My harem can't be this messy

"Huang'er is going to take the Grand Canal and the Silk Road as the center, and the main towns along the route as nodes, and continue to promote Yinzhuang to the surrounding areas, so that common people and business travelers traveling all over the Tang Dynasty can get cash wherever they need it."

"Tang Jian will help you with this matter. The state roads are in charge of escorting the silver, and I will transfer Cheng Huailiang to you to listen."

Sitting there, Li Zhi listened to his father's words as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven.

What's more, when the father came to him, he actually annexed his own property. No, he asked him to work for the family, which seemed wrong, but Li Zhi felt that his bank seemed to be nationalized.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Li Zhi felt depressed. In the past, this Yinzhuang was his own business, and at most it was the boats and escorts of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After being made such a fuss by my father, it's all right now, and it's completely Tang's.The state roads are responsible for escorting the silver, Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is here to help, and Cheng Huailiang, the son-in-law captain, is at his disposal. Cheng Huailiang's main job, but he is one step away from being a general.

Li Zhi's property has become the state's inexplicably. Look, there is no need to give [-]% to the state treasury in the future, it will be completely handed over to the state treasury.

Li Zhi was depressed, but there was nothing he could do. His father's words had already been spoken, and the nationalization of Yinzhuang was so simply completed.

Chapter 333 Advanced Outlook of Yinzhuang

If he can't be the emperor in the future, he will lose his money. This king is bound to win the throne.In order not to lose money, Li Zhi has to fight!

Li Zhi said something in his heart, at this time he was naturally happy to accept the order, so why should he complain about failure or disobedience, uh, this Li Zhi absolutely doesn't want to, even though he is a father and son, he is also a monarch and minister.

What is popular in this era is the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, but not everyone is equal.

But after all, this is also a great benefit to Li Zhi. The emperor completely entrusted this matter to himself. If Yinzhuang is really extended to the main states and counties of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will also be Li Zhi's contribution.

Li Zhi is actually very confident about this. After all, history has proved that Yinzhuang is indeed a good development direction.And if Yinzhuang does well, after establishing a general reputation in the future, it can be used as a basis for the bills issued by its own Yinzhuang to directly make money.

It is equivalent to the earliest banknotes that appeared in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jiaozi.Paper money is king in future generations. Although gold is a hard currency, why do you ask who has nothing to do and trades with gold all day long? Isn't it heavy?Not uncomfortable?Is it easy to bring?

Banknotes are most afraid of imitation, and real gold and silver are difficult to imitate, after all, there are some simple means to identify them.For example, biting, because gold and silver are very soft, a bite will leave tooth marks.

In fact, the ancient gold and silver unearthed later are generally covered with tooth marks. This is the simplest and most practical way to identify them.

But banknotes are different. Compared with gold and silver, this thing can be completely imitated.

As for imitation, Li Zhi has enough confidence to prevent others from imitating. After all, some things, because of the different times, have enough technical content to discourage most people.

For example, in this era, movable type, overprinting, and color printing have not yet appeared. If Li Zhi combined these aspects a little bit, it would be impossible for others to imitate them.

This is technical suppression. Later, the currency issued by an island country was not afraid of counterfeiting by others, and supermarkets and stores were not even equipped with currency detectors.

Why, the cost of your counterfeiting is so high that it is slightly similar to the real one, and its cost is basically equivalent to the real coin, so who would forge it?

There, Li Zhi agreed to the matter, and the father and son talked again, and the father had something to do, so he left first.

At this time, Li Zhi's face was a little ugly, but it was mostly pretending. After all, although Yinzhuang was considered to be owned by the state, it also provided Li Zhi with a lot of materials and manpower. many.

Really relying on himself, Li Zhi doesn't know how many years it will take Yinzhuang to pay back.

Moreover, Yinzhuang belongs to Datang, and there is another huge benefit, that is, the national reputation, which is self-evident.The banknotes issued by the countries of later generations are all guaranteed by the state, which is the national reputation.

Li Zhi's complexion was a little ugly, and Empress Changsun naturally saw it, and lightly patted her beloved son on the shoulder.

