Zhao Song was very angry, "You are using strong words! Am I objecting to you casting money now? I am asking why you are casting new money instead of the same old money as the imperial court!"
Zhao Ming put the responsibility on Zhao Hanzhang, "When my son found out, the new money had already been minted. I heard that it was the result of a discussion among Luoyang people."
He said: "There is no way to change it at this time. The new money has been minted and should be circulating in Luoyang now."
Zhao Song was so angry that he kicked his son out and decided not to go to Luoyang.
Zhao Ming was satisfied and turned around to see Zhao Hu with the copper coin.
Contrary to Zhao Song, although Zhao Hu came to Chen County, he did not want to go to Luoyang.
In fact, he didn't even want to come to Chen County. If he hadn't been forced by Zhao Song, he wouldn't have run so far.
Zhao Hu is an old man who loves to enjoy himself, which does not include traveling.
Unlike his son who has no home and likes to travel and study everywhere, Zhao Hu likes to stay in one place and let the good things in the world come to accommodate him.
At most, he wanders around various counties in Runan County. His main purpose is to collect rent, and occasionally find a few like-minded friends to show off and compare their wealth.
He doesn't even like to form a caravan, he just likes to hold the goods in his hands and wait for the merchants to come and purchase goods with him. It would be better if he just sits and collects the money.
Therefore, he has a cloth shop and a porcelain workshop in his name, but no caravan.
Oh, after taking over the business, the fleet of people delivering goods does not count.
So he just came to Chen County for a stroll, opened a few shops, made arrangements with the stewards, and then returned to Xiping. Hum, if Zhao Song hadn't begged him, he wouldn't even have come to Chen County.
Thinking like this, Zhao Hu did not waste any time. As soon as he arrived at the place, he called the steward and said, "Tell the steward of the store in Chen County to come see me tomorrow with the account books."
When Zhao Hanzhang took over as governor, he immediately asked his steward to come to Chen County to find a shop to open a shop. Now he has recovered his capital and even made a small profit.
The price of shops in Chen County has increased a lot, but Zhao Hu still felt that it was not enough, so he decided to buy a few more shops.
Zhao Hanzhang has even expanded his territory to Luoyang. With her at the front, Yuzhou will be safer. As long as Yuzhou is safe, housing prices will rise and business activities will increase.
As for Luoyang, Zhao Hu doesn't like it for the time being.
Although it was once the capital and the most prosperous place in the Jin Dynasty, the emperor moved away. I heard that all the aristocratic families in the capital fled with the King of Donghai and the emperor.
If Zhao Hanzhang hadn't led his troops to force back some people, Luoyang's remaining population would have been less than 20,000.
What can 20,000 people do? They are not even as good as Xiping County.
Zhao Hu looked down upon him.
Moreover, Luoyang is too dangerous. The Huns are always going south. If he builds a shop and a house there, all his assets will be lost in the event of a war.
Not only the house and shop, but also the goods and people inside... Just thinking that he would lose so much money made him feel distressed.
So he didn't want to go.
Zhao Hu told the steward, "Go and inquire about the dental shop in the city. Tomorrow, the dental shop's clerk, no, steward, ask them to bring the drawings. I want to choose the shop and the house."
The steward agreed one by one, and when the master and servant wanted to discuss it further, the servant informed that Zhao Ming was here.
The steward stopped talking. When he saw Zhao Ming coming in, he bowed to him and left.
Zhao Hu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, with a serious look on his face.
If your relatives and friends come to seek refuge in the future, why don't you let them live in your county magistrate's mansion?"
Zhao Hu did not want to live with Zhao Song and his son at all. He had no freedom at all and was subject to a lot of control.
However, Zhao Ming arranged accommodation according to the distance between relatives. Those who were close to him were arranged to live in the county governor's mansion, while those who were more distant were rented houses.
Naturally, Zhao Hu didn't want to live in a rented house. The yard he rented was lacking everything, so he didn't want to live there.
He wanted to live in Zhao Ming's villa or his own villa, but unfortunately he didn't buy it.
In order to make himself comfortable, Zhao Hu planned to buy a private hospital in Chen County, but this did not prevent him from teaching Zhao Ming a lesson.
Zhao Ming directly ignored his complaints and asked: "Uncle Qi, Sanniang invites you to go to Luoyang..."
Before Zhao Ming could finish his words, Zhao Hu said directly: "I won't go."
He said: "If your father hadn't urged me hard, I wouldn't have even wanted to come to Chen County. It's so hot now, how can it be so easy to go out?"
Zhao Ming paused and then said: "Zicheng and Zheng'er are both in Luoyang..."
Zhao Hu sighed and said: "Just be here, I can't control him, so he can listen to what your father says to you. It's okay if I don't go to Luoyang. If I go, I'll still quarrel every day."
Zhao Ming felt that what he said was right.
But he still had to go.
Zhao Ming handed him the copper coin.
Zhao Hu only glanced at it and said disgustedly: "If you want to give me money, you should give me more money. What's the point of only giving me a copper plate?"
Zhao Ming said quietly: "Uncle Qi has overthought it. This is not for you, and I don't have much on hand. Even if I want to give it to you, it will be given to me by Sanniang, not me."
Zhao Hu frowned, took the money and glanced at it, "Then show me this..." His eyes widened instantly and his back straightened, "This, this, this, what is this?"
"This is new money," Zhao Ming asked, "What does uncle think?"
What does he feel like?
Zhao Hu clenched the money in his hand, swallowed nervously, and asked, "Who cast this?"
"Sanniang."
"I knew it -" Zhao Hu's voice was high-pitched, then lowered in an instant. She glanced out the door guiltily, lowered her voice and whispered, "What is she going to do?"
He looked at Zhao Ming with a suspicious look on his face, "You have always been upright, when did you have such thoughts?"
Zhao Ming was in a complicated mood, and after a while he said: "Uncle, I think too much. This is just a new coin. Because there is less money in Yuzhou and Luoyang, this new coin was minted."
He said: "You should know how much money there is in Yuzhou now. Many people have no money, so they can only barter for buying and selling things. In the past few times, when we collected refugees and provided relief, the yamen simply counted them because they had no money.
They exchanged some cloth and grain, and this time the new money will be exchanged for it, not only in places far away, but also in Yuzhou."
"What about the old money?" Zhao Hu asked anxiously, "You don't need it anymore?"
"It's the same as usual, but considering that other states and counties may not be able to accept the new money, the Yamen will try to recover as much old money as possible to replace it with merchants traveling out of Henan." Zhao Ming said with an unclear expression: "I heard Sanniang say,
In order to get more old money, Luoyang may trade the old money for the new one at a one-to-one ratio."
Zhao Hu complained: "Why compare one to one? Since the old money has the same use, I won't exchange it."
Zhao Ming said: "You know that my father is good to Sanniang, and he will definitely mention this matter to the clan. If we, the Zhao family, don't support such a big thing as new money, it will be even more difficult for her."
