Chapter 228: Goodbye Lan Yuehou
After meeting Situ Changkong and Lu Baifeng, the next day Qin Wei began to meet with the envoys of many surrounding royal courts.
In the past month, almost all the envoys from the royal courts around Dali have come to Kyoto.
The three royal courts of the Rong tribe in the north, the three royal courts of the barbarian tribes in the south, and the other seven royal courts of the Western Regions except for the destroyed Fire Worship Royal Court all sent missions to Kyoto.
For these royal court envoys, Qin Wei naturally couldn't meet them one by one, but just held a big court meeting to summon all the envoys, and at the same time prepared a banquet in the imperial city to entertain these envoys.
However, whether it is a court meeting or a wine banquet, it is just an appetizer, and what really matters is the next negotiation with many royal courts.
Qin Wei didn't think about including these royal courts in Dali's territory, as long as they were willing to show their submission and pay some tribute every year, it was enough.
His eyes are not on the west and north of Dali, but on the southeast sea of Dali, so he is not willing to waste time with it.
Of course, there are some things that are beneficial to Dali still have to be done.
For example, the mutual market.
In fact, Dali used to have a mutual market with the surrounding major royal courts, but in recent years, with the changes in the situation around Dali, the mutual market has long disappeared.
And now that Dali has once again convinced many royal courts, the mutual market will naturally start again.
Not only does he want to start over, Qin Wei also plans to expand the scale, but also intends to establish some rules that are beneficial to Dali.
For example, trade is settled with the coins of Dali, and the mutual market is monopolized by the Royal Chamber of Commerce within Dali.
These two items are the soft knives that Qin Wei prepared for the surrounding royal courts.
In order to complete these two things, Qin Wei made a lot of preparations.
The first is the casting of new coins, in the past, the copper coins of Dali were all square hole copper coins, and as the new emperor, Qin Wei naturally had to cast his own copper coins.
However, Qin Wei did a little more thoroughly, and did not choose to continue to mint square hole copper coins, but directly abolished the two yuan.
The abolition of the two yuan is of great significance, which can not only unify the currency, develop the economy, and facilitate the people, but also expand the scale and function of the central bank's activities.
That's right, it's a central bank, and if you want to issue money, you can't do without a central bank.
Qin Wei wanted to take the opportunity of issuing silver dollars to establish Dali's central bank.
The issuance of silver dollars is an important step in the development of the economy and lays the foundation for the future issuance of banknotes.
There are four types of new silver dollars, namely Yiyuan (silver), Yijiao (silver), Yifen (copper), and Yiwen (copper).
In order to increase the hardness of the silver coins, copper is also mixed with them, and the copper coins are minted in full copper, which is slightly smaller than the large glass copper coins.
The obverse is printed with the words of the Dali Dynasty and the specific amount, and the back is printed with a portrait of a human face, surrounded by fine lace, although inferior to modern coins, but several times more exquisite than the copper coins of Dali.
According to the exchange ratio formulated by Qin Wei, one yuan is equal to one tael of silver, one dime is equal to one penny of silver, one cent is equal to ten copper coins of Dali, and one wen is equal to one copper coin of Dali.
In other words, one tael of silver can be exchanged for one yuan or a thousand copper coins.
Minting money is a profitable business, and minting new money makes more money.
Now mint a new silver dollar, Qin Wei will be able to earn two silver dollars.
After the mutual market with the major royal courts is opened, Qin Wei will use the new money to collect wool in the hands of the major royal courts.
As for why the mutual market is monopolized by the Royal Chamber of Commerce, it is naturally because Qin Wei wants to obtain more wealth.
The so-called Royal Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce established mainly by Shen Wansan, which directly belongs to Qin Wei, and the money earned will also go directly into Qin Wei's inner treasury.
The mutual market and the Royal Chamber of Commerce are just an experiment of Qin Wei, in the future, Dali's sailors will sail away, the southeast sea, and the Qiongtian sea area will be his journey, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce will also follow him out of Dali and plunder wealth for him and Dali.
Money and resources are the foundation of everything, without money and resources, the development of Dali is just a castle in the air.
Therefore, in order to obtain more money, Qin Wei could only let the Royal Chamber of Commerce operate the market alone for the time being.
Inside the Imperial Study.
Qin Wei successively met with the officials of the Honglu Temple and the Minting Division, and arranged the mutual market and the minting of new money.
Later, Shen Wansan and Qi Chao were recruited.
After the two of them met, Qin Wei asked, "How much do you know about Qianzhuang?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there is a lot of research on the matter of the money village, and the slave originally planned to open a money village in Long'an Mansion, but later~~" Qi Chao said.
He had the intention to open a money bank before, after all, the business territory of his Long'an Mansion involved several states at the beginning, if it wasn't for Qin Wei's pit later, maybe he would have opened more than a dozen money banks now.
Qin Wei smiled and said, "Since you have research on Qianzhuang, then it is up to you to set up the Dali Central Bank." ”
"Dali Central Bank?" Qi Chao's face was full of doubts.
