Regarding the problem that it is difficult to count the silver in Hu City, Fenzhou, Chen Siqing put forward a perfect plan.

Da Chu will set up a "Bank Bureau Division" in the Household Department and Duting Yili, which will be managed by special officials of the Household Department. The household officials of the banking department are responsible for issuing a type of voucher called a "silver ticket", which is only useful in the inter-market. Merchants who come to Fenzhou to participate in the bidding rights pay a certain deposit in exchange for silver tickets, and when they conduct transactions, they use this kind of silver tickets instead of silver, and when they settle at the end of the year, they pay government taxes and guarantees according to the number of silver tickets, and then the remaining silver tickets are converted into silver and settled.

After all the transactions are completed, the government will return the deposit to the merchant for issuing the silver ticket.

Because the most headache for the transaction in the mutual market is the counting of silver taels, this solution can solve half of the time-consuming problem. The Hu people don't have money at all, so it doesn't matter whether they trade gold and silver or not, this way of doing "silver bureau" in Da Chu is the same as that of Tycoon, except that Da Chu has become a "bank", and buying and selling land and houses has become buying or selling things in the mutual market.

With the "silver ticket", it is more convenient to manage the mutual market, and the silver ticket can only be used in the mutual market, which ensures that there will be no big mess.

The first emperor and Chu Rui asked Chen Siqing and Chen Lao about the same economic affairs. And he didn't let them down every time. When the country was just founded, whenever he minted money, opened up sources, and throttled, every perfect plan was drawn up by him, and in the past ten years, the silver in the emperor's private treasury has tripled, which is the credit of the Chen family.

It's just that the abilities of several sisters-in-law of the Chen family are mediocre, saying that they are taking care of their private treasury, but in fact, Chen Siqing is making suggestions, they are just executing. As soon as Chen Siqing dies, I am afraid that the money in the private treasury will not be able to rise so fast. Even so, Chu Rui was still very grateful to the Chen family.

If he has money in his hand, he doesn't need to use the treasury, and the counselors won't stare at him adding a dish today and giving the queen something tomorrow, let alone worrying about leaving a history name that is too extravagant.

His private treasury and private treasury are very full, and in case of disaster or war, he can support it for a while.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is not the old minister's idea, but the inspiration given to the minister by Li Zhao, the minister's younger disciple." Chen Siqing intended to give his disciple a hand and let him make an impression in front of the emperor, so he continued:

"This disciple of Weichen likes to play a game, and at the beginning of the game, these silver tickets will be released to replace the money to use, and there is a silver bureau to manage the silver tickets, and the income will be settled after the game is at its worst. Wei Chen and his disciples played this game a few times, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and felt that it was not impossible to use this kind of silver ticket in a small area. Businessmen are flexible, and they are easily receptive to new things as long as it is beneficial to them. ”

"Lord Chen's disciple seems to be the nephew of the Xinguo family?" When Chen Siqing officially accepted this child as a disciple, it attracted the attention of many families in the capital.

Chen Siqing's apprentices have always been eclectic, there are also merchants, scholars, farmers and craftsmen, but there is only one point, that person must have a very high talent in arithmetic.

But most of the people who came to Chen Siqing to apprentice were adults, because most children couldn't get in touch with arithmetic. Only the children of some merchants, who have watched and calculated accounts in the store since childhood, will discover this talent.

Chu Rui knew from Chen Siqing's mouth that Li Zhao's talent in arithmetic was difficult for ordinary people to match, and he was also surprised in his heart.

"This ...... Li Zhao's family is also considered a wealthy family, why is his son-in-law good at arithmetic? ”

Generally, only the concubines who are used as housekeepers will be proficient in arithmetic, and the concubines should learn the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Speaking of this, Chen Siqing was also funny, and couldn't help shaking his head and said: "It's funny to say, Old Taijun Qiu of the Xinguo Mansion found out that this son was quite good at mental calculations, so he pulled my little disciple to help settle the account." After coming and going, Li Zhao's mental arithmetic became stronger and stronger, and he summed up a set of trouble-saving methods by himself. ”

“…… Does this Li Zhao have such talent? ”

"Lao Chen's sons are actually not big things, and their grandchildren are also elm heads. The old minister also didn't know that Lu Dao could still be loyal to His Majesty, and he would go to the west in the next few years, and in the future, I am afraid that only this child can inherit the mantle. Chen Siqing twisted his gray beard, "Talent is secondary, this kid is straightforward, has no ambition, and no greed." That's the hardest part. ”

As soon as Chu Rui heard Lord Chen's words, he knew why Chen Siqing was looking at this Li Zhao.

