Sheng Shi Merciful Light

Although he brought the two princes out to play, Mu Ci didn't have the time to accompany them, so he called Wang Ziguang to bring some little princes from Dingwang's family out to play with the two little princes.

Children should play without worry.

Because Mei Rong had to go on a business trip for ten days and a half a month, she had to complete the work quickly.Together with Mei Rong, Mu Ci called King Guangling to determine the reform plan for the Daxing Royal Bank, and set the interest rates and various regulations for deposits and loans.At the same time, feed back the situation encountered in the issuance of money orders and banknotes, and take corresponding measures.

As for the Fengnian money in the three-level currency system, under the strong request of Lu Dingguo, it was handed over to the Ministry of Accounts and the bank to jointly supervise the casting and issuance. All raw materials were provided by the treasury, workers and technology were provided by the bank, and the new money was divided into three or seven. Seventy percent goes to the national treasury, and thirty percent goes to the royal bank.

The Jianqian Supervisor was also moved from the imperial city to Luoshui on the outskirts of Beijing, where it was controlled by heavy troops.

The newly invented method of hydraulic stamping and coin casting by Royal Silver was also bought by the treasury at a high price, and was used to cast old copper coins with holes...Of course, Lu Dingguo soon discovered that the hole in the middle of the copper coin is easy to damage the mold and can be stamped The efficiency is very high, it is really difficult to choose.

As soon as the new money is put into the market, it is very popular because of its convenient exchange and sufficient quantity. It is only a matter of time before it gradually replaces the old copper coins.

After a busy afternoon, various plans for the bank were established, and the issue of money orders and banknotes were also resolved one by one. Mu Ci felt a little tired and rubbed her forehead.When Mei Rong saw it, she naturally moved to sit beside him, wrapped him in her arms and massaged him: "Tired?"

"It's been cold for the past two days. I discussed with my third brother in the palace until midnight last night. I may have caught the cold and felt a little uncomfortable." Mu Ci didn't hide it from Mei Rong.

Mei Rong grabbed Mu Ci's hand and touched it, it was indeed cold, she frowned and asked, "Did Doctor Yue see it?"

"There's nothing to look at, and I don't want to take medicine." Mu Ci was the most uncooperative patient in history.

Mei Rong didn't care, and ordered someone to call Le Jing, while rubbing Mu Ci's forehead and neck.

Although King Guangling is not very familiar with Mei Rong, he already knew the relationship between the two of them, and he didn't take it for a second. He just pretended that he didn't see the person on the other side showing affection. Think about it, although Mu Ci's spirit is not very good, but Some things still need to be clarified: "Nephew, I heard that one of the policy issues is to reopen the trade market with border countries. Has this matter been confirmed to be done?"

"It must be done!" Mu Ci replied, among other things, even in order to temporarily stabilize the disaster-stricken Beirong and Xiliang, the reopening of the mutual market must be put on the agenda.This is the tacit agreement reached between Mu Ci and Emperor Deguang last night, but there are some things that are not suitable for publicity.

King Guangling said happily: "It's very good. Blocking is worse than sparse. We have been cracking down on smuggling. If we don't talk about us, the border countries will sooner or later be forced to jump the wall."

Mu Ci nodded after hearing what King Guangling said, "That's right, but it won't let the Four Kingdoms easily get what they want. They still have 11 years of tribute money to make up. If they are not sincere, we won't talk about it."

The corner of Guangling King's mouth twitched, he was most aware that the so-called claiming to be a minister and paying tribute was a scam by the late emperor, he said: "It is not easy to ask the four countries to pay tribute."

Mu Ci relaxed and leaned on Mei Rong's arms, and said indifferently: "It's up to people."

King Guangling thought about this young boy who looked limp and lacklustre. When he became so fierce, he was so fierce that he could block and kill gods, and Buddhas could block and kill Buddhas. There was nothing impossible.

"I don't do things I'm not sure about." Mu Ci said lightly.

King Guangling smiled gloatingly, and wanted to light candles for the four kingdoms.Others called this a bragging, but Mu Ci said it was a solid fact.

Qi Yan came in suddenly, whispered something to Mu Ci, Mu Ci came out from Mei Rong's arms, sat upright, and said gently: "Let some children come in."

