Chapter 697: The World Is Bustling (24)
Princess Taiping's Mansion, atrium.
The two generations of the Li Wu royal family gathered a lot here, and it was very lively.
Dingwang Wuyou and Xinyang Wang Wu Chongmin, Jiyang County Gongwu Chongxing father and son, Taiping Princess Wei Guo Xue Chongyin, Yingguo Gong Xue Chongjian Wan and the county lord Xue Yan mother and son mother and daughter four, Xin'an County Public Authority Policy Luling County Public Quan Zhu Tianshui Princess Quan Luo and Qinghe Cui's eldest granddaughter Cui Ying, plus a single daughter of the daughter.
A group of people, who were either noble or powerful, were scattered around the courtyard at this time, looking at the pool in the courtyard made of stones, which was filled with clear water.
Cui Ying waved his hand, and the two elite men were bare-chested, carrying a small box to the edge of the pool, the box was gray and white, and the material could not be seen, the muscles on the two of them swelled up, and the sweat flowed one after another on the dark backs.
"Big brother, why are they so slow?" Quan Luo frowned and pulled the corner of Quan Ce's clothes, very puzzled.
Quan Ce smiled and put his hand on Quan Luo's shoulder, "The box is hollowed out of stone, the stone paint is flammable, and it is transported back to Beijing from Dingyang, the road is far away, in order to avoid accidents, I used a whole stone, carved into a box, and transferred it back."
"Oh" Quan Luo seemed to understand, nodded, blinked his deer-like eyes, and became more curious about the stone paint in the stone.
The "bubbling" stone box opened, and a pungent black water flowed out and poured into the pool, and the stone was pitch black, floating on the water, and soon the entire pool was dyed black.
"Hmm, this oil stinks" Xue Yan pinched Qiong's nose, hugged Princess Taiping's thigh, and hid behind her.
Cui Ying took a fire fold, lit the fire, padd her feet, and threw the fire fold in the air.
"......Boom" orange-red flames rose into the sky and spread rapidly, and the square pool was full of blazing flames.
"Ahem, cough, cough" Princess Qianjin accidentally stood downwind, the black smoke from the flame burning was pungent and pungent, and the stench was unpleasant, she covered her mouth and nose with a brocade pa, and ran quickly to Quan Ce's side, coughing lightly.
"Hehe" Quan Ce chuckled, and wiped a piece of black ash off her face with his fingers, the stone paint in its original state was heavy to use, black smoke and black ash, and too polluting.
The fire was fierce and lasted for half an hour before it died out, leaving no flame behind, and when I looked again, not only were the pools burned black, but even the greenery and fence on the left were stained with a lot of slimy stains.
Princess Taiping immediately sent Xue Chongyin to summon the servants to sprinkle and sweep, and then took everyone to the warm pavilion on the other side of the water pavilion, changed clothes and bathed, and then got together to drink and chat.
"There is water in the stone, there is fire on the water, such a miracle, the sages are honest and do not deceive me, this thing may be of great use, Dalang, you don't need to worry about the matter of gathering, give it to me, how to use it, do you have ideas?" Wu You slipped a sip, took a sip of wine, and swallowed two chopsticks and vegetables, suppressing the shock in his heart, Quan Ce had come to him to mention the stone paint, but he didn't believe it, but now he has seen and heard it, and what Quan Ce said, but he is still conservative.
"I have two ideas, Uncle Shi collects stone paint in a caravan and sends it to two places, one is the King of Anping in Songshan, and the other is the Qingyaoshan Academy built by Cui Niangzi, two in parallel, try to purify and condense the stone paint, and also explore some usable places" Quan Ce has already had a belly case, "There are results, it can be used to help the people, then Lai Shishu will promote the world"
"Hahaha" Wu Youji laughed and arched his hand, "Very good, thanks to Da Lang, in the future, I can't say, this stone paint is popular in the world, I can get rich in the world with this"
He said it jokingly, obviously not taking it seriously, but Quan Ce was serious, raising a glass to congratulate, "Congratulations for Uncle Shi"
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Ding" Princess Qianjin took everyone from the younger generation to come forward to have fun.
Wu Youji drank a lot of wine, and he didn't refuse to come, even Xue Chongjian, who was only ten years old, raised a toast to him in a similar way, and he happily responded to it.
"Da Lang, this thing is dirty and filthy, even if it is useful, it is not pleasant" Princess Taiping rolled her eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with the stone paint that stained her courtyard, "You invited Sister Qianjin, but there are still plans?" ”
"Hehe, if there is nothing to do, how dare you work on the jade toes of the two princesses?" Quan Ce accompanied a smiling face, and turned his head to look at Wu Chongxing, "Chongxing, you have been in charge of this matter for a long time, so it is up to you to make it clear."
"Yes, eldest brother" Wu Chongxing's expression was a little excited, he studied with the Sogdians for several months, and finally figured out some eyebrows, "The eldest brother has the intention, after the huge amount of copper coins brought back by Du Shangshu enters the market, the comparison between gold and silver and money and silk will be relatively stable."
"On this basis, the establishment of the money bank, the effect of undertaking three, one is the money and silk gold and silver deposit and exchange, the passage in different places, with the combination of seal and certificate of the three, exempt the merchant from the risk of carrying a huge amount of money, the money bank charges a transfer fee, the second is to regulate the price of gold and silver and money and silk, regular announcements, to avoid the small people due to the news blockage and damage, this matter can be used with the local officials and yamen to join forces, the third is to lend, to use the property as collateral, to lend money, depending on the amount of loans, in months or years to calculate interest"
The words made everyone ignorant, and they fell into thought.
"Da Lang, this matter is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it should be dominated by the imperial court, so it seems that it can't be taught and controlled privately?" Wu Youji frowned deeply.
"That's true, this matter is not urgent, Chongxing is just preparing in advance, after His Majesty lifts the seal, I am afraid that after the first month, there will be a proper opportunity to propose" Quan Ce nodded, and shook his head again, "However, how this matter works, it is not necessarily, either the local official yamen is the mainstay, the young government supervisor is supplemented, and the private shares are supplemented by one or two, or the local official yamen supervises, and the money village is mainly the young government supervisor, supplemented by private shares."
"Uncle Shi, what do you think Your Majesty will choose?"
Wu Youji was silent, and when it came to insight into the mind of Empress Wu, ten of him were not the opponents of Quan Ce.
"Hehehe, no matter what, anyway, what kind of money village is, there is a place for private shares, sister Qianjin, but you have to prepare earlier, when the time comes, our sisters, take out the family background, and scare Da Lang" Princess Taiping changed the topic.
Princess Qianjin smiled and pursed her lips, "It's all his, but I don't believe it can scare him."
And after another feast, they dispersed.
Princess Taiping found a reason and left Quan Ce.
"Tomorrow is the time to break things, the two Zhang brothers and Wu Sansi are very anxious, can you be sure of the adjustment?" Princess Taiping led Quan Ce to a room, all in bright red tones, and very happy.
Quan Ce didn't care, he just thought it was Princess Taiping's mood, "Just act impartially, if there is evidence, you will deal with it, they fight, it's a good thing, not a bad thing"
"It's good if you're sure," Princess Taiping picked up the teacup and fed him a drink.
In front of Quan Ce's eyes, pink and sweet, as if there was a witch's beautiful voice lingering, the thoughts were overflowing, and the mind was involuntarily, and a tiger pounced to suppress Princess Taiping.
"Come in, come in" Princess Taiping panted, so as to maintain Qingming, clapped her palms.
