When Han Xin saw the drifting mother and the fat businessman, he was arguing a little red-faced, and hurriedly said to Jiang Tao: "Keep arguing, watch the suspense to do it!" Let's go over and persuade! ”

Jiang Tao nodded, and walked with Han Xin to her mother and the merchant.

Seeing Han Xin approaching, Piao's mother hurriedly took a five-tael coin, handed it to Han Xin, and said: "Wang Sun, you are a knowledgeable person, come and comment on it, how can the merchant pay me this money?" ”

The fat merchant's name is Wang Shi. He raised his eyelids, and when he saw that it was Han Xin, who was often hanging out in Huaiyin County, he sneered and said, "It turned out to be Han Xin!" It's useless for you to judge!

The Second Emperor issued a summons for 'reinstatement of money' throughout the country, and anyone who refused to accept it would be punished!

Actually, Drifting Mother, you also have to understand how difficult it is for us businessmen! Why am I willing to take this new half tael of less than 12 baht? However, there is no way! ”

Jiang Tao blushed angrily, and just wanted to go up and reason with this middle-aged fat businessman, Han Xin grabbed her arm and signaled Jiang Tao with his eyes not to be impulsive......

Han Xin was not impulsive, it was not because of his cowardice, but because he knew that it was indeed as the merchant said.

Before the crossing, when he read the "Historical Records", he remembered: "(The First Emperor) in October of the thirty-seventh year, the emperor's Huiji, Lang Evil, and the sand dunes collapsed. Zihu Haili was the second emperor. Kill Meng Tian, Dao Jiuyuan entered. Re-bank money. ”

The most important thing is that the last three words, "Fuxing Money", ------- II ordered that the "new" half-tael bronze coin, which was much lighter than the original 12 baht each, was re-minted.

Why is that?

Han Xin knew that Qin II Hu Hai was going to bury Qin Shi Huang with unprecedented pomp and circumstance in order to consolidate his position as his heir.

However, due to the continuous large-scale work of Qin Shi Huang in his later years, the savings were exhausted, the treasury was empty, and the financial difficulties made it impossible for Qin II to deal with extremely extravagant funerals, and the money was insufficient.

If you cast money according to the previous "heavy as the text" money, the copper material is insufficient; I had to make another money model, change the layout, recast the light money, and mint the less than half a tael, and the face value of this 'new money' remained unchanged to replace the full value of the half tael.

In short, the bronze raw material that could be minted for one and a half taels was even slightly more than two coins in the second century, so as to increase the country's fiscal revenue......

This kind of light money is not accepted by the people, and it is difficult to circulate, so Qin II wants to reiterate the decree of [Fuxing money], explaining that this kind of weight reduction money is also minted by the state, and the same value as the previous half tael coin, is protected by the national law, and the people are not allowed to refuse to use it......

Han Xin sighed in his heart: Hu Hai, the reigning emperor of Qin II at this time, actually used the so-called currency devaluation method in later generations to quietly loot the people's wealth! This is only for the current interests!

Hu Hai, you, a faint monarch who is one year younger than me Han Xin, really don't care about the hardships of the Li people, and you really respond to the words of later generations------ you won't die if you don't do it......

After Han Xin quickly thought of this, he smiled and said, "Drifting Mother, I really don't blame Shang Jia for this matter. Since the second emperor has issued the decree of [resumption of money], then, after receiving this money, we can also spend it. Why bother here? ”

Wang Shi, a fat merchant, couldn't believe his ears, he used to see Han Xin often wandering around the market in Huaiyin County with a sword in his arms, and never took the initiative to speak when he saw Ren Muna, now why did he Han Xin seem to be a different person?

After hearing Han Xin's words, Drifting Mother said in disbelief: "This money is so light, in this bazaar, can it still be used as much as the original 12 baht and a half taels?" ”

After Jiang Tao heard Han Xin say that, she said: "Mother, since Brother Wangsun Han has said so, then this new money should also be able to be spent!" ”

The drifting mother nodded, and reluctantly strung the 100 new half taels with a fine hemp rope from the square hole in the middle......

The merchant Wang Shi saw that after Han Xin's persuasion, Drifting Mother finally stopped worrying with him about the new money in the salary, and he smiled proudly at Han Xin.

Han Xin also smiled at the fat merchant, thinking: When I make a machine for rinsing silk wool, you will feel good......

At this time, Piao's mother said to Jiang Tao: "Since Wang Sun is going to our house in the afternoon, let's go to the bazaar, weigh some meat back, and leave Wang Sun to eat together at dinner!" ”

When Jiang Tao heard her mother say this, a happy expression immediately appeared on her face, and she hurriedly said, "That's very good!" Mother, our family hasn't known the taste of meat for months. ”

Han Xin hurriedly said, "There's no need to break the bank. ”

However, Drifting Mother and Jiang Tao insisted on going to the market to buy meat, and Han Xin had no choice but to follow Jiang Tao and Drifting Mother.

Jiang Tao hurriedly walked in front, followed by Han Xin and Drifting Mother, and came to the center of the market.

Han Xin saw that in the market in Huaiyin County, there were still many vendors selling various goods, and the layout of this commercial street was still very organized, such as the shops that bought meat were all adjacent to each other. Because of the memories of the original owner of his body, he knew that he had often wandered around this bazaar before, in order to get a glimpse of the world's forms and news from the most crowded bazaar......

Jiang Tao walked to one of the meat stalls in the row, stopped, turned back, and beckoned Han Xin and her mother to come over and pick the meat from the stall together.

Han Xin was some distance away, and he saw that there were three stalls selling meat in this row, and on the long wooden table half a foot high from the ground, there were big headless dogs with skinned skins, and the dog's head, which was a little bloody, was hung on the wooden pillar with a disguise......

Han Xin frowned.

However, he knew that Qin Shi had a habit of eating dog meat, such as the famous Fan Hao, who was originally a butcher who killed dogs and sold meat.

At that time, cattle and horses, which were scarce livestock, would be slaughtered except during the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, and then their meat would be given to important people who were eye-catching...... Therefore, not to mention the Li people, even the county magistrate has no right to eat beef and horse meat. If the Lebanese kill their own cattle, it is a crime.

Then, from the expensive to the cheap mutton, pork, dog meat......

"Girl, come and buy my meat, I can weigh it for you cheaply!" The voice of a young butcher reached Han Xin's ears.

Han Xin saw that another young man selling dog meat not far from the stall where Jiang Tao's mother and daughter were buying meat looked at Jiang Tao in a daze, looking obscene......

Fortunately, Jiang Tao didn't answer the young butcher over there......

Han Xin walked to the stall and blocked the young butcher who was about to drool in a daze......

The young butcher looked up and saw that he knew Han Xin, a ruined man who often wandered around the bazaar with a sword in his arms, and he scolded angrily:

"Han Xin, get out of here!"

Han Xin was unhappy when he looked at him, and replied: "Fa... Gram... Oil! ”
