【0252 Emblem Banner Banknote】

In fact, from a practical point of view, it is the best choice for Wei Bao to give up these more than 6,000 villagers!

Because when I wanted to get those debts, I was mainly afraid that these villagers would be gathered by Lizheng, Jiachang and rich households, and become a tool for them to make trouble with themselves.

I spent 20 percent of the silver to buy the arrears, just paid 10 percent of the silver, and three years later I paid the remaining 10 percent of the silver, totaling nearly 120,000 taels.

These 120,000 taels, if all of them are lost, in fact, it is nothing to Wei Bao.

Wei Bao has no shortage of the ability to make money, and he is most afraid of provoking the government, and he is most afraid of being caught by the Wu family and a group of local wealthy families in western Liaoning.

Therefore, giving up these more than 6,000 villagers will at most cause a greater loss in silver, but it can ensure that his development path is safe and unhindered.

But emotionally, no matter whether he is a person who has just been reborn in such a place, Wei Bao is willing to regard these people as his neighbors, and already in his heart, he regards the north as his second hometown, southerners, northerners, are all people of the Ming Dynasty! They are all descendants of China. The difference in living habits does not affect the blending of feelings.

If he ignores a large number of local villagers this time and lets them go out to escape the famine, it will become a stain on him for the rest of his life, no matter how good, big, high, and strong it will develop in the future, this stain will give people a smear against him, because there is no way to explain why he would rather find three or four thousand homeless people from outside to take him in, and ignore the local people.

Wang Qiuya couldn't help but didn't tell Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui, who came back later, about it, because Gongzi's confession was absolutely confidential.

Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui still saw Wang Qiuya's strange appearance, and when they saw that she had rested early, they seemed to have cried just now, and couldn't help but ask her what was wrong.

"It's okay, let's go to bed early." Wang Qiuya said.

"Say, you're not the one who can hide your words, you're just in trouble like that." Fan Xiaolin did not follow.

Wang Qiuya thought that she couldn't say anything about buying grain, but tomorrow she would gather all the villagers, and Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui would know about it, so she said that Wei Bao was going to work for more than 6,000 villagers.

Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui were taken aback, they couldn't have imagined that Wei Bao would actually make such a decision!

"Childe said it himself?" Fan Xiaolin wondered.

Wang Qiuya sighed: "I have already asked the three stunned people to go around to inform them, and tomorrow morning they will gather more than 6,000 villagers outside Jia." Tomorrow morning, Gongzi will open up wasteland, build embankments, river embankments, seawalls, build reservoirs, and build aqueducts and drainage canals. ”

"But we don't have so much food, we don't have enough to eat, these sons know." Fan Xiaolin was puzzled.

Wang Qiuya did not answer Fan Xiaolin's question, if it was said, Wei Gongzi planned to buy underworld grain from southern merchants by sea, which was to leak the secrets confessed by Gongzi.

Fan Xiaolin and Xu Rui are both very smart girls, and when they saw Wang Qiuya's expression, they knew that she probably knew what the son was going to do, but it was inconvenient to tell them.

Both of them were a little jealous, but they understood the rules of the Heaven and Earth Firm, so they didn't ask.

"Alright, alright, let's sleep. There's a lot going on tomorrow. Fan Xiaolin smiled slightly.

Wang Qiuya smiled bitterly: "I am sometimes afraid of sleeping, I want to make the days go by faster, and see how the son solves the problem." I want to make life go by more slowly, and I don't want to see my son face those problems. ”

"But the days don't change because you think about how fast or slow you live." Xu Rui smiled: "Take it easy, Childe can solve any problem." ”

Wang Qiuya glanced at Xu Rui enviously: "It's better to be Rui'er, trust your son so much, do you really not worry about your son at all?" ”

Xu Rui shook her head: "Anyway, we have to be with Gongzi for the rest of my life, no matter what happens to Gongzi, we just need to support it silently." The more we show worry, the more pressure will increase on Childe. ”

"Rui'er said it well!" Fan Xiaolin praised: "It's still Rui'er who has insight. In the end, it is still literacy, and reading more books can broaden your knowledge. ”

Xu Rui said modestly: "Sister Xiaolin has won the award, and after a while, Sister Xiaolin and Sister Qiu Ya will be able to almost recognize all the words, and you can also read more books." ”

The three girls chatted a few words, and their depressed mood was soothed, so they fell asleep.

