The brother earned fifty-three taels of silver this time, and at Li Tai's suggestion, several people bought an ox cart, various snacks, and fruits. So the journey is all kinds of lightheartedness. Only Li Ke seemed to have found his goal in life, and often stared at the heavy fifteen silver in his pocket thoughtfully. Wenyi asked, "Xiao Ke, what do you want?" ”

Li Ke said: "Master, my fifteen taels of silver weigh one and a half catties, and I always feel very heavy in my arms, and you see that more than 3,000 taels of silver behind me need such a long line to transport." It was inconvenient, so I wondered if I could replace silver and copper coins with something that would be very lightweight. It's just that I never figured it out. ”

Wenyi smiled and said: "It's good that you have this idea, gold, silver, copper coins, silk, and cloth are all rare items." Silk and cloth are only circulated in a small area, let's not mention it for the time being, just gold, silver, copper coins, these three are low-yield, not easy to wear and tear high-value items, I call them precious metals. And all three also have imitable properties. If you want to find an item to replace it, you need to have the characteristics of being small in production and not being able to imitate. ”

Li Tai next to him interjected at this time: "Master, the contract has the characteristics of non-imitation, if we make a batch of special contracts, can we replace gold and silver?" ”

is worthy of being the most perverted genius in Datang, and the little fat man grasped the essence of banknotes at once. Wenyi nodded and said: "This is a matter related to the fortunes of the country, I can tell you what I think, and I must not tell outsiders." The brother immediately nodded excitedly.

Wen Yi then said: "First of all, we must understand the essence of the transaction. If you buy a cup from me for a tael of silver, and I will buy a catty of rice for another tael of silver, in fact, I will exchange a cup for a catty of rice. If you don't have silver, you'll have to exchange a pound of rice for a cup with me, and the rice may need to be exchanged for something else, which makes it difficult for you to get the cup. And the value of silver is everyone's default, you can directly exchange silver for a cup with me, instead of buying rice first and then coming back to exchange it with me. In fact, silver is useless, one cannot be eaten and two cannot be worn, but because everyone has given it the qualification of an accepted exchange, silver has become valuable. In the same way, with the credibility of the state as a guarantee, a batch of non-replicable paper is printed and given a certain face value. As long as the country does not fall, then this batch of paper has the ability of gold and silver. That is what Xiao Tai called a special contract, which I call paper money. ”

Li Ke said excitedly: "I knew that the master must have a plan, but why didn't you promote it, master?" ”

Wenyi shook his head and said, "When you understand the reason why I don't say it now, you will understand that this is easier said than done!" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "The master is now only the identity of the lord of Qinwang County, and he is soft-spoken. The relationship between the court and the court is complicated, that is, the father proposed that it may not be strictly implemented according to the plan. When the time comes, it's better not to get a four. ”

Wenyi praised: "Chengqian is right, if you want to implement paper money, you must have a unified court, not the current court with many factions." ”

Li Ke suddenly withered and sighed: "It seems that this plan is impossible to come true." Wenyi smiled, knowing that he was not panicking at all in the future, but he couldn't tell the three little ghosts, so he could only touch his head to show comfort.

A few people learned while playing, and soon arrived in Hangzhou. Xiao Jing personally went out of the city to greet him, followed by Xiao Ruoyu, who had not been seen for many days. Somehow, Xiao Ruoyu, who felt that she had a perfect figure, lost a lot of weight. Xiao Ruoyu had a happy expression on her face when she saw literature and art, but she disappeared immediately, and disappeared into the crowd after stepping forward to greet literature and art politely.

Xiao Jing, who is the most landowner, naturally entertained the four of them with a high standard, and the three little ghosts were clamoring to go to the West Lake to see the Leifeng Pagoda, and they couldn't help but be disappointed after finding that everything was fictional by their master. Xiao Jing comforted: "Don't be disappointed, this king heard about the Iron Gun Temple tourism plan in Jiaxing, this king thinks it's very good, why don't you ask a few people to help West Lake make a travel plan?" Well, this king pays three thousand taels for labor! ”

The brothers immediately became more energetic, confessed to Wenyi and Xiao Jing, and hurriedly returned to Xiao's mansion, and the three thousand taels of labor fees made them full of motivation! After a series of work such as on-site survey and material collection, half a month later, a more detailed "West Lake Development Plan" than the Iron Gun Temple Plan was handed over to Xiao Jing. These include: the development of the scenery of the West Lake, the construction of the Leifeng Pagoda, the construction of the playground mentioned in literature and art, and other projects, vowing to build the West Lake into a super-large-scale tourism industry.

Xiao Jing was very satisfied, and paid 3,000 taels for a single game. But Li Ke had a whim: "Lord Wang, it's not convenient for us to carry three thousand taels, see if you can write us a voucher, we can withdraw silver taels from your Xiao family's businesses with the voucher." ”

Xiao Jing laughed and said: "Second son, good idea, this is my jade pendant, you can withdraw less than 5,000 taels of money in any business name of my Xiao family, and give it to you." Saying that, Xiao Jing gave the jade pendant around his waist to Li Ke.

After Li Ke thanked Xiao Jing, he happily hung the jade pendant on his waist.

After playing for a few more days, they said goodbye to Xiao Jing and left. The silver was handed over to Xiao Jing, so the four of them rode leisurely on the road in an ox cart. After leaving Hangzhou City, Li Kecai said: "Master, does this piece of Xiao Jiayu pendant also belong to a special contract?" ”

Wenyi nodded and said, "This is more like a credit card than paper money." It belongs to a more special contract. Now that there is no paper money, the credit card will not explain to you. But I found that you brothers can, the eldest is politically sensitive, the second is good at financial management, and the third is a scientific genius. With the three of you, the future in Datang can be expected! ”

The brother was praised and giggled, and a few people were frolicking when a special combat team member hiding in the shadows ran over to report: "Commander, the eldest lady of the Xiao family has been following us since she left the city, and she only brought the maid Xiaotao." ”

Literature and art can't help but be big, in the 23rd century, he is a dick with no female relationship, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Datang, he not only had a childhood sweetheart's fiancée, but also a girl who chased after him. Wenyi sighed and said, "I'll go and see." After speaking, he turned around and went to find Xiao Ruoyu.

Literature and Art were thinking hard about how to reject Xiao Ruoyu's feelings, but when they met Xiao Ruoyu, they said: "Literature and art! Why don't you want to teach me after you have three apprentices? You just stayed in the shipyard for a while and you drove me away, are you afraid that I will take your job after I learn it? ”

Wenyi was stunned for a moment, Xiao Ruoyu continued: "I was suffocated after being locked up at home for so long, and I asked those gentlemen if I had questions, but they didn't understand anything one by one!" I'm! ”

Wenyi said embarrassedly: "You just want to learn knowledge? ”

Xiao Ruoyu said angrily: "Nonsense! Why else I'm coming to you? You don't think I like you, do you? You're too narcissistic, aren't you? A little kid! ”

Literature and art are depressed, I thought that I was like many travelers, and everyone loves flowers and flowers, but people just come to seek knowledge...
