"Okay, that's for the best. Xue Li is working hard, then there is work! Yang Congyi raised his hand and smiled.

Xue Lizheng didn't dare to accept the salute, hurriedly dodged a step, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, the villain doesn't feel bitter, it is the honor of the villain to help the adults and the master do something, and do some errands!" ”

"Okay, you go get busy first, see you tomorrow, I'll wait for your good news." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"Yes, the villain won't accompany the adults and the master. It's hot, so let's go back early. ”

After Xue Lizheng finished speaking, he gave a deep salute before leaving quickly.

"Yu County Order, it's not early, let's go back first."

Yang Congyi greeted, Yu Yu answered, and everyone followed, and soon left Jiangkou Village, and returned to the county seat by car and sedan chair.

The land in Eguchi Village has been negotiated, and it is only necessary to pay for them and build houses for them, and the construction of camps in the valley can begin.

Almost all of the money allocated by the imperial court to the election of generals was exchanged for portable silver banknotes in Lin'an, and this time from Lin'an to Yiwu, although Yang Congyi brought a lot, but they were all large amounts of silver money, which could not be paid directly to the villagers, and had to go to the money village to exchange for cash.

Jiangkou Village has a total of more than 300 acres of cultivated land, and a large amount of land will be requisitioned outside the river valley, and it is not yet possible to determine how much cultivated land there is, but there will certainly be thousands of acres, which will require a large amount of cash.

Yiwu County is a small place, the whole county is only a few thousand people, any money village will not be located here, to exchange money you have to go to Jinhua, Wuzhou Prefecture seat.

It has been promised to pay tomorrow, and the cash will be in place by noon tomorrow. Originally, he pinned his hopes on the county government, but after asking Yu Yu, Yang Congyi learned that the county government could not come up with 6,000 yuan in cash, and all non-physical taxes had already been handed over to the Jinhua Prefecture Government, and the county treasury was very empty.

There is no other way, since a promise has been made to the villagers of Jiangkou Village, for the smooth development of the follow-up construction and camping matters, the promise must be fulfilled.

After a little total, Yang Congyi made a decision to go to Jinhua immediately, in addition to exchanging money, he also had to go to the state government to transfer grain and grass.

Just go, since Lu You is in charge of the supplies, grain and grass, I have to take him with me on this trip.

Yiwu to Jinhua more than 100 miles of road, two carriages galloping on the official road, it is impossible to rush to Jinhua before dark, or have to rush overnight.

"I don't want you to come with you, it's uncomfortable." Looking at the sluggish Qingchen, Yang Congyi was also helpless.

Because he had to walk at night, he originally wanted Qingchen to rest in the inn, but Qingchen had already decided to accompany him at any time, no matter how many reasons there were, no matter how hard he walked, it would be difficult to convince her.

"I'm fine, but I'm still a little unused to riding in the car." Qingchen stubbornly replied.

From Quanzhou all the way to Lin'an, I took a car for more than a month, and I took a car for five or six days from Lin'an to Yiwu.

Lu You, who was sitting in the car in the back, was also in poor spirits at the moment, but he understood that since he agreed to come to Wuzhou with Lord Yang to join the army as a general, he couldn't easily retreat, he couldn't bear this hardship, so he didn't want to do big things in the future.

The sun has set, the sky is getting dark, the bright moon hangs in the sky, the terrain from Yiwu to Jinhua is flat, there are few woods on both sides of the official road, it is very clear in the moonlight, and it does not affect the carriage to hurry.

After passing a post station, they did not choose to go in and stay, but drank some water, ate a few things, fed the horses some forage, and continued to Jinhua.

At midnight, they finally arrived outside Jinhua City, and by this time the city gates had of course closed.

Fortunately, Jinhua is also a big city, after the Jingkang Rebellion, a large number of people in the north moved south, and it was still unsafe to Lin'an, so they continued to move south, and many people came to Quzhou and Wuzhou, where the terrain was relatively gentle between the mountains.

Quzhou, Wuzhou rivers are numerous, abundant water, convenient irrigation, fertile land, is a rare grain production area in the south of Suzhou and Hangzhou, coupled with the rivers flowing through the two states in Wuzhou Lanxi County confluence directly into the Qiantang River, Quzhou, Wuzhou and Lin'an contact and communication is very easy, so the big families gather, the population is more and more, but for hundreds of years Jinhua city has not expanded, the city can not live so many people, some people can only live outside the city, more than ten years, the city gate within a mile of the official road on both sides of the house shops, Because there is less control from the government outside the city, the vitality outside the city is better than that in the city.

Yang Congyi and the others easily found an inn that had not yet closed, asked for three rooms, washed up a little, and hurriedly fell asleep.

The next day, everyone left the inn at dawn, ate breakfast and came to the city gate to wait, Yang Congyi arranged the time very tightly, and could not delay for half an hour.

At three o'clock, the city gate opened, and Yang Congyi and others rushed to the money village in the city first.

There is a branch of Hongyun Money Village in Jinhua City, as early as when Lin'an Hongyun Money Village exchanged the money allocated by the imperial court, I heard the shopkeeper there say, otherwise Yang Congyi would not have exchanged all the hundreds of thousands of yuan for large silver bills that were easy to carry.

