Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 230 Come and see, the white flowers are so beautiful

Seeing that the mother and daughter did not leave, Lu Zhi probably thought that they were waiting for his reply, so he put down what he was doing and opened the account book first.

There is only the account of the account, there is nothing to look at, just look at the total amount lent, and add the remaining gold vouchers, it is right if there is no income or withdrawal.

After Lu Zhi read the account books, he counted the loan contract and the remaining gold invoices, and said: "There are no mistakes or omissions, you go to rest."

The mother and daughter nodded, but still did not leave.

Lu Zhi noticed their strangeness, and after being dazed for a while, he took out a bundle of the remaining golden tickets and handed them in front of the mother and daughter: "These golden tickets, you can keep them for flowers...to be the holy woman who people believe in." , after all, it needs to be ostentatious, not too shabby, not to be looked down upon."

Now, it was the mother and daughter who were stunned.

A bundle of gold tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels is worth ten thousand taels. Is this our pocket money?

But after being stunned, the envy in the eyes of the mother and daughter became even hotter.

What is power?
This is power!
Even if they hadn't been subjugated and exterminated, why did they ever decide to kill all kinds of money with one word like this?

"Thank you, Sister Ejin~!"

Facing the ten thousand taels of golden ticket, Queen Pasade let go of her arrogance decisively, thanked him politely, and took the golden ticket with both hands.

But when Lu Zhi heard her thank you, he suddenly frowned, and his gentle and quiet demeanor disappeared instantly, replaced by embarrassment: "What do you call me?!"

The appearance of her inciting a teacher to ask a crime really shocked Queen Pasadena.

The little girl, Anniewei, trembled even more, and then quietly moved her footsteps to distance herself from her mother...

Well, she was the one who yelled, it's none of my business!

Queen Pasade took a deep breath, and once again put on the proud queen posture. Lu Zhi's big reaction made her feel a little overwhelmed, so she said neither humble nor overbearing: "I am the queen, and you are the princess. You are more honorable than you. When you say sister, it is..."

Lu Zhi interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "I'm so young!"

Queen Pasade was stunned, she thought she was hallucinating again: "Ah???"

Lu Zhi repeated with a pretty face: "I'm so young~!"

Queen Pasade blinked her beautiful eyes, and exchanged a glance with the equally bewildered little padded jacket Annie Wei, and then said hesitantly, "That... is actually... not old..."

Anniwea was more proficient in her words, and immediately followed up: "Not old, definitely not old, full of charm, beautiful mother..."

Lu Zhi said unhappily: "Okay, I'm only double ten years old, where is my mother Yi Wanfang!"

Queen Pasade and Annie Wei, the air-tight jacket, were taken aback. After realizing what the meaning of "Double Ten Age" meant, they couldn't help but look at Lu Zhi again in astonishment.

It is beautiful, there is no doubt about that.

But... she is a gentle and dignified mature beauty, she doesn't look younger than Queen Pasade, she is about the same age as anyone else!

"Ahem, you... are you really 20 years old?"

Queen Pasade put down her haughty posture and asked in embarrassment, but after asking, she felt that it was too hurtful, so she immediately turned around and said, "It's my blindness, sister, you are a...

Anniewei reminded, "Dignity."

Queen Pasade nodded repeatedly: "Yes, dignified, younger sister, you are dignified and virtuous, not as frivolous as many young women, so I always feel that you are very mature, and Qin Xiang also loves the maturity of my younger sister..."

Aniewei knocked on the side drum again and said: "Yes, I heard that Prime Minister Qin likes mature women the most, and only dignified and virtuous mature women like you, Prime Minister Qin dare to entrust state affairs to each other..."

Lu Zhi was praised by the mother and daughter in turn, but he was a little embarrassed, and smiled wryly and waved his hands to let them not have to do so.

Then, stroking his pretty face that didn't match his age, he asked Queen Pasade, "I don't know how old you are, but you have the idea of ​​calling me sister?"

"Thirty have..."

Queen Pasade opened her mouth to answer, but when the words came to her mouth, she was afraid of hurting Lu Zhi's self-esteem, so she simply said: "Thirty is a whole~!"

Lu Zhi suddenly nodded, feeling much better, and said quietly: "Then you look old, I thought you were over 40 years old."

Queen Pasade: "..."

This old girl is definitely deliberately revenge.

The queen will only be 35 years old by the end of the year.

However, the cannibalism is short-handed and short-handed, and she has the ten thousand taels of gold ticket pocket money given by Lu Zhi in her hand, and she can't care about this Princess Daqin who will repay her, so she and Anniewei retreated resentfully.

"Am I looking old recently?"

