he is not as good as those counterfeiters in a group of subtle fingers, but he trusts the judgment given by Lin Shan.

Ruan Luo spread his hands slightly. Pointing to the white book, he said in a slightly slower tone, "On the fourth page." ”

Wang Chi opened the fourth page of the white album, but saw a piece of snow paper, and there was not a single ink blot. However, he soon understood. Secretly thinking that the third brother's mind was really as cautious as before. At the same time, he tore off the white paper on the fourth page of the white book.

When I folded the white paper and put it in my sleeve. Wang Chi also glanced at Ruan Luo appreciatively, this booklet had been placed with him for a few days, although he had recognized the hidden words in the white book, but he was very disciplined and did not look at it.

When Ruan's father was still alive. It can be called a close friend with Lin Shan. The first year of Nguyen's father's sacrifice day. Lin Shan drank heavily and was drunk for three days and three nights, and the friendship between the two was not deep. But today. Hayashi replied to Kyoto, knowing that it was going to be passed through his friend's only son, but he added a potion to cover up the ink.

This method is actually not very clever, if Ruan Luo wants to see it, he should be able to solve it, but Lin Shan's doing this shows a problem after all. I am afraid that the content involved in this letter is suitable for only Wang Chi to read.

Of course, if Ruan Luo had to watch it, Wang Chi would definitely not really blame him.

But Ruan Luo's self-discipline is really good.

It's just that...... This child's heart is still softer, and if he needs to deal with life and death when he has the opportunity, his decisiveness is probably not as good as that of his father. When Ruan Luo took out the silver ticket that imitated the Yan family, a trace of worry in his eyes did not escape Wang Chi's observation, and at this moment, while appreciating Ruan Luo, he realized this, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

It is not that the emperor who is high above will not look at the faces of others, and even the person who is the emperor will be more sensitive and sensitive, but at the same time, this kind of person has learned to cultivate the king's spirit, recognize the overall situation, and will not be too entangled in some narrow things.

However, this wisp of softness in Ruan Luo's heart involves another problem, so Wang Chi often thinks about how to arrange it properly.

He still prefers that Ruan Luo can inherit his father's business, instead of being a businessman all the time.

There is no shortage of business candidates in the land of Nanzhao, but there is still a shortage of talents in the court of Nanzhao. Since the founding of the dynasty, Wang Chi has been grasping the recovery of the society with one hand, and holding the group of remnants of the old dynasty with the other. He had already decided that when the frontier was stable and the treasury was accumulating, he would really start purging the government and the opposition, carry out a major purge of the old ministers, and scrape a batch of carrion left over from the old dynasty.

At that time, the talent gap in the court will be even wider.

Although he had been preparing a supply source for this gap more than ten years ago, there was a key position in his heart that he had always wanted to leave to Ruan Luo...... Maybe this is an outlet to repay Ruan's father's merits, but it is more of a meritocracy.

However, this kid didn't seem to want to be an official at all, and kept a faint sense of distance from him.

Wang Chi had already added a title to Ruan Chenggang, taking care of Ruan Chenggang's last words, and this title was designated as hereditary, but it was also when this title was set, Ruan Luo actually went to northern Xinjiang, traveled to Xiaoliang country, and stayed there for a few years, and the matter of inheriting his father's title has been put on hold.

After that, he finally returned to China, but soon after he was seriously ill and went to another county to recuperate, and the matter was put on hold again.

Three years ago, he returned to Kyoto again, this was his third chance to inherit his father's title, but at this time, Wang Chi put the matter on hold, just because he had realized that what Ruan Luo wanted was not this, and even a little disgusted with this. For Nguyen Chenggang's only child, if you can. Of course, Wang Chi wants to give him what he needs the most and likes the things he likes most, but if he can't give him this, it will also cause him trouble. He's going to have to reconsider.

But what does this child like and what does he need?

Observed for several years. Wang Chi couldn't figure out why, but noticed some things he was deliberately avoiding.

For example, alienating the royal court, alienating the royal family.

Even Wang Zhe, who was closest to him, has now become a character who likes to wander around and just doesn't like to go back to the palace to live.

Ruan Luo is not envious of being an official, and he wants to avoid power, and even now he is concentrating on his business career. In addition to paying taxes normally, most of the remaining profits of the commercial banks he runs are directly imported into the second district of the treasury after retaining the risk principal.

The accumulation in the second district of the treasury was directly allocated by the emperor. Most of the account data was kept secret, and by doing so, Ruan Luo was almost equivalent to directly giving the silver to the emperor of the current dynasty to spend casually.

If it weren't for an incident that happened in Dongfeng Tower a month ago, Wang Chi might have been so confused about Ruan Luo's thoughts. However. A month ago, when Yan Yu, the third in line among the sons of the Yan family, tore off the silver ticket that only circulated in the Yan family in Dongfeng Tower, Wang Chi suddenly had an idea, and this idea might be able to achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, which prepared a way back for Lin Shan's questioning. You can completely test Ruan Luo's mind again.

Ruan Luo is not in good health, and he is not suitable for battlefield training like his father, but a good knife must be knocked to open the seal, and Wang Chi is ready to use the bloodless battle he is planning now to knock Ruan Luo's heart. From ability to determination, whether he has the qualifications to assume that important position in the future of the empire is in this test.

After putting away the Tibetan secret letter, Wang Chi looked at Ruan Luo and slowly spoke: "Were you thinking just now, why did I do these things?" ”

Ruan Luo was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Wang Chi to take the initiative to mention this matter, and he could see that he would mention this sentence because he had already seen something from his expression just now.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Luo didn't avoid anything, and only answered one word bluntly: "Yes." ”

Wang Chi was going to ask Ruan Luo if he had a good relationship with the Yan family, so he would be worried. However, these words turned in his heart a few times, and finally he didn't say it.

When he spoke again, Wang Chi was equivalent to giving Ruan Luo a reassurance: "Don't worry, I don't want to do anything to the Yan family." ”

Hearing him say such a sentence that was close to the same promise, Ruan Luo was really a little relieved in his heart, but at the same time, he felt incomprehensible, because Wang Chi arranged for someone to imitate the Yan family's silver ticket, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a good thing.

Wang Chi's promise was still unfinished, he only paused for a moment, and then continued: "But there is one thing at the moment that makes me have to set up an embankment, but as long as this family does not really do the kind of thing I am afraid of." ”――
