   Chapter 621 Mind Floating

  The emperor read the letter carefully, got up excitedly and turned around twice, he was a little worried, he took out the letter and read it carefully.

   He licked his lips nervously, wanting to recruit people to discuss now, but thinking about the difficulties of these years, he endured it again.

   Zhao Hanzhang is right, this matter should be dealt with slowly.

  The emperor was quiet, and he just waited until the next day to summon some of his confidants and Zhao Zhongyu.

   He asked them quietly, "Yan Heng was killed by General Gou, do many people around him go to pay their respects?"

   Several ministers did not understand why the emperor mentioned this matter. It has been several days, and Yan Heng has turned into ashes, but someone still said: "There should be a lot, didn't Zhao Shangshu go that day?"

  Yan Heng died at the hands of Gou Xi, and no one went to offer condolences except for the generals who had a good relationship with him, and only Zhao Zhongyu was the only minister who went to the court.

   They are not familiar with Yan Heng.

The emperor immediately looked at Zhao Zhongyu and asked with concern, "I don't know who they are, and what is the situation?"

Zhao Zhongyu also found it strange and didn't understand why the emperor was interested in this matter, but he still said earnestly: "The funeral was presided over by Ming, and General Wen, General Pei, and General Wang all came to express their condolences in person, Fu who couldn't come back in time. The generals also sent their lieutenants to offer condolences."

   Seeing that the emperor listened carefully, Zhao Zhongyu described it in detail, mainly some of the words they said during their condolences, among which there was no lack of complaints against Gou Xi.

   After speaking, Zhao Zhongyu seemed to feel something, and vaguely guessed the emperor's original intention.

   Several other ministers who were in the audience also realized it. They looked at each other and sat up straight, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

   "Your Majesty also thinks that General Gou has done something wrong?"

The Emperor    glanced at Zhao Zhongyu and sighed: "When Yan Heng was brought into the General's Mansion, I once decreed that I wanted General Gou to give him a way out of his past friendship, but I didn't expect it to be too late."

   Zhao Zhongyu immediately said: "Yes, Yan Heng has followed General Gou for many years, without credit or hard work, not to mention this time is to persuade General Gou, and General Gou should not kill him because of this."

   Needless to say, the next words need not be obvious. The emperor said: "I heard that Mr. Ming is in bed for this serious illness. Gu Qing, take a doctor to see Mr. Ming, and persuade him to be happy."

  Ming Yu was an aide, and he relied on Gou Xi. He had no military power in his hands. Naturally, the emperor did not want to compete with Gou Xi for Ming Yu, but to give Gou Xi's generals an attitude and show them to them.

   After seeing Ming Yu, he can send someone to comfort his generals who feel sad about the death of a rabbit this time.

  The emperor worked hard and quietly dug Gou Xi's corner, while Zhao Hanzhang released his new money openly.

   Her new money was printed in abundance.

   Baskets of copper coins were sent into the treasury, and then they traded with themselves, taking out the pearls, precious stones, porcelain, etc. that were about to fall from the treasury. After roughly calculating the price, they exchanged them for copper coins.

   These things will be divided into several parts and handed over to the caravan, and let them take them to the field to trade.

   In addition, Zhao Ji Pawnshop officially opened.

Zhao Hanzhang directly occupied three shops. Oh, these three shops were originally from the Zhao family. They were the dowry left by Zhao Changyu. Later, she changed it to Zhao Zhongyu and went around, and now she is back to her. on hand.

   The three connected pawnshops are so large because Luoyang has less money and there are many people who need to exchange money.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to post an announcement, saying that starting today, the transactions in the market should be dominated by copper coins.

   In the process of bartering, merchants may suffer, and individuals may suffer. Everyone feels that they are at a loss. Even if they change things, they are in a bad mood.

  Before, because he had no money and wanted copper coins, Zhao Hanzhang had to let the caravan go far away and sell the goods for money.

   But the return trip only takes money and loses money, so the caravan will only leave a small amount of money, and most of the rest will be exchanged for food and cloth to be pulled back and sold.

   But because Luoyang has little money, they can always receive all kinds of things in addition to money and want to barter.

   If the caravan is purely a caravan, that's all, they can be domineering and say no, as long as they have money.

   But they are not. These caravans are organized by Ji Yuan, in the name of Zhao Hanzhang, so they also have a bit of a public nature.

  If even Zhao Hanzhang was unwilling to barter to the people for food, then they would have no way to survive.

   Therefore, the caravan can always exchange for a mess of things that can be used or not.

  The things that are not needed can only be shipped out again, but this time, it takes at least 20 days, and the return of funds is particularly slow.

   Now that Zhao Hanzhang makes his own money, the middle link is omitted, and even the caravan does not have to be so painful.

   When they left this time, in addition to all kinds of goods, they could also take two carts of new money to buy goods in other places.

  The new money was exchanged, and there was more money in the market. Zhao Hanzhang walked to the street again, and there were fewer quarrels because he couldn't talk about barter.

   Zhao Kuan's workload has plummeted, and he no longer has to work overtime until late at night every day.

   So on this day, he was free to have dinner with Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Erlang, and Zhao Yunxin.

  It was brothers and sisters at the dinner table, not the governor and the county magistrate, so he exhaled and said to Zhao Hanzhang carelessly, "Because of the new money, there are no people who have been beaten by the county government recently because of trade disputes."

   He said: "If I knew that things could be solved with money, I should have made money earlier."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Eighty percent of the things in this world can be solved with money. What you said, I thought there was a lot of money out there."

   Zhao Kuan said in a relaxed manner: "I didn't have it before, isn't it now? Let Tinghan cast more."

   "How can money be cast casually," Zhao Hanzhang said: "How much money is cast has to be calculated. If money is cast without restraint, the market will collapse."

   Zhao Erlang didn't understand this, so he just asked, "Sister, now that you are rich, can you pay for the army?"

   "No," Zhao Hanzhang said depressedly: "The money in the money shop is not mine, my money is only in the treasury."

   Zhao Erlang looked at Fu Tinghan and said, "Brother-in-law, can you lend money to my sister and pay us military wages first?"

   Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "The money is not mine either."

   Zhao Erlang stared, "Why isn't it yours, it's clearly you who made it."

   Zhao Hanzhang felt that he had to explain the ownership of the money. He couldn't eat this meal tonight, so he simply asked: "Why do you want military pay?"

   Zhao Erlang doesn't have much desire for money, except that he likes sparkling jewelry, and the army is covered with food and food.