"Zhi'er, this is the first time you have shared the concerns of the imperial court and done things for the country. Don't let your father, queen and queen down."

"Mother, don't worry, Zhi'er will do his best, and will never disappoint father and mother's expectations."

"Well, let's go and do it, and don't feel wronged. I feel that my Yinzhuang is not my own all of a sudden."

"Mother, the emperor doesn't think so, but the emperor's silver for opening the silver village, did the empress tell the father to repay it to the emperor, and the emperor can't afford it now."

Empress Changsun scolded Li Zhi with a smile, thinking that your face is ugly, so you are waiting here!

However, Empress Changsun knew how Li Zhi got the silver from Yinzhuang. Now that Yinzhuang was going to be taken into the hands of the state, they would naturally pay back all the debts that Zhier owed.

It's impossible to treat Zhi'er too badly, after all, this is his own son, and he can't treat Zhi'er badly if he treats anyone badly.

When Li Zhi left the Lizheng Hall, he took out a small sachet from his cuff. He promised his cousin yesterday that he would give her one today.

Li Zhi sat at the Changle Gate for a long time, until the evening sun set, until the last sunlight could no longer cast the shadow of the sycamore tree on the ground.Li Zhi saw Guide County Lord happily holding a small sachet, and the last trace of unhappiness faded from his heart.

Yesterday Cui Yan told himself that the business of the Yinzhuang gradually improved, and today the Yinzhuang no longer belongs to him alone.

Although I still take care of it myself, the nature has completely changed.

This is probably the so-called holding in later generations!Fortunately, Li Zhi is the prince. Even if Yinzhuang returns to the court, it is still a family property for Li Zhi.The so-called family is the world, the country is the family, and the family is the country.

This is even more true for the royal family. Sitting in the position of the prince, one can naturally understand it at a deeper level.

When leaving the palace, it was already completely dark outside, the wheels of the carriage were crushing the bluestone road, and Li Zhi in the carriage was leaning against the wall of the carriage, already thinking about how to operate Yinzhuang and how to prevent counterfeiting of Yinzhuang's bills .

When the carriage arrived at Prince Jin's mansion, Li Zhi already had a general idea in mind, and he just waited to see Cui Yan tomorrow.Of course, when he went to see her, Li Zhi would bring two people there, one was Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the other was Cheng Huailiang, the captain-in-law.

These are the two helpers arranged by the father for the convenience of his own affairs. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the household registration money and food in the world, and the Yinzhuang is mainly involved in money. Naturally, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is needed to help King Jin.

As for Cheng Huailiang, the captain's son-in-law is a vacant position with no specific rights. It is counted as an honorary position. Although it can be used to bluff people, it has no specific jurisdiction. For King Jin, this does not need to be considered.

But Cheng Huailiang has a real job, the left guard Zhonglang general, this is useful, this is the real job in charge of the army, in the original history, Cheng Huailiang finally became the general of Ningyuan.

But this is not what Li Zhi values ​​most, the most important thing is Cheng Huailiang's family background, he is Cheng Zhijie's son, who is Cheng Zhijie.One of the most famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty.Even his father and queen mother nicknamed him A Chou, the key is his longevity and enough prestige in the army.

During the Zhenguan period, the generals of the Tang Dynasty were like a cloud of stars, but in terms of getting close to His Majesty, Cheng Zhijie certainly did his part.He is the right-hand man of the father, the father can sit on the throne, this one has contributed the most.

Originally, in history, he was still the most famous general in the Tang Dynasty during the period of Emperor Gaozong, but by that time, Qin Qiong had died long ago, Li Jing was gone, and Hou Junji also belched early because of the palace change...

By the time of Gaozong, Cheng Zhijie's prestige in the Tang army was basically unmatched.

And Li Zhi knew that this person was loyal, and his father, queen and queen would not suspect him, so Li Zhi would not doubt him.

And through Cheng Huailiang, at least he can get closer to Cheng Zhijie.Of course, this Li Zhi only kept it in his heart and would not tell anyone.

Chapter 334

Thinking of Cheng Zhijie, Li Zhi suddenly thought of a saying in history that Cheng Yaojin's three axes are true. Cheng Yaojin's most powerful is only the first three axes.

