Tianyin Cave.

Under the ever-bright lamp, Master Yihui meditated with a kind face. Seeing Qingyin coming, he smiled kindly and pointed to the futon opposite.

Qingyin sat cross-legged opposite Yihui Shitai.

A stick of sandalwood was burning in the cave, and in the smoke of the incense, a wise master opened his mouth to tell about an incident more than 1,200 years ago that shocked the Tang Dynasty and endangered the fate of the empire.

With Yihuishi's magnetic voice, Qingyin was instantly brought into the center of this strange incident.

※In the first year of Tang Zhen's first year, in the bustling area of Chang'an Street in Kyoto, there was a business called "Blum Yuan". The boss Tang Wanchun is from Taoduling, Jiangnan, known as the world's largest rich man, and Bailongyuan is the first private institution in Beijing to operate "flying money".

The Tang Dynasty had developed commerce, and Chang'an Street was full of merchants, coming and going from the south to the north. If a merchant wants to trade on Chang'an Street, he needs to bring a large number of coins into Beijing. The bigger the business, the more coins you carry. Similarly, after foreign businessmen ship goods in Beijing, they also have to transport the money home.

In the old days, merchants went out to do business and traveled between the mountains and mountains all year round. This method of coin transportation not only brought a lot of inconvenience to merchants, but also created opportunities for some green forest robbers to rob.

"Flying Money" came into being.

Chang'an has all over the country stationed in Beijing. Before going out to do business, the merchant handed over the coins to the local agency in exchange for a semi-lease certificate, which recorded the local place name and the number of coins, and the other half of the lease certificate was sent to the merchant's territory in Beijing. After the merchant arrives in Chang'an, he goes to the Jinju Institute with a half-copy rental certificate to verify, and the two half-copies match, and he can withdraw money to buy goods.

This lease is flying money.

In the same way, if a businessman wants to go home after settling the payment, he can hand over the coins to the Beijing Jinju Institute before leaving Beijing in exchange for a semi-joint lease certificate, and then complete the withdrawal of money in another place with the lease certificate after returning to his hometown.

The advantages of flying money are obvious, but the fly in the ointment is that it can only be local-to-local, and cannot be freely circulated and paid uniformly among the various places in Beijing. Sometimes, a certain Jinjin Institute in Beijing is short of cash, and the businessman needs the money urgently, so he can only wait.

The concert institutes in Beijing could have borrowed from each other, but many of them were in harmony on the surface and privately demolished each other. Coupled with the lack of clerical staff, it is impossible to solve the urgent needs of businessmen in a timely manner.

Some wealthy businessmen with a lot of money and a wealthy party smelled business opportunities and switched to business to make money. The first business name in Beijing to deal in flying money was "Blulongyuan".

In the early days of the popularity of flying money, the good and bad businesses that operated flying money were mixed.

Blum Yuan has branches all over the country, each branch has dozens of stores, footprints all over the country. In addition, Blum Yuan has a strong background and is rich enough to rival the country, and in a short period of time, it has realized that all branches across the country can be exchanged for flying money, which has greatly improved the popularity of Blum Yuan.

Within half a year, some businesses that were not doing well in flying money closed down one after another, and those that were struggling to survive took refuge in Blulongyuan.

The stronger the Tang Dynasty, the more Feiqian was respected by merchants, and Blum Yuan flourished, and the business went to the next level.

Seeing that the Blum Yuan family is dominant, no one can compete with it. The boss Tang Wanchun had a whim: to set up the "Flying Money Gang" to replace the Blum Yuan firm. The ambition of a generation of heroes is obvious, and the marching institutes in various places have quite a few complaints about Tang Wanchun's move.

Tang Wanchun does his own thing, he is known as the chief helmsman of the Feiqian Gang, the chief helmsman is located in his hometown Taoduling, and he leads the four major rudders in the east, west, north and south of the country.

The four major helmsmen are in charge of flying money all over the country, and their power and status are very important, and Tang Wanchun, the chief helmsman, does not dare to take the selection of the helmsmen lightly.

The Taoduling Ancient Road is famous far and wide, and traders from the north and south come and go among it. Everyone in Taoduling Ancient Town is a businessman. Tang Wanchun appointed four business-talented fellows to serve as the four major helmsmen of the east, west, north and south.

