You must know that many of the previous ideological controversies were provoked by Han Yi, even if it was not provoked by Han Yi, it has a lot to do with Han Yi, but this time Han Yi has always remained neutral and almost disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

It can be seen that his identity with Wu Meiniang has changed, everything before, he was at the forefront, what is the blame, what is the knife, it is all him, it is not that he has this hobby, but he had no way at that time, if he wants to take the position, then he must take the lead, and take over all the dirty work and tiring work. And now that Wu Meiniang has returned to the court, she also needs to be on the throne, so of course she has to be at the forefront of everything.

And Han Yi is already a god-like existence in the hearts of the people, and there is no need to take the blame anymore.

He has now reached the realm of Li Ji, he usually doesn't speak much, and he is relatively leisurely, trying to put his mind on his family, all day long, he will either accompany Peony and Wuyi at home, or accompany Feixue to write at Yang's house, or go to Chen Shuozhen, and even pick up Han Xuanyi and Han Rui to and from school.

But with the Northwest Trade Caravan coming to Chang'an, Han Yi was a little busier, because Zhang Daxiang had already gone to Liangzhou, and he was mainly responsible for Chang'an.

"Haha! There are friends from afar, don't you say it! ”

Han Yi strode out and opened his arms to greet the Northwest businessmen such as Wu Kelie and Yigu who came to visit.

Very warmly gave each of them a hug.

"Wow! You guys are really good! ”

Han Yi grabbed Wu Kelie's arm and looked them up and down.

I saw that all of them were tall leather boots, breeches, wool coats, and their distribution, they were all handsome.

Wu Kelie smiled and said: "This is all given to us by Zheng Gongzi, we also think it looks good, the key is convenient to travel, and we are also going to buy a lot of these clothes and pants from the beauty of freedom, it is indeed convenient to wear." ”

They are not as particular as the people of the Central Plains, and they are still convenient for clothes, because their herdsmen have to run outside every day, serving in a new style, and they feel that it is very suitable for their lives.

Han Yi let go of Wu Kelie and said with a smile: "Then Zheng Shanxing is really good at trading, and after sending so many pieces, he got a big order." ”

"Compared to you, Brother Han, this is nothing." Wu Kelie laughed and said, "Brother Han, you are really a god!" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "How much do you ask me for this, I will pat myself as soon as we meet." ”

"No, no, no!"

Wu Kelie shook his head again and again, and said: "This is what we say from the bottom of our hearts, I think when we left Chang'an, the entire Guanzhong region was in a depression, and we were deeply worried about this, but this time, not to mention Chang'an, Liangzhou has become more prosperous than before, incredible, this is really incredible." ”

The rest of the merchants also nodded.

Before they came, they were still a little worried, thinking that with such a large trade volume, the terrible situation in the Central Plains could be swallowed, but they had just arrived in Liangzhou, and the goods they brought were almost sold.

Han Yi said excitedly: "I told you before, that crisis is just a small storm for our Datang, as long as my Datang background is still there, I can recover immediately, it's not a thing." Let's go, go inside and say. ”

When they came to the house, without waiting for Han Yi to invite them to sit down, Wu Kelie said: "Brother Han has helped us a lot over the years, and it can even be said that without Brother Han, we would not be where we are today. ”

His retinue immediately stepped forward with gifts.

When the first box was opened, there was a ruby inside, the size of an egg.

The gemstones of this year, however, have no artificial products, they are all natural.

Han Yi is a knowledgeable person, and wowed, "This is really a baby!" Where did you get that? ”

Wu Kelie smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Han, this gem was originally set on the crown of the queen of Persia, and after Persia was wiped out by the Great Food in recent years, this gem fell into the hands of the Great Food Merchant, and I specially bought it for Brother Han." ”

Han Yi nodded with a little emotion, and said, "I understand your kindness, but don't give this thing to me, go and give it to the queen." "I thought, my ladies, you sent me a gem, and I can't find a second one, who do you want me to give it to?

"Queen?"

Wu Kelie was stunned, at the time of the crisis, he was in Chang'an, and his impression of the queen was extremely bad!

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "That crisis was not the queen's intention, it was made by Li Yifu and them, and you gave me the things on this crown, it will not be good for me to spread it." ”

Wu Kelie knew that there were many taboos in the Central Plains, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is what I don't think about." ”

Han Yi is now their faith, not a very noble gift, he doesn't dare to give it to Han Yi, they think that only the jewel on the crown can be given to Han Yi.

