In the study of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Qiong and Li Xi sat opposite each other.

Zhou Qiong said slowly: "The first thing, after discussion in the yamen, Master Weishi, Master Beijiagao, and Master Sima Liu all feel that the method you Jinyuan adopted in the face of the catastrophe is very good, and the use of work for relief can not only solve the problem of famine among the common people, but also repair the embankment and farmland, which is really a good governance that turns disasters into benefits." ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard it, but he couldn't help but think in his heart, what the teacher said was a little biased, this method of cash-for-work was not the first to be pioneered by Jinyuan, it can be said that once the year of famine, not only the local government, but even the central political axes of all dynasties also did this, but it was the method of growing and selling vegetables by himself, I am afraid that it is the absolute initiative, why don't you listen to the teacher's praise of yourself, but instead praise the work-for-relief?

knew that the teacher must have a reason for what he said, so Li Xi didn't interject at the moment and listened patiently.

Zhou Qiong continued: "Therefore, after everyone's discussion, it was officially decided that the Assassin Mansion should also come up with some measures to help the following people get through this catastrophe together, since your Jinyuan method is very good, then use your method, the Assassin's Mansion will also carry out a work-for-relief here, as for the project, because the counties below have seen Jinyuan's actions, they have also chosen to repair the river embankment and fields, so the Assassin's Mansion has decided to put the target on the road......"

Hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he had already guessed what Zhou Qiong meant, and then he really heard Zhou Qiong say: "The official road from Shuzhou to Chengdu has not been repaired for more than ten years, although it is generally smooth, but not to mention that this official road is an important passage connecting the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy to the official office, that is, the people of Shuzhou and Chengdu, and it is also thanks to its communication, so its important surname is really extremely high." ”

"After the discussion of the Yamen of the Assassin History, the teacher has officially informed the envoy of the festival, and contacted the Chengdu Mansion, and strived to make efforts on both sides of the road to rebuild this section of the road before the late rice goes to the field."

Li Xi couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly even felt a little tired, thinking that the teacher was really the teacher, and he quietly played a few official words, and he actually helped himself a lot around the bend.

During this time, first soaked in heavy rain, and then frequently took heavy cars, many sections of the road were not good, resulting in several damage to the vegetable truck, just on the way he had just come back with Li Yifeng and Liu Rong, several people also stopped halfway to check the road conditions a few times, Li Yifeng muttered in his mouth, although he didn't say it, but Li Xi knew that he had the idea of this road in his heart.

Perhaps with his old spiciness, he had already calculated it, with his teacher-student relationship with Zhou Qiong, coupled with his relationship with Liu Bo's son-in-law, it was naturally a good idea to let the Assassin Mansion pay for the construction of this official road. I'm afraid that he wouldn't have thought of it at all, and before he could speak, the teacher Zhou Qiong and Old Man Liu had already helped him plan it, no, the good news came out of now.

At that moment, Li Xi hurriedly got up, stood up after bowing deeply, and said with a smile: "The teacher is really a loving disciple, the student has thanked you!" ”

Zhou Qiong smiled when he heard this, waved his hand, and said: "It's just that once the project starts, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the traffic at that time. ”

Li Xi nodded when he heard this, but said: "Although this official road has not been repaired for more than ten years, but the old foundation is good, now it is only repaired, not the entire renovation, presumably the progress of the project will be very fast, besides, our ox carts are all at night, just there will be no time conflict with the road repair, well, even if there is some impact, it is also limited, and only one person needs to be arranged every other section of the road to follow the progress of the project at any time, and be a township guide for us at night." ”

Zhou Qiong nodded and smiled when he heard this, and was very satisfied with Li Xi's percussion song.

Then he paused, and said: "Although this matter is a public matter, once the matter is decided, the Assassin Yamen will also officially give you a document in the county, but it's nothing to tell you in advance, even if it is to say hello to your county in advance, after all, although it is the Assassin Mansion that leads the matter, it is inseparable from the cooperation of the county below." ”

Li Xi heard this: "Don't worry, the disciple will go to Zheng County Ling to discuss a personnel scheduling plan in advance." ”

Zhou Qiong nodded when he heard this, "As for the second thing, it's a private matter." ”

He stood up, took a box from the bookshelf behind him, put it on the bookcase in front of him and pushed it to Li Xi, and said, "Take it." ”

Li Xi opened it curiously and saw that inside the box wrapped in red silk was actually a piece of flying money issued by the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy Yamen.

The so-called flying money is also known as "easy change" nowadays. In Li Xi's understanding, it should be regarded as the earliest paper money in Chinese history, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not a paper money, because it is derived from the exchange of money and grain between the envoys of various regions and the imperial court.

At the beginning, there was a large amount of money and grain exchanges between the imperial court and the local envoys every year, and the transportation was extremely labor-intensive and material-intensive, so later the imperial court simply stopped undertaking the transportation and instead contracted the transportation task to the merchants.

After the merchants received the task in Chang'an and escorted the money, grain and other things to the place, they would get a piece of flying money from the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy as a freight, and the merchants could go directly to the household department to pay the freight, so it can be said that at this time, the flying money was actually just a voucher issued after receiving the goods.

Nowadays, gold and silver are valuables, rarely circulated, and copper coins are the main currency of the market, but copper coins are very inconvenient to carry, and there is also a safety risk, but when businessmen go out to do business, they must carry a large number of them.

