Chapter 68: Good People and Good Deeds
Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "So, I have made some careful arrangements on the gold and silver coins, and because of the unique color and softness of the gold coins, whether they are mixed with silver or copper, they can be clearly seen." And the gold coins are rarely used by ordinary people, most of them are used by rich and powerful people, so there is no need to worry about gold coins being faked;
Silver coins, on the other hand, are different because they have copper and lead, which are similar in color and weight to silver, making them easy to counterfeit. So I told Your Majesty that the original Sassanid Persia and Byzantium, where the king's head was printed on their gold and silver coins, were the same for us, and Your Majesty agreed. ”
"Printing the head of the saint on the gold and silver coins can prevent the magnates from melting the silver coins for counterfeiting?" Li Qi still didn't understand.
"You think, Datang has always been short of silver, and silver is only in the hands of me and Anxi Jun, and the only way they want to mint fake silver coins is to melt real silver coins. You can't melt down the few pieces of silverware you have in your house with exquisite styles and intricate patterns, and that would be a big loss, wouldn't you? ”
Li Qi nodded, and Xiao Quzhi whispered in his ear: "Then when they melted the silver coins, didn't they melt the head of your saint grandfather?" Grasp this great disrespect, and you can cure their sins! When a large number of gold and silver coins were minted and the world was ready to put them into circulation, I pretended to think of this problem suddenly, and ran to tell Your Majesty, do you think Your Majesty will agree? If there are ministers who object, grasping this can also leave them speechless. ”
"Your Majesty will definitely agree, and the minister has nothing to say, Master, you are so calculating." Li Qi thought to himself, the master is the master in the end, plan and then act, and everything has a backhand.
When Master proposed this method, His Majesty, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and others definitely agreed without thinking so much, and it was too late to oppose it when they discovered the mystery. It has been announced to the world, and the gold and silver coins will be issued in two or three days, can it still be re-molded in two or three days, and the coins will be re-minted in the furnace?
Xiao Quzhi continued: "There is another aspect, silver coins have the characteristic of being able to blow, whether it is true or false, and ordinary people can identify it as soon as they blow it. And a silver coin is worth a lot, how can the people be careless and careful? When the time comes, we will come up with a few ways to identify them, and use notices and verbal instructions to make everyone who uses gold and silver coins known.
This can not only improve the image of gold and silver coins, so that the people can rest assured and trust, but also mobilize everyone to resist and refuse to accept fake money. You think, on the one hand, if you fake money, you have to kill your head, you have to raid your home, and you have to be exiled; On the one hand, the people refused to accept the fake money. When the time comes, catch a few, kill a few, who will do such a loss-making and risky thing?
You are a very smart man. What is lacking is a lack of understanding of people's hearts, and doing things too impulsively and directly. You must know that although you have good intentions in many things, if you don't know the way and means, it will backfire.
In the future, whenever you want to do something, you must first think about it involving the psychology of all people, and for some bad people, you might as well think of them as dark and vicious; Then think about it, right? If going straight to the front doesn't work, take a detour from the side.
If you can't do something seriously, don't do it hard, but save yourself first and accumulate strength, and then clean up the mess when you have the strength. In short, everything must be planned before it is acted! If you can't make up your mind about some facts, just ask me, Master can always protect you. ”
At this moment, Li Qi admired Xiao Quai's illness even more, but more than admiration, he was moved. He could feel that Xiao Quzhi was treating him wholeheartedly, not only doing his best in teaching martial arts, but also teaching his knowledge, and almost everything was hidden from himself, and he took many things with him and taught him hand in hand. Now he patiently teaches himself the truth of doing things, which is clearly to see the weakness of his character and want to protect himself.
He grew up so big, no one has ever cared for and loved himself so wholeheartedly, his aunt died very early, his father only knows sighs in the East Palace every day, and his eldest brother Li Shu, the king of Guangping, although he is friendly and upright, but his character is actually very indecisive and has no strategy.
Only the master, not only has unsurpassed ability, but also knows everything, and his strategy is also unparalleled, and he has always patiently taught himself the truth of doing things. How can I be, and how fortunate I am to be able to be treated and cared for by the master, a disciple of the immortal family?
Li Qi used to be the most outstanding among the hundred imperial grandchildren, and he was quite complacent; But now in front of the master, Li Qi felt that he was like a small grass growing next to a towering tree. When can I learn half of Master's skills and strategies, it will be enough for myself to benefit for a lifetime. Thinking of the little white dragon that day when he secretly rode his master's little white dragon on a whim, Li Qi felt that it was simply the most correct and luckiest thing he had done in his life.
The two talked, and soon came to the Sihai Supermarket in Pingkangfang. From afar, I saw that there was a crowd of people, and a group of people were surrounded by three layers inside and three outside the entrance of the supermarket. The supermarket is not officially open yet, they are all here to see the excitement and freshness.
Hou of Shouchang County opened two drunken immortal buildings in Pingkangfang and Xishi, and sold a jar of immortal drunk and immortal brew to two hundred and fifty guan, and a pot of Longjing tea to three hundred guan, such a high price, and the people who want to drink it are still squeezed their heads, and it has been spread to everyone in Chang'an City. Everyone talked about it, and the mystery combined with the bragging of those who drank it everywhere gradually made it a fashion.
