Chapter 529
: Intrigue
Bianjing is still in a state of peace. Chen Yuan also went to see the envoy at noon and asked him if he had plans to buy a boat from the Song Dynasty. He even promised that if the *** people were willing to buy it, they could give them a 10% discount.
But the envoy refused. He held his head wearing a high hat and said to Chen Yuan that he would definitely be able to quell the bandits in Japan. As long as the wise and powerful king of *** gave the order, as long as the world's first navy master came true, the Japanese people would immediately know that they were powerful.
Chen Yuan could only sigh at this, there was nothing to say, there was really nothing to say. The people never figured out that although they wore high hats, they wore the hats themselves.
Since they think they can, the prince consort has other things to do.
Bi Sheng has already done the matter of silver bills. Although the anti-counterfeiting is limited by technical conditions, it is impossible to make a fraud as advanced as it will in the future. When Bi Sheng brought the sample of silver bills to Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan was quite satisfied with it.
The face value of small denominations that are ready to be issued in full are divided into three types: one for the same, five for the same, and ten for the same.
There are also large denominations, but they are not called silver notes, but monetary roots. Monetary roots can be exchanged in other places, but monetary roots are not. Monetary roots can only be redeemed at the place where you deposit money, so that people can check the bottom line. They are also divided into three types of denominations, one hundred jin, five hundred jin, and one thousand jin.
The remaining larger denominations are specially issued to those merchants. Although they can be exchanged in another place, they must come by themselves to cash out.
At the same time, Chen Yuan's first batch of silver numbers were immediately established, ten semicolons were established in Yanzhou, Yanzhou, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Fuzhou, Luzhou, and Bianjing, and other areas with relatively dense trade. This is just a point of spreading. When some mechanisms are more perfect, they will be connected into lines and finally laid into surfaces.
Chen Yuan has one advantage, that is, he is not rushing and is quite steady in doing things. He will not think about opening semicolons for all counties.
Just like her relationship with Yelu Luling, Chen Yuan never thought that one conversation or a few times would make her feel relieved of her unforgettable hatred for several years.
The relationship between the two has eased a lot in the past few days and they can meet every day. At least Yelu Luling no longer looks cold and frosty in front of Chen Yuan. Sometimes she plays with Yelu Nianchen, and she will smile with relief when she is watching from the side. That smile blooms in her heart.
In the afternoon, it was Chen Yuan's regular time to accompany Yelu Luling and the others. Today he brought his children to fish.
The fish in the river was pulled up by Chen Yuan. The fish weighed two pounds, and the red tail was still swaying. The fish was struggling hard, as if trying to break free from the hook that had been embedded in its lips.
Chen Yuan shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, get the bucket!"
Yelu Nianchen ran over quickly, holding a small bucket in his hand: "Let me go here, let me go."
Chen Yuan put the fish in and said proudly: "How is it? I said I can catch it, right?"
Yelu Nianchen's eyes were completely attracted by the fish, and he said without raising his head: "Bad uncle is so amazing."
The fish swam back and forth in the bucket, as if looking for a way out. Yelu Nianchen's crisp child voice said, "Can I touch it?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Of course, it won't bite."
Yelu Nianchen carefully stretched out a finger to touch the fish. As soon as he touched the scales, the fish suddenly twisted his body, not only scared him, but also splashed the water in the bucket.
Yelu Nianchen looked very panicked, a little embarrassed, and a little cute.
Chen Yuan laughed: "Go, let your mother wipe the water from your face."
Yelu Luling came over, took out the towel from her arms, and wiped the child's face. Chen Yuan glanced at her: "Luling, can't you really give me a chance?"
Yelu Luling didn't say anything, so he found a stone and sat down by the river.
Chen Yuan patted Nian Chen's butt: "The child is still young. When he grows up, he asks who his father is. How do you answer? Also, if he wants to come to me one day, will you stop him?"
Yelu Luling used her hand to thrust her hair on her forehead, which was blown by the wind: "You don't have to worry about these."
Chen Yuan looked at Yelu Lu Ling with his eyes. Yelu Lu Ling's eyes suddenly avoided something, but soon returned to normal and looked over. Her heart was very painful now.
Meeting Chen Shimei is something that she regrets for many years. Now the two have met again. Although Yelu Luling's attitude seems to have gradually eased, she feels an unbearable torture in her heart!
A few days ago, she asked Chen Yuan to take her and Yelu Nianchen to see the weapons of the Kubu. She thought Chen Yuan would refuse, but who knew that Chen Yuan agreed to it in one go. The Kubu map Yelu Luling already has it, and now she has seen the nearby terrain with her own eyes, so there is no reason not to do it.
Liao Xingzong sent her a dozen experts from the Liao Kingdom to assist her in completing this mission.
The soldiers of the guards' guards' department also reduced a lot. Bai Yutang went to war, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he didn't do it, his relationship with Liao Xingzong might not be able to be repaired in his lifetime.
But Chen Yuan's attitude towards her in the past two days made her hesitate a little. If she could really steal it, Chen Shimei would inevitably be punished by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Yelu Luling didn't know why she was still ties with him. What should she do? What should she do?
Just when her head was confused, Yelu Nianchen suddenly asked, "Bad uncle, do you say you have a lot of horses, right?"
Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, you are still young now. When you grow up, I will give you the best horse in the world."
Yelu Nianchen tilted his neck: "You don't need to give it to me, my uncle said, when I grow up, he will let me be a general, give me a horse, and give me a knife. Whoever dares to bully my mother in the future will I hit him."
The uncle he mentioned should be Yelu Hongji. Chen Yuan's expression was a little dim and he looked at Yelu Luling: "Is anyone bullying you?"
Yelu Luling picked up her knees and buried her head in it: "No, after all, I am also a princess of the Liao Kingdom. Who dares to bully me?"
Yelu Nianchen asked again naively: "Bad uncle, what does bastard mean?"
As soon as he said this, Chen Yuan's expression suddenly became a little excited. He felt his nose sore. He hugged Yelu Nianchen and hugged him tightly in his arms. His lips kissed him hard on his little face, but he couldn't say a word.
Yelu Luling buried her entire head in her knees, and a slight thrust on her back.
After a while, Yelu Luling raised her head. Her eyes were a little red and she said softly: "It's getting late. I should take my children back to the post station. If you have anything, go and do it. The prince-consin is now a celebrity in the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to waste time on us."
Chen Yuan also stood up: "Okay, I'll take you back."
He was sent to the gate of the inn speechlessly. Chen Yuan held Yelu Nianchen and got off the carriage. Looking at the figures they were walking inside, Chen Yuan suddenly shouted: "Princess."
Yelu Luling's shoulders shook for a moment, and her body stopped, but she did not look back. Chen Yuan whispered from behind: "What's the difficulty to tell me, what's the big deal, I'll take care of it with you."
He said this very suddenly. Yelu Luling's intuition told her that Chen Yuan seemed to know something. She couldn't help but feel panic. After a while, when she wanted to turn around and say something, Chen Yuan had already gotten on the carriage.
Grand Master's Mansion.
Pang Ji sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea with his eyes closed. He held the tea bowl with one hand and twisted a string of Buddhist beads with the other hand. Looking at Pang Xi standing in front of him, Pang Ji said, "Pang Xi, how many years have you been with me?"
Pang Xi said very well: "Master, it's almost twenty years."
Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Twenty years have passed, and life is so fast. I remember when I found you in Hejian Mansion, you were still a young man and were being chased, right?"
Pang Xi lowered her head: "Yes, if the master hadn't helped save her, Pang Xi's life would have been gone long ago."
Pang Ji nodded: "I won't say anything about the past. Even if I save you, you will have paid it back in the past twenty years."
This made Pang Xi not know how to answer, and he was stunned for a moment: "Master, are you going to drive me away?"
Losing Pang Ji is really a terrible thing for Pang Xi. Although he has helped Pang Ji do a lot of things over the years, Pang Ji is able to keep him alive. He has become accustomed to living under Pang Ji's shadow, without worrying about food or drinking. He just needs to block a few stabs for him and kill a few people.
If he really leaves Pang Ji, Pang Xi suddenly finds that he is even a little nervous about how to live.
Pang Ji smiled: "There is no banquet that will last forever. If you don't know how to do it, you won't make plans. This is a normal thing. I know you have a lot of opinions about my approach recently. If that's the case, why force yourself?"
Pang Xi's Adam's apple surged for a moment and finally said, "Master, I won't leave. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I'm just, just,"
He couldn't find the right wording, and Pang Ji immediately interrupted him: "No need to say, I know your mind. Do you think Chen Shimei and I are too insulting to use this move?"
Pang Xi lowered his head and whispered: "At least, we should not cooperate with the Liao people, and we should not give General Wu Jing to them."
Pang Ji did not refute: "I know, I don't want to do this either, but I really have no other way to go. Pang Xi, do you know that Chen Shimei went to Daming Mansion some time ago?"
Of course, Pang Xi knew that he was Lao Pang's eyes, and Lao Pang's eyes were always staring at Chen Yuan. However, Pang Xi did not speak, and he didn't understand what this had to do with what Pang Ji was doing now.
Pang Ji slowly stood up: "Chen Shimei has made a move. The emperor has already intentionally asked the woman named Su to enter the palace. Once she enters the harem, the position of the imperial concubine may not be preserved. I will die. Do you understand?"
Pang Xi said: "Pang Xi doesn't understand, but she doesn't need to understand. Just tell me what to do next."
Pang Ji smiled: "Yelu Luling will take action soon. If she is caught, the people of Liao said that Chen Shimei will definitely save her. What do you think?"
Pang Xi nodded: "Yes, Chen Shimei is not a heartless person."
Pang Ji slowly moved his steps: "Chen Shimei is not a heartless person, but he will never save Yelu Luling according to the method we imagined. He is a big shot now, and many people want to help him do things. Wouldn't Wang Lun survive? He can even save Wang Lun, a rebellious rebellion, and Yelu Luling is no longer a problem. What's more, the emperor is a kind and face-to-face person. Even if he knows what Yelu Luling is going to steal, the emperor will not care about this princess of the Liao Kingdom."
Pang Xi was stunned for a moment: "Master, then are you still working with the people of Liao?"
Pang Ji smiled: "It's not cooperation, it's just me who use them. I won't give them the Martial Arts General."
When Pang Xi heard this, he felt that sinful feeling in his heart, clasped his fists and said, "Master, what should I do next?"
