Chapter 164: Zheng He's Treasure
Reverse post. Di Haonan took a hot water bath for a month, and the desert was tired of Dongchuan Shuang, so it took an hour to soak before coming out.
It's really a comfort!
I changed into a Confucian dress, and the loose clothes were like the bathrobes of later generations, and it was also suitable for those who accidentally bumped into them.
Under the sun, Deng Haonan wore Daming black crystal glasses. Lying on the Taishi chair in the courtyard.
The warm sun shone on the whole body. Enjoyed it very much.
There is a rare calm, but Deng Haonan is calculating this desert trip in his heart.
The plan to buy Mongolian war horses was in vain, and he originally wanted to take the opportunity to unite the Mongolian tribes to eliminate the Houjin Jurchen in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally killed the Mongolian Khan Lin Dan, the last Mongolian Khan, who could have lived for five or six more years, but now he withdrew from the stage of history early.
Lin Dan Khan was a faint Khan since the later period. It's nothing to be dead. The crux of the matter is that once he dies, there is no successor, and the last fig leaf of the Mongolian tribes is gone, and they can openly take refuge in Houjin.
For the post-Kim who lost two big wars in a row. This is undoubtedly a huge boost. Thinking of Xifeng Koushui Pass, Huang Taiji obviously saw the weakness of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not attack. This in the eyes of others, it was thought that Huang Taiji did not dare to attack the Great Wall. But Deng Haonan knew that in history, Huang Taiji ascended the throne and the Great Khan attacked the Ming Dynasty. The first time he captured the Xifeng Pass.
This shows that he is not dare, but is tightening his fists. Prepare to break the level at one time and go straight to the Yellow Dragon.
Damn it!
The locomotive of history turned a few months ago, and now it has turned back, which makes Deng Haonan a headache.
You can't buy a war horse from Mongolia, so you can find another way.
Just as Na Haonan was thinking about the problem, footsteps sounded. Turning his head, Ding Daniu and Hai Lanzhu walked over together.
Di Haonan wants to rest here for a whole day, Hai Lanzhu came to Daming for the first time, and her curiosity is very strong, and she asks to go out for a walk. So Na Haonan had no choice but to send someone to ask the second store to be her guide. Let her go out and see for a long time.
"Coming back so soon?"
Ding Da Niu approached and said, "My lord has a situation!" ”
Di Haonan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately got up and took off his sunglasses.
"What's the situation?"
Ding Da Niu glanced at Hai Lanzhu, and then whispered in Di Haonan's ear for a while.
"Is that what it does?" Hai Lanzhu pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I am not a spy." Why are you avoiding me! ”
After listening to Ding Da Niu's words. Na Haonan was surprised.
"Really?"
Ding Da Niu nodded, noncommittal.
It turned out that Hai Lanzhu went out shopping and stopped by a teahouse. I overheard that a money bank in Jizhou Town offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Looking for literate destined people.
After Hai Lanzhu learned about it, she went to the money house with curiosity. There were a lot of people gathered in the bank. The dealer hangs a sign in the hall with a large word written on it, as long as you recognize it. and the word shall be given a thousand taels of silver.
Hai Lanzhu didn't know the shopkeeper and a few of the guards who accompanied him, but one of the guards was curious and drew the word according to it. Take it back and find Ding Da Niu and others to identify.
After Ding Daniu read the word, although he didn't recognize it, he felt that it was very similar to Deng Haonan's daily writing, and he felt a little unusual, so he came over to ask Deng Haonan's opinion.
"Show me!"
Na Haonan sat up, and the guard handed over the note.
Na Haonan took it and looked at it, and was dumbfounded, and a word popped out for a long time.
"Just!"
"Fack?" Hai Lanzhu repeated. Looking at Zhou Ding Da Niu and the others, he asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Ding Daniu and the other guards immediately pinned their heads to the side.
Di Haonan didn't want his usual swear words to affect his image, so he replaced it with English that the soldiers couldn't understand. But over time, the soldiers who often stayed by Na Haonan's side. Combined with the scene and expression of Deng Haonan when he spoke. Gradually, the general meaning of these words was deduced.
"Prepare the horses!" Deng Haonan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Let's go and see!" ”
Ding Da Niu hurriedly gathered the guards. Deng Haonan walked to the front hall.