After returning to the living room, Queen Pasade asked Aniwei a little angrily.

Anniewei shook her head immediately, and said obediently: "Mother is radiant, just like before."

Queen Pasade touched her pretty face, and sighed: "Recently, I have been busy with temple affairs, but I have neglected to maintain my appearance, especially during the time when the slaves were redeemed, and the wind and sun all day long, how could there be any harm?" What splendor..."

"But... even if I lose my luster, I won't look like I'm in my 40s, right?"

"The dignified princess of Qin, who is also in charge of the Hexi trade route, has more power than the kings of the west. I don't want to be so unforgiving. It's really unmannered. I didn't mean to slander her to show her old age..."

She said that in the end, she became angry again and began to complain about Lu Zhi's shrew character.

Anniewei suppressed her smile, and said, "Mother, why should you be so grieved, after all, this South China princess is just a merchant's daughter."

"His demeanor and self-cultivation are definitely not as good as the Princess Yuanman who received royal education since childhood..."

"Even, the education she received may not be as good as Princess Huayu, who was raised as a dancer since she was a child. After all, if she wants to become a dancer who is regarded as a guest by the nobles, her demeanor is only the most basic..."

"She has the power she has today, nothing more than relying on Prime Minister Qin, if she leaves Prime Minister Qin, she will still be the daughter of a merchant, not worth mentioning!"

This airy little padded jacket, which usually looks cute and cute, looks cute to everyone, but now it really makes people complain, its mouth is quite vicious.

Queen Pasade was satisfied when she heard the book, most of the anger dissipated in her heart, she proudly puffed out her chest and said, "That's right, as the descendants of Alexander the Great, we don't have the same knowledge as a merchant's daughter."

Seeing that she had calmed down, Aniwei said hesitantly again: "Mother's familiarity is more than a hundred times better than her fake familiarity. If it is with Qin Xiang...cough cough cough..."

In the middle of her speech, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she coughed a few times to stop the conversation.

Queen Pasade could probably guess what the unfinished words of the airtight padded jacket were, so she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows and gave her a blank look.

Anniewei shrunk her head and stuck out her pink tongue, returning to her harmless, obedient and cute state.

Queen Pasade shook her head helplessly, but her beautiful eyes looked at the side hall where Lu Zhi worked intentionally or unintentionally, envy appeared again in her eyes.

And disdain!

"It's rare to have a lot of money in my hands. I should take good care of it, otherwise I will really lose my luster."

Queen Pasade touched her pretty face and sighed, then took one of the bundles of gold tickets, handed it to Anneve and said, "You tell those ladies to go to the outer city to buy more fresh milk, today I want Take a milk bath."

"In addition, let them see if they can buy honey and olive oil from outside the region. Don't be afraid to spend money. If you don't have enough, come back to me anytime!"

"Okay."

Anniewei took the golden ticket and obediently agreed.

But when she turned around, the cuteness on Xiao Nizi's face had disappeared, and was replaced by a vaguely weird smile...

……

……

At the same time, the Xishi Qin Family Bank has now been renamed the Great Qin Royal Bank.

Merchants came and went in and out of the bank in an endless stream. When they went in, they usually led their assistants and carried heavy large and small boxes.

But when they come out, they are different, or carry out large and small boxes in the same way, or empty-handed.

Among them, [-]% of Hu merchants went in with big boxes and small boxes, and came out empty-handed.

On the second floor of the wine shop opposite the Qianzhuang, a group of young princes and princesses were lying at the window. Seeing another group of Hu merchants coming out empty-handed, they immediately chirped to Ying Zheng who was drinking behind him: "Father, there are Hu merchants sending money in for exchange." It's become banknotes..."

Ying Zheng smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Whether it is a Daqin merchant or a Hu merchant, as long as he sends gold or half taels to the royal bank, he will make money.

Gold coins are exquisitely minted, but because of their exquisiteness, a certain proportion of other metals are added to them to make them look exquisite, and they are also purer than ordinary gold.

If ordinary gold is used, after the fineness is appraised and exchanged for corresponding gold coins, the bank will invisibly make a fortune...

To put it another way, because ordinary gold is not good enough, 100 taels can usually only be exchanged for more than 100 taels of gold coins, but after the bank gets [-] taels of ordinary gold, it can be smelted and purified, and added to other metals , minting more than one hundred one or two gold coins.

It's just a white wolf with empty hands, making a lot of money!
Even if the merchants exchange half taels for gold coins, the bank will still make money... because the half taels recovered will be recast with the new minting process.

A certain proportion of other metals will also be added.

Take back one thousand and a half taels, turn around and mint about one thousand and one hundred new half taels.