To manage the royal treasury, the most important thing is not to be greedy. Once you move the idea of not changing, bullying the king is a great crime to kill your head, but you will cause yourself to be killed. Chen Siqing has read countless people, and he deals with money and food, and he is used to seeing sinister people's hearts. Since he believes in Li Zhao's qualities, is willing to take him with him to teach him personally, and even thinks that his character and ability are better than his own children and grandchildren, then this Li Zhao must have something extraordinary.

"I have seen it with the eyes of heaven, the old lady Qiu of the Xinguo Mansion is the shadow star Tianliang Tuoshi, and the shadow star is the old man star, so when this feudal monarch is old, he has the ability to turn evil into good fortune, become auspicious in trouble, and shade the people around him. Your Majesty may wish to contact this old lady more, although the emperor star is bleak, it is not impossible to eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes. ”

Chu Rui thought of Zhang Xuanji's words and couldn't help but smile.

In this way, Mrs. Qiu has discovered a talent for the country. The descendants of Mrs. Qiu are all pillars of the country, deserve to be rewarded, deserved! ”

At that moment, all kinds of rewards were given, and everyone in the whole palace of Xinguo had a share.

This caused Chen Siqing to be confused, and he didn't know that it was his words that attracted the dragon's heart and brought so many benefits to the people of the Xinguo Mansion.

Shouldn't he be the one who deserves the reward?

He racked his brains for many days for this "silver game" method, and then he made a perfect plan, okay?

Shinkoku Mansion.

"Your dad doesn't seem to have been back in a few days?" Gu Qing put Xiao Li Mei on her knees and let her jump on it by herself. The people watching from the side were scared to death, although the old lady is in much better health than before, but the little lady looks like this...... Sturdy, what if you kick the old lady's legs out?

Li Ming couldn't help but reach out and hug his sister, and nodded back to his grandmother's words. "My father said that there was an abnormality in the north, so he had to send an official letter to the north to ask for vigilance. My father had been living in the ministry for several days, and he said he wanted to count the number of soldiers. ”

The so-called soldiers have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Last year, the floods in the south destroyed a lot of harvests, and the imperial court exempted Jiangnan from taxes for the spring and autumn seasons last year and this year, and opened a treasury to release grain and seeds, and the treasury was not as abundant as in previous years.

In addition to the snowstorm the year before last, a lot of cotton was transferred out, and now the grain and cotton reserves are insufficient.

In this case, it is a headache if there is a war.

Li Mao has been counting the people of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry for many days, and if there is a real war, how much money the Ministry can allocate now, how much grain, and how long it will take to transport the baggage, he will have to count it before the emperor asks for advice.

Fortunately, the current Hubu Shangshu is Zhang Ning's confidant, and he is considered to have some incense, and the son of Qiu Jing, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and his nephew are classmates and have friendships, so there is no resistance.

"Huh? Is there really going to be a war in the north? ”

Could it be true that Zhang Xuanji said that he watched the sky at night and found that there was going to be chaos in the north?

There are so many talents in ancient times!

Gu Qing watched Li Ming's little person struggling to hold the chubby girl, panting and hugging her on the ondol, letting her crawl around on the ondol, and slapped Xiao Li Mei's ass angrily.

Skin, crazy kid!

Hiss!

Li Ming's cheeks twitched, hurting for his sister.

Xiao Li Mei didn't feel that her grandmother had hit her, giggling while crawling to the other side to pull the flowers on the blanket.

"Are you really going to the Guozijian in February?" Gu Qing was a little reluctant to look at the last grandson beside him, he was only eleven years old this year, and he was going to study in Guozijian, which was really distressing.

Her family's Weishuang Hall is open to Guozijian students, so she knows some of Guozijian's system.

Theoretically, Guozijian is half and half of the Hanmen and Gaomen, but in fact, there are very few Hanmen who can be recommended to be promoted to Guozijian, accounting for only about 30% of Guozijian. Children of officials above the fifth rank can enter the Guozijian to study if they are approved to go up, and this age is generally eight to fifteen years old, and it will take at least seven years to complete the study.

Some children can directly be shadowed into the official or have a knighthood, but they are reluctant to enter the national prison, because it takes a long time, and they may not be able to pass the imperial examination.

But for the children of the poor family, being able to be recommended to enter the Guozijian means that the imperial court will give him living expenses every month to concentrate on his studies, and the food and lodging are in the Guozijian, and he saves a sum of expenses, which is simply the well-being of these poor families.

Guozijian is a "three-rounding method", in which students take an exam when they enter the school, and the doctor enters the "elementary school" or "university" according to the student's learning level. In the university, it is divided into the inner house, the outer house and the upper house, and those who pass the primary school examination will directly enter the "inner house" of the university, and those who fail to pass the "outer house" will enter the "outer house", and those who do well in the "inner house" test will enter the "upper house".

Most of the students who were able to get a place in the imperial examination were "Shangshe" students.

