Xin'an County Mansion, Qinxin Small Courtyard.

Quan Ce returned to the mansion and had no intention of handling official business, so he asked Wang Zhiben to leave duty early.

Hearing the crisp sound of women frolicking from the back garden, he walked away.

"Sister Cui, around the Spring Festival, in a month's time, Feng Qiwu got 600,000 yuan on his account, and the biggest merchant was the officials and nobles of the foreign vassal mission, buying in batches and batches, in this way, is it considered a copper coin import? Will it be detrimental to people's livelihood? ”

"Yes, Sister Cui, those foreign envoys have come to visit my mother and eldest brother and sent a lot of gold and silver, is this considered gold and silver import?"

……

The crisp little voice is the two of Quan Luo and Xue Yan, pestering Cui Ying, who is a guest, but the topic of the question is not the needle and thread brain of the boudoir daughter, it is a serious plan for the people's livelihood.

Quan Luo and Xue Yan are both wearing pink skirts and combing double buns, delicate and cute, Cui Ying is wearing a goose yellow, graceful figure, and the charm is beginning to form.

There are three pairs of calculations in front of the three of them, Cui Ying is ivory in front of her, white and clean, Quan Ying is jade in front of her, warm and clear, and Xue Yan in front of her is sandalwood, fragrant.

Cui Ying was invited by Yunxi today to teach the two sisters-in-law how to use the calculation, after all, they are running a big business, and it is not possible to have a black eye.

Seeing that the two of them had studied for a while, they chattered about the financial affairs of Qianzhuang, Cui Ying put away the calculations, thought for a moment, and said slowly, "The two little ladies know that it is a great thing to care about the people, and Ying'er has only met with that group of Sogdians two or three times, and she doesn't know much."

"As Ying'er can see, the Celestial Empire's commerce and trade are strong, and the overall pattern is that gold, silver and copper coins are more imported and less output, but not all are imported in, which is good, money, gold and silver, after all, are dead things, the imperial court is to operate in it, take out a part of the participation in commerce, and the merchants are unwilling to buy, but the people need to bring in materials to benefit the people, and take out a part of the reserves for urgent needs, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that a certain scale is circulated in the market to stabilize the price."

"Since it is determined by price comparison and in the hands of the Celestial Empire, it should allow the people of the Celestial Empire to benefit, and invisibly suppress the foreign domain, and over time, it will become a great weapon to restrain the foreign domain."

Quan Luo and Xue Yan stared at the black eyes, listened very seriously, and heard her praise Quan Ce and Wu Chongxing, and looked at each other tacitly, smiling like a flower.

"Sister-in-law, it's still Sister Cui who said it clearly, and she understands a little bit after listening to it, Brother Chongxing said it unclearly, and he lost his temper and died" Xue Yan ran to Yun Xi and complained in a rambling manner.

Yun Xi was looking at the accounts of the Chenguang caravan, a string of numbers, she was dizzy, and when she saw Xue Yan coming to her, she put the account book aside, pinched her Qiong's nose, and quipped, "You're going to sue, you have to find a better reason, sister-in-law can support you, you said that Chongxing lost her temper at you, sister-in-law just wanted to believe it, but she couldn't believe it."

"Sister-in-law......" Xue Yan's cheeks flushed, twisted her waist, buried her head in her arms, and was coquettish.

"Giggles" Yun Xi couldn't help laughing.

"Ahem" Quan Ce coughed lightly twice, stepped into the door, and looked at the delicate flowers and beautiful jade in the room, and his mood was wide open.

After everyone finished saluting, Quan Ce sat next to Yun Xi and said funny, "Late, long, I just heard that you have a lot of money, eldest brother, you are short of money during this time, can you help one or two?" ”

"Giggles" Quan Luo smiled like a fox who had stolen a chicken cub, crossed his waist, raised his little face, and said proudly, "Big brother, it's okay to help, but you want to draw some new dolls for our Feng Qiwu, five, no, ten"

"Yes, yes, yes" Xue Yan didn't dare to make too much trouble in front of Quan Ce, but she just made an echo worm, and her head kept nodding.

