Chapter 482 Great Fortune!

In this era, silver is not only a precious metal, but also a direct currency in circulation.

This kind of metal does not even need to be minted, just scattered metal blocks can be directly used for trading, which is an absolute hard currency.

And as far as Shen Yi knows, there is a silver mine in Dongying Island, another world, which has been mined for more than 400 years, producing more than [-]% of the world's silver!

Although I don't know if this silver mine has been excavated in this era, no matter whether it is excavated or not, as long as the anti-Japanese army can land on Dongying Island, it is not difficult to get silver.

Nowadays, not only Chen State in the south, but also Qi State in the north, and more than a dozen surrounding countries, most of them use silver for transactions, and occasionally use gold for transactions. The premise of being able to digest silver in such a large market Under the circumstances, Shen Yi basically does not need to consider the inflation issue.

Besides, this issue should not have been discussed by him.

Even if the influx of a large amount of silver caused the price of silver to fall and the currency to depreciate, it would have no effect on him.

Besides, if the influx of silver in Shen Yi's hands could reach the level of inflation, then Master Shen would already be rich.

It's not just Mr. Shen who is rich, maybe the entire imperial court can be raised to become rich.

However, this kind of thing can only be a hypothesis at present. After all, the anti-Japanese army has not even launched warships, and the eradication of Japanese pirates at sea has not yet begun, let alone landing on the main island of Dongying.

On the day of landing, it is necessary to have enough force to conquer Dongying Island.

Since it is an idea, then of course this idea cannot be told to the emperor. After all, bragging can certainly make the emperor happy, but if it doesn't work, it's not just something that can be revealed casually.

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, although I have some experience in making money, I have never touched business affairs after I became a Jinshi. If Your Majesty trusts me, I can try to use the stolen goods confiscated by the Prince of Jin." Let’s go out and do some business.”

Hearing this sentence, the emperor frowned subconsciously, then shook his head slightly and said: "No, you, Shen Qi, are currently in charge of the Ministry of War on the surface, but in fact you are the person in charge of the Anti-Japanese Army, with thousands of soldiers in your hand. If a horse goes into business, then it is not a business..."

"It's bullying."

Shen Yi admitted this.

The government office is essentially a violent institution, and it is also the referee who coordinates and adjudicates the relationship between all parties, and the army is the basis for the existence of this violent institution.

If Shen Yi went into business with his troops, it wouldn't be the referee leaving the field to play football, but the goals on both sides would be his Boss Shen's goals.

Hearing this, Shen Yi also knew that he had said something wrong. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I will naturally not manage business with my own hands. Your Majesty has a Xu Fu who is cautious by nature and reliable in doing things. What I mean is to let him go south to deal with the stolen money..."

Hearing this sentence, the emperor glanced at Shen Yi, and said indifferently: "This Xu Fu is also yours, what's the difference between him going into business and you going into business?"

Master Shen shook his head with a serious expression: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Da Chen's subordinates, no matter who they are, are all His Majesty's people, and those who have no ministers..."

"Besides..."

Shen Yi sighed slightly and said: "Although this Xu Fu was brought into Jiankang by the minister, the minister has rarely seen him."

The little emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Yes, he may still belong to Eunuch Gao."

Hearing the emperor's words that were neither yin nor yang, Gao Ming, who was serving at the side, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no servant..."

"All right."

The emperor waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said flatly: "I didn't say anything wrong with you."

As he said that, the emperor looked up at Shen Yi, and said, "Shen Qing, I will carefully consider what you said. You have worked hard all the way back, and you have a son at home, so I won't keep you any longer."

The emperor waved his hand: "You go back first, don't forget to attend the grand court meeting the day after tomorrow."

Shen Yi nodded respectfully, said yes, and then slowly exited the Ganlu Hall.

After Shen Yi left the Ganlu Hall, the emperor turned his head and glanced at the eunuch Gao standing beside him, and asked, "Gao Ming, who do you think Xu Fu belongs to now?"

Eunuch Gao took a deep breath and lowered his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xu Fu is a cautious man, and he is courteous and courteous to everyone on the surface, and he looks polite to everyone. From the perspective of slaves..."

"This kind of person has the most thoughts on the contrary, it is very likely..."

"It's quite possible that he's nobody's person but his own."

Hearing this, the little emperor smiled dumbly: "From what you said, he is quite a character."

"That being the case, let him go to the south to make trouble."

As he said that, the emperor looked at Gao Ming, and said calmly: "Remember, you have to inform him about this matter yourself, and don't let Shen Yi tell him."

Gao Ming bowed his head and said: "I understand, I will go to see him later, and show mercy on behalf of Your Majesty..."

"Um…"

The little emperor rubbed his temples, and sat back on the throne: "Okay, I have nothing to do here. Recently, you should go to the Queen of Zhaoning Palace and ask her if she needs anything." , but give her whatever she wants, don't wrong her."

Gao Ming bowed his head again and said, "Your servant obeys."

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Your Majesty, if Xu Fu leaves Jiankang, then...Master Gu..."

The emperor frowned when he heard this, "Everything is business as usual."

Eunuch Gao took a deep breath and bowed his head respectfully: "I understand."

After all, the great eunuch withdrew from the Ganlu Hall respectfully. As soon as he walked out of the gate of the Ganlu Hall, his slightly bent back straightened unconsciously, and even his head was raised a lot.

Immediately, two young eunuchs surrounded him, shouting one by one.

Eunuch Gao looked at the two young eunuchs, and said calmly: "Prepare the sedan chair, our family is going out of the palace, let's go outside for a walk."

Soon, a pair of blue-colored sedan chairs set off from the gate of the imperial city. After leaving the imperial city, they headed east all the way and came to a restaurant called Zuiyuelou not long after.

Here is a property that Xu Yuanwai has just sold for a short time.

At this moment, Mr. Xu Fu, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, waited at the door of Zuiyue Tower until he saw Gao Ming's sedan chair, and then he strode up to greet Gao Ming, and stretched out his hand to help Gao Ming open the sedan chair curtain, with a humble demeanor. : "Uncle, your old man has arrived."

The uncle-nephew relationship between the two is of course fake, but after that time, whenever Xu Fu saw Gao Ming, he would always talk to him like an uncle, calling him closer than his own uncle.

He helped Eunuch Gao get out of the sedan chair, looked Xu Fu up and down, and asked, "It's so cold, why are you waiting here?"

"After receiving the news that you are leaving the palace, my nephew has been waiting here."

Xu Fu smiled and said, "The stove inside has been lit, and the food and wine are ready. You can eat right away after you go in."

Gao Ming walked in front of Xu Fu, and he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and said with emotion: "Uncle, I don't know how many sons and grandsons I have recognized in the palace, but after counting, you are the most filial son."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Xu Fu and smiled.

"It depends on your filial piety."

The great eunuch said indifferently: "I have given you a great blessing for my uncle."