Qin Wei also knew that he could not understand the function and role of the central bank, so he handed him the prepared documents.
"Look at this, if you don't understand it, ask me again!"
"Whoa!" Qi Chao looked at the paperwork in his hand with some curiosity.
This book is very thick, it contains all Qin Wei's understanding of the country's central bank, although he is not good at economics, but with the insight of his previous life, he still has a lot of things.
These things are still very advanced in this world.
"How's going on with the Royal Chamber of Commerce?" Qin Wei asked Shen Wansan again.
Shen Wansan replied: "The Royal Chamber of Commerce has been formed, with its headquarters in Kyoto and offices in each state. ”
"Hmm!" Qin Wei nodded and continued: "Since the Royal Chamber of Commerce is a Chamber of Commerce, it must have the appearance of a Chamber of Commerce, and it must not have too much to do with the court and local officials. ”
"There are some privileges that can be used, but there are some things that cannot be touched, and you have to be measured."
"I understand." Shen Wansan responded.
Then Qin Wei said some thoughts about the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce will be his money bag in the future, even if he attaches great importance to it, he can't overdo it.
……
As Qin Wei threw out one idea after another, all the departments of the Dali Dynasty fell into a hurry.
However, the speed of negotiations with the major royal courts is still very fast, after all, now that the big glass is powerful, they can only give in, and the conditions offered by Qin Wei are not too harsh, so they quickly agreed to the conditions of the mutual market.
After that, the envoys of the major royal courts left Kyoto one after another.
By April, the work of measuring acres of land in all prefectures, provinces, and counties had been completed, and all the riots over tax reform had ended.
Although there are still many people who are dissatisfied with this, no one dares to take the lead.
However, whether the tax will be increased or not, the cabinet and household officials are still full of anxiety.
It is not yet time to collect taxes, the most recent of which is the summer tax, which will not be collected for about three months.
In this regard, Qin Wei was full of expectations.
But what Qin Wei is looking forward to the most is the growth of the momentum on the Yitian chessboard.
In just over three months, the momentum of the Yitian chessboard has grown by nearly 90,000 wisps, an average of about 30,000 wisps per month, and as time goes by, the momentum qi grows faster and faster.
The stronger his control over the court, the faster the growth of the power qi, and the greater the power of the big glass outside, the faster the growth of the power qi will be.
As one reform after another began, and as the wave of turmoil ended, his control over the court became stronger and stronger.
And with the departure of the missions of the major royal courts, with the opening of mutual markets, the power of Dali in the surrounding areas will become more and more powerful.
Seeing that the momentum increased dramatically every day, Qin Wei's mood was exceptionally good every day.
However, his good mood did not last long, because Lan Yuehou asked to see him again.
It has been more than two months since Lan Yuehou returned to Beijing, but Qin Wei has never seen him, because he knows that this time they meet, the previous relationship between the two will change dramatically.
It's just that what should come is still coming, and some things can't be avoided.
Qingfu Mountain.
Qin Wei stood under the lush Awakening Spirit Fruit Tree, looking up at the dense fruits on the tree, his face was gloomy.
"Wechen greets Your Majesty!"
Lan Yuehou came behind him under the guidance of Xiao Shunzi and bowed.
Qin Wei turned around and looked at Lan Yuehou, who was still as chic as ever, and his heart couldn't help but feel extremely complicated.
Lan Yuehou should be the first friend he recognized in this world.
"You really haven't changed at all!" Qin Wei had a faint smile on his face.
Lan Yuehou looked up at him and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has changed a lot. ”
"Where has changed?" Qin Wei asked with interest.
"Become more mature, more domineering." Lan Yuehou said.
Qin Wei laughed, "Xiao Shunzi, serve the wine!" ”
When Xiao Shunzi heard this, he immediately asked the little eunuchs to take out the prepared wine and food.
Among them, there are ten jars of wine, and each jar is different, and they are all the best wines in Dali.
Lan Yuehou looked at the wines, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
He didn't care about Qin Wei, he directly opened an altar, poured a bowl, and poured it into his stomach.
"Hahaha, this is a century-old drunken brew in Yuezhou. It's really good wine! ”
Qin Wei didn't bother with him, he sat directly opposite him and poured him a bowl.
Drunken brewing is the famous wine of Yuezhou, Dali has a saying that drunkenness is not intoxicating, and it is drunken brewing.
It takes a lot of medicinal materials to brew the intoxicating brew, and one of the most important medicinal materials is the ecstasy, a poison that can confuse the mind, but after brewing, the toxicity of the ecstasy disappears by ninety percent, and only a little confusing effect remains.
For innate martial artists, the effect of this confusing mind is almost none, but it gives people a feeling of relaxation, so it is called intoxicating brewing.
Qin Wei raised his head and poured a bowl, and suddenly felt a refreshing refreshment permeating his internal organs, and there was still a little psychic touch in his mind.
"Good wine indeed!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Haha~~" Lan Yuehou laughed.
Just like that, the two of you, you drink a cup and I drink a cup of water. Neither of them mentioned the Awakening Fruit Tree next to them.
