Seeing that the little emperor was very excited, Zhuang Shilin realized that the money he had with him was too small, so he immediately returned and ordered someone to get some money back as soon as possible, and he also became one of the members of His Majesty's procurement team, but the task was to pay. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 In his opinion, the little emperor's bargaining skills are first-class, but his eye for buying things is really bad, and he actually buys something that looks fancy but is actually very cheap, and even some things that only children like to eat. And the two girls didn't stop talking, and they bought all the gadgets like rouge and gouache, Ni Liang was purely a porter, constantly moving the things they bought to the car.

The group went around the city, filled the two cars and found a small restaurant recommended by Zhuang Shilin to eat before returning to the palace, but he did not return to the East Palace, but went directly to the Queen Mother's Palace, and let people move in the things he bought as if offering treasures. Wang De is very worried, although the current dynasty is everywhere, but the things used by the queen mother are also the best, and most of the palace furnishings are from the old things brought out of Lin'an and the good things picked out from the previous seizures. And the things that His Majesty bought were in tatters compared to them, and he was worried that the Queen Mother would be furious when she saw it, and reprimanded His Majesty for despising it.

However, Wang De soon found that his worries were unnecessary, only to see the Queen Mother and the little emperor sitting together affectionately, His Majesty opened the things he bought in the same way, and talked to the Queen Mother endlessly about the selection process, and how to fight wits and courage with the 'black-hearted' merchants to buy them at the cheapest price. The Queen Mother took His Majesty's hand and listened with a smile, and ate a few bites of the snacks she bought, praising the deliciousness. And His Majesty was even more proud, and asked Frangipani to bring in a few snacks for the Queen Mother to taste.

In the end, the Queen Mother also changed the dress bought by Her Majesty on a whim, and the flowers bought by Her Majesty were also hairpinned on her head, although Shengsheng turned a graceful and elegant Queen Mother into a silly sister in the countryside, but the Queen Mother still praised her good looks, and would buy things, saying that she wanted to buy such a dress before entering the palace but failed to do so, or Your Majesty understands her own mind. Everyone was stunned and could only praise them. Seeing that it was getting late, the Queen Mother left dinner again and let the little emperor accompany her for dinner, so she complained a few words, blaming her for not leaving the palace without permission, if something happened to her, how would she live.

Of course, the little emperor admitted his mistake repeatedly, promised that he would never do it again next time, and asked the queen mother to punish him. The Queen Mother slapped the little emperor's buttocks a few times with a rattan with a straight face to punish her, but in the eyes of everyone, where is the Queen Mother willing to do it, her hands are raised high and fall gently, saying that it is better to say that it is a beating than a caress. Listening to the little emperor's pain, his face couldn't hold back, and he couldn't help laughing. Then he taught a few more lessons, and told His Majesty not to work too hard, pay attention to rest, and asked Dou Xing to take some supplements back to make up for His Majesty's body. However, Wang De was scolded well, saying that if he dared to let His Majesty out of the palace without permission, he would be severely punished, but when he left, he was rewarded with silver.

"Wang De, have you recorded all today's expenses?" Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Zhao Yu did not take a ride, but walked back to the palace, and he asked as he walked.

"The officials have written it down, and it cost a total of two hundred and sixteen three hundred and twenty-one articles!" Wang De replied immediately.

"Remember to repay the owner as soon as possible, don't forget, otherwise you will owe a year's debt." Zhao Yu twisted his face and said.

"The owner of the village said that there is no need to pay it back, it can be regarded as filial piety to His Majesty!" Wang Deyan said.

"Nonsense, how can I casually collect the filial piety of my courtiers and send it as soon as possible." Zhao Hao said sharply, "You also remember that the leader is not allowed to accept money and goods from his subordinates, that is called bribery, and if I find out that you dare to ask for money from the people below or foreign ministers, I will break your hand." ”

"Yes, official, the little ones don't dare. Then what the little ones spent today should also be returned to the official family! Wang De hurriedly saluted.

"Fart, you are all my subordinates, you should share the money you spend, how can you use it to repay the money, and you must not mention it again!" Zhao Hao burst into a foul mouth.

"The little one is written down!" Wang De hurriedly replied.

"Official, the slaves and maids don't understand, what we buy are ordinary things, which are a hundred times worse than those in the palace, why is the Queen Mother so happy?" Maybe she went out with His Majesty for a day, and Su Xin felt a lot more intimate with him, so she asked boldly.

