Falling out of love can be big or small, some people commit suicide because they can't think about it, some people laugh it off, of course, more people choose to get drunk like Huozi, and then completely forget the previous absurdity.

However, the lovelorn person drank too badly, and in the end Li Zhang could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman, after all, he could not drink at other times, but at this time he had to accompany his brother, and the last two were drunk in Huiwei Zhai, Li Zhang didn't know how he went back, anyway, when he woke up the next day, he was already lying on his bed, and he had changed his clothes, and then he was counted down by Xiuxiu, saying that he vomited last night, and the clothes stinked and couldn't be wanted.

After getting drunk, Huozi quickly returned to normal and never mentioned the red whisk again, which also made Li Zhang feel at ease, but Huozi could not mention the woman, but Li Zhang couldn't help mentioning it, because she hurt her brother, there are many bad people in this world, and Li Zhang usually doesn't bother to care, but as long as they dare to provoke themselves, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

So Li Zhang quickly found someone to teach the red whisk and Wu Jia a lesson, and then drove them out of the capital, although it seems a bit overbearing to do so, but this is also their own fault, in fact, Li Zhang is already more merciful, if he is replaced by other nobles, to deal with this kind of little person who offends himself, then it is really called killing people without blood, and in the end even the government can't manage it.

However, through the Huozi incident, Li Zhang also found that the brothers and sisters in the family have grown up, such as Huozi and the ugly girl have reached the age of marriage, and the other smaller ones can wait for two years, but the two of them can't wait, so he is also ready to find a matchmaker to say goodbye to them, even if he doesn't want to get married, but these brothers and sisters can't delay.

It's just that what Li Zhang didn't expect was that when he and Huozi and Ugly Niang mentioned that they wanted to go on a blind date, these two people pushed left and right and were unwilling, Huozi was helpless, after all, he had just experienced emotional setbacks, and now it is normal to have no blind date, but Ugly Niang is unwilling for some reason, although Li Zhang is the eldest brother, he can't force them in this kind of thing, so he can only let the matchmaker help them find them first, and then try after a while.

In addition, Li Zhang also vigorously promoted the research and production of two new firearms, that is, grenades and mines, both of which have been tested by time and actual combat, and have now been produced several times and sent to the frontier, and the response is also quite good, especially the grenade is easy to use and powerful, not only the firearms army, but also other arms can also be equipped.

As early as last year, because Yizhou, that is, the Sichuan region of later generations lacked money, and the people could only trade with iron money, which was very inconvenient, so Liu E ordered the establishment of "Yizhou Jiaozi Affairs" in Yizhou, which was specifically responsible for the issuance of Jiaozi, in fact, it was paper money, and the first batch of Jiaozi issued reached more than 1.2 million yuan.

In fact, before Liu E ordered the issuance of Jiaozi, there had been Jiaozi among the people of Yizhou, but because of the chaos of private management, the problem of Jiaozi could not be exchanged often occurred, and the scope of issuance was also limited, so Liu E ordered the issuance of official Jiaozi, which is divided into five and ten times, which is also the world's first paper money, and it is also one of Liu E's greatest political achievements.

Jiaozi was originally only circulated in Yizhou, but after a year of development, coupled with the fact that there are many businessmen in Yizhou to do business in the capital, they brought Jiaozi to the capital, this kind of convenient paper money quickly became popular among merchants, and even the people also appeared to issue Jiaozi ticket numbers, for which there are also officials to the imperial court, hoping to set up Jiaozi affairs in the capital, to prevent the problem of chaotic management of private Jiaozi in the future.

However, for the issuance of Jiaozi, many ministers in the court still have a conservative attitude, after all, the Central Plains has used copper as money for thousands of years, although gold and silver are also very valuable, but they cannot be directly circulated, so they also have some doubts about replacing copper coins with paper money, worried that there will be problems after the issuance of Jiaozi.

In fact, the worries of these ministers are not all unreasonable, as the world's first kind of paper money, Jiaozi used for a long time is actually not very long, mainly because the Great Song Dynasty did not have any experience in issuing paper money, and later for the problem of military spending, so the imperial court issued Jiaozi indiscriminately, resulting in a sharp drop in the value of Jiaozi, and finally led to the abolition of Jiaozi and the issuance of money citation, but the same problem also appeared in Qian Yin later, and even the consistent Qian Yin can only be exchanged for copper coins for 100 Wen, which also leads to the reputation of paper money completely stinking.

Of course, there is opposition and support, and the two sides are arguing in the court, but this matter is very important, Wang Qinruo and other prime ministers have not expressed their views for the time being, and Liu E is also a little uncertain about this matter, so it is unknown whether Jiaozi will be issued.