Hongyun Qianzhuang has not yet opened for business, but Yang Congyi couldn't wait, and directly ordered Miao Jiu to come forward and call the door.

After knocking and shouting, the man from the money bank hurriedly opened the door.

Without waiting for a question, Yang Congyi stepped forward to explain his intentions, and if he wanted to exchange it for cash, he must exchange it immediately.

Hongyun Money has rules, once the customer holds the silver banknotes of Hongyun Money Bank to exchange cash, as long as the state branches do not exchange more than 100,000 yuan, and the six central stores do not exchange more than 1 million yuan at a time, regardless of the weather or rain, the money can be exchanged at any time.

Yang Congyi was invited into the bank, and soon a shopkeeper came out to receive him. After carefully reading the silver banknotes, he immediately arranged to withdraw cash worth 10,000 taels of silver, and the requirements were all copper coins.

With so much cash, it is very inconvenient to count and move, and it takes a lot of time.

Yang Congyi also had to take Lu You to the state government to explain to Lord Zhizhou about the establishment of the imperial court in Wuzhou to elect generals, so the cash was counted, and the errand of supervising the loading of the car fell directly to Qingchen, and he left with Lu You after a little explanation.

She had seen tens of thousands of dollars in cash with her own eyes, and followed the shopkeeper of the money village into the warehouse where the copper coins were stored, and the piles of copper coins were filled with boxes, which dazzled her.

After the Jingkang Rebellion, the Great Song Dynasty was in urgent need of gold and silver, and the ratio of silver to copper coins rose sharply, although if it was peaceful today, some of the gold and silver hidden in the cellars of the wealthy families flowed out, and the exchange rate fell some, but now one or two silver must be exchanged for at least two thousand copper coins.

20,000 copper coins are counted one piece, I don't know how many days to count, they have to rush back to Suxi Jiangkou Village at noon, there is not so much time at all, but there are few copper coins.

There was not enough time, and the dust was urgent, so they wanted to know it within half an hour, and the shopkeeper reluctantly ordered the guy to weigh the copper coin directly.

The Great Song Dynasty used a universal system of money, although the plate type is diverse, but the size and quality of the copper coins are not much different, a thousand copper coins weigh about five catties and six taels.

After a box of copper coins was weighed and the box was weighed, the net weight was 233 catties and nine taels, and after the shopkeeper fiddled with the abacus a few times, he immediately told the box of copper coins that had been weighed by the dust was about 43,477 pieces.

Qingchen was stunned by these words, a box of copper coins was only more than 43,000 pieces, but forty or fifty yuan, how could there be dozens of boxes of 20,000 yuan coins, and it was impossible for them to move all the copper coins back today.

This is a big problem, Yang Congyi only said that it was best to ask for copper coins, but he didn't know how much 20,000 copper coins weighed, or he didn't think about this problem at all.

The husband is no longer around, and the problems and pressures all fall on Qingchen's head.

When the shopkeeper asked again if he wanted to weigh each box, Qingchen suddenly shook his head.

Dozens of boxes of copper coins, even if they are weighed, what can they do, hundreds of miles, how to move back within a few hours?

Qingchen fell into deep thought, Yang Congyi promised to give money to the villagers, but he didn't say that he must give copper money, what is wrong with dozens or hundreds of dollars exchanged for silver?

"Shopkeeper, we are from Yiwu, we want to bring 10,000 taels of cash back to Yiwu immediately, it will arrive at noon, is there any good way? Can it all be exchanged for cash? Yang Congyi was not around, Qingchen had to speak, and she had to make up her own mind, which should not have been something she did.

The shopkeeper of the money village was a little stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he came to his senses and said: "Since it is to be transported back to Yiwu, why did you say that it was all exchanged for copper coins just now?" I still think that your master is from Jinhua City. ”

Hearing this, Qingchen's face was slightly red, but because of the hot and stuffy weather, the light in the warehouse was a little dim, and it was difficult for everyone's eyes to find it. There are so many copper coins that we can't move back today, so let's exchange them for silver. ”

The shopkeeper of the money village looked up and down a few times at Qingchen, and asked very suspiciously: "It's all exchanged for silver, what can you do?" ”

Qingchen thought about it, nodded affirmatively: "If you can call the shots, just change it to silver, and you can move back to Yiwu today." ”

The shopkeeper of the money village said: "10,000 taels of silver is not light, it is more than 600 catties, a whole five boxes, how many people have you come, can you move back?" ”

Qingchen was shocked again, five boxes? More than 600 pounds? It's so heavy that I still can't move it back.

In desperation, she could only ask again: "Shopkeeper, I heard that one tael of gold can be exchanged for a lot of silver, can you exchange these ten thousand taels of silver for gold?" ”

The shopkeeper suddenly hesitated, how precious and scarce gold is, there is not much gold left in the bank, if 10,000 taels of silver are exchanged for gold, the gold in the money village will be reduced by nearly one percent, if there is not a sufficient number of gold shops, once there are people with ill intentions to run on the joint run, the gold of the money village will be exchanged, the money village will be * annoying.

But the customers who can hold a 10,000 taels of silver bills must be big households, and they can't be offended at all.

If there is no conclusive evidence to prove that the other party is deliberately running, the exchange cannot be refused, even if the other party knows that the other party intends to run, the exchange cannot be refused.
