Chapter 621: Thoughts Float
The emperor read the letter carefully, got up excitedly and turned around twice, he was a little uneasy, and took out the letter again to read it carefully.
He licked his lips nervously, and wanted to invite someone in to discuss it now, but thinking of the hardships of all these years, he endured it again.
Zhao Hanzhang is right, this matter should be slowly figured out.
The emperor quieted down, and waited until the next day to summon a few of his henchmen and Zhao Zhongyu.
He quietly asked them, "Yan Heng was killed by General Gou, did the people around him go to mourn a lot?" ”
Several ministers didn't understand why the emperor mentioned this, it had been several days, and Yan Heng had turned into ashes, but there was still a humane: "It should be a lot, didn't Zhao Shangshu go that day?" ”
Yan Heng died in the hands of Gou Xi, except for the generals who had a good relationship with him, no one went to mourn, and only Zhao Zhongyu went to the ministers of the central government.
They weren't familiar with Yan Heng.
The emperor immediately looked at Zhao Zhongyu and asked with concern, "I don't know who it is, what is the situation?" ”
Zhao Zhongyu also felt strange and didn't understand why the emperor was interested in this matter, but he still said seriously: "The funeral was presided over by Ming Pre, General Wen, General Pei and General Wang all came to mourn in person, and General Fu, who couldn't come back, also sent adjutant generals to come over to condole. ”
Seeing that the emperor listened carefully, Zhao Zhongyu described it in detail, mainly some of the words they said when they mourned, including many complaints about Gou Xi.
Talking, speaking, Zhao Zhongyu seemed to feel something, and vaguely guessed the emperor's original intention.
Several of the other ministers who were in attendance also understood, looked at each other, sat up straight, and thought about the feasibility of this matter.
"Your Majesty also thinks that General Gou has done something wrong in this matter?"
The emperor glanced at Zhao Zhongyu and sighed: "When Yan Heng was taken into the General's Mansion, I once issued an order to let General Gou Nian let him live in his friendship in the past, but I didn't expect it to be too late. ”
Zhao Zhongyu immediately said: "Yes, Yan Heng has followed General Gou for many years, and he has no merit and hard work, not to mention that this time it is for persuasion and for General Gou's good, General Gou really shouldn't kill him because of this." ”
Needless to say, the next words were obvious, and the emperor said: "I heard that Mr. Ming is seriously ill and bedridden, Gu Qing, you can take a doctor to see Mr. Ming and persuade him to be happy." ”
Ming Yu is a staff member, relying on Gou Xi, and there is no military power in his hands, the emperor naturally does not want to compete with Gou Xi for Ming Pre, but to give Gou Xi's generals an attitude and do it for them.
After seeing the Ming Forecast, he can send someone to comfort the generals who feel sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox this time.
The emperor worked hard and quietly dug into Gou Xi's corner, while Zhao Hanzhang released his new money openly.
Her new money was printed in large quantities.
Baskets of copper coins were sent to the treasury, and then they traded with themselves, taking out pearls, precious stones, porcelain, etc., which were about to fall to ashes, and exchanged them for copper coins after roughly calculating the price.
These things would be divided into several parts and handed to the caravan to take to the field to trade.
In addition, Zhao Kee Pawnshop was officially opened.
Zhao Hanzhang directly occupied three shops, oh, these three shops were originally owned by the Zhao family, and they were still the dowry left to her by Zhao Changyu back then, and later she changed it to Zhao Zhongyu, went around and around, and now it is back to her.
The reason why the three pawnshops connected together are so big is because Luoyang has little money, and there are many people who need to exchange money.
Zhao Hanzhang asked people to post an announcement, saying that from today onwards, the transactions in the bazaar should be mainly copper coins, and if you don't have money, you can take things to the pawnshop to mortgage for money.
In the process of bartering, merchants may suffer losses, and individuals may also suffer losses, and everyone feels that they have lost, even if they change things, they are most likely in a bad mood.
In the past, because he had no money and wanted copper money, Zhao Hanzhang had to let the caravan go out far away and sell the goods for money.
But on the return trip, only money was pulled and lost, so the caravan would only leave a small part of the money, and most of the rest would be exchanged for grain and cloth to be pulled back and sold.
But because Luoyang has little money, in addition to money, they can always receive all kinds of things and want to barter.
If the caravan is a pure caravan, they can say domineeringly that they don't want to change it, as long as the money.
But they are not, these caravans are all organized by Ji Yuan, with the name of Zhao Hanzhang, so they also have the nature of a little duke.
If even Zhao Hanzhang was unwilling to barter food for the people, then they would have no way to live.
So, the caravan can always get back a mess of things that can be used, or can't be used.
If you don't need something, you can only ship it out again, but this time and again, it will take at least 20 days, and the return of funds is particularly slow.
Now that Zhao Hanzhang makes his own money, he omits the intermediate link, and even the caravan doesn't have to be so painful.
When they left this time, in addition to bringing all kinds of goods, they could also bring two truckloads of new money to buy goods in other places.
The new money was exchanged, there was more money in the market, and Zhao Hanzhang walked out on the street again, and there were fewer voices of quarrels because of the inability to negotiate barter.
Zhao Kuan's workload has plummeted, and he no longer has to work overtime until late at night every day.
Therefore, on this day, he had time to have dinner with Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Erlang, and Zhao Yunxin.
At the dinner table, it was brother and sister, not Thorn Shi and the county order, so he exhaled and said to Zhao Hanzhang with a big grin: "Because of the new money, the people who have been beaten to the county government recently because of transaction disputes are gone." ”
He said: "If you know what you can solve with money, you should have made money earlier." ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "Eighty percent of the things in this world can be solved with money, what you said is that you think there is a lot of money outside." ”
Zhao Kuan said relaxedly: "I didn't have it before, but now I don't have it?" Let Tinghan cast more. ”
"How can money be cast casually," Zhao Hanzhang said: "How much money is minted must be calculated, if you cast money uncontrollably, the market will collapse." ”
Zhao Erlang didn't understand this, so he only asked, "Sister, now that you have money, can you pay the military salary?" ”
"No," Zhao Hanzhang said depressedly: "The money in the money shop is not mine, my money is only the ones in the treasury." ”
Zhao Erlang looked at Fu Tinghan, "Brother-in-law, then can you lend money to Sister A, and pay us military salaries first?" ”
Fu Tinghan smiled: "The money is not mine." ”
Zhao Erlang glared, "Why is it not yours, it is clearly cast by you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang felt that he had to explain the ownership of the money, and he couldn't eat this meal tonight, so he simply asked, "What do you want military pay for?" ”
Zhao Erlang doesn't have much desire for money except for shiny jewelry, and the army eats and shelters, and occasionally runs back to her to fight tooth sacrifices, and he doesn't want money at all.
