Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 42

Coming to Yu's house again, Shen Zhezi obviously felt that the treatment was much better than last time.

Not long after being seated, a maid served tea soup, which was not the case when I came last time.Nowadays, drinking tea is only a dietary habit among southerners, and the overseas Chinese surname Yu is not so good.When he was in Jinling, Yu Yi was still able to make decisions at home, so he kept tea soup in consideration of Shen Zhezi's taste.

But after coming to Jiankang, Yu Liang didn't care about Shen Zhezi's taste, and only treated him with buttermilk.Shen Zhezi is not used to drinking this kind of drink similar to diluted cheese. The original taste is slightly sour, but sugar is too greasy, and cooking with oil is too strong. The last time I came to Yufu, I just tasted it.

It's not that Shen Zhezi has a small belly and caresses about these details, but he can't figure out why Yu Liang invited himself to be a guest, so he pays attention to the details and guesses Yu Liang's intentions.Although he also has guesses, it may not be the truth.

Besides, with Yu Liang's vision, even he can see that Jiangzhou is difficult to win, how could he not know.It's not Yu Liang's style to bow down to a child because he knows it's difficult.But if it wasn't for Fang Zhen, why did Yu Liang invite himself here?Could it be that Yu Liang was so embarrassed that he had to pull his father into his camp in order to maintain the situation?
When Shen Zhezi was wondering, Yu Liang had already walked into the hall. He didn't keep Shen Zhezi waiting for too long, and even forced a smile on him.This made Shen Zhezi both surprised and worried, this guy must be weird!
After a while, other members of the Yu family came here one after another, and the dinner party began soon.After the turmoil subsided, many members of the Yu family who stayed in Jinling also moved to Jiankang, and all five brothers of the Yu family were present.

Shen Zhezi knew that in the next 20 years or so, these brothers would take turns to control the center or divide Shanxi, especially Yu Liang, Yu Bing, and Yu Yi.

If it was the beginning of time travel, he might still be able to express his shock, but he is too lazy to be excited now.After all, my father has also got rid of the tragic fate in history and has become the commander and chief executive of the military region in charge of one side.Yu Liang's momentum has been established, and Shen Zhezi has no way to check and balance, but whether the youngest Yu Yi can become the brilliant Xiao Zhengxi in the future probably depends on Shen Zhezi's mood.

The next generation of the Yu family was also present, that is, Yu Bin, the eldest son of Yu Liang.Yu Bin was six years older than Shen Zhezi, and he was already a young man with a fledgling demeanor, inheriting his father's unsmiling appearance, only occasionally falling on Shen Zhezi.

Different from the contempt for Shen Zhezi by the rough children of Yu's family in Jinling, Yu Bin was quite curious about Shen Zhezi, a young man who could become his father's guest of honor.Especially in the past period of time, when his uncle Yu Tiao was at home, he often talked about "Zhezi Xiaolangjun" a few times, which made Yu Bin want to get in touch with the extremely intelligent young man in other people's mouths.

Although there were a lot of people in the seat, since Yu Liang was present, it was inevitable that there would be silence.It was not until Yu Liang got up to leave, and after the banquet was over, everyone regained some vitality, and went forward to exchange greetings with Shen Zhezi.

Shen Zhezi felt that Yu Liang's attitude was a bit weird, and he didn't want to stay in Yu's house for a long time, but he didn't want to slap his ass and leave after eating, so he chatted patiently with the Yu family brothers.Yu Bing and his elder brother seemed to be carved out of the same mold, and most of the discussions with Shen Zhezi were about the principles of "Book of Songs", because Shen Zhezi was a teacher of Ji Zhan.

Yu Yi called his son Yu Manzhi to come and admonished him to learn more from Shen Zhezi.Seeing Yu Manzhi's reserved face, Shen Zhezi laughed a little mischievously. Finally, he was also fortunate enough to be a child of other people's family.

Yu Bin also came to greet Shen Zhezi, with a polite attitude.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw this young man who still had a bit of childishness on his face. This guy probably didn't expect that his father, Yu Liang, would be killed in a military disaster in a few years because of his stupid tricks. The wife who had been married for two years was also forced to remarry, and it was even recorded in history.

Yu Bin is less than fifteen years old, but he already has a marriage contract with Zhuge Hui's daughter Zhuge Wenbiao, which is the most typical family marriage in this era.The Zhuge family in Langya is still known as the king and Ge together with the Wang family today, and they are clearly regarded as high-ranking. The Yu family can be married to him, which is faintly regarded as high-ranking.

In this era of family marriage, the age of marriage fluctuates a lot. Some people are over [-] because they can't find a suitable family, or they have a suitable family but no spouse of the right age, so they don't get married.Some family backgrounds and ages are suitable, and families need to deepen their ties with each other. It is common for people under the age of ten to get married.

Shen Zhezi had just passed his ninth birthday, so if you count the years by imaginary years, you can already say that he is ten years old.At this age, it is basically possible to visit high families to seek marriage. It will take several years to find a suitable family and be able to talk to each other.

Shen Zhezi had already begun to think seriously about his future marriage to the He family when he was extremely bored.To be honest, he doesn't have the kind of feelings that must be called true love. There are so many true loves in the world. As long as people are pleasing to the eye, have compatible personalities, and can live with each other, it is already considered a rare happiness.

