After saying goodbye to the little girl, Qingji and Fan Li walked on the street again.

"King, you are really ashamed to report the name of your minister."

Fan Li smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what the three of them said. If the people of the country know that I Fan Li bought a girl in the bazaar, I don't know how to arrange it, and I am afraid that I will be trapped in injustice. ”

It turned out that Fan Li was afraid that he would be haunted by "Peach Blossom News"!

Also, people's words are terrifying, Fan Li, as one of the nine secretaries of Wu Guoqing, has a history of governing Su, and his actions will inevitably attract attention.

As a doctor, buying a few beautiful women is nothing, but it is very likely that others will catch Fan Li's "weakness", as if the world thinks that Wu Wangqing is a good wife.

Fan Li himself doesn't have that kind of need, but everyone is so golden, he can't wash it when he jumps into the Yellow River!

"Hahahaha, young uncle, people are not romantic boys! You are in the prime of life, and you are already at the age when you should start a family, even if you don't marry a wife temporarily, it is still good to have a few more slaves and maids to serve you. ”

Qingji quipped with interest.

Fan Li hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "King, the reason why the minister does not marry a wife is because he has not yet met the woman he likes. As for the slaves and maids who serve, there is no shortage in the courtiers. ”

"If the girl comes to find it, how will the king let the ministers deal with themselves?"

"Take it."

"This ......"

Qing Ji said narrowly: "That girl has a good appearance and a very beautiful appearance. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be your concubine? ”

The king laughed.

"Young uncle, if that girl comes, you just have to accept it. After all, it cost five hundred dollars, don't do it in vain. ”

Hearing this, Fan Li couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, and asked, "The king, the minister's five hundred dollars ......?"

"Didn't you pay five hundred dollars for that girl?"

Qingji teased.

Fan Li was embarrassed!

The king of his own family is going to be a scoundrel and not admit this account!

How can a wealthy king of a country do such a thing?

Fan Li was very helpless.

Fortunately, Wu Guo's treatment of courtiers and officials is extremely favorable, Fan Li's official residence is one of the nine kings, and his salary is quite high, and five hundred yuan is not too big a huge amount of money for Fan Li.

It's just that he was cheated like this by Qingji, which made Fan Li very depressed!

At noon, Qingji and Fan Li came to a wine shop in the east of the city.

There was a lot of people here, and the people who passed by were not the pawns of the peddlers, as well as some shy scholars and businessmen who were quite shy in their pockets.

The true aristocracy rarely goes to such a liquor shop to drink and have fun!

Since Qingji is a private visit to Weifu, if you want to observe the people's feelings, you have to learn the real situation of some people from the market.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Just as Qingji and Fan Li were about to get up and check out and leave, they saw that on the edge of the table not far away, a small guy in a wine shop had an argument with a few men with a Chu accent!

"Is this ant-nose money not money? How can you not accept it? ”

A man at the head of the man was angry.

I saw that the man took out a lock of copper currency in his hand, oval-shaped, protruding from the front, with a flat back, shaped like a shell but small in size.

This is exactly the common currency of Chu - antnose money.

Antbi money is the currency circulating in the Chu State in the Jianghuai Valley, which is converted from imitation shellfish.

Because the economy and culture of Chu were more backward than those of the Central Plains, and the use of plutonium, knives and spinning wheels was also relatively late, the copper coinage followed the form of imitation shellfish.

The territory of Chu was not large at the beginning, but after the territory gradually expanded, the circulation range of ant-nose money and grimace money also expanded, and gradually formed an independent monetary system in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

"This is the rule set by the villain's owner!"

The little guy said unrelentingly: "Our store does not charge ant nose money!" The rest of the knife coins and cloth coins are collected! ”

"What's the reason?"

"The villain doesn't know. However, the coins of Chu are not accepted in this store! “

Hearing this, how can those present not understand?

Obviously, the store has a deep hatred with the Chu people, so they hate the Chu State, and even the ant nose money with the Chu State is disliked!

The man of Chu who had a dispute with the little guy knew the inside story in his heart, so he was resentful, and in line with the principle that more things are better than less, he could only let people go back to get cloth coins or knife coins to settle the bill.

Seeing this scene, Qingji couldn't help frowning.

According to him, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many types of currency minting, and the currency system was chaotic.

Due to the weakening of the power of the Zhou royal family, the countries were all in their own ways, and the economy was also self-contained, so each country minted its own currency and circulated it with each other, forming a special situation of long-term coexistence and use of multi-currency system and multi-currency type.

The current state of Wu also has a wide variety of currencies at the same time, and this situation is particularly serious after Qingji implemented the new law and catered to the merchants of the world to enter the Wu business.

"Young uncle, what kind of meaning do you see from this?"

Qingji put his meaningful gaze on Fan Li's body again.

As the internal history of Wu State, the minister in charge of the country's grain, food, money and goods, Fan Li naturally understands this situation very well.

"My lord, the kingdoms of heaven and earth have been minting coins for a long time. Nowadays, there are roughly three kinds of coins in circulation in various countries, cloth coins, knife coins, and ant nose coins! ”

Fan Li replied: "Cloth coins circulate in the Central Plains, mainly in the Zhou Wangji, Jin, Song, Wei and other countries, according to the shape of the cloth coins, and can be divided into two categories: empty first cloth and flat first cloth. ”

"Knife coins are mainly circulated in Qi, Yan and other places in the East. There are many types of knife coins, including Qi knife, Jimo knife, Anyang knife, needle knife, pointed knife, round knife and Ming knife. ”

"Antnose money is the common currency of Chu State, which is prevalent in Chu and its vassal countries."

"However, no matter what kind of coin, the nations all recognize it, but the equivalent is not the same, and every time there is a dispute between the merchants, it is because of this very different coin."

Hearing this, Qingji bowed slightly.

"The currency system of my Wu country is also very chaotic?"

"Exactly."

Fan Lizuo said: "King, don't hide it, since I implemented the new law in Wu and catered to the world's businessmen into Wu, there have been endless currency disputes. ”

"There are different opinions, and even the officials who preside over the trial are difficult to judge the equivalent value of various currency systems, let alone Li Shu?"

The chaotic situation of Wu's currency system must be reformed!

Such a thought had already appeared in Qingji's mind.

Unifying a country's currency is still a great initiative in this era!

The real hard currency is gold, jade, silk, cloth, silk and other precious things, but coins are also essential.

You can't let ordinary Li Shu barter like the ancestors of ancient times, right?

Therefore, Qingji decided to withdraw from the exclusive currency belonging to the Wu State, and took the opportunity to promote it in the world and enhance the influence of the Wu State!

The coins circulating in Wu can only be the coins of Wu, and the rest of the coins are not collected!