"Alas, you are too young to understand the mind of a mother." Zhao Hao sighed and said, "I also know that there are countless treasures in the palace, and the degree of food and clothing is more refined than that outside, even if the ordinary things in the palace are a hundred times better than the people, but none of these things are from my hands, and they are not given by me personally." ”

"This ...... Does this make any difference? Everything in the Queen Mother's palace is also arranged by Her Majesty! Su Xin heard His Majesty say that he was small, as if he was much older than them, but he didn't understand much of what he said, so he asked again.

"In fact, whether a mother is the queen mother or just an ordinary country woman, what she cares about is not how much the things her children give her are worth, but whether you think about her in your heart. The things I bought were worthless, but in the Queen Mother's opinion, those things were indeed selected by me and took a lot of pain, so even if they were just ordinary items, she was very happy in her heart. Zhao Hao said with a wry smile, this truth was only understood when he came to this world, but he never had the opportunity to honor his parents in his previous life.

"Since it is to honor the Queen Mother, the official family has to keep bargaining, isn't it ......" Su Xin nodded, but thought of His Majesty's stinginess and muttered.

"Hehe, today I paid for you to buy things, and it didn't cost you a penny, so why do you have to bargain? Don't you know that I am not short of money? Zhao Yu asked rhetorically.

"Of course you have to bargain, otherwise you won't let those profiteers make money, and I will never cheapen them!" Su Xin replied without even thinking about it.

"Isn't this it, women are stingy by nature, of course the Queen Mother is no exception, if I buy it without asking the price, the Queen Mother will feel that she has a stupid son, and she doesn't know if she is fooled by others, how can she be happy!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Yes and no!" Su Xin nodded and shook her head.

"What's the explanation?" Zhao Hao asked a little puzzled.

"Today I took a fancy to a hairpin, but the official family kept bargaining, and Ni Du bought it for me without asking, and I felt so happy!" Frangipani said very seriously.

"Oh, you forgot if you didn't mention me." As if thinking of something, Zhao Yu turned to Wang De and said, "Wang De, that hairpin was given to Su Xin by Ni Liang, let him return it to the head of the village, and I should not be wronged!" ”

"Yes, the little one has been noted!" Wang De was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that His Majesty raised his eyebrows, he immediately understood, and replied loudly.

"No, no, the official family said it a long time ago, and all the expenses today are counted on the official family!" Frangipani listened to the big urgency.

"Haha, it's not stingy, I'm in a hurry when I hear that I spend my own money!" Zhao Yu pointed at Su Xin and laughed.

"Official, that's not what you mean......" Su Xin was extremely ashamed when she heard this, and rubbed her skirt and said.

"Don't say it again, you can't fight the officials." Seeing this, Su Lan said.

"Wang De, you pay attention to who has an unmarried daughter in the court who is the same age as Ni Liang, and then ask him if he agrees, so that someone can propose marriage. This stupid boy doesn't care, he can't even ask for a lady! Zhao Yu shook his head and sighed.

"Ni Dutong is the commander of the army at a young age, and he is especially valued by the official family, if he hears that the official family chooses a marriage for him, he will not compete to send his daughter!" Wang De replied with a smile.

"Hmph, not necessarily, just such a stupid big girl like wood will take a fancy to him!" Frangipani snorted coldly on the side.

"What's the matter, as long as Ni Liang takes a fancy to her, I will marry him, and see who dares to disagree!" Zhao Yu didn't care about it.

"Yes, the official family has become a constitution, who dares not to obey." Frangipani pouted.

"Of course, Ni Dutong Yu Yu has the grace to save his life, even if God does not agree, I will pull it down from the sky and hit fifty boards, if it doesn't work, it will be a hundred boards!" Zhao Yu snorted coldly, but his eyes glanced at Su Xin, and he smiled secretly at his aggrieved appearance.

"Don't talk nonsense about the officials, you should say more auspicious words during the New Year!" Wang De hurriedly bowed to God twice and said.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard today, you can divide the things you bought and rest, and the rest of the things I bought will be rewarded to the little yellow doors, they have worked hard enough for a year!" When he arrived at the East Palace, Zhao Yu pointed to the things that still had a cart left, and ordered.

"The official family is still staying in the Tampo Pavilion tonight?" Wang De listened to the order and Liu Ling, who came up, put away the things in the car first, bowed down and asked His Majesty.