Hai Lanzhu looked curiously at the sunglasses on the Taishi chair, picked them up and pondered them, and then took them on like Deng Haonan, turned around and almost didn't fall, and quickly took them off again.
"What! It's black! ”
Hai Lanzhu pursed her lips and whispered: "Just as mysterious as your master!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at it and saw that Deng Haonan had already walked away, so he hurriedly put down his sunglasses and followed quickly.
What is it that makes Deng Haonan attach so much importance to it?
It turns out that the word is what. The simplified character "dragon", the ancient word "can" is too far from the modern one. Therefore, no one can recognize it. The purpose of the reward of 1,000 taels of silver is self-evident.
Could it be that there is another time-traveler like himself?
Na Haonan was both excited and nervous in his heart, excited that he had a fellow practitioner, and nervous because he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe. In the hall, the shopkeeper saw Di Haonan. Immediately come out and greet him with a smile.
"Adults dressed as scholars, don't you go out for a walk?"
Di Haonan nodded, and then remembered that he hadn't asked what the money bank was called and how to go.
"What's the name of the bank?"
Hai Lanzhu replied: "It seems to be called Swiss Money Bank!" ”
Swiss bankers?
Na Haonan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "He simply called the Swiss Bank!" ”
"Your Excellency is as discerning as a torch!" The shopkeeper said, "This Swiss bank was indeed called a Swiss bank two hundred years ago!" ”
"What?"
Di Haonan's eyes widened, and he was extremely surprised.
The shopkeeper thought he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly confessed.
Di Haonan waved his hand, signaling that it was okay,
It turned out that two hundred years ago, Zheng Hezuo asked Zhu Zhu to establish a central bank, confiscate the country's gold and silver, and print the Ming treasure banknotes as the circulation currency based on the silver and copper standard. However, Zhu Lin believed that the silver mines of the Ming Dynasty were extremely scarce, and the seizure of silver had an impact on the rule. Therefore, Zheng He's mention was vetoed.
However, he was very appreciative of Zheng He's proposal to print treasure banknotes, so he ordered Zheng He to preside over the issuance of treasure banknotes.
Zheng He then established the Swiss Bank, as the only statutory authority for the issuance of treasure banknotes, and there was a plaque approved by Zhu Zhu's pen, which made the Swiss bank famous for a while.
However, in the later period, Zhu Zhu made several large-scale expeditions, as well as the huge financial deficit caused by six voyages to the West, and the good-faced Zhu Zhu gave a large amount of money to the envoys of various countries every time, and the finances became more and more tight. This made Zhu Lin have the idea of treasure money. Zheng He proposed not to issue treasure money excessively, which would lead to the depreciation of treasure banknotes and cause the collapse of the Ming financial system. For this reason, Zheng He offended Zhu Lin, Zheng He lost power, and disappeared from then on, and many people thought he was dead. At the same time, officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty began to print treasure money, and Swiss banks were also implicated and collapsed.
In the fifth year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji suddenly used Zheng He for some reason, and Zheng He, who had disappeared, immediately organized the seventh trip to the West after he came to power. At the same time, the indiscriminate issuance of treasure money was curbed to a certain extent. The Swiss bank did not make a comeback, but changed its name to Swiss Bank, and it was very low-key.
But the Swiss bank's business philosophy is very high. It is the only money bank in Daming that does not charge for deposits. Therefore, after 200 years of operation, this money bank has not closed down.
"How do you know?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the sign of the inn and said, "Our ancestors have been operating here, but this brand is older than my grandfather!" ”
Deng Haonan looked up, and sure enough, the brand of Yanyun Inn was quite ancient.
I asked some more questions, and the shopkeeper only knew about those, and no more was clear. After thinking about it, Zheng He must have been instructed by the person surnamed Feng behind him, otherwise how could paper money appear as the main circulating currency!
Na Haonan smiled slightly, since this person surnamed Feng helped Zheng He build a ship to the West, and created a dragon and phoenix twilight, as a future person, he will not be willing to be annihilated by history, and will definitely leave relevant information. But the imperial court and Zheng He obviously won't let his affairs be known to the outside world, and will definitely try their best to erase his historical record. Therefore, it is not difficult to rule out that he will rely on his own wisdom to deal with them. And what does a Swiss bank stand for? Dedication, security and secrecy, maybe the clue to this treasure is in this Swiss bank.
