Chapter Seventy-Six: Credibility

The knife and pen officials in the coupon room carefully tampered with, and outside the coupon room, in the large room where Dong Yi was located, dozens of clerks also wrote numbers on the right coupon. They're not tampering, they're rewriting, and the entire right ticket is blank.

Dong Yi, who thought about it for several days, finally came up with a way, since he couldn't enter the coupon room to tamper with the right coupon, he simply made a new right coupon, the official had the left coupon in his hand, made up a new number according to the left coupon, and then took the opportunity to enter the coupon room to replace the right coupon, which required a lot of time saving. As for how to lure Zhang Cang out of the coupon room, there is also a feasible strategy in a few days.

In the past two years, the situation of the upper plan and the report has become more and more severe - the Chu army counterattacked, and the current counties of the Qin State were only Longxi County, Beidi County, Neishi, Shang County, Sanchuan County, Hedong County, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, and Hanoi County. Then there are the newly occupied Zhao County, Qinghe County, Hejian County, and Hengshan County, Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County in the north, and the new Qinzhong County in Henan.

Among them, there are 21 counties in Longxi County. Fifteen counties in Northland County. There are forty-one counties in the inner history, because Shangluo and Shang counties of Shangyu were lost, only thirty-nine counties remained. Twenty-one counties in the upper county. Twenty-two counties of Sanchuan County. Nineteen counties of Hedong County. Twenty-one counties of Taiyuan County. Thirteen counties of Shangdang County. Nineteen districts of Hanoi County. Twenty-one counties of Zhao County. Four counties of Qinghe County. Ten counties in Hejian County. Twenty-two counties of Hengshan County. Twelve counties in Yunzhong County. Ten counties in Jiuyuan County. Thirty-four counties in Xinqinzhong County, Henan. These counties add up to a total of 293 counties.

Before the destruction of Zhao, Qin had a total of 281 counties. Under the counteroffensive of the Chu army, the six counties of Wuqian, Nanyang, Ba, Shu and Hanzhong were lost one after another, losing ninety-one counties; Because of the destruction of Zhao and the occupation of Henan, one hundred and thirteen counties were added, and the number of counties was twenty-two more than the original. It's just that among the counties that have increased, such as the twelve counties in Yunzhong, the ten counties in Jiuyuan, and the thirty-four counties in Henan, the number of households in the county is not to say 5,000, but 2,000 is difficult to maintain.

In history, 'Meng Tian drove 300,000 people north to Rongdi and collected Henan', and it was not the Xiongnu who drove out, but Rongdi, who settled and nomadized in Henan. The 300,000 Qin army was only tens of thousands, and most of them were migratory criminals and subordinate concubines. In this way, each of the 34 newly established counties in Henan could receive 8 or 9,000 people, and with the addition of Rong Di, who had not been expelled or captured, there were barely 10,000 people in one county.

There are no officials in the fifty-six counties of this outer land who want to go, and Rong Di is on the side of the ring, and once there is a war, people, property, cattle and horses will be lost; Even if there is no war, the people in the territory will be lost, and both will affect the upper accounting. According to the usual practice, the officials with the worst grades will be transferred to the worst counties, and as soon as the fifty-six counties outside Huawai are established, the county commanders are even more panicked, for fear that their evaluation rankings will fall behind the two hundred and fifty.

In the large room of the Zhisu Inner Officials' Mansion, nearly half of the right coupons had to be rewritten, but fortunately, dozens of scribes did it, and these right coupons were written in half an hour. After the ink dries, it is covered with a wooden check, tied with a thin rope, and finally sealed with mud. Then these right coupons are like lamb skewers, and they are placed on a wooden rack and baked over a fire to allow the mud to dry earlier.

