Molested Zulong at the beginning

After the scene was silent for a while, the little official of the bank slowly came back to his senses.

"Okay... I'll help the woman go through the formalities now."

He was a little trembling when he spoke, which was normal. Although he was born in the Ministry of Household Affairs, seeing someone throwing out so much money at once would make anyone feel a little dazed.

Soon, carriages stopped at the gate of the bank.

Widow Qing's servants carried heavy boxes and walked in. As the boxes were opened, the piles of copper coins, under the sunlight, made it difficult for people to open their eyes.

"My God, there are at least a few thousand pieces in this box. With so many boxes, why does this woman need anyone?"

"This person is Qing, a widow from Bashu. There are not many merchants in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her."

"It turned out to be her, no wonder she can come up with such a generous amount."

Amidst the discussions of the surrounding people, all the small officials in the bank started to work in full swing.

Although the process was very boring, the crowd of onlookers did not disperse in the slightest, and instead grew more and more.

After all, with such a large sum of money in front of him, even if it is not his own, it would be better if he can enjoy his eyesight.

Finally, after tapping.

The person in charge of the bank took out twenty ten thousand copper notes and handed them over.

There are patterns of birds and animals drawn on it, with a special serial number, which looks extraordinarily delicate.

It's just that compared to the boxes of copper coins that were pulled over in a few carriages just now, and now they have been exchanged for these light paper tickets, it is somewhat unreal.

"So much money was exchanged for these few pieces of paper. If this is lost, wouldn't it be heartbreaking."

"You are stupid, how can you withdraw such a large amount of money casually? Didn't you see someone record information and issue an identity certificate? Even if you hand us the copper ticket, we can't withdraw it when we get it to the bank."

"So that's the case. Looking at it this way, the bank is indeed safe."

After listening to the explanation, everyone suddenly realized and nodded.

After the first leader took the lead, the following things naturally became a matter of course, and the people behind also saved money one after another.

After doing all this, the widow Qing didn't say much, after saluting slightly to Bai Su in the distance, she gradually left in the carriage.

"Young master... this widow is a smart person."

Liu Ji's peach blossom eyes froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but said after a long time.

Bai Su couldn't help but nodded too: "As expected of a businessman that even Sister Zheng approves of."

If it were an ordinary businessman, after doing such a favor, he would definitely not be able to help but come over to get closer and show his dedication.

Such a person is easy to make people feel disgusted, and they usually give some rewards as rewards, and the relationship between the two is completely cleared from then on.

After doing all this, the widow Qing kept silent, which made people feel good. She kept the favor owed to her by the court, and might even save her own life when she really needed help in the future.

This is the real smart man.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Su said, "This widow Qing really did me a favor. In this way... if she encounters any troubles in her business in Xianyang, you can send someone to help her take care of her."

Liu Ji nodded: "Understood, I'll give the order right away."

When she was about to leave, Bai Su grabbed her hand suddenly, and she couldn't help but be taken aback: "Your...Young master, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Su looked at her with a smile that was not a smile: "How can you leave the flames of war you just provoked before it subsides?"

"Master, I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Regret now, it's too late, I'm going to kill you Loulan tonight, let's see if you dare to hide..."

As Bai Su said, he hugged Liu Ji and walked into the wing.

On the way, Liu Ji's coiled hair fell down, and the black hair fell like a waterfall, and the delicate hairpin fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Bai Su reached out and swept the things on the table to the ground one after another, and then let Liu Ji sit on the table, his round and slender jade legs hanging down.

The door was closed, the curtains were closed, the lights were blown out, and the room was plunged into darkness.

He could only vaguely see that boots, belts, and official robes were randomly thrown on the ground.

There was a sound of panting like a wave and a wave, and it kept coming.

Chapter 110 Two was bitten

After an unknown amount of time, the room slowly returned to calm.

At this time Liu Ji was completely out of strength, she closed her eyes slightly, lying lazily on the bed, panting heavily from time to time in her slightly opened mouth.

The thin silk quilt could barely cover the vitals of her plump body, and a pair of slender legs were exposed, which looked extraordinarily sexy.

