"Madam, it's cold outside and it's not the right place to talk. I think we should go inside and talk slowly!"
Seeing Liu Qi's pitiful eyes, Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"I'm confused, let's go, let's talk in the house!"
Hearing what Chen Wu said, the eldest princess Liu Piao looked around. Seeing the evasive glances of the servants, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have lost her temper just now, coughed dryly, and then said.
"Tell me about you, are all the women in your harem dead? They've been jealous all day long. How come there's no one around here who knows what's cool and what's hot?"
The eldest princess was really getting angrier as she talked. It seemed that she deeply hated the women in the East Palace.
"His Royal Highness, Madam, is here late at night. There should be something important. Stop talking about these commonplace things here!"
Seeing Liu Qi becoming more and more embarrassed, Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, hurriedly interrupted.
"My sister's lesson is to clean up the harem after I go back. But I do have something else to do today, and I want to ask my sister!"
After Liu Qi was embarrassed for a while, he quickly took over what Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, said.
"Your Highness, please speak directly if you have anything to say. We are not outsiders, so there is no need for these meanderings!"
Although Marquis Tangyi has no great ambitions, he is very happy in his way of life, and Liu Qi appreciates this very much.
"In that case, let me tell you straight. I want to ask my sister, has Liu Deng sent you a letter recently?"
Hearing what Liu Qi said, Tang Yihou and the eldest princess Liu Piao were stunned. They didn't know what Liu Qi meant. They came to ask this news in the middle of the night. Did Liu Deng commit something? Something?
"But did this kid commit something? If he committed something, you, the uncle, can't just sit idly by and ignore it. Since the third child is gone, we can't leave this kid without help!"
The eldest princess's face suddenly became serious, and she seemed to be pointing out something when she spoke.
The eldest princess knew in her heart that both her father and her grandmother took women's interference in political affairs very seriously.
So she was very smart and didn't mention government affairs but only family matters.
But her words made Liu Qi dumbfounded.
"Sister, don't worry. My father has already said that this boy is my strong man's Qilin'er. Who else in the world dares to embarrass him? I just want to ask my sister, has this boy received any letters recently?"
Liu Qi said with a wry smile.
"This boy did receive a letter today. He didn't say much in the letter. He just said that there was a big deal and then asked me to exchange all the copper coins in my hand for gold and silver. I really don't know what this boy was thinking. , among the wealthy families in Chang'an City now, who doesn't have a whole cellar full of copper coins, who has ever heard of someone hiding gold and silver?"
What the princess said is actually reasonable, because in these days, the court's rate of minting copper coins is far from keeping up with the country's needs.
Therefore, this directly led to the increase in the value of copper coins. Not to mention distant things, in the few years since Liu Heng became emperor, in the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, one tael of gold could be exchanged for twenty copper coins.
And now?
If you want to exchange the five baht coins of the imperial court, at most you can exchange one tael of gold for ten coins, and this is the official ratio. It is almost impossible to exchange it for copper coins in the market at this ratio.
In just a few decades, gold has lost almost half of its value.
Of course, the eldest princess had a lot of copper coins in her hands. The gold his majesty rewarded her every year was converted into copper coins by her, and was finally stored in the eldest princess's farm.
Until now, she couldn't even count how many copper coins she had in her hand. Anyway, she had already dug forty or fifty cellars just to hide the money...
"Sister, you mean that Liu Deng's boy sent you a letter asking you to exchange all the copper coins into gold?"
Hearing what the eldest princess said, Liu Qi's heart suddenly moved. This guy seemed to have something on his mind.
"Why are you asking this? Why do you want to come with him to persuade me?"
The eldest princess suddenly became curious. In the market, there are many people who exchange gold for copper coins, but there are very few people who exchange copper coins for gold.
"Sister, I wonder if sister is interested in visiting Dai Country recently?"
Liu Qi did not answer his question. After thinking about it for a while, he spoke instead.
"Going to Dai Kingdom? Do you mean to let me go with my father?"
The eldest princess was a little confused as to what Liu Qi meant...
"I always feel that this guy is playing a big game. If sister really wants to make money, I think it's better to just listen to him..."
Thinking about the price of nearly ten million yuan, if this news spreads, the value of copper coins may really plummet.
At that time, everyone will panic, and the price of gold will definitely rise sharply. In the meantime, you can indeed make a lot of money.
But now the court is not ready to go to war with King Wu, so he can only watch all this happen.
Since everything is unstoppable, it would be better to take advantage of Prince Wu and his son than to take advantage of his own sister!
"You even say that? Didn't you uncle and nephew come together to trick me on purpose? How much money can I give you for this?"
The eldest princess blinked, wondering what the hell the two of them were doing.
"Sister, just don't worry, that guy is rich now. If you lose the money you gave me, just go to him to settle the score!"
Now that this boy has communicated with the eldest princess, it seems that Chao Cuo's guess is indeed correct. This boy should have other plans. Thinking of this, Liu Qi's heart suddenly became much brighter and he also started to joke. thoughts.
"Hey, I'm talking about you!"
The eldest princess immediately stood up in anger and was about to grab Liu Qi's ears. Liu Qi quickly stood up and cupped his hands towards Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu, then turned around and ran away without looking back.
This appearance of running away made Tangyi Marquis Chen Wu smile.
Among the dignitaries of the Han Dynasty, the one who should not be provoked the most is of course Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Even Liu Qi, the current prince, could only run away when he met his biological sister.
"This bastard, hurry up and catch up with him, put this coat on him, and you're still laughing!"
The eldest princess was itching her teeth with hatred when she suddenly realized that Liu Qi had not brought the leather jacket she had just prepared for him. She immediately ordered her servants to chase after her. When she turned her head, she suddenly discovered that Chen Wu was laughing, and her teeth were filled with hatred. My son is itching...
