Chapter 182 Exchange Iron Money

It’s fun to watch without ads!

Leng Yi smiled quickly and said: "Brother, don't worry, my mouth is locked."

Wang Jien nodded: "Well, after the officials came to the throne, they have always wanted to develop their ambitions. Soon they will use troops to attack the Northern Han and Liao Kingdoms to expand their territory. At the same time, they want to vigorously develop farming. However, iron tools are now in short supply.

, a large amount of iron was used to cast iron coins. This amount is very alarming. The government plans to start casting a large number of copper coins this year in exchange for iron coins on the market, which will be used to cast iron plows and other farm tools and distribute them to the refugees.

, let them cultivate the ownerless wasteland. If there is any surplus, they will forge weapons and expand their armaments."

Leng Yi didn't pay much attention to this. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and said: "How are the officials going to acquire the law?"

"According to the current exchange rate, it is usually one hundred copper coins for one hundred copper coins. However, in order to encourage everyone to exchange iron coins for copper coins, the method of exchanging one hundred and five copper coins for one hundred iron coins is adopted. However, in general, the exchange rate is one hundred copper coins for one hundred iron coins.

The quality of the iron in the area is very good, so the purchase price is estimated to be one hundred and ten copper coins for one hundred iron coins! Do you understand, dear brother?"

Leng Yi thought, this is a good opportunity to make a fortune. Now the exchange of silver and iron coins is the same as that of copper coins. One tael of silver is exchanged for a thousand coins. If you exchange all the gold and silver in your hand for iron coins before the exchange,

At that time, you can earn 10%! You still have more than 400 taels of gold in your hand, which is 4 million fen. Through replacement, you can turn it into 4.1 million fen! A net profit of 100,000 fen!

Of course, the money is not too much, and he can think of ways to make more money. Leng Yi already had an idea in his mind. He handed it over and said, "I don't know when to start implementing it?"

"It will definitely be implemented within half a month!"

"That's great! Thank you for your advice, brother. After making money, I will never forget my brother."

Wang Jien smiled knowingly: "It will be easy for us two to make money together."

Leng Yi said again: "I have another idea. I want to ask my brother to report it to the officials."

"Just tell us what you want. We brothers, you're welcome."

"It's like this. The disaster in Bazhou was very serious. You must have seen it on the way to the city. You can take a look around in the city tomorrow to deepen your impression. Many shops have been closed and transferred. After the disaster, the business will definitely not be

It's easy to do. I would like to ask my brother to petition the government. Can I also exempt Bazhou from commercial taxes for three years?"

"You don't have many businesses in Bazhou, do you?"

"It is precisely because there is not much, tax exemption will make the people more grateful. Moreover, only after the merchants' business resumes can the entire Bazhou situation prosper. With this good policy, ah no, good treatment, it can attract more

Only when more merchants do business in Bazhou can Bazhou become prosperous. As long as more businesses are opened, after three years, the court can quickly make up for the tax exemptions in these three years."

Wang Jien nodded: "That's right, okay, I'll tell the officials when I get back. I don't think this is a big problem. The officials will agree."

Leng Yi thought for a while and then said: "This year's disaster relief grain, plus our own grain in Bazhou, is estimated to only last about half a year, and the flood in Bazhou destroyed most of the rice fields. This year there is almost no harvest.

.So, this famine will last for more than a year, and in the spring of next year, the entire Bazhou will be out of food. At that time, can we ask the government to allocate more food for disaster relief?"

Wang Jien shook his head and said: "This is absolutely impossible. I can tell you the truth. Except for Bazhou, there are no other prefectures and counties for this disaster relief. That is because you have found the jade seal of the country. The official family

I'll give you a face. The reason is very simple. The imperial court is preparing to attack the Northern Han and Daliao. The Northern Han is trivial. The most important thing is Daliao, which must be dealt with with all the strength of the country. Therefore, the officials are now collecting military rations from all over the country and doing their best to ensure

In terms of military supplies, it is impossible to provide food for disaster relief, so you can only solve it yourself."

Leng Yi nodded and said, "I understand."

Wang Jien added: "The attack on Daliao is a national event. It is the first battle after the official succeeds to the throne. It can only be won but not defeated. You must not cause chaos and obstruction to the official at this time. This is some advice from me, brother.

"

"Yes, thank you brother for reminding me."

Wang Jien chatted a few more words, then stood up and left.

After seeing off Wang Jien, Leng Yi returned home and saw Zhuo Qiaoniang in the room looking blankly at the box of gold and silver jewelry given to her by Queen Kaibao.

Leng Yi said: "What's wrong?"

Zhuo Qiao Niang was lost in thought and was startled by these words. She quickly stood up and helped Leng Yi sit down on the couch. She sat next to him and said, "My lord, why did the queen give me these jewels?"

ah?"

Leng Yi smiled and said: "Just keep it if I give it to you. There is no need to ask so many questions."

"But, I feel uneasy in my heart."

"What's wrong?" Leng Yi said, "Okay, let me tell you, because I helped Queen Kaibao do a good job as an official, she was very satisfied, so she rewarded me. The emperor rewarded me, the queen

Naturally I will reward you, right?"

