Wei and Jin Cooks

  Chapter 652 Interview

  Ming Yu reached out to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, can you show me the copper plate?"

  The shopkeeper turned his head and glanced at him, glanced at Yuan Li and the others who were walking with him, and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Lang from out of town?"

  Ming Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, I just arrived in Luoyang."

  The shopkeeper showed him the money and explained: "This is our new money in Luoyang."

  Ming Yu turned the copper coins in his hand, saw the small "Zhao" character in the lower left corner of the quilt, and was speechless for a while.

  Since his illness, he has been slow to receive news from the outside world, and after Yan Heng's death, he was even more focused on recuperating from his illness, thinking about escaping from Yuncheng, but he didn't know that the outside world had changed so much.

  Does Gou Xi know that Zhao Hanzhang minted new money?

   Is this new money only used in Luoyang, or is it also used in Yuzhou?

  If it is also used in Yuzhou, will it be used in the Lianghu area, Sichuan, Xiliang and other places that have close contacts with Yuzhou?

  If these places are also used, are the old and new coins equivalent?

  If it is equivalent, will Zhao Hanzhang's new currency replace the old imperial currency one day?

  Ming Yu clenched the copper coins in his hands, feeling ups and downs. When that day really came, would all the localities buy money from Zhao Hanzhang, or mint coins themselves?

  If everyone minted their own coins, wouldn’t the world’s currencies be in chaos?

   "Lang Jun, Lang Jun?" The shopkeeper anxiously looked at the copper coin that was tightly held in his hand. He only promised to show it to him, but he didn't agree to give it to him.

  Ming Yu came back to his senses, took out a copper coin from his wallet and gave it to him, and said with a smile, "How about I exchange this copper coin with an old one?"

  The store owner is naturally fine, and puts it into the money box with the new money after receiving it.

  Ming looked at it and knew that the new money was worth the same as the old money, at least among ordinary people in Luoyang.

  Ming had eaten dinner, and was even more eager to see Zhao Hanzhang, so he didn't stay long, just got up and left, he still held the new coin in his hand.

  Zhao Hanzhang only knew that Ming Yu had set off for Luoyang, but he didn't know when he would arrive. After all, he was in poor health and his travel speed was uncertain.

  That's why she didn't receive the news until Ming Yu stood in front of Zhao's house.

  Zhao Hanzhang is not in the city, she is training outside the city, Yuan Li also said to Ming Yu: "Today is a single day, so you should be in the barracks."

  Every single day, Zhao Hanzhang has to go to the army to train troops. Government affairs are as important as military affairs, especially the quality of the soldiers under her command. This directly determines whether she can keep the power of Yuzhou and Luoyang, and she cannot relax.

  Ming Yu saw Ji Yuan first.

  The two counselors met each other, both of whom were famous, looked at each other, moved away after touching each other, and both raised their hands to give each other a deep bow.

  Ji Yuan stood up after saluting, smiled sideways and said, "Please, Mr. Ming."

  Ming Yu didn't hold back, and brought Ji Yuan in together.

Ji Yuan took him directly to the guest courtyard to settle down. The two people’s yards were adjacent to each other, and they were all similar small yards. The main room and hall inside were elegantly furnished, and there was also a small kitchen. .

  Ming did not expect that Zhao Hanzhang would directly settle him in Zhao's house, and he would be treated the same as Ji Yuan, which warmed his cold heart.

  He looked at his entourage.

  The entourage immediately stepped forward with a burden in their arms.

  Ming Yu opened the package, and there was an urn inside. He carried it around the room, pinched his hands, and finally chose a location with the best Feng Shui to put the box down.

   Yuan Li, who followed them, frowned, and placed an urn in the envoy's house?

   Ji Yuan, however, had no expression on his face, and watched calmly. After he put the urn away, he said, "I have a censer, Mr. Yan may like it."

  Ming accepted his kindness in advance.

  By the time Zhao Hanzhang hurried back from the barracks, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu had already sat at the table before Yan Henggao's case and drank for three rounds.

  Zhao Hanzhang was still wearing armor, and walked in bang bang. When Mingyu looked up, he saw her walking against the light, her face was almost unrecognizable, but for some reason, Mingyu's heart immediately settled down.

  He smiled slightly, stood up and saluted.

  Before he lowered his hand, Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward to grasp his hand, helped him up, and said with a hearty smile: "Why do you need to be so polite, Mr. Ming, I have been looking forward to your coming, and today I finally waited for you."

Ming Yu raised his head to look at Zhao Hanzhang, who was generous and bright, and couldn't help showing a slight smile, "Thank you for saving your life, Shijun Zhao. I knew that Shijun Zhao's ambition was not low, and I yearned for it. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to talk with him today. "

  Zhao Hanzhang knew that although he came, he must follow her before he was sure, because he wanted to get to know her deeply before making a decision.

  Zhao Hanzhang was not annoyed, he turned his head and ordered people to prepare wine and dishes, and then said: "Mr.

  Ming Yu smiled and nodded.

   Zhao Hanzhang walked away, and when he took off his armor, the maid outside ran over and said, "Sister He, the kitchen said that there is no meat to buy today, so go to the market to buy now, but there is not enough money in the kitchen."

   "I have the key here, come and get it, open the money box to get a string of money, and ask the kitchen to bring back two jugs of wine."

  Zhao Hanzhang took off all his armor and put on his clothes under the service of Ting He, saying: "Why is wine so cheap? A bunch of money can buy meat and wine?"

   "The wine sold loosely in the market," Ting He said: "That wine smells good and is cheap, girl, the money at home is limited, you should drink that first, and I will buy you better wine when you have money later."

   All right, Zhao Hanzhang is not picky, "Make more meat."

  She hasn't eaten meat for two days.

   Ting He responded with a smile.

   Zhao Hanzhang changed his clothes, **** his sleeves, and went to see Mingyu in a clean suit.

  Her sleeves are narrow sleeves, which are called arrow sleeves by the people according to the Hu system, which is very convenient for movement.

   Ming Yu was still sitting and drinking with Ji Yuan. Seeing Zhao Hanzhang striding forward, he stood up and bowed slightly, looking him up and down carefully.

  Zhao Hanzhang has the beauty and talent unique to women of this era, but what attracts the most attention is the heroism and openness that women of this era, even men, lack.

   It was her generosity that made people admire from the bottom of their hearts. The three of them sat down in order of priority, and the kitchen sent some snacks for them to eat with wine.

  Ming asked in advance: "I have traveled all the way, and I have seen that all the capitals outside Luoyang have recognized Zhao as the Lord. Do you want to take Henan County for your own use?"

   "Yes," Zhao Hanzhang did not deny it, and said, "Luoyang is just a city. Although there are natural dangers, it is still not safe enough. It needs the help of other counties, so I want to take Henan County."

   "What about Sizhou?" Ming Yu asked, "Besides Sizhou, there is Yongzhou. What should Zhao Shijun do?"

   "I only take over unclaimed land, which was occupied by Zhao Han. The rest of the land is managed by officials appointed by His Majesty. I can help one or two, but I will not fight with them to fight for the land."

See you tomorrow
