After listening to Huaiqing's analysis, Li Changkong couldn't help but admired: "The princess is really smart and unparalleled. Changkong admires her."
Hearing this, Huaiqing's eyelashes trembled imperceptibly and said, "It's just some speculation. Without evidence, it can't be true."
"evidence……"
"This batch of counterfeit banknotes are made so realistically that it is difficult for ordinary people to tell the authenticity from the fake ones. Even Zhong Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, only knows that they are fake but does not know where they are fake."
"But I have promised to help with the research. Once I find an obvious loophole, I will inform you."
"Zhong Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? When did he become one of ours?" Only then did Prince Liu Yu intervene.
"Just today, when Chen Qianyuan went to Tianyi Sect to confiscate his property, he showed his surrender to me, and I promised to introduce him to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's great! Although the Ministry of Punishment only has the power of Xing Yu, and is inferior to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, it is one of the six ministries after all. Zhong Yu is even more respected as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
"With the help of this person, the power of the court will be six points, and you have won one of them!" Princess Huaiqing looked at Liu Yudao.
"It's just that he can withhold hundreds of thousands taels of silver just as he says? If someone finds out, I'm afraid he will be accused of abusing his power and lining his own pockets!" Huaiqing frowned and continued: "This person has just surrendered. , without getting the slightest benefit, I am afraid that he is not willing to take such a big risk."
"What the princess said is true, so we have to pay for the money!"
"Use real banknotes instead of fake ones!" Li Changkong said.
"That makes sense." Huaiqing nodded without any objection.
Then, the two of them looked at Liu Yu together and said in unison: "Give me money!"
Liu Yu: "???"
No, God has mercy!
Ever since these two people met, they never stopped talking, and he kept saying the same thing from beginning to end.
Now that the conversation is over, just give me money? One mouth or a huge sum of hundreds of thousands taels?
"Have I offended you two?" Liu Yu's eyes were filled with resentment for a moment.
"Don't make excuses, this is a major matter related to people's livelihood!" Huaiqing's eyes were sharp and his tone was serious.
Although she had never seen more than a hundred thousand taels, she knew from Li Changkong's description that it was a considerable sum of money.
But in the face of national events, not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels, you can get it!
Otherwise, if the counterfeit currency issue is not resolved, I am afraid that many people will be displaced because of this.
Daqian's currency system will also completely collapse.
The end result is that all the banknotes will be completely useless!
The people will only recognize gold and silver!
I'm afraid no one wants to see this scene.
"Sister Huang, it's not that I don't have the money, but even if I want to, I won't be able to get it out for a while!"
Liu Yu was about to cry without tears. Then he turned his head to Li Changkong and said eagerly: "Old Li~"
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll pay half of it for Your Highness, but Your Highness will have to pay it back to me in the future."
"Why do you still have to pay it back? Can I grant you an official title in the future?"
"No, absolutely not! Your Highness, all your food and clothing expenses are money from the treasury."
"I have to earn it myself, otherwise not all the people in Wulinghou Mansion will have to drink the northwest wind."
"I am an old man and a young man. How can you, Your Highness, bear to spend my hard-earned money?"
When Liu Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Good guy, if I hadn't known that you get the most dividends from Zhenguo Fast Food, I would have almost believed you.
"Have given me half, then... I have to call Lao Zhang and Lao Zhu to discuss it tomorrow."
"Emmmm, Lao Jia has to come too. It's best to bring some of his father's calligraphy and paintings."
"I, this person, love calligraphy and painting the most on weekdays. Jia Shoufu's calligraphy and painting are also outstanding. I have admired him for a long time!"
Hearing this, Li Changkong and Princess Huaiqing looked at each other, then looked at Liu Yu, and said in unison: "Bah! That's despicable!"
…
Li Xin came from a poor family, but through his own efforts, Han Chuang studied hard for decades and finally became a Jinshi in high school.
Although he is incomparable to the proud men like He Taibai and Zhang Han, he has been in the officialdom for many years and is now at least a seventh-rank Shi Yushi.
He also bought a house on the outskirts of Qiandu City and married a wife.
Although the house did not pay the full amount, it also borrowed a lot of money from the bank, which needs to be repaid regularly every month.
But life today is not easy.
He was very satisfied, but for some reason, the prices in Qiandu City had become ridiculously expensive in the past few months, causing his salary to be somewhat insufficient and very stretched.
Qiandu City is the capital city of Daqian, and naturally it is also the most prosperous place in Daqian. It is understandable that prices are higher and have risen a little.
But... this year's increase is really outrageous. The price of food and meat is almost double what it was before!
This is really...somewhat appalling.
But he wasn't too worried. The imperial court adjusted the salaries of officials every year according to prices. Could he, a dignified seventh-grade imperial censor, still starve to death?
What's more, today is the day when the salary is paid!
The mood is naturally very good!
The road to Hubu was not short, but with this good mood, Li Xin walked particularly happily.
Not long after, we arrived at our destination.
Today, Zhang Ying, a member of the Ministry of household affairs, is on duty at the Ministry of household affairs. He is receiving the officials who come to receive their salaries with a dark face at the moment.
Li Xin was a little confused after seeing it.
The distribution of salary is a major matter in the court. In the past, officials on duty were not proud of it, but at least greeted it with a smile. Why did they have a dark face?
Is it possible to achieve success without fear of offending others?
There are many officials like him who come to receive their salaries.
What's even more strange is that after these officials entered, they all looked happy like him, but when they came out, they had a stern face. What's more, their beards and hair were spread out, apparently because they had a heated argument with others.
Seeing this scene, Li Xin frowned slightly and walked in.
"Zheng Qipin, Li Xin, the censor of the Ministry of Personnel."
Hearing this, Zhang Ying still had a dark face, but her hands were never idle. After checking, she quickly counted out a wad of banknotes and handed them to Li Xin.
When Li Xin saw this, he couldn't help but frown more tightly and said, "Is it still a banknote this month? Can it be exchanged for food?"
Zhang Ying's dark face turned even darker when she heard this, and she said impatiently: "It's been like this for the past few months. Don't ask any more questions. Just take it and leave."
After hearing this, Li Xin stopped talking and began to count the banknotes.
After counting, his expression suddenly changed and he said angrily: "Why is it still thirty taels?"
"It's thirty taels every month, what do you think? Can I still make some money for you for free?" Zhang Ying was also angry. Everyone came to ask, and they all scolded him. If you come to this job today, you are really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
"In the past, the salary of a seventh-grade official was indeed thirty taels, but in the past few months, the price of food and meat in Qiandu City has doubled!"
"If my salary is still thirty taels, how can I survive if you ask me to wait?"
"What's more, no one outside recognizes banknotes now. A thirty-tael banknote can only be exchanged for fifteen-tael silver ingots."
"After all, I can only buy food equivalent to seven and a half taels of silver in the past. You have to starve me to death!"
Li Xin was completely angry. The good mood when he came was gone. He slapped the document and shouted angrily!
