Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Han Sui could only silently sigh.    

Xiao Yun said, "You just need to take responsibility for the money. Don't think about anything else. I'm only keeping you because you're reliable. And you have to bear the price of being willful and not caring about the overall situation. You are the one who has made a mistake. Although I'm afraid I'll have to do it again in the future, there's always some restraint... If this matter was not handled properly, then... His Majesty's punishment was based on the law. This young master is famous for being an outlaw maniac, do you understand? "    

Han Sui was shocked and quickly nodded. "I understand!"    

"En, go down. Oh right, is there anyone else outside? "    

"Before we came in, we saw a carriage coming this way."    

"That should be Wu Xi. That's good too. I'm really curious about how he handled my arrangements."    

Han Sui nodded and walked out of the cell.    

Xiao Yun shouted to the shadow, "Is it Master Pei?"    

Pei Zhongren walked out awkwardly and smiled bitterly at Xiao Yun.    

Xiao Yun scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "It is late at night. Master Pei did not sleep, but came to spy on me. Why? Did you receive orders from someone else? "    

Pei Zhongren hurriedly shook his head and said awkwardly, "I'm just curious... So I came to take a look."    

"Then you have finished looking?"    

"Of course I've finished reading it..."    

Pei Zhongren moved forward and asked, "However, what exactly is the gold note that you mentioned earlier?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "What is it? It is a little complicated to explain. There is no need for you to care. You just need to know that if I were you, I would take inventory of my family property right now. Exchange all of my wealth for this gold coin. Of course. This is just a personal suggestion."    

Pei Zhongren smiled bitterly again.    

Of course, he would not follow Xiao Yun's method.    

Pei Zhongren also needed to support his family. He could not sell his family property just because of a sentence from Xiao Yun for no reason, right?    

Therefore, he did not think it was a big deal.    

The two of them chatted for a while. Pei Zhongren also wanted to ask him about his health. After all, he was already old, so it was naturally difficult for him to say anything. He said to ordinary doctors, he felt a little embarrassed, although it was suspected that he was afraid of the doctor. However, this was also human nature. In the face of Xiao Yun, he felt that he could say it out loud.    

But just as he was about to speak, a guard outside came to report that Wu Xi had come again.    

It really was Wu Xi?!    

Pei Zhongren remembered what Xiao Yun had said earlier, and his judgment had changed.    

"Then... Since Young Master Xiao has something to do, I will take my leave now."    

Xiao Yun reached out his hand to stop him and said, "Why do I keep feeling that you have something to discuss with me?"    

"Can you tell?"    

"Haha, who can't tell that you want to say something but want to say something? Why don't you wait here for a while? Wait until I tell Prime Minister Wu what to do, and then we can talk about other things? What do you think? ”    

"This..."    

Pei Zhongren did not mind waiting for a while. However, since the other party was talking late at night, he naturally had to talk about some secret matters. It did not seem appropriate for him to listen by the side.    

"It's nothing. It's just some family matters."    

"Oh..."    

Pei Zhongren still did not leave. What he wanted to ask was still something he wanted to ask.    

Wu Xi quickly walked in. When he saw that Pei Zhongren was also there, he was obviously stunned for a moment.    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "It's fine. We are all on the same side. Is that matter settled?"    

Wu Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "This... is not very good."    

"What is it?"    

"If you want to say that it's not done, you have done a lot of things. If you want to say that it's done, there are still many things that haven't been done yet."    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "You can just say it."    

"Alright. Young Master Xiao asked me to open a shop in different places. I will name it the Depository of Gold or Gold Hidden Pavilion. I also tried my best to buy shops and post notices, but... these things require money, and now I can be considered to be short of money..."    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Aren't you allowed to use the money of the Xiao family?"    

"How much money is that?"    

