Li Qi introduced some of the characteristics of the currency surface one by one, but these can all be seen with the eyes, and then heard him say: "Now through this glass, you may not be able to see the characteristics of the money paper.

In fact, the paper used for this bill is a kind of leather paper, which is more durable than ordinary paper. It is difficult to tear and wash off, and it cannot be altered with ink.<><>Novel

Because the writings you see are all printed with a steel seal, and the ink has penetrated into the leather paper. This is also for everyone's convenience, and it is difficult to steal. The real money note is four inches long and three inches wide.

Two inches and two, with a thickness of about two millimeters. As for the face value, the minimum denomination is ten guan, the maximum is 100 guan, and there are three denominations of thirty guan, fifty guan, and eighty guan."

Having said that, Fan Shaobai and others know that this is just the beginning. When the money tickets are issued for the second time, that will be the highlight. Money tickets with smaller denominations will definitely be issued, otherwise the meaning of joint issuance will be lost, because

It’s hard to get ten guan for a meal, unless you want to eat the Buddha Jumps over the Wall or Wuxiang made by Master Li, which is about the same. Of course, if you don’t have Xiang, you may not be able to satisfy even the money ticket, and you must exchange the ticket specially.

Okay, after all, that dish is so terrifying that eating it once in your lifetime is enough.

Li Qi continued: "This time, 500,000 guan of money notes and 6 million guan of currency will be issued, which is equivalent to a total of 6.5 million guan of currency issued." There is more money and less money notes. Is that because money notes or currency notes are issued?

Li Qi did not dare to invest too much as there was a risk of issuance, but the currency was urgently needed by the market, and six million coins was just a cushion.

The applause started again.

Anyway, as long as you can send out the currency, don't delay it any further.

Li Qi continued: "This is the end of the issue of currency issuance. Today, Chou Shi San Mo Fei Qian Bureau will issue a brand new currency to the outside world. If you want to get this new currency as soon as possible, you have to hurry up and get the new currency at home.

Exchange the iron money and tin money."

At this point, he suddenly moved his hand towards the two glass frames and said: "Everyone here today cannot do without some leisure activities. The two currency styles you see now only exist in six sets in the world today."

, in addition to this set, there is one set in the palace hall, one set in the Commerce Bureau, one set in the Third Department, one set in the Feiqian Bureau, and one set in the Agriculture Bureau.

Although there are still some differences between this money ticket and the real money ticket. After all, we can't make such a large steel stamp just for the style of these money tickets, but they are 99% similar, which is very rare, so the court

We have decided to auction this set of samples. The starting price for each sample is one hundred guan. The highest bidder will get it, and the money will be used to build the college. Okay, I will hand it over to the Commerce Bureau now. I'll excuse you for now."

In fact, he came here today not mainly to issue currency. If he was just to issue currency, wouldn't it be enough to put up a notice saying how much currency was issued. Introducing the new currency, that's it. It's such a big deal.

If you just say these few words about formation, it would be really grandstanding.

He came mainly to explain the purpose of this currency issuance, because the currency issued this time was not only huge, but also included money bills. In addition, it was also accompanied by many monetary policies. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Kai ordered him to go forward.

He came to host this press conference because he knows it best. If it were anyone else, he might not be able to answer some of the questions.

Such a large copper coin and such a large banknote have never been seen before. Moreover, this is the first currency issued by Zhao Kai since he came to the throne. It is of great commemorative value. The businessmen below are starting to get ready!

"Husband, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as Li Qi came down from the stage, Bai Qiannuo hurriedly went up and handed him a cup of tea.

Li Qi took the tea cup, took a big sip, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke. It's much harder to sell stinky tofu on the street with shouts. I'll leave it to you. I'll go to the back first."

Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "Go quickly."

Li Qi drank all the tea in the cup in one breath, and then left quickly. He was just a guest. Although he had already taken the spotlight, it would be better to leave the more practical matters to the Commerce Bureau to avoid those businessmen.

The next time he went directly to the Privy Council to discuss business, that would be very bad, because Li Qi rarely went to the Privy Council.

"Li Qi, Li Qi, wait for me."

After Li Qi came out of the square, he went straight to a small attic on the left. However, when he came to the attic, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and saw Cai Jing panting with the support of Cai Yong.

I am so angry that I want to come here.

Damn it, you old guy is about to be buried, why are you still here to get into trouble? Li Qi frowned for a moment, then walked over and asked with a smile: "Grand Master, why are you here? Why are you here?"

I thought you would be very interested in those two currency styles."

Cai Jing gasped slightly and said: "The Taiwei has already said that he will buy it as a birthday gift for me this year."

Brother Qiu is Brother Qiu. He is so quick to take action. It seems that he has to go to the xiayanei. Li Qi said sarcastically: "If the captain does this, then I have to save money now."

Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "Don't pretend to be poor here, I don't know how much money you have."

Li Qi said depressedly: "Grand Master, how could you do this? You even know my family background clearly, and I don't even have any money. What fun can I have as a human being?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now. I have something to ask you." Cai Jing shook his head, very distressed.

Li Qi said with a hint of guilt: "Wha---what's the matter?"

When Cai Jing heard his tone, he immediately said: "You must know why I came here. Just now you deliberately ignored him. It's really disgusting."

However, this is Li Qi's usual behavior. Cai Jing has no time to argue with him now. Instead, he said: "Fifteen million yuan in three years, no matter how good your reasons are, this is unreasonable."

, it is simply impossible. If you are just trying to make up for the vacancy in the market, then in three years, the currency shortage will be even worse. There is only so much copper. How can your issuance method be sustainable? Where will you find it in three years?