Originally, Jiaozi was not about Li Zhang's business, but Li Zhang knew that the Great Song Dynasty was the end, and Jiaozi was mainly issued in Yizhou, so the establishment of Jiaozi in Tokyo was likely to be vetoed, and then thinking of the tragedy of Jiaozi issuance in history, Li Zhang secretly felt sorry, after all, the issuance of paper money was definitely a big progress, and it was also of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, the Great Song Dynasty has always been short of copper, because no matter how much copper, as long as it is minted into copper coins, it is simply not enough to be issued, because the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are not only used for their own use, but also hard currency in the surrounding Liao, Dali, and Wa countries, which also leads to a large outflow of copper coins from the Great Song Dynasty, so the copper coins have not been enough, otherwise there will be no Jiaozi in Yizhou.

But if paper money is used, the problem of money shortage will be solved, and the copper saved will also be of great use, for example, Li Zhang has always wanted to get the artillery out, and the best material for casting artillery is copper, of course, iron can also be, but the process required is very high, so Li Zhang wants to use copper to cast the cannon first, and wait until the process goes up in the future, and then it is not too late to switch to iron.

It's a pity that the price of copper is too high now, even if Liu E supports him again, he will not agree to this kind of behavior, but if the copper that can be minted can be saved, the materials for the artillery will also be available, and when he thinks of the scene when hundreds of artillery pieces are fired in a salvo, Li Zhang can't help but feel a sense of blood boiling.

In addition to solving the problem of copper, the significance of the banknote itself is not to mention, the production cost is low, it is easier to keep and transport, it is also convenient to use, and the country can also strengthen the influence and control of the economy through the issuance of paper money, and even influence other countries by economic means.

It is precisely because he knows the meaning of paper money, so Li Zhang is also very concerned about the matter of Jiaozi, and finally made up his mind to enter the palace to see Liu E, and now no decision has been made on this matter, so he may still affect the process of this matter, if he waits until Liu E makes a decision, then it will be too late to change it.

"Why are you here, what's going on with the firearms superintendent?" Li Zhang entered the vertical arch hall, and Liu E immediately asked, the firearms supervisor is newly established, and many things need to be adjusted, so Li Zhang has been running around a lot during this time, and when some things cannot be solved, he can only come to Liu E.

"Qiyu eldest lady, there is nothing wrong with the firearms supervisor, but I heard that the imperial court is discussing the establishment of a subordinate affairs in the capital, so I decided to ask to see the eldest lady!" Li Zhang said with a smile at the moment.

"Oh? What are your thoughts on the issue of Jiaozi? Liu E couldn't help but put down the fold in her hand when she heard Li Zhang's words, and then looked at him with interest and asked.

"I can't talk about any opinions, but as far as I know, Jiaozi was originally last year, it only began to be officially issued in Yizhou, only a year, Jiaozi has been circulated to the capital, and it is said that it is very popular among merchants, after all, Jiaozi is easy to carry, unlike in the past, you need to prepare boxes and boxes of copper coins, sometimes the copper coins are not enough, and even can only be bartered, or risk using gold and silver transactions." Li Zhang did not rush to express his opinion, but laid out a fact.

Liu E also heard the meaning of Li Zhang's words at this time, and immediately scolded with a smile: "Slippery head, it seems that you support Jiaozi, and there are many ministers in the court who agree with Jiaozi, thinking that it can solve the problem of money shortage, and it is also convenient to use in ordinary times, and the cost is very low, which is also of great benefit to the imperial court." ”

"Hehe, I think so too, in fact, the reason why the ministers in the court oppose it is mainly because Jiaozi is a new thing, so they are worried that there will be problems in the future, but as long as it is tried for a period of time, they will experience the benefits brought by Jiaozi!" was broken by Liu E's intentions, and Li Zhang also smiled cheekily.

Hearing Li Zhang say this, Liu E suddenly put away her smile at this time, and her face became a little serious: "Jiaozi does have a lot of convenience, but have you thought about it, money is simply the most important thing for a country, it can be said that it affects the whole body, in case there is a real problem with Jiaozi in the future, I am afraid that the whole country will fall into turmoil, who will bear this responsibility at that time?" ”

"But if you are blindly conservative, how can you move forward, for example, if King Zhao Wuling didn't change to Hufu cavalry shooting, how could you make Zhao Guo's cavalry armor in the world?" Li Zhang retorted at this time that what he was most worried about had happened, Liu E, as a woman, although she had the ability and skill, but she was a little lacking in courage, so it may not be easy to get her to agree to the currency reform, and it is estimated that this is one of the reasons why the capital did not set up a Jiaozi in history.
