If you want to say who is the biggest in Xi'an Mansion, it has to be King Qin! The twenty-four kings of Shaanxi and Gansu, headed by the king of Qin, his great-grandfather was the second son of Taizu, and he had the greatest military achievements and the most sieges among the sons.

The King Ning in Yinchuan City has a high rank, but he is from the branch of Taizu's younger brother, so he is far away.

There are also King Su, King Gan and King Liang, and then there are King Jingyang, King Lintong, King Wangyang, King Haoyang, and then King Yichuan, King Yongxing, King Xingping, King Yongshou and so on.

The status of the king of Qin is respected, and the palace occupies a vast area. In addition, Xi'an Mansion is also the Xijing of this dynasty, so when the palace was built, some functions as a line were also considered.

The entire palace city of the Qin Dynasty includes the palace wall and the inner wall, each with an outer periphery. The palace wall is two zhang and seven feet high, the top is two zhang wide, and it is nine miles long, which is almost the size of a medium county town.

There are the Department of Honor and Guard, the Wang Xiang Office, the Long History Office, the Royal Treasury, the Ancestral Hall, etc. The inner wall is two feet six feet high, one foot seven feet wide at the top, and five miles in circumference. The inner wall is shaped like a knife, narrow in the west and wide in the east.

About 240 paces wide in the west is the residence and garden of the Qin Dynasty, and there is a door in the middle of the mezzanine wall that can collude with the east. The eastern part is four hundred and sixty paces wide.

From the beginning of the Duanli Gate, there are Hui'an Gate, Chengqing Palace, Carrier Palace, Taihe Palace, Chongqing Gate, Chengqing Palace left and right are the east and west halls, which are the places to meet officials or female dependents.

Behind Chongqing Gate, there is Wenxin Square on the left, Wanyou Pavilion on the right, and Daguanfang and Yichun Garden behind it. The first half of the East Road is a place to deal with government affairs and hold ceremonies, and the north of Chongqing Gate is a place to study and be taught, and a garden is located.

But in fact, the king of Qin is the son of heaven to stay in Xijing, except for the wedding and funeral ceremonies in the east, it is generally not used, and even the west gate is used in and out (Zunyi Gate, the north gate is called Guanghe Gate, and the east gate is called Liren Gate in the southeast of Chongqing Gate).

The western half is the real Qin Palace, and if you look at it from this point of view, his house is not much bigger than the Lintong Palace.

The palace gate opens to the west, which is really fresh! Li Dan turned his back to Zunyi Gate, holding on to the white marble railing to admire the Yitong Bridge in front of him.

This is a wooden bridge, painted with vermilion lacquer throughout, and the bridge deck is slightly raised at a very suitable angle, like a long rainbow spanning between the two sides of the inner moat.

The water in the Hao comes from the Longshou Canal, and it should be filtered by some method very clear, and you can see the trout carp and bighead carp swimming in the water when you look down, and you can see that they are free to come and go, without being disturbed by the human world.

"Master Lee!" There was a call from inside the gate, and echoes buzzed through the doorway. Li Dan turned around and saw a tall man hurriedly walking out of it, wearing a green official robe with a moon-white collar, and bowed to him:

"The lower official Qin King Changshi Du Xian, sent by Chitose to greet him."

"There's Lord Laurdu." This official's voice was loud and his eyes were like stars, which gave Li Dan a great impression.

According to Lin Yutang's report, Qin Wangxiang was the original prince, and he was also very good at it, but he was not good at handling feudal affairs, so the specific real power was actually here in Du Xian. "I've heard Lord Du's name for a long time, and it's true when I see it today."

Du Xian laughed: "Lord Li, I already knew that you were a practical and capable minister, so let's not be polite, don't come and go."

Although he has a long history in the next, he is actually an official who has transferred martial arts, but he can't change his character for many years, and he still goes straight like that. He said, if you are not in front of the king of the court, your forehead will be commensurate with the words, please call the officials, how is it?"

"What's so embarrassing?" Li Danqian conceded, but his mouth changed, and asked, "Brother Zixu, the younger brother heard that Chitose has been in poor health, so he came to visit today, what is the situation?"

"The old problem, it started soon after Chitose inherited the throne, and I somehow got this rheumatic pain. It is said that this thing will be uncomfortable when it is cloudy and cold, but Chitose can't get out of bed from time to time. I've asked a lot of doctors to see it, but it's useless."

Du Xian sighed and said, "Originally, I could walk on the ground, but then I could only sit in a sedan chair. Originally, the arrival of the Qin mission should have greeted him in the Carrier Palace, but now he has to be slow, and he still hopes that Zedong and you Haihan."

Li Dan waved his hand hurriedly and said that he didn't have to take it to heart. Then he said, "My brother came to Shaanxi by the holy order, and by the way, I would like to greet Chitose on behalf of Your Majesty.