"What is the last name of the owner of the Swiss bank?"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "It seems that the surname is Feng!" small
When Di Haonan heard this, the smile on his face became even thicker.
At this time, Ding Da Niu was ready. His own guards will bring the wind in.
Na Haonan didn't say a word, and flew on the horse. Let the guide lead the way, and a group of more than 50 people went straight to the branch of Xinzhou Town, Switzerland.
※※
Along the way, Hai Lanzhu chattered with Na Haonan, mainly around why Di Haonan recognized the word "dragon".
The black lines on Haonan's head flickered her one sentence after another. Unexpectedly, Deng Haonan told a lie. Then Hai Lanzhu believed it!
Hi! I didn't expect that ancient times would be the same as modern times. No one will believe the truth, but everyone who tells lies will take it seriously.
It's unreasonable!
While speaking, everyone had already ridden to the gate of the Swiss money bank in Jizhou Town.
Completely different from the description of the shopkeeper, the front of the Swiss money bank is deserted, and there are two lone stone lions. One of the left front teeth is missing, and the beads in the right mouth are missing.
Business isn't good!
Na Haonan and the others dismounted, and their own guards came to lead the horses.
At this time, more than 20 gray-clad and small-dressed family members rushed out of the door, one of them was fierce and vicious, and he was still carrying a wooden stick in his hand.
Di Haonan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked Xiang Hai Haozhu.
"How did you get in?"
Hai Lanzhu was also a head of water, and said: "Just now we followed a group of scholars and went in directly!" No one stopped you! ”
Something wrong with your character?
Na Haonan put a big question mark in his mind.
"Who are you?"
"Presumptuous!"
Ding Da Niu burst into a shout, and then all the guards suddenly showed their weapons.
Na Haonan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and said, "Don't panic, my son is here to receive the reward."
As he spoke, he took out the sign with the word dragon written on it. Said: "I recognize this word, I heard that a word is worth a thousand taels of silver, right?" ”
The head of the family came over, glanced at the words on the sign, and then looked at Deng Haonan. Deng Haonan is dressed as a scholar, and his long thin skin and tender flesh look like a literati.
So his face softened, and he said, "There was a group of people who made trouble just now, so they were offended!" Dare to ask your son's surname? ”
"Don't have your surname!"
"Deng Gongzi, Qian solemnly, you can't bring weapons in!"
Ding Da Niu was about to ask, Deng Haonan hurriedly waved his hand, knowing that there were many rights and wrongs in front of the Qian Zhuang, so he asked everyone to untie their weapons.
"Deng Gongzi, please!"
Jia Ding was sure that Di Haonan and his party were not hostile, so they were still very polite.
When I entered the Qian Zhuang hall, it was suddenly lively.
It turned out that people were staying here, and many scholars shook their heads and discussed the questions, and listened carefully, all about how to solve the mystery of the font.
Di Haonan smiled in his heart, if you can make simplified Chinese characters, then Lao Tzu will admire you to death.
Inside the hall, there are plenty of coffee tables! It seems that it is convenient for these scholars to discuss. One thousand taels of silver, for these down-and-out scholars. That's a lot of money.
In front of the counter, a me. The middle-aged man is sending away the people who are speculating one by one.
"Let's make it!"
Ding Da Niu led the guards to open the road left and right. was stunned to squeeze the crowd away, and left a lot of space for Deng Haonan and Hai Lanzhu. However, it also provoked protests from a group of scholars, but when they met the murderous eyes of the guards, they immediately shut up.
Xiucai meets soldiers!
The middle-aged shopkeeper began to pay attention to Deng Haonan and his party when they entered the door, and at first they looked worried, but they saw that Haonan was dressed as an ordinary scholar. A cadre of guards is also dressed in a different way, plus a woman in a bearded suit, not like the government, nor like the rivers and lakes, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This son, this young lady, I don't know
The shopkeeper's smiling face greeted him, and Di Haonan said with a smile: "I heard that Guiqian Zhuang is offering a reward, and if you recognize this word, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver?" ”
As soon as Hao Nan heard his voice, all the scholars suddenly stopped the commotion, pricked up their ears one by one, and looked at the counter.
