Lord Ryujin is back, and this must be the first great event in Wanghai City.

Because there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, according to the traditional customs of China, it is to greet each other for the New Year, and the dragon god is undoubtedly the first choice to be worshipped, some common people may consider that there are too many worshippers of the dragon god during the real New Year, and they are afraid that they will not be able to catch up with it, so they rushed to the city lord's mansion that night to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Bei.

"It's New Year's greetings?" Lin Bei, Bian Ji and the others had just finished eating and were eating in the courtyard, when they heard the sergeant's report that some people had come to pay New Year's greetings, Lin Bei was very surprised.

"The first worship of the gods of heaven and earth, the second worship of the true shadow of the ancestors, and then worship the elders of the high hall, the adults are the dragon gods in the sky, and the common people naturally want to come to visit, although it is a little too early, but now that the young year has passed, it is also feasible." Bian Ji said with a smile.

"But I didn't prepare anything, I have to give some red envelopes or something."

"My lord, the common people are sincere, how can such a mundane thing be weighed, as long as the adults accept it, it is kindness." Bian Ji said seriously.

With the increasing prosperity of Wanghai City, as the spiritual leader and actual ruler of Wanghai City, Bian Ji's words are indeed true, which is like the sentence describing the Son of Heaven: The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and Lord Longshen can accept the visit of the common people, is he worthy of the common people, is it to give the common people face, but also to give the common people red envelopes? Don't think too well.

Although Lin Bei felt that this was not good, he really didn't have anything to do for a while, give money? Wanghai City doesn't have much iron money now, give something else? Small jewelry such as jade? There are too many people in Wanghai, although Lin Bei has collected some jade, but these jade stones are too valuable and not something that can be taken out casually, so Lin Bei has no choice but to follow Bian Ji's words.

Out of the City Lord's Mansion. Although it was night, there was a crowd of people outside the City Lord's Mansion, all of them beaming, all dressed in the best clothes, holding gourmet vegetables in their hands, and they didn't look like New Year's greetings. It's like you're here to worship the dragon god.

As soon as Lin Bei appeared, it was like a celebrity appearing, and these people were just like fans, screaming, which made Lin Bei's head a little confused in the blink of an eye.

"Ahh The first is screaming, and I don't know whose treble it is.

"Adult"

"Ryujin-sama"

"Your Excellency has come out."

"My lord, we want to greet you for the New Year"

Bian Ji gently stepped back and stood behind the door of the city lord's mansion, the common people were too fanatical. Bian Ji's old arms and legs still don't come forward to join in the fun, as for the adults, the adults can resist.

"Are you worshipping the New Year or God?" Lin Bei quickly reflected and said with a wry smile.

"New Year's greetings, we are greeting your lords," the common people said in unison.

"Okay, come one by one, and get in line. Don't squeeze don't squeeze, I'll say okay first. Ben-sama just came back today, but there are no red envelopes."

The common people burst out laughing.

"Adult, don't want an adult's red envelope"

"My lord, I asked my inner man to make adult pancakes, and I came to offer them to my lord."

"My lord, this is a cucumber that was picked today. Come and offer it to adults."

Although the common people were gossiping, they were in order, and they came in a line one by one, and at this time Bian Ji also walked out of the door, and now he is not afraid of crowding.

The procedure for meeting is simple. The common people all kowtowed, and then said a few words of blessing, and a common person standing at the front was the first to greet the New Year.

"I wish you great life and immortal Qi, and you will always enjoy the longevity of Wanghai City, which is getting better and better" The common man kowtowed respectfully three times, raised his head, handed over a basket, and said diligently: "My lord, this is the little heart of the villain's family, and I hope the adult can accept it." ”

This basket is about the same size as the fruit basket of later generations, with a red ribbon tied to the handle, and four things are placed in turn, a few pancakes, which are adult pancakes, some vegetables, and some dried fish and fish floss, which are stuffed to the brim.

Lin Bei smiled and motioned to Bian Ji to take it: "Okay, then the Lord will accept it, thank you for your heart, and Lord Ben also wishes you good health in the new year, and the days will be better and better." ”

"Lord Xie Longshen blessed" The common people were overjoyed, and they kowtowed three more times before leaving, and then another person stepped forward.

The old, the young, the man, the woman, or the family, or alone, kowtow, say the greetings, Lin Bei replied to the greetings, although everyone visited for only half a minute, but there were tens of thousands of people in Wanghai, so they worshiped until twelve o'clock, and only a thousand people worshiped Lin Bei for the New Year.

Seeing that the time was too late, Lin Bei received the gift and was about to pile up into a hill, Lin Bei gestured to Bian Ji, Bian Ji nodded, and stopped the next visit: "Okay, it's a little late today, the adults have just returned, and they need to rest, you can come back tomorrow night, don't worry, the adults know the intentions of your waiting." ”

Lin Bei also nodded and said, "You can come to see me, Lord Ben is very happy, but you can't help but let Lord Ben rest, right?" I'm tired today, so let's go back and rest. ”

Lin Bei spoke, and the common people slowly dispersed.