Wei Bao didn't sleep dead in the back room, because the sound insulation of the room was good, and he tried to listen to the three girls, and it also relieved the depressed emotions.

Wei Bao secretly made up his mind that this time he would recruit more than 6,000 local villagers to his hands, so that they could eat enough and buy high-priced food once, this must be the last time he ventured into danger! In the future, try to do what you can do.

In fact, Wei Bao has always thought so, he is originally a cautious person, but it seems that life will always force people to face some things beyond their ability, and they must make many difficult decisions.

Thinking of the issue of the payment of wages to so many people, there is also the problem of the capital exchange of a bunch of enterprises within the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce.

Wei Bao suddenly realized that it was time to make his own banknotes!

Thinking of issuing a banknote that was common to the inside, Wei Bao suddenly felt extremely excited, turned over, got up from the bed, and walked to his bookcase.

On a piece of paper, two rectangles were first drawn.

He designed the front and back graphics of the banknote.

"The back should be the national emblem, right? Heaven and Earth should also have its own emblem! Although Wei Bao doesn't know if the emblem will develop into a national emblem in the future, he feels that it is time to get one!

Wei Bao began to plan how to design the emblem again, this really doesn't need to check the information, there are several templates in his memory, and the most familiar one is naturally the national emblem of Huaguo.

The national emblem is a coat of arms and coat of arms representing the country, which is one of the national symbols and a symbol of the nation.

Only specific important national documents can be stamped with the national emblem and officially enter into force.

The coat of arms usually has elements from nature, such as animals and plants, but there may also be other things that represent the country's customs, history, culture, or ideology.

The national emblems of most countries in the world belong to the coat of arms.

The national emblem of the People's Republic of China, with Tiananmen Square illuminated by five stars in the center, surrounded by ears of grain and gears.

The emblem designed by Wei Bao is modeled after the national emblem of China, with a round shape, a red band at the bottom with the words "Heaven and Earth Society" written on it, and rice ears on both sides.

The pattern in the middle, Wei Bao thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to draw Shanhaiguan! This is the best representative of the local characteristics, and his heaven and earth will originate from Shanhaiguan.

Hence the name Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan is the easternmost point of the Great Wall.

Shanhaiguan has been built since 1381 A.D., and has been an important military town in China since ancient times.

"Iron-blooded!" Wei Bao secretly praised his idea!

The city of Shanhaiguan, with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, is a small city, and the whole city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The castle is 14 meters high and 7 meters thick. There are four main gates in the whole city, and there are a variety of ancient defense buildings, it is a city pass with a relatively complete defense system, and it is called "the first pass in the world".

With the mighty and majestic "the first pass in the world" arrow tower as the main body, supplemented by Jingbian Tower, Linlu Tower, Muying Building, Weiyuan Hall, Wengcheng, Dongluo City, Great Wall Museum and other Great Wall buildings, showing the ancient city defense architectural style.

"Majestic enough!" Wei Bao was delighted and secretly praised, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he felt.

"The first pass in the world" plaque, more than 5 meters long, 1.5 meters high, for the famous calligrapher Xiao Xian of the Ming Dynasty to write, the word is regular script, the pen is vigorous and vigorous, and the style of the city tower is integrated, can be called a masterpiece of ancient and modern times.

According to legend, the last "one" was not written together, but the writer threw a pen dipped in ink into the air and dotted it.

Originally, I wanted to add some more things, but Wei Bao later dispelled these ideas, and felt that the design of the emblem was better to be concise!

After drawing the front of the gate of Shanhaiguan, Wei Bao added a radiant red five-pointed star on it.

Ears of wheat, Shanhaiguan, red five-pointed star.

Wei Bao was very satisfied with his emblem design and added it to the back of the banknote's drawing.

Wei Bao named his banknote Hua Yuan.

One dollar is equivalent to one tael of silver, and the maximum face value is 100 yuan, which is equal to 100 taels of silver.

Outside circulation is definitely not good, and the government will definitely intervene, but as a proof of the internal circulation of the Heaven and Earth firm, no one can say anything.