In Guozijian, only 30% of the poor students are mostly in the "inner house" and "upper house", and most of the "outer houses" are mixed up, and Guozijian students do not need to take the township exam, so they have a lot more convenience than others, even if they can't pass the exam, the starting point is not the same.

There are all kinds of people who are messing around, including those in their twenties, who have married a wife, had children, and are still studying in it. As long as they did not commit any bad deeds, the Guozijian could not remove them.

Gu Qing consulted with Mr. Du, and he said that with Li Ming's level, as soon as he entered, he should be in the inner house. Most of the people who can enter the inner house are children over the age of fourteen, and he is such a small hairy child, studying among a bunch of teenagers and even young people, and he doesn't know if Lu Dao will be bullied.

On the surface, there will be no more, but he is young, and there are always losses in secret.

Li Ming saw her grandmother in a daze, and she knew that she was starting to think about something again.

For example, his brother will be bullied in the palace, his father will be bullied in the court, his cousin will be bullied by the Hu people in Fenzhou, and his cousin will be bullied by his grandson in the mansion of Lord Chen.

For example, he was bullied by older children in Guozijian.

Although it is said that it is very happy to be cared for so much, but they are also from noble backgrounds, is it possible that they will be pressed to the ground like reckless children on the street and beaten to the ground?

According to his brother's temper and strength, whoever wants to bully him must first see how many lives he has.

"I'll go to school on February 15th." Li Ming touched his head, "There is still half a month." Is my mother going to deliver fruit on February 2 this year? ”

"I have to send everything I want to deliver. The adults in the family are not at home that day, and you are not allowed to run around! ”

"Oh."

He wanted to run around, but he had nowhere to run.

Last year's flood, on February 2 this year, the emperor wanted to go to the suburban temple in the south to worship the sky, pray for good weather in the coming year, and then go to the suburban temple in the north to sacrifice the land, and then plough it himself to show his heavy farming.

All the civil and military officials have to plough a few points of land, and the queen mother will bring the women to send some snacks and fruits, and be a model for women, which is considered the end of the sacrifice.

Because the former emperor was almost assassinated, now the emperor Chu Rui does not like to go out to worship, and sometimes simply asks his relatives or ministers to sacrifice instead of him.

If the emperor doesn't go, the queen won't go, and there are few women, and Gu Qing and the Fang family don't know how many years of leisure they have enjoyed.

However, in the flood last year, there were still many bad rumors, some said that the emperor did not respect the heavens and the earth, ghosts and gods, and the heavens and the earth sent disasters; There is also a saying that there will be demons when the country is about to die, which is caused by the demon dragon and makes people panic.

So firstly, in order to block the mouth of Youyou, secondly, Chu Rui was also afraid that it would be a disaster caused by his disrespect, and thirdly, Zhang Xuanji said that the north was about to be in chaos, which made him difficult to let go, so this year he approved the invitation of Taichang Temple and made a big sacrifice on the Qinglong Festival on February 2nd.

The queen is pregnant and can't work, and this year's head of the wife will be temporarily replaced by Concubine Liu Xian. Gu Qing guessed that with the character of the queen, she was afraid that she wanted to support herself, but she was probably persuaded by the emperor to be replaced by Concubine Liu Xian.

It's just a pity that she is almost sixty years old this year, and she still has to follow a group of young women to go around and bring food to the officials. This formalism has existed from ancient times to the present, and it is really tiring!

On the second day of February, Gu Qing entered the vermilion lacquer carriage with the support of the Fang family, took various types of dim sum and fruits made at home, and followed the ceremonial official to the south gate of the city.

Along the way, many officials and eunuchs who went to worship were on the same road, and they saw two vermilion lacquer carriages coming from a distance, and they all avoided on the side. Zhu lacquer soap top is a super product, Zhu lacquer Zhu Ding is a product, the old and weak women and children only take the carriage, this two can do the Zhu lacquer carriage, in addition to the Jin State Mansion, there is only the Xinguo Mansion.

The Jin Mansion is in the period of filial piety, so which house is this car on, you can know at a glance.

Li Mao had already entered the palace early in the morning, and these officials were worshipping with the emperor. Because the sky is sacrificed first, the sky is dry, and women can't go, Gu Qing and these female dependents can only go to the suburban temple in the north to wait first, wait for the emperor to finish worshipping the sky, and then the saint will drive to the temple in the south, waiting for the men to finish planting, so as to do the most "face project".

Gu Qing had almost learned the etiquette rules in the sacrifice at home, and he knew that Lu Dao actually had to wait until the emperor came to start the sacrifice, and he ate some hungry things before going out.

Although Fang's is younger than Gu Qing, her appetite is not as good as that of the old lady, she only used some porridge and water when she got up early in the morning, and her stomach was a little empty when she arrived at the place, but for the sake of the dress on her face, she didn't dare to eat anything.