It also brought the king of Peng, Fu, and Fengning in Jiangxi, and the king of Tan, Hengyang, and Yiyang in Hunan

, King Fan of Hebei, King Ding, King of Zhou of Henan, King of Wei, King of Xiangfan of Hubei and other kings entrusted to bring gifts and greeting letters.

All of you are very concerned about Chitose!"

Du Xian thanked him, and asked with a smile, "Why, do these royal relatives know that Ze things are coming?"

"To be precise, I know that my little brother is here to revitalize the economy of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo, so I am willing to make a modest contribution."

"Oh!" Du Xian did not continue the topic, and guided Li Dan through a garden after entering the mansion, and came to a courtyard, which was two rows of south-facing houses in front and back.

Li Dan's eyes lit up, the gentle slope roof, the huge bucket arch, the black lacquer corridor column and the small sill window, my God, this kind of eaves is far-reaching, but it is difficult to see Tang-style architecture elsewhere!

They took off their boots at the door and stepped on the thick carpet to enter, their feet soft and dense, and their walks were silent.

King Qin is about forty years old, his complexion is not bad, there are many cushions, pillows and the like on his back, he greets Li Dan, and apologizes for his body and says that he can't go out to greet Qin, etc.

Li Dan humbled a little, took out Zhao Tuo's handwritten letter, and conveyed the greetings of the queen mother, the king of Qin expressed his gratitude, and instructed to invite Li Dan to the side hall for dinner, and the prince and Du Xian will accompany him on behalf of himself.

This is the end of the visit. Li Dan was taken out by Du Xian, but he didn't immediately go to the side hall, he wanted to take a closer look at this Tang Jian.

The building was originally I-shaped as a whole, that is, there was a small hall in the middle of the front and back halls. The whole hall looks seven rooms wide, and the corridor garden covers an area of more than ten acres, so the owner can move within the scope of this hall without going out at all.

Li Dan looked up and down the hall for a long time, then came out and looked around, and then went to eat with the inexplicable Du Xian.

Zhao Fang, the son of King Qin, is the uncle of the current emperor, but he is only eleven years younger.

A pair of big round eyes looked at Li Dan for a long time, and only returned the salute after being reminded by Wang Xiang (he is also the prince of the world), and then said, "It turns out that you are that Li Sanlang?"

"What, did you disappoint Your Highness?" Li Dan smiled and half-knelt down and asked him.

"You're tall, I wonder if you're as strong as they say?" Zhao Fang said very seriously.

Li Dan turned his head to look around, and when it was clean, he pointed to the small pebbles all over the yard and said, "Your Highness, you can find the one you think is the hardest."

Zhao Fang really ran out and picked one up, Li Dan took it, put it on the ground and asked everyone to take a few steps back, smiled, took a deep breath and slapped it with a palm, raised his hand to pat the powder on it and said, "Your Highness now knows the strength of the minister?"

Looking at the shattered gravel on the ground, Zhao Fang nodded with his mouth open. Li Dan laughed: "Let's go, let's eat, only when we are full will we have the strength to practice martial arts, maybe one day Your Highness will be able to surpass the minister!"

During the banquet, Wang Xiang brought out the meaning that Li Dan should not lead the prince to practice martial arts, Du Xian's face was cold, and Li Dan said with a smile: "Your Highness can strengthen his body when he practices martial arts, how can he really let him go on a horse to fight and kill the enemy head-on?"

The minister hopes that His Royal Highness will have both civil and military skills, and this is the western barrier that the emperor wants." As he spoke, he began to describe what Zhao Tuo hoped for in the future of Shaanxi.

Wang Xiang sighed and said that it would be great to be able to see this day, and Li Dan looked at him attentively. Wang Xiang's name is Dou Wei, he is fifty-two years old this year, and his complexion is ruddy and slightly fat. "Don't worry, Dou Xiang, you will be able to see it this day!" Li Dan said with certainty:

"The new money printing machine has arrived, we are in the process of addressing the bank, and three plots of land designated by the government are being evaluated. Now wait for all the remaining funds to be in place, and then start building a banknote printing factory.

But the site was not easy to find, it had to be a very safe and large enough plot because it would be surrounded by high walls, and it had to be downwind and close to the water."

"Is it okay to be outside the city?" Du Xian suddenly asked.

"Of course!" Li Dan nodded.

"The Haoyang Mansion once bought a piece of land outside the Nanguo Gate to build a temple, but it was put down just in time for the Jingnan to be built, and now the land is rented out for people to plant, and the profit is not big.

Sometimes the king of Haoyang invited a few princes to go on a tour and play, and that's it." Du Xian said, "

It's not interesting for them to hold that piece of land, you can consider buying it, and if you are interested, you can help you match."

"Outside the Nanguo Gate, but on the Leyou Plain?"

