Chapter 57 The Finances of the Imperial Court

Good rain knows the season, when spring happens, the continuous spring rain falls again, the thin rain drops on the ground, knocking on the tiles, playing different rhythms, Xie Yufei lying in front of the window listening to the melody that can calm her heart.

"Miss, why are you always in a daze today?" Xizhu asked without raising his head while doing embroidery work in his hands.

After waiting for a long time, it was the same as before, and I didn't pay attention to chatting with her.

Miss has been in a daze for a whole day, isn't she thinking about the third prince? Didn't you just see it yesterday?

Xizhu felt uncomfortable when he saw that Miss was like this, and asked stupidly, "Miss, don't you miss the third prince?" ”

"Shut up," Xie Yufei scolded.

Miss him? She didn't know if she missed him or not, she was replaying the picture of that night in her mind all day long, Xie Yufei reflected for a long time, and found that she didn't hate his kiss, did that prove that she liked him? I asked myself countless times but couldn't confirm it, or I didn't dare to admit it.

Xie Yufei lay on the windowsill all afternoon, unconsciously fell asleep, and didn't wake up until the evening, stretching his waist and twisting his sore neck.

"Cui, Miss is hungry, go and see if Xiaoqing's meal is ready!"

No one answered, and the two little girls weren't there...

Turning his head to take a look, he saw that Xia Yiyu was sitting there looking at himself all day...

Xie Yufei was shocked and hurriedly adjusted the lady with an indecent posture, "Your Highness? How long have you been here? ”

Xia Yiyu looked at her movements and was secretly funny, he had been watching her for more than an hour since he sat here, and he had seen even more ugly sleeping positions, but in his opinion, he only thought it was cute.

Xia Yiyu stood up and walked in front of her, squatted down, and looked up at her.

"It's still cousin!"

“………”

Xie Yufei only glanced at him, stood up and walked away, ignoring the scoundrel.

"I apologize for what happened yesterday, forgive me, okay?"

Xie Yufei glared at him and said angrily, "Cousin, why do you feel that you are becoming more and more brazen? ”

"I'll go first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow!" Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, seeing that she didn't seem to be angry, thinking of yesterday's scene, he couldn't hide his smug turn and leave, and immediately smiled when he stepped out of the door.

"Miss! The slave saw the three princes go out with a smile all the way... Why are the three princes so happy? "Xizhu is very strange, how can anyone laugh and can't even see someone calling him.

Xie Yufei shook his head and smiled bitterly, how can this guy still have the respect of a prince, and everyone is squatting in front of her, which is an incredible thing in feudal ancient times.

——————————————

In the Taiqing Palace, the Emperor of Great Xia Chao Tianzi sat in front of the imperial case and looked down at the folds on the desk, his brows were deeply locked, and his eyes were full of deep worry.

"Emperor Qiqi, the third prince is here." Gonggong Xiao walked to the imperial case and bowed.

"Hurry up!" Emperor Xiyuan perked up, raised his head and looked at it, and his brows stretched a little.

Xia Yiyu strode forward, stepped in, and walked to the front of the imperial case to pay respects, "Sons knock to see their father!" ”

"Hurry up, Emperor!" Emperor Xiyuan stepped off the desk and took his son's arm and pulled him up.

"Emperor, you are twenty years old, why don't you have any heirs? I need to give birth to a grandchild soon. Emperor Xiyuan looked his son up and down, as if to see if he had a secret disease.

Xia Yiyu's face was flushed and embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer... The father specially announced that he was in the audience for this matter?

Emperor Xiyuan walked back to the imperial table, picked up a book and handed it to him, and said, "The emperor has a look at this book, and I have something to ask you after reading it!" ”

Xia Yiyu took it with both hands and looked at it silently... After a long time, he closed the fold and stood respectfully waiting for Emperor Xiyuan to ask.

