Chapter 199: Qiandu rice is expensive

After listening to Huaiqing's analysis, Li Changkong couldn't help but admire: "The princess is really smart, Changkong admires it." ”

Hearing this, Huaiqing's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly, and said, "It's just a little speculation, if there is no evidence, it can't be true." ”

"Evidence ......"

"This batch of counterfeit banknotes is realistic, ordinary people, etc., it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, even the criminal department Shangshu Zhong Prison, and I only know its fake, but I don't know where the fake is."

"But I've promised to help with the research, and I'll let you know if I find any obvious loopholes."

"The Criminal Department Shangshu Zhong Prison? When did he become our man? The crown prince Liu Yu was able to interject at this time.

"Just today, when I went to Tianyi Sect to copy Chen Qianyuan, he showed me his sincerity, and I promised to introduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to him."

"So good! Although the Criminal Department only has the power of Xing Prison, it is not as good as the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, but after all, it is one of the six departments, and Zhong Prison is even more valuable as the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

"With the help of this person, the momentum of the court is a total of six points, and you have already got one of them!" Princess Huaiqing looked at Liu Yudao.

"It's just that hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, he said to deduct it? If it is discovered, I am afraid that it will be a crime of abusing power and enriching one's own pockets! Huaiqing frowned and continued: "This person has just surrendered, and he has not received any benefits, so he wants to take such a big risk, but I am afraid that eighty percent is unwilling." ”

"What the princess said is very true, so we have to give this silver!"

"Use a real silver ticket instead of a fake silver ticket and hand it in!" Li Changkong said.

"It makes sense." Huaiqing nodded, no more objections.

Then, the two looked at Liu Yu together and said in unison: "Give money!" ”

Liu Yu: "??? ”

No, God can see mercy!

Since the two met, his mouth has not stopped, and he has interjected such a sentence from beginning to end.

Now that the conversation is over, is it just a sentence to give money? A mouth or a huge sum of hundreds of thousands of taels?

"Did this palace offend you two?" Liu Yu's eyes were full of resentment for a while.

"Don't prevaricate, this is a major matter related to people's livelihood!" Huaiqing's eyes were a little sharp, and his tone was already aggravated.

Although she had never seen more than 100,000 taels, she only listened to Li Changkong's description and knew that it was a lot of silver.

But in the face of national events, let alone hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels can be obtained!

Otherwise, if the matter of this counterfeit currency is not resolved, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will be displaced because of it.

The monetary system of the Great Dry will also collapse completely.

The end result is that the big dry silver ticket will be completely useless!

The people will only know silver and gold!

I'm afraid no one wants to see this scene.

"Sister Huang, it's not that this palace doesn't produce this silver, this palace just wants to come up with it, and it can't be taken out for a while!"

Liu Yu almost wanted to cry without tears, then turned his head to Li Changkong, and said with a blank eye: "Lao Li~"

"Alas, okay, okay, I will give half for His Highness, but His Highness will have to return this silver to me in the future."

"Why do you have to pay it back? Is it okay for this palace to give you an official title in the future? ”

"No, absolutely not! Your Highness, your food and clothing are all spent on the silver of the treasury. ”

"I have to earn it myself, otherwise the one hundred and ten people in the Wuling Marquis Mansion will have to drink the northwest wind."

"I'm a person who is old and young, how can you bear to pay my hard-earned money, Your Highness?"

When Liu Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Good guy, if you didn't know that Zhenguo Quick Food you get the most dividends, this palace would really almost believe you.

"Half out, that's... Tomorrow, I have to call Lao Zhang and Lao Zhu to discuss together. ”

"emmmm, Lao Jia has to come too, it's best to bring a few calligraphy and paintings of his father."

"This person in this palace loves calligraphy and painting the most on weekdays. Jia Shoufu's calligraphy and painting are a must, and the palace can be said to have admired for a long time! ”

Hearing this, Li Changkong and Princess Huaiqing glanced at each other, then looked at Liu Yu, and said in unison: "Phew! Cheap! ”

……

Li Xin is a poor student, but after his own efforts, he studied hard for decades, and finally entered high school.

Although it is incomparable with the pride of heaven such as He Taibai and Zhang Han, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and now he is also a seven-grade servant of the imperial history.

and bought a house on the outskirts of Qiandu City and married a wife.

Although the house did not pay the full amount, he also borrowed a lot of money from the money store, which needs to be repaid regularly every month.

But today's life is not easy.

He is very satisfied, but for some reason, in recent months, the prices in Qiandu City have been a little outrageously expensive, resulting in his money being a little insufficient to spend, and he is very stretched.

Qiandu City is a large Qiandu City, and naturally it is also the most prosperous place in Daqian, and it is understandable that prices are higher and higher.

But... This year's increase is really outrageous, and the price of grain and meat is about to double that of the past!

It's really... It's a bit appalling.

But he wasn't too worried, the imperial court would adjust the officials' salaries according to the price every year, and he would be able to starve to death if he was a seven-grade servant of the imperial history?

What's more, today is the day of fortune!

The mood is naturally exceptional!

The road to the household department is not short, but with the blessing of this good mood, Li Xin walked exceptionally happily.

In a short time, we have arrived at our destination.

On duty today is Zhang Ying, a member of the household department, who is receiving the officials who came to receive the Yulu with a black face at the moment.

After Li Xin saw it, he was a little puzzled.

The distribution of Yulu is a major event in the court, and the officials on duty in the past, not to mention being proud of it, at least greeted them with a smile, why should they have a black face?

Is it difficult to achieve without fear of offending people?

There were also many officials like him who came to receive the money.

What is even more strange is that after these officials entered, they were all like him, with a happy face, but when they came out, they had a calm face, and even worse, their beards were all open, and they obviously had a heated argument with others.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin frowned slightly and walked in.

"Zheng Qipin, the official servant of the imperial history, Li Xin."

When Zhang Ying heard this, she still had a black face, but her hand movements were not idle, and after finding out, she quickly counted out a stack of silver tickets, and then handed them to Li Xin.

Seeing this, Li Xin's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, and said, "This month, it's still a silver ticket?" Can it be exchanged for food? ”

When Zhang Ying heard this, the black face became even darker, and she said impatiently: "It's been like this for the past few months, don't ask again, take it and leave quickly." ”

When Li Xin heard this, he stopped talking and began to count the silver tickets.

After counting, his color changed and he said angrily: "Why is it still thirty taels? ”

"It's thirty taels a month, what should you do? Can I still conjure you up for nothing? Zhang Ying was also angry, one by one, they all came to ask, and they had to be scolded again, he came to be on this errand today, and he really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes!

"In the past, it was true that the seventh rank official was thirty taels of money, but in the past few months, the price of grain and meat in Qiandu City has doubled!"

"If Yu Lu is still thirty taels, how can you tell me to live?"

"What's more, now everyone outside doesn't recognize silver tickets, and a silver ticket of thirty taels can only be exchanged for a silver ingot of fifteen taels."

"In this way, I can only buy food equivalent to seven and a half taels of silver in the past, and I can't starve to death!"

Li Xin was completely angry, his good mood when he came was gone, he slapped it on the case, and shouted angrily!
