Fan Shaobai sighed and said, "Could it be that your purpose is not just to make them reduce the price?" ”

Li Qi said: "Of course not, if it is just a price reduction, the people will be satisfied, but as an economic envoy, I naturally have to focus on the overall situation, so I have to let them come to me." ”

Yu Junjie said: "Then if they really reduce the price, what are the economic envoys going to do?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "If they want to reduce the price, they must be reduced to about 200 Wen, otherwise they will not be able to sell, then I will directly give them all the round, part of the rest of the restaurant support, the rest of the price is lower than their price to continue to sell outside, this money I still lose, and there are dozens of restaurants behind me, they buy, I will collect, they drop, I will follow the drop of a penny, anyway, I don't make money by buying rice, my business is still making money, they are different, the price of rice fell by a penny, they all have to peel off the skin." Hmph, dragging a batch of old rice, and dare to be arrogant in front of me, I see how you die. ”

When a few people heard this, they secretly said that this economic envoy looks delicate and handsome, and he is kind, but when it comes to doing business, it really costs people's lives

Hangzhou.

Soon after Qin Hui was released from prison, another batch of tabloids fell from the sky, however, this time the content of the tabloids was diametrically opposed to the previous two times, and the content was all about Li Qi's return to the post of economic envoy, Qin Hui's release from prison, and the reactivation of the new law by the imperial court.

On the second day of the tabloids, the stoppages started again, the construction crews returned, the stores were all opened, and they became orderly again. But instead of decreasing, the number of people on the streets increased suddenly, but this time they were not making trouble, but celebrating.

This is a once-in-a-century victory for the people of Jiangnan, and it is the first time that they have defeated the high-ranking scholars, which they have never dared to imagine before, but they really did it this time.

In addition, after this incident, they also know a lot about the new law, because this period of riddles, everyone has nothing to do, and they are talking about the benefits of the new law together, so whether they are merchants, scholars, farmers, or craftsmen, they all know everything about it, and they also know how much benefit the new law will bring to themselves.

A slightly high-grade silk shop in Hangzhou has welcomed a group of special guests today.

The shopkeeper saw that these guests were all dressed luxuriously, and he didn't dare to let the guys greet them, so he personally greeted them, and said, "A few guest officers, what do you need, what do you need in my store?" ”

The leader didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said in an authentic Tokyo accent: "Are you the shopkeeper of this store?" ”

A look of surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, yes, a few distinguished guests are from Tokyo, right?" ”

The man nodded, "Yes, how many more goods do you have in this store?" ”

This stunned the shopkeeper, and said cautiously: "Please forgive me for being old and stupid, I don't know what the guest officer means by this?" ”

Another person said anxiously: "You don't need to ask, my eldest brother asked this, naturally he wanted to buy all the goods in your store." ”

"What?"

The shopkeeper's jaw was about to drop, and he said with a trembling mouth: "So-all? ”

The leader nodded, "Yes, all of them." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned.

The latter exclaimed, "How? Are you afraid we don't have any money? So saying, he shouted outside, "Bring all the money in." ”

Knock knock!

I saw more than a dozen big men walking in with four large wooden boxes in thick and round bamboo tubes.

"Open."

"Yes."

Bang Bang Bang!

But when I saw the copper coins in the four wooden boxes, one by one, a tempting smell of "copper smell" exploded.

Hunger!

The shopkeeper's expression was extremely hungry at this time, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen so many copper coins, his eyes were staring at those copper coins, he only felt hot all over, and he couldn't help but pull his collar, as if he was a little breathless.

The man at the head opened the paper fan and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, is it enough?" If it is not enough, I will command some more. ”

"Enoughβ€”enough."

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, suddenly straightened his back, and shouted, "Come on, come on, hurry up and take out all the silk cloth for me." ”

This roar can be described as hysteria.

The guests looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths invariably showed a strange smile.

Almost at the same time, the largest paper shop in Hangzhou also ushered in a group of merchants who spoke an authentic Tokyo accent, and the process of the previous silk shop was no different, but also to buy all the goods, but also a few cars of copper coins, the shopkeeper was also stunned.

Not only that, but within these three days, the shops that were slightly famous in Hangzhou, whether they sold ink or wood, were bought out, and the currency used was all copper coins.

This group of mysterious and heroic Tokyo merchants immediately attracted strong attention, and the people of Hangzhou began to talk about this group of merchants, but no one could figure out what was going on?

It wasn't until seven years later that a businessman from Suzhou was having dinner in a restaurant when he heard everyone talking about it, and he broke the mystery in one sentence.

It turned out that as early as a few days ago, Suzhou also came to a group of merchants from the capital, and the situation in Hangzhou is exactly the same, which makes the people of Suzhou also see flowers in the fog.

Within a few days, the inspector led the army to Suzhou to investigate and deal with corrupt officials, and there was an official named Ouyang Che beside him, when he went to the restaurant to drink, he finally said the reason, according to him, it was not long ago that the imperial court found a large number of silver mines in the north, however, in order to reformulate the new order, the economic envoy took silver as the main currency to make up for the lack of copper mines, and the emperor had given permission, so the merchants in the capital were afraid that the copper money would be replaced by silver, So he hurriedly exchanged the copper money for goods.

The Suzhou businessman also said that this official named Ouyang Che is the confidant of the economic envoy, and this news will never be wrong, and now a large number of copper coins in Suzhou are pouring into the market every day, and they have begun to flood.

