The First Thousand and Fifty-Four Chapters, You End It Yourself
Thanks to the book friends: the leader of "Fake Ball" gave a reward!
…
Mo Chou was standing not far away, and her younger brother beside her was carrying a small bag, nervously watching the crowd walking back.
"Brother, did uncle win?"
Mo Chou asked in a panic.
Brother Yao looked through the crowd for a while and said with a smile: "I won, the money is a lot, I must have won."
"Then shall we still exchange the treasure notes?"
Mo Chou's eyes flashed with hesitation, and then he was pushed back by the crowd. Fang Xing, who could be vaguely seen in front of him, slowly disappeared from sight.
There were more than a dozen people, and only a dozen people were exchanging money at the scene. Most of them looked stupid, and one of them actually only exchanged one coin, saying that he would take it home as a dowry for his granddaughter.
Zhu Zhanji turned around and went in, Ma Yiyuan and others looked at each other, feeling overwhelmed, and finally followed in after a while.
Fang Xing looked at the old woman who exchanged a penny, and reached out to ask for some money.
The servants didn't bring anything, only scattered copper coins and precious banknotes.
Wang He fumbled in his bosom for a long time, reluctantly took out a small piece of silver and said, "Uncle Xing, this is our family's pension money!"
Fang Xing took it and weighed it, about three taels, and said, "I'll pay you back four taels later!"
"That's a good relationship, but our family is snowflake silver! Don't use variegated silver..."
Wang He was muttering, Fang Xing walked up to the old woman, the tall figure covered the old woman who was almost shrinking into a ball.
The old woman raised her head, looked at Fang Xing with cloudy eyes, opened her mouth, the mouth that was missing most of her teeth turned white.
"My lord, the women have exchanged Catcher? They won't be arrested, right?"
"Won't."
The few men nearby who were still exchanging money were all looking at this side nervously. Fang Xing smiled and said: "For the people who really need this, the court supports you in exchanging it into silver, so you don't need to worry about it, let alone worry about it. As for Daming currently has no shortage of silver, and Yinshan in Yingzhou can produce several million taels of silver every year, which is enough for Daming at present."
At present, the economic trend of Daming is improving, but the scale is far from what it will be in the future, so the annual increase of several million taels of silver is enough to support and have a surplus.
"In the future, Daming will open up overseas, and by then there will be more than a few million taels. The amount of silver will make His Majesty worry about how to store it!"
Fang Xing's kind attitude made the old woman a little excited, she stood up tremblingly and said: "My lord, will I be able to eat by then?"
Fang Xing's heart felt sour, this is the people of Daming, their only requirement is to have enough food and not starve to death.
"Yes, not only to be full, but also to let everyone eat meat, so that the children can read!"
Fang Xing said softly, but his heart was not calm.
——This will be a goal worth fighting for my whole life! Even if I lie in a coffin, I will watch this goal come true!
"Old man, it just so happens that you are the last one today. His Highness Taisun said earlier that the last person to exchange money today will be rewarded."
As he said that, Fang Xing stuffed the ingot of silver into the old woman's hand, and said with a smile: "This is what His Royal Highness Taisun wanted, you must not refuse."
"That's how it was said, that's how it was said... the women don't dare, don't dare!"
Fear of imperial power for thousands of years made the old woman tremble and want to kneel down. Fang Xing supported her and said, "Your Highness is not here. There is no need to be polite to the old man. Go home quickly."
...
"Why should the exchange be terminated?"
In the front hall, Zhu Zhanji asked coldly.
Ma Yiyuan said in a nasty voice: "Your Highness, there was not much money left at that time, and I was worried that if it was terminated tomorrow, it would anger the people, and it would be out of control at that time."
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment and the greater the reaction.
"Whose handwriting? Who is playing tricks in the middle?"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned to Fei Shi and Zhou Yingtai.
Zhou Yingtai was speechless, Fei Shi said: "Your Highness, I sent all my subordinates to investigate and found that many people who exchanged money were entrusted by others.
The minister was about to set up an ambush to catch people, but the time was running out. "
Fei Shi glanced at Ma Yiyuan without leaving a trace. If he didn't stop today, he was confident that he could find out who was behind it.
"No need!"
Fang Xing walked in and said, "The scouts from Jubao Mountain Guard have infiltrated Jinling City since last night, and they are currently gathering information from all parties, and we will come to a conclusion later."
Ma Yiyuan and Zhou Yingtai's eyes shrank, and they both thought of the same question.
——Since you entered the city last night, why didn't you contact us? Otherwise, it would definitely not be the situation today!
Think about it, if you know in advance that there will be several million taels of silver coming ashore later, what are those running crowds?
Seeing their doubts and dissatisfaction, Fang Xing said indifferently: "No, how can you see the rebellion hidden in the dark!"
"Treason?"
Ma Yiyuan and Zhou Yingtai looked at each other, and then looked at Zhu Zhanji, only seeing a gloomy face.
"The Ministry of War and the Jinyiwei work hand in hand. We must keep an eye on all the nobles and merchants. Those who enter and leave must be recorded and pursued. These people are not allowed to leave Jinling City."
Zhu Zhanji got up, put his right hand on his waist, and supported the table with his left hand, his eyes turned, and his majesty was self-existing.
...
Xu Sanyuan felt that he deserved to die, so he wanted to run, and before leaving, he wanted to coax Wu Zheng together.
Wu Zheng's mood at this moment is probably the same as the ecstasy of a poor man who picked up a thousand taels of silver. He shook his head and said pitifully: "His Royal Highness has come down. This matter can no longer be resolved. I have to go back and find out who is going to exchange it at home." I will not accompany you if I have given you money.”
"Then you don't want to report the news, or I will report that you have embezzled Cheng Guogong's more than 300 acres of land."
Xu Sanyuan's eyes were cunning, Wu Zheng said hesitantly, "Of course not."
Seeing Xu Sanyuan fleeing in a hurry, Wu Zheng's eyes flashed murderous intent, and then he thought that Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing were in the city, if Xu Sanyuan died unexpectedly, they would definitely not give up.
...
Xu Sanyuan was naturally very familiar with Jinling City, and as soon as he went out, he pretended to go to a woman he raised outside.
The small yard is exquisite. After entering, there are fish ponds, pavilions, flowers and plants in the yard.
This courtyard with two entrances has quite some scenery and is expensive.
"Quick! Gather all the money and treasures, as well as your jewelry, and take them away."
The woman coquettishly wanted to make out, but was pushed away by Xu Sanyuan, and she asked in surprise, "Why?"
Xu Sanyuan didn't see the strangeness in the woman's eyes, and said impatiently while flipping through the box: "Hurry up, we'll all die if it's too late."
"What are you waiting for?"
Xu Sanyuan tossed about for a while, but didn't hear any movement behind him, so he turned around and shouted, and then...
"Hey! This is... what is this for?"
Right at the door, two men were staring at Xu Sanyuan blankly, and behind them, the woman said with disgust: "He must have offended someone, if he is allowed to run away, the Duke will be implicated as well."
In an instant, the woman's past flattery flashed through Xu Sanyuan's mind, and he roared, "Whose eyes and ears are you?"
This desperate roar made people feel moved, but the two men came in and said: "Xu Sanyuan, you have failed the Duke's respect, you should end it yourself."