"Hehe, okay, those two shopkeepers, quote a price first, ten new dolls, what is the price?" Quan Ce smiled and looked at the two little sisters with interest.

"Huh?" Quan Luo is a little stuck, although there is Fengqi Wuri in the name of the gold, and let the brothers in the family bring it, quite concerned about the people's suffering, know the price of corn, but for Quan Ce's sketch works, the market says that it is hard to find, let Quan Ce use sketches to design their dolls, think that the value should be greater, confused that she should not be able to pay, simply played a small temperament, pretending to be sophisticated and authentic, "Big brother, ten dolls, well, a hundred dollars, no counteroffer"

Xue Yan also stretched out a green jade finger and strongly agreed.

Cui Ying smiled when she covered her lips.

Quan Ce smiled dumbly, trying to justify his status in the literary world, thinking about increasing his value, but Yun Xi beside him couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped him lightly, telling him to hurry up and paint.

"That's it, that's it, I'll go" Quan Ce gave up struggling, he didn't have to go far, Yun Xi arranged a maid, and on the table near the left, he laid out a hard pen and drawing paper.

He thought for a while, waved his brush, and drew a cute and cute doll, Quan Luo and Xue Yan were lying on him, admiring from time to time, and they couldn't put it down.

Single-minded, he asked Cui Ying, "Cui Niangzi, how is the progress of Qingyaoshan Academy now?" ”

"At present, the progress of the construction site is quite rapid, and a batch of books have been transferred, and the people in the clan are willing to come to Shendu to fill the teaching chair, and the number is quite large, and they can probably cope with the first batch of students to study, but Ying'er is interested in introducing some masters and opening the examination of the discipline of engineering and physics, and the resistance is great......" Cui Ying looked a little depressed, and since she dug out the stone paint with her own hands, she never forgot it, and had the right to draw the line, she also went to Songshan a few times, and listened to some of the teachings of Wang Wu Youxu of Anping, and paid more and more attention to the matter of testing the work and things.

"Is there a way to deal with it?"

"Right Minister, Ying'er thought, contact the officials who will be the military weapons supervisor and the winter official yamen, if you get the support of the imperial court, and then appropriately reduce the scale, and separate the examination Gewuyuan from the academy, Ying'er is sure to make this matter happen" Cui Ying swore a promise.

Quan Ce was slightly surprised, he thought that Cui Ying would take a step back for the time being, and wait until the attention was not high, and then slowly figure it out, but he didn't expect this little lady to have such a hard mind, and the strategy was feasible.

"It's okay, if you need help, you can ask Erlang to find Wang Zhiben to talk."

"Thank you to the right minister" Cui Ying bowed her knees and thanked her, and she was even more ambitious.

As he spoke, the painting at hand was also completed, and Quan Luo and Xue Yan cheered and wanted to pounce on them to get it.

Quan Ce was shocked, hurriedly raised it high, and said urgently, "Slow down, slow down, pay the money with one hand, and deliver with the other"

"Giggles" At this time, not only Yun Xi, but even Cui Ying couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

After a lively time, Quan Luo and Xue Yan, who paid a huge amount of money and got ten paintings, were satisfied, jumped out, and Cui Ying also went home.

Only Quan Ce and Yun Xi are left.

Yun Xi's face was not good, as if there was something unspeakable, and under Quan Ce's questioning, she spoke, "Husband, the concubine is the eldest sister-in-law, Cui Niangzi is so capable, she is very financial, and the academy, the concubine is not clear, even if she checks the accounts, she feels quite difficult......"

Quan Ce suddenly hugged her tightly, "Don't be worried, the superior is tired, you don't have to know everything, I will arrange Chongxing tomorrow, pick a few Sogdians, and call you"

"No, husband, outsiders can't trust concubines," Yun Xi refused, and said tentatively, "Yao Tong Niang in the study, look smart and clever, if she is not busy with errands, let her help the concubine, can you?" ”

Quan Ce looked at Yun Xi deeply and hugged her, "You are the housewife of the family, she should be happy to use her for something."

Yun Xi closed her eyes, and a little pride bloomed on her cheeks.
