Liu Dahai said: "Lord Wang, this matter is not a secret. The lord of our country died some time ago, and a new king is about to ascend the throne. So I came to ask the court for canonization. You will know the specific situation as soon as you look at the national letter! ”

Wang Wencheng was relieved when he heard it. He is familiar with this kind of thing, and every time he has this kind of thing, he can always get some benefits, but this time the benefits are a little bigger. It seems that there must be a secret in it! Maybe it's another royal bloody drama! But ignore their internal strife. The Ryukyus are just a small country the size of a finger, and who cares if they don't set a deferential example to the other vassal states?

Now that he was relieved, Wang Wencheng asked, "This thing is called a silver ticket?" The color of this paper is very strange. ”

Liu Dahai said: "That's right, this is the silver ticket!" This flowery color is to prevent someone from counterfeiting it. This color is modulated using a secret method, and it is absolutely impossible to imitate it on the market! ”

Wang Wencheng said with a smile: "I understand, it's the same as the banker ticket issued by the merchant." It's just that this silver ticket can really be exchanged for silver in a department store? ”

Liu Dahai laughed and said: "The department store in Beijing is definitely not good!" However, you can exchange money for money at other department stores! With this thing, it is much easier for my generation to go out. In Beijing, which silver is exchanged for this kind of silver ticket, as long as a little handling fee, you can exchange it back for silver in Nanjing, where there are department stores! ”

Wang Wencheng asked this because he knew that the department store in Beijing was not opened by the original owner. At that time, the department store opened in Beijing, and the momentum was very loud. There are a lot of people in Beijing who go to buy goods! It can be described as a daily progress! As a result, this caused some officials and nobles to be jealous of this business and wanted to snatch it. As a result, the civil officials and the nobles started together, but they pulled each other's hind legs, but let the department store live for a while longer. It wasn't until the civil officials and the nobles secretly reached an agreement that they took away the department store from Liu Pei together.

Liu Dahai said: "Lord Wang, the department stores in Beijing can't be counted on!" However, I have inquired, and they also have a smaller department store in Tianjin, and you can send someone to Tianjin to exchange it. Anyway, it's not a day's journey back and forth. Also, the owner of the department store also has a carriage and horse shop in Beijing, saying that it is in the West Market. And there the silver ticket will be exchanged for silver. It's just that you can't exchange large amounts there, you have to exchange it in batches. Large redemptions should be greeted a few days in advance. ”

Wang Wencheng said in surprise: "Is this really the case? That's so convenient! But in doing so, do they make money? ”

Liu Dahai said: "What kind of money to make! It's good not to lose money! I heard that it was because of the owner of a department store

We invented this kind of silver ticket to facilitate internal delivery. It was only later that the merchants who had business dealings with them found it very useful, so they all started using it. ”

Wang Wencheng took the silver ticket and looked at it in his hand, and said: "It looks really easy to use, just like the Zhuang ticket in the capital, but it is better than the Zhuang ticket!" This ticket can only be used around Beijing, and no one will know you when you leave Beijing! If you go far away, this silver ticket is convenient! ”

Liu Dahai nodded and said, "That's right, I want to come to the owner of the department store for convenience." Like their big deals, they are all traded for tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you use a silver cart to pull silver, I'm afraid that it will take a few carts to pull it up! With this silver ticket, a few thin pieces of paper were taken with me. ”

Wang Wencheng gently stuffed these silver tickets into his sleeve in one roll, and then arched his hand and said: "This silver ticket is quite wonderful, this official must experience it." ”

Liu Dahai said: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, Xiaguan has already tried it, and it is very easy to use." ”

After saying that, the two exchanged a few more words and left. The little man outside the door was also very happy, because someone stuffed him with a small bag of silver, which was 20 taels! That's a lot of money! It's just that the other party didn't ask for anything, but just mentioned that if the national letter arrives at the Ministry of Rites in the future, he will give a hand if he can help. The little official naturally agreed without a mouth.