Du Xian and Dou Wei were stunned, they didn't expect him to be so familiar with Xi'an when he came. "Don't go to Leyouyuan, it's in the place at the head of the pool." Sinus circumference further explained.

"Oh, the north side of Qujiang Pond." Li Dan thought to himself, wasn't that near the Xi'an Film Studio in his previous life? "Okay, when will I go and see, please ask Brother Zixu to help me make an appointment with their steward."

Du Xian hurriedly agreed, and then asked tentatively, "Do you really want to issue new banknotes?" Can you still use the old bills?"

"Whether you use the old or the new, it's up to you." Li Dan smiled and took out a few Liao banknotes and handed them over:

"You see, this is the new banknote we issued in Liaoning Province, and the new banknote in Shaanxi will be basically the same as this one in the future, except that the issuing bank has been changed to the 'Royal Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Second Bank.'"

The two took it over, and were amazed to feel the crisp paper and clear printing, and Li Dan showed them the watermark anti-counterfeiting technology and double-sided printing, which was praised by them.

Shizi took the banknote and shook it, and asked in surprise, "Why do you print the banknotes so small, I see that other people print banknotes so big!"

"Your Highness, this is a special piece of paper, which is forbidden by law to be sold to the outside world, and even the scraps that have been cut must be burned in front of the guards on the same day. So this paper is extremely expensive, and the bigger the paper, the more expensive it is to make!

Besides, paper also has weight, and if you hold a wad of paper, it is both thick and heavy. Let's make it small not only to save costs, but you can see that the largest can be pinched in one hand, whether it is for collection and payment, it is very convenient to carry."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Fang nodded: "Then why doesn't Lord Li want to use old banknotes?"

"Because there are too many old money, too much. How do you use dirty, tattered paper for money? It's just lighter than money, but it has no other benefits, and it's easy to be counterfeited by people with ulterior motives, so how can that kind of money represent the abundance of people in my Celestial Empire?"

"That's right!" Zhao Fang clapped his hands: "So in the future, the whole world will use this new ticket, this is the atmosphere that the Celestial Empire should have!"

"That's what I said," Dou Wei was a bit older after all, and he immediately saw some problems: "The banknotes on the market today are not only miscellaneous but also have them from all dynasties, and there are more banknotes and less money, how does Zedong plan to replace them, is it one for one?" You just said that it's up to people to use the new or the old, aren't you worried that people will refuse to accept the new banknotes?"

"Don't worry." Li Dan looked at Du Xian, who was listening: "First of all, our bank can not only issue new banknotes, but also recycle old banknotes.

Everyone keeps their spare money in the bank, and the bank takes it out to lend, and part of the proceeds is given to the depositor as interest, which is different from the current bank.

Then when people see that there is interest, they will enthusiastically put their spare money into the bank, even if it is only one or two, and the bank will accept it.

When he wants to use it, he takes his passbook to the bank and withdraws money, and the bank calculates the principal and interest for him, and then pays him with new banknotes."

"I see, eat the old banknotes and highlight the new banknotes, so that the market will be filled with new banknotes without realizing it!" Du Xian knocked down the table lightly: "Wonderful! However, it has not yet solved the problem of too much money and too little money, and the depreciation of paper money."

Yo, a prince actually understands currency devaluation? Li Dan couldn't help but look at him again, and secretly said in his heart that no wonder the real power is not in Dou Wei's hands! "Brother Zixu is so right!" Li Dan smiled:

"So my brother brought representatives of hundreds of trading companies in the Kanto region this time, not only to let them participate in the investment opportunities in Kanchu.

Moreover, the first Northwest Trade Fair will be held soon, so that businessmen inside and outside the customs can communicate face-to-face, and each other can get to know each other and sign contracts.

This will lay the foundation for the circulation of goods after the switch, and it must be an explosive growth, so that all kinds of novelty goods will fill the land of Sanqin!" Li Dan paused, and immediately said:

"But that's not enough! The people have no money in their hands, so what is the use of having goods?" He looked at the people, "So we have to build the infrastructure, we have to build roads, we have to build bridges, we have to repair the city walls, and we have to repair the ruined county school and the temple of literature. Pay everyone with new banknotes.

The person who gets the new banknote opens

I must have been anxious to spend this never-before-seen banknote, and so there was a lot of shopping ......."

Li Dan spoke patiently and confidently, and the more Du Xian listened, the more he understood, and the more he understood, the more he knew that everything was already in the deduction of this young official.

As if he knew what was going to happen, he methodically arranged the next move after move, waiting for people to act according to their own arrangement!

"This man is really ......." He exclaimed in his heart: "No wonder the emperor sent him to Shaanxi!" His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly:

"So, if you follow his steps, won't you be just around the corner to get rich?" Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said, "Zedong just said that there is still some capital in place, why is it that? How much is it missing?"