Wei Bao happily designed, and felt more and more that his idea was very good, meow meow.

After drawing the emblem, Wei Bao had a split of ideas for a while, and simply drew the flag!

The dart line of this era has its own flag, usually the XX dart game. The business name is the XX business name.

Wei Bao felt that it was not atmospheric enough!

Flags shouldn't have words!

What does the flag that everyone will recognize in the future and the text that it is accompanied by?

Wei Bao's flag is a black and red flag, and a big yellow five-pointed star is drawn in the middle.

The top half of the flag is black, the bottom half is red, it is very simple, you can draw it with one stroke, and you can draw a yellow five-pointed star in the middle, which can also be completed with one stroke! After the painting was finished, Wei Bao made the paint to render the effect, and he was even more satisfied!

His calligraphy has pigments, which Xu Rui sometimes paints. When Wei Bao is fine, he also likes to draw two strokes casually, Wei Bao is more interested in painting than literature, and can draw his mood and beautiful scenery very casually.

Wei Bao advocated abolishing foreign exchange controls and restrictions on the transfer of international funds by various countries, and establishing an international stability fund to issue an international currency, so that the currencies of various countries would maintain a fixed ratio with them, that is, the currencies of various countries would be easily pegged to the Chinese yuan in the future.

Although it is difficult to even save his life at present, Wei Bao's overall view has already made him think of the situation of trading with merchants from all over the world in the future, so at the beginning of the design, he thought about it quite thoughtfully.

Wei Bao wants to wait for himself to have the strength in the future to establish a world central bank to settle the claims and debts of various countries through its deposit account transfers.

This is only Wei Bao's expected goal, which must first make Tiandi a huge economy, and now it is still far from President Wei's goal.

Webbow expects banks to adopt a double standard of gold and silver. We must try our best to maintain the stability of the Chinese dollar, only stability can give people confidence, without a stable circulation of more than five years, a currency will not be easily recognized by people.

There will be no difficulty in the initial issuance and use, because it is issued in the form of wages and internal circulation, and these people are originally proletarian, and internal circulation is settled between departments, and it is not now in line with the outside, so there is no problem with issuance and circulation.

The main scene on the front of the Huayuan banknote is the portrait of Wei Bao himself, and the main color is red.

He doesn't have this painting skill, and plans to let Xu Rui add it to himself tomorrow.

The main scene pattern on the back is the scenery with the emblem, and the main color is also red. The Qinhuang Seeking Immortal Estuary, Beidaihe, Shanhaiguan, Emerald Island, Gold Coast, Ancestral Mountain, Jiaoshan and other famous local landscapes can be added to the currency of each denomination.

Huayuan is composed of, 1 Huayuan, 5 Huayuan, 10 Huayuan, 20 Huayuan, 50 Huayuan, and 100 Huayuan.

Banknotes are made from cotton fibers and hemp. Cotton fiber can make the paper not easy to break, good ink absorption, not easy to fade.

The hemp fiber is strong and tough, making the paper crisp, hair-free for a long time, and has a certain resistance to water, oil and some chemicals.

With his own paper mill, Wei Bao plans to let his subordinates solve the technical problems by themselves! But he will put forward technical requirements, and the first priority is that it is not easy to imitate! Even people of this age can't imitate it!

There is no whitening agent added to the Huayuan paper, and it is plain white. The paper is sandwiched with red and blue filaments, which are incorporated into the pulp during papermaking.

Therefore, some of the filaments are sandwiched in the paper, and some float on the surface, and the filaments can be picked out with the tip of a needle.

In the Huayuan paper (on the left side of the portrait), a safety thread made of polyester polymer called "Myra" is added, and there are symbols and denomination numbers on the safety line, which are clearly visible in the light.

The emblem is stamped underneath and numbered.

In addition to banknotes, coins were also issued at the same time as the first issue of banknotes.

There are 1 cent, 5 cents, 10 cents, and 3 denominations of Hua Yuan's circulating coins, and the head on the coin is also the head of Wei Bao himself, and the back is only the emblem.

To popularize currency, the authenticity method is particularly important.

The common methods of distinguishing the authenticity of Huayuan are mainly judged by senses and experience, and the commonly used identification methods are mainly used to identify the authenticity of Huayuan by seeing, touching, listening, and observing.

