Or, at first, Ye Fu thought it was Helan Quan, so he got rid of him, and then he thought it was King Jingyang.

The interests between Ye Fu and Junzi Yun make her have to be cautious and submissive in the face of the relationship between the two.

Now that I have suddenly become a little enlightened, I suddenly feel that what I have done before is a little ridiculous.

Those personal spirits in the capital are really hiding it from her.

"Alas, I suddenly understand the hostility of the second princess towards me." Ye Fu was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeng Shidui smiled and cleaned up the pen and paper on the side.

"I heard Fu Di say, Mr. Zeng has been very busy in Yancheng these days, what are you doing?"

"Of course, I'm making money for the prime minister, and I want to fill those ten big boxes."

"Oh?" Ye Fu was quite surprised and wanted to ask, "I didn't know that Mr. Zeng was so good at making money." ”

"Then the prime minister must have a good understanding of Zeng's various skills." Zeng Shidui went out and turned left, took out a sandalwood box in his special study, and took out a stack of contract seals in front of Ye Fu, "Except for two or three wandering businesses, the rest of the merchants in Yancheng are all in the pocket." ”

Ye Fu took it, looked at it one by one, they were all the families and transactions of the major merchants in Yancheng, the more he looked at it, the more happy he was, and asked: "How did you convince them?" ”

"It's not difficult to convince, the premise is thanks to the constant pressure of the second princess. She knew that I was helping the prime minister contact and support, and she had made a lot of moths. ”

Because of the pressure from Junyue, those bosses who are not big or small in the middle feel the pressure and seek support one after another.

"Can this be used too?"

Zeng Shidui smiled and said mysteriously: "Under the nest, there are eggs." Zeng Mou just analyzed the danger for them and pointed out a clear way for them. ”

Ye Fu smiled and said: "Yes, yes, my bright road here is bright and spacious!" In the two forces of the second princess and Ji Cheng, one public and one private, just like the balance beam located on Yancheng's economy and trade, the people with small profits have been carefully seeking the balance in the middle, and it just so happens that the second princess is chasing after her again. If they take refuge in Ji Cheng, who has eighty percent of the power, they will offend the second princess, and taking refuge in the second princess is tantamount to cutting off their own way of working in the open and not being able to get a good reputation. And I who appeared at this time, this 'rich man' on the halfway, happened to be their excellent shade. ”

Who made her Yu Xiang's family have a big premise there? Ye Fu squinted and smiled, "What kind of attitude is the rest of the family?" ”

"The second princess's business is mainly gambling houses and **, and there are a group of old craftsmen in Yancheng, who usually live safely without fighting or grabbing, even if there is a fight above, it will not have much impact on them, these people, I can't say anything."

"Then let it go for the time being, such people are hard bones, and financial interests can't drive them, you have to grasp their leader, and I'll try to convince their leader after a while."

"Does the Prime Minister know who their leader is?"

"Of course." Ye Fu smiled mysteriously and took out a crystal clear Bai Jue from his sleeve, "In addition to these things you get, I have another mystery." ”

Zeng Shidui stared at it for a long time, saw the fame, and then smiled frankly: "Yujing Zhuang, the richest man in the capital." The prime minister really thought thoughtfully. ”

Ye Fu thought about it and sighed: "Come on, this is all Yu Xianggu's last move for me, when you return to the capital, remember to tell him that I can thank him." ”

Zeng Shidui smiled, and the two went back to their residences to wash and rest.

Ye Fu and his entourage stayed in Yancheng for more than two months, Fu Ji restaurant and pawnshop are operating impressively, plus it has been supported by most of the merchants, Fu Ji is famous in Yancheng, becoming an upstart, Fu Di turned into a shopkeeper is very busy, and a lot of money is making money!

At the right time, Ye Fu convened a meeting of all merchants and carried out the ten empty boxes.

The lobby was crowded with people, and when Ye Fu came out, they all stopped talking and looked over quietly.

Ye Fu was dressed in a black green suit, and his handsome face had a signature smile: "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

Everyone sat down, and the servants made tea and brought it up.

"I'd like to tell you two interesting facts today. When I left the capital, Yu Fuyin was afraid that I would not have enough money to spend, so he prepared two large boxes of silver for me to carry. I thought it was heavy, so I didn't ask for it. But now that I'm in Yancheng, I've started a business. Everyone is a smart person, and I know that this thing has to be invested, so I suddenly wanted those two big boxes of silver taels, and sent someone to Yu Fuyin to send a letter, what's wrong with everyone? ”

"I heard that the prime minister has a very good relationship with Yu Fuyin, and I think this silver has been sent over!"

