After speaking, he reached into his arms and took out the exchange documents of Hongyun Qian Zhuang and handed them over to Yang Congyi.

"There are a lot of copper coins that are very heavy, and a large box full of copper coins is only forty or fifty yuan, and we can't move them all in a few months, so I took it upon myself to replace them with silver and gold ingots. If you really use the copper coins, it should not be difficult to exchange the silver with them when you return to Yiwu to find some big businessmen. Qingchen explained with some confidence, and didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at his husband's eyes.

Yang Congyi carefully read the exchange slip given by Qian Zhuang, and then said with a smile: "You did the right thing, I owe it to me." There is really no need to exchange them for copper coins, whether there are so many copper coins in the money village for the time being, but we can really get it, we really can't move back, and it is the wisest choice to exchange it for gold and silver. Looks like I'm going to be able to arrange some errands for you alone. ”

Qingchen looked up at this time, and when he saw his husband with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but blush, and said shyly: "My lord said that I was laughing, what errand can I do." ”

Yang Congyi patted the cash box and said with a smile: "Don't be presumptuous, you can do this errand very well." How about a suitable errand in the future, and you also come into contact? ”

Qingchen thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "Look at it." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "As long as you don't work too hard." ”

"Open it and take a look, I don't know if there's a problem, it's the key." Qingchen took out the key and handed it over.

"Well, take a look." Yang Congyi did not hesitate, took the key and opened the small box.

Five large gold ingots were lying in the box, Yang Congyi reached out and took out one, it was very heavy, it was undoubtedly gold on the surface, but it was not pure gold, and he couldn't tell it, so he put it back in the box.

"The shopkeeper of the money village said that if there is a problem with the gold and silver ingots, as long as they are not broken or melted, they can be taken back to them." Qingchen looked at the look on her husband's face, for fear that there was something wrong with the gold, so she hurriedly conveyed the shopkeeper's words.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Hongyun Qianzhuang will not disregard its reputation for this little money. ”

After saying that, he locked the small box and put it again, opened the big box again, took out a silver ingot, checked the weight, and looked at the color, naturally there was no problem, so he put it back in the box, placed it neatly, and locked it again.

"Miao Jiu, go back to Yiwu." Yang Congyi turned his head and gave an order, and the carriage and horse began to move.

"Hongyun Qianzhuang's business in the Great Song Dynasty is very large, and almost every state capital has its branches, so it is very convenient to get money. This time, the imperial court camp was allocated cash, from Lin'an to Yiwu road far, can not be brought, are in Lin'an Hongyun money village for easy to carry silver banknotes, I am not worried that they exchange gold and silver has the problem of insufficient fineness. Yang Congyi put the gold box back on top of the silver box and sat opposite Qingchen.

"Then I'm relieved. I was always worried that they were cheating, and I didn't dare to blink my eyes when I counted the silver. Hearing her husband's words, Qingchen finally let out a breath and completely relieved herself.

Yang Congyi smiled: "Whoever sees so much money for the first time is the same." I think when I was still in the martial arts, Lord Huang asked me to supervise the return of Yi, and gave me five thousand taels of silver as minister money, those silver in the martial arts I didn't even dare to go out of the door of the house, at that time I didn't believe in the money village, and I didn't go to the money village, and then went to Anqing to recruit new soldiers, I was pulling a large box of silver ingots, and then the supervisor made it back to Yi to run back and forth, Lin'an, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Guangzhou, no matter where you have to use a lot of money, only to slowly come into contact with the money village, it is really convenient to have a rich village. But after the real money is exchanged for paper, no matter how much is spent, it is not distressing at all, and the money is used too much, so there is no feeling, anyway, the money is not his own, it is used to do important things in the court, and it is spent where it should be spent. ”

Qingchen nodded, and then said: "You don't know, just now I went to the warehouse where they stored copper coins with the shopkeeper of the money bank, a big house was full of boxes, and there were piles of copper coins on the ground, they counted the money directly with scales, and then the shopkeeper calculated how many copper coins there were, and the money was scary!" ”

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "For Qianzhuang, copper coins are a burden, they are not of much value, and they still occupy space. Only gold and silver ingots are the most valuable in the bank, who will have nothing to do to go to the money village to change the copper money, the general money village will not change, the number is too much too difficult to count, can only estimate, if the customer moves the copper money back and counts carefully, the number is not right, then it will be troublesome, and it will have a great impact on the reputation of the bank. When they moved the gold and silver, they didn't let you into the warehouse, did they? ”

Qingchen nodded and said, "Well, you didn't let me see it." ”

Yang Congyi suddenly saw that Qingchen was still holding a long sword in his hand, so he smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, are you still afraid that someone will come to fight these gold and silver?" ”

As soon as Qingchen heard this, he suddenly noticed that he hadn't put down the sword in his hand, and hurriedly put the sword down, and replied: "Someone, I don't believe that anyone dares to fight this idea." ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "Okay, I slept late last night, and the way back is still long, so you can rest first." ”

Qingchen rarely slept late, and he did feel a little tired at this time, so he didn't say much, nodded, and then leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

Yang Congyi lifted the curtain and saw that the carriage had come outside the city, and instructed Miao Jiu: "Try to rush back before noon, pay attention to safety on the road, and squeak if something happens." ”

"Yes, sir." Miao Jiu turned around and agreed.

