After pulling the little lady Lin to a side hall at the "Kunning Palace", he said, "Aunt Lin! Today in the main hall, Uligi has made many suggestions regarding the current circulation of silver, and this matter is of great importance to my Hechiti Division. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But he only knows a little bit about it, saying that he heard all this from you, I don't know if it is or not? ”

Bourhan did not hide it at all, and went straight to the point to explain the intention, but Lin Xiaoniang was a lot relieved. She smiled lightly, and walked to the side to pick up the teapot and pour tea for Burhan.

"Great Khan, please be seated! Quench your thirst with a sip of hot tea! ”

"Oh! Thank you, Aunt Lin. Out of politeness, Burhan also took a casual sip of tea. Well...? Today's tea seems to taste different? Where does Burhan know, now that Lin Xiaoniang's identity is extraordinary, she naturally no longer takes those brick teas as treasures, these are all new teas this year, and the natural tea fragrance is overflowing, which makes people want to stop. And Burhan doesn't drink much tea in this life, and in this life he drinks more brick tea milk tea, although this new tea can't taste anything, but it also feels very fresh, and it is inevitable to drink a few more sips.

While refilling the tea for Burhan, the little lady Lin began to narrate:

"That's right! It was the women of the people who told Lord Ulligi these things. As you know, when the women were in Ningxia Town, they used to do some small business to support their families. When I first arrived in the Hechiti Tribe, I also thought about returning to my old business, but it was because the items needed by the tribe were all purchased uniformly, and no one bought the things of the people's women at all, so I had to give up. ”

Speaking of this, Burhan smiled in his heart: Of course no one bought it? The people of the Hechiti tribe are already satisfied if they are well fed and clothed, and they do not enjoy life like the Central Plains. The main thing is that the grasslands are unpredictable, and today's wealth may be left tomorrow. As for the nobles, what they need, Little Lady Lin can't get it!

Burhan continued to drink his tea, while the little lady Lin stood aside and replied, "However, since these Han people came, things have taken a turn for the better. Most of them dragged their families to our Hechiti Department to beg for work, so that the whole family could live a good life. Due to the long distances, many families are in dire need of daily necessities. Therefore, the women had the courage to borrow some silver from the Queen Mother and started a small business. Who would have thought? The bigger and bigger the deal becomes, the more complete it becomes, and the more money is earned. In the last six months, the women's trading houses had very little money, but the warehouses were full of grain. ”

"Oh?" Burhan couldn't help but wonder, how could it be a warehouse full of grain? But after listening to Lin Xiaoniang's explanation, he understood the reason.

"Great Khan! Doesn't it feel incredible? But that's just the way it is. There was little silver, but life still had to be lived, and the Hermes-Epitek had to eat meat, wear furs, and make clothes out of wool. If you have no money, you can only pay with grain. And our firm, as the largest trading house in the Hechiti Division, can't we not do business? Over time, it was natural that the grain warehouse was full, and it was at that time that the women began to cooperate with Lord Uliji. The women sold the grain they had collected to Lord Ulji, who in turn gave the women two pieces of silver from the treasury. Later, even the treasury silver was gone, and the women wondered where all the money went. ”

Burhan laughed when he heard this: "Do you still need to think about this? Your business is so big, it's only natural that all the money will go into your pocket. ”

But Borkand was wrong, and the little lady Lin said, "Hehe! Sweat! Can words be said in this way, and they cannot be said in this way? ”

"Oh? Why is that? "Isn't that normal? Or I thought it wrong.

"Great Khan! The women thought so at first, but the women really didn't have much silver in their hands, and you still owe the women 300,000 taels of silver, the Great Khan? ”

Seeing that Little Lady Lin stretched out three pink fingers, Burhan felt a chill in his heart. I always thought that Hechi Ti was rich and never owed others a foreign debt of 300,000 taels of silver, and at the same time, he was also impressed by Lin Xiaoniang. Just from the calm tone in which she just said 300,000 taels of silver, it seems that this is nothing?

