My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 202 New Money Issuance

Wearing coarse clothes, Su Ze led Fang Aizhu and a group of soldiers from the Changning Guard, Yu Xiangyong, into Jiufeng Mountain.

The morning mist dissipated, and in Jiufeng Mountain, I saw a scene of a paradise.

The old man led the cattle and passed the bridge.

It's just that this old man doesn't even have a single piece of clothing on his body, only a few pieces of cloth covering his lower body. His thin body is like paper, which makes this picture lose its beauty.

Su Ze led the crowd to approach the old man. Fang Aizhu stepped forward and asked, "Elder? Are you a farmer in Wufeng Mountain?"

The old man turned his head, but there was no expression on his face. He opened his mouth and a strange word came out.

Fang Aizhu wanted to ask again, but Su Ze stopped him and said, "Don't ask, he is from She."

Hearing that she was from She, Fang Aizhu took two steps back, Xiang Yong who was beside Su Ze wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Su Ze.

[Purple Passive—Language Genius: Learning any language automatically has the basic communication ability of Lv2 level by default, and the level of language skills already has +1.]

Su Ze said a few weird words, and the old man on the opposite side looked at Su Ze in surprise, and started talking with Su Ze like this.

After talking for a while, Su Ze popped up [She language experience +5, Lv2, 1/200]

Through the passive bonus, Su Ze's She language has been raised to Lv3 level, his conversation with the old man has become more and more fluent, and the old man's attitude towards Su Ze has also become better and better.

After the conversation was over, Su Ze said:

"He is a tenant of Huang's farm on Jiufeng Mountain."

tenant? Seeing the old She's disheveled appearance, Fang Aizhu looked at him with some doubts.

The Fang family also has a Zhuangzi in Quanzhou Prefecture. Although Mrs. Li is obsessed with horse cranes, she still devotes herself to the family business. The farm is well-managed, and the tenants there are not so emaciated.

Su Ze said: "These are Sheng She who did not register as Qimin. They were captured from the mountains by the Huang family, and they are no different from slaves."

Before Su Ze could finish speaking, there was a loud shout from a distance.

The old She man in front of him was startled, and quickly curled up and squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.

He only saw a strong man with a short whip striding forward. He glanced at the old She who was squatting on the ground, looked Su Ze up and down and said:

"Where did you come from!"

If it weren't for seeing Su Ze's extraordinary appearance and the brave and strong Changning Weixiang behind him, this strong man would not be so polite.

But a few days ago, the young master asked Zhuangzi to strengthen patrols and not let outsiders in. The strong man said in a fierce tone:

"The front is the Huang family's farm, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

After speaking, the strong man picked up the old She man who was squatting on the ground, and was about to leave with the cow.

How could Su Ze let him leave like this, he grabbed the strong man's arm and said:

"We still have a few words to say with the old man, and we will leave after I finish talking."

The strong man was about to shake off Su Ze's hand, but Su Ze's 11-point strength clamped his hand like iron clamps.

Sweat dripped from the strong man's head, and Fang Aizhu helped the old She man on the ground up. Su Ze talked to him in She language again, and then let go of his hand and said:

"I'm a wandering medical practitioner. The old man said his son was sick and hoped that we could treat him."

The strong man immediately said angrily: "I told you this is the Huang family's farm, get out!"

Su Ze was no longer polite, and kicked the strong man to the ground. Two Changning Wei Xiangyong stepped forward and locked him tightly. Su Ze said:

"The doctor is benevolent, how can he die when he is sick?"

The two Xiangyong immediately tied up the strong man, gagged his mouth and tied him to the wooden stake beside the bridge.

Su Ze said a few words to the old man in She language, and the old man showed a fearful expression, but soon he firmly pulled the cow, and led Su Ze and his party to the distant smoke.

"Uncle, do you want to call someone over?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "I just asked. There are only five supervisors in the Huang's village, and one has been tied up. The rest are tenants of the Huang's family. There is no danger."

Fang Aizhu just closed his mouth and followed, and the group came to Huang's farm just like that.

Su Ze looked at the farmland and saw the swamp that was being eaten away not far away. Su Ze sneered.

"The Huang family violated the imperial court's prohibition to open up the mountains, and even built such a large village in the mountains. It is really daring."

Fang Aizhu also said with emotion: "This is much bigger than our Fang family's Zhuangzi."

There was even a small village formed in the mountains, and the cooking smoke that Su Ze saw from a distance rose from this village.

It's just that these villages are dilapidated thatched cottages, and all Su Ze saw were some sallow and emaciated farmers.

