Chapter 656: Specializing in the Ministry of Commerce
Although they didn't sleep well in the carriage, everyone was a little excited, and after breakfast, they went straight out.
This town is on the banks of the Yong'an River, called River Town, which is closer to the capital, and it is equivalent to them returning a third of the distance in one night.
The town of Hedao is very prosperous, and the cement is also sold.
However, the smooth cement road, the black eaves gray walls, and the antique houses and buildings always feel a little incompatible, and the bluestone road is more pleasing to the eye. Yan Shiyue looked at it with anxiety in her heart, thinking that after a thousand years, she might be scolded......
Fortunately, only the main road is paved, and many small streets that are not often passed by cars still retain their original appearance, and the scenery is not destroyed.
But in the eyes of others, they think that such roads are much more convenient and beautiful.
From time to time on the road, there are Yuwen cars passing by, just a few years, there are already people who specialize in this industry, it seems that the two thighs are particularly thick, and they are also very skilled, and sometimes you can meet the repair shop of Yuwen cars on the side of the road.
Yan Shiyue looked ahead.
Because it was difficult to hide what the eunuch said, Emperor Ming Yan didn't bring Gu Jiuxing out, so he chatted with Prince Chun and Xu Wenqu while walking in front, looking very interested.
Emperor Ming Yan is dressed very richly, and Prince Chun has a modest temperament, and Xu Wenqu is also gentle, both of them are wearing scribe robes, and it is not against the harmony to pretend to be talented.
Yan Shiyue's appearance has changed slightly, Wei Xin is still a maidservant, of course Huo Qijing is with her, only Zhao Kuangyin is in front of her, and she can't see where to go for a long time.
Yan Shiyue whispered as she walked: "I don't know if the shadow guards are following tightly, it's a little difficult for the three of us to protect the three of them!" Ajing, if there is something, you are responsible for protecting Aye, and Weixin is responsible for protecting ...... Mr. Xu, Prince Chun, I will protect you. ”
She also comforted them: "Don't worry, you will meet a ruffian in this kind of place, and nothing big will happen." ”
Huo Qijing made a big beard, looked a lot more mature all of a sudden, his eyes kept sweeping in the crowd, and said: "Ruffian, I'll let you beat all of them, see if your kung fu is put aside." He glanced at her as he spoke.
Yan Shiyue was not intimidated by Director Huo this time: "Leave it aside!" Isn't it to give you a son? ”
He laughed: "Okay, I'll fight." ”
"No!" She said, "Let me come!" ”
That being said, however, there were no ruffians.
The group had been leisurely strolling until noon, went to the restaurant for dinner, and went to the opera garden in the afternoon.
The trader was involved with Ren Zenan because he had expected before, and the people didn't know about the imperial court, with such a sense of secrecy, this drama was a mess, and there were opera troupes singing everywhere.
After hearing a few folds of the trader's house, everyone returned to the temporary house peacefully, and nothing happened.
Yan Shiyue was very disappointed: "There is nothing, there is no one who steals money bags, no one who robs people's daughters, and no one who sells himself to bury his father!" It's not interesting at all! ”
I knew it was so boring, she wouldn't come, let her go back to see the child!
Since Xiao Tuanzi was born, they have never been separated for so long, I really miss them!
Xu Wenqu said with a smile: "The emperor came to the palace to escape the summer, and the officials along the way are all tight!" ”
Prince Chun also said: "We just came out to see the customs and customs, and we didn't come out to find trouble." Peace is good! ”
Emperor Ming Yan glanced at her with a smile: "Yue'er, I ask you, the treasury case, but there are still suspicious points to investigate?" ”
Why did you suddenly ask about the treasury case?
Yan Shiyue was stunned: "Suspicious? She thought hard, "What's the doubt?" Aren't all cases closed? ”
Emperor Ming Yan glared at her: "You haven't thought about it, where did the fake ingots come from?" ”
He paused: "I have asked people to see, the fake ingots are obviously not minted at one time, the age of the top has changed with the treasury silver, and such a large amount is obviously not caused by a short period of time, but the shadow guard tracked down this vicinity, and the clue was broken, and it has not been found." ”
Emperor Ming Yan paused: "I was originally thinking, if this is just for the sake of fooling around, and taking care of the treasury, if you can't find it, you won't be able to find it...... Until, the shadow guard discovered the real fake ingots. ”
He turned around and beckoned, and someone sent one, the difference is that the fake ingots of the treasury are hollow, very light when you take it, and deflated when you pinch it, but this one is heavy.
Yan Shiyue was taken aback, and asked someone to take a real ingot, and compared it carefully, it was very similar, she buckled the tea bowl upside down, and tried it with a fan as a balance, and the weight was actually about the same!
Emperor Ming Yan said: "There is a kind of sand in it. It can't be twisted, but at first glance, it's not much of a difference. ”
He paused: "When I got it, I was thinking, if it is fake silver in the treasury, is it this kind of fake silver, can it be deceived for a longer time?" ”
"That's right," Yan Shiyue suddenly said: "I remember, the second brother said that you ordered all the silver in the treasury to be wrenched and recast, was that time?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan nodded, and Yan Shiyue said, "Is there no one in the treasury?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan nodded again, Yan Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "So, it's the people here who don't have the demand from the treasury, so they have come up with a better way to counterfeit?" ”
Emperor Ming Yan shook his head: "It shouldn't be, the time shouldn't be so short." ”
"Then why hasn't it been exposed?"
Yan Shiyue finished asking, and came back to his senses: "Yes, the folk actually rarely use ingots, and those who use ingots are all big in and out, unless they are twisted when they are used, they can't be found, and generally big in and out don't care much about silver, so it's not exposed?" ”
"No," Emperor Ming Yan said: "If you really use it at will, it will definitely not be able to keep it secret, even if you are rich, if you handle the silver money, and if you encounter fake silver, you will definitely be investigated to the end, otherwise this shortage of silver is not the back of the person who handles it?" There was one out of ten, and it was a fuss. ”
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but widen her eyes: "You mean to say that this silver is made for a specific purpose?" ”
She gasped: "It won't be specifically for our Ministry of Commerce, right?" Through our hands and then into the treasury? ”
Emperor Ming Yan smiled: "They shouldn't have such courage yet, and the Ministry of Commerce, or the Ministry of Commerce, or the Ministry of Trade, have only been in operation for a few days?" But my people have not found out where it came from or what it was used for. ”
Yan Shiyue's eyes widened: "Aye, it sounds weird and scary, then you still come out!" What if it's in danger! ”
"It's okay," Emperor Ming Yan said: "I just came out to see the customs, and this matter is just handled in passing." ”
"Then you should go elsewhere to see!" Yan Shiyue is still not at ease: "This kind of thing, leave it to me!" I'll find out for you! ”
Emperor Ming Yan smiled: "I know that you will definitely be able to find out for me, so I called you, this lucky lady!" By the way, it was handled, not very good. ”
Yan Shiyue persuaded for a long time, but Emperor Ming Yan just didn't allow it, he happened to be tired yesterday, and after dinner, he went to bed early, and the next day he used breakfast and still wandered around.
This time, Yan Shiyue and Emperor Ming Yan got closer, and not long after they came out, they suddenly heard a man's voice on the side of the road say in a deep voice: "A bowl of soup cakes, add two spoons of marinade." ”
Yan Shiyue's heart was shocked, and she suddenly turned around.