"No, I didn't receive the money."

"Oh? Is it still on the way? ”

Ye Fu smiled, looked at the puzzled people, and took out a neatly trimmed paper from his sleeve: "This is the three thousand taels that Yu Fu Yin sent me back." ”

A few people who were close looked at the paper in Ye Fu's hand, and a smile overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "Prime Minister, this Yu Fu Yin is too stingy, you left the capital, it's not easy to speak?" Why did you get a random note to fool you? ”

Ye Fu raised his eyebrows and asked: "Eh? How is this fooling me? I see this note, it's three thousand taels! ”

Ye Fu didn't speak, and there was a sigh of discussion at the bottom, and I don't know what she was buying.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Fu asked people to pick up two burdens of money, and two big men carried a wooden barrel in their hands.

The crowd looked over, and there was a bucket in the burden full of coins that were now in use.

Ye Fu stabilized his voice and said indifferently: "How much do you think all this money adds up?" ”

A person who usually holds a business abacus stroked his mustache and said, "About three thousand taels." ”

Ye Fu nodded.

The mustache bent his eyebrows and smiled, showing a slight smug look.

"In Yancheng, without the housekeeper, I found that I needed to bring silver when I went out. But there are too many good things in your Yancheng, I want to buy everything when I see it, and every time I go out, Fudi complains that I buy too many things, and he needs to carry a load of money to be enough. ”

Everyone looked at Ye Fu's frowning appearance, and they all felt funny, and some people seemed to feel the same way, causing a burst of emotion.

Ye Fu saw that it seemed to have achieved an effect, and you threw out a question: "Do you think that my paper is three thousand taels simple, or is it three thousand taels that these people pick?" ”

Everyone hesitated, and one of the people sitting on the side retorted: "Prime Minister, the note in your hand can't be used as three thousand taels at all, no matter how simple it is, it's useless." ”

"What if I let it could?"

"This ...... Of course, it's convenient to use paper! We're worried sometimes, too! It's really not easy to send things to people, too much to be afraid of robbers, too little and troublesome! ”

Ye Fu smiled when he heard this, and ordered someone to open the ten boxes on the left and right, which were full of gold and silver.

Immediately, ten more boxes were moved in, and after opening, it was no longer a shining gold and silver, but a trimmed paper like Ye Fu's hands.

"This money is put by everyone here, and it is also Yu's net worth. What I want to say today is that I want you to lend me the courage to give gold, silver, copper and iron a righteousness. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I want to make these papers, instead of gold and silver, able to be used in commercial transactions, so that they can become real 'gold and silver'."

"This!" Ye Fu's words caused an uproar, and everyone discussed.

"How can a pile of paper replace gold and silver!"

"Could it be that the prime minister's business is fake, and it is true to deceive me and other money?"

"It's ridiculous!"

Some people became so emotional that they didn't choose what to say, and even left the table.

Fu Di was about to stop, Ye Fu waved his hand.

"You should know that the Ji County Keeper has entrusted me with all the political affairs, and my boxes were also taken out of the Yancheng treasury, and the things in them were also prepared by the Ji County Guard."

"So what?"

"At least it can be said that it belongs to the official family. I have ordered someone to stamp him with the seal of Luozi County, as long as an edict is issued, I say it can be 'genuine', it will do! ”

"The gold and silver in Yancheng are no longer worth much to the people, and I don't lack your money, what about ten million taels?"

When several people heard this, their faces changed. They are rich, Yancheng is rich, but in front of Yu Wuling, who is rich and rivals, it may really be nothing.

Someone was relieved and asked everyone's worries: "What does the prime minister mean?" ”

"I've already said that, it's up to you to agree or not. The edict will be issued tomorrow, and I will not force those who do not want to, the gold and silver are here, and they will be taken away. Those who agree, I have taken myself as a friend and conspired with the great cause. ”

Everyone looked at each other, thinking a lot in their hearts, and in the end, there were no two or three who retreated.

Ye Fu was very satisfied, and smiled at Zeng Shidui in the dark.

The next day, an edict issued in the name of the Ministry of Household Affairs was issued to the entire county seat of Luzi.

Ye Fu sent the banknotes in ten large boxes to the cooperative merchants, even if it was officially circulated in Yancheng.

In half a month, the people went from distrusting paper money, to exchanging it, to trying, and finally to use it in the streets and alleys.

Another two months, due to the influence of Yancheng, Ye Fu let Zeng Shidui to the major counties of Luzi County to promote the use of paper money. Except for the group of people in Junyue, the resistance is negligible.