The old Sheman took Su Ze to a thatched hut on the far side. Su Ze smelled the smell of herbs in the room. He opened the door and saw a middle-aged man lying on the haystack.

I only saw that the middle-aged man's feet were swollen badly, and he could smell a strong smell of corruption.

Su Ze walked over, took the pulse of the middle-aged man, and checked his body. It was indeed beriberi.

Su Ze said to Fang Aizhu: "Then come out with these herbs, and then take out the silver needles and willow essence."

Fang Aizhu unpacked the bag, handed several medicinal materials to Su Ze, and took out another porcelain bottle.

Su Ze asked the old She for a basin of water, opened the porcelain bottle and dissolved the powder inside, and gave it to the middle-aged man lying on the bed.

Immediately afterwards, he crushed the herbal medicine, and then took out a silver needle to puncture the abscess on the middle-aged man's foot. After the pus was drained, he wrapped the wound with the herbal medicine.

The complexion of the middle-aged man gradually improved, and the expression on his face relaxed a little.

The old She immediately knelt down to thank Su Ze.

At this time, Su Ze's movement had already attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and soon someone rushed in and kowtowed to Su Ze:

"I beg the divine doctor to save my child!"

Su Ze lifted his medicine box and said, "Go, go to her house."

In half a day, Su Ze ran to five families and gained a full 20 points of experience in medical skills.

[Medicine, Lv4, 320/400]

And the people in this village are about to confess Su Ze.

"Are you victims of the famine in Jiangxi?"

Su Ze asked the woman who had just pulled him to treat her son.

The woman nodded and said in a crying voice: "Our village is troubled by Luojiao. Our family of five fled from Jiangxi to the south. My parents-in-law died of starvation on the way, and my wife also died. Only I brought my son here. He became a tenant of the Huang family."

"Are you hermits?"

The woman nodded and said, "The whole Zhuangzi is a hermit."

Hermit households are black households without status, including women who flee from famine, and old She people who are born in the mountains.

"How about the ground rent?"

The woman lowered her head and said, "What kind of land rent is there? The Huang family only leaves some rations for us, and the rest of the crops have to be handed over."

Several Xiangyongs from Changning Guard became indignant, but Su Ze knew that this was a normal situation.

Warm and affectionate landlords only exist in fictional literature. Those tenant farmers outside the city who are locals can receive 70% to 80% of the rent, not to mention that these tenants are all black households without status.

People like them don't even have the qualifications to report to the county government, and the She people even dare not enter Nanping City.

If they don't exploit them, who will they exploit?

"We should go."

Su Ze stood up and was about to leave with his men when he saw four strong men rushing over.

"stop!"

The four held swords, blocked the road at the entrance of the village, and shouted at Su Ze:

"Who are you! You actually trespassed on Mr. Huang's estate!"

Xiangyong of Changningwei also drew his weapon, and the four people on the opposite side immediately took two steps back.

They were also tenants of the Huang family, but they were used to showing off in the Zhuangzi before, and when they saw that the other side was really trying their best, they immediately became a little scared.

Su Ze walked forward with a smile and said, "I am a doctor from Youfang. The doctor is kind-hearted. I have treated the villagers. I am leaving now."

After speaking, Su Ze carried the medicine box on his back, and the four strong men got up the steps, and quickly put away their weapons to get out of the way.

A few days later, Su Ze returned to Nanping County, and he handed over a report to the county government.

Bai Zhixian frowned and looked at Su Ze's report.

Su Ze talked eloquently: "These Zhuangzi in Jiufeng Mountain all use hermit households. This is the small tax they paid when they were young."

"My lord, the swamps reclaimed by these Zhuangzi are actually the reservoirs of the Minjiang River."

"When the water level of the Minjiang River rises, these swamps and depressions can store the excess water of the Minjiang River, so that the downstream will not flood. However, these families cast dams privately and enclosed the land in Jiufeng Mountain, preventing the swamps and depressions from storing water. function, the Minjiang River has become more and more flooded in recent years.”

Hearing this, Bai Zhixian also frowned. He put down the report and asked:

"What is Mr. Tao going to do?"

Su Ze said: "Eunuch Tao is going to buy their maps according to the number of acres on the Bijia Pavilion."

Of course, Baizhi County knows that there are not enough acres of land registered in Bijia Pavilion of the county government, so he frowned and said:

"I'm afraid it will spark a popular uprising."

"Eunuch Tao is following the order of the court."

Baizhi County thought about it, and he was going to be transferred from Nanping anyway, so he simply sold Tao Gonggong a favor.

He said: "Since this is the case, if you encounter a lawsuit, the county government will first mediate according to the regulations. I will let the execution room look at it and delay the matter."