Wu Xi subconsciously said it, then quickly covered his mouth. He looked at Xiao Yun awkwardly and said, "There is really not much money left in the Xiao family. Most of the money spent on buying shops was from the Shangguan family. "    

" Oh?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "How can I not know how much money is left in Xiao family? Actually, asking you to do this is also to test your strength. I want to see if you can think of a way to make some money. But now it seems that... it seems to be a little difficult. After all, you used to be a big spender. And you almost never borrowed money. But then again, why would the Shangguan family pay such a sum of money? I thought you would look for the Leng family."    

Wu Xi sighed and said," Initially, I was also planning to look for the Leng family, but after asking around, I found out that the Leng family is considered poor... "    

"Sigh, how can you say that?"    

When Pei Zhongren heard this, he was a little unhappy.    

After all, that was his teacher's home. It was always uncomfortable to be called poor.    

Wu Xi turned to look at him and frowned. He said proudly, "Leng Xiaohan has been poor all his life. This is known by everyone, even if he has the status of a national pillar. He has no land and no rewards. Where did he get the money from? "    

Then he sneered, "Do you think that Leng Guozhu has some kind of money source?"    

"This... No, I don't think so."    

Pei Zhongren quickly shook his head.    

In terms of authority, he definitely couldn't compare to the previous Pavilion Elder.    

Xiao Yun waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. We're all family. What's there to argue about? Isn't the problem now just a lack of money? You still have to think of your own way. The shop must be opened. Including the Nine Paths and Twelve Prefectures, at the very least, all of the big cities must have my shop."    

"This..." Wu Xi said with a bitter face, "This is really a little difficult. Besides, even if we really open the shop, we don't have anything to sell. We only have gold to exchange for gold coins. There was not much gold in the world. It was stored at home. It's fine to wear it on your body, there's no need to exchange it for gold notes. Moreover, these gold notes were not as safe as gold. After all, it was easy to break. Gold, however, was not afraid of fire. Even if a house was burned down, the gold is still there."    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Who told you that only gold can be exchanged for gold notes? When we sell the knife, which is our main store, we need gold to exchange for it. But in other places, we can use copper coins to exchange for it! "    

"Ah? Copper coins... to exchange for gold coins?"    

"Yes, and gold coins can definitely be exchanged for gold."    

"This... Young Master Xiao, even if there is this kind of guarantee, it can let the people know that these gold coins are gold. After all, there is His Majesty's Imperial Decree inside, but is there anyone who wants to exchange for it? Even if there is only a sliver of doubt, this is also unnecessary. Besides, the copper coin is now priced at one per day... Eh?"    

Wu Xi was stunned.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said," What is it? Did you think of it?"    

"I think I thought of it..." Wu Xi swallowed his saliva and said, "If you sell gold, not many people will buy it. But if it is gold notes, things that can be exchanged for gold in the future... With the current policy of His Majesty, he will not let his family store too many copper coins. I'm afraid there will really be a lot of people who will use gold coins to avoid punishment! "    

"That's right. Since some people want to take advantage of the loophole and spend the copper coins, they can keep the money. Using money to exchange for gold coins is very suitable."    

Wu Xi nodded his head heavily, and his eyes were filled with endless hope.    

Using gold coins to exchange for copper coins? Use paper to exchange for money? Was there anything more profitable than this in the world?    

But...    

He immediately thought of another matter.    

"That's not right, Young Master Xiao. This gold coin represents gold. But gold belongs to His Majesty! You only have the right to store it, but you don't have the right to spend it! If they use gold notes to exchange for gold in the future, then... aren't we going to commit the crime of deceiving the king?"    

" They won't exchange it. "    

"How can you guarantee that? "    

Wu Xi was a little scared.    

However, his eyes revealed that he was obviously excited!    

That's right. This guy had been greedy for his whole life. After the natural disaster, he still wanted to make a fortune. His greed for money had reached a point where it couldn't be attached to him.    

So his fear was only shown.    

This was also the reason why Xiao Yun liked to use him.    

This fellow was bold, and he was extremely bold!