Gu Qing and Fang got out of the car, and many officials from Taichang Temple and the inner chamberlain had already come out to greet them.

"Old Taijun Qiu, Your Majesty has ordered, you and a few old feudal monarchs are old, just wait in the carriage. Duchess of Guo, please come with me...... "This guide is a eunuch, obviously responsible for leading the women.

When Gu Qing heard that there was such a good thing, she was overjoyed that she was an old woman.

Who knows when Emperor Lu Dao will come? If you wait an hour or two, won't you faint from standing?

Fortunately, it's not summer, and if it's summer, I'll suffocate in the carriage.

Gu Qing waved a small handkerchief and sent Fang away with a touched face.

Take care of yourself! Penalty standing: Remember to finish standing with your left foot and standing with your right foot, alternately!

The officials of Taichang Temple guided several old feudal lords to park the carriage around the temple. Gu Qing's carriage was parked on the far right, and her carriage was unobstructed in front and back, only the carriage of another family leaned on the left.

There was also a feudal monarch about fifty years old in the carriage of that family, but he only showed up once when the official greeted him, and then he kept the curtain behind and did not greet Gu Qing.

Gu Qing is not a sociable person, and it is better if people don't come to greet her.

Resting alone in it, it was really comfortable for Gu Qing, who had someone by her side all the time.

It didn't take long for her to be comfortable, and after a while, she suddenly heard a thump from the carriage on the left.

It wasn't loud, but she heard it faintly because the carriage on the left was close to her.

Could it be that the old lady in the car fainted and hit her head against the wall of the car?

Or is it a sudden illness, so knock on the car window to warn?

Because the emperor also has to come to worship, except for the wife, the idle people are not allowed to enter the inner circle. Mama Hua and the guards at home were all left in the outer circle, and all the women were served by the inner attendants and the low-ranking officials of Taichang Temple.

"Old lady over there, you're fine, are you?"

Gu Qing lifted the curtain of the car and stretched out his head to look over there.

The curtain over there didn't move, not even the sound of a knock.

Gu Qing really cared in his heart, so he called the eunuch and the official at the door a few times, but no one agreed.

Now she chuckled in her heart, and felt that something was wrong.

Obviously, there were several people just now, and they asked her if she was thirsty and if she wanted to drink water.

She was worried that she would be embarrassed if she couldn't find the toilet when she went to the toilet, so she rejected the little eunuch, and he faintly showed a little disappointed, which made her feel a little upset.

"Is there anyone out there?" Gu Qing raised his voice a few degrees more, his head didn't stretch out, and he felt that he had lowered the curtain of the car and was ready to go out to find someone to rescue.

The place where their car was parked was not remote, but because they were afraid that the wind would make them old ladies suffer from the cold, one side was leaning on the temple, and there were only three directions that they could run.

The ceremonial officer in front of him in charge of the carriage was silent, and there was no one to take care of him, Gu Qing's heart was in a mess, and cold sweat was constantly breaking out on his back.

Before she could stand up, a crossbow bolt suddenly shot out from the carriage on the left!

This crossbow arrow pierced through her car curtain and rushed past, even bringing down the innermost curtain of the car window, and then wiped Gu Qing's hair and shot out from the window on the other side.

The bolt took a lot of her hair with it as it grazed her, and she felt a stiffness in her scalp, and then in pain, the arrow passed through.

Grandma's, that piece must be bald!

Gu Qing was so frightened that he almost didn't mention it, and he didn't care that his hair had fallen out. If she hadn't stood up, the crossbow arrow that hit her hair would have hit her body!

Gu Qing glanced to the left and found that there was an extremely thin man on the left by the window of the old Fengjun's carriage, with a crossbow on his arm, aimed at her.

The bolt pierced the left side of the car and shot in, nailing it straight to the right body.

"Ah!!!h

Gu Qing let out a scream, and immediately lay down at the bottom of the carriage □, stretching himself flat.

Damn, it's still a repeater!

She cursed inwardly and reached out to pull the bolt from the wall of the car.

Thankfully, it didn't tie deep.

She could only play dead.

People were holding weapons, and they were standing so close, she rushed out of the carriage to be a live target.

At the same time, her screams caught the attention of the guards not far away, and someone immediately ran towards her with a shout. The assassin was very cautious, not only did he not run away, but jumped into Gu Qing's carriage from the left carriage directly through the window like a stuntman.

Hearing a loud bang by the window, Gu Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

My life is at rest!

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Assassin A: Madame, do you want to drink water?

Gu Qing: (In case it is troublesome to pee) Don't.

Assassin A: (retracts the poisoned water) It's a pity.

Assassin B: Madame, do you want to change your clothes?

Gu Qing: (The eunuch is also a man, how awkward, hold on!) Don't want it.

Assassin B: ...... It's a pity.