Han Yi smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, your kindness, I understand it." ”

"Brother Han, you don't have to accept this gem, but you must accept this carpet!" Yigu said suddenly: "This is a carpet woven by our northwest women and specially entrusted to us to give it to Brother Han to express our gratitude to Brother Han." ”

I saw that the four subordinates opened a wool carpet and spread it directly on the hall of Xiaofu, which shows that this carpet is not ordinarily large, and there are very exquisite patterns on it.

Han Yi seemed very interested in this, stepped forward, stroked the carpet and said, "This carpet is really exquisite!" ”

This is what later generations called, Hetian carpets, even in later generations, are all hand-woven, and the price is not cheap.

Wu Kelie smiled: "Brother Han likes it!" ”

"I like it very much." Han Yi said again: "But such a good commodity, you should sell it in the Central Plains, and it can be sold as a high-end commodity, which can bring wealth to the majority of women in the northwest." ”

Wu Kelie laughed and said: "Brother Han thinks about us people in the northwest all the time, and we are really moved!" To tell you the truth, when we came back here, we brought a total of 1,000 copies, but when we arrived in Liangzhou, they sold almost the same, and I only left 50 to bring to Chang'an, of which 10 were given to Brother Han, these are a little bit of the hearts of the women in the northwest states and counties. However, we are also ready to mass-produce this carpet. ”

Han Yi's fame in the northwest region is beyond the imagination of many people, from women to children, they all like Han Yi very much, and Han Yi's deeds have been made up into stories there.

Han Yi smiled: "Since this is the case, then I might as well be respectful." ”

In addition to the carpet, they also sent some very valuable medicinal herbs to Han Yi, and Han Yi also smiled and invited them to sit down.

"I heard that the goods you brought this time are more than double that of the last time, it seems that the development of the northwest is very good!" Han Yi said with a smile.

Wu Kelie hurriedly said: "This is thanks to Brother Han, if it weren't for Brother Han telling us how to produce leather, wool and grow cash crops on a large scale, the northwest region is where it is today, and we herdsmen in the northwest very much hope that Brother Han can go to the northwest." ”

"It's a chance, I'm still so young." Han Yi said with a smile.

"That's, that's."

The Ukles laughed.

Han Yi said again: "But now I have to ask you to tell me about the development of the northwest." ”

Wu Kelie hurriedly said: "Leather, medicinal materials, let's not talk about it, does Little Brother Han know how everyone calls Beiting now?" ”

Han Yi shook his head.

"Little Chang'an."

"Little Chang'an?"

Wu Kelie nodded and said: "This is all because of Brother Han's Northwest Plan, which caused many people from the Central Plains to go to Beiting, and now Beiting speaks all Guanzhong dialect, and they have brought cultivated land technology, which has multiplied the cultivated land in our northwest." ”

Han Yi was pleasantly surprised: "This is a good thing!" ”

Agriculture can make the northwest more stable, and it can also further expand the trade between the two sides, the basis of all trade in grain, without which will produce other products.

Wu Kelie smiled and nodded, and said: "In addition, Beiting and Dadu Hufu have also established many Datang Academies, and our children are learning Chinese characters, but this is thanks to Pei Duhu." ”

Han Yi sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Wu Kelie said: "When we first established the college, our children felt that it was very difficult to learn, and some were unwilling to learn, but later Pei Duhu took the fairy tale of the man in white as a textbook, and now our children want to go to school, they all want to learn Chinese characters, and now all the states in the northwest are building colleges." ”

"And that's the thing!" Han Yi thought to herself that she would have to tell Feixue about this later, so that she could be happy.

Yi Gu said: "I don't know who the man in white is, my little son, I hope I can see this man in white, but after we inquired, we learned that only Brother Han knows." ”

Han Yi smiled: "I also want to tell you, but I signed a confidentiality contract with the man in white, I can't say this." ”

Yigu said regretfully: "That's it, then forget it---- then." ”

Han Yi smiled apologetically, and then said: "If the northwest is well developed, then I will be at ease, after all, I have spent a lot of effort in the northwest." ”

"That's, that's, so the people of our northwest are very grateful to Brother Han." Ukhori nodded repeatedly.

Yigu said suddenly: "Brother Han, in fact, there is one thing that has been bothering us all along, I originally wanted to come to talk to Brother Han this time, but I didn't expect that when I first arrived in Chang'an, I found that Brother Han had solved this problem." ”

Han Yi was curious: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's money." Yigu Road.