Looking at this large pile of things, Lin Bei smiled bitterly, "Master, you can take some back." Then he said to the sergeant who had been guarding the side just now: "You should also take it back with you, and be happy." ”

Even if the sergeant took some, there was still a lot left, and the sergeant moved Lin Bei into the house, Lin Bei and Bian Ji entered the house and twisted their bodies: "I feel more tired than molting"

Bian Ji was speechless, and said after a long time: "My lord, there must be more people tomorrow night, according to the number of people in my Wanghai, if more than 50,000 people come to pay New Year's greetings, my lord will not be idle these days."

"It's just a few days, according to a thousand people a day, at least more than a month, no wonder the common people have to pay New Year's greetings in advance." Lin Bei muttered.

Bian Ji could only laugh.

This is indeed a happy trouble, the common people can come to Lin Bei to pay New Year's greetings, naturally because the common people love Lin Bei, because Lin Bei has brought them a peaceful and peaceful happy life, and they can change to a cruel ruler like Dong Zhuo? The common people must have avoided it.

On the morning of the second day, An Zhongzhi came to the City Lord's Mansion to have dinner with Lin Bei, and during the meal, An Zhongzhi also talked about the matter and said with a smile: "My lord is really loved by the common people. ”

Lin Bei rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then said: "The common people meet me, I always feel a little embarrassed, loyal, do you have to give some gifts back to the common people?" ”

An Zhong smiled in surprise and said: "My lord doesn't have to be like this, those things are my Wanghai people's hearts, if my lord can accept them, the common people will be very happy, whether they have a gift in return or not." After a pause, An Zhong said straightly: "If the adult really wants to return the gift, there is a way to be honest." ”

"Oh, what's the idea?"

"Aren't we going to distribute the grain to the common people in the future? Then it's about taking care of your own family, have you ever thought about making some money and things that belong to my Wanghai City? ”

"Money that belongs to our Wanghai City? You mean iron money? ”

"However, in order to facilitate the common people to buy and sell, now I don't have much iron money in Wanghai City, the villain is thinking about whether to make some out, and is preparing to discuss this matter with the adults, if the adults really want to return the gift, they will take this opportunity to give it to the common people."

Making money must be a matter for the imperial court, but now Wanghai City only recognizes Lin Bei, the dragon god, and it is not easy to speak when he comes here today, so An Zhongzhi has raised an idea that originally seemed to be a big rebellion, that is, to create a currency unique to Wanghai City, so as to facilitate the circulation of the people of Wanghai City.

Lin Bei nodded slightly, agreeing with An Zhongzhi's idea.

Now is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the following decades until the Three Kingdoms period, the types of currency can be said to be quite a lot, the orthodox is the five coins issued by the imperial court, and then Dong Zhuo destroyed the Qin Dynasty's twelve gold people issued a small five plants, which can barely be regarded as issued by the imperial court, but this is already the last kind of coin issued by the Han Dynasty, to the period of the division of the heroes, many candidates also issued coins in their respective territories, after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, these three countries also issued coins, counting almost a dozen.

These coins are large and small, and the purchasing power is also extremely different, among which the purchasing power of the small five plants issued by Dong Zhuo is the lowest, and the price of the guide zhì has risen wildly, and a liter of rice can be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and this small five plants can be said to have completely destroyed the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

These can be skipped now, just talk about Wanghai City today, Lin Bei thinks that coins can indeed be issued, because now the territory of Wanghai City is getting bigger and bigger, and the road is getting longer and longer, and it is about to reach Yizhou, and the poison country will also be opened in the near future, and when it comes to trade, it must need a currency to circulate, and you can't use the five plants of the imperial court's money, if you really use it, then the price of Wanghai City will soar like the price in the Central Plains, which is not conducive to stability, Lin Bei naturally will not want so.

However, the issuance of exclusive currency is not a trivial matter, so Lin Bei asked the sergeant to call Bian Ji to the City Lord's Mansion, as for Cui Lan and Huang Yueying, Cui Lan is a military talent, even if she comes, she can't intervene, and Huang Yueying is not very old, so Lin Bei did not inform them.

"Want to issue coins that belong to my Wanghai City?" Bian Ji was first surprised, and then his face was full of joy: "My lord, this should indeed be done, the sooner this coin is issued, the better." ”

Those in power without ambition will not think of this aspect, Wanghai City is developing rapidly, and I believe that it will soon be able to trade with other places, even if Lin Bei does not say it, there must be currency at that time, so Bian Ji thinks that the sooner it is issued, the better.

"I also know that the sooner it is issued, the better, but what should be used to mint such a coin? Is it iron or silver? What shape should it be cast, and in addition, we must prevent some people from imitating iron money, and we must consider all of this, and we must not be negligent at all. ”

Anything related to money, small things can also become big things, not to mention the issuance of currency, if you do it well, you can regulate the economy, if you don't do it well, it will lead to the boiling of people's grievances, this is not a joke, in addition, you also need to cast money The process is quite superb, so that others are not easy to imitate, because this money is likely to circulate abroad, which represents the face of Linbei and Wanghai City, if it is imitated in large quantities, it is a slap in the face.
