Seeing that the Earl had confessed, He Ti announced a temporary adjournment and asked Li Zhixian and Zhou Shoubei to discuss and close the case. The three of them entered the back hall, Ximenqing waited there one step earlier, and as soon as the four of them gave up their hands, Ximenqing smiled and said: "Brother Longxi fought so happily today, but he helped my brother take a good breath!" ”

Xia Tixing said with a smile: "You have to work slightly, Brother Siquan doesn't have to take it to heart, it will seem that you and I are not a grandfather!" ”

Zhou Xiu said hatefully: "It's a pity that one cloud left the guard!" ”

Ximen Qing persuaded him: "The mountains don't turn around, one day, let him meet on a narrow road without avoidance!" At that time, the new and old accounts were added up with interest, so he knew that I was very powerful! Brother Nanxuan doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Li Zhixian said with a smile: "I have avenged Brother Siquan today, but tomorrow I will go to Siquan Mansion, so that I can ask Brother Nanxuan for a cup of wine!" ”

Xia Tixiao clapped his hands: "That's right! I'll go out and send that little man, let's go and prepare for the happy event! Brother Siquan, what do you think? If I want to be strict, I will put this villain in prison and wait for the boss to return to Japan to finalize the case; If you don't want to bother with that, this sentence will be pronounced in court, and their property will be wiped out! ”

Ximenqing nodded and said: "Wouldn't it be a sin to send an official document to the mansion and alarm the prefect?" Let's leave it at that! Although Brother Longxi copied the furniture of these dogs, the brothers who contributed to the Yamen and the Garrison Mansion today were divided equally, and each of them probably had a few dollars. This evening, I let go of another ox and pulled a cart of good wine, so that the children could have a good meal, and they also gave me a cheer for Ximenqing. ”

Li Zhixian nodded: "Good!" ”

Xia Tixing smiled: "That's it! ”

The discussion has been decided, Xia Tixing, Li Zhixian, and Zhou Shoubei will be promoted to the hall again, and the villains who are slightly injured and who are slightly injured are all prostrated under the case, and Ximenqing's family members are also kneeling next to them to make up the numbers. In front of the people, He Ti was sentenced: "The plaintiff Simon is a great official who is benevolent and righteous, and he reads his usual feelings, and these villains have failed to blackmail, so they will no longer pursue the case, and they can be dealt with lightly." ”

Pointing to a group of villains, He Ti shouted: "Since the Ximen officials are kind and soft-faced, they will be cheap for you today!" It stands to reason that everyone should also receive a board to close the case, but the Ximen officials are merciful, how can this official not have good intentions? This board, and send it here, if you dare to make a storm in the future, then the two crimes will be punished together, and you will be killed! ”

At the moment, he ordered the platoon army to escort this villain and go to each house to recover the stolen goods, this is a matter of how much money the platoon army has, who is willing to let go of these villains? One by one, they scraped the ground, milked cows in the grass, squeezed oil from the stones, and cleaned these little people's homes inside and out. If you really can't get it, you are forced to sell your house and land, and even sell your children and daughters, so that the family will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and the flesh and blood will be separated. When the people next to them saw it, they couldn't help but sigh: "Alas! But he couldn't help but spit out: "Yes!" ”

There was even a poor sour man who recited the mocking song: "Don't deceive your heart, justice is evident from time." Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, only to fight for early and late! ”

After this fate, Sun Widowzui and Xie Xida have become lost dogs, and they can't stop worrying, and they all have a headache when they hear the word "Ximen". Only Earl Naying was deeply hated, and secretly thought: "Ximen Qing! Even if you are the reincarnation of the Celestial Star, the Celestial Star will also be ruined! One day, I will teach you to commit it in my hands, and then I will let you know how powerful Ying Er is! ”

There are many such villains in the world, and it is natural for him to hurt people; How can anyone sin against him? Earl Ying is the champion of this kind of villain, the leader of the traitors, thinking that the hatred of the broken legs is not shared, and since then he has secretly gritted his teeth against Ximenqing, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate without mentioning it.

Ximen Qing beat this villain happily, his heart was beautiful, and he secretly thought: "Yueniang, she was fed up with this villain's bullying that day, and today she will be happy when she hears that they have suffered retribution." Therefore, I only pushed to go home to take care of Zhou Xiu's employment tomorrow, said goodbye to Li, Xia, and Zhou, and went home with Lai Baoxiao.