The right coupon rewritten in the large room should be dried, and the right coupon written in the coupon room should also be dried. Two hours later, after the appearance of the new sealing mud was dried, Fu Qiu Bo went out to say goodbye, and the officials who had been paying attention to the movement of the coupon room immediately reported to Dong Yi. Thinking of what to do next, Dong Yi, who had been making money, couldn't help but pound his heart. Turning around and seeing hundreds of subordinates looking at him, he took a breath and spat out a word: "Okay." ”

"Yui!" A servant said yes and hurried out of the room. Half an hour later, the palace attendant dressed in soap appeared in the palace of the officials of Zhisu, he held three bronze runes, and before he arrived at the coupon room, he had already shouted in a sharp voice: "The king is urgently calling, where is Zhang Cang?" The king is urgently summoned, where is Zhang Cang ......"

"Why is it urgent?" Hearing that it was an urgent call, Dong Yi instantly lost color. Zhang Cang ate, drank, and Lazar was all in the coupon room, so he could only pretend to be a confessor and transfer him out of the coupon room by the king's order. When he was about to arrive at the palace, this pretended confessor would take the opportunity to disappear, and then the whole palace would not admit it, saying that Zhang Cang had made it up by mistake. The urgent call is absolutely impossible, and the urgent call has to run into the palace to sleep, and there is no chance of disappearing at all.

"Subordinates, subordinates ......" Yi Xuan, who planned this matter, also lost color on his face. Pretending to be a confessor and falsely proclaiming the king's order is a capital offense. He was about to go out to stop it, but Zhang Cang had already heard the sound and came out of the coupon room, and locked the coupon room when he came out.

The confessor showed the talisman, Zhang Cang saw that it was the third section and immediately followed the confessor out of the house, Yi Xuan wanted to stop it too late, he slapped one hand on the thigh, and said in horror: "How should this be?!" ”

"This right ticket... When? Behind Yi Xuan was the official holding the right ticket, the basket was poked big, and everyone didn't know what to do.

"What else? Pass on the order of my government, and order all the officials and scribes of the government to come here quickly! Dong Yi tried his best to shake his mind. For the sake of today, we can only do what needs to be done. After such an incident, there were officials who pleaded for mercy, otherwise the king would be angry, and the officials would not change their rankings after paying money, and the fate of their own people would be even worse.

Summoned the officials and scribes of the whole mansion to instruct, took advantage of this gap, opened the coupon room with a spare key, and replaced all the more than 100 right coupons in the wooden frame box, and then Dong Yi and Yi Xuan waited in horror for the court lieutenant to enter the palace and arrest people.

Dong Yishang could concentrate his breath, Yi Xuan couldn't sit still for a moment, he first sent someone to chase after the fake confessor and Zhang Cang, and then sent someone back to the house to explain to his family. Later, when I heard that Zhang Cangzhen had entered the palace, I thought that this must be entering the palace to report myself to the king, and I was so frightened that I wanted to run out of the palace of the officials in Zhisu and escape from the city. Dong Yi grabbed him and reprimanded him, and finally the two of them sat in the mansion together and waited for death.

From the Great Migration to the High Spring, and from the High Spring to the next Spring, the car is suspended. It was dark when the car was suspended in the summer, and there was no court lieutenant who came to the palace to get people in the dark, and Yi Xuan, who noticed something, patted his forehead full of sweat and asked, "Is it really the king's urgent call?" ”

"If it weren't for the king's urgent summons, I would have been in prison as soon as possible." Dong Yi's vest was also full of sweat. Then he said a little strangely: "Where is the false confessor?" ”

It is not known whether the hypocrisy took the money and ran away because of timidity, or whether he did not go out at all. In Qutai Palace, like Yixuan, Zhang Cang's whole body was also soaked with sweat. He really wanted to go back to the house as soon as possible to guard the coupon room, but the messages from the beam came one after another, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.

At first, it was said that Wei would ban trade and prohibit merchants from buying Qin goods with gold and silver, and then announced that gold and silver would be banned from entering Qin. This countermeasure has been considered beforehand. The gold and silver were in the hands of the Kanto merchants, and whether they were sold or not was in the Kanto Shikoku, and there was no way for them to sell it, but they didn't expect that in just a few days, the countermeasures would come out.

