Chapter 134 Sample Coins (210)

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Qi report to the prefect, this time a total of 13 rebels were killed and 26 were arrested. They are from Shen Faxing of Jiangnan Road."

Li Yizhi nodded slowly, his expression softened a lot.

In fact, what he cares about is not the assassination incident itself, but whether Chen Yuan's role in the incident has rebelled.

If the other party really betrayed, then he had no choice but to make up his mind to vigorously cleanse the city guards.

Luo Tong must also be dismissed, even if the other party is completely unaware.

Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

From Chen Yuan's expression and his reply, it can be seen that the suppression of the bandits should be real, but he was tricked by others to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

Li Yizhi continued to ask: "The two sides blocking the street, have you checked it out?"

Chen Yuan understood Li Yizhi's meaning, and hurriedly replied: "I have already checked it out, it should be a coincidence. They are both in the rice business, and they usually fight openly and secretly, so this time they just met on the street, and neither of them would give in. , they quarreled and blocked the street."

Hearing this, Li Yizhi lamented in his heart that the mastermind behind the scenes had superb methods, skillfully used all parties, planned meticulously, and left no clues at all.

But in fact, leaving no clues is the biggest flaw.

In Yangzhou city, Yu Wenhua was the only force that could do this and control the overall situation.

It's just that he still has some doubts, why did Yu Huaji send such a weak killer?
One must know that the previous two Yin Kaishan and Yougui were innate masters who had been famous for many years.

Li Yizhi said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan, you have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits this time, but you have also been used by others. Let the merits and demerits be equalized. As for you, Luo Tong, you didn't find out that a large number of rebels gathered in the city in advance. It's you For dereliction of duty, I will fine you three months' salary. Can you accept it?"

"The end will accept the punishment!"

Luo Tong and the two heaved a sigh of relief, grateful in their hearts.

They knew that Li Yizhi was showing mercy.

"Ah."

Li Yizhi hummed, and said: "Now that a large number of forces are gathering in Yangzhou, Luo Tong, you have a heavy responsibility. You must ensure the absolute stability of the city and strictly check the people who enter the city. For any troublemakers, we will do our best to suppress them and show no mercy."

"Yes, prefect."

"Okay, you go down."

Watching the two leave, Li Yizhi looked at Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi, and asked, "During the few days I was away, what happened?"

"Nothing happened, but these days, the number of refugees pouring into Jiangdu has increased a lot. Even though we do our best to resettle them, there are still many people who can't reclaim the land temporarily because of insufficient farm tools. They can only raise them first. And there will probably be more in the future.”

Xue Zhen hurriedly said: "However, we have sent people to other places to buy farm tools and cattle. I believe that after a while, the situation should be alleviated."

Li Yizhi pondered and said: "You can't just raise the refugees like this. Firstly, it will cost a lot, and secondly, it is easy to be deceived by others, which may threaten the local area. In this way, the government will pay and hire people who are temporarily unable to reclaim the land, and work in various places in Jiangdu County. Building water conservancy, building bridges and paving roads must keep the refugees busy."

Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi hurriedly dissuaded them: "The prefect can't do it. Just to resettle the refugees, we have already seriously exceeded our budget. We need to borrow money from the Universal Bank. If we build water conservancy projects on a large scale, I'm afraid it will cost even more."

They actually want to persuade and directly recruit those refugees to work.

It's just that they know the character of their own prefect, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing that hurts the people.

"It doesn't matter. Whether it's building water conservancy or building bridges and paving roads, although it costs a lot at the moment, as long as we survive this period of time, the development of Jiangdu County in the future will definitely be a matter of a hundred years."

Li Yizhi waved his hand and said: "What's more, when the people become rich, their hearts will be at ease, and they will not be taken advantage of by those who want to. As for the silver, all will be withdrawn from the Universal Bank first, and I will discuss it with Tian Wen later. "

Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi could only nod upon hearing this.

Anyway, this is a good thing for the people, and they can only obey it, and maybe they can leave a good name in the history books.

After discussing political affairs, Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi left.

Li Yizhi was about to get up when someone came to report that Tian Wen had come to visit.

Not long after, Tian Wen walked in quickly. He looked up at Li Yizhi and said with a sigh of relief: "When I first entered the city, I heard that you were stabbed in the street. It seems that nothing happened."

Li Yizhi smiled and said, "It's just a scratch on the palm of my hand, and it's fine now. By the way, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Well, the production of sample coins you ordered last time has now been completed. I am here this time to let you see whether these sample coins are qualified!"

As Tian Wen said, he handed over the black wooden box in his hand.

Li Yizhi took it, opened it, and found that there were three kinds of gold, silver and copper inside, a total of nine sample coins.

These sample coins are beautifully made and come in different sizes, all of which are round on the outside and square on the inside.

Li Yizhi picked up the largest gold coin, which was golden in color with clear lines, and the word 'Sui Jin Wuliang' was printed on the front.

"This is a five tael gold coin, of which the gold content is about [-]%, and the other three are other metals. According to what you said before, there are three types of gold, silver and copper coins, namely one, two, and five. Among each coin, Both contain about [-] percent other metals."

When Tian Wen said this, his tone couldn't help trembling, and he said excitedly: "If our set of coins can be issued, it means that we can make more than [-]% of the profit just by minting coins, which is simply stealing money. "

Li Yizhi said with a smile: "It's faster to steal money than to issue coins. I checked and found that there is basically no problem with such coins. Have you tested it? If someone else imitates it, what will the cost be?"

The advantages of stamping coins are fast and exquisite.

However, no matter how exquisite coins are, some people can imitate them.

However, as long as it can be guaranteed, the cost of imitation by others is higher than that of the coin itself.Then, even if the imitators are not cracked down, no one will imitate.

Tian Wen said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have already tested it. Even if it is the top craftsman, the cost of imitating the nine kinds of coins is much higher than that of the coins themselves, so there will be absolutely no one to take the trouble to thank you." to imitate."

"So good!"

Li Yizhi smiled happily: "Well, Mr. Tian, ​​after you go back, you will make all your efforts to make coins, and when the time is right, we will do our best to promote them."

"okay!"

"By the way, there is one more thing. I temporarily borrowed 40 taels of silver from the Song family, and you will send someone to the Song family's fleet to accept it later. In the future, the prefect's mansion will build large-scale water conservancy projects and borrow more money from the Four Seas Bank. silver."

…………

Jiangdu Palace.

The news of Yu Chisheng's assassination had already come back, and it was Yu Shiji who reported it immediately.

If it was other military news, he would usually withhold it directly and would not tell Yang Guang at all, but this matter was different, it was related to the 10 taels of silver that Li Yizhi promised him.

Yang Guang was furious when he received the memorial.

You said that you are a great general, whether you were killed in battle or assassinated in the barracks, that can be forgiven.

However, if you don't fight a good battle and go hunting, this is already a serious dereliction of duty.

In the end, he was assassinated. This is simply too much to deserve, and it is extremely ridiculous!