Mei Rong's hands were still rubbing Mu Ci's neck, and Mu Ci didn't shake him off.

Qi Yan nodded and went down, leading in Wang Ziguang, the two princes, and the eleventh-ranked grandson of Ding Wang's family, the little fatty Muruo.The faces of the four children were flushed when they were playing, but they had all been cleaned up. The dust and sweat on their faces had been wiped off, and their forehead hair had been combed. Except for the fact that their hair was a little wet, they were not rude.

The children saluted Mu Ci and King Guangling, and politely said hello to General Dinghai Mei Rong, without arrogance.Because the bearded man of mixed race was very valued by the King of Chu, the two of them were still sitting together at the moment, and their behavior was a little intimate, so the children would not lose face.

Only Mu Ruofang had never seen the legendary new favorite of the King of Chu, his eyes widened, his eyelashes flickered and he looked at Mei Rong a few more times.

Mei Rong raised his eyes and smiled brightly at him. The little fat man was stunned for a moment, then he smiled heartlessly at Mei Rong, and even poked Wang Ziguang with his elbow, thinking in a low voice: "Why do I think, General Dinghai looks...actually quite good-looking?"

It's not at all like the legendary scourge that can sorcerer.

Wang Ziguang couldn't help giving him a blank look, and subconsciously moved half a step to the side, expressing that he didn't know this guy.

Mei Rong was in a good mood, it was rare for a Chinese child to express such direct kindness to him.Although he doesn't care about other people's eyes, he is always happy to be liked rather than hated.

When she was happy, she naturally grabbed Mu Ci's hand, clasped his ten fingers, and kept rubbing Mu Ci's tender hand with her thumb.

Because of the recent accident, the two princes became cautious and cautious. They didn't dare to see the King of Chu being intimate with others. They also saw that there were many account books and documents on the case table between King Guangling and Mu Ci, and they knew that they disturbed people's work.

Mu Qi lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, and said politely: "My nephew has nothing to say, I have been bothering Uncle Wang for so long, I really feel uneasy..."

Knowing what he was thinking, Mu Ci waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's still early, and what we're talking about is not shady, so it's okay for you to listen to it, except for your parents and relatives, don't talk about it outside."

Wang Ziguang loves to listen to this kind of official business, does he feel like an adult?He hurriedly moved the chair by himself, sat beside Mu Ci and expressed his intention to listen.The other children couldn't leave immediately, so Mu Ruofeng quickly moved a bench and greeted the two princes: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, come and sit!"

The two princes: "..." I had no choice but to go and sit down.In fact, they want to hear it too.

King Guangling knew the temper of King Chu, and he was extremely cold-blooded and ruthless towards the enemy, but he always had too much kindness and peace towards the children. When he thought about the parents and close relatives behind these children, he knew that Mu Ci wanted to fight through the children and the lucky upper class first. As soon as he greeted him, he was kind and generous, and said to Mu Ci: "After all, the four countries have forged a deep hatred with our country. Now that they propose to reopen the border trade, there must be many ministers who oppose it in the court."

"It doesn't matter, it is reasonable to have objections to anything." Mu Ci was still very calm, and said, "The first day of May is the national memorial day. At that time, envoys from various countries will come to congratulate them, and they must mention this matter."

King Guangling smiled, and cupped his hands towards Mu Ci: "You must have been fussy, can you reveal a little bit?"

All the children looked at Mu Ci, their big black eyes were like shining star eyes - they all regarded King Chu as a male god.

Mu Ci nodded to King Guangling: "First of all, the imperial court will list items that are prohibited from trade, such as iron, weapons, etc., which are called trade-controlled products and are not allowed to be sold. Only tea, porcelain, cloth, and other daily necessities can be traded, and only We need to exchange horses, furs and other real objects, and copper coins are prohibited. This kind of tea and horses can be called "tea-horse exchange market". I discussed it with my third brother yesterday, and he thinks it is feasible."

King Guangling's eyes lit up: "Yes! This way everyone gets what they need, and it also eliminates the hidden danger of other countries obtaining copper as weapons."

Mu Ci said: "At the same time, I will suggest that the imperial court place the trading venues outside the country. The border countries provide suitable venues, and the imperial court sends troops to protect them. After all, the safety and interests of our merchants are entitled to protection."

