Thank you for the reward of relatives and friends in the vest, bow and thank!

It is necessary for the ministers to fully realize that the Southeast Islands are one of the core interests of Great Qin, so that everyone will have a sense of mission and be able to work together. It is not necessary to regard the exploration of the southeastern islands as a great achievement of the emperor Qin Mu, and a move to work the people and lose money.

Any plan needs to be implemented by the minister, and if they do not cooperate, it will be difficult to carry things forward. Qin Mu could only start with a few cabinet assistants, hoping to get their support first.

But thinking is often the most difficult thing to unify.

In particular, most of the people who have been greatly influenced by Confucianism have adhered to the idea that "if people from afar are not satisfied, they will cultivate their virtues", and they have always vigorously opposed the behavior of "reckless military force" like the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

If you don't change everyone's thinking, if Qin Mu wants to use troops against the south, he will definitely end up in the name of being a reckless soldier, and he may even be constrained by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

In order to unify their thinking, we must first make them realize that the southeastern islands are where the core interests of Great Qin lie, and like every province in China, they are an indispensable part of Great Qin.

Of course, relying on Qin Mu's mouth alone, even if he said it wildly, it would be impossible to completely convince the ministers of the DPRK and China.

It would have to depend on the navy, and if the navy could be self-sufficient, and then it would be much easier to convince the ministers to do so.

At 15 o'clock ~ 17 o'clock, the time when the officials of Great Qin got off work was about 16 o'clock, and Qin Mu also left the Huagai Hall and returned to the palace.

Compared with the previous dynasties, the end of work for Great Qin officials was already very late. Like in the Song Dynasty, ministers usually leave work around 15 p.m.

In ancient times, there was no electricity, and ordinary people could not even light oil lamps, and the days were short in winter, and it would be dark at more than 17 o'clock, and the people went to sleep.

So at 15 o'clock ~ 17 o'clock. 晡能虡計 refers to dinner time. In the absence of electricity, it was impossible for Qin Mu to make a big change to the commuting time of Great Qin officials, only delayed by one hour, and postponed by one hour in the morning.

In February, the days are getting longer, and it's still early at four o'clock in the afternoon. The Great Qin Palace has only been completed for half a year, and it is brand new everywhere. The palace maids are all 13 to 16-year-old girls who have just been elected to the palace, and they are full of vitality, which makes the entire harem look vibrant.

When passing by the Purple Smoke Pavilion. There was a string of gentle laughter from the goldfish pond behind the pavilion, Qin Mu walked over to see that two palace beauties were feeding the goldfish with a few palace maids;

I don't know what to say, the two palace beauties are laughing, with moth eyebrows, clever smiles, and beautiful eyes.

Hearing footsteps, the two looked at each other. Seeing that it was the emperor coming, he hurriedly gave a salute, and the waist of the fifteenth daughter was just like the willow in the next house. The faint blue chest, embracing the snow into the peak, gives people an incomparable sense of beauty.

"Let's be flat." Qin Mu's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, which could be seen from their clothes. Both of them are beauties.

Last year, the nine beautiful and virtuous concubines selected from thousands of show girls in the palace were drafted, and it has been almost three months since Qin Mu ascended the throne. But I have never been lucky with these nine beauties, and I don't even know their names. Empress Yang Zhi asked him more than once if he was dissatisfied with the nine beauties selected.

"What's your name?"

The two of them hurriedly bowed down again, and a slightly taller beauty on the left replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine's name is Tang Yun." ”

The one on the right replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the concubine's name is Song Fang." ”

"Tang Yun Song Fang? Hahaha, that's an easy name to remember. ”

Qin Mu smiled brightly, the two of them were secretly happy in their hearts, and their cheeks were dizzy, and they became more and more moving.

However, Qin Mu just asked, and then walked back to the Qianqing Palace, the two beauties looked at his background, and couldn't help but be disappointed, they had been in the palace for several months, and it was rare to see the emperor once, but they just left, and they couldn't help but be very disappointed.

When Han Zanzhou signaled them to follow, the two beauties turned from sadness to joy, and their hearts began to jump like a deer kicking, and the feeling of suffering from gains and losses, both nervous and joyful, made the palms of the two women sweat quickly.

Qin Mu returned to the Qianqing Palace for dinner, Tang Yun and Song Fang were waiting for the soup next to him, and because he was too nervous, Tang Yun also spilled a few drops of the soup.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, Your Majesty's forgiveness," she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up." Qin Mu motioned to the palace maid in the palace, added two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Sit down and dine with me." ”

"The concubine doesn't dare."

"You want to go back to your dormitory to eat?"

Tang Yun and Song Fang glanced at each other, then lowered their heads and said silently, Qin Mu smiled: "If you don't want to go back, just sit down and eat together." ”

"Thank you."

After dinner, Qin Mu went to the hall to review the recitals, one of which was on Xu Yingjie, and the recital detailed the circulation of paper money.

Although so far, Daqin has only issued one million banknotes, and the banks are also free to exchange and allow the people to pay taxes in paper money, but the shadow of Daming treasure banknotes is too heavy, and the people still do not trust paper money, and when trading in the market, many people would rather not sell goods than receive paper money, which makes the depreciation of paper money inevitable.