Su Ze said immediately: "Thank you, sir!"

When Su Ze came out of the county office, he immediately found Eunuch Tao.

"Tao Dang, the auspicious time has come, and we can start working."

"Xie Yuanlang, then start working!"

Eunuch Tao summoned the river-managers recruited from all counties of Yanping Prefecture together, and his subordinates brought up several large boxes. When the boxes were opened to reveal the golden Sanxian coins inside, the eyes of these men gleamed.

Eunuch Tao waved his hand and said, "This is last month's monthly money, and the miscellaneous family keeps what they say."

"This is the new Three Immortals coin minted by the imperial court. The style was approved by His Majesty, and it will be promoted in Fujian!"

Hearing the emperor, these civilian husbands immediately held the copper coins in their hands even tighter.

"Take a day off today, and go to Jiufeng Mountain tomorrow!"

Many civilian husbands rushed away. They thought that the government would refuse to pay the money, but they didn't expect that Eunuch Tao would actually pay the money!

This new coin is bright yellow, and at first glance it is much more valuable than Song coins!

These joyous folk rushed to the streets, and the latest "Surprise" was also printed.

The front page of this issue is not local news, but a large front and back of the Three Immortals coin.

In addition to the pattern and value of the new coin, "Surprise" also published the full text of the purpose of promoting the three immortal coins in Fujian, and the children of the Nanping Nursing Home sent the newspaper all over the city immediately.

The materials are good, the weight is sufficient, and the well-printed new coins circulated in the city almost immediately.

These days, Nanping has been short of money for a long time, and many transactions have degenerated to the stage of bartering. This new batch of money just meets the needs of transactions.

Small traders also found that the new money of "Dang Ten" and "Dang Twenty" is more convenient to use than the previous strings of Song money, and it is safer to stuff the new money into clothes. Receive new money.

When these folk husbands spent all their money and went to Jiufeng Mountain with hoes and shovels.

In Yanping Mansion Yamen, Zhang Sijing stared at the three immortal coins on the table, his eyes were full of resentment.

"You can't make this coin?"

Huang Shixing said with sweat on his forehead, "It can't be made."

Zhang Tuiguan looked at these new coins, Jiajing Tongbao was clearly engraved on the front, and the fairy island on the back was also lifelike. He quickly understood that this was not something that Huang Shixing and the others could make.

"The eunuchs are harming the country! You actually use this kind of coin to confuse your majesty! What else is it called the Three Immortals coin!"

Zhang Tuiguan patted the table, and a three-celestial coin jumped up. He looked at Huang Shixing and asked:

"Where's the Song money we collected?"

Huang Shixing lowered his head and said, "Song money is still falling."

With the new currency, who would like to use it conveniently, they have to carry a large string of Song money every time.

Moreover, the Song coins that were originally on the market were hoarded by these big families, and there was almost no pressure for new money to flow into the market, and even the currency value of the "Dang Ten" coins exceeded ten Song coins.

More importantly, these big families in Yanping Mansion have hoarded a lot of Song money, and the business in Nanping is just like this. There is no place to spend so much money.

Zhang Sijing said with a ferocious expression: "That is to say, the old money can't be spent, and the new money can't be minted, so what should we do with the Song money we collected?"

Huang Shixing stammered, "This may be used in other counties."

Zhang Sijing said: "The eunuch Tao mints coins in the whole province, do you think they will be issued in Nanping? You can use them when you transport them to other counties?"

Huang Shixing's face was pale. In order to make a fortune, the Huang family exchanged all the silver for Song money, including the office funds of the government office that Zhang Sijing embezzled.

"Fool! Go find a craftsman! Find the best craftsman in town! Find a way to mint new coins!"

Huang Shixing returned to his house in the city in a daze, and the family manager reported to him again.

"What! Eunuch Tao brought people up to Mount Wufeng! Want to redeem our Zhuangzi!?"

Huang Shixing hurriedly led his family up the mountain, only to see Eunuch Tao sitting on the palanquin, and the little eunuch holding a parasol, all looking like eunuchs.

Su Ze stood behind him, and hundreds of young and strong men from Zhihe stood neatly in front of the farm.

The strong men in Huang's Huzhuang were all trembling with fright.

But when Huang Shixing looked at the dozen or so servants behind him, all the aura he had just now was gone.

Eunuch Tao sat on the palanquin, feeling refreshed and comfortable. What is power? Even the governor of Dongchang doesn't have such power as himself, does he?

There are only a few people in his East Factory!

The only regret is that the opponent is too weak, and the one in front of him is just a squire, and he is still a scholar who has not been admitted to Juren.
