Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 486 Shopping!

Because Wu Zhi brought huge benefits to Song Huizong.

He wants to protect Wu Zhi.

There is nothing wrong with this. He is not stupid for those courtiers who cannot bring benefits to Song Huizong and want to suppress those who give him benefits.

So instead, Wu Zhi was given a gold medal for avoiding death.

Just to tell the courtiers, how did you get Wu Zhi to keep him safe.

Song Huizong left, with Wu Zhi.

Backwards.

The courtiers were filled with anger, knowing that even if Wu Zhi did something terribly wrong in the future, he would be able to survive with the gold medal for avoiding death.

The three generations of the family can even be exonerated, which is an open protection of Wu Zhi.

None of the royal family members are treated like this, but a foreign minister can.

Where can the people of the royal family find balance.

The four noble families of the Song Dynasty became even more angry from embarrassment.

These families are extremely influential, one is the Wang family, the other is the Li family, the Feng family, and the Liu family.

But today, they all found Cai Jing and stayed in his mansion as guests.

Cai Jing is also the prime minister, and these people want to win over Cai Jing after being deflated.

The members of the four major families chatted happily with Cai Jing.

They were not so close before, but now because they have to deal with Wu Zhi, they have made a lot of connections.

They didn't go home until midnight, and they were still the housekeepers of Cai's mansion, and they sent people to escort them back one by one.

At this moment, Cai You worried in his heart: "Father, people from these families have found us now, but Prime Minister Wu is not easy to deal with. What should we do!"

Cai Jing shook his head, and said: "Now Wu Zhi fights against so many people alone, even these big families can't do anything to him, not to mention them, even the truth is like a fake in the court, and it has no practical effect at all."

"No matter how many things Wu Zhi does, he is protected by the officials, but on the contrary, there are also disadvantages. If there is a crack in the relationship between the officials and Wu Zhi, he will become a loner!"

"So, we have a chance! Wu Zhi's trouble with the banknotes this time made people panic, and even killed the prince. This Prince Jin is really an idiot. He can die of anger after losing a little silver. It is also a useless thing!

Fortunately, he also has a little role. After all, he is the official's brother. After his death, there must be a little trace in the official's heart.It's just not working at the moment! "

"But over time, if Wu Zhi does a few more things that have a big impact, it may cause the relationship between the two parties to break down!"

Cai You nodded: "Father means that Prime Minister Wu is not invincible, but the time has not yet come?"

Cai You nodded, he could only think so, but he suddenly thought of another question: "By the way, Dad, the crown prince came to me yesterday!

The boy is worried about standing in line in the future! "

Hearing this, Cai Jing's face was serious: "Remember, Prince Zhao Heng, don't get close!"

"This is a vortex!"

Cai Jing solemnly said: "You must not touch this red line, otherwise even father will not be able to save you!"

"Now that the official family is still there, it is too early for you to contact the prince! Besides, it is very unwise for Zhao Heng and Wu Zhi to face each other head-on. , don’t act lightly before then!”

Cai You nodded: "Father, the child understands!"

Indeed, since ancient times, too many princes have been abolished.

They don't know who will make it to the end, not to mention that the crown prince didn't flatter Wu Zhi, but ran into Wu Zhi because of Zhang Lingduo's matter.

Very irrational indeed.

Although Zhao Heng has a group of veterans behind him, and there are many people who support him, but after all, the officials are here, and no one can say for sure in the future.

In short, it's better not to touch his Cai family.

Cai Jing: "The situation in the imperial court is changing rapidly. If something goes wrong, you may do something wrong, and it will be irreversible at that time! Don't act rashly!"

Cai You knew that his father was more tactful, and he was moved by the prince's contact with him before.

Hearing what the old man said now, he immediately dismissed the idea of ​​being in close contact with the prince.

now.

As time passes by little by little.

The Song Dynasty promoted banknotes in various places.

With Bianjing City as the center, it continues to spread in all directions.

Everyone in Wu Zhi is busy.

Bianjing city has replaced gold and silver with banknotes, and other places are slowly changing.

Paper money is really convenient for the common people, so the common people are willing to accept it.

In the past, they dragged their own grain to sell in a horse-drawn cart, and they returned with a lot of copper coins.

Extremely inconvenient and conspicuous.

Now they just come back with some banknotes, and they can even store them in the bank and exchange them later.

