When Chang Zhong and Lu Hua heard this, they were happy and nodded in agreement.
"Last time, Manman brought Ace back. They came with a marriage certificate. At that time, I wanted to discuss the wedding date with them." Lu Hua said happily.
"That's great, let's discuss it. This is not only a family matter, but also a national matter." Uncle Da said seriously.
Regardless of whether Fu Manman has the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard in the future, he must help A Ce occupy the position of the main palace.
"That's right, this is a state matter, we have to discuss it first," Lu Hua said.
"Are we getting married? Or married?" Chang Zhong asked.
"Our family is full of queens, so we must marry them," Luhua said.
Uncle Da retorted, "This is against the rules."
"Uncle Da, this Xizhou is now the territory of the Star-Moon Kingdom, and this must be done according to the rules of the Star-Moon Kingdom." Luhua smiled with a knife hidden in her face.
Uncle Da looked embarrassed, "It's okay to do it your way, but it must be done according to the etiquette of the palace. The matchmaker is getting married and it is announced to the world."
"That's necessary." Lu Hua agreed readily.
Uncle Da is very satisfied with this, great!
When the three of them were chatting happily, Helian Jingce and Fu Manman came over together.
Two people sit at this table.
Uncle Da frowned when he saw Helian Jingce, "Why so fast?"
...Helian Jingce was a little confused as to why he could see the disgust in Uncle Da's eyes.
Come down for dinner soon, isn't he happy anymore?
Fu Manman just sat down and picked up the water glass. When she heard Uncle Da's words, she put it down again for fear of choking. Why! She understood instantly that the old thing actually meant them.
"What are you talking about?" Fu Manman found a topic to cover up his embarrassment.
Lu Hua smiled and said: "We are talking about your marriage to A Ce!"
When Helian Jingce heard this, he smiled slightly and gave Uncle Da a good look.
Fu Manman coughed lightly and said: "This matter is only a matter of time. According to the law of the stars and the moon, you must be over eighteen before you can get married."
One sentence instantly extinguished the enthusiasm of several people.
Uncle Da was dumbfounded, "Who decided this? It's so unreasonable. She's going to be an old girl at the age of eighteen, and even young men can't hold it in!"
"Uncle Da, this is what I decided." Fu Manman looked at Uncle Da and smiled.
Uncle Da laughed several times and said, "Very good, this rule is very good."
After lunch, it is time for free activities in the afternoon. According to the procedure, this afternoon officials from Xingyue City will take officials from Xizhou out incognito and take them to see the lives of the people in Xingyue City.
The task of accompanying Helian Jingce was fully paid.
Helian Jingce was particularly happy because he finally had the opportunity to be alone with Manman. They both changed into light clothes and went out hand in hand.
When we went to the street, naturally we just walked around and ate.
The two of them walked to a shop selling red bean cakes, "This is delicious, An An also likes it."
After paying a lot of money, I forgot to bring any money.
There is none in her space either.
Helian Jingce took out the money and asked Fu Manman: "Can I use this?"
"It can't be used." Fu Manman shook his head.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the bank. I'll help you change some money." Fu Manman took him to the bank.
At this moment, all Xizhou officials have arrived at the bank, and they are all here to exchange money.
There are other people doing business in the bank. Each person has a window and chairs to sit on. This is the first time I have seen this way of doing business.
They saw someone taking out a lot of paper from a bag and handing it to the little girl at the counter.
Everyone gathered around curiously.
The people who were saving money suddenly found a circle of people standing behind them. They clutched their banknotes in fear, "What are you doing? Security, someone is trying to steal money."
"Misunderstanding, they are just here for a visit." The bank manager immediately came forward to explain and explained to the Xizhou officials what this was for.
"What's written on it?" Uncle Da found that there was a blackboard in the bank with a lot of words written on it, but he only recognized the numbers, and you didn't recognize the others.
Fortunately, I learned a lot from watching them learn numbers.
"These are the interest rates written by the bank. This one says that the interest rate on deposits is 3% for one year and 4% for two years..." the manager explained.
Uncle Tai is engaged in economics. When he saw this interest rate, he was excited and said, "This interest rate is not low."
Some generals didn't understand and came up to ask about interest rates.
The manager also introduced the bank's other businesses, including depositing money, withdrawing money, and lending. Recently, the bank is also preparing to sell stocks.
These novel things attracted my uncle. There are also banks in Xizhou, but they are jointly run by several major merchants in the city to serve merchants.
People are more willing to keep their money at home and dig holes to hide it.
Private loan sharking is compounding interest and has no bottom line.
And the banks here also lend, and the interest rates are so low, and some even give discounts, which is really for the benefit of the people.
It's just that he didn't understand this stock very well. After talking to the manager, he finally understood. It turns out that this stock is for crowdfunding of potential merchants, so that the merchants can expand production and the people can benefit from it.
This fantastic idea is really eye-opening.
"Come on, we're waiting in line to change money." Someone greeted.
Xizhou is lagging behind in terms of economy and materials, but there are gold mines, so the officials are not short of money and spend their salaries one by one.
There are those who take out gold, those who take out silver, and those who take out silver notes.
Everyone can't wait to exchange some of the monthly coins. Only with the monthly coins can they go shopping in the city.
"Sorry, we don't accept cash checks here." The lady at the counter refused Uncle Da's cash check.
Uncle Da was dumbfounded. When he came out this time, he brought two thousand taels of banknotes with him!
"Go, go, go...I'll do it." Uncle Tai drove Uncle Da away and happily took out two big golden lumps.
There is a scale at the counter, one for weight.
"Two pieces of gold total one hundred and fifty grams. The current price of gold in the bank is eight yuan per gram." The lady at the counter was talking with her abacus, and she quickly calculated the price. The total was one thousand two hundred.
dollars.
After a while, a stack of money was delivered to Uncle Tai's hand.
Uncle Tai got the money and touched the money in surprise. It was made of paper, but it was very hard and uneven to the touch. There were twelve red ones.
"Old Liang, lend me some money to spend." Uncle Da came forward and borrowed money from Taishu.
Uncle Tai didn't want to do it anymore. He used to regard money as dirt, but now he suddenly felt the beauty of money.
His grandson is still in the city, and he has to leave some money for him.
If you go shopping on the street for a while, you will know how the prices are here!
Fu Manman came over with Helian Jingce and saw everyone queuing up to exchange money. Those who had exchanged money were discussing the money. Some people even asked how to save money.
Everyone sighed when they heard that they needed to have a household registration in Xingyue City to open an account and save money.