Shouchang County Hou Immortal Disciple, Immortal Disciple Production, the quality must be extraordinary, in a very short period of time has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every rich person in Chang'an. At this time, Sihai Supermarket was born, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
I saw three long high tables at the door of the supermarket, on which were placed more than a dozen basins, clean and warm water, and behind it was a young and beautiful girl, preparing soap, towels and skin care glycerin and other items.
The men gathered at the door of the supermarket were washing their hands with soap, and after washing them, a few ladies and maidens were allowed to try rose glycerin, and there were cheers and surprises from afar.
"It's really clean, white and tender, and it has a scent. This soap is much easier to use than bath beans, and there are a lot of bubbles. "The woman who spoke didn't need to ask, the family was rich, and if she didn't have money, she couldn't afford to use bath beans.
"Let me try, let me try, let the front one let me......"
"This rose glycerin is really a good thing, it has been absorbed all at once, and the water on my hands is slippery. How much is a bottle of glycerin, I bought it! ”
"This little lady, the Four Seas Supermarket has not yet opened, and these soaps and rose glycerin are all for you to try, and they are not sold now. If you want to buy it, come back when we open. ”
"When will it open, and how much is a bottle?"
"The opening is just a few days ago, and we still have to ask our proprietor about the price, but the proprietor said that these two things are not easy to come by, and the price will not be too low."
Speaking is a tall and slender girl of about twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance and elegant temperament, and the nine girls around her who are similar to her have become a beautiful scenery in the Sihai supermarket. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, it was too rare for someone to be unmarried at the age of twenty, not to mention that several people were first-class in appearance.
"Good things, we can buy them for as much as we want."
"Then let's wait until it opens......"
“…… Ah, I've seen General Xiao, King Jianning. ”
Xiao Quzhi and Li Qi dismounted and walked over, the ten most outstanding, the most beautiful, and the best temperament girls hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and gave the two of them a blessing, Yingying Yanyan, neat, almost perfect lady etiquette, Xiao Qubing felt very good-looking.
They turned out to be palace maids in the Huaqing Palace, and they were only given to Xiao by Li Longji a few days ago. It's also interesting to say, before Li Longji also thought that Xiao Quzhi was a cultivator and not close to women. Later, when he found out, he immediately gave ten palace maids to Xiao to get sick, and he couldn't refrain if he wanted to.
In line with the noble idea of being a good person and doing good deeds and saving people from the sea of fire, Xiao Quzhi followed Gao Lishi to Li Longji's harem to pick these ten most beautiful and pleasing girls.
I am indeed doing good.
Speaking of which, Li Longji, the emperor, was too absurd and unreasonable, and since the late Kaiyuan Dynasty, he began to be greedy for pleasure, poor and extravagant, and he has also achieved the ultimate in women and beauty, the first in the world.
He specially set up an envoy called the Flower and Bird Envoy to collect beauties from all over the world for him, and in just a few years, he collected 40,000 beauties to enrich the harem for him to be romantic every night.
But later, Li Longji favored Yang Guifei again, so all these 40,000 young beauties were beaten into the deep palace and became palace maids.
Of course, even if Li Longji does not favor Yang Guifei, and the groom's iron pestle is sharpened into an embroidery needle every night, most of these 40,000 palace maids are also extremely miserable lives, although they have no worries about food and clothing, but it is no different from being in prison, it is nothing more than a gorgeous cage.
No one knows how their hearts were so excited that they almost cried when Xiao went to the sick and chose them; How envious and jealous of those palace maids who were not chosen.
originally thought that Xiao Qu's illness would fill them into the inner house, or what would he do one by one? Who knew that after arriving at Xiao's house, Xiao Qu's illness actually asked them to go home.
Xiao Quai's idea is actually very simple, if you want to save it, of course, you can be saved, and beauties like them should be favored by men. But there are so many beauties that I can't love, not to mention that I have someone I like, so I sent them home to marry, and there was a dowry to give each other, which can be regarded as a commemoration of the meeting.
How do you know that the ten girls cried at once, saying that Xiao Qu was sick and disgusted that they were ugly or something, and two of them had to die. said that Xiao Quai's great kindness to them will never be forgotten for the rest of their lives, and they are willing to give Xiao Quai's illness as a slave and a maid for the rest of their lives, in short, they are unwilling to go back, of course, they may not be able to go back.
So Xiao Qubing had no choice but to keep them all, and at the same time praised them for being beautiful, but he really didn't mean that, and it took a lot of time to calm them down.
The final result was that He Keer made a suggestion, and they all immediately agreed to help in the Four Seas Trading Company, with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, including food and accommodation. And as long as they find their favorite Lang Jun, they can marry at any time, and Xiao Mansion will be their maiden family! Even after getting married, they can continue to work in the supermarket, and if they do well, their position and income will increase.
Then these ten beautiful and well-known former palace maids became He Keer's right-hand men, helping He Keer train and recruit more than 200 future employees of Sihai Supermarket.
As if they had found the direction of their lives, the ten girls threw themselves into their work with a hundred times the enthusiasm of the ten girls, and soon trained their more than 200 employees to look good. Every time Xiao Qu's illness came, they looked very grateful. In the words of one of the girls, Hou Siqi, it was Xiao Quzhi and He Ke who gave them a new and free life.
Today, Sihai Supermarket held an activity of soap and skin care glycerin, and He Keer also handed it over to these ten girls. I don't know if He Ke'er is well trained or because he was born in the palace, these ten people are actually well-organized and impressive.
Well, it must be that his wife has the ability and is well trained, Xiao Qu thought proudly. returned the salute to the ten girls and took Li Qi into the supermarket.
