541 There is good news
"I'm from Duke Xingguo's Mansion!"
When I heard this, the sound of gasping in the surrounding area immediately sounded.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's sect. The meaning of this sentence is to watch over the prime minister's sect, and they are equivalent to the seventh-rank official.
At present, Duke Xingguo’s power is much greater than that of any prime minister, and the person in front of him is actually the manager of Duke Xingguo’s mansion!
Tsk tsk, if it weren't for what he said, I really couldn't tell that the kind old man in front of me was actually the manager of Duke Xingguo's Mansion!
Naturally, they didn't know that the old man was actually Lan Tianbao's father. He almost starved to death three years ago and was taken in by Duke Xingguo. He was ordered by Duke Xingguo. He was grateful and kept his duties conscientiously, and did not dare to be arrogant at all.
It was also because he was good at performing, so Zhang Mingwei gave him the matter outside the mansion to take care of. For example, when Emperor Chongzhen gave him the thirty shops that were searched from the former Sili Supervisor Wang Dehua as a meeting gift, he asked him to be the chief manager.
However, he came here to exchange coins at this time and came here under the order of Duke Xingguo.
At this time, I knew the identity of the old man in front of me. For a moment, the people around me didn't dare to talk nonsense, and many people even stepped back a little.
Lan Tianbao's father didn't care about this, but just ordered the silver and copper coins he brought to exchange.
From beginning to end, he did not use his status to do things at all. He looked kind and was no different from an ordinary old man.
Seeing him like this, finally, the onlookers approached a little closer.
They saw clearly the copper coins that were counted clearly and entered the counter, and then gave new coins that were the same as copper coins, which were divided into three categories: gold, silver and copper, and delivered to the counter.
Lantianbao's father's side, the gold coins were exchanged for a small amount, because ordinary transactions rarely use gold coins. In fact, there are not many silver coins, so the most of them are naturally copper coins.
The onlookers were curious, and the old man who had just spoken to Lan Tianbao's father, then he smiled and said to Lan Tianbao's father: "Look at the newly issued coins by the imperial court, it seems that they are not like the Daming Baochao?"
After hearing this, Lan Tianbao's father smiled and took out some copper coins and handed them to him, and said, "That's for sure. Look, the court has put a lot of thought on this new coin, and it is absolutely impossible for a Daming Baochao."
Speaking of this, he smiled proudly and said, "My master and savage god have spent a lot of effort on this coin. How could this coin be like the Daming Baochao!"
The old man nodded repeatedly while paying more attention to the copper coins in his hand and looking at the copper coins.
The other people who were watching also surrounded and looked at each other.
Seeing this scene, Lan Tianbao's father introduced: "The newly issued coins of the imperial court this time are divided into three categories: gold, silver and copper, and the styles are the same, but the materials are different. The corresponding proportions are all noticed."
When the onlookers saw it, they nodded and agreed. No matter whether it was right or not, they could not question the manager of Duke Xingguo’s mansion.
When the servant loaded all the coins he exchanged into the carriage, the old man who took the money had the eyesight and quickly returned the coins respectfully. At the same time, he smiled and said, "This coins are really exquisite, they must be a good thing!"
Lan Tianbao's father took the coin and smiled proudly, "This kind of coin is also created by my master's scientific knowledge. Except for the court, other families cannot have such coin."
After saying that, he turned around and left. However, when he was holding the carriage, he remembered something and turned to the group of onlookers and said, "My master said in private that if this kind of coins is preserved and preserved for future generations, it is a treasure. The first batch will be the more valuable it is!"
After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and got on the carriage and left.
Looking at the back of the carriage, there were antiques in the crowd, and suddenly spoke, "Yes, the issuance of new coins this time is definitely a big deal. Alas, I won't say it anymore, I have to go home quickly!"
Seeing this situation, someone didn't understand and quickly called him to ask about the situation, but the man quickly left.
However, some people in the crowd replied: "It's worth mentioning that Duke Xingguo said this, and there is still something wrong! If I don't say it, I have to go home quickly."
When he heard this, the people who had some spare money at home immediately dispersed.
Needless to say, we have to get some money to exchange for new coins. Anyway, it’s all spare money, so let it go. What if the market really rises?
It’s true that the coin has indeed risen, but it’s not because of antiques, but other reasons. I won’t mention it here for now, but I can’t escape economic laws.
Although it was a demonstration role at the Duke Xingguo Mansion, it did drive some people to exchange new coins on a small scale. However, more people are still waiting and watching.
Zhang Mingwei was not worried at all about this. As long as the court recognizes the value of the new coin and can be recycled, such as collecting the new coin when collecting taxes, it can reassure the people. Over time, there are many benefits to the new coin, and it goes without saying that the people will naturally use the new coin.
