I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 212 Excerpt (Fifth Change)
No matter what you want to do, money is hard money.Especially what Zhao Xi is doing now, one by one, not one by one, relying on the court.

It is true that a lot of money was obtained from these ministers in the court, but as the controlling party, the East Palace also spent a lot of money.

These days, Tao Niang mentioned money and goods to him more and more.

For example, when the weather is hot, the master and servants of the Eastern Palace should also buy seasonal clothes...

The ice stored in winter is always not enough, and the children are almost getting rashes from the heat...

Zhao Xi knew that this was to say that he was short of money.

Isn't it just money?Can I still be short of money?Not to mention that he was in charge of minting coins, even if he didn't have such an errand, Zhao Xi also felt that he shouldn't worry about money, especially in the era when Guochao was loose and encouraged merchants.

Zhao Xi first made ice with saltpeter.This is simple, and the utensils are specially made.

Just put a large wooden bucket of water, put some saltpeter, put the cooked water in a copper basin, and put it on the surface of the wooden bucket.

Su Shi chattered, and finally saw the things she had heard about in her childhood.

This man is so amazing.

Zhao Xi hadn't been to the food factory for a long time, and the moment he saw Liu Yi, he was confused by this idiot with tears in his eyes.

"Liu Yi, what are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, I thought I forgot about this old slave..."

Alas, I thought that he could change places if he could do something for His Highness the Crown Prince, and it would be better to follow His Highness closely, but after so many years, he is still here.

If you want to talk about change, it means that you no longer manage the affairs of the imperial kitchen. Even some servants who make sweets have also come out of the imperial kitchen, and they are unified under the management of the food factory.

Whether such an errand is good or not, it must be good, except that Liu Yi is no different from the merchants outside now except that he does not work all the time.It is the other courtyard and concubine, he has set up everything.

The reason for this is that he worries more than misses it.

He didn't fill his own pockets, His Royal Highness gave a lot of rewards, and even the Crown Princess didn't control money.

Even so, he was also worried that the job would be replaced.He is a servant and a domestic slave. He has become an adult these years, and he is getting more and more nervous about this job.

It's been a long time since I've done these trivial things. If it wasn't for the lack of money, Zhao Xi really wouldn't do these things outside.

I found some egg yolks, icing sugar, milk, etc., which are often stocked in food factories.

Then let Liu Yi get some saltpeter for preparation.

It's getting hot, and cold drinks should be on the market. Even in Bianliang City, there are quite a few cold food vendors.

Ice cream, this should be a rare item...

"Liu Yi, make some boxes that are bigger than food boxes, and make a coat for the boxes according to the method of making sleeping bags. Use this method when selling..."

"This stuff can't be sold in different regions, so the formula can be sold, you can figure out the exact price..."

I'm too lazy to worry about it.

The intoxication of seeing my women licking ice cream one by one... Although I didn't do it properly, the taste should still be okay.After all, it is a fresh food, so it should be able to draw some money.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to get money from Tao Niang again. Besides, the gap in doing those things by myself cannot be filled by eating and drinking.

Still have to figure it out!

……

This month, the ministers and workers paid their salaries, and they actually got some new coins.

Therefore, Bianliang City began to have new coins in circulation, mostly copper coins, but also silver coins. Gold coins were rare, and occasionally one or two would be scrambled for.

Chaotang has always been a sieve. Rumors about Guochao's new coins have been circulating for a long time, and now they finally see it.

Counting the past and present, counting all dynasties, there are no coins as exquisite as those of that dynasty. The key point is that this new coin cannot be imitated at all.

Great storage value!
"Your Highness, now the new currency is exchanged for the old currency, and it is still the copper coin of Tongqi, and it is already three copper coins for two new coins."

very good!Zhang Fangping once said that if ten copper coins can be melted, one or two coppers can be collected, and if they are cast into bronze wares, they can get five times the profit.

Zhao Xi hoped that merchants would think so.Not to mention the high temperature required to melt the new coins, but to say that after melting, they will be surprised.

In the past few operations, the officials of the country should not have much spare money, but the merchants are very rich...

"Order the guard battalion to disguise themselves, disperse them in various state capitals on Gyeonggi Road, and sell new coins in small quantities and many times! Remember, once exposed, don't come back!"

This matter is a bit of a pit, it really can't be on the stage, and it can't be seen.

……

From time to time, there will always be some new coins on the market, and the moment the new coins appear, they will be bought at a high price immediately.

It was time for the salary distribution again. When dealing with the memorial, Zhao Xi finally saw someone suggesting that the salary be distributed in new currency, and even mentioned that the price could be equal to the exchange rate in the market.There is only one purpose, which is to get new coins.

In other words, the court should know about the exchange and circulation of new currency in the market today, but no one said anything.

Zhao Xi didn't know if they didn't understand, or they didn't want to ask, or they all wanted to profit from it?Or do you want to save it?
I don't understand, no matter what, anyway, this is a trick where rare things are more expensive. If you can't see through, you can only blame yourself for your incompetence, but if you let Zhao Xi pit the court, you really can't do it.

Therefore, Zhao Xi directly shelved this paper without asking what his father meant, which is equivalent to staying in China and not publishing it.

When it came time to pay the salary, it was still the same as before, and the old and new coins were mixed.

In the next few days, there were more new coins on the market, and the exchange ratio was still rising, almost approaching a one-to-two level.

Zhao Xi really wanted to throw out a lot of new coins at this time, and then the officials would exchange them at a one-to-one ratio... Presumably the faces of those merchants should be pretty.

However, in the guard camp, the efficiency of making coins is really not high.

I hope that the exchange rate will not be reduced due to the delay of time, right?
Obviously, on this point, Zhao Xi miscalculated the enthusiasm for storing coins in this era.

"Your Highness, my uncle wrote a letter, talking about the new currency. Now it is in Guangnan, and there are many rumors about the new currency."

It's only been two months, I really didn't expect it to spread so fast.

In this way, Zhao Xi can rest assured that with such a speed of publicity, the country should be able to maintain a high rate of hundreds of state capitals.

Zhao Xi underestimated the extent to which Guochao was short of money, and also underestimated the speed at which new coins spread.

In the middle of the second month, the books of officials from all over the country came: Why can those who are in the court receive new coins, but local officials still use the old coins?

Anyway, there is only one meaning, asking the court to treat everyone equally.Either make new coins as soon as possible, or distribute new coins to local officials, even if they are distributed together.

In the guard camp, the money supervisors who had just been recruited had to go to work.

Make coins in three shifts!
Then, one ten days in advance, let the water transport start to transport the new coins to the state capitals...

Now that the stage is set and the excerpts are staged, Zhao Xi has to start arranging the main show!

　Five changes in ten days is a thank you to all the book friends, but this is really tiring.

　　After saving the manuscript, then... try to make three changes.

　　Thanks again for your support, thank you.
