Zhao Xuan was taught the six arts by a famous teacher since he was a child. He is an all-rounder with sharp facial features and quick reactions. He only concentrated on the gold coins, and was attacked by two thieves who cooperated closely and snatched the gold coins between his fingers.Zhao Xuan's gold coin was robbed, and he had already realized that there was something wrong with the man in gray who collided head-on, so he immediately raised his foot and kicked the man in gray to the ground.After kicking the gray-clothed man, Zhao Xuan didn't care about him anymore, and threw him to Boyao and Wu Xian to catch him, and he just stepped up and accelerated to chase the escaped thief.Zhao Xuan didn't care about a gold dollar, but the thief snatched his head, which made Zhao Xuan annoyed and felt ashamed, so he must catch the thief and punish him severely.

The twenty guards scattered around Zhao Xuan saw Xiaoxiao robbing his lord, they had already surrounded him, Zhao Xuan chased the thief, and some of the guards immediately followed.Zhao Xuan chased very fast, and the little thief also ran away quickly, quite as fast as Wei Qing snatching food, and then relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he made his way through the crowd, making Zhao Xuan and his guards' pursuit speed blocked by pedestrians, a moment later , distance between Zhao Xuan and the little thief.

"Who stopped that little thief, Gu...Liang will reward you heavily."

Seeing that the thief was about to escape, Zhao Xuan couldn't help being anxious, and loudly offered a reward for the street people to help intercept him, but the pedestrians on the street hadn't realized what was going on, so of course no one came to help Zhao Xuan intercept the thief.

Just when Zhao Xuan was angry, a man in blue suddenly jumped forward not far away, his speed was like a ghost, he chased behind the thin thief in the blink of an eye, and "suddenly" slapped the scabbard on the thief's vest, The little thief rushed forward, spurted blood from his mouth, staggered two steps and fell to the ground.The man in blue slowed down, held the sword in his arms, and walked slowly in front of the little thief, looking indifferently at the little thief who was struggling on the ground.

"Hero, let the little one go, this is the property that the little one robbed, and I will give it all to the hero." The thin thief looked at the man in blue with horror in his eyes, and he took out the gold coins and gold coins he had snatched from his arms. Other belongings were handed to the man in blue.In fact, the man in blue is not tall, but in the eyes of the thief, he is as overwhelming as a mountain.

"Mere money wants to buy it, you underestimate Kui!" The man in blue sneered, the people of Daqin are very shameless as thieves.

"Thanks to the chivalrous men for your help, Liang will definitely pay a lot of money..." Zhao Xuan, who was a step behind, arrived, and thanked the man in blue.

"Haha, why should a man use common things to reward him for his actions!" The man in blue looked up to the sky and smiled, nodded at Zhao Xuan and walked away.

"Stop the chivalrous man!" Zhao Xuan shouted, the skill of the man in blue made him want to attract him.

Just when Zhao Xuan wanted to chase the man in blue, the security guards in Cannes stopped Zhao Xuan.

"Hey! Why did this person fall to the ground with serious injuries? What is his relationship with you?" There were guards in charge of security patrolling the streets of Cannes, and when they heard the strange movement here, they hurried over to check what happened. When they arrived, they found a person struggling on the ground. Zhao Xuan, who was standing beside him, wanted to run away, so he immediately pulled out the iron rod around his waist to stop him.

Zhao Xuan looked at the guards who stopped him and frowned. If he was in Zhao country, Zhao Xuan really wanted to kick over the guards.

In fact, Zhao Xuan wronged the security guards in Cannes. The two thieves who attacked Zhao Xuan today are habitual offenders. They are familiar with the terrain of Cannes, and they have figured out the patrol routes of the guards. They always avoid the guards before attacking the target and robbing them Dodging immediately is the leader of the five underground gangsters in Cannes who survived the severe crackdown.