Bai Su gently brushed away Liu Ji's hair that was sticking to her side face due to sweat, but she didn't react at all during the journey, she didn't even open her eyes, obviously she was too tired.

Bai Su brushed away the last strand of hair from her face, and said with a smile: "Now, I know I was wrong, let's see if you dare to hide it in the future."

Liu Ji reluctantly opened his tired eyes, with a hint of complaint in his tone: "My lord, you are so bad, you smile so sweetly, but taste so salty."

Bai Su smiled and said, "Well, life is multi-faceted. Life is always full of ups and downs, or... some other flavors."

Liu Ji couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw Bai Su talking in such a serious manner.

Sure enough, looking at the whole world, it was possible to subdue her.

There was only this guy in front of her, who made her like and annoyed at the same time.

She was a little annoyed, subconsciously opened her mouth, and bit Bai Su's finger touching her cheek.

But because he was really tired, the force was very light and didn't hurt at all. Instead, Bai Su gently pulled out his finger and stretched it out again.

This weird movement made Liu Ji stunned for a moment.

She looked up and saw Bai Su's subtle expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and she seemed to realize something immediately, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

Embarrassed and annoyed, Liu Ji bit his bright teeth hard.

Involuntarily, Bai Su's gasping voice could be heard from the room.

......

......

at the same time.

The copper banknotes of the Great Xia, after being issued, soon caused a storm in various places.

In addition to Xianyang, Bai Su also established branches of Daxia Bank in Beiting Protectorate, Western Region Protectorate, and all over the Central Plains.

Because it is an institution under the imperial court, most of the positions in the early stage were filled by imperial officials, and only some unimportant ordinary positions were recruited from the common people.

As for the right to issue the banknotes, printing templates, seals, etc., everything is monopolized by the Shaofu in Xianyang.

After all, it's much safer this way.

Bai Su originally thought that it would take at least three to five months for such a new thing to appear, for the common people to gradually get used to it.

But I didn't expect that under the leadership of many businessmen, in just a few days, the savings rate of Daxia Bank continued to rise, which attracted many officials from the household department in the court to report to the political sister.

The bank in Shaofu should be handed over to the household department to take charge of it. The reason is that the household department is more professional.

But the actual reason is that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the scale of funds controlled by this bank is really too large. It would be enviable to put such power in the hands of a courtier.

Bai Su didn't have any opinion on this.

After all, he has no interest in official career or money, so there is no need to concentrate so many powers in his own hands, to make people jealous and cause trouble.

If other officials are acceptable and have the ability to manage the bank, he has no objection to handing it over.

Compared with the ups and downs in the court.

At this moment, Bai Su is leisurely in the Shaofu, discussing matters with Mo Xun, the great Mohist.

Wearing a blue robe, Mo Xun looked dignified and dignified, giving off the impression of a scholarly family, but she seemed to have some congenital disease, her complexion was slightly pale, and she looked a little sick.

She coughed lightly, and said immediately: "My lord... This is the tea you mentioned. I have fried it according to the method you said. Let's see if it is the same as what you said."

Bai Su grabbed a handful of tea leaves, the tea leaves are very light, exuding a faint fragrance, the smell is very pleasant.

It is almost the same as the tea in his impression.

He praised with a smile on his face: "As expected of a giant of the Mo family, Miss Mo Xun's craftsmanship is really superb. I didn't expect that I just mentioned a few words to you casually, and you really made it."

Mo Xun sighed slightly, and said: "My Mo family has been wandering among the people since ancient times, worshiping all people as teachers, learning farming from farmers, and learning smelting from blacksmiths, with the goal of inheriting the culture of the predecessors and exploring the laws of nature. Every state has a little understanding."

"Although this is the first time I've heard of this fried tea, it's not difficult for us to make it."

"After all, when our Mohist family was in the mountains and jungles, when we were avoiding the chaos of war, we made everything from the stitches of the clothes on our bodies to the agricultural tools of Nongsang."

Bai Su looked at the young girl in front of him, but her tone and demeanor were extremely mature, and couldn't help sighing.

No wonder, Mohism was once very prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was tit for tat against Confucianism.

This strength of character, perseverance, and philosophy are all the flesh and blood that support China's culture.