This news soon spread throughout the city of Hangzhou, and the people of Hangzhou suddenly realized, and remembered that Zuixianju, Hongwan Gambling House, Jade Xuan, and Keju Alliance had also begun to use a large amount of copper money to buy materials needed for the project in recent years. Now the people are even more sure that there will be no mistake in this news.

As in the case of Suzhou, Hangzhou began to pour out a large amount of money, and the economy grew by leaps and bounds, and when RI's sales reached the peak in the last three years, it became a shortage of goods from the very beginning of the shortage of money.

Almost in just a few days, the news spread all over Jiangnan, and the currency crisis in Jiangnan was quietly alleviated

"It's finally over."

In the backyard of the Hangzhou Mansion, Bai Qiannuo sat on the swing, looking at the letter sent by Li Qi, and a tired but happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Yi, who was sitting opposite her, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yes, a qiΔ“ is just like the calculation of the economy, the slightest error, just by a word, can completely subvert a qiΔ“, what a means." Hehe, I now admire the economic envoy Wufu to the ground, even if he says that the sun will not rise again, I'm afraid I will believe it. ”

Bai Qiannuo smiled: "I have long been like this. ”

Zheng Yi laughed, and then said solemnly: "But then again, this Qin Xuezheng really has some means, and in a few days, the Jiangnan crisis was resolved, no wonder how the economic envoy values him." ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "Of course, the eldest brother never uses mediocre people." ”

"Haha-I seem to hear someone talking about Qin."

With a burst of hearty laughter, I saw Qin Hui and Han Shizhong walking in.

"Inspector."

Zheng Yi and Bai Qiannuo turned their heads to look, stunned, and exclaimed in unison.

Qin Hui stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Governor Zheng, White Lady, don't come unharmed." ”

It turned out that as early as a few years ago, Zheng Yi had been promoted from the general sentence to the prefect of Hangzhou, as for the original prefect of Hangzhou, because of suspicion of corruption, he had been imprisoned, and his comrades were all arrested by Zheng Yi on the first day he took office, the Zheng family plus the Bai family, even if Qin Hui did not come, the power can be imagined, and it is more than enough to deal with a few corrupt officials.

Zheng and Bai, who reacted, hurriedly got up and bowed to Qin Hui.

Qin Hui introduced Han Shizhong to the two of them.

Zheng Yi said with a smile: "General Han's prestige, Zheng Yi has heard about it a few years ago. ”

Han Shizhong haha: "Where, where, Zheng Jiajilang and Tokyo's second talented girl, that's like thunder." ”

A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and sat down around the stone table in the middle, Zheng Yi said curiously: "Inspector, why did you come so quickly?" ”

Qin Hui laughed and said: "Since the victory of the economic envoy, I don't have to investigate everywhere I go, and many people outside the city have come to complain to me, which has helped me a lot, plus General Han is like a bamboo, and those grass cowards are really vulnerable in front of General Han, so I will come half a month earlier than originally expected, because Chen Dong and Ouyang still have to deal with the aftermath, and it will take a while to come." ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded with a smile and said, "The patrol envoy has solved the currency crisis in Jiangnan with one plan, and Qi Niang is very impressed. ”

Qin Hui waved his hand and said: "I learned this from the economic envoys, since this remark can defeat those scholars, then it will definitely be able to solve the currency crisis, I just follow the rules, it is not worth mentioning." Moreover, this is also a stopgap measure, if it cannot be fundamentally resolved, there is still a chance for the recurrence of this currency crisis. ”

Bai Qiannuo nodded slightly.

Qin Hui said again: "I have already sent someone to tell the adults what happened here, and it is still up to the adults to decide." Oh, another reason why I came to Hangzhou was that the economic envoy sent me another letter, which mentioned a new legal system, and my lord said that although the imperial court had not yet decided, we could take precautions and publicize this new law first. ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter and handed it to Zheng Yi, and said: "Also, I have come all the way, killed too many officials, and led to the emptiness of Jiangnan officialdom. ”

Bai Qiannuo immediately reacted and said, "Big brother's move is to help the reader rehabilitate." In fact, in this incident, many children from poor families showed their talents, and their articles were also sought after by the people, and now they have become famous, I think they can use them. ”

Qin Hui ha: "The idea of the White Lady really coincides with the adult, the adult said, this time we will use the system of people's voting and select officials below the lord's book." ”

Bai Qiannuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "This-really? ”

Zheng Yi handed over the letter and said, "You can understand it by reading it yourself." ”

Bai Qiannuo hurriedly took the letter and read it. Zheng Yi said incredulously: "I can't imagine that the imperial court can agree to use the people to elect officials, this is really unprecedented, I can't even think of it." ”

Qin Hui said: "The imperial court is now difficult to ride a tiger, and it is not enough to kill corrupt officials to make the people angry, but if you kill too much, then you must immediately find someone to fill it, otherwise the official office will be paralyzed, what is faster than the local selection of materials, so that it can better tell the people, the imperial court still attaches great importance to scholars, and they are only temporarily hired, and they cannot be regarded as official, so the imperial court will naturally not object." In the words of adults, it is an extraordinary time, and it is treated very much. ”

Bai Qiannuo raised his head and said: "Not only that, if this regular closing is properly implemented, it will benefit the people of the entire Jiangnan." ”

Qin Hui said: "So, we still have a long way to go, and this matter has just begun today!" (To be continued.) )
