"So, now there is no difference between a treasure banknote and a tael of silver. Isn't it the same whether the master's salary is a banknote or a tael of silver?"
The official thought for a moment and understood. In other words, you would suffer a loss if you took treasure notes in the past, but you won’t suffer a loss if you take treasure notes now. Since you won't suffer losses, aren't treasure notes and silver the same?
When the lady saw the master's stunned expression, she guessed what he was thinking. I couldn't help but say, "But even so, there are still some differences between treasure notes and silver. As long as one tael of silver is kept, it is still one tael of silver. But a consistent treasure note was only worth nine hundred coins before, and now it has become One tael of silver. But what will happen in the future? No one can tell what will happen in the future, so it is better to spend the treasure money as soon as possible." The official's wife looked at the age of more than thirty years old, and she still had charm. when. When he said these words, his eyes were like foxes, shining with shrewd light.
"Hahaha," the official laughed suddenly and said to his wife: "This treasure note is different from the previous ones. My wife may not be willing to spend it after holding it in her hand."
After saying that, he took out the treasure note with a smile, deliberately put it in his sleeves and put it on the table in front of the lady.
As the official retracted his hand, several small but exquisite treasure notes appeared in the lady's eyes.
"Is this a treasure note?" Madam originally wondered if it was a fake, but then she thought, are there such beautifully made fakes out there? This treasure note was much smaller than the previous one, so she couldn't get used to it for a while. She picked up a treasure note in her delicate hands, rubbed it in her hand, and looked at it carefully.
After a long time, the lady raised her head and praised: "It's so beautiful. This treasure note is so beautiful. Master, you are right, I really don't want to spend it."
When the official saw his beautiful and shrewd wife, he surrendered in front of him for the first time, and it was only because of a piece of treasure money. The official felt that he had become a little tougher. Thinking of the shock he felt when he saw this treasure note for the first time in Fengtian Hall, he felt it necessary to let his wife be equally shocked. Maybe at night, there will be other benefits.
So the official, like a pug, flattered his wife and introduced the magical features of the banknotes.
The more the lady listened, the brighter her eyes became. In the end, both eyes were no longer bright, but shone with the luster of silver. The lady stood up suddenly, frightening the officials.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"What to do?" Madam said with a big smile on her face, "Of course, use this treasure money."
The lady's words made the official a little confused, and he asked in confusion: "Didn't Madam just say that this treasure banknote is so exquisite that you can't bear to use it? Why are you in a hurry to use it now?"
"What do you know?" She rolled her eyes at her husband. The lady took all the treasures in her hand and looked at them with a smile. "Things are rare and valuable. If all the treasures are spent at the same time, then of course it is not worth it." . But if a treasure banknote is spent at the value of two or three guans, do you think it’s worth it?”
Can treasure money still be spent like this?
The official said that he had read so many books, but none of them contained this method of flowering.
He asked timidly and tentatively in his heart: "But is this okay? This treasure note has the same name clearly written on it. Who would be so stupid as to spend several times more money to accept this treasure note?"
The madam was unable to explain, and she didn't want to explain, so she said: "You don't understand even after I tell you, but don't worry, sir, just take a closer look and see how my madam will use your precious notes to exchange you for several times the amount of silver tomorrow. of."
That's right, after all, hearing is false and seeing is believing. We will know later whether it will work or not? The worries in his heart were relieved, and the official suddenly felt hungry again, and quickly picked up the bowl to eat.
...
Just after the end of the dynasty, it was only two hours before it got dark. A piece of news that came from nowhere was quickly passed between the markets.
"Hey, did you know? The imperial court has issued new treasure banknotes."
"What's all the fuss about? The imperial court doesn't issue treasure money that month?"
The issue of treasure banknotes by the imperial court is nothing new. Perhaps six years ago, this topic might have attracted the curiosity of the people in the capital. In what age are we still treating the issuance of treasure banknotes as a new thing? This is a country bumpkin from there. He must not be from the capital.
The person who answered the call glanced at the mysterious person and gave a vaguely disdainful sneer.
"I also know that the imperial court issues treasure banknotes. But I heard that the treasure banknotes issued this time are different. I heard that they are only issued to officials."
"What's the difference?" someone next to him asked quickly.
Distributing it to hundreds of officials is nothing new, but this time the treasure notes are different, which piques people's curiosity.
Pretending to be mysterious, he lowered his head and spoke to a few people around him in a low voice.
The more they listened, the more dumbfounded they became, unable to believe their ears.
It is exquisite, invulnerable to water, and protected by the emperor...
This is not like talking about treasure money, but the storytellers are telling strange stories.
Everyone looked at the speaker with suspicion, as if they were saying why he wanted to lie to them. Could it be that they are easier to deceive when you see them?
Especially one of the people dressed as a wealthy businessman burst out laughing. "If there really is such a treasure, I would be willing to exchange it for two taels of silver."
The people next to him thought that the wealthy businessman was ridiculing that man, and they all started to criticize him. "That's right, if there really is such a treasure, I'm afraid I can't even buy it with two taels of silver."
The wealthy businessman was also stubborn. He laughed and said: "Two taels of silver is not enough, then five taels." After saying that, he asked the man: "Do you have such a treasure? If so, then take it out and let everyone Broaden your horizons, exchange five taels of silver for a treasure banknote, I will never hesitate."
Naturally, the person who told the news couldn't produce it. He only heard it from other people's mouths. Where could he get such a treasure? But the person who revealed the news to him was someone he trusted very much. Seeing that the news he told was ridiculed by these people, he couldn't help but said: "I don't have it, but I must have such a treasure."
"Hahaha, you should take it out if you want. Five taels of silver is always the same, but you don't even make any money?"
The surrounding laughter suddenly erupted.
Such a scene made the popular person blush, but he had no way to explain it to everyone.
At this time, a woman and a maid, Shi Shiran, walked up to the businessman and gave him a blessing.