King Guangling pondered for a while. This is equivalent to extending its military strength abroad, and at the same time it is convenient to collect information, but these are top secrets and are not suitable for telling children.

"Not necessarily," Mu Ci said. People in this era don't value the country so much. The border country will definitely feel that it is more safe to trade all the property within its own territory. If it comes to robbery... Everyone understands, so it may not necessarily refuse .

Mu Ci continued: "The two countries sent envoys at the same time to monitor the transaction, and appropriately collected the rental fee of the venue, which was used to support the army and avoid increasing the burden on the national treasury. But the transaction does not levy taxes, at least our country's goods are exported, and no foreign tax is levied, and other countries don't care. "

King Guangling narrowed his eyes: "No taxes? So the court has been busy for so long, just for a few horses?"

Mu Ci shook his head: "It's just that the tax is not collected when leaving the country. The tax is collected in the country first, but it needs to be changed. The imperial court issued a fixed amount of mutual market tea, porcelain and silk to the state capitals, and the merchants went to the yamen of each government to buy. According to this, you can obtain a license to bring goods into the mutual market for trading, and offenders will be punished as smuggling. However, the imperial court does not interfere with the price of tea and horse transactions, and the merchants set prices for free trade according to the market. When buying strategic materials urgently needed by the imperial court, such as horses, Inbound transactions are also tax-free, and other goods that are not urgently needed by the imperial court will charge some inbound taxes."

King Guangling thought for a while, clapped his hands and laughed, and nodded Mu Ci: "It's okay, kid. In this way, although the entire mutual market transaction seems to be free, it is actually all controlled by the imperial court."

Wang Ziguang and Mu Qi fell into deep thought, while the other two children's eyes lit up and they worshiped Mu Ci even more.

Mei Rong didn't interrupt at first, but added at this time: "In this way, the imperial government's quota of tea imports can be fully collected into the national treasury, avoiding the loss of tax money. As for the prices sold by the government offices of each government, is it the nominal price..."

Mu Ci didn't speak, and King Guangling gave a thumbs up again, but he didn't say that there were children present.

At that time, there must be more monks and less porridge, and the government offices of various governments will definitely raise the price. This part of the price difference is actually some benefits that the imperial court defaults to the state capitals. Let everyone make a fortune together.As for officials using their power for personal gain, the selling price is too high, and this kind of trickery is forced to be apportioned... If it causes public complaints, it will be the supervision responsibility of the procuratorial envoys placed by the imperial court in various places.

Doing so can save you a lot of trouble.The most important thing is that the money from the fixed quota tea can be returned to the national treasury, which reduces corruption, avoids the interference and oppression of court officials in the mutual market behavior, and stimulates the enthusiasm of merchants to trade in the market.

If the merchant violates the regulations, such as overselling, he will be charged a huge fine if he is investigated and dealt with.The sale of prohibited goods will be treated as smuggling and will be severely cracked down.

"The specific details have yet to be perfected, and we can make corresponding adjustments according to the situation of the mutual market." Mu Ci said, "However, Uncle Wang can now form a caravan to prepare for the mutual market, and it will start soon."

"Okay, I think my nephew is a genius in business, and I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." King Guangling urged again.

"Sure, my cooperation with Uncle Wang is very pleasant." Mu Ci promised.

King Guangling is very optimistic about the border trade opened in this way, and domestic resistance will be minimized.Because the smuggling has been strictly investigated for so long, everyone knows Chu Wangcha's determination to smuggle.Now anyone can be interested in being able to make money with border transactions in a fair manner.

Everyone will want a piece of the pie, and everyone will find a way to make the court let go, and the opposing forces will be suppressed... If the tea-horse trade market is not passed, it must be passed. The power of the masses... No, the power of interests is Unstoppable.

After seeing off King Guangling and arranging for someone to send the two princes back, Mei Rong stared at Le Jing to give Mu Ci a diagnosis and treatment, and directly took a bottle of cold-dispelling and conditioning medicine for Mu Ci to eat.

Mu Ci refused to eat, Mei Rong directly "feed" Mu Ci once, then hugged Mu Ci and sighed: "Ruo Que, you are so sick and refuse to take medicine, how can I feel relieved to go to the fiefdom? I left you for ten and a half months, How worried should I be?"

