A few days later.

Yecheng.

Assassin's House.

Zhen Yan came running in the dust, found Fu Zhi, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Fu, when will the paper mill and distillery in Yecheng be opened?" Our store is in short supply and out of stock. ”

"Master Zhen, you have made enough money, do you still want to make it?" He put aside the processed documents.

"Uh..."

Zhen Yan looked slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I am also doing things for the lord, and I dare not slack off." ”

Frustrated: "Your Zhen family's business is getting better and bigger. The four restaurants and 10 shops that have recently opened are all selling well. There is an endless stream of patronizing customers, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of money are received every day. It's not that I'm red, it's that other families are red. The people who come to me every day to complain are lined up. They all say that you are not authentic, eat alone, and let the family live? ”

"Master Zhen, you can take out half of the next batch of Xi paper and Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor, and wholesale it to those families, so as to block their mouths. I'm happy to be quiet, too. ”

"Okay, just according to the will of Lord Fusty..."

Zhen Yan readily agreed, and then wondered: "However, why the next batch?" Won't the next batch? ”

"No..." Fu Zhi picked up a list from the table, handed it to Zhen Yan, and said, "Look at this." ”

"It's ..... The livestock, rice grain, tempeh, cloth, etc., purchased by various families, Lord Fu, what are you doing to show me this? Our Zhen family contributes more livestock and rice than other families, and we don't charge a penny. You're not too little, are you? ”

"You're mistaken, that's not what I meant." He hesitated for a moment, then got up and said, "I'll tell you the truth." The government wants you to buy livestock, cloth, cloth, etc., in order to open a market. The market has been built and will open tomorrow. Therefore, the next batch of Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor and Xi Paper will all rush into the market. ”

"Master Zhen, I only told you about this matter, don't spread it out."

"Yes, yes..."

Zhen Yan was a little puzzled.

If the government wants to open a market, it should be publicized a month in advance, so why should it be hidden and not allowed to spread it? Are you afraid that people will come to buy things? Afraid of making too much?

How can there be such a business in the world?

Whew...

There was a sound of a dragon roaring outside the house.

Frustrated and walked to the door, glanced at it and said, "Maybe the lord is back." Master Zhen, remember what I just said, the matter of the government opening a market must not be spread to the outside world. ”

"Yes."

Zhen Yan went out of the house with Frustration to greet Yuan Xi.

"Greetings to my lord..." Seeing Yuan Xi walk into the courtyard, the two saluted.

"You know I'm coming back?" Yuan Xi was a little surprised.

Fu Zhu smiled and said: "The four disagreements of the lord have spread thousands of miles and deterred the Quartet. When the minister heard the dragon roar just now, he knew that the lord had arrived, how dare he not greet him? ”

"Mr. Fu is getting better at talking." Yuan Xi smiled casually.

"Where.... It's all the truth. ”

"Come in with me, I have something important to discuss with you." Yuan Xi nodded and strode into the mansion.

"Yes..."

The two followed.

When he arrived in the living room, Yuan Xi put down his sword, took another sip of tea, and said, "I can't stay too long when I go back to Yecheng this time." Because the battle of Yuyang is about to begin, I will return to the front line to command. In these days, the implementation of the new currency must see real results. ”

"Mr. Fu."

"Yes."

Yuan Xi asked, "How are you preparing for the implementation of the new currency?" ”

"Minister's preparation..." Frustrated just about to speak, he casually glanced at Zhen Yan.

Yuan Xi said: "It's all my own people, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." Fu Zhi replied: "After the independent public left, the ministers, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu first built a money village, a market, and hoarded goods. A temporary mint was also set up, and according to the orders of the lord, 500 million banknotes were printed. The capital was placed in the Qianzhuang and guarded by the guards of General Wenchou. Now that everything is ready, the minister is ready to open the market and the money house in Yecheng at the same time early tomorrow morning, and post a notice to inform the people in the city. Commenced implementation of the plan to introduce the new currency. ”

"Okay."

Yuan Xi was very satisfied and said: "Mr. Fu, the implementation of the new currency is related to the economy and future of Hebei, and it must not be careless. The people of the major families and counties all stared wide-eyed. If something goes wrong and we lose credibility, the consequences are irreparable. In view of this, the money bank and the market should ensure that there is sufficient Singapore currency and goods. It must stand the test of all the people and the families. Do you know what I mean? ”

"I understand."

Frustrated, he answered.

After listening to the words of Fu Zhu and Yuan Xi, Zhen Yan opened his mouth wide in shock.

He realized the seriousness of the problem and realized that Hebei's economy and future would undergo earth-shaking changes. Yuan Xi wanted to buy five baht coins and implement the new currency. If it succeeds, the money in the hands of the family and the people will be made by the government in the future. Every word and action of Yuan Xi may affect the credibility and future of the new coin. It will also affect the future of the Maison. If it doesn't work, then all the previous investment will be in vain. The government, the family, and the people will all suffer huge losses. And it can't be remedied.

Zhen Yan was thinking about Yuan Xi's intention to leave him behind....

Yuan Xi looked at him suddenly and said, "The second brother is my own person, so I won't hide it." It is indeed difficult and risky for the government to implement the new currency. Originally, I wanted to convene all the families in Hebei to discuss countermeasures, but I was afraid that the families would pursue profits and take the opportunity to make a windfall. I think about it, and only the Zhen family is worthy of my trust. Are you willing to share the risk with me and support the government's implementation of the new currency? ”

"This..."

Zhen Yan still hesitated for a few breaths, and then patted his chest and said, "Everything in the Zhen family is given by the lord. How much does the lord want, just ask, my Zhen family will do their best to help. ”

"Okay, it's worthy of the family I value." Yuan Xi nodded and said, "In order to ensure that the five baht money of the Qian Zhuang and the goods in the market are sufficient, I want you to prepare all the money of the Zhen family in case the Qian Zhuang is in urgent use." And during the opening period of the market, it is not allowed to purchase goods from the market. Can you do it? ”

"Yes!"

Zhen Yan replied with certainty.

He has no other choice now, he can only tie himself firmly to Yuan Xi's warship, Yuan Xi is good, the Zhen family is good, Yuan Xi is not good, and the Zhen family cannot be left alone.

Fu Zhu smiled: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, the money in our treasury is enough to cope with the current situation..." ”

"Be prepared."

Yuan Xi seemed to think of something again, and said, "There is another important matter that you need to do immediately." Ordered the governments of all counties and counties in Jizhou to send county soldiers to block the official roads. All caravans and families passing by must be investigated. The forces of the two states and the Central Plains are not allowed to bring a large amount of copper coins into Jizhou.... ”

"Why is that?" Fu Zhu didn't understand, and asked: "Is the lord afraid that Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao will buy the market in Yecheng?" ”