Qingchen is resting, Yang Congyi does not dare to rest, although there are no bold bandits on the official road, dare to rob halfway, but can not rule out special circumstances, if it is a normal time, he is not afraid, but now there is gold and silver in the car, he does not dare to be a little sloppy, must stay sober, prevent that little in case.

Looking at the gold and silver box and Qingchen beside him, Yang Congyi was still quite satisfied with his trip to Jinhua, the problem of money was basically solved, just take the silver back and exchange it for copper coins, and it was also very smooth to go to the state government to visit Lord Zhizhou.

Originally, when he was in Lin'an, he should have contacted the Wuzhou Prefecture in advance in the name of the palace front division, but because he was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, he did not communicate in advance. Fortunately, Lord Zhizhou was also an official in the court before, and he learned in advance from his own channels that the former division of the palace would build a camp in Yiwu, Wuzhou, and he was not surprised after Yang Congyi came to the door, but he didn't expect them to come so quickly.

In fact, Yang Congyi didn't have much specific things to talk about when he went to visit the Zhizhou Lord, but he just came to visit the local chief official routinely, and informed that the Election General Division had come to Yiwu, and now he had begun to prepare for the construction of the Election General Camp, and at the same time personally gave him the money and grain bills allocated by the imperial court to the Election General Division, and reminded the state government to prepare 500,000 grains and grass on time and send it to the Yiwu Election General Camp in time.

In the budget allocated by the imperial court to the election of generals, 500,000 guan was paid by the household department, and they did not want to take the cash money, so they deducted 500,000 guan of grain and grass, and these grains and grass were clearly stated to be provided by Wuzhou and surrounding states and counties, which could be offset in the annual taxes.

Not long after Yang Congyi talked with Lord Zhizhou in the state office, he pushed Lu You forward, and introduced Lu You's origin by the way.

Lao Zhizhou is a Jinshi in the Xuanhe period, Lu Youzu and his father's famous deeds have been heard, especially the Lu family's collection of books, but everyone who likes to read in the two Zhejiang areas knows its name. The two talked a few words, and Yang Congyi was put aside.

Seeing that Lu You and the old Zhizhou of Wuzhou had a smooth exchange, he hurriedly excused himself to leave, and left the rest to Lu You, who had already explained the division of labor before entering the yamen.

The carriage ran very smoothly, with five thousand taels of silver pressing the cart, and there were almost no bumps, but the speed of the carriage was not much lower than when it came.

Along the way, every post station had to let the horse pull the cart take a break, I wanted to change the horse at the post station, but the local post station how to have a good horse, after the change may not be able to go to the next post station to have to pick up the hooves, in desperation, can only let the horse pull the cart twenty miles to rest once, a short time off, so that it has enough physical strength to pull five thousand taels of silver and three adults back to Yiwu.

When the horse's physical strength gradually declined and the speed slowed down, Yang Congyi revealed his identity and borrowed a better horse to ride at the post station, and followed the running carriage.

Fortunately, there are not many pedestrians along the way, and there are no mountains and high slopes on the official road, covered by forests, and horse-drawn carriages are unimpeded.

Hurry up, Yang Congyi still couldn't rush back to Suxi at noon, and it was already past noon when they returned to Yiwu.

When I went to the county government to ask, I learned that Yu County Ling had not returned to Suxi in the morning, and Yang Congyi understood what was the reason when he heard it, so he immediately drove back to the inn and discussed with the innkeeper about exchanging some bits and pieces of silver.

Although Yiwu is small, the inn where they stayed is the best inn in Yiwu after all, although the shopkeeper is not rich and expensive, the family still has some savings, and so Yang Congyi identified himself, and took out fifty taels of silver ingots to exchange them for one tael, five taels, ten taels of small silver ingots and copper coins, the shopkeeper was very happy, he was worried that he could not earn the loose silver and copper coins for easy to keep the whole silver, so he immediately moved out a few boxes of copper coins and half a box of loose silver.

After the counting, half a box of loose silver weighed a total of 627 taels, and Yang Congyi directly exchanged 12 ingots and 50 taels of silver ingots for 600 taels of silver, and the odd shopkeeper left it himself.

The copper coins didn't have much time to count, and they were directly weighed on the scales, and the three boxes of copper coins weighed a total of 652 catties, Yang Congyi first made an IOU, borrowed 600 catties, and returned the copper coins to him within three days, or directly exchanged for silver.

Looking at the silver of the big ingot, the shopkeeper happily closed his mouth, there are not many big officials he has seen, not to mention the officials who are still quietly staying in his shop, can exchange with the court officials, how can he be unhappy and unassured, exchange with others, he may worry about the adulteration of the other party's silver ingots, but the silver ingots taken out by the officials are guaranteed by the reputation of the imperial court, so there is no need to worry at all.

As for the six hundred catties of copper coins, it is only more than 100 pounds, whether there is an IOU or not, as long as Yang Congyi speaks, he will lend it out.

After a short time, two carriages left the city and headed north, one pulling Yang Congyi, Qingchen and gold and silver, and the other pulling three boxes of copper coins and the innkeeper.
