Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Zhao Zhen is getting older and older, and recently he has become a queen and officially become an adult, but in this way, some people have discussed in private whether Liu E should return to Zhao Zhen, but this matter is too sensitive, if Liu E doesn't mention it herself, others don't dare to say it to her face, even Lu Zongdao, who is known as the prime minister of the fish head, does not dare to mention this matter, because he is worried that it will cause a split between the two palaces, which will cause turmoil in the court.

Of course, not everyone dares to mention it, for example, Li Zhang knew that in a few years, that is, when Zhao Zhen was almost twenty years old, there was a stunned young man who had just entered the court and wrote to Liu E, asking her to return to Zhao Zhen, but this stunned young man was immediately demoted, and this stunned young man was the famous Fan Zhongyan in later generations.

Li Zhang didn't have Fan Zhongyan's courage, and he didn't want to provoke a fight between Liu E and Zhao Zhen, so he concealed the real reason why Liu E was unwilling to take risks, Zhao Zhen was still too young after all, and he didn't doubt it, after all, he was not very familiar with government affairs, and it was normal for Liu E to veto a proposal.

"Will Jiaozi really bring so much convenience?" In the end, Zhao Zhen asked curiously, he usually doesn't need money at all, so he doesn't have any concept of copper coins and the like, and naturally he doesn't know the impact of paper money.

"Of course, Jiaozi is actually paper money, and paper money is actually a credit currency, and copper money is a kind of physical currency, there is a huge difference between the two, let me tell you about it carefully......

Li Zhang popularized some basic knowledge of economics to Zhao Zhen at the moment, although he himself is only a half-tone, but he is much stronger than an ancient person like Zhao Zhen, after all, the financial economy of later generations is so developed, even an ordinary person will understand some basic economic principles.

However, Zhao Zhen really has no concept of economics, and he doesn't understand what Li Zhang said, but he understands one thing, that is, the emergence of paper money can solve the problem of money shortage, and the copper saved can make a very powerful firearm, which makes him also very interested: "Cousin, since paper money is so important, otherwise I will ask the eldest lady, maybe I can make her change her mind?" ”

"Don't, don't go!" Li Zhang was also taken aback when he heard Zhao Zhen's words, and hurriedly persuaded Liu E, Liu E has become obsessed with imperial power, and she is very suspicious, if Zhao Zhen directly persuades her to change her decision to Jiaozi, I am afraid that it will only make Liu E suspicious of Zhao Zhen, which he does not want to see anyway.

"Why?" Zhao Zhen looked at Li Zhang's anxious appearance and asked very puzzled.

"This ...... The eldest lady's attitude is very resolute, and many ministers in the court think that currency is important and must not be moved lightly, so the opposition to this matter is also very strong, which is also the main reason why the eldest lady is reluctant to set up a subordinate affairs in the capital, so I'm afraid it's useless if you go. Li Zhang made up a reason to explain, of course, what he said couldn't be wrong.

Zhao Zhen finally nodded when he heard this, and whispered: "This is also true, the matter of coins is very important, especially the relationship with the people is inseparable, if something happens, it may cause a big mess, it is normal for the ministers in the court to have concerns in this regard, but it can't be conservative because of this, if it's not for your cousin to improve your firearms, where will you get the muskets?" ”

Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Li Zhang also felt very relieved, because Zhao Zhen had realized the benefits of new things, which was also a good thing for him, because he would bring more new things to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and Zhao Zhen also had to learn to adapt, and now he has the awareness of this.

"In fact, even if the eldest lady does not agree to set up a child in the capital, I have other ways." Li Zhang suddenly smiled at this time, he was also a little frustrated when he was rejected by Liu E, but when he was playing cards just now, he suddenly thought of a way.

"What's the solution?" Zhao Zhen said with great interest again at this time.

"Do you want to do something else?" Li Zhang suddenly smiled strangely at this time.

"Think, isn't it like the business of Aftertaste?" Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard Li Zhang's words, he had participated in Huiwei Zhai at the beginning, and he could get a lot of dividends every year, although he didn't need money, but the people around him needed money, but the use in the palace was numerous, he wanted to reward the people around him, or some additional expenses, he needed to spend his own money, and this dividend of Huiwei Zhai made him a lot more comfortable.

"If you want to make money, you can see how much money you can come up with in the next two days, and then give it all to me, this time I'm going to play big!" Li Zhang immediately said again.

"Good!" Zhao Zhen agreed without hesitation when he heard this, he had unconditional trust in Li Zhang, and he didn't even ask what business Li Zhang did with the money.

It was not early, Li Zhang also said goodbye and left the palace, as soon as he got home, he immediately asked people to call the ugly girl and Huozi, in addition to Xiuxiu and Douzi's sister and brother, Xiuxiu is the big housekeeper of the family, she knows best how many families in the family, Douzi followed Li Yonghe to manage the accounts before, and accumulated a lot of experience, but he was too young, so he mainly stayed at home to study in the past two years, and helped Xiuxiu manage the accounts by the way.

