CHAPTER XX: Two years
The afternoon sun was a little dazzling, and Cheng Ming was lying on the rocking chair, shaking and closing his eyes to recuperate.
It's been three months since the time flashed, and with the spread of the money gang's power, the golden houses are also all over the place.
Each state capital and county has at least one golden house, and some of the staff are from the Money Gang, some are from the folk tooth shop, and some are from Qingfeng Village.
Shangguan Jinhong is really a good businessman, he never bluffs, and he doesn't disdain to use any means. If you say it, it must be at the psychological critical point of the opponent.
Cheng Ming worked hard to produce gold, and money helped to influence and deterrence, and simply obtained more than twice the profit of Cheng Ming.
If it were a normal person, he would never agree to such a condition.
Fortunately, Cheng Ming is not among them, gold and silver are not as valuable as chicken thigh meat to him, and it is not worth caring about at all.
It is undeniable that Shangguan Jinhong is a hero, he has no money in his heart, no beauty, only power, and he can give up everything for the sake of power.
The Golden House, an unprecedented nationwide networked bank, has been part of his power since the moment it appeared.
He is an extremely intelligent person, so if he understands the huge profits of the treasure money, he will naturally understand the power of the Golden House.
He has come to see the Golden House as part of his own power, and will not allow others to destroy it.
For this, Cheng Ming is happy to see it.
He only cared about the mission, and if the Brinton Woods system could be established through the Golden House, it didn't matter if all of this was given to him.
Now the uncle of the Money Gang goes out in style, and he throws out banknotes directly.
Whether the shopkeeper is happy or not, he has to take it. Then turn around and go to the Golden House to exchange for gold.
Very few banknotes circulate outside.
After all, the treasure banknotes are a lesson from the past, so it's hard to believe these colorful papers.
Cheng Ming thought of some methods, but it didn't work much. On the contrary, on the other side of Qingfeng Village, the salt industry is prevalent, and after the demand must pay for money, there are many merchants who put gold in exchange for money.
Today's Qingfeng Village is full of majesty, and the flag is planted all over the square area.
Taking the old nest as the origin, more than 300 cottages in all directions are looking at Qingfeng Village.
Its strong record makes all the heroes of the green forest admire, and every three or five there are heroes with the number of rivers and lakes, and they go up the mountain to join the gang, and the scale has expanded more than ten times.
I heard that the incident of the plum blossom thief has gone to the Shaolin Temple.
Li Xunhuan, A Fei, Lin Xian'er, Bai Xiaosheng, Yi Wai and a group of monks got together, changing scenes like butterflies wearing flowers, and staged a good show.
In the past three months, Li Xunhuan has sent several letters, all of which are to explain that there is no book of Mercy Flower Treasures, and then ask Cheng Ming to open the cage.
Every time, Cheng Ming only replied with three words: Sun Huozi.
Then ignore it and throw the matter aside.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked over, bowed slightly, and said, "Master, the shopkeeper of the oil and salt shop sent someone over to pass on a message, saying that the matter is done!" ”
Cheng Ming asked, "When?" ”
"Half a month later!" The housekeeper replied: "He said that your lordship is white, and you have already ascended to the sky when you operate to the county magistrate, and if you want to go further, you have to wait at least three years." ”
Cheng Ming smiled and said: "These bastards, 10,000 taels of gold will buy a magistrate?" ”
"They also know it's a bit too much, so you can take your pick!"
"Oh, that's good, just the county of Xingyunzhuang, I like that place!" Cheng Ming touched his chin and said with an evil smile: "That's a whirlpool eye, it won't be long before another group of people from the rivers and lakes have to be stirred in." ”
----
Autumn is high and cool, and the leaves are Xiaoxiao,
At the end of the street is a huge mansion where rich and noble families live.
was originally a famous hero on the rivers and lakes, but more than a year ago, the owner of the house suddenly suffered an accident and was involved in an inexplicable turmoil.
Later, the two vermilion lacquer doors were never opened, the vermilion lacquer on the doors had peeled off, and the copper rings had grown green rust.
No human voices can be heard in the high walls, and occasionally autumn insects whisper, birds chirp, but it shows the loneliness of the house.
There is a small alley on the back wall, there is a small chicken feather shop in the lane, set up four or five tables, buy some shoddy food, and set up three or five simple guest rooms in the back, and occasionally come to the people who do not dislike it, and will also live here for a night, so that the shopkeeper Sun Huozi can earn two dollars.
Sun Huozi has made a friend more than a year this year, but he doesn't know his name, but he only knows that he is a drunken cat.
This person has not taken a step since he stepped into the shop more than a year ago.
When he got up in the morning, he directly occupied a table, asked for two steamed buns, a plate of beef, and seven pots of wine, and then drank it slowly, while fiddling with a piece of wood with a knife.
Sun Huozi guessed that he was carving, but he didn't find out what he carved for more than a year, but he felt that the lines were beautiful and a little eye-catching.
When the seven pots of wine were drunk and it was dark on time, the drunken cat would ask for a few more pots of wine and take them back to the room to drink, and when it came out at dawn, he would hand over the seven empty pots at one time.
He is a strange person, and the owner of the back house is also a strange person, because he is obviously the owner of the yard, but he lives in a cage, and sometimes invites people to come to the door and buy some furniture in exchange for silver for two days, and always sees a young master who is locked in a cage come forward to receive him.
The young master has elegant manners, good conversation, and a clean body, but he likes to stay in the cage, which makes many people puzzled.
The county magistrate of this county is also a strange person.
Instead of scavenging for money below, he would take out the money from time to time and hold some messy activities, and those who did well could get some beautiful pieces of paper.
These pieces of paper are worth a lot of money, and they can't be exchanged for gold.
This is still the second, when the county magistrate issued that order, the entire county, banknotes quietly circulated.
[Use banknotes to buy and sell, free of charge!] 】
For the common people, this is joy from heaven!
The countrymen took advantage of it, and it was inevitable that they would show off to their friends, and the news spread all over the square without realizing it.
For a period of time, there was often a small sedan chair carried by the official into the yamen, and I heard that it was the county official of the surrounding county, as well as the prefect of the state capital.
No one knows what they are coming for, only that after each county official leaves, there will be a silent additional thread of circulating banknotes.
Whether it is a businessman from the south to the north, or a hero who runs a boat and a horse, the golden house is always indispensable between words.
After a long time, the common people also knew that this kind of exquisite piece of paper could really be used as silver, and as long as there was a golden house, it could be used.
Many people were happy, thinking that they had been facilitated, while others were angry because they had to exchange their gold for useless pieces of paper.