Li Zhi thinks about it, it is basically impossible, Cheng Yaojin in the novel is actually very different from the one in history, it is not considered at all.If romance novels are really history, then basically bid farewell to the historical truth.

At this time, after entering Prince Jin's mansion, Li Zhi didn't think much about it anymore, today is still the same as before, Murong Xueying continued his great cause of vomiting, Li Zhi was very depressed to see.

Although Jin Wang was happy with some bold actions, but Li Zhi also felt really sorry for his little aunt.

For him, whoever treats him well, he thinks of ways to treat others well.

This is true of all maids, let alone my little aunt.At this time, Li Zhi's body can be so strong, it is thanks to his little aunt.

It's just that she doesn't like her, but my aunt refuses. Li Zhi really has nothing to do with the reckless arrogance of the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes.

On the second day, Li Zhi washed up early, and sent people to the Minister's Mansion and Prince Cheng's Mansion.

Generally speaking, the morning court is very early, and if there are not many things to discuss in the court, it will naturally leave the court early.

After Li Zhi finished washing and washing, the people who went to the son-in-law's mansion had already returned, as expected, the court had already left, and Cheng Huailiang was rushing over here.

Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, should be later. Li Zhi asked the mansion to arrange breakfast, and when the breakfast was used up, he would see Tang Jian.

The two of them had already obtained the will at this time, and they knew that they would assist the Ninth Prince in the affairs of the court bank in the future.

Tang Shangshu naturally transferred the money, while Cheng Huailiang arranged for the escort.

The two thought they would talk about things in Prince Jin's mansion, but just after they arrived, King Jin took them out of the mansion until they arrived at Zhuyuan. They still didn't quite understand why His Highness brought them here.

When they met Cui Yan, the little widow who was known to almost everyone in Chang'an, the two of them were even more confused.

The four of them sat together, Tang Jian and Cheng Huailiang just looked at King Jin and tried their best not to look at Cui Yan. Both of them were people of status in Chang'an City, and they had already heard that the current Ninth Prince and Zhuyuan The owner has a lot to do with it.

It was heard before, but sitting in one place at this time, naturally the rumor has been confirmed.

King Jin and Cui Yan had a very close relationship, and the two naturally didn't look at Cui Yan much.

As for the two people thinking that Cui Yan is not suitable to get close to the Ninth Prince, unless they are stupid, they would not have such an idea.

Don't even look at the widows in the harem of today's emperor. Jin Wang went to Cui Yan.

And Cui Yan, a widow, who doesn't know that she has never even met her first husband.

Li Zhi had just sat down there, and took a picture of something on the table. Cui Yan could tell at a glance that it was a receipt from his own bank, and it was the only basis for withdrawing the money.

This is the most basic rule of Yinzhuang, so Cui Yan knew it, and it was she who asked someone to make this thing from the beginning.

Li Zhi patted the receipt on the table, where Cui Yan had already picked it up, took a look, then looked at Tang Jian and Cheng Huailiang, Li Zhi brought two people here, Cui Yan's gaze was naturally asking the two of them Do you want to look over it.

Tang Jian and Cheng Huailiang just shook their heads there. They had never seen Yinzhuang bills before, and even if they took a look at it at this time, it was just a novelty.

King Jin deliberately took this thing first, obviously with his own intentions.

"Miss Cui, do you see something wrong with this bill?"

Li Zhi asked straight to the point, without twists and turns, and Cui Yan, there is no need to twist, the relationship between the two has long been unnecessary.

However, Li Zhi's address to Cui Yan is much more formal at this time, and it will not be too intimate in front of Tang Jian and Cheng Huailiang.Yan'er or Sister Cui's name.

"Your Highness, I don't see anything wrong with this bill coming from an expert."

"This is what my father asked Yan Liben to imitate, and it is already possible to confuse the real with the fake."

"Cui Yan will find someone to remake the bill."

"Let's talk about this in detail for two nights. Okay, I brought Tang Shangshu and Cheng Yuma here today to let everyone get to know each other. You two, in the future, we should talk about Yinzhuang matters in detail with Miss Cui. This king only deals with important matters. .”

