Speaking of doing the collection, Yanyan's mother was a little confused.

In fact, they hadn't even heard of this "picking" before, and it was all Li Hu who came to mention it, and everyone knew that there was such a thing. What to do with this thing...... They don't know, if they don't do it in the county, they still don't know, everyone doesn't even know how to do it, he Li Hu is a foreigner, what can he do if he runs to the county alone? Does he know where the yamen opens? Who to ask?

Yanyan and her mother thought about it.

Her distant cousin married a man, and she had been in the county government for many years, and if there was anything in the family before, she would bring some gifts to find it, and she might as well find it this time, the problem Li Hu didn't know him. So, after returning to the house, she said to Yang Yanyan, who had not yet fallen asleep: "Li Hu is going to the county to do the collection, and I don't see him asking the adults for the way." You go to Yixian with him tomorrow, find your cousin-in-law, and see what to do, whether you have to give gifts or not. ”

Yang Yanyan just wanted to go to the county seat, and she used to be cautious when she went out, and she didn't dare to run around.

But when Li Hu came to the house, she felt that taking Li Hu with her was more reassuring than bringing hundreds of fierce dogs, so she said, "Well." I want to go. ”

Yang Tu is the king of laziness. After breakfast the next day, he hadn't gotten up yet.

Li Hu said that he was going to do something, and Yanyan and her mother asked Yanyan to join him and tell him closely for a long time, how to speak, how to ask, and what to pay attention to. After all, I haven't read a book, and when the old man talks about the inner process, he has to repeatedly describe it in detail, and sometimes he doesn't get the word right. Yang Yanyan was long-winded, so she said, "Mother." He's not from here, he doesn't know what to do in the county, he doesn't know the rules, I don't know? ”

Her sister-in-law couldn't help but scold her on the side: "You know. You know you have to eat. ”

The reason why she said this was that her sister-in-law had palpitations. Last time, she went to the county with her mother-in-law in the same village, but she didn't go to a familiar place to eat, and after eating, she couldn't count how much money she ate...... It's not that the countrymen are wrong, it's the shops on the street. It happened that Wang Tingchang and some of the village leaders in his hometown were all there that day, and a group of people came out from the county government to find a place to eat, and they touched it, and the money was cleared. Therefore, it is necessary for her to arrange where her mother eats and whose house the horse is tied to.

People from a township go to eat with people from a township, and people from a township go to buy things from people from a township, this has become a rule, otherwise you will be bullied, come back and tell your neighbors, everyone will ask you, who is this person in the county, why don't you go to him, didn't you ask for yourself.

Li Hu is going to go on horseback.

This little horse Lie, his body is also short, he can't ride together, and Yan Yan can't even ride a mule, if he doesn't ride a horse together, he has to put a donkey cart, otherwise, just by walking, he can't tell when he will go to the county seat. As soon as Yanyan's mother came out, she asked if there were anyone in the village who went to Yi County, but fortunately, when others said who was going, they sent them out, stood at the entrance of the village and waited, and when a few mothers-in-law in the village came out in a donkey cart, they asked Yanyan to hurry up and make up the number.

Yang Yanyan climbed up and went to the middle, hugging a sister-in-law affectionately.

Li Hu was already riding on the horse, holding a ruler-long horsewhip, tying some dry food and fodder behind the horse's buttocks, cleaning up his own body, and the horse was also cleaned. He was waiting for the donkey cart to go first, and he would follow.

The women were enthusiastic and competed to tease Yang Yanyan: "You see your Li Hu riding a horse and whipping a handsome man." ”

"Jun" is actually only one aspect, and they don't know how to say anything else.

Li Hu's horse is still not so honest, waiting for people, and will move around from time to time, lifting two front legs to jump, Li Hu is spinning on it, holding the reins with one hand, and putting the horsewhip behind him with one hand, and his body is not moving at all, not afraid that the horse is not good, but also looks majestic.

Li Hu arranged for Dog Chestnut to make a scene at the entrance of the village and weave two houses.

At the other end of the village, there is a corner of grain that is barren and uninhabited, and it is full of thorn trees, which is good to clean up in winter, and the dog chestnut uses a mule to set the cart, pulls a dozen young people, and goes over with a sickle and a firewood knife, and comes out from another place, and sees Li Hu riding a horse at the entrance of the village in the other direction, and shouts to him several times, Li Hu first goes to them, and then goes again, chasing the donkey cart.

Everyone originally thought that Li Hu was gone, so they should wait for him, but they saw him alone and a horse, and raised a high snow smoke to catch up from behind.

The horse galloped, and looked at it as if the first two legs had never been straightened at all, and the light saw that the body was shrunk and the lightning pulled through the snow, faster than the nomad who sprang by on the road from time to time.

When he came up, the mothers-in-law couldn't help but say, "Li Hu." The horse is short and small, it doesn't look much bigger than a donkey, why is it running so fast? Dog chestnut said that if you buy this horse, it will be in your hands and you can use it, is it true or false? If you let Yanyan ride, will it also be a stumbling man? ”

What do you mean?

If this horse still listens to the arrangement of others and knows that the relatives are separated, then the god horse is boundless.

There was a man from Yangjia Village who lived on the edge of the county seat, and when he arrived at the county seat, everyone went to his house, just to put down the carriage and horses, and arrived.

To tie the horse to their house, Li Hu couldn't help but hesitate.

