Chapter 254: Temptation (continued)
The negotiable coupons, printed with colorful patterns, are written "one hundred horses", which is the face value of this negotiable coupon, and the total number of negotiable coupons is ten, with a total face value of 1,000 horses, which means that these negotiable coupons can be exchanged for 1,000 horses of Huangzhou cloth.
If calculated according to 500 yuan per piece of cloth, this negotiable coupon is equivalent to 500 copper coins, and the weight of 500 yuan is at least 1,000 catties, but now it is just a light and fluttering piece of paper.
This kind of paper is very common in Xiyang City, large and small merchants do business, using paper called "negotiable coupons", negotiable coupons have obviously replaced copper coins, and have become the currency in Xiyang City.
As a shepherd, you dare to issue currency privately, Yu Wenwen, are you going to rebel!
Yu Wenhua thought so, he was holding ten beautifully printed circulation coupons in his hand, and it seemed that he was holding important ironclad evidence of Xiyang Wang's rebellion, but this was also just thinking about it, because circulation coupons were not currency.
In order to facilitate the transaction of bulk goods in Xiyang City, under the premise of the joint cooperation of the major cloth mills, the "circulation coupon" of credit vouchers was printed to replace money and grain and cloth, and the trading procedures were simplified.
Just imagine, if the buyer and the seller deliver copper coins, then they have to use many carriages to pull it, even if it is exchanged for cloth, they have to use horse-drawn carts, and if they are traded with gold and silver, the same weight is not light.
10,000 copper coins is equivalent to about 10,000 taels of silver or 1,000 taels of gold, even if there is so much gold and silver, who is willing to use it?
And in Xiyang, Huangzhou, the delivery of this transaction was completed with a piece of paper, Yu Wenhua felt that if he was a businessman, he was afraid that he would be excited about such convenience, but this thing was actually made by Yu Wenwen, so...
So don't be in vain! Since your house slave Yuwen Fifteen gave me ten circulation coupons, then I will use a fine light!
I took the benefits, should I turn my face, or I still have to turn my face, if you kill my brother, you will have to pay for your life!
Yu Wenhua and evil thought fiercely, he has always been obsessed with avenging his dead brother Yu Wenzhihe, and the culprit who killed Yu Wenzhi was Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen.
So since he came to Yuwenwen's territory, he had to take a good turn to see if he could find any clues.
In the past few days, the Son of Heaven has been lightly dressed and Jane has been studying in the state to listen to lectures, and the guards have been idle, and the left and right Xiaogong Boyu Culture and Liu Jushi have taken turns on duty, and they will go around Xiyang City when they rest, and the first place Yu Wenhua went to was the stargazing platform.
The stargazing platform is a place to observe celestial phenomena, generally speaking, only the capital can have a stargazing platform, if you want to build it elsewhere, you must get the permission of the imperial court, because unauthorized snooping on the heavenly opportunities is one of the precursors of the traitorous minister's rebellion.
There is a stargazing platform in Huangzhou, does it mean that the governor of Huangzhou and Wang Yuwenwen of Xiyang have the intention of rebellion?
No, because the Huangzhou Observatory is "made", that is, the emperor ordered to allow it to be built, so on the bright side, the Huangzhou Observatory was built by Zhengda Guangming, and there is a sharp weapon for observing celestial phenomena "astronomical mirror", which scholars can use to observe the starry sky.
Yu Wenhua went to the stargazing platform to "find faults", under the pretext of visiting the "astronomical mirror", in fact, he wanted to find out the clues of Yuwenwen's rebellion in the subtleties of the stargazing platform, and he really found it.
Many observations from the Huangzhou Observatory show that scholars actually have signs of compiling a calendar, which is a rebellion!!
When Yu Wenhua first discovered this "ironclad evidence", it was called an ecstatic, but then he found out that this matter was allowed by the Yecheng court from the beginning, and even the Son of Heaven who was still in Yecheng at that time knew about it.
The calendar of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the "Tianhe Calendar" in the Tianhe year at first, and then the "Elephant Calendar" in the Elephant Year, and the elephant calendar has been used to this day, and the imperial court felt that it was a little inappropriate and wanted to replace it with a new calendar.