"This person robbed my boss's money." Wei Zou, who arrived a little late, quickly stood in front of Zhao Xuan. He was afraid that Zhao Xuan would conflict with the guards when he was angry. The security guards in Kangcheng have great rights, as long as they violate the laws and regulations of the State of Wu , No matter what the identity of the offender is, he has to follow the escort to the Security Bureau for investigation.If he resists, the Cannes Security Bureau can ask the army to arrest him if necessary.

"Ha, this person is one of the squirrel thieves." The guard grabbed the hair of the thin man who was still holding his heart and moaning on the ground, and asked the thin man to look up for him to identify. It turned out that this man was the repeat criminal that the Security Bureau wanted to arrest.The ground squirrel dodged very well, and the people from the security bureau stole the nickname "the ground squirrel thief" because of these two habits.

"This thief should be severely punished." Zhao Xuan suggested that if he were in Zhao country, he would chop off the hands of the two thieves.

"This has to be done according to the law. We can't do lynching." The guard blew the iron whistle hanging on his chest, summoned his companions to tie up the two habitual thieves and take them back to the security bureau, and asked Zhao Xuan and his party to go to the nearby security bureau to make a record , and signed the record to leave the temporary address before letting them leave. The gold coin was not returned to Zhao Xuan, saying that the owner would be notified to claim it after the interrogation was over.

Zhao Xuan didn't care about the little money, chasing the thief was just offended by the thief, after he came out from the security bureau, Zhao Xuan asked Wei Zou: "How will Wu Fahui punish the thief?"

"My boss, it depends on the circumstances. If you threaten to rob with a murder weapon, the sentence will be heavier, up to the death penalty. Today's robbery also depends on the number of crimes. The minimum for a first-time offender is half a year of hard labor. For habitual offenders, it depends on the number of thefts. The lightest crime is three years." , the crime is as serious as the death penalty." Wei Zou is very familiar with Wu's laws and regulations.

"Why not corporal punishment?" Zhao Xuan felt that the punishment was too light.

"Wu has abolished corporal punishment, and even the death penalty is only hanged."

Zheng Yuming encountered great resistance when he abolished corporal punishment, but Zheng Yuming was particularly stubborn on this point.After the sentencing standard was set, Zheng Yuming's soft-hearted image became the consensus of the court ministers.Due to the continuous economic development of Cannes, the common people can eat, drink, and clothe themselves warmly, and the crime rate has continued to decrease. In addition, unlike the original state of Wu, which relied on soldiers guarding the city to maintain law and order in the city, it set up a security bureau to manage law and order.Special agencies have been established to combat criminals, and crimes have been curbed.The punishment in Wu State was reduced, and the crime rate decreased instead. There was no doubt in the royal court, but the criminals stipulated in Wu State's laws and regulations were dealt with according to the law regardless of their identity, which made some nobles secretly complain.

"The sentence is too light, no wonder the thieves are wanton." Zhao Xuan shook his head, and attributed the behavior of the two habitual thieves who dared to snatch his gold coins to Wu's criminal law.

"The humble official also thinks that Wu's criminal law is a trifle, not as deterrent as our country's criminal law." Wei Zou flattered in a low voice.

Zhao Xuan smiled slightly, it was very helpful to Wei Zou's words.

This unpleasant episode wasted Zhao Xuan's half an hour, Zhao Xuan lost the intention of wandering in Cannes, and asked Wei Zou to lead him directly to Wenxiang and return to the restaurant.

The men sent by Wei Zouxian were aggressive with silver bullets. They offered fifty gold dollars to the shopkeeper to try to free up a box. This box was originally used by the shopkeeper’s wife and daughter tomorrow. The box is located on the third floor and has the best view of the street view. .The owner was tempted by fifty gold, and Wei Zou was a big customer of the restaurant, so the owner transferred the box reserved for his wife and daughter to Zhao Xuan. That night, Zhao Xuan and his party ate in this box.

"This is Gongzi Guang?" Zhao Xuan finally saw the beauty on the dollar in the private room. After seeing it, Zhao Xuan was a little disappointed. The appearance of Gongzi Guang on the image was handsome, but not to the point of stunning. I met Chu Yu, a son of the Lu family, who was much worse. It's a pity that we have been separated from Chu Yu for three years, and it is a pity that we cannot see each other again.

