Chapter 26 Currency Replacement

"You know you're scared?" Li Qing teased.

Shi Heng was silent, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, some things were not thought of and nothing, but if he thought about it deeply, he would understand the disaster.

He's not smart, but at least he's in his right mind.

Yes, although he has merit, he is not yet a hereditary marquis, and he is the commander-in-chief of the army...... Shi Heng wiped the cold sweat on his face and said:

"You... Is there any good way to do it? โ€

Shi Heng swallowed his saliva and said, "I know that you are dedicated to the country, and you definitely don't want a capable military general like me to be framed by those dogs, otherwise you won't care about me, right?" โ€

"Yo, how did you get smarter now?" Li Qing was surprised.

"......," Shi Heng said, "Didn't you realize this layer before, actually... I think I'm okay with my brain. โ€

Li Qing rolled his eyes, "Are you willing to listen to me now?" โ€

"Of course I do!" Shi Heng nodded hurriedly and asked, "That... The emperor doesn't know about this yet, right? โ€

"I don't know." Li Qing spread his hands, "However, the factory guards don't eat dry rice, don't take chances." โ€

Shi Heng's face turned white: "Li... Sir, do you think I still have a chance? โ€

"Of course." Li Qing said with a smile: "As the saying goes: the prodigal son does not change his money when he turns around; You haven't broken the emperor's bottom line yet, and you still have time to remedy it. โ€

"Hey, then I... What should I do? Shi Heng was confused, "Or should I bear the blame?" โ€

"Not really." Li Qing shook his head and said, "If you really want to put it on the table, there will be more people involved, the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and if you want a stable situation, you only need to do two things well." โ€

"You say."

Li Qing stretched out a finger: "First, how much benefit you have received from others, return it immediately, otherwise they will send it to you in the future." โ€

Then, he stretched out another finger, "Second, above the court, stand on the emperor without a brain, and face the civil officials, so as to prove to the emperor that his investment is not in vain." โ€

Li Qingdao said: "Do these two things well, the previous sins, I think the emperor will not pursue them again." โ€

Shi Heng nodded slowly: "I understand, I'll return the things tomorrow and cut off contact with them in the future." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Well, it's good to be secretly, but at least on the surface. Li Qingdao said, "As an official in the same dynasty, don't look up and look down, and don't make too much trouble;

You just have to uphold the disagreement with the civil officials, and you can do it. โ€

"Laughing in the face, knife in the back?" Shi Heng said hesitantly.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Li Qing was relieved, "You have to understand these things early, and you won't be beaten by this beating, let alone beaten by your eldest nephew." โ€

Shi Hengqiang smiled, he didn't dare to settle accounts with Li Qing, and the evil fire in his heart could only be vented on his eldest nephew.

Little Cub, I can't spare you...... Shi Heng secretly sneered.

But he forgot that he couldn't beat his eldest nephew.

Should I say it or not, Shi Heng does have some ...... Not very smart look.

"What is going on today...... Even if it's in the past. Shi Heng was beaten badly, and he almost died, he confessed his feelings in his heart, but he couldn't say anything flattering.

"I'll go back first."

"Well, go ahead." Li Qing waved his hand and enjoyed the night view alone.

I didn't go home until late at night to rest.

Next.

Li Qing got up early, washed up and changed into official clothes, and sat in the courtyard waiting.

At the beginning of the morning, people from all walks of life arrived one after another, and the small courtyard couldn't be crowded.

Li Qing had no choice but to group them on the way to the Baoyuan Bureau.

He Yong kept thinking about Li Qing's goodness and wanted to help him do something, and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be prepared in advance, I'll take someone to do it." โ€

"Hmm... You take the second and third teams to the vegetable market to publicize, and say that the treasure money can be exchanged for copper coins, consistent banknotes, 100 Wen. โ€

"Done." He Yong nodded in agreement, and was about to do it, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You broke up everyone, do you have to give me a token or something?" โ€

Li Qing said with a smile: "No need, I am the person in charge, you just say that it is my order, no one dares not to listen." โ€

"That's it." He Yong turned his horse's head and went to the back to call someone.

~

Baoyuan Bureau.

Li Qing said hello in advance, and the Baoyuan Bureau supervised it, and he was waiting early.

Basically, there was no waste of time, and as soon as the person arrived at the place, he went directly to the warehouse.

When he arrived at the door, the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau rubbed his hands and said: "Lord Li, so many people have gone in, it is really not in accordance with the rules, and there is no need for so many people. โ€

His official position is greater than Li Qing's, but Li Qing is a Qincha at this time, and Qincha is a senior official.