In this way, it seems that what Uligi said is true! originally thought that the silver would eventually flow into Lin Xiaoniang, but she didn't expect that she didn't have much, but became the biggest creditor in Burhan.

"According to Aunt Lin, all this silver has been earned by those speculative businessmen?"

Little Lady Lin nodded silently and refilled the tea for Burhan. Burhan felt that since she was able to analyze what she knew and tell it to Uligi, the intention behind this was probably to let herself know. This matter is directly related to her business, I'm afraid she already has a plan in her heart at this moment, right?

Burhan boldly asked, "Aunt Lin, don't sell Guanzi, you tell Uliji, that is, you want to borrow his mouth and tell me." Now there is no way to do it from top to bottom, please ask Aunt Lin for advice! ”

"Huh!" Little Lady Lin covered her mouth and let out a silver bell-like laugh, "Teach? What can I teach as a woman about this national event? However, after years of doing business, I also know some ways to deal with it. ”

"Tell me about it!" Burhan was anxious, but he abruptly surprised the beauty, such a tone is not pleasing to women. Fortunately, Burhan has realized it, and immediately changed his words, "Please also ask Aunt Lin to tell the truth, so that Burhan can refer to one or two." ”

At this moment, Borkand is like a white-faced scholar, where is the majesty of the Great Khan in the past? And what she said just now didn't seem to cause Lin Xiaoniang's dissatisfaction.

"The Great Khan is gracious!" She bowed and said, "Although the slave family is a woman's family, she also knows that there is a way to deal with everything. Open source is nothing more than minting coins and collecting taxes. ”

"Minting coins, collecting taxes?" This is the same as Aditya's words. "Aunt Lin, can you elaborate?"

Lin Xiaoniang nodded and continued: "The coinage is that I must have our own currency, whether it is silver or copper, only if it is minted by the Hechi Ti Department, then we will not suffer." Why did the dynasties strictly control the right to mint money? Isn't it because minting is actually the most lucrative business? In the case of silver, even if there is more of it, it will be sold out by merchants. Therefore, on the one hand, the Great Khan wanted to collect the silver, and he could use the silver to settle the transaction with the Ming court. On the other hand, silver stamps were issued to reduce the circulation of silver, or to prohibit the circulation of broken silver. And to prohibit silver from circulation, there must be something to replace it, and its credibility must be secured. From this, it can be seen that this thing must be more convenient than silver, and it is more convenient to carry and use than silver. Moreover, it must be able to be exchanged for cash at any time without depreciation, and the amount of issuance must be controllable. In addition, it should be anti-counterfeiting, waterproof, fireproof, and insect-proof, and the appearance should be exquisite, so that Baixin cherishes and likes to use. ”

Is Little Lady Lin hinting? Isn't that just a silver ticket? It's just a little more demanding than a silver ticket.

"As for the tax slaves, the Great Khan should also understand. Taxation is the foundation of the country, and the taxation of our Hechi Ti Department is extremely chaotic. There is nothing wrong with the peasants using grain to offset their taxes. However, the merchants also used goods to offset taxes, not to mention the quality of the goods, even these collected goods will eventually flow back into the commercial port. Moreover, the Great Khan also stipulated that taxes should only be paid when entering the city, but he did not know that the prosperity outside the city is far greater than that inside the city, which is already a different situation. ”

was criticized by Lin Xiaoniang for being incomplete, and Burhan felt blushing. Originally, he was to promote the development of industry and commerce, not only the tax rate is very low, but also there are many protective measures, which is one of the taxes in the city, so as to avoid the possibility of double taxation. Unexpectedly, it became the basis for businessmen to evade tax liability.

Probably seeing that Burhan was so embarrassed that he was embarrassed, Lin Xiaoniang couldn't bear it, and said sharply, "The merchant is profit-heavy and treacherous. ”

It's as if she's born out of it herself.

