Great Song

"Brother Miao! The Xihe side has won a big victory!" After returning home and setting aside the reward, Zhen Qiong ran to find Han Miao.

Rao was working, Han Miao also looked up in surprise: "When did it happen? Is it really a big victory?"

"It seems to be a good news just sent. It really is a big victory! It defeated the coalition forces of the three Qiang tribes, and even defeated the Tubo army who came to support them. It is said that there are 2 prisoners!" Zhen Qiong said in a special way. Excited, "It's all because of the artillery, and the officials gave me a lot of rewards!"

Since it was said by the emperor himself, it is absolutely true.Han Miao couldn't help being shocked: "If this is the case, the national debt may rise even more."

Um?Zhen Qiong didn't expect this, and hurriedly said: "Can it go up even in war? Didn't it go down a lot before, and our coupons haven't been sold yet?"

Before he heard that the national treasury bonds had fallen, Mi Fu got angry and sold the bonds in a hurry before he could wait for fifty.He also asked Han Miao, but the other party just smiled and said that he was already prepared and there was no need to worry.I didn't expect that the treasury bills would not fall but rise now. Wouldn't it be a loss if they were sold?

Han Miao laughed: "Naturally, I didn't sell it. The war has not yet come to fruition. How can I take action immediately? In less than two months, I can win a big battle, and there are so many captives. I think those dignitaries will have to deal with Hehuang. became interested."

After all, they are all fertile land, even if it increases to [-] per hectare, it is more cost-effective than most land in the world.Besides, when someone buys and sells this coupon, it is not for the land at all, but for the difference in resale price.Once good news is heard, it will immediately stimulate the market and make the price rise.Now that Wang Shao's combat power has been proven, and the artillery has become more powerful, are you afraid that everyone will not buy it?

Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up: "Brother Miao is still calm! This is great, we will sell when the price rises!"

Han Miao smiled slightly: "What Qiong'er said is that when the "Beijing News" releases the news, we will follow up."

But making money is a trivial matter, Han Miao was more concerned about what Zhen Qiong said when he entered the palace today, so he asked, "Did the officials mention the 'heliocentric theory' today?"

Despite thousands of reminders, Han Miao was still afraid that Zhen Qiong's quick talk would cause him trouble.

Zhen Qiong immediately puffed up her chest: "No! The officials only asked about the relationship between the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Humanity, and didn't mention the 'heliocentric theory' at all."

Han Miao: "..."

What is the difference between asking this question and "heliocentric theory"?

Feeling ominous in his heart, Han Miao hurriedly asked, "Then how did Qiong'er answer?"

"Naturally, learning the Dao of Heaven is beneficial to the understanding of all things. Just like the Dao of Good Fortune, it is always beneficial to learn it." Zhen Qiong replied very firmly, "By the way, the officials also asked about the relationship between the Lord and the Dao of Heaven. I pondered There are so many countries in the world, I’m afraid it doesn’t matter. I also told him about the fact that the earth’s rotation can measure its position.”

Han Miao: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Han Miao squeezed out a smile: "Didn't the officials say anything after hearing this?"

"The officials said that they will set up high platforms in various places to measure the swing speed of the pendulum. I think they believe it." After finishing speaking, Zhen Qiong scratched her head again, "Then they asked me how to govern the country. How would I know? Let him Ask other courtiers, and the officials will say that they have been taught, but they don't know what they have been taught?"

Han Miao was speechless for a while.He couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to understand, but judging from the rewards, Zhen Qiong seemed to be on the wrong track again?That's fine, as long as the emperor can stop thinking about "heaven-human interaction" and "heliocentric theory" and other terrible things, it is also good to pay more attention to state affairs.

This time, Han Miao was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Qiong'er's words must have made the officials understand something and figured out something. But in the future, this kind of thing will still cause headaches for those ministers. How do we know how to govern the country?" Woolen cloth?"

Zhen Qiong nodded vigorously: "What brother Miao said is that alchemy is the most important thing to make money. By the way, the treasury bills are about to be cashed. Have you prepared cotton seeds in our land?"

Han Miao smiled slightly: "How can I not care about my own land? I have found good seeds from the Western Regions, and I have also found some farmers who have grown cotton. As long as I get the land, I can open up wasteland and cultivate it. It grows better in dry places, and I don’t know if our land is suitable for planting.”

Zhen Qiong didn't expect this, she was stunned and said: "What if we can't grow it? Wouldn't it be a loss to just grow food?"

How much is food worth?He has [-] hectares of land, what if the more he cultivates, the more he will benefit?

Seeing his disappointment, Han Miao smiled and said, "It's okay, don't we still have a surplus of treasury bills? If not, we can buy some land in Shanzhou, and we should be able to grow cotton. Besides, there will be wars in Hehuang in the future. Food can be sold at any time."

Hey, it's still Brother Miao who thinks carefully!Zhen Qiong became happy again: "Then I will ask the government to provide more plows, no matter what you plant, you can't lose money!"

■

With the "Beijing News" publishing the news of Xihe's victory and Wang Shao's promotion and appointment, the whole capital was boiling again.This is Hehuang!The newspaper has been waiting for two or three years, and the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties is mentioned every day, who can not take it to heart?Now the second issue of treasury bills has not yet been exchanged, and the city has already been laid.They bought national debt back then to help the emperor build the city, but now they have achieved results?

"Look, if the 20 treasury bonds hadn't been sold out in one day, how could Wang Zhizhou have the money to build the city? If he didn't have the money to build the city, how would he be able to win a big victory now?" In the teahouse, someone was already blowing.

"You just bought treasury bills worth a few dollars, so you can boast like this? People's "Ri Xin Bao" didn't all say that it was General Wang who went into battle in armor and killed the enemy chieftains, which made the Qiang people lose. This General Wang is bound to He is also a genius like Mr. Su!" From this point of view, he is a loyal fan of "Su Dingfang Biography".