"Yes." Li Qing nodded and selected the number one hundred and ten people from the first team.

When the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau saw that the candidate had been selected, he immediately said to these people: "The clothes are all taken off, and they are stripped naked." โ€

The face of the hundred and tenth people was full of reluctance, and he hesitated and refused to take it off.

Li Qing immediately said: "At a fixed price, those who are willing to move the money will add an additional ten taels of silver per person, but they must move all the money out." โ€

Ten taels of silver is really a lot, and soon someone took off their clothes, and even those who were not selected began to take off, but Li Qing stopped them in time.

After a few moments, the 100th crotch master was ready.

Seeing this, the supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the lock.

One hundred and ten people rushed into the warehouse and carried copper coins out one by one.

In fact, there is no need to be so rigorous, after all, copper coins are not valuable, and they can't take risks, but the rules are like this, and Li Qing is not good at making it difficult for people to do it. รณฮ ัŠ.oั๏ผง

Half an hour later, dozens of wagons were filled.

The supervisor of the Baoyuan Bureau stepped forward and said, "Lord Li, according to the rules, these people have to stay here until the treasury is emptied. โ€

"Hmm... Come on, they do manual work, and don't be stingy with food. Li Qingdao said, "I can reimburse the expenses later." โ€

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

Li Qing turned around and waved his hand, "Let's go, go to the vegetable market." โ€

โ€ฆ

When I arrived at the vegetable market, it was almost noon.

After the propaganda of Heyong, coupled with the people running to tell each other, this place was crowded with people.

Li Qing said to the waiter of the Criminal Department, "Take the five teams to organize the order, clear out a vacant land, and let the people line up in ......."

Calculating the width of the street and removing the space required for the carriage to pass, Li Qing said: "Line up in five." โ€

The waiter of the criminal department nodded and took the people away.

Everything is ready, and people are hungry.

However, looking at the people who couldn't wait, Li Qing could only start exchanging it head-on, and at the same time, ordered someone to destroy the food.

The purchasing power of treasure money gradually decreased, and the people did not want to hold treasure money anymore, although they were always willing to exchange money for only 100 wen.

Without him, the purchasing power of a hundred copper coins is greater than that of the usual banknotes.

The officials of the six ministries are responsible for the exchange, the Hanlin Yuan keeps accounts, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises, the factory guards supervise the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and Li Qing... The uncle sat on the chair like an uncle, guarding the treasure money exchanged.

Half an hour later, the meal was delivered, and the halfway break was a quarter of an hour, and then the exchange continued.

At the time of Shen, the copper coins of dozens of carriages were exchanged.

Li Qing took the account book and the exchanged treasure money and entered the palace to reply to the decree.

Zhu Qiyu's side was also prepared early, and under the auspices of the Hubu Shangshu, the eunuchs who were proficient in calculations began to reconcile, and the abacus crackled......

At the end of Shen Shi, after confirming that it was correct, Li Qing left the palace.

The next day, as usual.

โ€ฆ

As time passed, the news of the imperial court's exchange of treasure money spread farther and farther, and more and more people came to exchange it.

The business is becoming more and more proficient, from the initial change once a day, to three changes in two days, and then to two changes a day, and the efficiency is also getting higher and higher.

It only took more than 20 days, and it took less than 20,000 copper coins to exchange it in Beijing, and only a few people came to exchange it.

But Li Qing suspected that they were scalpers, so he stopped directly, and for this reason, many people scolded him behind his back.

In fact, in the long run, it doesn't matter whether it is exchanged or not, because the treasure money will still circulate, the exchange rate has been fixed, and those who have not been replaced will not suffer a loss.

But the people can't see this, and Li Qing is not less scolded.

After Zhu Qiyu heard about it, he also specially helped Li Qing explain, some effects, but not much.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qiyu simply didn't let Li Qing do this errand.

already has experience, and the team has also been led by Li Qing, and various departments are holding each other back, so there is nothing to worry about.

So, the eunuch Xiao Hengzi, the eunuch who took the baton, took the baton and went to Tianjin Wei to replace it.

The commander of the East Factory is responsible for the escort of copper coins, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is responsible for the safety of the road, and the right capital of the Imperial Court is supervised, in addition to six sections to the matter.

Li Qing is happy to be idle, just make a sample.

As soon as he grasps everything, he is tired and vomits blood, and he can't catch it.