Genuine coin comparison method, that is, the suspicious coin is compared with the genuine coin, and the differences between the two coins in terms of paper, pattern, ink, watermark, security thread, etc. are carefully observed.

The pattern of the genuine coin is coordinated in color, the portrait is rich in layers, rich in three-dimensionality, the expression of the character image is expressive, the color is soft and bright, the security line is firmly bonded with the paper, and there are special anti-counterfeiting marks, the print pattern is complete and accurate, the thickness of various lines is uniform, and the straight line, oblique line, and corrugated line are clear and smooth. Genuine coins are finely printed, while counterfeit coins are bound to differ from genuine coins or be shoddy.

In the touch method, Huayuan will use gravure technology, which can rely on the feeling of repeatedly touching the banknote with fingers to distinguish the authenticity of Huayuan.

Huayuan is made of special raw materials, printed by special paper for printing banknotes, the paper is firm and tough, and the main picture of the coin surface, the national emblem, and the words "Heaven and Earth Society" need to have an obvious sense of concave and convex.

Watermark observation method, the genuine watermark is embedded in the paper in the papermaking process, the light perspective, the real watermark is rich in layers, three-dimensional, layered, grayscale is clear, and has a three-dimensional effect of relief. The watermark of counterfeit money is stamped with an impression, or made by other methods, and the watermark can be seen when the counterfeit currency is generally placed flat, and the watermark has no three-dimensional sense and the image is distorted.

Wei Bao thinks this should be the biggest problem, and I don't know if the craftsmen of this era have the ability to solve it?

Although this will greatly increase the difficulty of making paper money, it can also further prevent counterfeiting, which is still indispensable.

Wei Bao was a little sleepy, looking out the window, it was still dark, and he didn't know the time.

Wei Bao's windows have been replaced with glass! No longer use the original window paper of this era, glass and curtains, how much feeling?

The entire building built behind Wei Bao's men uses glass windows.

Wei Bao looked at the time on his mobile phone and found that it was almost four o'clock in the morning!

I didn't expect to finish this set of work, I didn't expect to spend a whole night?

However, Wei Bao still put on a relieved smile and lay down to sleep satisfied.

Four hours later, Xu Rui came to wake up his son.

"Childe, it's time to get up, all the villagers outside the armor who are waiting for Childe to summon are here." Xu Rui said softly.

Wei Bao sighed, rubbed his slightly sour eyes, and sat up with a grunt. The thought of what I had to do today made it completely hard to get up.

My heart is full of positive energy.

Before making the decision to save more than 6,000 villagers, he was very entangled, but once he made up his mind, Wei Bao felt full of power, which was a feeling that only a protector could have, and he wanted to use his strength to try his best to help more people!

The feeling of helping people is much cooler than the feeling of harming people! Wei Bao was delighted and secretly thought that after harming people, he was unhappy at the time, and he often felt uneasy afterwards, although out of self-preservation, the way to fight and kill animals was also a last resort, but that was definitely not the way Wei Bao was expecting.

Wei Bao put on his underwear and said, "Come in." ”

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya pushed the door in, and the two daughters helped their son-in-law get up, dress, and wash.

Although he didn't get enough sleep last night, Wei Bao was full of positive energy.

"Qiu Ya will wait for me for breakfast." Wei Bao walked to the edge of the desk and said to Xu Rui: "Come, fill in the portraits of these places for me, draw my head, and paint more handsome." ”

Xu Rui looked at the rectangular patterns on several pieces of paper, and said strangely: "President, what is this?" ”

"It's money!" Wei Bao happily said his idea of issuing banknotes.

When Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya heard this, they both said yes!

"It is too troublesome and easy to make mistakes in calculating wages and business dealings under the firms of each world and earth." Xu Rui said with a smile.

"Yes, if you have a voucher similar to a silver ticket, everything will be much easier." Xu Rui also answered with a smile.