"That's it." Zhuo Qiaoniang finally showed a smile on her face.

Leng Yi said that Queen Kaibao was very satisfied, but in fact, she was pounding in her heart. She was promoted by Queen Kaibao, but the jade seal he found was not given to her, but was given to the emperor. She didn't know what she was thinking.

This is the first time I rewarded my wife, but I don’t know what the purpose is.

After Leng Yi learned that Queen Kaibao had rewarded his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang, he had been thinking about it. According to the inside story now known, and according to the agreement of the legendary Golden Chamber Alliance, the throne was to be passed to Zhao Tingmei through Zhao Guangyi and then back to Zhao Tingmei.

It was given to Zhao Dezhao, the son of Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also planned to give the imperial seal to his son Zhao Dezhao when he died in the future. He also declared many times that an emperor without the imperial seal could not pass the throne to his descendants, otherwise he would

Will curse the emperor. From this point of view, this imperial seal has become an important guarantee for Zhao Dezhao to regain the throne.

Zhao Dezhao is the son of Empress Kaibao, so Empress Kaibao naturally has to think about her son. She sent her personal bodyguards, sisters Cheng Luojie, to look for the stolen imperial seal and the Golden Chamber Covenant, in order to ensure that the throne could be passed back to her son. However,

Now that the Imperial Seal has been given to the emperor, the possibility of her son regaining the throne is greatly reduced. Logically speaking, she should be dissatisfied with herself for doing this, but she still rewards him generously. What does this mean?

Could it be that she knew that it was impossible for Zhao Guangyi to pass the throne to her son and simply gave up the idea, so she was putting on a show for the current emperor Zhao Guangyi?

No matter how smart Leng Yi was, he could never imagine what was happening in the palace thousands of miles away.

After Zhuo Qiaoniang heard what Leng Yi said, she opened the brocade box with confidence, and saw that it was full of jewelry, which shone brightly and illuminated the room a lot.

Has Zhuo Qiao Niang ever seen so many exquisite jewelry? She carefully picked up a pearl necklace and compared it around her neck. Maid Cao Sui quickly brought her a bronze mirror to show her.

Zhuo Qiaoniang took off the red coral necklace from her neck and put on the pearl necklace. She looked left and right in front of the bronze mirror and said to Leng Yi with a red face: "My lord, does it look good?"

Leng Yi looked away from the red coral necklace given by Zhuoma, smiled and said: "It's very beautiful. My wife has a beautiful face, and when she wears this necklace, she will be like a fairy descending to earth!"

Zhuo Qiaoniang took off the necklace and put it back into the box, still wearing the red coral necklace around her neck.

Leng Yi was a little surprised and said, "Why don't you wear that?"

Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled and said: "I think the officials like this one better. Anyway, the necklace is for the officials to see."

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed, as if her thoughts had been read through, and he chose a gold bracelet inlaid with red and green jewels from the brocade box, put it on Zhuo Qiaoniang, and said: "You are missing a bracelet on your hand.

This is just right and matches the necklace around your neck."

Zhuo Qiaoniang picked up her hand, looked around, and then looked at the necklace around her neck in the bronze mirror, and said happily: "It really matches well. Thank you, officer!"

Leng Yi said to Cao Sui: "Your sins have been forgiven. You will be free from now on, and you will no longer have to be my maid. Where do you want to go? I will arrange to send you there."

Caosui lifted her robe and knelt down, saying: "Master, my life was rewarded by my master and grandma. If it weren't for my master and grandma, I would have died long ago. In my heart, I regard my master and grandma as my real parents. I beg you, master."

Grandma, let me serve you all my life." As she said this, she kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhuo Qiao Niang quickly helped her up and turned to look at Leng Yi: "Officer, look at this...?"

Leng Yi also felt that Caosui was smart and a good helper. He was a little reluctant to let her go. After thinking about it, he said: "Otherwise, I will definitely not be a slave anymore. You have the hosta of Queen Kaibao on you.

Who dares to make you a slave? Do you want to risk your life?"

Caosui and Zhuo Qiaoniang both burst into laughter.

Leng Yi said again: "Since you are willing to stay, that's fine. How about you consider yourself my wife's sister and I will be your brother-in-law?"

"I don't dare!" Caosui was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Zhuo Qiao Niang. Zhuo Qiao Niang said: "This is a good idea, sir! We recognize each other as sisters, and it is fate that we can be together. What do you think?"

?”

Caosui held Zhuo Qiaoniang's hand gratefully and said, "I really don't dare to climb high..."

"You are trying to climb high and climb low," Leng Yi said. "If you don't agree to this, then we won't dare to keep you."

Caosui nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, little sister, thank you sister and brother-in-law!"

Zhuo Qiao Niang happily pulled her, and the two knelt down in front of the incense table, kowtowed to the sisters.

Leng Yi was very happy and said: "Okay, sisters, please talk to me. I have to go to the study to handle some urgent business. If I don't come out, don't disturb me."

"Okay!" Zhuo Qiaoniang and Cao Sui nodded in agreement.

Leng Yi returned to his study, changed his clothes, put on a human skin mask, climbed over the wall and left the house, and went straight to Xinghuang Restaurant. (You are welcome to come and your support is my biggest motivation.)