"Well, it's still there!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, in the recent past, he has made various plans every day, and there are a large number of books and materials stored in the Tampo Pavilion that are easy to find, so he has stayed there for a long time.

"Miss Su will work harder, I will take care of the idle work and then go over to watch the night." There are also a lot of miscellaneous things in the palace near the New Year, and Wang De, the chief manager, needs to arrange and supervise, go out for a day today, and tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still more affairs to deal with, and Suxin is hairy, only Su Lan reassures him.

"Yes, sir!" Su Lan said. Then he beckoned a few palace maids to clean up and decorate.

"This kid is good, cautious and organized, let's arrange a job for her in the next year!" Zhao Yu looked at Su Lan's back and said to Wang De.

"Yes, it's not bad to look at Miss Su as a little one!" Wang De smiled thoughtfully......

The Tambo Pavilion is not big, in Zhao Yu's opinion, it is equivalent to the size of a modern three-story single-family villa, and the ground floor area is about 400 square meters, which he uses as a studio and study; The second floor is smaller, divided into several rooms, the largest one is used as his own bedroom, and the others are used as functional rooms for washing and storage, as well as the duty rooms for the attendants and palace maids on duty; The third floor was set up as a library cabinet, which housed all kinds of books he had collected, as well as official documents of the Secretariat and the provinces; The floors are connected by two staircases.

The bedroom is transparent from north to south, with a full 100 square meters, and is divided according to his intentions, and a large bed is a must, which can be separated by screens and curtains to form an independent space. On the south side, there is a circle of low couches by the window, and a wide low table is placed in the middle, where the four treasures of the study room and a pair of rulers are placed, and there is a small bookshelf on the side of the wall, where he can sit or lie down to read and read official documents, but this is definitely a private space, even close ministers cannot enter.

After Zhao Yu took a shower and changed clothes, it was only the time to listen to the drums, and it was still early for him to go to bed on weekdays, so he nestled on the low couch and fiddled with a few salt drawers he got from Zhuang Shilin. To be honest, he felt that the biggest gain from leaving the palace today was not to play happily for a day, but to get these salt quotations, and to know that they were circulated as credit certificates in the market.

Salt banknotes appeared as early as the early Song Dynasty, as a government-stipulated salt merchant to transport and sell salt with money, issued by the government, so that merchants pay cash and receive coupons according to the money. The number of coupons issued depends on the output of the salt farm. The amount and price of salt are stated in the coupons, and the merchants hold the coupons to the place of origin for inspection, receive the salt for transportation, and have the nature and related transaction characteristics of bonds and warehouse receipts, and can also be regarded as a kind of securities.

Zhao Yu knows that modern research results have proved that the fundamental reason for the monetization trend of salt banknotes is that 'salt banknotes can represent real money', with a stable value scale, means of circulation, payment and storage means. The emergence of the exchange shop and the setting up of the government banknote buying field have played a role in promoting the monetization of salt banknotes, and the purchase of salt banknotes by the banknote buying field has reserved a large amount of reserves for salt banknotes, of course, compared with the private exchange introduction shops, the reputation of the government-run banknote buying field is better.

The original function of the salt banknote is to use the banknote to ask for salt, and there is a government credit guarantee as an endorsement, which makes the salt banknote have the function of "easy exchange" or "flying money". In the Southern Song Dynasty, the monetization trend of salt banknotes was always strengthened, and the payment function of salt banknotes in other fields other than commercial trade was also widely used, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, the court officers and soldiers paid, bought, rewarded, and given all used salt banknotes, making salt banknotes play a veritable role as a credit currency on many occasions, thus also promoting the application of salt banknotes in commerce.

In Zhao Hao's view, if paper money is a currency based on metal currency, then salt banknotes can be regarded as a kind of securities based on salt. Of course, we also know that in order to achieve this function, the first premise is to ensure a balance between the number of salt banknotes and the amount of salt produced. His ancestors were not fools either, and soon discovered that they could make a profit just by controlling the issuance of salt money. However, they did not effectively control this means of making money, but played with the salt money.

The actual situation in the Song Dynasty was that the imperial court often issued salt money in large quantities regardless of the amount of salt produced, and only regarded salt money as an important tool and means for the court to grab wealth. The willfulness of ignoring the laws of the sky is that the salt banknote has become waste paper, which not only loses the country's credit, but also finally collapses the financial play of the Great Song Dynasty, and also disintegrates the play of the Great Song Dynasty, so that Zhao Yu will pay for them......
