[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

Gu Xichao was stunned, apparently he did not expect to be recruited, and under the command of the Zhenbei Army, he would naturally be able to achieve the revenge he wanted.If many years ago he was still high-spirited and thought about becoming an official through the imperial examination, he was worried that the civil servants in the Song Dynasty were stronger than the military officials, but look at Zhuge Anren in front of him, he is an orthodox military general, but who is he lower than?As long as any profession achieves the top level, it can only be worshiped by people.

However, Gu Xichao has already agreed to Fu Zongshu, not because of Gu Xichao being pedantic or indecisive, but because of Fu Wanqing.If he worked for him under Fu Zongshu's command, their marriage might still be recognized. If he betrayed Fu Zongshu... Gu Xichao couldn't bear it, Fu Zongshu was not a good person. It was too strange to go straight from a bachelor of the Imperial Academy to Prime Minister You up.If Fu Zongshu were to fall, Fu Wanqing would also suffer.

"Thanks to General Zhuge's attention, I..."

"Hey, if you refuse, you don't need to say it. I, Zhuge An, invite people, but I only accept the answer. I will stay here for three days. If you change your mind, come to me at any time." Zhuge An people stopped Gu Xi When he wanted to say something, he laughed and said: "I heard from Gao Jixue that you drank and got drunk here, but you didn't bring enough money, and you were detained in the shop to kill fish and serve dishes."

"Let the general see a joke, it's really hard for money."

"Why don't you have no money, a man? You didn't find the right way. I was born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone. I see that Mr. Gu has his own ambitions. I want to be that breeze and send you straight to Qingyun. After Zhuge Anren finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly understand, and said with a smile: "I will give you three days as agreed, look at my mother-in-law's mouth, why are you talking about this again. Pao Da Deng is indeed It's good wine, such good wine, Mr. Gu reminds me of an old friend."

"Oh? I don't know if it's that senior." Gu Xichao asked cooperatively.

"Haha, senior, Chasing Life can be called a senior. You have a similar face to him, and you are also addicted to alcohol. You are both free and easy." Zhuge Anren laughed.

"The general must have seen that I am similar to the God of Destiny, so he allowed me to disturb."

"There is a reason for this. Your face is similar to Zhui Ming's, but your temperament is completely different. I sat on the small building and saw a scholar in Tsing Yi approaching from afar. It looks good, so I naturally want to get acquainted with him. It turns out...the appearance is the same, and he is really a good person."

Gu Xichao was silent. The conversation between him and Qi Shaoshang yesterday seemed to be the same words and sentences. Does it mean that people only like to use the same words and sentences now?

"General Zhuge praised you, you are the God of War today, you are a hero."

Zhuge'an smiled, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a few chopsticks of fish meat, which was really unique. He had no intention of drinking alcohol or eating food with high alcohol content in the morning, so he picked up a few chopsticks and then put them down. Throw it on the table.Curiously asked: "Did Mr. Gu come alone?"

"Exactly." Gu Xichao cheered up, rumors that Zhuge An's heart is as meticulous as a hair, Gu Xichao is afraid that the people waiting behind him will be exposed.

"No wonder it was detained by Gao Jixue. In the northwest, Xiaoping coins are not easy to circulate, and they are very heavy. It is even more inconvenient for you to carry so many copper coins on the road alone." Zhuge'an asked Ce Gu Xichao and said: "Copper coins are not easy to circulate. , and the value fluctuates from high to low, which is not believed by all believers. The value of silk cloth is stable, but it is not easy to carry; the value of gold and silver and other items is too high, and ordinary people may not see them throughout their lives, so they are not suitable for small circulation. What do you think the money should be used for?"

Gu Xichao once wanted to take the imperial examination to become an official, and had done in-depth research on the currency system of the Song Dynasty, but no one had ever asked about this in the imperial examination. Gu Xichao knew that this was the opportunity to show his talent and knowledge, so he organized his words in his mind, saying: "The general just said One is missing, Jiaozi."

"Are you talking about Qian Yin and salt notes? Back then, the court issued 'empty coupons'. The army's salary here was a piece of paper, and they had to raise money while fighting. The officials in Bianjing really remembered One comes out, one comes out." Zhuge Anren's father was not a general of the frontier army, and he died in battle under the relentless drag of the court officials, scaring his pregnant wife into dystocia, and the child died immediately.

"The general also said before that there are disadvantages to using anything to make money. You can solve the problems of easy to use, easy to carry, fast circulation, and moderate and stable value at the same time. Only Jiaozi can realize it."

"Oh? Then Jiaozi will have no disadvantages."

"Of course there is. To implement Jiaozi, there must be a strong bank that guarantees that Jiaozi can be exchanged for cash. Otherwise, once the credit goes bankrupt, what is the difference between these Jiaozi and waste paper. Among them, Jiaozi is also designed to make, Preservation and anti-counterfeiting, there are still people who privately mint Xiaoping coins, if we can’t crack down on private counterfeit Jiaozi, it will definitely drag down the entire Jiaozi system.” Gu Xichao sighed, “It’s easy to say, but hard to do. There is no merchant in the world who can open such a bank, even with the backing of the imperial court. People gradually don’t like to use the Xiaoping money issued by the imperial court over the years. Merchants buy and sell in bulk, and they prefer to barter. The credit of the imperial court is very high. It's almost exhausted, and the common people can't trust any private bank."