Paper money is lighter at all times.Save a lot of unnecessary trouble and expenses.

And there is another advantage of banknotes. If you put silver taels on your chest, it will inevitably bulge and make people suspect that it is money. Unlike banknotes, you can hardly see anything when you put them on your chest clothes, and they are not heavy.

Avoid the risk of being stolen.

There are some thieves on the street, they will stare at the people on the road, whoever has silver on their bodies will make a crisp sound of metal colliding when walking, it is easy for people to know that they have money.

There are no banknotes, and they are not sure whether they have a lot of money on them, so it is difficult for them to start.

Therefore, after the issuance of banknotes, the theft and robbery in Da Song became less than before.

For example, checks for large-value transactions are not sent by the person themselves, and there is no relevant seal, even if you are given a check, you can’t exchange it for silver. Such large-value transactions, even if thieves rob them, it is useless.

People now trust banks.

After all, it was opened by the Song Dynasty, so it is still guaranteed.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for three hundred banknotes, and 300 yuan can be saved for a little, and the common people can use it for at least two months.

Now that the weather is good in the Song Dynasty, they can still eat meat.

There is more food, better income, better food, better sleep, and better quality of life.

The common people were very happy, but Song Huizong was even happier.

Now Wu Zhi can go out, Song Huizong took Li Yan, and went to other places with Wu Zhi for a private visit.

Not many people have seen Song Huizong himself, let alone he is dressed as a scholar, who can know him?
When he was looking for Wu Zhi, it was Li Yan who sent the letter. When Wu Zhi came out, he saw a carriage. Song Huizong opened the curtain and faced him with a slightly mature but smiling face. Then he beckoned and let Wu Zhi go too. The carriage is gone.

Wu Zhi: "Your Majesty, this is..."

Song Huizong: "Brother Wu, I'm going out today to get some fresh air, and by the way, see if this banknote is really so useful in the market today!"

Wu Zhi knew that Zhao Ji was very playful, so he joined him.

Song Huizong is very interesting. He came out this time with a handful of gold leaves and a pile of banknotes.

Walking to a cake shop, Song Huizong threw a small gold leaf on the table after eating.

That counts as paying the bill.

But the boss came out: "This guest officer, why is it a gold leaf? Our store accepts banknotes!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi smiled and took out some banknotes to pay.

Song Huizong still didn't believe it. He went to another place and took out a relatively large gold leaf.

I also use this thing to check out, but still no one wants it, they all accept banknotes.

This is the case in several places in a row.

Song Huizong held the gold and looked at the people in the streets and alleys. The shop owners traded with banknotes. He was stunned and suddenly felt that he was not from this world.

Weird, really weird.

The things used by the dead have really become the currency circulating in the world of the living!

Song Huizong was very confused at this moment, as if he had traveled through time.

This time, they went to a restaurant.

"Boss, serve all your best dishes!"

"Okay, sir, just wait a moment!"

The hotel will serve all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and spicy stir-fry in a short while.

Song Huizong ate spicy fish and sighed with emotion at the same time: "Brother Wu, the current situation in the Song Dynasty is unprecedented. I can see the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I, Zhao Ji, feel inexplicably moved."

"Thanks to Brother Wu!"

"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about!" Wu Zhi and Song Huizong were complimenting each other.

After Song Huizong had a full meal, he saw many people paying with banknotes. He waved his hand: "Boss, pay!"

He is going to try it.

This time, he produced a few small notes, followed by a gold ingot.

"how much is it?"

"400 yuan!"

"Is this enough?"

Seeing this, the boss smiled: "Guest officer, who still uses gold these days? Everyone uses banknotes. I only recognize banknotes but not gold and silver!"

"..."

Song Huizong had no choice but to take out banknotes to settle the bill.

Although gold can also be exchanged for banknotes, it has become troublesome now.

It seems that everyone is using paper money, and gold and silver are outdated.

Song Huizong is still very happy, today's situation will make the Song Dynasty more prosperous, he is very happy!

Song Huizong said: "I think more banknotes can be produced now, so that there will be more circulation in the market. Your banknote factory can produce banknotes every day and make banknotes without limit!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhi said with a smile: "You can't mess around with banknotes. If you print too much, it will be worthless. This is a side effect to the development of our Great Song Dynasty!"

"If Brother Zhao wants to increase currency circulation, why not let the nearby Xixia and Dali use our currency!"
