Regarding the matter of money, Liu Sheng's consideration cannot be described as imprudent.

Of course, Liu Sheng knows that the matter of money is far less than that of grain, and it can be solved by relying only on 'official monopoly' and 'macroeconomic regulation and control'.

In order to solve the problem of the unification of the money system as smoothly and gently as possible, Liu Sheng even gave up a big opportunity.

-- Abolish all the old money, mint a new one, take the old money of the world and replace it, and use the new money to establish a reputation and consolidate the position of the prince.

But it is also Liu Sheng's consideration of 'moderate and smooth policy changes', and he set aside an opening: four baht money, which made countless hyenas and vultures see a good opportunity to make a fortune.

It's just that all of this was in the late autumn of the fourth year of the Son of Heaven's Qi Xinyuan, shortly after the end of the autumn harvest, and at the critical point when the New Year was approaching, because Liu Sheng accidentally set foot in Shanglin Yuan, and was completely kicked out······

"Come on, come on~"

"Take a look, take a look~"

"Shaofu is under the edict of His Majesty, and the grain harvested in the autumn of the people of Guanzhong is widely collected~"

"The price of each stone is fifty dollars, and Tong Su is not deceived ~~~"

After the autumn harvest every year, the east and west cities in the north of Chang'an City will be flooded into the people from all over Chang'an City, and the water will be crowded.

These hard-working people who have finished a year of hard work need to go to Chang'an City to do some materials in this gap where they can harvest the fruits of their labor and rarely rest in peace.

Those who have money may pull two pieces of cloth and buy two pieces of meat;

If you are poorer, you will always bring some salt, vinegar and the like, so as to add some taste to the rice porridge that is dull and tasteless at home and eaten every day.

However, after this year's autumn harvest, the most lively in the east and west markets are not the private shops selling salt, vinegar and other condiments, or cloth and other daily necessities;

Instead, it was set up outside the entrances of the two eastern and western cities, and there were grain shops where officials and errands entered and exited from time to time······

"Eh, the afterlife;"

"This year's grain, that's a bumper harvest, isn't it?"

"With such a bumper harvest, Shaofu is still willing to buy the grain in our hands at the price of fifty yuan per stone?"

Outside the crowded grain store, the appearance of an old man did not attract too many people's attention.

Hearing the old man's inquiry, the errand officer only subconsciously turned his head;

When I saw the old man's full head and pale beard, the arrogance and anger that often hung on his face also eased slightly.

"Hi~"

"Look at what the old man asked;"

"Although the person who buys grain is Shaofu, the price of buying grain has to be opened by His Majesty, so it can only be set?"

"Your Majesty sees thousands of miles and cares about the people of the world, how can you sit back and watch Shaofu suppress grain prices because of this year's bumper harvest in Guanzhong······"

···

"My husband can rest assured~"

"Say fifty dollars a stone, that's fifty dollars a stone!"

"The things written in black and white on the official document and pasted on the cloth are a child's undeceiving~"

Listening to what the messenger said, his eyebrows fluttered, but the old man did not immediately relax his vigilance;

It wasn't until he heard the phrase 'fifty dollars and one stone' again from the mouth of the messenger that the old man was still frowning slightly and his face was guarded.

Without waiting for the old man to ask the next question, the errand seemed to be an unintentional supplement, and finally put an eternal philosophy of life in front of the people of the world without reservation.

- Don't listen to the old man, suffer, close at hand;

Your uncle, after all, is still your uncle······

"It's just a little thing, so that the old man knows;"

"The end of the year is approaching, and the savings of the Shaofu are just the time to keep accounts."

"Most of the people who can take it out to buy food are eight baht or half taels, and basically you can't see four baht."

"-The quality of this money, it must be no problem, after all, it was taken out by the Shaofu insider."

"It's just that these eight baht and half a tael are used to buy food in the hands of my father-in-law······"

···

"Hey, hey, hey;"

"If the old man really plans to sell grain in Chang'an, then I have to find a senior official and talk to the old man about this matter."

"If the old man just asks, then the doorway here, the small ······"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey·········"

As soon as he heard the words of the officer, the old man's face, which was already faintly guarded, suddenly swelled up a little.

On the side, the pedestrians who were constantly entering and exiting this 'Shaofu Grain Shop' couldn't help but sigh helplessly when they saw the scene in front of them.