It's still an empty-handed white wolf, and you can make money without losing money!

As for merchants who use gold and half taels to directly exchange them into gold tickets and money tickets, let alone...

Yingzheng picked up the lacquer cup, took a big sip of wine, calmed down his turbulent mood, and said to Qin Mo, "Aiqing, these new Hu merchants seem to like to use paper money even more than our Daqin merchants. , but those who have surplus money in their hands are all exchanged for banknotes, why?"

This question was also what Fu Su and old Fan Zeng wanted to ask, and the two of them immediately cheered up and waited for Qin Mo's reply.

Qin Mo explained with a smile: "Because our Great Qin has credibility, and because Your Majesty has credibility, as long as our Great Qin's goods can always be sold outside the territory, then paper money outside the territory is also hard currency."

If Yingzheng realized something, he sipped his drink and asked, "Aiqing said a few days ago that after the introduction of the new currency, foreign trade will be decided by our Great Qin, so that's why?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Exactly, it's not an exaggeration to say that in a few months, when banknotes become popular outside the region, if Daqin wants to attack that country, it can use banknotes to annihilate its domestic grain troops first." Buy them all, and wait until they have no food to eat and no armor to use, and then launch a fatal blow to them!"

"Of course, this is just the most stupid method...there should be more wonderful uses of paper currency, and it's just waiting for His Majesty and colleagues to slowly discover it!"

Ying Zheng gasped when he heard that, Fu Su and old Fan Zeng were also terrified.

Buying out a country with countless banknotes that can be printed at any time is much more ruthless than Guan Zhong playing with the Lu State with black cloth.

At the very least, Guan Zhong still exchanged real gold and real grain for Lu's onyx cloth, and the bewildered people of Lu didn't bother to farm.

And what are paper money?
With the Daqin Mint at full power, the golden tickets printed in a few days may be able to buy out a country!
And this is just the stupidest way to use paper money according to Qin Mo... Thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle...

"However, the promotion and ingenious use of banknotes are ultimately based on Daqin's reputation, His Majesty's reputation, and Daqin's unique merchandise."

"So banknotes can be used, but they cannot be abused. Once abused, the consequences will be unimaginable. The first unlucky person is not others, but me Daqin!"

Seeing the three people's eyeballs rolling around, Qin Mo didn't know what kind of idea they were holding back, so he reminded at the right time.

Yingzheng suddenly came back to his senses, and said: "When this banknote is issued, all the ministers in the court are trembling, especially that old guy Mao Jiao, whose hair has gone gray these days, like a madman, he writes dozens of memorials to me a day, for fear If there is a mistake... Who would dare to neglect and misuse a major policy related to people's livelihood?"

Qin Mo nodded sympathetically, with nothing but admiration in his heart.

Facing this huge new empire from top to bottom, the center is always trembling with trepidation, but there is no lack of courage to cross the river by feeling the stones, and its fearless pioneering spirit, which is undoubtedly admirable!
"There's an orchid going crazy outside...hahaha, dancing with bare buttocks...what a big grandma..."

At this time, the princes and princesses who were lying by the window watching the excitement suddenly yelled excitedly, and Hu Hai turned around to greet everyone in a very loyal way: "Father, brother, brother-in-law... Come and see, Bai Huahua!" It's so pretty..."

Ying Zheng and Qin Mo got up immediately, walked to the window excitedly, and looked downstairs with great interest.

Old Fan Zeng also leaned on a cane and came to the window, stretched his neck and looked down.

Fusu was speechless, and stepped forward as if chasing ducks, and drove the yelling young siblings to Yu Ji, Yuan Man, Lu Xiaomei and others, and let them watch.

Then, myself and a few older young masters leaned over to the window to look down.

Hu Hai became angry: "Brother Huang, why are you so unrighteous..."

Snapped--

Yuan Man waved his hands with a slap in the face.

Hu Hai's remaining words were abruptly beaten back into his stomach, and he changed his position and said angrily: "Kong Xian said, don't look at indecent insults. As soon as I shout, you will go and see, it is really indecent!"

Ying Zheng turned his head and saw his sons and daughters were looking at him, he couldn't help but blushed, and said solemnly to Zhao Gao: "Go down and arrest that orchid and her companions, and send them to the Neishi Mansion for punishment, it's really indecent."

"Here."

Zhao Gao took the order with his hands in his arms, and was about to go downstairs with a few plainclothes guards.

"Wait a minute, Zhao Fuling~!"

Qin Mo called Zhao Gao to stop, and said: "That orchid looks crazy, it's very weird, you might as well bring her and her companions up, and interrogate what's the reason..."