Therefore, after the inspiration of this method of freight settlement, some people suddenly thought, is it possible to learn from this way of issuing flying money? Thus, the real flying money came into being.

When the merchants were in Chang'an, they handed over the money to the army, the envoys or the "Jinjuyuan" set up in the capital, and they could get the same value as the famous coupon from the Jinjuyuan, and then they only needed to carry the famous coupon to the designated place in other regions to withdraw the money, which not only avoided the pain of carrying, but also exchanged conveniently, no matter where to do business, they could do it according to this, so this method was immediately popular all over the world as soon as it came out, and it was very popular with the merchants.

Of course, when cashing out, they still need to pay a certain percentage of the handling fee to the local yamen. Even so, the merchants still found it a great deal of money, so they enjoyed it. And the yamen of various places such as the festival envoys and the various provinces have also obtained a lot of income through this, which can be called a convenient compartment.

Therefore, up to now, it is not only the government that is hosting this flying money, but also many big businessmen have set up joint accounts in various provinces or major cities, etc., and they have "changed" on behalf of the company to make profits.

But the role of flying money is only that, it can only play the role of exchange, and cannot replace the circulation of coins in society, so if it is more accurately positioned, it should be counted as an ancient check.

Of course, many times it will also be used as a means of payment, after all, many large transactions need a huge amount of copper money, for both sides of the transaction, whether it is counting or transporting such a large amount of copper money, it is too troublesome, therefore, the transaction is often directly to fly money transactions, anyway, the flying money is only charged according to time and distance, but there is no limit to invalidation, the organizer is the government, the reputation is reliable, the big deal is to take more fees when you go to cash in the end.

And the flying money that Zhou Qiong took out was issued by the Jinju Yuan of the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy in Chang'an, the capital, with the name of Zhang Shan, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, written on it, and the designated place to withdraw the money was the Jiannan Dao Jiedu Envoy's Yamen, and the amount was one million yuan.

Holding this flying money in his hand, Li Xi couldn't understand what it meant, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at Zhou Qiong, and said, "Teacher, ...... you are"

Zhou Qiongzhong sat down again and said: "Put it away, you have laid down such a big stall, you must be very nervous about the money, you can eat your dry shares for nothing in the past, but since you have defeated me as a teacher, and I only have you as a disciple, I have never seen you, a student, struggle for money there, while I, a teacher, have a bunch of money in my home and lie there to sleep." This money can be regarded as the stake money for the teacher. ”

After a pause, without waiting for Li Xi to say anything, he smiled again: "This is also what your master and wife meant, you must know that her money box has always been very strict, and she values you very much to treat you like this, and you don't have to refuse her kindness." Besides, the friendship between our master and apprentice is not on this level, and it will be meaningless if you refuse. ”

Hearing Zhou Qiong say this, Li Xi didn't have a good idea to say anything, thinking that he really needed money now, so he had the right to borrow it and use it, and then he would pay it back when he turned over, so he smiled at the moment and simply put away the flying money. He smiled in his mouth: "The teacher and the master are really distressed about the disciple, hehe, then I will leave quickly later, and put this flying money at home before I can rest assured, lest the master and wife regret it after thinking about it and then care that I want to go back." ”

Zhou Qiong laughed when he heard this, but he stretched out his hand and pointed at him, then pointed in the direction of the back house, and whispered: "Listen carefully to people, and I won't care about your food in the future." ”

Li Xi also smiled when he heard this, but after carefully reflecting on Zhou Qiong's words just now, he suddenly realized, so he asked tentatively: "Teacher, are you about to be promoted?" ”

Zhou Qiong glanced at Li Xi in surprise when he heard this, then nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "What your master said is right, you are really a ghost and clever, I haven't said anything, you already smell something." ”

Smiling, he said: "Recently, there has been a lot of chaos in Chang'an, and the competition between the DPRK and China is fierce, Aman's grandfather wrote that if nothing else, he is likely to take two steps forward this year and next year, but Aman's uncles are not very able to support the shelf, so the old man wants to transfer me back to assist him." ”

Li Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, although the teacher Zhou Qiong's words were relatively vague, but recently Li Xi and Liu Rong chatted a lot, and he already had some preliminary understanding of the political situation in the DPRK and China, Ahhhh ”

Seeing him playing treasure there, Zhou Qiong smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be there first, this thing is not yet accurate, even if it is as his old man expected, I will definitely not be able to make the trip within a few months, so I am just precautionary measures to tell you." ”

Having said that, Zhou Qiong's face was full of joy.

If Li Xi just congratulated him on his imminent ascension, he was of course happy, but as soon as Li Xi saw that he was about to ascend, in addition to congratulating, he immediately felt that he was going to ascend to heaven with the chicken dog, but inadvertently revealed a sense of closeness, which was what made Zhou Qiong the most happy.

Speaking of which, although he has been an official for many years, he has spent most of his time on the fictitious position in Chang'an, and secondly, even if he sits in the locality, he is often transferred from here to there in a very short time, and he has no time to cultivate his own manpower.

And Li Xi has the name of master and apprentice with himself, and the two sides get along quite cordially, but Li Xi, this kid is still very thoughtful and clever, no matter where he puts it, he can almost be alone, so he naturally attaches more importance to it in his heart, and faintly thinks that it is for the use of the humerus, of course, he wishes that the relationship between the two parties is as close as possible.

Even if he doesn't want to put aside this layer, just to pave some connections for his son Aman in advance, Li Xi, the senior brother, must also be wooed and promoted.