"Sister Ugly Niang, Wang Dahu from East Street came to his door to propose to his son yesterday, don't you think about it?" When Douzi saw the ugly girl and Huozi coming in, he immediately smiled and said to the ugly girl.

Since Li Zhang released the wind to propose marriage to Huozi and Ugly Niang, although the two of them refused, but the people who took the initiative to come to the door to propose marriage are still endless, after all, Li Zhang's family is powerful and financially not bad, although Ugly Niang and Huozi are not Li Zhang's own brothers and sisters, but they are about the same, so they have also become the matchmaker's sweet pastry, Wang Dahu of East Street fell in love with Ugly Niang, although Ugly Niang is a little ugly, but she has strong ability to make money, and there is Li Zhang's big backer behind him, so he wants to say kiss to his son several times.

"The stinky boy dares to tease the old lady, believe it or not, I'll find a matchmaker to propose to you tomorrow?" When the ugly lady heard Douzi's words, she immediately twisted his ears and airways, although Wang Dahu has a lot of money, but his son is not very good, he is not good at learning and not knowing, he is naturally not looking down on ugly girls, in fact, Li Zhang can't look down on it, so he doesn't even see this Wang Dahu, but the other party is like a dog skin plaster sticking to it.

"It hurts~, Sister Ugly Niang's subordinates are merciful, but our Dou family is left with such a lone seedling as me, and the sooner you get married, you can spread the branches and leaves early." Douzi has a pair of sharp teeth, and he is screaming in pain at the moment.

"That's good, the butcher Xu who delivered meat to our restaurant has a daughter at home, and he helped his father deliver meat last time, you should have seen it, so it's better to let her be your daughter-in-law." The ugly lady is not easy to mess with, and immediately laughed again.

When Douzi heard the daughter of the Xu butcher's family, his face was almost green, because the five big and three thick of the Xu butcher looked like a wild man, and his daughter was like him and a mold carved out, with great strength to carry half a pig, he couldn't afford such a woman.

Seeing the beans deflated, the ugly lady couldn't help laughing, Li Zhang also joked a few words at this time, and then a few people sat down, Xiuxiu also prepared a few snacks very intimately, everyone can chat while eating.

"I'm ready to do big business!" After chatting a few words, Li Zhang suddenly spoke.

"What kind of big business, big brother, you just command!" Huozi was also refreshed when he heard Li Zhang's words, in addition to being interested in women, what he was most interested in was making money, but now Huiweizhai's business has reached the extreme, he was planning to open a few branches, but he was suffering from the lack of reliable manpower, and relying on a memorial restaurant can no longer satisfy his desires.

"Jiaozi, you should know, right?" Li Zhang smiled again at the moment, whether it was a morning shop or a restaurant, it was actually just for Huozi to practice their hands, after all, they were young before, and they couldn't do any big business, so they just used these to train them, and now Huozi and Ugly Niang are already adults, and it is time to give them a bigger stage.

"Big brother, you want to open a Jiaozi shop?" The ugly girl's reaction was final, and at this time I couldn't help but be surprised, before the establishment of Jiaozi in Yizhou, Jiaozi was issued by Jiaozipu, but due to the chaos of the industry, Zhang Yong, a famous minister, rectified the Jiaozi industry, and issued Jiaozi by 16 merchants, and the style of Jiaozi was also unified, and then Jiaoziwu was specially set up to be responsible for the issuance of Jiaozi, and now there are Jiaozipu in the capital, but because there is no official control, the whole industry also seems to be a little chaotic.

"Yes, but I don't plan to issue ordinary Jiaozi, but real banknotes, so naturally it can't be called Jiaozi Shop, just call it Qianxing!" Li Zhang said again with a smile.

Liu E didn't want to set up Jiaozi in the capital, but Jiaozi as a convenient paper money has appeared, and it can't be banned at all, so Li Zhang thought of simply setting up a private bank to issue paper money, anyway, the bank does not necessarily have to be nationalized, for example, the banks of many countries in later generations are private, and they also have the right to issue currency.

Of course, the name bank must not be used, in the later Ming and Qing dynasties, silver can be circulated as currency, so there is the name bank, but silver is not allowed to circulate as currency in the Song Dynasty, copper is legal tender, but it always feels a little awkward to call the copper bank, so it is simply called the money bank.

"Jiaozi, I naturally know, there have been a lot of Jiaozi shops in the capital recently, especially some businessmen in Yizhou have experience, and the Jiaozi shops they opened in the capital are also very famous, can we beat them?" Huozi raised his own questions at this time, although he believed in Li Zhang, he had limited understanding of Jiaozi before, so he was also confused about this unfamiliar industry.