"Yes, in addition to U.S. dollars, Wu coins also have silver dollars. Each coin has the same weight and size. Whether you are a merchant or a commoner, it is very convenient to use Wu coins to trade goods. You don't need to carry weighing scales or knives with you." Wei Wei Zou took out a set of Wu coins for Zhao Xuan to take a closer look at.

"No! The dollar is not as heavy as one gold, and the silver dollar is even smaller." Zhao Xuan frowned suddenly. He asked Wu Xian to take out the money bag and take out Zhao Guoyi gold to compare with the dollar. Sure enough, the dollar weighed only one gold. Two-thirds, just improve the purity and look more beautiful, the same is true for silver dollars.

"Can this kind of gold coin be equal to one of our gold coins?" Boyao yelled, thinking that no one would exchange the heavy gold with Wu Guo for dollars or silver dollars.

"Wu Guoyou Bank guarantees that U.S. dollars can be converted into gold at any time, and using Wu Guo's currency will not cause losses. People are happy to use Wu coins for transactions."

Merchants have a lot of coins in banks, and they can also issue promissory notes. There are banks in all counties and counties of Wu State. Merchants carry light promissory notes, which can be exchanged into US dollars or gold in banks all over Wu State. You only need to pay a little handling fee. , because it is easy to carry and the transaction is easy to convert, merchants from all over the world began to use promissory notes and gold and silver coins of the state of Wu.

"Can it be exchanged at any time?" Wu Xian was suddenly excited. He turned his head and looked at the box door. There were guards inside and outside the box door, and no one could approach the box. "Your Highness! Our country can imitate Wu coins, and then go to the Wu country bank to exchange them, and you can get more gold."

The U.S. dollar of Wu coins is only two-thirds of gold, and the imitation of U.S. dollars can be exchanged for one-third more gold, but the gold used to make U.S. dollars needs to be purified and lost, and the purification technology is also a bit difficult. As long as these are solved, Wu Milling thinks it is a problem A good way to get rich.

"Wu's gold coins are beautifully made, with bright surfaces and detailed and clear patterns, so it is difficult to imitate." Zhao Xuan shook his head. "The U.S. dollar of Wu dared to exchange small coins for gold coins, relying on the casting process."

"It's a pity!" Wu Xian and Bo Yao were discouraged at the same time.

"I'm afraid that after the currency of Wu State is recognized by the merchants of Daqin, the merchants will take the gold that is in the way to the bank and exchange it for easy-to-convertible Wu coins. Gold from various countries will continue to flow into Wu State, which is really cheap for Wu State." Zhao Xuan in the end He has a flexible mind, figured this out, and deeply felt that Mr. Luoyan was despicable, openly engaged in money-absorbing activities, Zhao Xuan did not have superb coin casting skills, did not have a bank as a guarantee, and did not have rich items to attract merchants. Even if he figured it out, he could only envy.

In fact, the benefits of the emergence of the Wu Country Bank and the new currency are far from the two points that Zhao Xuan thinks of now, Zhao Xuan will have to wait a long time to understand.The bank of Wu State has a reputation, and saving money in the bank has interest, which is far more cost-effective than keeping the money in the treasury at home. The bank of Wu State has a reputation, and Daqin will deposit money in the State of Wu if he has money. Coins from all over the country can be used to develop the country's economy, and at the same time, it has mastered the economic lifeline of the Great Qin Dynasty.

There is a saying that is good, the one who owes money is grandpa, and Wu Guo, who owes money to the rich and powerful in the whole Daqin, has to weigh his own savings in Wu Guo's bank if anyone touches him.

While Zhao Xuan and his ministers were discussing, there was a quarrel outside the box.

"Wei Zou, go and see what's going on." Boyao stood up, put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and stood guard by the door of the box.

Wei Zou was ordered to go out of the box to check, after a while, Wei Zou came back to report.

"Prince, the chivalrous man who helped us catch the thief is arguing with the shopkeeper outside."