After a few jars of wine, Qin Wei felt a little drunk.
It was not easy for him to get drunk with his current physique, but this feeling of being slightly drunk was the best.
Similarly, Lan Yuehou was also a little drunk.
He looked up at the Awakening Spirit Fruit Tree, looking at a pale red Awakening Spirit Fruit, his eyes were a little confused.
"Your Majesty, do you know what my Dongfang family values the most?"
His voice was a little cold.
"What is it?" Qin Wei asked.
"It's Lingzhi! It's a spiritual plant like the Awakening Spirit Fruit Tree. Lan Yuehou said.
Qin Wei's slightly drunken eyes flashed with a cold light.
He understood what Lan Yuehou meant by this.
Valuing means not giving up easily.
Not giving up easily means that the conflict between the Dongfang family and him is difficult to mediate.
"And do you know what I value most?"
"What is it?" Lan Yuehou turned her head to look at him.
The corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "What I value most is everything that belongs to me. ”
"No one wants to take away what belongs to me!"
Lan Yuehou was slightly stunned, but then burst out laughing.
"Sure enough, the God Emperor in this world is the most domineering."
Qin Wei smiled, raised the wine bowl in his hand, and poured it down.
Lan Yuehou also poured it down, and the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, soaking his clothes, and he didn't care.
"Although I don't like the Dongfang family very much, I am a child of the Dongfang family after all, so I won't help you!"
Qin Wei's eyes lit up and said, "As long as you don't make enemies of me." ”
"Of course not! My task is done, and I don't need to do the rest. Lan Yuehou said.
The smile on Qin Wei's face was even brighter.
He cherished Lan Yuehou as a friend, and as the emperor, he had already felt the taste of being alone.
As long as Lan Yuehou doesn't interfere in this matter, then his friend is still there.
"Two months to go!" Lan Yuehou said.
"Hmm!" Qin Wei looked at him suspiciously.
Lan Yuehou looked up at the Awakening Spirit Fruit Tree and said, "The Awakening Spirit Fruit is ripe in June, and they will come in May!" ”
"And I'll return to the Qiongtian Sea as soon as they come."
In fact, Lan Yuehou didn't have to go back so early, but he felt that staying here would only be in a dilemma, so it was better to leave early.
"It's okay, in a few years, I will also go to the Qiongtian Sea area." Qin Wei nodded and said.
"Haha, you'll see a different me then!" Lan Yuehou said with a smile.
"Oh! Where will it be different? Qin Wei saw his stunned look and couldn't help but want to slap him.
"Innate above!" Lan Yuehou said.
Qin Wei looked at him in surprise, "Sure?" ”
"Seventy percent!" Lan Yuehou said.
Qin Wei said happily: "Then I congratulate you in advance!" ”
It is difficult to break through the innate bottleneck, and not every strong person in the innate three realms can break through to the silent realm. Qualifications, resources, opportunities, and heritage are all indispensable.
Lan Yuehou can be seventy percent sure, which means that he has found his own opportunity.
Lan Yuehou raised his head and poured a sip of wine.
"Let's wait until you get through this time."
Although he knew that Qin Wei liked to hide his strength, he didn't think that Qin Wei would be able to stop the Dongfang family.
The more he learned about the Dongfang family, the less confident he had in Qin Wei.
Perhaps the Dongfang Family is not a powerful force in the Qiongtian Sea Region, but in this spiritual wasteland, the Dongfang Family is definitely the most powerful existence.
As for Qin Wei saying that he would go to the Qiongtian Sea Area, he didn't care.
Maybe Qin Wei needs him back even more.
"It seems that you have no faith in me!"
Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Not really, it's just that there are some powerful beings that are incomprehensible in this spiritual wasteland." Lan Yuehou said.
"Silent Realm!"
"Yes and no!"
"God's Artistic Conception!"
Lan Yuehou raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the background of your big glass is deeper than I imagined!" ”
Da Li has the technique of breaking through to the Silent Illumination Realm, but for the artistic conception of the gods, it is more rare than the Silent Illumination Realm.
The comprehension of artistic conception has always been more difficult than the improvement of cultivation, and it can only be understood but not spoken, which is the most difficult place to comprehend artistic conception.
Cultivation exercises can be guided by others, but the perception of artistic conception can only rely on oneself.
Of course, Qin Wei also knew the gap between the Silent Illumination Realm and the Divine Artistic Conception, although in the realm, the two belonged to the same level, but in terms of the performance of strength, the artistic conception was far more powerful than the cultivation.
Of course, this is not to say that cultivation is not important, for martial artists, cultivation is the foundation.
"No, it's that I have more power than you think." The corners of Qin Wei's mouth curled slightly.
Lan Yuehou is good at everything, but this pretending to be forced is not good.
Maybe it's because he's from the Qiongtian Sea, and he will unconsciously feel a little superior to anyone in the face of anyone.
So Qin Wei didn't mind pretending to be in front of him.
Lan Yuehou glanced at him deeply and didn't say anything more.
He could feel Qin Wei's confidence.
