The 17th are all smart people

Long Keduo returned home with gains and losses, and he was excited, but he didn't feel very real, and he really couldn't figure out why Yinzhen would deliberately mention himself? Seeing that the light in his father's study was still on, he went inside. Bayi Chinese~

Tong Guowei was in the room, and when he saw Long Keduo coming in with a blue nose and swollen face and disheveled clothes, his heart suddenly became angry, and he snorted lightly before teasing: "What, even the bitter meat trick is used?" ”

Long Keduo didn't know where to start for a while, but after listening to his father's sarcasm, he hurriedly said, "It's not what Amma thinks. ”

"Huh, what is that?" Tong Guowei was deeply disappointed in this son, and said without pretense: "Don't think that Ama doesn't know what you do outside, and he's just lazy to care about you." ”

Long Keduo also knew that his father didn't want to see him, and he didn't distinguish between them, so he directly told the story of what happened tonight.

The more Tong Guowei listened, the more solemn his face became, and when Long Keduo finished speaking, he said with a solemn expression: "You tell me again about the situation after Haishan left, the more detailed the better." ”

After saying it again, Long Keduo couldn't help but ask: "Amma, there are two things that the child can't think through, one, why did fourteen tell the child this?" Second, how credible is his words? ”

Tong Guowei's face softened, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Yinzhen has been living in the palace since his wedding, if the emperor didn't like him, he would have let him divide the house a long time ago, however, these words could not have been inadvertently revealed by the emperor, the three points he said to you are actually one point, don't climb the elder brother, the father has always supported the eighth elder brother, he asked you to keep a distance from the family is what it means, Yinzhen has no ill will towards you, mentioning you is nothing more than a good fate, a shadow, you just do what he says, Go to the account and pay a thousand taels of silver, don't show any abnormality, just do the same as usual, and give me rot in my stomach today. Bayi Chinese~"

"Yes, the child knows measure." Long Keduo was very excited, and it seemed that his spring was not far away.

After Long Keduo went out, Tong Guowei fell into deep thought, he really didn't pay attention to this old fourteenth on weekdays, judging from what happened tonight, his methods are not inferior to the old eighth.

The old fourteen will definitely not let go of the point of Long Keduo without a reason, could it be that he has figured out the emperor's thoughts? What does it mean not to climb the brother, even him? Is it that the emperor is not optimistic about the crown prince, or is the emperor not optimistic about all the elder brothers? Does it mean that there will be great changes in three or five years? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

In September, the capital is getting cold day by day.

On the second day of the ninth lunar month, Zheng Shichang entered the Suibeizi Mansion again with his son Zheng Qingyuan and the sample ticket of the silver ticket.

After the ceremony, Zheng Shichang introduced: "This is the dog Zheng Qingyuan, who has been stubborn since he was a child, pestering to open his eyes, so that the fourteenth master smiled." ”

Yinzhen was like a mirror in his heart, what kind of eyes did he open, this was to invest in his own door to seek a background, and looked at Zheng Qingyuan, this kid is very delicate, his eyes are bright, his whole body is full of cleverness, and his body is also strong, far stronger than his old man, nodded slightly, opened the door and asked, "How old is it?" Have you ever read? ”

Zheng Qingyuan didn't wait for him to speak, so he knelt down, "Back to the fourteenth master, the youngest one is twenty-six this year, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twenty-two." ”

Yinzhen likes his cleverness, and he also pointed to Zheng Shichang to work hard for himself, and this bit of face still has to be given, so he smiled and said: "Yes, if you have a smart energy, come over to the master as a personal guard in the reading pavilion." ”

"Thank you for your grace." Father and son knelt down together to give thanks.

"Get up and read the Pavilion." Yinzhen raised his hand and shouted outward, "Dachun." ”

"The minions are here."

Yinzhen pointed at Zheng Qingyuan and said, "Take him down, join the master's personal guards, and train with the personal guards." ”

After the two of them retreated, Yinzhen looked at Zheng Shichang, "The date has been set?" ”

"Back to the fourteenth master, it is scheduled to open on the ninth double day in early September." Saying that, he presented the sample of the silver ticket with both hands, "This is the final sample ticket, thanks to the fourteenth master Hongfu, the watermark has been printed, and the reason why it has been delayed for so long is to wait for this watermark master." ”

"Okay, it's good to have a watermark." Yinzhen was very happy, with a watermark, in a short period of time others can not forge plagiarism, take the sample ticket to welcome the light, there are two five-pointed star watermarks, carefully rubbing, look over, Yinzhen is quite satisfied, although he did not participate in the design of such a ticket, but detailed instructions, the size of the red sun of later generations two big, the paper is a first-class mulberry paper, thick and white, a little rough to the touch, the pattern is complex and exquisite, the text not only has Manchu, Chinese and Mongolian, the big silver one hundred taels is very eye-catching, on both sides and below there are other secret numbers and numbers, It has been stamped with two square seals.

"It's okay to have a watermark, and it's printed in the blank space for easy verification." Yinzhen casually instructed: "The amount of silver tickets is based on ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, five thousand, and ten thousand, and ten thousand, and ten thousand, and ten thousand, and ten thousand, and all silver tickets, all of which must be stamped with my fingerprint to take effect." ”

After a pause, Yinzhen continued: "In addition, two thousand silver tickets with an amount of one tael were printed before the sixth day of the ninth month, and distributed to all yamen, officials' residences, big merchants, inns, foot horse shops, and docks in the capital, and everyone who went out of the palace should have a share. ”

Zheng Shichang was puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "These two thousand taels of silver were just sent out like this, isn't it a waste?" ”

"I can't help but let the child trap the wolf, so I want to teach you?" Yinzhen glanced at him, "Those who exchange silver for silver tickets, those who are not in good condition will be charged another fire consumption, and those who are full of fine will be charged five cents." How much money are you going to charge for three million silver tickets? ”

150,000 taels! Just issuing silver tickets has such a big benefit, Zheng Shichang's eyes were round, so much so that when he left the Suibeizi Mansion, he thought of what Yinzhen said, "All silver tickets must be stamped with my fingerprint to take effect." ’

What does that mean? As long as he counted how many seals he stamped, he knew how much profit the 'Four Hengs' had, and asked the sky speechlessly, is there such a shameless person in the world? He is still ashamed to say that the business of the 'Four Hengs', he does not interfere, nor does he install people, but he still uses meddler? With the placement of human hands? The old man and the 'Four Great Hengs' are now a long-term worker.

Suddenly, Zheng Shichang thought of a loophole, how to supervise the recovered silver tickets?

Semicolons are all over the country, and if there is no effective supervision, the silver tickets will go in and out, and the profits can only be cheaper than the shopkeepers of the semicolons. Thinking of this huge loophole, Zheng Shichang turned around and went back to Beizi Mansion.

How to supervise the recovered silver tickets? Yinzhen was also stunned when he heard it, he really didn't think of this problem. You must know that the profit from the issuance of silver bills and membership tickets is mainly the handling fee, and if it is used repeatedly, what is the profit? This is a new problem, and he can't do anything about it for a while. So he kicked the ball back again, "Shopkeeper Zheng, you also come to ask me about these things?" Are you a hands-off shopkeeper? ”