This may be related to King Jing's arrival in Daliang, it is reported that the Qi people once said that King Jing has the spirit of a merchant and the art of a merchant, and sure enough. It is not possible to sell corn cloth, and the only way to do it is to raise the price of gold again, so that one gold is worth 30,000 and a half taels. When Zhang Cangzheng persuaded Zhao Zheng to agree, before dark, news came from Daliang's side again: the price of Qin and half taels fell sharply.

Hearing this news, Zhang Cang's legs and stomach began to twitch, and the person was also a little unstable. Zhao Zheng on the throne still didn't care, "The widow allowed a gold to exchange money is to exchange money, why is Zhang Qing at a loss?" ”

"Minister......" Zhang Cang smiled bitterly, he said: "The king's life can indeed determine the price of money, but the king's life cannot determine the price of all things. ”

The monarch's power is supreme, Zhang Cangzhi obviously wants to refute this, Prime Minister Wang Xuan's eyes immediately contracted, he wanted to warn but it was not good to warn, Zhao Gao on Zhao Zheng's side was about to reprimand him for being bold, Zhao Zheng's hand was slightly raised, and Zhao Gao was stopped.

Zhang Cang had no master, he continued: "King Jing established the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank, and in addition to the Four Kingdoms Gold Bank, there are the Ziqian Family Guild and the Daliang Money Market, and the price of ten thousand dollars in the world is determined by the discussion of these two. ”

"Ten thousand dollars have a price?" Zhao Zheng was curious about Zhang Cang's words, and he didn't understand how the Ziqian Family Guild and Daliang Qian City negotiated the price of 10,000 yuan.

"One gold can be exchanged for eighteen thousand five hundred and thirty and a half taels, which is the price of gold. On the contrary, 18,530 taels can be exchanged for one gold, Jing money can be exchanged for one gold, and 150,000 Zhao money can be exchanged for one gold, all of which are one gold, and the money of Daqin, Jingren, Zhao, Wei, and Qi are all different. ”

"In this way, the Ziqian family and the Daliang Qian City are like the lives of widows, and they say that one gold is exchanged for Daqin and a half taels, which is geometry?" Zhao Zheng seemed to understand a little.

"Definitely." Dachu News has a business version, and Zhang Cang has watched it for several years without seeing it in vain. "The Ziqian Family Guild and the Daliang Qian Market never say that one gold is exchanged for half a tael of Daqin, and they only evaluate the credibility of all countries in the world, big businessmen in the world, and giants."

"Reputation?" Zhao Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "The world has been cheating me for a long time, what reputation can I evaluate?" ”

"The world has been deceiving me for a long time, but even my Great Qin has to buy and sell. If there is a deal, there will be credibility, and if there is credibility, there will be superiority, and what they discuss is to agree on the credibility of each country and each businessman. Zhang Cang laboriously explained, this is not a difficult concept to understand, once understood, it is all understood.

"There are nine levels of hierarchy. The highest level is A, A, A, B, C, B The first one is said to be credible; Person B is said to be half-convinced; C, it is said that it is not credible. ”

"Who am I? Propy? "Zhang Cang is talking about the credit rating system of later generations, and when Zhao Zheng thinks of Qin State, he naturally feels that it is C.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Cang's answer was unexpected.

"B B? Hahahaha...... "There are times when the Qin State is overestimated, Zhao Zheng laughed.

This was a misunderstanding on his part. Business is business, the deceit in the battlefield politics is not the same as the treachery in the shopping mall, the battlefield politics can determine the winner or loser in one fell swoop by deceit, the shopping mall is not, the business is long-lasting, and the untrustworthy will be automatically driven away once they find out, and there is no next time.

"But today it's C-C." Zhang Cang said again: "The money market saw that my Daqin's reputation plummeted, and the price of half a tael also plummeted,"