"On the one hand, the Great Khan can decree that in the future, the people's taxes will be paid with the money of our Hechi Ti Ministry. The people naturally sold their grain and skins in order to obtain the money, and the merchants had to have the money of the Red Tribe. In this way, the money will naturally circulate. In addition, in order to prevent merchants from avoiding taxes, checkpoints can be set up at various border intersections. Those who pay taxes will be given a road guide official certificate, and the road guide official certificate can be cleared. The businessman came to the Hechi Ti Department to make money, and I have only two ways to return to Daming, first, along the Wuyuan straight road through the Tumut Department, from Datong to enter the customs, you can set up a card in Wuyuan or Da Shetai to collect taxes. 2. Pass through Bayanhot, enter the customs from the mountain pass, and go to Ningxia Town. The slave family really couldn't think of any merchant who would take the risk of taking a detour to those inaccessible places for the sake of a tithe-ten tax. ”

Mrs. Lin completely grasped the psychology of businessmen, so Burhan was not afraid of these businessmen avoiding taxes. The method of the road guide is also very good, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of multiple tax payments.

Burhan didn't expect this little lady Lin to have such knowledge, she really didn't let her eyebrows go. Burhan said half-jokingly, "What Aunt Lin said is really surprising, such a problem makes me helpless from the top to the lord and the lower to the important ministers, but I didn't expect that in Aunt Lin's mouth, it was really so easy to solve, which really made those well-educated people ashamed." If Aunt Lin is willing, she might as well be a staff member under me? ”

"Huh!" Lin Xiaoniang laughed even more happily after hearing this, she stroked her lower abdomen and said, "The Great Khan is really good at laughing, how can there be a woman who has been an official since ancient times?" What's more, the slave family is only willing to be a businessman, and being an official is too tiring. ”

Since people are unwilling, Burhan no longer insists on it, in the final analysis, this is just a polite remark, if you really let a woman participate in the decision-making level, not to mention what the big men of the Hechiti Department think, even those Han officials will not agree, but in the future, when Burhan has absolute majesty, you might as well give it a try, so as to improve the social status of women.

After thinking about this, Burhan got up and left the side hall. He's got what he wants to know, and he's going to be left behind.

As soon as he came out of the side hall, he found that his stomach was uncomfortable. He also felt the urgency of urinating when he was in the Qinzheng Palace, because he was in a hurry to find Lin Xiaoniang to ask the reason, and slowly forgot about it. Coupled with the fact that he tasted the new tea vigorously, it was natural that he would be uncomfortable at this time. Ay! The most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty! If there was a next time, he would never drink so much tea again.

On the one hand, I can't hold back the urgency of urine, and on the other hand, the toilet has to be far away. Seeing that there was no one around, Burhan jumped into the garden, found a relatively large tree for cover, unbuttoned his robe, whistled and began to release the water with a rattle. It's probably because it's been held for too long, and the flow is obviously not good, and sometimes it's just ticking. Burhan knew that this was not the time to be in a hurry, and he still hummed a little song in extreme relaxation and enjoyment.

Suddenly, for some reason, Little Lady Lin hurriedly ran out and looked around at something. Because it is really winter, the garden also looks withered and empty, and Burhan is so big and a person, it is very eye-catching.

Little Lady Lin stepped forward and called, "Great Khan? ”

Burhan didn't think about it, and directly responded, "Huh? What's up? "Turn around at the same time and see who it is?

As soon as he turned around, he heard a high-pitched, shrill cry from a woman.

"Ahh Lin Xiaoniang hurriedly covered her face with her hands, and at the same time turned around, while silently reciting in her heart: Don't look at indecent things. At this time, Burhan felt that he was rude, not only to let a woman's family see his dragon roots, but most importantly, he was also doing that indecent thing. He also quickly turned around and asked embarrassedly:

"Lin... What's the matter with Aunt Lin? ”

Lin Xiaoniang handed over an object and said, "Ah! The golden sword of the Great Khan has fallen to me, and it was specially sent to the Great Khan. ”

The two of them were also some distance apart, and neither of them wanted to move any more at the moment, so it was not a way to stiffen like this, and Burhan said, "Oh! It's a golden sword! Aunt Lin will leave it with her mother, and I will go back and get it. ”

Saying this can be regarded as breaking the deadlock, Lin Xiaoniang quickly ran back to Kunning Palace with a golden knife in her arms and blushing. Only then did Burhan breathe a sigh of relief. However, no matter how much Burhan whistled in the future, it would not be easy to coax it with all his might. In the end, I had no choice but to flee back to my home with that uncomfortable energy.

