I want to be a grandson

Chapter 506 The taste has not kept up
"All the goods are ready for you, just waiting for the buyer to come to your door."

In a restaurant, Wang Yi and Tie Xuan in disguise are meeting secretly.

Tie Xuan was wearing a long brocade dress and a hat covering his ears. He was lowering his head and playing with the teapot on the table.

Put the tea into the teapot, lift the boiling water next to it and pour it in, then cover the lid and shake it a few times, then pour out the tea. This is the first step in making tea: washing the tea.

After all, Tie Xuan was born as a literati, so he is good at playing with these things, he is skillful and looks decent.

"Come on, sit down and talk."

Wang Yi was taken aback, "There is no small place in front of the master..."

Iron Fist glanced at him and said, then lowered his voice and said, "If you don't sit down, you won't be acting well..."

Wang Yi knew that he was playing the role of Tie Xuan's servant, but the brocade and silk clothes alone seemed to be three points more expensive than Tie Xuan.

Wang Yi didn't know what was going on here, and he was confident that he was not as extravagant as a literati, so since he said so, he sat down.

Tie Xuan instructed: "From now on, you will act like my friend. Don't try to please you, and don't be polite. You must never address yourself as master and servant in front of people. This title of "Master" must be changed. Don't be afraid of it." must remember!"

"Yes, outsider..."

Although Wang Yi called Tie Xuan that way, he did not show the respectfulness of a servant to his master. Although his tone was respectful, he sat with Tie Xuan, really like an old friend.

Seeing him like this, Tie Xuan smiled and said, "You're a quick learner..."

Wang Yi smiled and said nothing.

In fact, Tie Xuan said that because Wang Yi is the younger brother of His Majesty's close servant, and he is still working for His Majesty, so in terms of identity, he is no different from himself.

Besides, the two have cooperated many times and are familiar with each other. In private, the relationship is not very good, but it is also relatively harmonious.

The relationship between the two is not a master and a servant, but if they insist on pretending to be that way, they miss the point.

Especially in the eyes of caring people.

The room where the two of them were sitting was very large, and there was no shelter around it, and someone had checked it before entering the door, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

And now there are also people on duty inside and outside the teahouse, even if others want to get close, they will be noticed long ago.

So no matter what the two of them are talking about here, as long as they are not talking loudly, they will never be heard by outsiders.

The walls have ears, and the confidential content discussed is heard by others. How could such a bloody plot be committed by relying on the author's superb IQ.

"Come, drink tea, and try my handicraft." Tie Xuan poured him a cup of tea, and the fragrance of the tea was overflowing.

Wang Yi was not too polite, took a sip of tea, smacked his lips and said, "It's all a bit bitter, and it's no different from drinking a big bowl of tea brewed with tea foam by the side of the road..."

Tie Xuan glared at him angrily, "This tea is expensive, if it's not for appearance, I wouldn't be willing to drink it, don't you know what's good or bad!"

"Yes, yes, the master's kindness must not be wasted..."

As he spoke, he tilted his neck, and a cup of tea fell into his stomach with a thud.

Seeing this, Tie Xuan shook his head helplessly, apparently disagreeing.

This cannot be blamed on Wang Yi, he has lived a hard life since he was a child, and he has never tasted any good things or drank any good tea.

That is to say, after working with His Majesty in the past few years, the money has become wider. Although it is not rich, at least it is not short of money.

When you arrive at the restaurant, you can order a table of big fish and meat and eat Hesai without feeling distressed, but people have lived in poverty for too long, and they don't have much taste for those extravagant things.

Just like in Master Xing's movie The Mermaid, Fuhao Liu can spend tens of billions, but he still loves the taste of roast chicken in private.

Wang Yi really couldn't taste any difference in the precious tea.

To put it simply, the taste has not improved yet.

The two drank tea for a while, and Wang Yi couldn't help but asked, "Master Tie, why are we just sitting like this?"

"What else can you do if you don't do it?"

"The task assigned by His Majesty is to find out the details of the other party..."

"The other party hasn't taken the bait yet. It won't be too late for them to take the bait. Besides, how do you know they haven't taken the bait now?"

"Your Excellency, you mean...they are staring at us outside the teahouse?"