The so-called marrying a wife requires virtuousness, and taking a concubine requires being charming. With his family's wealth, it's not that he can't afford a woman, so why bother to be obsessed with it.So in the final analysis, we still have to consider a more realistic issue, that is, family status.

There is a reason why I told my father before that I wanted a girl from the Wang family.But in fact, from Shen Zhezi's point of view, no matter how successful this matter is, Wang's daughter is not in his consideration, without him, the price/performance ratio is too low.

The only benefit that marrying a daughter of the Wang family can bring is that it can improve the family status, and taking the lead is a brother-in-law who is full of incompetence.Just as Director Wang commented on his nephew, "Tiger porpoise, tiger calf, people are just like their names", people like pigs and cows can't help, let alone, but it is extremely difficult to deal with the messy interpersonal relationship.

Marrying a daughter of the Wang family is even worse than marrying a royal princess.The next few emperors either succeeded to the throne at a young age, or enjoyed the country for a short time. The benefits of being an emperor's son-in-law are much greater than that of a king's son-in-law.

But this is not a good choice either, Shen Zhezi is too lazy to tolerate those bad tempers because there are so many shrewd emperors.

This is not an imminent issue. Shen Zhezi thinks about it now, because he doesn't want to be forced into a marriage by his father when he is unprepared.Maybe in the future he will be lucky enough to meet true love, as long as he is willing, he doesn't care about the noble family.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, the other brothers of the Yu family left, and Shen Zhezi also planned to leave, but Yu Tiao held him back, wanting to talk to him about his achievements during this period.

Shen Zhezi couldn't help but open his eyes when Yu Tiao made a list of what he had gained during this period.

There are already more than a dozen people on this list, all of whom are the so-called capital friends that Yu Tiao developed during this period of time.Some of them have the surname Shen Zhezi, the prefect of the county, but I have never heard of it. As for the current North and South Gaomen, there is none.

In this way, Shen Zhezi can also understand that these people are not necessarily all willing to join the gang because they were bewitched by Yu Tiao's words.It is probably because his own family is not very popular, and he wants to use this to climb up the high door of the Yu family, which is about to be lifted into the sky. It is not so much a developed offline, but a bribe for changing his name. He probably never thought of repaying the problem.

Shen Zhezi understands that in order to engage in pyramid schemes in this era, it is not acceptable to create theories behind closed doors. It needs to be constantly summarized and adjusted in the process of practice in order to gradually mature.But these are not important. The most important thing is that Yu Tiao made a list of the goods that entered the group, which really opened Shen Zhezi's eyes.

There is no other reason, but the types on this list are so varied that it makes people laugh and cry.

Such as "350 hu of japonica rice", "520 hu of wild rice", "[-] hu of sorghum rice", "Lianqian Wuduan" and "[-] pieces of plain silk". What the hell is this?Later generations have never heard of anyone pulling a few carts of grain to engage in pyramid schemes!

If these real objects are still light and can be sold into copper coins and counted uniformly, then the records about the amount of money make Shen Zhezi even more helpless.Zhibaiwuzhu, Daquan Wubai, Daquan Dangqian, Bilun, Siwen, Xiaowuzhu, there are more than a dozen types of money alone!

What Shen Zhezi saw and used before was all the small five baht minted by himself. Only after seeing Yu Tiao's accounts did he realize how chaotic the current currency is. No wonder food, cloth, even wood, bamboo and other real objects have to be taken out When the currency is used for transaction payment.

Only then did Shen Zhezi realize that he had taken it for granted.In such a chaotic currency state, how can it be possible to develop pyramid schemes? Without a unified currency, how to count rebates and expand the scale?
The so-called not selling firewood for hundreds of miles, not buying for thousands of miles, even if you don’t consider the price differences between different regions and years of abundance and hunger, the cost of collecting these so-called "money" is a huge expense.It is almost impossible to come up with this model without a unified currency standard!
While feeling a little frustrated, Shen Zhezi was also thinking about how to solve this problem.His family minted money, so the first thing he thought of was to cast a high-quality currency that could pass through all parties.To tell you the truth, the five baht coins made by the old man are really not very good. They all rely on cutting corners to make profits. Later generations have been ridiculed many times and are called elm pod coins.

The reason why this kind of small money can still be used is that the current currency is really chaotic, and the second is that the imperial court has never issued official currency, and there are still too few copper coins in circulation on the market.

However, if you want to cast high-quality copper coins, you can't do it with a pat on the head. The technical problem is still secondary. Once large-scale casting is carried out, the cost problem and raw material problem are not easy to solve.

Moreover, the problem of bad money driving out good money must also be considered. Even if Shen Zhezi doesn't know much about finance, he understands that once copper coins with sufficient copper content appear on the market, they must be collected and recycled for recasting, or stored as a store of value. Like gold and silver.

Reforming the currency system is a major event. In the prosperous Sui and Tang Dynasties, real objects were still needed as currency. In this era, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to complete it with the strength of one family.

But Shen Zhezi was a little unwilling to give up this big weapon.Just when he was frowning, Yu Tiao's words made him suddenly enlightened.

　I just found out today that there is a message after the author’s testimonials on the mobile version, and you can also write Fu. There are [-] or [-] children in a kindergarten class. If you don’t have any skills, how can you make the teacher notice me? How can you let the female classmates hold hands with me? Home. . .