"What armor? Why did I hear Sun Erxian in Wazi say that this general Wang used the magic of Thunder True Monarch to summon all kinds of thunder from the sky, turn the Qiang and Tubo thieves on their backs, and beg on their knees..."

This is actually more interesting than what the previous few people said, and someone immediately urged: "There is another saying, quickly pick up some wonderful jokes and say it!"

A group of people pricked up their ears, ready to listen to a free storybook, but someone interrupted: "Whatever is thunderous, it must be a nonsense. It's still surprising that the treasury bills have risen to fifty pennies." ..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the old man sitting at the other table suddenly let out a cry and started to cry: "This old man is so confused! I sold it at the 41st guan, how could I have lost the [-]th guan!"

This crying and howling made everyone in the teahouse excited and started talking nonsense.

Some people said that forty guan is not bad anymore, there is a naive guy next door to him, who sold the eighteen guan, and in the past two months, he was so angry that he kept beating the wife at home, and drove her away in anger.Others said that some people didn't buy coupons before, but when they saw that this thing was booming, they also bought a few of them, and they sold them in the [-]s, and sold them in the [-]s, making a net profit of a hundred or so.Of course, there are inevitably people showing off over there. There are still several treasury bills at home that have not been sold, and they are just waiting for the price to rise again.

Although the stories of regaining the lost ground and the thunder falling to the enemy are pleasant, they are not as important as the immediate interests.Under all kinds of praise and momentum, the treasury bills, which had already shown signs of decline and started to fall, rose again in response.

What's wrong with Fifty Guan?One hundred mu of land, even if it is eighty acres, it's not too bad.Wang Shao seemed to be capable of fighting again, and Qinzhou was still full of fertile land in the valley, as long as it could be planted, it would definitely be profitable.When I first started selling treasury bills, I couldn't take advantage of it. Now I can't find a way to get some bills. Isn't it a loss?

Of course, there are still some people who are worried about not the land, but the rising trend.I didn't hear what those rich and rich said, you can buy eighty guan, but if you start with fifty guan, and then change hands, won't you also get ten guan?Originally, the hype was mixed, and everyone was thinking about this matter, and one by one contributed to the flames, only hating that the coupon didn't rise fast enough.

As a result, treasury bills that were originally [-] per cent, and the interest-bearing money was only [-] and a half per cent, rose from forty per cent to sixty per cent in one breath, and it seemed that there was still meaning to go up.

In such a form, it is natural for some people to beat their chests and stamp their feet, regretting it too late.

"Brother Zhen! I sold it at a loss!" Mi Fu was one of the best. Seeing the soaring treasury bills in the past two days, I just feel regretful.At the beginning, he was bullish for less than 46 guan, and he still wanted to fall, so he quickly sold it at [-] guan.It's good now, I have made dozens of pennies less in one breath!

Zhen Qiong was just about to give him a blank stare: "Didn't everyone in my family say that Han Daguan said that if you want to sell it when the redemption date comes, who can blame you for being impatient? Hurry up and collect those loose coupons, maybe they will increase in value in the future." Woolen cloth."

Hearing this sarcastic remark made Mi Fu's heart ache even more: "Even if it's a collection, it may not be able to increase so much! You said that if I go to buy some now, how about selling it after the increase?"

Zhen Qiong immediately shook her head: "No, no, my family's senior official Han has already said that the price is being driven up in the market now, and it is very likely that you won't be able to find a buyer if you buy it at this time, and it will be bad if it falls into your hands."

It's not that he hasn't been moved, he even asked Han Miao specifically.But Han Miao said that buying now is not worth the loss, and most of the time it is because Jiaozihang is controlling the market, and it is very likely to be cheated, so he gave up.Now that Mi Fu has earned over twenty dollars, don't worry about it.

When Mi Fu heard this, he couldn't help sighing in disappointment: "I don't know if such a good thing will happen in the future. If I had known this, I should have bought more coupons."

As if remembering something, he asked again: "By the way, brother Zhen, you bought a lot of coupons back then, right? This time, you made a lot of money!"

Zhen Qiong immediately puffed up her chest: "I don't want to sell my coupons. When the time comes, I will open up wasteland in Qinzhou and grow cotton."

Mi Fu's face was full of confusion: "It's nothing more than land reclamation, why do you still grow cotton? Isn't cotton grown in the south?"

It is said that kapok only grows in the south, and this thing is not only used to fill pillows and quilts, what is the use of planting it?

Seeing Mi Fu's appearance, Zhen Qiong was even more complacent: "This is a fine seed I found from the Western Regions. When it is planted in pieces, it can be spun and made into cotton clothes and quilts. It will definitely make a lot of money. My family Officials Han have already said, first try it in Qinzhou, if it doesn’t work, go to Shanzhou to buy land, and it will definitely be planted!”

Mi Fu saw that he said so firmly, and that his family was indeed a money-maker, and he was a little moved: "Then can I grow some?"

Seeing how pitiful this kid is, Zhen Qiong thought for a while: "Forget it, if the time comes to open up wasteland, I will take you to plant it. But if this is the case, you still have to keep some of your coupons and exchange them for land at that time."

"That's easy to say, I still have several coupons!" Mi Fu immediately patted his chest.That's quite a few hectares of land. Even if it doesn't cost much to grow food, can it be better to grow cotton?This time he will never make his own decisions, he will listen to Zhen Qiong's orders!If you run out of money, just borrow some from your mother.For a moment, thinking of making money from cotton fields in the future, the pain of losing money before has dissipated a lot.

After his mood eased, Mi Fu was elated again, and he showed off his new inkstone to Zhen Qiong...