"Sit for a while, because I will leave separately, and I will return to the capital. I believe they will come to the door in a few days."

Wang Yi nodded, not saying anything, he knew what Tie Xuan wanted to do.

After a while, the two left the teahouse separately, Tie Xuan took the carriage to the capital, while Wang Yi stayed in the inn.

The fact is also as Tie Xuan said, when they left, there were several eyeliners around the teahouse staring at them...

After Wang Yi returned to the inn, he immediately sent a message, telling Mr. Gao that the goods were ready and asked him to come and pick them up.

After waiting for several days, but there was no sign of the buyer, Wang Yi lost his temper with the person who was in charge of the joint, and told him that if Mr. Gao didn't accept the goods again, he would cancel the transaction!

This is tantamount to an ultimatum!

That night, in a secluded small courtyard, that Mr. Gao was sipping tea leisurely.

He poured a cup of tea from the teapot, put it under his nose and smelled it, his expression was very intoxicated.

In fact, he had already arrived, but he didn't show up right away.

After hearing the servant's report, he asked, "Do you think he is really impatient, or is he cheating?"

The subordinate reported: "If you return to the young master, give the young master two days. If the young master does not come forward to make a deal, he will immediately go back with the goods, and there will be no contact from then on..."

Without too much explanation, the servant expressed Wang Yi's attitude through this sentence.

This made Mr. Gao frowned. Of course he knew that the other party was waiting impatiently, but he didn't dare to act rashly before finding out the details of the other party...

Of course, the details here refer to Wang Yi's backer!

In ancient times, doing business, especially those that were not seen well, was often backed by someone, otherwise a small official could handle it, and the business would not be done.

Now Gao Yuan wants to know who is behind Wang Yi.

"My lord, Li Yun is back!" At this moment, the housekeeper came to report anxiously.

A relaxed look immediately appeared on Gao Yuan's face. Obviously, his nerves were also tense before, and he was just pretending to be relaxed.

Asked the man named Li Yun to come over, seeing that he wanted to salute, Gao Yuan hurriedly let him off, and asked, "Have you followed? Who is the other party?"

This servant named Li Yun had a dusty look on his face, and there was muddy water on his body when he was riding a horse. He looked a little tired,

"My lord, the little one followed that person all the way. He neither dared to get too close nor too far away, for fear that he would run away. He deliberately took some side roads. If he hadn't been careful, he would have been caught He was thrown away..."

Gao Yuan frowned, picked up a money bag from the table beside him, and threw it to him casually, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me quickly, have you found out about him!"

"Yes, yes, the little one found out, he went to the capital, but he disappeared as soon as he arrived in the capital..."

Gao Yuan frowned when he heard this.

"The villain didn't find out his background, but he seems to have some relationship with Cao Guogong. He entered Cao Guogong's mansion through the side door at night. The housekeeper sent him out, but he disappeared after he came out..."

"Duke Cao..."

Gao Yuan paced back and forth in the room.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, the Duke of Ming Dynasty, of course he knew.

If the other party followed Cao Guogong's route, he would indeed be able to obtain enough supplies to trade with himself.

Is it just that Li Jinglong will do this?

Wang Yi was trading with the Japanese slave country, wouldn't he know?
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed possible!
Because according to his informant, Wang Yi is just a pawn on the outside, all the goods are provided for him, and he is a "salesman", responsible for the delivery of goods.

In addition, Wang Yi's identity is a pirate, so he can't see the light at all.

If this matter is pursued, Mr. Cao Guo can be said to be a family business. As for who the goods are sold to, it is beyond his control.

Besides, which one of the noble families does not have a private business?
Some of them also violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Guogong is just one of them...

"Bet!"

Mr. Gao slapped the table with a slap, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

Thinking of his precarious position in the family, this matter cannot allow him to back down. If he doesn't come up with some means, he will completely lose the qualification to compete at home...

There are risks in doing anything, but the risk of this matter is not too big.

So Gao Yuan came to the inn where Wang Yi lived the next day, and faced Wang Yi's complaints, he naturally apologized in many ways.

He said very earnestly: "Brother is blaming the younger brother for being late. Alas, the younger brother has already prepared the itinerary and wanted to wait for the elder brother early, but the father at home has a serious illness. The condition is very serious.