As soon as he got home, he couldn't wait to get into the thatched house, and his wife was silent when he asked. It took about half an hour before I finally opened the sluice gate again to release water. "Whew!" Burhan breathed a sigh of relief, this feeling was really refreshing!

As soon as he finished untying his hands, he listened to the conversation of the woman outside the door, although there was a distance between them, but he could vaguely guess that it was Mrs. Lin who came, and experienced a short period of embarrassment, and Bulhan was indeed a little afraid of meeting her. Probably seeing that Burhan didn't come to retrieve the golden knife, Lin Xiaoniang specially sent it. This golden knife was not an ordinary object, but a symbol of the status of the Great Khan.

After a while, Naoyan Zhu Dan led Lin Xiaoniang in, and the two were still talking and laughing. Lin Xiaoniang looked around and asked, "Huh?" Why don't you see the Great Khan? Could it be that the Great Khan has not returned? ”

Naoyan Zhu Dan was also puzzled, as soon as the husband came back, he went into the thatched house, and it had been more than half an hour, and he had not come out. I sent a few waves of maids to serve and were blocked back, so I guess I'm still inside, right? When Mrs. Lin asked, I'm afraid there is something to look for him, so I can't say that the sweat is in the toilet, right?

She asked the maid vaguely, "The Great Khan is still inside?" She didn't say anything, and the maid was also a sensible person, so she immediately replied, "No! The Great Khan just came out, washed up for a while, and somehow walked into the study again, and the slaves and maids did not dare to disturb. ”

As the maids of the inner court, everyone has eyesight, otherwise they won't be able to do it for long.

Burhan had previously instructed that the study was a forbidden place in the home. Since Burhan entered the study, Naoyan Zhu Dan didn't dare to bother for half a minute. With a slightly sorry look, he said, "Aunt Lin! You see that the Great Khan is in the study now, and we can't disturb it. If you have something, just wait a while, and it will probably come out in a while. If it is not too important, you can trust the concubine body, and say that it is the same as the concubine body, and the concubine body will definitely return to the Great Khan truthfully. ”

"It's not a big deal." Since the Great Khan is not there, it is the same as Naoyan Zhu Dan. Immediately summoned the maid, only to see the maid holding the golden sword of the Great Khan came over and respectfully offered. Lin Xiaoniang said: "It's the same with you. The Great Khan dropped the golden knife to the Queen Mother, saying that he would take it later, but there was no trace, and I was afraid that the Great Khan would forget, so I sent it over. ”

"Oh! That's what happened! The Great Khan is also true, even the golden sword can fall elsewhere. Then he handed it over to the maid to take it away and keep it safe, and began to do the housework.

Their conversation was heard very well by Bulhan hiding behind the door of the study, and he finally left before he dared to come out.

Seeing her husband come out, she was going to talk about it, but she found that Burhan was hiding in the toilet again, so she could only shake her head in desperation. From the performance of Burhan and Lin Xiaoniang, as well as Bourhan's evasible behavior, it is not difficult to see that something must have happened between the two. Otherwise, Burhan's golden knife would not have been sent by her, and Burhan would not have deliberately hid in the study and not come out.

Naoyan Zhu Dan has already thought about it, even if the two of them really have something, she won't care. As a great khan, it is not up to her to decide how many women there are around her. Instead of being jealous, blaming, and disgusting and falling out of favor with Burhan, it is better to be generous, at least Burhan can be better psychologically indebted and be better to her. After figuring it out, it's nothing, and everything is still the same at home. Such a small episode can only go on here, and Burhan's mind is still a matter of money.