Copper comes."

Li Qi listened silently.

Cai Jing added: "Li Qi, you know much better about currency than I do. I can see it, how can you not see it? You must have another purpose."

Li Qi still said nothing.

After seeing this, Cai Jing could only continue: "You can't make such a big mistake unless you have found a way to solve the currency crisis. Li Qi, you know, I turned my hair gray because of this currency, but

I was helpless, and in the end I couldn't even clean up the mess. Yes, I have done a lot of wrong things in my life. But this currency is the biggest failure in my life, and it was a complete failure. This has become my

I have a heart problem, if you know how to solve it, can you tell me, otherwise I will not rest in peace until my death."

After speaking, there was a hint of pleading in his voice.

Li Qi also couldn't bear it in his heart and sighed: "Grand Master, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that the emperor has issued a hush-hush order. Only a few people know about it. Even Qin Shaozai doesn't know about it at the moment."

Cai Jing nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand that it is indeed difficult for you. But don't worry, I will be buried soon. Will you still fight for the money? The money is already enough. My great-grandson's great-grandson can't use it all. I can

I swear to God that I will never reveal even a single word. If I violate this oath, I wish God would strike with thunder."

Li Qi said depressedly: "Grand Master, there is something that cannot be said between us, but this is not because I don't want to say it, but because of the Emperor. You know the Emperor's temper."

Cai Jingke was also very shrewd and filtered the emperor directly. Without talking about these things, he said to himself: "Just treat it like me begging you. You don't know that I didn't sleep well for more than a year because of this currency, but why?"

I can't think of a way to solve it and fundamentally resolve this currency crisis."

Just when Li Qi was in a dilemma, a servant suddenly came over, bowed respectfully, and said: "Privy Envoy, Grand Master, your Majesty has invited you."

Li Qi hurriedly said: "Master, if you beg me, you might as well beg the emperor."

Asking the Emperor? If the Emperor is here, then you don't have to say it, but ---. Cai Jing sighed, his whole person seemed listless. He knew how the emperor could tell him now, but the emperor asked him, so he had to go even if he didn't.

ah.

The two came to the second floor of the attic and saw Zhao Kai sitting inside. The two stepped forward and bowed.

"No gifts, no gifts."

Zhao Kai stretched out his hand and said: "Master, please sit down." Then he said to Li Qi: "You can sit down too."

After the two sat down, Zhao Kai turned to Cai Jing and said: "Grand Master, I just saw it in front of the window. I also know what you want to ask, but I also ask for your forgiveness. Now is not the time. Three years later,

You will understand naturally, so don't force Li Qi, I won't let him tell anyone."

Cai Jing sighed bitterly in his heart and murmured: "Then I hope I can live for another three years."

These words tell the story of all the vicissitudes of life.

Zhao Kai and Li Qi both had a hint of emotion on their faces, but neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, Cai Jing opened his eyes suddenly and said: "I remember it, I remember it, it's silver, and the way to solve it is silver."

Zhao Kai and Li Qi both looked shocked.

Looking at the faces of the two of them, Cai Jing knew that he had guessed correctly, and said hehe: "Li Qi, do you still remember that when I was still the prime minister, I asked you whether gold and silver could be used to make up for the currency.

At that time, you said that this is indeed a solution, but our country has very few gold and silver reserves, and currency is a great weapon for our country. Once gold and silver are used, it will be equivalent to handing over this great weapon to others.

So you said you have to wait until there are enough gold and silver reserves before making plans. Now the imperial court opens the door to trade on the day of currency issuance, and also opens a flying money bureau at the border to specifically exchange currency. This will definitely intensify the outflow of currency. You

The reason why you are confident is because you have already planned to use silver as currency. I wonder if I am wrong."

Zhao Kai turned his head and looked at Li Qi expressionlessly.

Look at what I did. He was the prime minister at that time, and you were just a down-and-out prince. Of course I had to tell him. If I didn’t tell him, then this old guy might get some silver coins or gold coins. If that’s the case, then what else?

What's wrong with you? Li Qi rubbed his forehead and avoided Zhao Kai's eyes.

At this moment, the entourage outside the door said: "To report to the emperor, Qin Shaozai and the three envoys are outside the door asking for an audience."

Li Qi almost laughed when he heard this. It seems that the third commander's life is not easy either!

Zhao Kai clicked his tongue in annoyance, then waved his hand and said: "Let them come in."

"yes."

Soon, Qin Hui and Zheng Yi walked in. As soon as Qin Hui saw Zhao Kai, he saluted and said: "I am incompetent and can't help you to worry about me. Why should I ask the emperor to serve me as a minister?" His voice was very aggrieved. It was as if he was himself.

It's like my mother passed away.

Even if Zhao Kai had arrived early, he must have come here because of this matter. He rolled his eyelids and said comfortingly: "Okay, okay, I have no intention of hiding it from you. As a young master, you can hide this matter."

You, I just plan to tell you some time later. Since you are here, I will tell you now. Get up, get up."

"yes."

Qin Hui stood up.

Zhao Kai waved his hand and said: "You guys should sit down too." Then he said to Li Qi: "You tell them." Since Cai Jing had guessed it, he knew he couldn't keep it a secret, so he simply told them so that they could listen to them.

Opinion.

Cai Jing felt happy when he heard this. He had only guessed a small part of it. There were still many key points that he didn't know yet, and he was still confused.

Li Qi said hey: "Your Majesty, this is what you asked me to say."

Zhao Kai said: "Yes. If something happens, I will be responsible for it alone. If the people want to scold me, they can scold me. That's okay."
