Chapter 5: The Princess Arrives

Now is the time of spring flowers, and the market on the streets of Donghai is much more prosperous than before Lu Ning left.

Driven by the various commercial shops with the "East Sea" as the crown of the Donghai Mansion, the signboards of various shops in the Donghai City have become much richer, and they are gradually dominated by horizontal and vertical plaques, which are no longer the simple banners of the past.

The industry of the Donghai Mansion is actually the private property of the Donghai Gong, and the shops in this Donghai City mainly include "Donghai Grand Inn", "Donghai Salt Grain and Oil Monopoly", "Donghai Porcelain Xuan", "Donghai Restaurant", "Donghai Sweet Shop", "Donghai Teahouse", "Donghai Qianzhuang", "Donghai Pawn" and so on.

According to later generations, it is an all-encompassing financial and commercial group.

Its Middle East Sea Money Village issues silver bills, with denominations of one article, five letters, ten letters, one hundred letters, and five thousand letters.

As the name suggests, the value corresponds to the corresponding copper plate.

In order to facilitate trade in the East China Sea, anyone can exchange a sufficient amount of copper plates at the East China Sea Money House with the bills.

Of course, it is impossible for this kind of bill to circulate out of the East China Sea, but the locals gradually feel that it is convenient and secure, and even the monthly materials of the officials, servants, and servants of the East China Sea Mansion, and the salaries of the shopkeepers of the East China Sea Mansion's industry, are also paid with silver tickets, which gradually drives the use of paper money throughout the East China Sea.

Now, Ge Shilang stood beside Lu Ning with a sad face, ordered by his father to learn from the scriptures.

This is the East China Sea dessert shop, large and small peaches, each person takes a bamboo skewer sugar cake, looking at the lifelike golden animals, are reluctant to eat.

The four swords and maids blocked the window table of the lord of the country tightly, and more than a dozen plainclothes Pu Dao guards could only be deployed on the street.

On the table in front of Lu Ning, there was a steaming bowl of sweet soup, and Lu Ning was savoring it.

Ge Shilang stood beside Lu Ning with a sad face, ready to listen to Lu Ning's teachings.

Ge Yuanwai obviously heard about the issuance of silver tickets by Donghai Qianzhuang and was greatly shocked, but he was wondering if the entire Gejia cabinet could also issue ticket numbers, and strive for these ticket numbers to be circulated.

But Ge Yuanwai naturally also knows that the ticket number that can be used for circulation is not the same thing as flying money at all, and it is a big problem to say that it is used in the state capital where all Gejia cabinet branch numbers are located, and it is more different from circulating in the East China Sea.

After all, in a small area of the East China Sea, it is very simple to teach people how to identify silver tickets, the paper is good Shu paper, and the seal of the county government is the handwriting of the East China Sea Gong, it is not easy to forge, there are really forgeries, and it also requires a lot of human and financial resources, and it is very simple to find out.

However, it seems a little unrealistic to say that in the face of the Gejia cabinet in the state capitals of the country, it seems to be a little unrealistic to issue similar silver tickets.

But Ge Yuanwai did not give up, so Ge Shiro, who was considered to be very favored by the Duke of the East Sea, was sent again to learn from the Duke of the East Sea to see if the Duke of the East Sea had any good ideas.

Lu Ning tasted the sweet soup, but he was pondering the matter of Longrubu, he had already sent a letter earlier, so that their whole family planted sugarcane, the land of Longru Tuzhai was actually suitable for the growth of sugarcane fields, but in the past, it was sugarcane fields, and they had nowhere to trade, now, with the growth of income, the demand for sugar in the East China Sea also increased, but the best sugarcane was basically born in the Southern Han Dynasty that occupied Liangguang and Hainan and the Shu country that occupied the Shu land, as well as the Dali country that had just been established for more than ten years, however, these production areas were naturally not as convenient as the Longru Department.

Moreover, if Longrubu grows sugarcane, it is also equivalent to its own industry, and the price is set by itself, and the price will not be lowered and raised.

Of course, while asking Longrubu to plant sugarcane, he also sent a letter to Wang Jingxuan, who helped him guard the Quanshan Villa, asking him to buy enough food to send to Longrubu, and if the money was not enough, he would temporarily ask King Zheng to withdraw it and return it himself in the future.

While pondering, Ge Shiro on the side said timidly: "Tokai Gong ......"

"Ah, there's no good way to do it for the time being!" Lu Ning shook his head, if you really want to use the cabinet for paper money circulation in the whole territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is impossible at present, not to mention the current Southern Tang Dynasty, even if there is a unified national regime, the possibility is not large, there are too many drawbacks and loopholes, but if there is really a strong central government with a unified national unity, it is possible to use precious metals to mint money, gold and silver coins, and improve the inconvenience of copper coins for large-scale transactions.

Small banknotes, but can be considered, similar to the Song Dynasty in the territory of Sichuan and Shu issued Jiaozi, engraving printing, do a good job of anti-counterfeiting, however, that is also a very troublesome thing, to consider thoroughly.

"Oh, oh, the East Sea Gong said that it can't, then it must not work." Ge Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, obviously, if Donghai Gong really had any way, he would have to relay it to his father, if he couldn't understand Donghai Gong's tricks, and if there was any omission in the paraphrase, he would inevitably be blamed by his father.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried horses' hooves outside, and when they got closer, the horses neighed violently, and someone jumped off the horse and hurried in, but it was Lu Qing, the master of the cavalry and archery.

Big and small peaches and a group of guards would not stop him, he hurriedly came to Lu Ning's table, knelt down on one knee, and saw that there were outsiders, so he stopped talking.

Ge Shilang saw the opportunity quickly, and said with a smile: "Next, the little one will go outside for a turn." ”

When Lu Qing saw Ge Shilang leaving, he lowered his voice and said: "Lord, a vote of northerners came to Shushui Ferry, claiming to be the first to be the pseudo-princess of the northern country, Yongning......"

Shushui Ferry in the East China Sea, opposite is Yizhou of Zhou State, when Yizhou rebels, it was to cross Shushui to plunder in the East China Sea.

Nowadays, there are sentry spies at this end of Shushui Ferry day and night, and it is not easy to loot as before.

Princess Yongning? Lu Ning was slightly stunned, and the noble and elegant woman figure appeared in his mind, although her appearance was mediocre, not as stunning as Mrs. Gan and You Wuniang, but a pair of clear eyes are still unforgettable.

However, the most impressive thing is the palace style of this Yongning princess who regards human life like a mustard.

These princesses who are involved in the power struggle are like this, they have their own values, and even their own righteousness, but don't say that ordinary people are the life and death of civil and military officials, many times, they are not considered at all, just like this princess Yongning, the righteousness in her heart is naturally to maintain the world of the Guo family of the Great Zhou, and for this goal, I am afraid that anyone will not hesitate to sacrifice anyone.

However, she suddenly came to the East China Sea?

seems to be interesting, the situation of the Zhou Dynasty must have undergone great changes.

"Invite her to the Juxian Pavilion, pay attention to secrecy, and I'll go!" Lu Ning stood up and said a word of invitation to this Princess Yongning.