In the beginning, silver tickets were freely issued by merchants. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were "silver ticket shops" in Chengdu, Sichuan, who operated cash storage business for merchants carrying huge sums of money. The depositor delivers the cash to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper temporarily fills in the amount of cash deposited by the depositor on the roll made of paper, and then returns it to the depositor, and when the depositor withdraws the cash, he pays 3% of the interest paid to the shopkeeper for every 30 yuan of interest. This kind of paper coupon that temporarily fills in the deposit amount is called a "silver ticket". At this time, the "silver ticket" is only a deposit and withdrawal certificate, not a currency.

With the development of the commodity economy, the use of "silver tickets" is becoming more and more extensive, and many merchants jointly set up silver ticket shops specializing in issuing and exchanging "Jiaozi", and set up silver ticket branches in various places.

Because the silver ticket shop abides by the credit, take it at any time, the printed "silver ticket" pattern is exquisite, hidden as a mark, black and red between the wrong, handwritten words, others are difficult to forge, so the "silver ticket" has won a high reputation.

In order to avoid the trouble of transporting coins for large transactions between merchants, there are also increasing cases of direct payment for goods with "silver tickets" that can be turned into cash at any time.

It is in the process of repeated circulation that the "silver bill" gradually acquires the character of credit money.

Later, the bank ticket shop found that only part of the deposit was used, and the credibility of the "silver ticket" would not be jeopardized.

As a result, they began to print "silver bills" with a uniform denomination and format and issued them to the market as a new means of circulation. This "silver ticket" is already a symbol of coinage, and it has truly become a silver ticket.

However, not all bank ticket shops are law-abiding and trustworthy. There are some profit-seeking and insatiable shopkeepers, maliciously defrauding, closing their doors and ceasing business after indiscriminately issuing silver bills; or misappropriation of deposits, failure to operate other transactions and bankruptcy, so that the issued "silver bills" cannot be cashed.

In this way, when depositors withdraw money but are unable to do so, it often provokes incidents and leads to lawsuits. Therefore, during the Jingde period (1004-1007), Zhang Yong, the governor of Yizhou, rectified the silver ticket shops, eliminated the lawbreakers, and operated them exclusively by 16 wealthy merchants. At this point, the issuance of "silver tickets" was recognized by the government.

In the first year of Song Renzong's Tiansheng (1023), the government set up Yizhou silver ticketing, and one or two officials from the Beijing Dynasty served as supervisors to preside over the issuance of silver tickets. This is the earliest silver ticket officially issued by the government in China - "Guanjiaozi".

It is six or seven hundred years earlier than the United States (1692), France (1716) and other Western countries issued silver tickets, and is the earliest silver ticket issued in the world.

In the early days of the issuance of the "official bank bill", its form was modeled after the private "private relations", stamped with the state seal of the state, but the amount of money temporarily filled in was different, generally consistent to ten times, and the scope of circulation was stipulated.

During the reign of Song Renzong, it was changed to five and ten runs. By the time of Song Shenzong, it was changed to two kinds: consistent and five hundred wen. There is also a limit on the amount of issuance, which stipulates that the issuance shall be divided into three years (two years) for each sector, and the old will be replaced with the new.

The first silver bill issuance was 1256340, with a reserve capital of 360,000 yuan (with Sichuan's iron money as the banknote), and the reserve was equivalent to 28% of the issuance. The circulation scope of "silver tickets" was basically limited to Sichuan, and although it became popular in Shaanxi and Hedong, it was abolished soon after.

In the first year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (1107), the government of the Song Dynasty changed the "silver ticket" to "money citation", and changed the "silver ticket" to "money citation". Except for Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places still use "silver tickets", other roads have changed to "money citation".

Later, Sichuan also changed the silver ticket to the money quotation in the third year of Daguan (1109). The biggest difference between "money citation" and "silver ticket" is that it is in the unit of "缗". The paper, printing, drawings and seals of the "Qian Yin" are very good. However, the "money citation" does not place banknotes, does not allow exchange, and is issued at will, so the value of paper coupons plummets, and in the Jiading period of the Southern Song Dynasty, each note is only worth 100 yuan in cash.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the silver ticket system was further improved. After the Italian traveler Marco Polo came to China, he discovered the silver stamps used in the Yuan Dynasty, and wrote the "Marco Polo Chronicles" in 1298, which detailed the printing process and circulation of Chinese silver stamps.

