Chapter 249

"Mom, it's been so long. When do you think brother Xiaoyu will be able to call back?"

In the garden pavilion of the Wu family's mansion in Heishi Town, Li Waner held her chin in both hands and looked at her mother who was embroidery with a lost face.

"My mother doesn't know!" Mrs. Li sighed lightly when she saw that her daughter had lost her soul all day.

In fact, the missing in her heart is no less than her daughter, but she doesn't dare to show it.

"Brother Xiaoyu is also true. He doesn't come to Nanyang to see us. Mom, do you think brother Xiaoyu has forgotten us?"

Li Waner tooted her mouth, but she was nervous again at the end, and her eyes were slightly red.

When Mrs. Li heard the speech, her face changed and her hands shook. The embroidery needle accidentally poked blood out of her hands, and then she shook her head firmly:

"No, maybe the childe is too busy. According to the wind, the childe has laid down Guanghua County, and Gucheng is not far away. As long as we lay down Gucheng, we can see the childe then."

"Well, how long will it take? Mom, why don't we beat down Gucheng ourselves? So you can go to see brother Xiaoyu. "

"Nonsense, we only have so many people. We don't have enough self-protection. Where can we have the energy to fight Gucheng again?"

After Xiao Xinru finished, she put the embroidery on the table. Obviously, her daughter didn't want to embroider. She looked at the north in a daze.

Liu Ruolan on one side sighed and sighed all day. He was crazy to miss the Xiaohua king. He didn't understand in his heart. What's good about the Xiaohua king?

Isn't life more secure and comfortable without him? However, I miss my sister a little.

At this time, Wang can hurried over.

"Madam, it's a bad thing. Just now Qin Feng heard that Yang Sichang is gathering troops. It seems that he is ready to fight us."

"We didn't provoke anyone. Why did we come to beat us again?"

Xiao Xinru frowned when she heard the speech, but there was not much panic. Over the past year, the officers and soldiers have come several times and are used to it.

"Madam, don't be careless. The situation is different this time. The king's army is eyeing Nanyang and may send troops south at any time. Yang Sichang is not a mediocre. He will certainly pull out our nail before the king goes south to prevent our internal and external cooperation. Therefore, he will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress this time."

Seeing that she was still in the mood to embroider, Wang can quickly explained with a dignified face.

Wang can, who had been staying in Nanzhang county since Qin Huan went north to fight Tartars and issued a warning, did not hesitate to come.

In his opinion, instead of dying to go to Kaifeng, he might as well give up the distance and seek the near and directly go to Mrs. Li. He doesn't believe in this lady. He is really just the steward of the Hua king.

Since Wang can defected, more than a dozen scholars have come to defecte. Xiao Xinru is also happy to be at leisure. She gives Wang can all the chores in the town, but she focuses her energy on teaching her daughter and those teenagers.

The small Blackstone town is really managed by Wang can and a dozen poor scholars. After all, all the landlords in the town are dead, so they will solve the disputes among the people in each village on weekdays.

At Wang can's suggestion, another small fort was built at the exit of the East Valley. Walls were built on the other three trails and troops were stationed. Everyone was relieved to move to the town and the surrounding villages.

If Xiao Xinru hadn't just wanted to keep this one-third of an acre for Qin Huan and teach young people to farm, Wang can, Qin Shuang, Qin Feng and others would have beaten Gucheng or Baokang long ago, and there were far more soldiers and horses, which would have developed to the scale of 3000 people today.

Xiao Xinru didn't dare to be careless when he saw him say so. He quickly got up and went to the hall. At the same time, he asked people above the captain to discuss the matter.

Although the number of young soldiers has reached 2000 and there are 1000 young soldiers, the titles of Qin Shuang, Qin Wen and others are still the original captain. After all, the lady Xiao Xinru is also in command.

There was no way. Xiao Xinru was too conservative or too obedient to Qin Huan's words. No matter how they advised him, he just didn't want to break the rules set by Qin Huan.

This made three ambitious teenagers surnamed Qin and a group of literati crazy, but they didn't dare to disobey her words, let alone hold back.

In the hall, the ambitious people had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Xiao Xinru coming, they all saluted quickly.

"Hasn't the wind come back?" Xiao Xinru saw that Qin Feng was gone and immediately looked at Qin Shuang.

"Madam, brother Feng is still monitoring the movements of officers and soldiers in Xiangyang."

Qin Shuang quickly replied.

After Xiao Xinru sat down, Wang cancai said, "madam, the officers and soldiers are fierce this time. I'm afraid we can't resist it alone. In the opinion of our subordinates, we'd better send someone to Nanyang to inform King Hua!"

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded frequently. In fact, according to their current strength, it should not be difficult to block the officers and soldiers, but the story of King Hua claiming to be king and official in Nanyang Kaifu has long been spread. They really don't want to continue doing nothing under the lady's hand, so they all want to welcome King Hua to Xiangyang as soon as possible.

"That's all I can do." Xiao Xinru finally had to nod and planned to send Qin Wen.

In fact, she doesn't want to cause trouble for the young master. She's afraid of disrupting the deployment of the young master, because she knows when the young master will go south to Xiangyang.

……

Qin Huan did not know that someone was missing him every day.

After more than 50 ladies and servant girls learned Arabic numerals, they were asked to go to each county with Yuanbao banknotes, and the branches that had already been selected were opened for business.

The head office was established as early as three days ago. It is in a mansion in Nanyang city. The head office is temporarily not open for business and is specially responsible for managing all branches. Therefore, another branch has been established in Nanyang city.

At the moment, the big shopkeeper Zhang Yan, with 20 wives and 60 servant girls, is counting Yuanbao notes in the yard.

Boxes of white ingots, neat millions of Liang, were carried into the newly built silver Treasury in the backyard.

Although there were only two boxes of banknotes, there were two million Liang, which was only half of them, and the other half was taken away by more than thirty ladies.

Qin Huan made almost all the silver into five Liang's ingots, and gave two million Liang to Zhang Yan as starting capital, while only three million liang of paper money was printed for the time being.

At the same time, it also issued orders and notices to all counties, that is, after five days, no merchant or individual can refuse treasure money. Violators will be fined ten times and informants will be rewarded half.

After receiving the treasure note, the merchant can take the treasure note to the bank where he is located to exchange the treasure.

Everyone can also take copper money and silver coins to exchange for treasure notes, but they can't exchange for Yuanbao directly. Only treasure notes can exchange for Yuanbao, and Yuanbao can also exchange for treasure notes.

Banks do not accept deposits or lend money for the time being. They are only responsible for the exchange business. There is no handling charge for the exchange of copper money and broken silver into treasure notes. For the exchange of treasure notes into Yuan Bao, a fee of ten Wen is charged at a time.

Finally, it is stipulated that local Jimin commercial banks only accept treasure notes, and no other gold, silver and copper money, not even Yuanbao.