The little brother had no choice but to look after his father, which was delayed, don't blame the big brother...

After this business is done, the younger brother must set up a banquet to apologize to the elder brother..."

When he said that, Wang Yi really couldn't say anything.

Bai Shan filial piety is the first, and the reason why his father is seriously ill is too strong!
Not even a robber can refute it!

In order to find an excuse, he pulled his father out, what else can you say?
"Since your father has an illness, it is indeed justifiable. Brother, don't take it to heart when you complain just now..."

"Where is it, it's really my little brother, isn't it..."

Wang Yi calmed down and said, "Brother, you also know that there are so many of these goods. If you don't sell them quickly, I will be in trouble if someone targets you..."

After that, the transaction process, inspection of the goods, and collection of money will start. Naturally, the people below will take care of these things, and there is no need for the two to do it by themselves.

Wang Yi and Gao Yuan set up a banquet in front of them, and they drank a few glasses of wine while waiting.

It's just that the mind is all on this business, and no one is in the mood to enjoy the delicious food.

So they ate and chatted one after another, and when they really had nothing to say, they kept silent and stopped talking.

"Big brother..."

One of his men came to Wang Yi's side, glanced at the plateau, and whispered to Wang Yi, "Brother, among the big money they gave, there are a lot of underground goods..."

"Underground goods" is a common term used by Wang Yi and his group of sea thieves, referring to privately minted copper coins.

"How much is this big money?"

"About [-] guan..."

Big money is also a kind of copper coin, but it is larger than common copper coins and its value is higher than ordinary copper coins.

When Zhu Yuanzhang called Wu Guogong, he set up Baoyuan Bureau to cast Dazhong Tongbao, with four hundred Wen as consistent, forty Wen as one tael, and four Wen as one coin.

After Zhu Yuanzhang formally inherited the reunification, he established the Hongwu money system in the eighth year of Hongwu, which was divided into Xiaoping, two-fold, three-fold, five-fold, and fifteen-dollar coins.

In addition to Nanjing Baoyuan Bureau, all provinces have set up Baoquan Bureau to cast Hongwu Tongbao.Xiaoping money has the word "Yiqian" on the right side of the perforation on the back, which is Jizhong.

If you fold two into two coins, fold three into three coins, and fold five into five coins, when ten is one or two, the back of the ten coins will have a "ten" on it in addition to the word "one or two". The word reads as 11 taels.This is the most authentic money born in the Yuan Dynasty.

This kind of copper coin is bigger than ordinary copper coins, not only big in size, but also big in denomination, so it is big money.

In other words, the big money was minted privately!

Wang Yi's face immediately darkened, "Brother Gao, I treat you as a brother, but you don't treat me as a brother..."

Gao Yuan hurriedly asked what was going on, and Wang Yi told about the fake big money.

Gao Yuan didn't panic, but still said: "Don't worry, big brother, although those big money are underground goods, but the material is enough, the quality is good, it doesn't affect the use at all, ordinary people can't see it, and this kind of big money is not uncommon. , if big brother is not happy, how about I bring it back next time?"

Wang Yi only expressed his dissatisfaction, but didn't delve into it.

Although the minting of private currency was suppressed by the government in the Ming Dynasty, it was banned repeatedly.

In addition, the government also has restrictions on the use of copper coins, and the people below are naturally willing to take risks when they see that it is profitable.

In the original history, the Ming Dynasty banned the use of copper coins in the 27th year of Hongwu, and only traded with precious banknotes, but this decree has little effect...

Regardless of the needs of the people and the market, any policy is doomed to be difficult to implement...

It's just that after Zhu Yunxi dealt with the government, he didn't issue this decree, so copper coins are still in circulation and use now.

Moreover, Wang Yi was willing to accept these counterfeit coins because he actually had another thought.

This year is the first year of Xuanwu, His Majesty is expected to mint Xuanwu Tongbao coins, and the imperial court will definitely crack down on counterfeit coins in order to maintain the status of copper coins in the imperial court.

It doesn't matter whether His Majesty will punish him severely or not, even if it is a show, it is necessary.

Maybe I can use this incident to make some contributions...

The premise is to find the old lair that minted coins privately, and take them all away!
It's hard, but you can think about it...