But the strangest thing that made the little official the most strange was that Wang Wencheng actually left the post house without anything today. Normally, the officials of the Ministry of Rites who come to pick up people always have to receive some gifts. However, looking at Wang Wencheng's appearance, he is full of spring breeze, not like he is being treated slowly. But the little official didn't care, anyway, he had already got his share.

Early the next morning, Liu Dahai brought the national letter and delivered it to the Ministry of Rites. At the same time, he frequently goes in and out of the rooms of each adult in the Ministry of Rites. Every time he came out, the adults would send Liu Dahai out of the door. This made the little officials in the bureaucracy quite surprised!

The little officials know how heavy those big old men's butts are! It's unlikely that they'll ever smile at the door-to-door errand. Why are you so polite to this messenger of the Ryukyus? It is impossible to say that he gave a heavy gift. Because Liu Dahai was alone when he entered the door, empty-handed, and didn't bring any gifts! Why did those big men suddenly become amiable? I can't figure it out!

Liu Dahai ran for a few days, and all the yamen that should not run have been there. I don't know how many silver tickets are thrown out! All that's left is to wait. It doesn't matter if you wait, but Liu Dahai still has an important problem, that is, how to contact Wei Zhongxian, and at the same time, not let the civil officials find out.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian can be described as powerful! Suppress Wenchen, especially the Donglin Party, breathless! Both sides want to kill the other

The ground is fast. In fact, this beam is also a little wronged. At the beginning, Wei Zhongxian was still actively moving closer to the civil officials, but the enthusiasm of the civil officials was completely discouraged. The civil officials received the benefits, and the praise was also received, and they scolded Wei Zhongxian with their backhand, you are just a dead eunuch, you are born a slut, you just need to squat honestly and don't move! As a result, Wei Zhongxian was completely enraged, and the two sides embarked on the road of confrontation from then on.

Therefore, if Liu Dahai wants to complete the canonization as soon as possible, he will definitely not be able to avoid Wei Zhongxian. But if you go directly to Wei Zhongxian's door, if you are known by the civil officials, it will be a big trouble!

Because neither side cares what kind of attitude the Ryukyus have. And anything can be the fulcrum of their wrestling, and Ryukyu's request for canonization is definitely no exception! Both the eunuchs and the Donglin party will treat the issue of the Ryukyus' request for canonization with the attitude that we will oppose what the enemy approves of. So Liu Dahai definitely didn't dare to take the initiative to show his head, and he was still scratching his head in worry!

After running for a few days, Liu Dahai also felt a little tired, so he went to bed early today. Just as he was falling asleep, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Liu Dahai got up and opened the door, and immediately saw the distorted face of the post officer, which was very terrifying under the light of the lantern! Liu Dahai involuntarily took a step back. At this time, the little official said in a trembling voice: "Liu, Lord Liu, yes, someone wants to see you!" ”

Before Liu Dahai could ask who it was, the little official was gently pushed away, revealing two figures behind him. Liu Dahai was first shocked when he saw these two people, and then he was happy.

What was surprising was that these two people were dressed differently from ordinary people. They wore pointed hats, brown clothes, white leather boots, and embroidered knives at their waists. These two people are the servants of the East Factory! These battles are famous ruthless! They are all good helpers for Wei Zhongxian when he does bad things! All the officials who were approached by these servants were either in deep trouble, or their families were ruined! So how could Liu Dahai not be afraid when he suddenly saw two soldiers at night!

Liu Dahai listened to Wang Changde's introduction to these battles. The subordinate officials of the East Factory have one member of each of the 1,000 households and the 100 households, and they are served by the Jinyi Wei 1,000 households and 100 households, and they are called the criminal officers. In addition, there are more than 40 people in charge, foreman, and secretary, who are allocated by the brocade guard, and are divided into 12 sub-chou Yinmao, and the steward wears a round hat, soap boots, and a brown shirt. The rest of the people have the same boot caps.

The commander is equivalent to the squad leader, also called the "stall head", there are more than 100 people, and there are also 12 ugly people, all wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small tapestry. There are several commanders of the commanders, and the officers are also called "fans" and "officers", and these people are also composed of elite elements selected from the Jinyi Guard.