However, there are still many things to deal with about the Finance Department, the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty and the New Coins. Zhang Mingwei has been busy with this and has become a dog.
……………………
At the same time, after the New Year, Jianlu also started to get busy.
Their busyness is passive, and it is not the kind of busyness that is painful and happy.
The heavy snow around the Chinese New Year is a good omen of auspicious snow that indicates a good harvest in the Central Plains, but for the grassland people, it is called a white disaster.
The heavy snow at the end of the 17th year of Chongzhen caused many livestock from the tribes on the grassland to freeze to death.
If they had followed Jianlu into the pass in the 16th year of Chongzhen in the original history, their materials would be more sufficient and would have been able to pass.
However, because of Zhang Mingwei's time travel, he adjusted his strategy against Liao in time, so that he nailed Jianlu firmly to the land of Liaodong, and he did not enter the pass at all.
As a result, after the bleak disaster at the end of the 17th year of Chongzhen, the tribes on the grassland could no longer withstand it, and almost sent envoys to Shengjing at the same time.
The purpose is nothing more than one. They are Jianlu’s younger brother. If the younger brother is hungry and cannot survive, the elder brother must solve it, right?
Mongolian envoys from all the way to Shengjing, and each tribe was filled with a lot of people, including the Korqin tribe, Balin, Aohan tribes and other tribes, which made Shengjing lively.
However, for this situation, the Qing Dynasty regent Daishan and Dorgon both had headaches.
I was drinking cold water and tied my belt tightly to live. How could I give these little brothers the surplus food!
However, both Dorgon and Daishan knew very well that if the grassland was suffering from a vacancies, they had to deal with it. Otherwise, the power of the Qing Dynasty would be weaker under the utmost tyranny.
If it were in previous years, then I would say nothing, wave my hand and go and eat this big dog owner, Mingguo.
However, in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army on Shanhaiguan cannot tighten, and cannot even siege the city and attack aid, because there is no city to siege. Although there is also a Zhongzuo Suo, which was occupied by the Ming army outside Shanhaiguan, it is too close to Shanhaiguan and cannot attack aid, and it is easy to be attacked on both sides.
Along the Great Wall, the Ming army also refused to defend the city and did not have any chance.
Even when talking about the Ming army along the Great Wall, the closest Ao Han army complained, saying that it was not ordered by the Qing emperor to test the defense of the Ming army along the Great Wall. As a result, the Tumote army was destroyed by the Ming army's revenge.
In the Qing Dynasty, it seemed that this matter had never happened. What if the Ming army came to attack the Aohan tribe every time?
Dorgon was a little helpless and explained: "The Tumote tribe was too far from Liaodong. When Liaodong learned the news, it was too late. The Tumote tribe had already been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty!"
Speaking of this, he looked at the envoy of the Aohan tribe and said with some words: "Actually, the grassland is so big, I can't understand. Even if I can't defeat the Ming army, wouldn't I run away? The Tumote tribe is so stupid that I can't even blame others, right? At least if they were there, the Qing Dynasty would definitely send troops to help them revenge!"
The implication is that this is really happening, and your Aohan tribe can escape, and then the Qing Dynasty will come to help you. Is this request not too much?
Although this verbal battle was won, the most critical problem is still in front of you and cannot be solved!
As for the surrounding situation, the big dog owner, Minggou, cannot eat it and wants to find another food, so the only one is North Korea.
In fact, North Korea was already almost harmed by Jianluo at this time, and it was a useless kind. If you don’t do it well, it will be more than worth the loss.
However, with the development of the situation, even if you want to eat this bad rib, there will be problems.
The Ming Dynasty's cavalry in Dongjiang Town has increased to about 6,000, and this power alone is a big deal. If you want to go to North Korea to get some food, you must first deal with the Ming army in Dongjiang Town!
But the Ming army in Dongjiang Town is really easy to deal with, so we will deal with it early in the morning!
A headache, it's really a headache!
Dorgon and Daishan discussed for several days, but there was no good idea.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, we can only find a way from North Korea.
In desperation, Dorgon asked the smart Han officials to come up with ideas. He was very sure of this. If he could come up with ideas, there would definitely be only these Han officials.
However, at least the Han officials in Shengjing, including Fan Wencheng, who had always had a bad idea, had no good idea.
When Dorgon saw this, he asked the fast horse to run to Zhenjiang Fort and asked the former Ming Dynasty senior official Hong Chengchou to see what he had.
As for those Mongolian envoys, he could only avoid them for the time being. There was a way or there was no way to talk about it.
On this day, the fast horse sent to Zhenjiang Fort finally came back.
Chapter completed!