The mourning policy is very effective. Mu Ci knew that Mei Rong was really worried. Recently, he was in good health and could withstand the effects of the medicine, so he agreed: "Okay, I will take the medicine myself if you are not around."

It's really rare! !

Mei Rong kissed Mu Ci until she couldn't breathe, to celebrate.

……

Mei Rong's official business has not been finished yet, and she is going to the business building to implement what was discussed today, but something seems wrong today, where is the inseparable guy?Mei Rong asked the consultant around: "Where's brother?"

He also followed Mu Ci to call his brother.

"Recently, there are many night guards, so he is busy." Mu Ci said.

Mei Rong didn't ask specifically, it's not a system.

Mu Ci was uncomfortable and too lazy to move, Mei Rong was very happy to hug him to bed, kissed his forehead to test the temperature, and said: "If you don't have a fever yet, if you feel uncomfortable, rest more and drink more water, I will come back to accompany you at night you."

"It's okay, I'm not a delicate girl. Just go about your business and don't forget about me." Mu Ci said, lying down and resting obediently.

"Be obedient, wait for me to come back to help you deal with official business, don't read idle books, sleep well... huh?" Mei Rong warned worriedly.

Mu Ci closed her eyes: "OK!"

Mei Rong loves Mu Ci the most, she will do whatever she promises no matter how big or small, so she can go to work with confidence.

……

As soon as Mei Rong was busy, she didn't come back until late at night. She was so tired that she climbed into the bed and hugged Mu Ci after washing. She couldn't open her eyes, but she still remembered to touch his forehead first, and it didn't feel hot. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "I'm living this day... It's meaningful to hold you in my arms."

Except for getting up for dinner, Mu Ci had been resting groggy all the time. Now that she was awake, she helped Mei Rong untangle her hair and massage her head for him.

Mei Rong grabbed Mu Ci's hand and kissed her fingertips: "My lord, it's okay, you can rest yourself." Even more difficult than this, Mei Rong also carried it over. He complained a few times, but it was just acting like a baby.

Mu Ci knew what Mei Rong was busy with all day, so she didn't ask, and just patted him: "Sleep well!"

"Hmm..." Mei Rong squinted her eyes, but opened them quickly, turned over and pressed Mu Ci, leaning against his forehead and said, "I heard a little rumor..."

"Huh? What?"

"I heard that you agreed to your majesty's marriage?" Mei Rong's tone was a little dangerous.He doesn't care about flowers and plants, he trusts Mu Ci.But big marriages are different. You have to marry a princess, the wife that the media is marrying, so you can't help but care about it.

Mu Ci moved her nose and sniffed it: "It's really sour...how much vinegar has been spilled?"

"I'm almost drowning in vinegar!" Mei Rong kissed Mu Ci lightly, with a smile on her lips... she could still laugh.

Mu Ci kissed back and smiled slightly: "Which one is so quick, I told you?"

"King Qinghe!" Mei Rong didn't feel guilty about betraying his teammates at all. Anyway, King Qinghe sent someone to tell him today, and he didn't avoid anyone. It was easy for Mu Ci to investigate.

Mu Ci laughed, knowing it was him without guessing.King Qinghe was quite protective of Mei Rong.

Mei Rong looked at Mu Ci affectionately and focused: "Then do you want to get married, please tell me honestly."

Mu Ci heard the solemnity in his tone, and gently outlined his three-dimensional and tough facial features with her fingertips, and said, "This...do you want me to get married?"

Melancholy grabbed Mu Ci's hand and kissed each of his fingertips.He could show his tender heart to Mu Ci, so he was very frank with Mu Ci, and said sullenly: "Of course I don't want to." He looked at Mu Ci seriously, "But I don't want to, can I stop you?"

Mu Ci smiled: "No!"

This natural tone made Mei Rong sigh.In the sweet heart that has been in love for the past few days, I suddenly feel a little blocked - the person in my arms, who falls in love with me, will belong to me from body to soul.But there are too many reasons, from the point of view of morality and law, they cannot belong to themselves.

Mu Ci continued to stab Mei Rong's heart: "Xinghai, I'm married, what will you do?"