When I went home, I saw that there was Laiwang, the guys in charge of the crude medicine shop, Second Uncle Fu and Ben Si, who had been waiting for a long time. It turned out that Laiwang was in charge of auctioning the local kitchen star cakes in front of the county yamen in the past two days, and not only the people in Qinghe County flocked to it, but even the rich people in the nearby prefectures and counties heard about it, and they also sent their families to ride mules and horses to bid, and in two days, they easily earned more than 1,000 yuan.

Although the wind and sun are blowing, the people in Laiwang are black and thin, but their faces are still full of joy, and he has been deeply fascinated by this kind of day when he picks up a wooden hammer to make decisions for others. Zuihou Laiwang said that because of the adoption of the purchase restriction strategy, the rich and noble people have a lot of complaints, hoping that the two star owners can be considerate of the people's feelings and can accept their reservations.

When Ximen Qing heard this, he had an idea, and ordered Ju An to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After getting it, Ximenqing wrote four big characters "forward contract" in the center on a large piece of paper, and then wrote down the same content and standardized text on the left and right to buy and sell items: merit cooking cake; Quantity: five; Price: Each merit cake is made consistently, a total of five times; Transaction Date: The expected date of a certain year, month and day in the future.

After the writing was completed, Ximenqing took out his seal, covered it in the middle of the paper, and then folded it, and it became a veritable riding seal, and then he smiled at Laiwang, Second Uncle Fu, and Ben Si who were confused: "You see, as long as you tear this paper left and right, it is a transaction contract in duplicate." The left union remained in the hands of Simon's family and set up this record; The right link can be used as evidence by allowing the person to pay the deposit and take it away. When the delivery date of the cooking cake arrives, the buyer can come to my Ximen Mansion with the right link to deliver, a pair on the spot, if the sewing seal is correct, pay the full money, take the merit of the cooking cake and leave, we are recognizing the chapter and not recognizing the person! Wouldn't that be inconvenient? That's right! Brother Wudao must also engrave a seal and cover it in the middle of this paper, so that one can be anti-counterfeiting, and the other enhances the power of merit of the cooking cake, which is killing two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds! ”

Under the impact of this novel trading system, Laiwang, Second Uncle Fu, and Ben Si were all dumbfounded and speechless. The second uncle Fu was an old man, so he asked cautiously: "Big official, you said that the person who takes the right alliance must pay a deposit, but I don't know what this deposit is?" ”

Ximenqing explained: "The so-called deposit is the handling fee charged by our Ximen family, otherwise the cost of these pen, ink, paper and inkstone will not be posted by my Ximenqing?" Of course, this contract can't be written like this, just write that this deposit is specially designed for the performance of the contract, if we can't hand over the merit cake when it expires, 100 times the compensation! ”

Second Uncle Fu broke the casserole and asked: "Then how much should this deposit be charged?" ”

Ximenqing scratched his head: "This ...... Let's put it aside for now, let's discuss it! ”

Turning his head, he saw Lai Wang's face depressed, and Ximen Qingqi said: "Why are you so depressed? ”

Lai Wang said with a bitter face: "If I have this 'forward contract', I won't be able to make a living from this auction!" Everyone has this piece of paper in their hands, and when the time comes, they can just come and get the cooking cakes, how easy is it? Who's going to squeeze a stinky sweat just to auction off a pancake or two? ”

Ximen Qing shook his head leisurely: "Wrong! At that time, it was not the cooking cake that was auctioned, but this contract! ”

"Huh?!" Laiwang and the others glanced at each other, and then they woke up like a dream.

Ximenqing didn't expect that he was just a rough contract that was improvised and actually laid the foundation for futures trading in the Northern Song Dynasty in the future. After his paper contract was spread to the shopping malls of the Northern Song Dynasty, its influence continued to deepen, and the number of imitators became more and more popular. With the standardization of various forward contracts, coupled with the continuous improvement of the margin system, the hedging mechanism derived from the continuous transfer of standardized contracts between holders, and the unified settlement system established by Zuihou in order to standardize management, the futures market in the Northern Song Dynasty has been continuously pushed to a new height.

When he arrived in Zuihou, Ximenqing was actually promoted by later generations as the "father of Northern Song Dynasty Futures", but this honor was something he never expected. This is exactly what it is:

The flowing water on the beach is not intentional, and the white clouds are unintentional. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