From then on, Europeans learned about the silver ticket. The American scholar Robert Temple said: "The first European silver stamps were issued by Sweden in 1661 under the influence of China. ”

The advent of silver stamps was a great step forward in the history of money.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the "silver ticket" in Chengdu, Sichuan Province was the beginning of the real silver ticket.

It is not accidental that the silver ticket appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is an inevitable product of socio-political and economic development. The development of the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was relatively fast, and more currency was needed in the circulation of goods, and there was a shortage of copper coins at that time, which could not meet the demand in circulation. At that time, iron money was common in Sichuan, and the value of iron money was low and heavy, and it was extremely inconvenient to use. At that time, a copper coin was worth ten iron coins, and the weight of each thousand iron coins was 25 catties for large coins and 13 catties for medium coins. It costs 20,000 yuan to buy a piece of cloth, weighs about 500 catties, and you need to use a car.

Therefore, there is an objective need for a light currency, which is the main reason why silver bills first appeared in Sichuan.

Moreover, although the Northern Song Dynasty was a highly centralized feudal autocracy, the national currency was not uniform, and there were several currency areas, each of which did not use each other. At that time, there were 13 roads (administrative units of the Song Dynasty) special copper coins, 4 roads special iron coins, and Shaanxi and Hedong used both copper and iron coins.

The outflow of currency is also strictly prohibited in various currency areas, and the use of silver tickets can prevent the outflow of copper and iron coins.

In addition, the Song government was often attacked by the Liao, Xia, and Jin, and spent a lot on military and indemnities, and also needed to issue silver bills to cover the fiscal deficit. Various reasons contributed to the creation of "silver tickets".

The emergence of "silver bills" has facilitated business transactions and made up for the lack of cash, which is a major achievement in the history of currency.

Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya both understood the huge role of 'banknotes' at once, so they were both happy for Wei Bao.

"It's not just internal, but in the future, when our business grows, it can also be used with external business names!" Wei Bao said: "Our silver ticket, in our ticket number, can be withdrawn at any time, which will be more convenient than the ticket number of Jin Shang and the big ticket number of the south of the Ming Dynasty." Wei Bao said.

"It's just that if you want to use it externally, you need the support of the government!" Xu Rui reminded.

"I understand! For the time being, it is only used internally. Wei Bao said: "You paint here, I have clearly written out the requirements for making banknotes, you will draw it in a while, go to me, and then gather craftsmen to discuss the production!" ”

"Okay." Xu Rui immediately agreed: "I must draw my son very handsome." ”

After Xu Rui finished speaking, she smiled, in fact, the son is already very handsome, and he can paint it as it is.

"Childe is originally a beautiful man, don't make Childe ugly." Wang Qiuya added.

"Yes." Xu Rui nodded.

Wei Bao loves to listen to people's praise, and he is extremely satisfied with the appearance of this life, touching his face and smiling.

After a simple breakfast, Wei Bao took Wang Qiuya to Jiawai to meet more than 6,000 villagers.

Although Wei Bao's A has a large square, it can't accommodate too many people, more than 3,000 people are already the limit, and most of them can only stand, more than 6,000 people definitely can't do it, if this is put in modern times, it is already the level of a large and medium-sized concert.

Wei Bao has a feeling of holding a large-scale concert at the moment, and he looks like a star.

More than 6,000 local villagers are starving all day long, although all the arrears in the hands of Jiachang, Li Zheng and the rich families have been transferred to Wei Gongzi, but these few days have passed, they are still not assigned to work, and they endure the hardships of poverty, sickness and hunger all day long, and the panic in their hearts can be imagined.

More than 6,000 villagers stood together and made a lot of noise, although no one spoke too loudly, but the villagers generally spoke loudly, and they couldn't control much if they wanted to.

"Wei Gongzi came to us, what the hell is going on?" A villager asked.

The villagers around shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Everyone was in a state of uneasiness, and Luo San was stunned and asked everyone to be notified to gather outside the armor, but he didn't tell them anything, because Luo San was stunned and didn't know about it.

Moreover, Childe didn't let him say anything, and no one dared to ask nonsense.

"Wei Gongzi has arrived!" A loud trumpet was heard.

The more than 6,000 villagers present unanimously knelt down and kowtowed, chanting in unison: "Meet Wei Gongzi!" ”