Liu Zhuo, the former assistant teacher of Taixue and one of the two Lius, is quite accomplished in the calendar, and now lives in Xiyang, while teaching in the state school, he has always wanted to do his best for the imperial court to revise the new calendar.
Therefore, the governor of Huangzhou and Wang Yuwen of Xiyang specially played the game to obtain permission to observe celestial phenomena and compile a new calendar at the Huangzhou Observatory.
Everything, Yuwen Wen did a good job, which was beyond reproach, Yu Wenhua could only leave the stargazing platform disappointed, and wanted to squander the circulation coupon sent by Yuwen Fifteen.
The negotiable coupons are only circulated in Xiyang City, and if they are brought to Chang'an, it is a piece of waste paper, and Yu Wenhua decided to spend it before leaving Xiyang, in order to comfort his wounded heart.
Concealing his identity as an official, he traveled in casual clothes, took two guards as his entourage, and was secretly introduced by the post house officials, found a few helpers as guides, and took him to Xiyang City to eat, drink and have fun.
At this moment, Yu Wenhua and under the strong introduction of the helper, he came to a wine shop called "Huixian Yaxu", which is said to be one of the first-class wine shops in Xiyang City, and there are any scenes.
Yu Wenhua grew up in Chang'an since he was a child, he has never seen any scenes, he heard the helper say this, he sneered in his heart, but his face was silent, just follow in, at this moment, his identity is a Guanzhong merchant who has just arrived in Xiyang, and he lacks nothing is not short of money.
Seeing such a bold young man, he became more and more attentive, and asked for a private room familiarly, and then started the first link: ordering.
Yu Wenhua and as the prince of the county, he usually goes to the music shop and the wine shop to have fun, this kind of thing is not his turn to worry about at all, but now his identity is a young businessman, debauchery, so he has to have the style of a businessman.
He took the recipe and looked at it, and found that the recipe was very beautifully made, with many dishes on it and a brief introduction, which seemed to be delicious, but compared to the wine shops in Chang'an, it was not a big deal.
Yu Wenhua thought so, but saw the wine maid pushing into the carts, which was a little strange, but saw that there were delicacies on it.
No, even the prepared dishes are put on the table, and there is not a trace of heat, could it be an overnight dish? That's how you greet guests? Still a big scene?
He was slandering, but when he saw the gang coming up, he whispered: "So that Lang Jun knows that these delicacies look exquisite, but they are all models and fake." ”
"Fake?"
"Exactly, it's always inconvenient to just look at the recipe and order, so the store specially made a model, that is, a fake dish, so that customers can watch the dishes and order."
"It doesn't always look good, but it turns out unrecognizable, right?"
"Lang Jun rest assured, although it can't be exactly the same, it won't be too different."
Yu Wenhua was a little surprised, he really had never seen such a scene, he got up and looked at these cars of "fake dishes" for a long time, only to feel that these "models" were really fake, and the two guards who pretended to be entourage were also amazed.
Surprised to be surprised, Yu Wenhua was born in a powerful family, and he would not be frightened by the small scene, so he quickly ordered food and wine, and there were spirits in Huixian Yaxu's wine list, he didn't believe it, so he ordered the most expensive and strong wine.
Next is singing and dancing, since it is a pleasure to have fun, drinking a little wine and watching singing and dancing by the way is a common drinking banquet scene, but it is also a pleasant thing, Yu Wenhua and proficient in this, is planning to order the most expensive song and dance, but after listening to the introduction of the helper, he was stunned.
The most expensive song and dance of Huixian Yaxu, called "Heavenly Demon Dance", this name is very tempting, the scene is extremely exciting, it is said that this kind of song and dance is not available in Chang'an, Luoyang, Jinyang, and Yecheng now.
No? Let's talk nonsense! In a shabby place like your Xiyang, what exciting singing and dancing can there be that most metropolises don't have?
You can't just let Maihime wriggle naked in front of guests, right? If that's the case, it's just immoral, and I'll sue in front of the Son of Heaven when I go back!
Yu Wenhua thought so, and immediately made up his mind, he wanted to take a good look at this Heavenly Demon Dance and study it carefully!