For these pedestrians who shook their heads and sighed, but did not stop, the officer did not pay much attention;

With only an inexplicable and sinister smile, he looked at the old man in front of him without squinting, and his face was already slightly angry······

"Huh?"

"What's the origin of this old thing?"

"Dressed in tatters, with such scary eyes······"

"—Afterlife."

"—What is the end of this doorway?"

Without waiting for the messenger to react, the old man said in a low voice, and saw the messenger's scattered mood pull back to his eyes.

That is, when the messenger raised his head hesitantly, the old man said indifferently, and the messenger completely let go of his suspicions;

Even before, the arrogance in the face of ordinary peasants involuntarily returned to his face again.

"The old businessman has been Jia for many years, although he is not famous in the world, but after many years of wandering, he can be regarded as breaking through a family business."

"In the first two years, the old decay could hardly bear the pain of traveling far away, and the fallen leaves returned to the roots······"

"With the grace of Your Majesty, the few acres of thin fields purchased can be regarded as a harvest."

"It's just that the grain officials in Anlingyi are really a bit wolf-like······"

As if he was melancholy, and said with a little feeling, the old man didn't forget to smile miserably, and then shook his head to himself.

Then, he raised his head again with a gentle face and looked at the errand officer in front of him, who was obviously a little 'less and more important'.

"Food, old decay."

"I'm also worried, I don't know where to sell."

"If Shaofu can come up with a fair price, the tens of thousands of stone grains of the old decay can be regarded as having a place to go······

As soon as he heard the old man's words, the errand officer was only indescribably excited for a while, and he had just returned to the arrogance on his face, and only immediately brought a little flattery!

After a while, perhaps he felt his identity, as if he should not fall so badly in front of a 'profiteer', the errand officer was only stunned for a moment, and for a while, his face stiffened a little.

Seeing the officer's reaction, the old man didn't think much about it, but only took a step forward and walked half a step in front of the officer;

Stopped, bent his neck slightly, lowered his voice and continued to ask questions, while not forgetting to take out a golden horn from his wide sleeves without a trace.

"The old man has been away from Qinzhong for a long time, and there is really a lot of uncertainty about this Chang'an boundary;"

"If the future can give a little pointer, I am old and grateful······"

With the old man's meaningful words, the golden horn, which had never seen the light from beginning to end, had slipped from the old man's sleeve into the sleeve of the errand officer.

After taking the golden horn and gently brushing it without others, the errand once again wore a flattering smile, and also imitated the appearance of the old man, posing with a posture of 'let's whisper and don't let outsiders hear'.

"If it's selling grain, my husband is really in the right place!"

"—Anling-eup, what is that place?"

"——The mausoleum of Emperor Xiaohui, forcibly relocated the Guandong Haoqiang to Guanzhong, and its beautiful name is 'keeping filial piety for the Son of Heaven', but in fact, it is the boundary where merchants and others live!"

"In that realm, can the officials be inferior to wolves and tigers?"

"My husband wants to sell grain, can the officials of Anling not knock a penny?"

Pretending to be mysterious, the servant didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with saying 'merchant' in front of a businessman.

- Merchant = untouchable, which is a universal value in today's Han family;

Not only do people in the world think so, but even the businessmen themselves think so.

If this were not the case, there would not be so many wealthy businessmen who would have retreated after becoming famous, and used the wealth they had accumulated all their lives to buy some land in their hometowns, in order to return to the ranks of farmers.

Because in the chain of contempt in this era, merchants are really only so pitiful than official slaves such as Chengdan and ghost salary, which are not consumables that people can count······

Speaking of the officer, although he talked about how Anling was and how the officials of Anling were, the greed that flashed in his eyes from time to time also revealed that the officer was actually looking forward to the scenery of doing errands in Anlingyi one day.

It's just that right now, the errand still hasn't forgotten the old 'businessman' who has given him more than half a year's money, but only needs to answer a few words and show him a few paths······

"Since the old man has been in business, what twists and turns can be hidden in the affairs of the government, and the old man should have a number in his heart."

"As for this time, Shaofu's purchase of grain, the doorway is deep and deep, and it is shallow, but it is not deep."

"Hmmm······"

"That's it;"

"Little one, just tell the old man Ming."