"That's right!" The shopkeeper smiled: "It seems that Childe has an answer!" ”
Di Haonan stretched out his hand and took a piece of paper with the word dragon written on it from the side, stood in front of the shopkeeper with his backhand, and said, "Dragon!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this. Suddenly, his eyes looked at Di Haonan stupidly. "Hurry up and give the money, don't think about it!"
With a coquettish shout, Deng Haonan's eyebrows trembled, and his face was full of black lines.
I saw Hai Lanzhu patting the counter with both hands, as if the two silver pieces had become hers that year.
The shopkeeper recovered from surprise and hurriedly said, "How did Childe know?" ”
Na Haonan frowned, Ding Da Niu slammed the counter, and said, "Is this what you should ask?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized, and people took 1,000 taels of silver to Deng Haonan.
Weng's voice, the people in the hall suddenly cheated the pot, staring at the middle Haonan with disbelief on their faces. To know. They had been guessing for a long time, so long that there were more than a dozen old men among them. At one time, some people once suspected that the Swiss money bank deliberately created a "dinosaur age" to defraud.
The eyes of the crowd in the hall attracted Na Haonan. In the corner outside the crowd, two men with hats whispered to each other, and one of them quickly left.
At this time, the shopkeeper had already handed over a thousand taels of silver, but Deng Haonan didn't take it, but Hai Lanzhu held it in his arms, which made Deng Haonan cry and laugh.
"This son knows that no one can recognize this dragon character for two hundred years!"
"At least you know that!"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Since Childe recognized this word, I don't know if he is interested in continuing?" ”
Na Haonan said in his heart: The show is coming! So he nodded and said, "Then we have to see how attractive it is!" ”
The shopkeeper looked at Deng Haonan, and then at Na Haonan's guards, and asked, "The son doesn't seem to be short of money, I don't know why he came?" ”
Na Haonan smiled: "Find an old man!" ”
"Dare to ask the name of Childe's deceased?"
"Someone who can write like that!"
The shopkeeper's eyes were excited, and he said, "Son, wait a minute!" ”
Then the shopkeeper took out a note from behind the counter, handed it to Deng Haonan, and said, "Please continue!" ”
Na Haonan nodded and took a look.
The note reads: "Travel through time and space, just to witness the miracle of history." The wings are small, but they have a ripple effect! ”
Di Haonan smiled slightly, sure enough, he was a traverser. However, when he saw the witness of history, Deng Haonan understood in his heart that the person with his mother's surname was different from himself, and he relied on high technology to travel through, just to witness history, but he remained in history.
Looking at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper said: "If you understand, please write it, her name!" ”
Na Haonan nodded, the shopkeeper had already prepared the pen and ink, and Deng Haonan picked up the awkward brush. The word "butterfly" was written on the paper.
Hai Lanzhu leaned over, but she didn't recognize it.
The shopkeeper obviously didn't recognize it either, and hurriedly said, "Please wait!" With that, he took the note and turned behind the curtain.
Na Haonan calculated in his heart. This shopkeeper is not a traverser.
After a while, the shopkeeper returned to the counter and said excitedly: "This Deng Gongzi, my father is invited!" ”
Home tip
It turns out that the shopkeeper is also surnamed Feng!
Di Haonan and others followed the shopkeeper to a room in the back hall, where a rickety old man was kneeling and praying.
After seeing Na Haonan come in, the old man turned around.
I saw that his face was full of wrinkles, I am afraid that he is seventy or eighty years old!
"You may be seated!"
Na Haonan nodded and sat down on the side, Hai Lanzhu did it to the side, Ding Daniu stood behind Deng Haonan, and the other guards stayed outside.
"Old man Feng Rui!" The old man first said: "That son is destined to be a person, but he is next to you."
Di Haonan said: "They are my guards. No problem! As for her! ”
Di Haonan looked at Hai Lanzhu and suddenly smiled: "You just think she is air or chewing gum!" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is air?" What is chewing gum? ”
That Haonan just took the opportunity to test it. Seeing that the old man didn't understand, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly said that this old man was not a traverser, and it seemed that he might be a descendant of the person surnamed Feng.
So he smiled: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
The old man nodded and said, "That prince is two hundred years late, and Engong has long since passed away, leaving only this thing for us to keep!" He said that when someone destined to come to him in the future, he would give it to him. ”
Talking about what you just said. The shopkeeper carefully took a wooden box and handed it to Deng Haonan.