If Empress Changsun was here, she would just laugh and scold her for smashing here, purely throwing away the shopkeeper.

His Majesty only gave him the burden yesterday, and Li Zhi gave the burden to Cui Yan after only one day.

This sounded good, and it was a sign of trust in Cui Yan, but it didn't sound good, just to save himself trouble.There are not many shopkeepers who can do it so simply and neatly. Li Zhi is definitely one of the weird ones.

But trust Cui Yan, this sentence is true for Li Zhi, after all, he is his own woman, if a person can't even trust the woman beside the bed, who else can he trust?Doubting one's own woman, isn't one doubting one's own kung fu?

Today I just brought Tang Jian and Cheng Huailiang to meet each other, nothing specific, just sit around for a while.Moreover, some specific matters are still undecided at this time, and there is nothing to talk about.

So the four of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and then the two of them left. People who are mixed up in the officialdom have shrewd eyes and smooth handling of things.Stay a little longer, I'm afraid it will be disgusting.

When only King Jin and Cui Yan were left, Cui Yan took the fake bill and looked at it carefully.

Since the problem is still not seen at this time, then the problem is serious.

In front of Cheng Huailiang and Tang Jian, Cui Yan only said softly that he would redo the bill, but at this time, without outsiders, Cui Yan's complexion had gradually darkened.After redoing, Cui Yan couldn't make this bill undefendable.

Li Zhi looked at her, squeezed one of her jade hands, and squeezed it lightly.

"Your Highness, this matter is very serious."

Only Li Zhi and Cui Yan spoke directly.

"You don't have to worry too much, this king has his own way to deal with it. Tomorrow, this king will let the brothers of the Yan family come to the bamboo garden and ask them to personally design the pattern of this new bill. The bill paper we will use in the future, this king will It is forbidden for the people to buy and sell, and it can only be used by officials."

"What does Your Highness plan to do?"

Li Zhi explained his thoughts to Cui Yan in detail, in fact, he borrowed money printing technology later.

Color overprinting appeared in the Song Dynasty, and watermarks were first used by Shanxi merchants. All of these can be done, as long as there are enough manpower and material resources.At this time, Li Zhi did not lack this, and with the support of his father and queen mother, Li Zhi had enough confidence to let go.

Li Zhi also planned to use some technologies used in later banknotes on bills. This is not difficult, and ciphers were later often used by underground workers as a method of transmitting information.

Chapter 335

To put it simply, it is just a piece of plain white paper, which looks like nothing, but with a little special method, something will be displayed on it.

For example, human fingerprints are not easy to distinguish, but iodine vapor can make them visible.

And passwords are also very particular. Among Shanxi merchants, there is also a special term, secret key.

After these are used, with the imitation technology of Datang at this time, it is already difficult to imitate.Of course, in the future, each bank will naturally need special debaters to distinguish bills, and it will take a little time and effort to train these people.

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Cui Yan let out a long sigh of relief. With King Jin here, she was relieved after all.

The only luck at this time is that there are only a few bills issued by Yinzhuang before, after all, the business has just started.Notify the four banks to pay attention, and nothing will happen.

It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to the bills.

This matter should be done quickly, and when it is done, all the receipts used by Yinzhuang in the future will be new ones.

Cui Yan put his heart down, and followed Li Zhi around the bamboo garden.

Today King Jin went around the garden on purpose, Cui Yan already understood King Jin's intention at this time, he wanted to move out of this garden.Maybe no brothers from the Yan family will come to the bamboo garden tomorrow.

In Luohua Pavilion, Cui Yan was standing in front of the pavilion, he didn't realize it before, but looking at it now, he felt a bit of reluctance in his heart.After all these years lived here.People have feelings, especially for Cui Yan and Zhuyuan.

"After moving into Prince Jin's Mansion, you can come back here at any time. This place is still your property."

"Well, I have sent some maids and gardeners home these few days, and kept some for the Lin family's teachers and sisters to use. I also had someone tear down the fence between the small bamboo garden and the bamboo garden, and everything has been tidied up , Your Highness, when will Yan'er go to the Jin Palace?"

"Can I live in today?"