And Junyue is not having a good time here, there is a lot of gold and silver in his hand, but it is rotten in his hands under the paper money offensive of Ye Fu and everyone.

When you buy things from people, everyone uses paper money.

But Junyue is not in circulation, and the receipt of paper money is equivalent to waste paper, so the transaction is not established and the business cannot be done!

In the end, I can only seek advice from some self-sufficient, even cross-county merchants. However, in this way, the cost is more, the goods are not fresh, or the cost is high and the profit is less.

After a long time, the people who followed Junyue couldn't sit still and had opinions one after another.

In the Golden Bottle Curie, a table of people at Junyue is planning.

"The prime minister has been here in Yancheng for half a year, and the trick he has done is really amazing."

"I heard that Ji Cheng, who was hiding in the next county, is also coming back soon, so the plan he made secretly will also be brought to the surface, and we will still have to turn over at that time?"

One person questioned Junyue one by one, and the princess's temper was not very good, and she slammed the cup on the table: "What do you want me to do?!" ”

"What an ignorant woman!" A man got up and left in displeasure.

The rest of the people didn't move.

"She Yu Wuling didn't dare to do too much." Junyue knew that her attitude was not good, so she softened her tone slightly and discussed it with everyone.

"Her banknotes can operate, and she must also rely on strong financial support behind her, otherwise why can people exchange the top two in the entire city at will!"

"The princess has a point."

"I heard that Yu Xianggu in the capital secretly gave a lot of support, and even the household department was also supporting, which my father didn't know."

"Not necessarily. How can an official document of the Ministry of Household be considered effective without His Majesty's approval? ”

Jun Yue frowned when he heard this: "Then I'll let my brother clean up those who stretched out his dog's legs to help!" ”

Xie Zhiwen and the others are all large merchants in Yancheng, they looked at the ruthless Junyue, and got the promise of the prince, which can be regarded as stopping, waiting for the news.

And Ye Fu here, Ji Cheng returned to the city.

As expected by Xie Zhiwen and others, Ji Cheng just came back, and a lot of new regulations came out, with Ye Fu's business and popularity, the transactions in the business were rectified, and everyone followed them one by one when it was profitable, bringing up a blue sky.

Ye Fu hooked a big pen, found a piece of land in a quiet place outside the city, occupied the residence, and asked Ji Chenghua to pull a few gentlemen to set up a college.

As a laborer, Zeng Shidui naturally couldn't escape the fate of being oppressed and enslaved.

Ye Fu wanted to find Ji Cheng to arrange some affairs, but he didn't see him in the yamen, and he didn't look at it when he went to the house.

Ye Fu stood and thought about it, and asked Fudi to drive to Gu Hui's tavern, and sure enough, he found someone.

The two of them were drunk in the yard, still with bottles and cans.

Ye Fu picked up a clay pot and sniffed: bamboo leaves are green, clear and intoxicating, these two people can really enjoy it.

"Ji Junshou, I cleaned up your mess for you, how much are you going to pay me?"

"Eh, this is the prime minister's internal affairs passing through here, how can he take care of the officials and ask for compensation."

"Hey! I haven't seen you for a few months, and you're out of your head? ”

"Originally...... Very neat. ”

Gu Hui didn't understand anything, but he nodded in agreement!

Ye Fu took the bench and sat there, watching the two drunkards who had been reunited for a long time chatter.

"Why don't you have two bottles? Gu Hui's brewed is delicious! Isn't it? ”

"Yes!" Fans surnamed Gu strongly agreed with the words of the idol surnamed Ji!

Ye Fu smiled: "I don't like to drink." ”

"And a small bite?"

Ye Fu glanced at the two people who were drunk and hazy, took a sip of the wine jug, and it was slightly spicy in his throat.

"Ahem." Ye Fu wiped his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and then stopped drinking.

Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows and muttered: "My father said that people who don't drink are always smart, and so is he, he likes wine but doesn't drink." ”

"Why?" Mr. Gu Hui, who is usually Sven, asked with red cheeks.

"Dad said that drinking alcohol will make people not clear their minds and do wrong things. So even if you like it, you can't numb yourself because of that appetite. That's why my mother praised my father for his clever brains! I didn't expect to be praised by the prime minister today! ”

Ye Fu looked at the triumphant Ji Cheng, an older young man in his thirties, it is not easy to live so young.

Ye Fu walked to the tavern outside to guard the business, watching the sunrise and sunset of the day, and the people rested.

The situation in Yancheng is about to start changing.