"Oh, some of the capital that the prince promised to invest in the bank has not yet been delivered due to the long distance."

"Can the royal government take a stake?" Dou Wei asked in surprise, "I thought this bank was ......."

"Wang Xiang thinks this bank belongs to the lower officials?" Li Dan told him with a smile: "Since it is a royal bank, it is naturally mainly funded by the royal family, and other people such as nobles and lords can also do it.

The share of the lower officials is only one hundred. Of course, whether or not to invest in the shares is entirely voluntary, and the emperor has repeatedly reminded that it cannot be reluctant."

Du Xian and Dou Wei glanced at each other: "Chitose's amount, it's just how much silver is needed for this share?"

"You can subscribe for as many as you want, Chitose subscribes shares in units of ten taels, and the minimum subscription of ten shares is one hundred taels.

In the future, Chitose can sell and transfer shares to others in the middle of the process, or buy more shares from others, but this transaction needs to be registered with the stock trading hall of the newly established Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Got it? That is to say, if the stock is very valuable, you may need to buy or sell it with ten taels, so that you can make money. But if this trading company doesn't work, maybe you can only sell 9 taels of stocks with a face value of 10 taels, and then you will lose money!"

Du Xian was taken aback: "Non-royal relatives can also buy this stock?"

"At the time of issuance, it was only in the circle of royal relatives and nobles, and anyone could participate in the ...... trading."

Listening to Li Dan's narration, Dou Wei was still there, and Du Xian understood that this was a means to let the princes pay money, take out the real money and silver, and then these precious metals would go to support the bank to issue new banknotes.

He did not crack down on the tendency of the people to use money, nor did he confiscate the wealthy businessmen, let alone rush to use troops abroad.

He is just constantly accumulating and absorbing those funds that are looking for ways to make money, backed by the emperor's shade to ask everyone to trust himself and this new bank! Du Xian began to understand the word that Li Dan mentioned many times: trust.

According to him, the credit of banknotes comes from banks, and the credit of banks comes from His Majesty the Emperor. He raised the Liao bill in his hand and looked at the Wyvern watermark on it again, and an idea quickly came to him.

Just as Li Dan was leaving the palace, he saluted Zhao Fang and said goodbye: "Your Highness, there is a Taixi traveler in the courtier's shogunate, and he wrote a book called "The Chronicles of the Coastal Scenery of Aphilica".

If Your Highness is interested, you can take it and see it, and you will know what a magical place there is tens of thousands of miles away from my Heavenly Empire."

"Okay!" Zhao Fang was overjoyed and untied a silver paper cutter from his waist: "Oh, this is for you, with my name on it." Next time you can just show them this!"

Li Dan thanked him hurriedly. Du Xian walked out with him, and saw that he was still waving goodbye to Zhao Fang when he turned around, and said with a smile: "Your Highness likes you very much, I have never treated anyone like this before!"

"There is a matter for Brother Du to discuss with King Qin."

"What's the matter?"

It turned out that Li Dan looked at the Tang-style hall and felt that although it was vast and open, it was cool inside, and it was not easy to retreat from the cold and damp doors and windows. He suggested that it would be best to make a modification.

"It's ......." Du Xian was a little embarrassed: "This hall was originally a relic of the Tang Palace built on the Dragon Head Plateau. The first king Aizhi couldn't bear to demolish it, so he moved here as it was. Zedong wants to change...... I'm afraid something isn't right."

"I didn't want to tear it down." Li Dan

He smiled, "I suggest that the doors and windows be covered with Poli to block the wind, and a fire dragon road should be built under the main hall. In line with the policy of repairing the old as the old, it was renovated to make the hall comfortable.

However, this is an environmental transformation, if Chitose is willing, the minister can ask the Empress Dowager for permission to send the princess Wei Shaolong to treat Chitose.

Wei Juma is a famous doctor recommended by the minister, and he once consulted the empress dowager and the concubine, and I hope he has a way to cure Chitose."

"Of course it's the best." Du Xian arched his hand: "Just ask Brother Zedong to invite, and talk to Chitose about the amount of shares!"

Two days later, news came out in the streets and alleys of Xi'an that King Qin had invested 150,000 taels in the new bank. Immediately afterwards, the kings and nobles worked hard to follow up, and the merchants were also excited about the upcoming fair.

There is a rumor of an upcoming business stimulus in the shops, and every day you can hear about an adult or a wealthy man hoarding a certain commodity.

But they didn't know that the standard camp actually left a detachment dominated by veterans from Liaodong, and with the help of Zhu Qiyue, the commander of Lintong County, quietly built a large storage base in the mountains that stretched for three miles.

A large amount of rice, flour, grain and oil, cloth, silk, cotton wool and even needles and threads were transported by the Lujiang Circulation Trading Company and quietly stored here.
