When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing the question, Zhu Yujiao pointed to the front and said, "Look, this queue is lined up!" ”

Zhang Mingwei looked up, and sure enough, he saw that there was a long queue on the bookkeeper's side, all waiting to pay.

Of course, those who queue up are all subordinates, either maids, or family members or something, unless there are no maids and family members, they will line up in person.

So, Zhang Mingwei smiled and said, "If you don't want to wait, then you can let them line up!" ”

He didn't think about cutting in line or anything, if he showed his identity, he could not pay.

However, what kind of person is Zhang Mingwei?

Zhu Yujiao listened, shook her head and said: "I found that I went to bargain and pay with my own hands, so I thought that it was better to be frugal!" ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei was speechless when he heard it.

Well, it's your fun, you have the final say!

Zhu Yujiao looked at Zhang Mingwei, she was still frowning a little just now, and a smile appeared on her face again, and the little dimple ran out again, obviously because Zhang Mingwei was with her, she was in a happy mood. I no longer dislike the long queue time, and I go to the queue happily.

For Zhu Yujiao's hobby, of course Zhang Mingwei will not say anything. Follow Zhu Yujiao over and wait, anyway, it's not in a hurry.

He was about to talk to Zhu Yujiao when he suddenly heard a quarrel from the shopkeeper, so he heard it.

If there is a quarrel, it is not. It was a family member, to be precise, an entourage, a steward, etc., with a loud voice, and was yelling at the shopkeeper: "My copper coin is not a copper coin, why should I charge more?" ”

"This guest officer, you are a treasure of the Apocalypse, and it is not the kind of household department of the imperial court, and the weight of copper is obviously insufficient." The shopkeeper politely explained, "I don't want to know if it's a small business, please understand?" ”

The coins of the Ming Dynasty are mainly copper coins every day, and the larger ones are silver, and as for gold, it will not be circulated in the ordinary market.

Like the kind of film and television dramas in later generations, he shouted when he entered the store: "Man, come here for two catties of beef and a pot of wine." ”

Then, with a "snap", a piece of silver, or even gold, is at all, and it is simply impossible.

Let's not talk about beef, there could not have been ordinary stores in ancient times, because cows are protected animals. Those who dare to slaughter cattle in private will go to jail.

Let's just say silver, a piece of silver can buy a lot of things, even if it is small, it is still silver, ordinary trading, eating a meal or something, as long as it is not a high-end restaurant, it is impossible to pay with silver.

For a long time, China has had little copper, so the so-called copper coins are not all copper, but a mixture of copper and tin. Generally speaking, the proportion of copper and tin in copper coins printed by the imperial court is regulated.

However, when the imperial court has no money, or when local tyrants steal money, they often do tricks on copper coins. Reducing the proportion of copper and increasing the proportion of cheap tin will allow more copper coins to be printed.

However, in this way, the fineness of the copper coins will be different.

There are more than 50 versions of the Apocalypse Tongbao mentioned by the shopkeeper, and in addition, many local Haoqiang also secretly printed copper coins, so that there are more versions. Therefore, this apocalypse has the most cats in the treasure.

Now on the counter, there is a dispute because of the perception of the quality of the Apocalypse Tongbao, or the value of the Apocalypse Tongbao.

This situation is actually clear at a glance. Obviously, the store didn't want to suffer a loss, so it didn't take the man's copper money unless it was a little more.

This kind of thing is commonplace for everyone, and they don't think so.

However, Zhang Mingwei came from a later life, and after seeing this situation and understanding what the reason was, he immediately remembered something.

It didn't take long for another dispute to arise in front of me.

It should be a rich customer, and this time it is a dime of silver. The two sides were at odds not only about the quality of the silver, but also about whether the silver scale, which weighed the silver, was balanced.

There is a problem with the copper coin, there may also be a problem with the silver, and there is also a need to weigh it, estimate the fineness, etc., no wonder the payment checkout is so slow.

If there are fewer customers and fewer transactions, it is estimated that this kind of thing will not have much impact. However, once the business is booming, it is estimated that there will be a lot of bad things in this regard.

When this kind of thing accumulates, it will definitely affect the development of the economy.

When Zhang Mingwei thought of this, he put the matter of currency innovation in his heart.

……………………

When Xingguo Gong accompanied Princess Kunxing to go shopping and relax, in Quanzhou, far away in southern Fujian, there was a person who was very troubled. This person is Zheng Zhilong, the pirate king of the late Ming Dynasty.

At this time, although he was pretending to be sick at home, he also understood that it was not a way to drag on like this. It is impossible for the court to forget him because he drags on like this, and there must be an explanation for the matter after all.

If Xiong Wencan was the governor of Fujian, as long as he paid for it and dotted it up and down, he would really be able to drag things out and forget about it.