A trace of doubt appeared in Mo Xun's almond eyes: "Master, this tea is very good, why did you fry it?"

Although tea has been available in the world for a long time now, it has not been regarded as a drink, but as a medicinal material, which is used to reduce internal heat and detoxify.

The doctor will often grind the tea leaves into powder, and let people go back and boil them into herbal soup to drink.

This is the first time she has seen the method of frying tea leaves like Bai Su.

Bai Su smiled: "Of course it's for drinking."

"drink?"

Mo Xun was taken aback for a moment, a strange look appeared on his face, he wondered if there was something wrong with Bai Su, why should he drink herbal soup when he is in good health?

Bai Su poured a cup of hot water to soak the tea leaves, and handed them over with a smile: "Just try it."

Mo Xun took a curious look at the slowly brewing tea leaves and the slightly green tea, and he couldn't help feeling a little curious in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a sip and her eyes widened.

It felt a bit bitter at the first taste, but as it slowly penetrated into the throat, it suddenly felt a faint fragrance, which made people breathe out refreshed.

Seeing her surprised look, Bai Su smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

"The taste is very strange, but...it makes people like it very much, and it has an endless aftertaste."

After thinking for a while, Mo Xun looked at Bai Su: "My lord asked me to make this thing, is it just for drinking?"

Bai Su took a sip of the tea and said, "I don't just want to drink it myself, I also want people in the world, even grasslands, and people in the Western Regions to drink it together."

Mo Xun heard what Bai Su meant, and asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, you mean that you want to use this tea as a commodity for trade?"

"As expected of a giant of the Mohist family, he is really smart..."

Bai Su nodded, and did not hide anything: "For us, this tea is just a drink, but for the herdsmen on the grasslands, the herdsmen in the Western Regions, it is a life-saving thing."

"They eat meat all the year round, lack vegetables in winter, and suffer from gastrointestinal diseases after a long time. Whether they are nobles or commoners, it is inevitable."

"And my tea is not only delicious, but also can improve gastrointestinal diseases. As long as it is compressed into hard tea bricks and sealed in a box, even if it is stored for decades, it will not be damaged for hundreds of years."

"It can be sold to grasslands, deserts, and various countries. First, it will earn money for us in the Central Plains and increase our economic influence. Second, it can also improve the economy of Bashu."

"This land of the old Qi is located on the coast of the East China Sea. Just by boiling the sea into salt, the world can become rich. The land of the old Song Dynasty is the core of the Central Plains. There are countless fertile fields. A land with abundant harvests will make the world worry-free."

"But in comparison, the land of Bashu is really poor. Except for the plains around Chengdu, most of the rest are mountainous lands. There is not much land that can be used for farming and mulberry. It is simply poor."

"If you don't care about it, there will be chaos in the land of Bashu sooner or later. The world will be chaotic before Shu is chaotic, and the world is in great order before Shu is ruled."

"If you want to improve the local people's livelihood, you can only start with this industry."

"The land of Bashu is full of tea trees, almost occupying more than half of the Central Plains. If the local people are allowed to grow tea, along with the Western Regions, businessmen from the grasslands will continue to come and go to the Central Plains, and the scale of trade will continue to expand."

"With the support of silk, Shu brocade, tea and other industries, the land of Bashu will gradually prosper."

Mo Xun looked at Bai Su, who was chattering beside him, and couldn't help opening his mouth wide, his beautiful eyes glowing with brilliance.

She seemed to have seen the tip of the iceberg of Bai Su's dazzling talent under his light-flicking appearance. At this moment, she finally understood why His Majesty regards Bai Su so highly, and why so many people in the world are willing to respect him as a sage.

Those so-called kind-hearted officials and lords, the upright officials in the court, were nothing more than serving rice porridge to show their kindness when the local floods and refugees were everywhere, or they played to the court to ask for food relief to suppress the rebellion.

But for the land of Bashu, why such a place is poor, why there are refugees, and the reasons for the rebellion, they have never turned a blind eye.

But Bai Su didn't think about distributing food or money, but wanted to fundamentally support local industries to reduce poverty and the birth of refugees.

This kind of practice is simply unheard of.

After pondering for a long time, Mo Xun sincerely admired, "My lord...you are truly a sage."