"Oh, why are you arguing?"

"It was the knight who wanted to book a window facing the street, but the shopkeeper couldn't arrange it, so the hero had a dispute with the shopkeeper."

"Oh, hurry up and invite that chivalrous man to come in for dinner, Guzheng wants to reward him." Zhao Xuan began to attract the man in blue on the street.

"Here!" Wei Zou took the order and left.

After a while, the quarrel outside stopped, and the thin and not tall man in blue with a sword around his waist followed Wei Zou into the box.

"Kuiji from Yan has seen you all." Kuiji glanced at him and knew that Zhao Xuan was in charge of the box, so he gave Zhao Xuan his hands.

"My lord Liang Xuan, thank you chivalrous men for your help. These are the stewards of my family." Zhao Xuan stood up to greet Kuiji, and introduced Bo Yao and Wu Mian beside him one by one for Kuiji.

After Kuiji and the others had met the ceremony, Zhao Xuan invited Kuiji to take a seat, and ordered the shopkeeper to serve Kuiji with food and drinks. Kuiji snorted coldly when he saw the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper apologized to Kuiji in a low voice with a bitter face.

"Strong man, it's not the small ones that raised the price. In fact, the boxes facing the street have already been booked tomorrow, and the small ones can't be spared."

Kuiji had the money prepared for him by King Tang on him, and he didn't care how much the deposit was for the box, but the shopkeeper just shook his head and refused, which aroused Kuiji's anger and kicked the tables and chairs downstairs on the spot. If Wei Zou hadn't gone down to greet him, Kuiji I want to show the owner a little bit of power.

Kuiji glared at the shopkeeper a few times, and the shopkeeper carefully walked out of the box with a smile.

"The chivalrous man also wants to see Mr. Ming?" Zhao Xuan was a little unhappy in his heart. Kuiji is highly skilled in martial arts. Is such a person also attracted by Mr. Luoyan?

"That's right, Kui just wanted to see Mr. Ming, and Kui wanted to see if Mr. Ming is worth following." Kuiji had already planned to take advantage of the opportunity of serving Wu to get close to Zheng Yuming, and this excuse would allow him to watch the southern tour team in an open and honest manner. , Kuiji felt that he could find an opportunity to assassinate.

"A chivalrous man wants to serve the country of Wu?" The smile on Zhao Xuan's face was a bit far-fetched.

"Haha, that's right, a man wants to be rich and honored." What Kuiji wanted to say was that a man wanted to be famous all over the world, and Tang Wang's promise of wealth was just a benefit.

Zhao Xuan pondered and persuaded him tactfully. "In fact, it is not Wu who has the wealth and honor of a man."

Wu Xian heard the lord's intention of soliciting, and joined in the persuasion: "Then the prince of Zhao State values ​​martial arts, and he is thirsty for talents. If a knight-errant goes to Zhao State, he will definitely be reused."

Kuiji was taken aback, going to Zhao country?Going to the Zhao country to assassinate the prince Zhao, is there any sensation in the assassination of the young master?

Seeing that Kuiji was pondering, Wu Xian thought that Kuiji was moved, and continued to lobby: "My master and Prince Zhao are close friends. If knights want to go to Zhao to serve, they can follow my master first. When my master returns to Zhao, he can do it for him." Hero recommended."

"I have lunch here tomorrow and I will go to Ulsan. I can return to Zhao after I finish my business in Ulsan. The knights don't have to wait long." Zhao Xuan was very satisfied with Wu Xian's support, and it was no loss to his closest vassal who knew his thoughts best. Ji's thinking also made Zhao Xuan feel moved.

After hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Kuiji's eyes lit up, and he stood up and bowed to Zhao Xuan: "Since Mr. Liang's family invites you so much, how dare Kui not agree!"

Kuiji was about to find a box to find an opportunity to assassinate him, and the businessman in front of him brought him convenience, and it was worthwhile for him to help out.

After Kuiji agreed, Zhao Xuan was overjoyed, and had a banquet that night, and the guests and hosts had a great time.
