Chapter 307 The problem lies in the consignment shop
Mr. Xu was serving as the Minister of Revenue, but according to historical records, he was upright and had no problems with his behavior.
Will he still do such unethical things?
"Uncle said that in the name of clearing the silt in the river channel, it was actually done by Shangshu Xu? "
To be honest, until now, Pei Fanxian still doesn't believe that the old man who looks respectful and loyal would do such a thing.
Pei Yan was helpless and knew that he would not believe it.
"Who else can be there besides him!"
"Do you know that the young prison in the water supervision is his nephew of Master Xu, Xu Ziqing!"
"It's really a member of the Xu family!"
"But why do they do this?"
Although Pei Fanxian has mastered a lot of historical knowledge and can give him a profound vision beyond the times, he must also abide by the basic rules when traveling through time. He cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, and can clearly grasp all details.
For example, he was not very clear about the various complicated relationships in the Tang Dynasty.
This move is really stable, accurate and ruthless.
If Pei Fanxian had not lived in the Tang Dynasty for several months, he would probably not have understood the insidiousness of this strategy.
In the eyes of Pei Fanxian, a modern time traveler, perhaps cleaning up sludge is not a big project. It takes a few excavators and it will be completed in a few days.
But you are in Datang now. There is neither Lanxiang nor excavator, and there is no place to find it. All dredging work is artificial.
Since it is all manual, the time required to complete the dredging work depends on how much earth and stone these workers can carry within a fixed time.
With the size of the Luo River Ferry, this work cannot be completed without a month or two. This time limit is very reasonable.
During this period of time, the copper material outside Luoyang City stopped there, and you could hardly find out any problem.
Because it is completely normal for someone to go to the city.
"In this way, they can do nothing and delay for two or three months!"
"It's really outrageous!"
"Good nephew, you finally understand!"
Pei Yan was heartbroken and his eyebrows were frowned.
These days, he felt so sad!
The work of controlling bad money cannot be promoted at all. The money minting courtyard has to look at the faces of these lazy people every day. When did Lao Pei suffer such a cowardly anger?
"They just delayed it. The copper material was delayed and it was not transported to Chang'an. How can our plan be implemented?"
"You saw it just now. The servants in the Money Cricket Academy were still as lazy as they did not obey my orders at all, and they were doing their best to mock them."
"But what can I do if I'm uncle?"
"As long as the copper material doesn't come for a day, I will be helpless. Fan Xian, you are smart, please think of a solution for me quickly."
He knew that this old thief Pei would never remember him for good things. As long as there was trouble, he would definitely come to him.
"Uncle, you are all in charge of this matter now. You can't even think of a solution. How can your nephew think of it?"
"Uncle is in trouble, and my nephew also heard from His Highness the Crown Prince. If you have any difficulties in the future, you will just tell me. The prince knows and blames him. Not only will the nephew suffer, but even my uncle can't bear to see his nephew be blamed!"
"Isn't this a fool to my nephew?"
Pei Fanxian was very angry about Pei Yan's dissatisfaction but proud, and unconsciously told a few big truths.
To be honest, Pei Fanxian’s words are a bit serious. After all, Pei Yan is also an elder and his current official position is even greater than himself.
Unexpectedly, Lao Pei has no taboos and doesn't care about it at all.
"Fan Xian, you're just talking about it."
"Whether you and my uncle and nephew are you, you can't say who dug a hole for whom. As far as I know, you've dug a lot for me."
"Look, have I ever complained?"
this……
Pei Fan was stunned and looked at Pei Yan with admiration.
The old traitor is indeed a strange person!
The idea is indeed not ordinary.
"What, is Uncle said wrong?" Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and hinted wildly.
Actually, since I came to the Money Cricketing Institute and really started operating this matter, Pei Yan found out that he had been fooled!
From the perspective of selfishness, he could already feel that the method was to steal Pei Fanxian, not from him.
It is particularly difficult to operate in detail.
From the perspective of official business, it is really a lot of trouble to control bad money. There are so many miscellaneous things together. Even people like Pei Yan, who are experienced in the court, cannot find a way for a while. In addition, the people in the Money Cricketing Court did not cooperate at all, which made him even more difficult.
Pei Yan was blocking his breath, not knowing how to settle the score with Pei Fan first. He actually dared to pretend to be stupid, so don’t blame him for tearing his face!
"What is my uncle saying? My nephew has always respected him. How dare I dig a hole for my uncle? Besides, my nephew doesn't have the intention at all."
Pei Fan first pointed to the sky and painted the earth, but refused to admit it. Pei Yan didn't listen to a single word, and only those who believed him would have a ghost.
"Fan Xian, Uncle has no intention of blaming you."
"Dig a hole for me, and I will dig another one for you with my backhand. It's also interesting to have a hole for you." Pei Yan tugged his cuffs and said lightly.
Pei Fanxian was shocked again: "Uncle is really not angry?"
"It's nothing. Fighting wits and courage with you is much better than letting others cheat. At least, you are my good nephew and you are reluctant to kill me!"
"I can still accumulate experience with you more often, so I won't be afraid of open and secret arrows in the court!"
"As long as uncle is open-minded, I guarantee that we can come and go often in the future." You are thick-skinned, and my face is thicker than you.
"However, when it comes to the solution, Uncle, do you know why the Xu family obstructed the governance of bad money?"
"If I guess correctly, his family must have a lot of money to make, so that's how it is."
Pei Yan yelled twice: "That's right, it's because it's profitable and has great benefits. Do you know which store is the largest delivery shop in the capital?"
"Send shop?"
"Whose nephew really didn't hear it."
The Tang Dynasty's goods store is still relatively primitive. Generally speaking, their business scope includes three parts: one is to help customers store things, the other is to pawn, and the most important one is the money shop.
Unlike the money shops that modern people think, the main business scope of Datang’s money shop is to exchange currency and store currency.
Saving money is easy for everyone to understand, and it is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.
However, exchange was a business required in the Tang Dynasty. The currency used in the Tang Dynasty was copper coins and silk, but there was also a price comparison between these two currencies.
And this price comparison still changes up and down over time.
For example, in the early days of Tianbao, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ruled, it was the most prosperous time of the Tang Dynasty. The rare treasures trafficked from all directions gathered in the east and west markets of Chang'an. A piece of high-quality silk cloth was worth about 300 copper coins.
