The servant agreed, and someone had already entered the house to spread the word.

Li Yu came to the side hall of Zhou's mansion and waited for Miss Zhou to come over and return to Zhouzong's house.

His Royal Highness Zhiliu, a servant of the Zhou Mansion, had a good relationship with the young lady, and the master was quite close to Li Yu, so someone served refreshments early.

Li Yu drank less than a cup of tea, and Miss Zhou came to the side hall.

"It is really gratifying that His Highness has returned safely." Miss Zhou came to Li Yu at this moment, and said with a little blessing.

"With Miss Lao's concern, this trip to Chizhou is considered to be dangerous." Li Yu sighed, his expression a little gloomy.

If he wanted to be reborn and came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the first major thing was not done, which cannot but be said, and it was one thing that he regretted very much.

Miss Zhou smiled, sat on the chair next to her, picked up a cup of tea cup in her slender hand, and gently twisted the lid of the cup: "Your Royal Highness Six, I heard that this trip was very unsmooth, the silver taels were lost, and the military quartermaster was damaged, so this kind of thing should not be accidental." ”

"It's true, but there is no evidence, nothing to check, and I can only admit it." Li Yu shook his head and sighed, with a bitter expression.

"How did the court deal with it?" Miss Zhou's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed with a bright look.

"My father ordered me and General Tang to make up for the losses within three months." Li Yu said with emotion, he was actually a little confused in his heart, although he had some general ideas, but he had to implement them.

Miss Zhou nodded, although she was extremely intelligent, she wanted to make up for the huge wealth within three months, and she was helpless.

"Can His Highness the Sixth have a good way to accumulate wealth in a short period of time?" Miss Zhou frowned and thought for a long time, but finally couldn't think of a way, so she asked Li Yu.

"There are ideas, but they must be discussed with Da Situ after he comes back." Li Yu took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the coffee table before answering.

"Sixth Highness, is there anything you want to discuss with the old man?" Li Yu's words fell, and Zhou Zong's voice came from outside the door, and soon, Zhou Zong came to the hall.

Zhou Zong had just returned to his home at this time, and his court clothes had not yet changed.

Seeing Zhou Zong walk into the room, the two people in the room hurriedly stood up, Miss Zhou walked over with a smile, grabbed Zhou Zong's arm, and laughed coquettishly: "Dad, you are really slow to come back, and the Sixth Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Didn't you talk to a bunch of old foxes for a while, the matter is all on the Sixth Highness, so come back later, you go down first, I will have a good talk with the Sixth Highness, and see if there is a way to help him tide over the difficulties." Zhou Zong patted the back of Miss Zhou's hand and said softly to his daughter.

Miss Zhou smiled and nodded, she knew that her father wanted to discuss things with Li Yu, and it was inconvenient for one of her daughters to be here, so she turned around and left and went back to her boudoir.

Zhou Zong saw Miss Zhou go back to the room, smiled and let Li Yu sit down, went back to the room by himself, changed his clothes, and then came to the hall.

After Zhou Zong sat down, he smiled at Li Yu: "Your Royal Highness's trip to Chizhou is really dangerous, although it is not dangerous to come back, but it is not easy to make up for the loss." ”

Li Yu took a deep breath and muttered: "Now I have some ideas, and I came here to hear Zhou Situ's opinion." ”

"Your Highness Six, please speak." Zhou Zong nodded, he knew that Li Yu was very smart, since before going to Chizhou, Zhou Zong felt that the Sixth Highness in front of him seemed to be a different person.

"I have the intention of selling something that no one has ever done before, and replacing today's metal money with paper money, so as to amass wealth, and it is estimated that it will not take three months to make up for the loss." Li Yu smiled, his tone was gentle, but full of confidence.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Zhou Zong's eyes flashed with confusion, after all, he is not a person who has experienced the modern economy, and he does not understand much about what Li Yu said about paper money, or the problem of sales, so he looked at Li Yu in great confusion, hoping that he could explain it clearly.

Of course, Li Yu knew that Zhou Zong would not understand, but he could not explain some things about economics and even bank money so clearly, so he could only explain it in the simplest and most intuitive words.

"We only need to make paper money, and use paper money to arbitrage the silver in the hands of the people, and then achieve the corresponding wealth accumulation." Li Yu explained.

Zhou Zong listened to Li Yu's words, pondered for a moment, raised his head, and stared at Li Yu's eyes: "Saying this is equivalent to exchanging paper for silver, but will the people agree?" ”

"If it is operated in the name of the imperial court, the people will agree, and as long as this form of currency is recognized by our government, and in the case of exchanging silver, the people will be welcomed by the people with more paper money and a certain amount of interest." Li Yu said with confidence.

When Zhou Zong heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he pondered for a long time, "This method is indeed feasible, but I don't know if His Majesty can agree, if you change the currency model, you will inevitably need Your Majesty's consent, so I think it's a little difficult." ”

"It's just an idea, and on the other hand, I'm going to make some hand-rolled cigarettes for smokers." Li Yu said with a smile.

The cigarette roll that Li Yu said was actually the kind he smoked before his modern rebirth, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although there were people who smoked dry tobacco, but the cigarette roll was unique in that era.

The name "Cigarette Roll" fell into Zhou Zong's ears, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at Li Yu like a monster.

Because Zhou Zong didn't understand, what was a cigarette, this term was the first time he had heard it.

"It's the kind of cigarette that you can smoke without a cigarette pouch or a cigarette stick." Li Yu said, gesturing with his hand to look at the cigarette roll, which meant to tell Zhou Zong that this kind of thing is very fashionable and quite practical.

However, Zhou Zong still couldn't figure it out, he looked at Li Yu with some confusion, what was going on in his mind with this Sixth Highness in front of him, how did he think of these strange things.

Li Yu smiled bitterly, Zhou Zong didn't understand that of course he understood, it seemed that he could only do practical things, with the real thing, this old antique at the level of the prime minister of the dynasty could be enlightened.

"Da Situ, please help me prepare some vehicles, I want to buy some tobacco, make some cigarettes and roll them out, and then you will know what I said." Li Yu smiled.

Zhou Zong nodded, he was confused, and he really needed to see the real thing to understand what Li Yu said, so he agreed to Li Yu's request, and quickly ordered people to go down, get a cart, and go to purchase tobacco and various items that Li Yu needed.