But now, the Duke of Xingguo has sent a letter to him, Zheng Zhilong will not be so naïve that he can still use the old way to deal with it!

However, if he was asked to obediently hand over the Fujian Navy Division and go to the Beijing Division, he would not be reconciled.

The sea that was finally beaten down was really enjoyable, and it was just gone?

In short, he has anger in his heart.

In the study, a pair of calligraphy and paintings of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing hung in the middle, and Zheng Zhilong just looked at this calligraphy and painting without moving.

On this calligraphy and painting, there is only one word: forbearance!

For a long time, Zheng Zhilong would look at this word every time he encountered a major event, suppress his impulses, endure it, and only make a decisive move when he was sure of doing things.

It is also the same that makes him stand out from the crowd of pirates and finally achieve everything in front of him.

This time, he was looking at the word "forbearance" again. However, he found that his mood did not slowly calm down as before, but was inexplicably irritable.

After a long while, Zheng Zhilong suddenly sighed.

He actually figured it out himself.

In the past, he had to deal with a certain pirate, and as long as he endured it, he could eventually find a way. But now, it's the imperial court! And it's not the chaotic court, for a while, there is a sense of powerlessness in the face of Mount Tai's pressure.

Zheng Zhilong was thinking about it when suddenly, there was a commotion outside, which made him frown.

The mood was already unhappy, and he was still so eyeless outside, and he was still making a noise, and he forgot the rules in the house?

But before he could get angry, he faintly heard those noises, all with surprise.

"Something good?" When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he was a little surprised.

So, he stood up and prepared to check on the situation, but as soon as he opened the door of the study, he saw a man rushing into the courtyard in a hurry.

Dressed in military uniform, very eye-catching!

Zheng Zhilong fixed his eyes and saw that it was his son Zheng Fusong!

"Dad, you're really pretending to be sick!" Zheng Fusong also saw Zheng Zhilong, and immediately said loudly.

"......" When Zheng Zhilong heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he had the urge to hit someone.

originally thought that he would lead an army alone and give the court a great victory, so he should be calm. But now that I look at it, it's still so unreliable!

Thinking like this, he was a little annoyed with his son, so he turned around and went back to the study.

Zheng Fusong didn't seem to be a little conscious, so he strode directly to the study, and said loudly at the same time: "Dad, don't go, the child has something to say!" ”

At this moment, there was another hurried footsteps, and before anyone arrived, the voice arrived first: "Song'er, Song'er......"

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he knew that his mother was coming, so he stopped, turned his head and shouted: "Mother, the child will talk to his father first, and then go back to see his mother." ”

"Get out!"

A burst of cheers came from the study.

Obviously, Zheng Fusong's words provoked him again.

At the same time, Zheng Fusong and his mother also appeared in the courtyard, their faces were originally full of joy, but when they suddenly heard Zheng Zhilong's explosion, they immediately turned worried.

However, when she looked at Zheng Fusong's appearance, she felt that her son was a lot more handsome, and she was immediately happy again, but when she said it, she said: "Song'er, you are thin and dark!" ”

"Mother, child, this is the spirit!" When Zheng Fusong heard this, he hurriedly corrected it, then turned his head to look in the study, and then turned back to his mother and said, "Mother, I'll talk to my father first!" ”

With that, he was ready to turn around.

When Zheng Fusong and his mother saw it, she was a little worried, so she hurriedly took her son's hand and said in a low voice: "Your father is angry, wait a minute!" ”

When Zheng Fusong heard this, he also whispered to his mother: "It's okay, the child is now the chief soldier, older than his father's officer!" ”

"......" Zheng Fusong and his mother listened to it, and suddenly became a little speechless.

She looked at her son, relieved and worried.

Just when she was stunned, Zheng Fusong turned around and strode into the study. Sure enough, I saw his father sitting on a chair, and his face was already gloomy as if it was about to rain!

In this regard, Zheng Fusong is actually not surprised at all. He didn't use his official position to suppress him, and he didn't even speak, he just took out a letter from his arms and put it in front of Zheng Zhilong, and then said, "This is a letter from the fourth uncle to my father!" ”

Zheng Zhilong was originally holding back the fire in his belly and was about to train his son, but he didn't expect his son to take out Zheng Hongkui's letter as soon as they met, so he held back his anger and took the letter and read it first.

Because he knows that Zheng Hongkui is steady, he must have something to say to himself, and if he is down to business, he will naturally not delay.

Under this look, Zheng Zhilong's face is still not good-looking.

Zheng Fusong, who was on the side, estimated that he had finished reading it, and then said seriously: "When the child went to Shandong, the Qufu Kong family was in Shandong in full swing. But when the child came back from Phi Dao, Qufu Kong's family was gone. Who could believe this before last year? Who in the whole world can stand up to the imperial court? Daddy, think twice! ”