"——The price of fifty dollars and one stone was set by His Majesty, and it is said that there is also the handwriting of the prince."

"But this price, that is, it sounds good to shout out, after all, Shaofu used it to buy grain, and there was no four baht at all!"

···

"This fifty coins and one stone, naturally it is fifty four-baht coins;"

"But the food bought by Shaofu is eight baht and half a tael."

"The price of buying grain for eight baht and half a tael is definitely not fifty dollars a stone;"

"This is where the doorway is······"

Listening to the words of the messenger, telling the doorway in the matter of 'Shaofu buying grain', the old man knew it in his heart.

But in order to confirm his conjecture, the old man finally asked the most critical and fatal question for some people.

This question, the clouds are light and the wind is light;

This question obscures the sky and the sun;

It is still this question that in the near future, in the political center of the known world, it has set off a bloody storm······

"Please make it clear."

"This grain, according to eight baht money, at what price does Shaofu collect?"

"Half a tael, what's the price?"

For the old man's question, the errand officer was obviously prepared;

Checking the sleeves again, the golden horn that was only the size of a fingernail, but quite weighty, finally pressed the greed in his heart;

forced out a stiff smile of 'missing 100 million', and saw the messenger lean down again, and his voice was pressed to the extent that only the two of them could hear it.

"Eight baht, eighteen dollars with one stone;"

"Half a tael, one stone and eleven dollars······"

！

Almost as soon as he heard 'eighteen', or even when he heard the price of the messenger start with 'ten', the old man's eyes widened with anger!

In just a moment, the old man's temperament burst out with a unique aura that obviously did not belong to the peddlers' pawns or the peasants' merchants.

"Eighteen bucks?!"

"-It's better to grab !!"

···

"Humph!"

"Empress Dowager Lu's eight-baht coin, which is similar to Emperor Taizong's four-baht coin, and doubled!"

"-Fifty dollars for one stone, for eight baht, it should be twenty-five dollars!!"

"Qin half tael, it is slightly more than Taizong's four baht and Empress Dowager's eight baht, and it weighs three times as much as before four baht!"

"——If you don't take into account the fineness, the weight alone, the grain of fifty dollars and one stone should be given seventeen and a half taels!"

"-Even if you count the quality, you have to give at least fifteen dollars!!"

···

"What year is approaching, the money saved in the Shaofu is empty!!"

"You guys, you're sucking blood!!"

"—Sucking the blood of the peasants!!!!!"

The old man was furious, which instantly attracted people to stop and watch;

In this era when filial piety is greater than heaven and even greater than officials, every angry old man will attract countless eyes.

Especially under this premise, in front of such an old man who was so angry that he didn't even need to kneel down when he saw the Son of Heaven, there was actually an errand man with a hundred stones······

Feeling the gaze of the onlookers on him, and the crowd that was getting more and more crowded and crowding in his direction, the messenger was obviously in disarray;

And the old man, apparently, did not intend to let go of the errand who was 'ordered' and had almost nothing to do with the matter.

To be precise, everyone involved in this matter, the old man, does not intend to let it go······

"As early as more than half a year ago, the court had already issued an edict: prohibiting people from minting money privately!"

"Subsequently, Your Majesty handed over the matter of wasting all kinds of miscellaneous money and making four baht coins to the prince!"

"Although this matter has not yet been decreed, it is already a certainty!"

"——You are waiting for the court and His Majesty's order to purchase the people's autumn harvest grain, but what excuse do you use to 'year-end accounting' to loot the peasants' money?"

···

"Peasants are the foundation of my Han family!"

"If you wait for such an action, you are clearly shaking the foundation of the country and subverting the society!!"

"Wait, who instructed ?!!?"

"—What is the !!!! of the heart?"

Another roar of rage caused the officer to bow his head in a panic, and look at his feet in astonishment, not knowing what to say;

And the onlookers heard the old man's loud roar, and they all lowered their heads with complicated faces.

- Obviously, this is not an isolated case;

There are by no means a few peasants who have been tortured by this 'doorway'······

"Pull the car!"

"Old man, you want to enter the palace to face the saint!!"

"——I want to see if the temple and Sheji left by Emperor Taizu Gao are still surnamed Liu !!."

"——Let's see if the Shaofu has become a private !!!!! of the Hou family."