There are some big animals in the county, all the way over, Li Hu clearly felt that his horse had a commotion from time to time, and whenever he wanted to castrate the horse as soon as he went back, lest he want to lie down when he saw his mother, and he wanted to trample. Because there were still two large animals in front of him, he was afraid that the horses would not be honest and he would not be able to get them, so he told his master, and deliberately tied them to the back of the house, and told sù: "Don't let people get too close." ”

Yang Yanyan walked a long way, and was still telling him: "Actually, this pony is quite honest, I touched it yesterday, and it didn't kick me." You should take it to see more people, just see many people, after tying the house, it is a cold wind from the northwest, maybe someone will steal it. ”

Dare to love her for treating horses as people.

The two walked around the street.

Yang Yanyan wanted to go around and buy some pastries, went to her cousin's house to pick them up, and asked, only to know that pastries are so expensive now.

When Li Hu came back from Baojun, he naturally knew why it was expensive, and listened to her muttering and disgusting, and the pastry seller's complaint, so he immediately made up his mind for her and chose to pay. The prices in the county are much lower than those in the county, the county will be much lower than the state, and the state will be much lower than the capital. He actually wants to ask about the rise and fall of prices, ask a few, are businessmen who can't ask any signs, just know that they are penniless with you, walk around the street, look at a money village door plaque bet on "three points of the hall granted", without saying a word, Yang Yanyan was still a little timid, was pulled by him, entered, and beat him on the back. It's sensitive here, don't ask, there is a paper on the small wooden card, which says the exchange rate of silver coins, and the Dongxia coin fell by one or two three hundred and five wen...... Jingkang's money rose a bit in turn.

He brought a few pieces of money, and he hung it on his body, staring at it for a while, and the money bank came up and asked him: "Closing coins." Do you want to sell what you have on you? ”

Li Hu knew that Sanfentang did not collect official coins, and this one was collecting them independently.

The problem is that Sanfentang can exchange Dongxia coins, that is because it is full of money, guaranteeing foreign trade, allowing exchange, a small bank, just because it is cooperating with Sanfentang, even exchanged Dongxia coins, Sanfentang came? If it is from Sanfentang, how many Dongxia coins should it be?

Encourage the use of Dongxia coins, not afraid of imperial decrees?

Two days ago, Baojun Sanfentang exchanged huàn, this exchange huàn is 300 Wen, to this point, it is said that it should lag behind, but it is unexpectedly lower than Baojun.

He deliberately reversed and said: "I just came back from Baojun, and I saw in Baojun that one or two pieces of silver were exchanged for three hundred and twenty Dongxia coins, how did I come to you and become three hundred and five?" ”

The people of Qianzhuang did not deny it, and sued sù: "You are Baojun, we are a county after all." ”

In this way, Li Hu must have fallen again in Dongxia.

If it falls, it should also fall, and three hundred Wen is exchanged for one or two huàn, which is extremely abnormal in itself. Li Hu couldn't see any clues from it, so he excused himself and said: "I have official coins with me, and I want to exchange some coins for some silver, but I can't exchange them for a small amount. ”

He was thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to leave.

The people from Qian Zhuang smiled and said, "Yes." I can't change the money, and I look like a scum. But you can directly exchange it for Dongxia coins. We have received a notice that the government itself is using Dongxia coins to buy back official money, and you can directly exchange your official money for Dongxia coins. He leaned over and whispered: "Our money village is in the state, fast horse pigeon to upload news to the place, the three branches may not have our news to go fast, if you go to other places, people will not change you, know why not?" They can't get it for sure, and they don't dare to change it. ”

Li Hu said: "If it is exchanged for Dongxia coins, it can't be used in the same way as official coins, and some people don't know it." ”

The people in Qianzhuang laughed and said: "The people have been using it for a long time, but it is the money of the imperial court, who dares to keep it in their hands if it falls to this kind of Cheng dù?" Some uninformed people don't know and dare not use it, but they will use it like official money in the future. The notices have been posted, and there are all outside the government, if you can't really go to the government to redeem it, you have to wait a few days, if you don't believe it, you can run and take a look. The notice said that the king of Dongxia was well aware of the righteousness and was willing to negotiate peace with the imperial court, and he was fighting in the desert, which was also the great cause of the Yong people. ”

Li Hu was surprised: "What did you say?" ”

Can this be justified?

Yang Yanyan pulled Li Hu and reminded him to leave quickly, seeing that it was already noon, she hurried to her cousin's house.

Li Hu was about to go out, still twisting his head, unable to believe it.

This news alone is enough for the price of Dongxia money to fall.

In the past, people exchanged Dongxia coins because they were afraid that the official currency would depreciate, and in order to preserve the value of the money in their hands, some businessmen began to compete for the insufficient amount of Dongxia coins.

Now the imperial court has a exchange, and I don't know where he got the Dongxia money, anyway, it means that his government holds a large number of Dongxia coins, and uses them to exchange them, so as to maintain the value of the official money, and the people who have Dongxia coins in their hands must be afraid that the price of Dongxia money will fall, and in order to buy it expensive and reduce losses, they will temporarily throw out Dongxia money to increase their official currency, which is good for the official currency.

Some people say that money is the credit of the government.

In fact, this cannot be said, money is the trust of the people in the government's guarantee of prices and purchasing power.

Now the government has become what money you believe can guarantee purchasing power, and what money I give you to solve your own crisis.

Li Hu was asking himself: "Who came up with this method, if you want me, do I want to get it?" ”
