The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 168
The style of salt rolls is beyond Chu Qiankang's common sense.In the past, the imperial court issued salt quotations, which were all written on white paper and stamped with the big seals of the Ministry of Households and the Imperial City Department. Every year, people secretly copied them, bought salt from the salt field and sold it, and the salt field collected money. The authenticity of Shiobiki is rarely established.

A large part of Chu Qiankang's income comes from selling salt.

Looking at the salt roll in his hand, Chu Qiankang wished he could burn it all up, as this kind of thing could not be imitated at all.

I don't know how many people's financial resources have been cut off by these exquisite pieces of paper.

Chu Qiankang did not show any signs of expression, and praised: "You put your heart into it." He put a new label on Shangguan Qing in his heart, this is a talented and dangerous woman, maybe she shouldn't be treated as a woman.

"Because of the emperor's favor, I dare not be careless." Shangguan Qing continued to introduce: "Your Highness, you can take a closer look. In addition to ensuring that it is exquisite, we have printed numbers on each salt roll, and each number is different. Same."

Chu Qiankang picked up the ten-stone salt rolls and checked them. Sure enough, there were grass code numbers printed on them, and each one was different.If you look carefully, there is a picture of a coiled dragon on the salt roll, the name of the Great Chu Kingdom, the year of printing, the craftsman and the governor, etc., which make it clear at a glance.

Chu Qiankang asked tentatively: "It's just a salt roll. Is it necessary to print it so beautifully?"

"It is necessary." Shangguan Qing replied affirmatively, and then briefly explained Qian Yuanlun.

"I did this to protect the credit of the country. People cannot stand without trust, and the country is the same. The more beautiful the salt rolls are printed, the more people can see our attitude."

Chu Qiankang was looking at the pieces of paper in the iron box, and he didn't dare to underestimate these things anymore. According to Shangguan Qing's operation, salt rolls can become the main currency in circulation just like gold, silver and copper coins.

"Currency!" Chu Qiankang repeated the strange name. Although it was unfamiliar, he understood the meaning.

While talking, Liu Liuniang, Nian Ci and Ban Xiang came in, each carrying a plate, and sent them to Chu Qiankang together.

Shangguan Qing said: "This is the deed of the loan. Your Highness has a look. If there is no problem, the two of us will sign and draw a deposit, each keep one copy, and send the other to the Imperial City Department for archiving. Your Highness can take away the 200 million yuan now." Stone salt rolls, when the contract between His Highness and the coal yard is completed, I can lend His Highness another 800 million stone salt rolls."

According to the price of two silver per rock salt, 200 million rock salt rolls are worth [-] gold.

Chu Qiankang picked up the deed and read it carefully. There was nothing wrong with it, but he always felt awkward. The premise above made him very powerless.

If Chu Qiankang couldn't get the equity in the coal yard, he wouldn't be able to get this business, and he still had to pay back the salt rolls he took away now.For his prince's face, he only got [-] gold, although it was twice as much as the rules stipulated, but it was far from the expectation, which still made him very disappointed.Because of Shangguan Qing's appearance, he would never lend him more money for nothing, so he had to accept it.

The two signed the contract, each put away one copy, and handed the third to Liu Liuniang to send to the palace.

Shangguan Qing ordered someone to bring wine and drank a glass of wine with Chu Qiankang to celebrate.

After drinking, Shangguanqing asked Chu Qiankang if he wanted to make the coal yard bigger, or simply to enjoy the profits.

Chu Qiankang asked in puzzlement: "Is there a difference?" As a prince, how could he go about doing business in person, of course he was sitting on the bonus.

Shangguanqing talked to Chu Qiankang about the differences between business operators and shareholders.

Chu Qiankang was not interested, so Shangguan Qing didn't continue talking. The two chatted for a while before Chu Qiankang left with a salt roll worth 200 million shi.

When the people walked away, Zhuqing said anxiously: "Girl, you have to give half of the salt rolls to His Highness Fourth. When we buy goods in the future, what will we use to pay for them? The remaining ones are not enough, and there is not enough cash in the warehouse." what."

"If you don't have enough, print more. The template is in my hands, and there will still be a shortage of these colorful pieces of paper. Besides, what he wants to do may not be successful."

Shangguan Qing patted Zhu Qing's shoulder and walked lightly.

Zhu Qing was stunned for a while before trying to understand what Shangguan Qing meant, and suddenly felt that this was deceiving people, using a bunch of pieces of paper to deceive people.

In the small hall of the east gate in the imperial city.

Chu Huaitian looked at the contract in his hand and asked Liu Liuniang to explain the process carefully.

After listening, Chu Huaitian muttered: "Old Si is usually very shrewd, why was he fooled by Shangguan Qing, and brought a box of paper back, he can really go to the seaside to sell salt."

Unable to understand, Chu Huaitian put down his work and went back to the palace, summoned a permanent presence who brought him into the palace shortly after, it was Ximei who was rescued by Shangguan Qing when she was shot through the chest by an arrow.

At the beginning, Chu Huaitian wanted to find someone to take care of the internal treasury, any girl who had studied with Shangguan Qing was fine, so he chose Ximei who survived the catastrophe.

The pink scars on Ximei's body gave him a new feeling. Every time he gently touched those wounds, Ximei would tremble uncontrollably. It was the memory of death from the depths of his soul.

Every time, Chu Huaitian couldn't stop.

Seeing a beautiful figure painting outside Nuan Pavilion from afar, Chu Huaitian stopped to watch. The woman was painting very seriously. The difference was that her slender fingertips could be seen sticking to a charcoal strip of her paintbrush. on black.

"Sketch? Shangguan Qing really teaches everything." Chu Huaitian sighed sincerely.

Chu Huaitian did not go over immediately, but asked the servant to inform her to give Ximei time to prepare.

When Ximei went back to clean her hands and change her clothes, Chu Huaitian came to her painting, and saw a corner of a garden with detailed and precise drawings. The picture composed of black lines had a special sense of beauty. Different, the painting style is refreshing.

"Your Majesty." Ximei came back after tidying up, and knelt down respectfully to pay her respects.

Others said that she was a lucky girl who was survived after being pierced by an arrow in her chest, and now she was favored by the emperor and carried into the palace.As long as she is pregnant with a dragon seed, she can walk lightly. With Chu Huaitian's physical ability, she has no pressure to conceive.

Chu Huaitian asked: "Did you learn the painting technique from Shangguan Qing?"

"I learned it from a girl." Ximei never forgot her old master, and always called Shangguan Qing a girl.

"Have you heard of Qianyuan theory?"

"I heard from the girl."

"She really can talk about everything." Chu Huaitian beckoned Ximei to get up, and led her into the Nuan Pavilion. After she was seated, Ximei took the initiative to go to the back and massage Chu Huaitian's head with a very soothing technique.

Chu Huaitian briefly explained the matter of the fourth prince's loan from Luantaisi, and asked Ximei's opinion.

Ximei tried her best to recall what Shangguan Qing had said and taught, and after thinking up the vocabulary, she said: "Your Majesty, Qian Yuanzhong said that money is credit, and the girl once said that money can be divided into physical currency, standard currency and credit currency. The salt roll should be It is a standard currency, although it is just a piece of paper, it can be exchanged for standard goods at any time, and credit can be guaranteed.”