"I heard that under the command of the Zhenbei Army, in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the 'Pingan Jiaozi' is in circulation. The value is stable and there are three denominations. All trustworthy merchants love to use it. With your guarantee, Jiaozi can be exchanged for gold and silver. Items have never gone wrong, and now you are the real credit."

"The last sentence is redundant, isn't it telling me that you are flattering me?" Zhuge Anren laughed.

"A little more, if the general doesn't have a safe marriage, he will naturally only have the empty talk and assumptions in front of him. With you as a pioneer, I will have a clearer mind and know what the money looks like."

"You are very good. Among the three envoys, it is rare to see such a deep understanding of the currency system. Good! It is worthwhile for me to treat you to a drink." Zhuge'an laughed and called the guards over to tell him to take care of Gu Xichao. The drink bill was settled.

Gu Xichao is very sensitive because of his status, now he trades his talents and ideas for a meal, but he doesn't feel insulted at all, instead he feels that his talents and learning can be exchanged for money, and he has finally embarked on the road he dreamed of.currency?Gu Xichao chewed on this new word, only felt that the description was apt and appropriate, General Zhuge really lived up to his reputation.Mounted can fight, dismounted can govern, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures revived under his governance, benefiting the entire Northwest.Isn't it worth following yourself if you think of a genius and a hero in this way?It's just that he still has Wanqing...

Zhuge'an left the money for the wine, and took the guards out of the Qiting restaurant and headed for Lianyunzhai.

The sun was too high on the way, and the group rested in the grass pavilion by the side of the road. The guard couldn't help asking: "The commander-in-chief is so optimistic about that little boy."

"What a silly face, he just looks weak, I think he is good at martial arts, if he comes to our army, he can be regarded as a talent capable of both literature and martial arts. Why, you still don't like him?" Zhuge'an said with a smile.

"I'm a rough man, how can I not look down on the Jinshi master who has been admitted to Tanhua. I just feel that the characters are not compatible. Those scholars talk in a twisted way, and they are not happy at all. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief even invited him to drink."

"Commander, my subordinates also feel that this Gu Xichao is ambitious and not easy to deal with." The guards at the side also persuaded them, and Gu Xichao gave them the feeling that he was a sinister poisonous snake lurking in the grass.

"I have never kept anything from you. Gu Xichao is Fu Zongshu's son-in-law. However, after his fame was shattered, Fu Zongshu turned his back on him and Fu Wanqing followed Gu Xichao. However, this marriage was not ordered by parents or by a matchmaker. I don't recognize good and cheap marriages. Gu Xichao worked for Fu Zongshu for his wife and even for his own ambitions. Li Ling was framed, probably because of Fu Zongshu's side. Last night we listened to the piano all night outside the wine shop. Qi Shaoshang guessed It's been tricked."

"Then the commander-in-chief still wants to recruit him?" The personal guard was aggrieved and puzzled.

"What are you thinking? This commander cherishes talents. Gu Xichao is a talent, but Li Ling is not? In order to participate in the previous conspiracy, Gu Xichao had the intention of killing Qi Shaoshang and did not take action. This commander appeared and gave him a An opportunity to turn back the bitter sea. If Gu Xichao can't seize the opportunity, the one who kills this person in the future will definitely be my commander." Zhuge Anren laughed, he really appreciates Gu Xichao, but now he is surrounded by sorrows, and it is easy to go too far Going astray, but after all, it hasn't caused a big mistake, Zhuge'an people are willing to give him another choice, another way.If Gu Xichao is obsessed with obsession, what a pity. He is indeed talented and a beauty. Over the years, he has seen few beauties, and he still hasn't made friends with many talented people.Now that he has become a "villain", there is no need for whitewashing.

People like Gu Xichao, if they set foot on the road of murder, will soon become a devil. The lives of innocent people and righteous people are not stepping stones for the devil.Back then, he didn't even extend a helping hand to the famous Su Shi. Could it be that he could give up his principles just for the sake of beauty?

"The commander-in-chief can see clearly." The guards echoed one after another, they knew that Zhuge'an would not let the soldiers who had been with him for so many years feel chilled.

"Our commander-in-chief naturally has bright eyes, and Qi Shaoshang is blind." Another guard sneered, "When the commander-in-chief asked him to serve in the Zhenbei Army, he said he didn't want to be restrained. Doesn't Lianyunzhai have a village? Is it right? Marshal, why don't we wait a few days before going and make Qi Shaoshang suffer a little, and he will understand."

"Qi Shaoshangyi and Bo Yuntian have a heroic spirit, why are you being ridiculed like this? Don't worry, this time I went to Lianyunzhai, I was still recruiting him, and this time he will not be allowed to refuse. I kept it back then. Lianyunzhai, because the defense against Daliao and Xixia was too long, we were powerless. Now that the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been recovered for many years and have been governed smoothly, these villages should be incorporated and eradicated. There should be no such thing in this world. Banditry is rampant in the village, Qi Shaoshang and others are naturally chivalrous and courageous, but there are more villages that make a living by robbing merchants and people, so we can't be tolerated." If Gu Xichao is obsessed with his obsession and let these villages fall into the hands of the court moth, why don't they be incorporated into him? He can guarantee these people a stable life and a peaceful rest of their lives.