Officially, it is always stipulated that banknotes are exchanged for one tael of silver, but in some places that are not covered by banks, banknotes can often only be exchanged for nine taels of silver. It is equivalent to a tenth of the depreciation.

Compared to the Daming treasure banknotes like waste paper, this is already very good.

However, Qin Mu still frowned at this, only one million yuan, and under the condition that the bank freely exchanged huàn and allowed to pay taxes with paper money, it still depreciated so much, if a large number of paper money was issued, what consequences would occur, it was really difficult to predict.

What comforted Qin Mu a little was that the checks issued by the bank had an excellent reputation, and when merchants traded bulk commodities, they often took the initiative to ask for the checks from the bank, rather than asking for cash, because the fineness of the cash silver was different, and a slight inaccuracy in judgment would lead to losses.

Cheques are similar to the silver notes issued by private banks in the past, and silver bills have always had a good reputation among the people. Thanks to this, the cheques issued by Huitong Bank, which has always been the most reputable, are also acceptable.

This solves the problem of commodity trading in a large way.

But this is far from enough, checks are only suitable for use between merchants, and the amount of daily transactions of ordinary people is not large, and it is difficult for checks to replace currency for ordinary people's daily transactions.

The two beauties added fragrance and ink on the side, the jade shadow Tingting, the fragrance was delicate, and the nervous mood had not been able to relieve much. They didn't dare to disturb the emperor's train of thought, and secretly hoped that the emperor would finish reading the recital as soon as possible.

In my heart, the tension and anticipation are indescribable.

Whether or not they can get the emperor's favor and favor determines the fate of every woman in the palace, and the two of them are undoubtedly lucky today, but before they admit Enlu, no one knows whether this luck will eventually fall on them.

Tang Yun is sixteen years old this year, and Song Fang is also fifteen years old, in this era. They will be considered "old and decrepit" in two years, and today the emperor will leave the two together, who will he choose in the end? Whether they are together or fortunate together, these are difficult to determine.

Thinking of these, the two untrained beauties are both ashamed and confused, and their moods are complicated, it can be said that they have been twisting and turning, and they are still messy.

They thought about their hearts, but Qin Mu was thinking about how to solve the currency problem, the industrial revolution needed nothing more than the accumulation of primitive capital. It also needs a relatively complete financial system to support it;

In the past, he was counting on using paper money to improve the situation of currency chaos and improve Daqin's financial system, but now it seems that paper money is too stinky by Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a small peasant. I want to dispel people's doubts about paper money in the short term. I can't think about it.

Fortunately, it was only a million times to test it at the beginning, otherwise Daqin's financial currency would probably already be in chaos.

Qin Mu thought about it and thought of the "Yuan Datou" of the later generations, there was no doubt about it. The silver dollar issued by Yuan Shikai was relatively successful and won the trust of ordinary people at that time.

It seems that we still have to use silver dollars to make an excess.

Qin Mu decided to summon Xu Yingjie again tomorrow to discuss. His mind returned to the affairs of Nanyang, to unify the minds of the ministers, it is not enough to preach, but also to let them see the heavy benefits.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, at this time Han Zanzhou hurriedly walked in and sent a rush from Zhao Han, the capital of the South China Sea Fleet, and learned that he had successfully defeated the Spaniards and captured Luzon, Qin Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Hahaha, the navy didn't disappoint me, this time it's a big gain. Old Han, bring the wine, I want to drink two glasses to celebrate. ”

"Congratulations, congratulations, slave and maid are going to fetch wine."

Seeing that Qin Mu was happy, Han Zanzhou naturally smiled, and hurriedly went to fetch the wine in person.

"Congratulations." Tang Yun and Song Fang also came up to congratulate, and the two fragrant flowers were as beautiful as delicate flowers, and their posture was so moving.

"Get up, get up." Qin Mu hugged the two beauties left and right, but when he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but kiss the two daughters on their cheeks, and said with a smile, "Today, I have added new soil to Daqin, which can be described as a great joy." I got two beauties, and I was also happy, and I was happy to come to the door, so I should drink a few cups. ”

Tang Yun and Song Fang are both untrained girls, although their hearts are full of expectations, but when they are hugged by him at first glance, their delicate bodies can't help but soften a little, and they don't know where to put their soft jade hands, and their faces are blushing.

"陛xià"

"The beauty of the country, I also wish! Hahaha"

When Han Zanzhou brought the wine, Qin Mu drank with the two beauties, and watched Tang Yun perform a dance;

Now that the total population of Daqin is only 47 million, in order to encourage the people to have more children in order to increase the population of Daqin, the imperial court can be said to have exhausted its scheming, and even issued a policy of giving birth to one more child and sharing ten acres of land.

As the Emperor of Great Qin, Qin Mu has the responsibility to play a leading role in this regard, and the royal heirs are scarce, this is indeed a big problem, tonight two charming beauties are in their arms, so let's make some contributions to increasing the population of Great Qin.

It was night, and it was recorded in the palace living note: On the twenty-second night of February in the first year of Longwu, the emperor summoned the beauties Tang and Song to serve in the Qianqing Palace.

The record is very brief, but the night cry of the spring ingale is long
