For a while, Zhi Zhao was a little disturbed by Cui Wenqing, and only after half a sound did he say calmly: "Husband, if you really want to issue the kind of silver ticket you said, it must not be limited to the entire prefecture, Linzhou and other places, but must include the entire Hedong Road, and even the Central Plains. ”

Cui Wenqing admired Zhi Zhao's point-to-point, and said with a smile: "Yes, and the issuance of silver tickets must rely on the government, although our Zhenwu Army is barely counted as an official organization, but its influence in the country is insufficient." ”

Zhe Zhao pondered for a while, and said: "Otherwise, I will immediately draft a recital, and report your idea of paying this set of silver tickets to the political affairs hall for knowing, and let you make a decision, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Wenqing was frightened by Zhezhao's words when he boarded, and hurriedly whispered: "Silly girl, if the court learns that the power to print silver tickets will be collected, then we will be empty." ”

"So what do you say?" Zhezhao frowned and asked.

"Hehe," Cui Wenqing smiled, "I mean let's issue this kind of silver ticket in the entire Hedong Road first, and in the name of Zhenwujun, open a money bank for silver taels and silver ticket exchange in various parts of Hedong Road, and wait until the imperial court comes to its senses and collects the authority to make silver tickets, we have earned a lot of silver taels, and we are not afraid of losses, but after all, this matter is a little offensive to the majesty of the imperial court, I don't know if you dare to try, lady?" ”

Zhi Zhao was already poor and crazy, and after thinking about it, he smiled indifferently: "Most of the Zhenwu Army governors of the Zhe family are hereditary, and they are not afraid of losing their officials, in fact, I am more afraid that the Zhenwu Army is too poor to open the pot than losing their officials, so I think I can give it a try." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded with a smile and said: "Okay, lady, we can take two steps, first, first issue military bonds to raise enough silver, and then the second step, and then open a money bank to issue silver tickets, I don't know what the lady wants?" ”

Zhi Zhao nodded happily and said, "Okay, that's it, but we must get the support of the Hedong Road Economic Envoy." ”

"Okay, let's ask the lady to go to Tongzhou to discuss."

"No, we'll have to go together."

Seeing Cui Wenqing looking at him suspiciously, Zhi Zhao smiled and said, "If it's just me, I'm afraid that I can't say it clearly, so it's better to ask my husband to go with me." ”

"That's good, it's best for us to make money in Tongzhou, first, the reputation of the local yamen is higher, and the silver ticket can have strong stability, and second, ......" Speaking of this, Cui Wenqing smiled meaningfully, "If the court is really angry, we can also have one more person to carry the black cauldron, right." ”

Zhi Zhao suddenly smiled and said: "The husband's words are great, okay, just do it." ”

On the second day, the couple went to Hedong Road to pass through the Yamen of Liufu to discuss the loan and the issuance of silver tickets.

After listening to Cui Wenqing's words, Rao is Tongzhou was calm, and he couldn't help but beads of sweat on his forehead, and said the same words as Zhi Zhao yesterday: "If we do this, we will definitely be impeached by the imperial court!" ”

Zhe Zhao is a person who has come over, understands the scruples in Tongzhou's heart, and Zhengrong said: "The minister is the official and the shepherd, and he has been conscientious and conscientious, but to be honest, the products of Hedong Road are barren, and the land is not conducive to cultivation, even if they are all diligent in government affairs, they are unable to make ends meet every year, and they need to wait for the imperial court to allocate money to balance the income and expenditure......"

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing couldn't help but smile, Hedong Road is still barren?

You must know that the Hedong Road of Daqi is the whole territory of Shanxi and the northern part of Shaanxi in later generations, and the land here is indeed not conducive to farming, but the coal and oil buried underneath are all money! Why don't we try to mine coal and drill oil?

It's just that his mind is now all about making money, and he is about to open a central bank with the ability to make money, so he is naturally not too concerned about being a coal boss, so this idea only flickered in his heart and disappeared.

He only listened to Zhi Zhao and continued: "At present, as the main production area of money and grain in the country, the Jiangnan Ming Sect is rampant, bandits are everywhere, and this year has suffered a flood, the imperial court has already had a big headache, if the Liao State Xixia comes to attack next year, I am afraid that the imperial court will be more tight on money and grain, and if the minister reaches out to the imperial court to ask for money again, I am afraid that it will not be easy." ”

Hearing this, Tong Zhou nodded and sighed again and again, obviously feeling depressed.

It is true that money is not everything, but no money is everything, and there are too many examples of heroes who can't die for a penny.

"But if you do this, maybe the officials and the ministers will be angry?" Tong Zhou's brows have wrinkled into a pimple, and his heart is very tempting, but he is still full of scruples.

Cui Wenqing said with a chuckle: "If you want to make money but don't want to take responsibility, I'm afraid that such a good thing doesn't exist in the world, right?" As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, but where you seek wealth, there will be some uncertain risks, you are a leading general, often say that no danger does not become a soldier, then I will also say today that there is no danger and no money, and we have not violated the laws of the court, and the money earned is not to fill our own pockets, but to take from the people, use it for the people, even if the court knows, it is understandable. ”

Zhi Zhao added: "After a little justice, I feel that being an official should benefit one party, if I care too much about the gains and losses of others, how can I uphold the original intention of being a politician?" ”

Tong Zhou was shocked when he heard this, and sighed lightly: "Ah Zhao's niece's words are really deafening!" My Tongzhou is a military general, the pursuit of nature is the peace of the country, my own honor and disgrace is not enough to worry about, well, this deal, my Tongzhou is incorporated. ”

After speaking, Tong Zhou paused, and a somewhat solemn look appeared on his face: "But the court can't ignore it, and you still have to tell you." ”

Cui Wenqing didn't think about it, so he said: "Then we can first give the official family and the ministers of the government hall a preventive shot!" ”

"Vaccination?" Neither Zhi Zhao nor Tong Zhou had ever heard of this word, and they looked at each other and turned their heads at the same time and asked in unison: "What is a preventive shot?" ”

Cui Wenqing didn't pay attention just now, and he came up with modern words, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he said with a wry smile: "What about this preventive shot, it is said that it can be prevented in advance, for example, we can first write an ambiguous recital, and mention by the way that we are going to borrow money and issue silver bills, of course, we have to pass this sentence in one stroke, and if the court investigates it at that time, we can confidently swear to take out the recital and say to the officials and the ministers, 'Look, we have already told you.'" It's just that you didn't pay attention, blame me! When the time comes, guess what the expressions of the officials and ministers will be. ”

Hearing this, Zhe Zhao and Tong Zhou couldn't help but laugh, and they all laughed.