Wu Kelie hurriedly added: "That's right, in the past few years, the commercial development of the northwest has been very good, and there are two very large markets in Beiting and Daduhu, which may not be as good as Liangzhou and Chang'an. But we have always been bartering, at most it is to take the silk of the Central Plains as currency, but it is inconvenient to hold silk after all, especially to buy small goods, we originally wanted to exchange some copper coins from the Central Plains, but the transportation of copper coins is inconvenient, and there are not many copper coins in the Central Plains, but after we came to Chang'an, we found that the people of Chang'an are using new vouchers, and we also deliberately exchanged a lot of vouchers. ”

As he spoke, he pulled a wallet out of his bosom.

Han Yi hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, where did you get this bag?" ”

Wu Kelie was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "This is also given to us by Zheng Gongzi, and it is specially used to hold vouchers." ”

"It's weird." Han Yi said: "Why didn't I see the beauty of freedom selling this wallet." ”

Wu Kelie said: "It is said that they have not been sold yet. ”

Zheng Shanxing on the dog day, he didn't give me one of these things, how can it be reasonable. Han Yi said: "This looks very useful." He seems to be extremely happy, this is the wallet, he has seen too much, but this is the wisdom of the contemporary people, not brought by him, he saw everything invented by the people of the Tang Dynasty, he was very excited, but it was the ones he invented himself, which made him feel very boring, purely to go through the process and serve his plan, that's all, his perfume sells so well, it is a monopoly so far, he doesn't want to mention it.

"But when it comes to being easy to use, it's still worth using vouchers." Wu Kelie took out a thick stack of vouchers from his wallet and said excitedly: "This voucher is so convenient to use, see if you can also issue this kind of voucher in our northwest region." ”

Compared with the Central Plains, they are more eager for currency, because they have not had currency for a long time, and now the business is developing so rapidly, if there is currency, it will be more able to stimulate the economic development of the northwest, which is very beneficial to businessmen, they originally wanted to exchange some copper coins to go back, but the market can not see copper coins, they all use vouchers, they like vouchers very much, it is too convenient to use.

Han Yi said: "You should know that the voucher is just a substitute for copper coins, and the picture is convenient, and the voucher itself is worthless, and if it is to be promoted in the northwest, this court needs to be carefully considered." ”

"It's okay!" Yigu said excitedly: "Our people in the northwest usually go to market, and most of the purchases are Central Plains goods, as long as the voucher can buy Central Plains goods, then it is valuable, as for whether it can be exchanged for copper coins, it is only secondary, we don't care." ”

Wu Kelie also said: "Brother Han, you really don't know how eager our northwest region is to have currency, we merchants are now taking silk to send to those herdsmen, even salt and paper, but carrying silk and salt every day to buy things, it is really inconvenient, if we have currency, our northwest economy will definitely be able to go to the next level." ”

"That's it!"

Han Yi frowned, promoting vouchers in the northwest, of course it was in his plan, as long as the currency is unified, the two sides will be more closely connected, but the problem is that it has not been long since the Central Plains has been promoted, the whole system has not yet matured, and even this policy is only temporary, he did not expect that Wu Kelie They are already thinking about the currency, and it can be seen that the rapid economic development of the northwest, if there is no large enough economic scale, this currency is dispensable, it is because of frequent transactions, it will be eager for currency, said: " You must know that the imperial court's issuance of vouchers this time is not regarded as a long-term policy, mainly because the imperial court cannot fill the vacancy of currency in the market in a short period of time. ”

Wu Kelie said: "The vacancy in our northwest is even greater, even if it is temporary, we will accept it, as long as the imperial court guarantees that the voucher can be exchanged for goods in the Central Plains." ”

You're so knowledgeable, aren't you? Seeing that they seemed to be determined to ask for this voucher, Han Yi could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, I will discuss with Your Majesty and other ministers at that time to see if I can promote this voucher in the Northwest Region as soon as possible." ”

"Then we are waiting for the good news of Brother Han!"

Wu Kelie and Yi Gu all looked excited.

They are indeed too eager for money, and for them, they do not think about copper money, but about purchasing power, and they can only buy the goods of the Central Plains, which are valuable.

But Han Yi has to consider the problem of inflation, and he doesn't dare to mess around, he still has to come step by step.