Tang Wanchun firmly believed that the old turtle could gather wealth, suppress disasters, and dispel evil, and he used the old turtle as the mascot of the Flying Money Gang. As a result, the East Turtle, the South Turtle, the West Turtle, and the North Turtle became synonymous with the four major helmsmen.

Tang Wanchun is not only the richest man in the world, but his high martial arts are also intimidating. The dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, and only hears its name but does not see its people on the rivers and lakes.

Tang Wanchun's mystery exists, and the four major rudder masters are known to passers-by.

Donggui owns a restaurant in Chang'an: Jiuchi. The world's best wine is none other than the wine pool on Chang'an Street. Donggui loves to drink with people, and has a good record of not losing a hundred wines. One of the famous moves in the capital was that the East Turtle and a fat, thin, and tall three heroes fought for a day and night, and the East Turtle lost by half a glass. Losing a jar of the world's unique liquor, the supreme "will enter the wine", Donggui had no intention of operating the wine pool, ran back to his hometown Taoduling, and built a winery.

The winery is famous, and it is said that the East Turtle is the god of wine in Taodu Ridge, but compared with Tang Wanchun, it is no different from seeing a big Wu, and the limelight is not as good as Tang Wanchun. Tang Wanchun's fame is unmatched; The business is so big that no one can match it.

Tang Wanchun invited Donggui to join the Feiqian Gang, entrusted him with an important task, and named him the helmsman of the East Branch.

The southern turtle is not simple, but it is famous. The silk printed and dyed by it is bright in color and rich in pattern, which is a must. Tang Wanchun recruits talents, looks at Maolu three times, is sincere, and the gold and stone are open. Nangui got involved in the Flying Money Gang and became the helmsman of Nanfen.

The value of the West Turtle should not be underestimated, and the famous owner of the fairy casino on Chang'an Street is making money every day. It is rumored that the gods come to the casino to gamble, leaving a mystery to win the world's gambling game, and gamblers are all eager to flock to it.

Xigui was originally a friend of Tang Wanchun, and his friends invited him, but it was inconvenient for Xigui to refuse, so he naturally became a member of the Feiqian Gang and became the helmsman of Shangxi.

The northern turtle is fond of smoking, likes to play with jade, is a first-class expert, and the biggest ability is to see through natural jadeite or fake jadeite at a glance.

The biggest achievement of the Northern Turtle was that Tang Wanchun asked him to identify a treasure: the peerless imperial jade, and the largest jeweler in the capital pledged it to the Feiqian Gang rudder on Chang'an Street in exchange for the flying money. Because of the priceless price, the account room did not dare to make a time, and sent two flying money to help the master speed up the whip overnight, day and night, to escort the imperial jade to the Jiangnan helm, and asked the chief helmsman Tang Wanchun to decide.

Tang Wanchun invited the northern turtle into the mansion.

The color of the imperial jadeite is natural, the luster is pleasant, and the northern turtle suddenly comes to the spirit. He first looked at its shape, distinguished its color, and judged the species and clarity of the imperial jadeite; Then listen to the sound, hang the imperial jade with silk thread, and tap it with an agate stick. Finally, taking a deep puff of smoke, and waiting for the smoke to drift past the Imperial Jade, the Northern Turtle came to the conclusion that this is a top-level fake that is more Imperial Jadeite than Imperial Jade!

Although the peerless emperor jadeite is a fake, the species, water, and color still have a strong visual impulse, and the heart of the northern turtle is captured.

The news reached Chang'an and alarmed Jingjie. Tang Wanchun was willing to pay for this fake imperial jade. He was generous, several times higher than the price of the fakes on the market, and the jewelers accepted them gloomily.

Tang Wanchun took the Northern Turtle under his command and gave the conditions: Flying Money to help the helmsman of the North Division, and send a top-level peerless emperor jade fake.

The northern turtle didn't even think about it, and he agreed to come down.

The four major rudders of the Flying Money Gang stood on top of each other, and the East Turtle, the South Turtle, the West Turtle, and the North Turtle became famous.

The name of the four turtles is very easy to confuse, and some people combine the life experience of the four rudder masters and call them wine turtles, color turtles, gambling turtles, and smoke turtles.

A wealthy businessman felt that the turtle was still difficult to read, so he pronounced the turtle as a homophonic ghost, which not only conformed to the main characteristics of the four major rudders, but also was full of fun. As a result, the eastern turtle, the southern turtle, the western turtle, and the northern turtle have become what people call drunkards, perverts, gamblers, and smokers......