Emperor Xiyuan didn't speak, but slowly paced a few laps in the Taiqing Hall with his hands in his hands, and the quiet needle drop in the hall could be heard, which invisibly exerted a lot of pressure on Xia Yiyu, this is the mastery of the superiors, Emperor Xiyuan has already used the furnace perfectly, if it is a subordinate who makes a mistake, let Emperor Xiyuan shake a few times like this, and he has already been frightened into a cold sweat.

The great leaders of later generations are not the same as those of the ancient superiors, and the great leaders may hold the power of life and death of their subordinates?

Emperor Xiyuan stopped and sighed: "Does the emperor also think that my family is difficult to do after reading the twists?" Spending far more than income, only a few days later, the treasury has used up the salt and gold mines, and there are still places to spend that have not been shared, I want to do something without money to spare, I am anxious, so I come to the emperor to see what he can do to help me get through the difficulties! ”

Xia Yiyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately, he had been prepared with Yu Fei in the past few days, and guessed that his father would come to ask for advice.

Xia Yiyu cleared his throat before saying: "Father, the country's finances are nothing more than open source and throttle, this open source has already tried, offended a huge interest group, this throttling may also infringe on the interests of some people, obstruction and destruction will definitely occur, so it is not difficult to find a solution to the problem, the difficulty is difficult to implement, the obstruction of all forces, and the local yang and yin are violated." ”

Emperor Xiyuan frowned, and was a little displeased when he heard it at first, and when he heard that there was a way to say later, he immediately smiled and said: "I naturally know that it is very difficult, if you let the emperor be in charge of finance, what does the emperor want me to give you?" ”

Xia Yiyu's heart was pounding, his father wanted to give him real financial power, he tried his best to control his voice, and said in a flat tone: "Sword of the Son of Heaven"

"Huh! You can't ask me for the Son of Heaven Sword every time, you go back to the last copy of your plan and show it to me, and then I will consider whether to give you the Sword of the Son of Heaven! Obviously, Xia Yiyu's answer made Emperor Xiyuan dissatisfied, and he didn't see the case. Seeing that his son did not disobey his orders as he did last time, he returned to his previous style of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.

"Sons obey orders!" Xia Yiyu took the order.

"Hmmm! The emperor stepped down and wrote a detailed case and submitted it. Emperor Xiyuan was very satisfied with his son's performance, and he was very happy, and the matter in his heart was a little settled, so he couldn't wait to take a Jindan Zen Enlightenment Immortal Dao.

"Yu Fei, you said last time that the most profitable business is to open a money bank, so let's continue to discuss." Xia Yiyu hurried to Xie Yufei's mansion when he left the palace, which was the first time that his father had let a prince interfere in the six powers.

The Great Xia Dynasty already had the earliest bank, the cabinet shop, which was mainly engaged in the storage and lending of valuables, which was the predecessor of the money bank.

Of course, the word 'Qianzhuang' did not really appear until the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Unlike modern depositors, who deposit money, the bank has to pay the depositor's interest, and the 'depositor' has no interest at this time, and has to pay the counter storage fee

The existence of the cabinet shop made it possible for the merchants of the Great Xia Dynasty not to carry a large number of copper coins and silver ingots, which facilitated the trade activities of merchants from afar to withdraw money from other places and avoid trouble and danger.

There is also a kind of flying money, in which the merchant gives the money in advance to the Jinjuyuan (Beijing office) of a certain province where he will go in Chang'an, or gives it to a certain military government or an envoy, and the person concerned pays the merchant a scroll indicating the amount of flying money.

Merchants can leave Beijing lightly with the papers, and withdraw money from the documents after arriving at the destination, but they have to charge the merchants a certain "remittance fee".

"Cousin, are there all the shadows of powerful and officials behind the cabinet now? They colluded with each other to use the deposits collected from the counters to open gambling houses and put money in prints. ”

Xie Yufei pondered for a while and said, "We want to ban the entire Chang'an City Big Cabinet Workshop, and only keep the money village we opened." ”
