7067. Chapter 7067 There are no patterns on both sides
After all, for someone as handsome and eye-catching as Gong Zihua, it would be difficult for others not to notice him.
"Your method is good," Gong Zihua poured cold water, "but let me tell you, we are now in a financial crisis, and I don't have much money left."
"Not much more?"
Gong Zihua took out a money bag from his body and threw it to her: "This is my last remaining savings, it's up to you."
Jing Jiaren opened the purse and saw two gold coins: "Why are there only this few left?"
Gong Zihua was used to spending money lavishly in the past, but he didn't adapt to his current predicament. Yesterday he threw most of his money away when he went shopping in the flower street. Today he was out of control again... By the time he realized what he was doing, his wallet was already flat.
When the two of them returned to the palace, Jing Jiaren refused to believe it, so she dug out Gong Zihua's safe and took a look.
"Why are they all empty?"
Gong Zihua pouted: "I spent a lot of money before."
"..."
"Especially that time when I was preparing to escape, I spent a lot of money on various arrangements and bribed people, and finally escaped from the underground kingdom..." But I was caught again.
Jing Jiaren's eyes fell on the gems inlaid on the dressing mirror: "What about these gems, are they all real?"
The palace is full of famous paintings, gems, and antiques. You can make a lot of money just by selling them.
Gong Zihua rolled his eyes: "These gems are not worth much money. As for antiques and famous paintings, can you take them out and try them? Even if you take them out, no one would dare to accept them, so it is difficult to sell them."
After all, this place is not on the ground, and there is no antique recycling shop. You can't carry antiques and paintings around to ask, right?
At this moment, several maids were talking: "Where can I change? Really?"
"Yes, it is said that one gold coin can be exchanged for two gold coins. But there are prerequisites, it must be old gold coins."
"I'll look through it when I get back to see if there are any old gold coins left. Wasn't it mandatory to exchange them last time?"
"Maybe Your Highness is afraid that someone will hide it secretly..."
There is no initiative in exchanging compulsorily, but there is enthusiasm in exchanging.
This time with the temptation of double rewards, probably no one will keep the old gold coins anymore... they will all be handed over obediently.
Jing Jiaren asked Gong Zihua: "Are the old gold coins from the time when Master Dong Gong was in power?"
"You're not stupid." Togiya Zite took out his gold coins and tossed them, "Now they are all replaced by ones with that guy's head engraved on them."
"The previous gold coin was engraved with the head of Mr. Dong Gong?"
"Um."
"I haven't seen him before, let me see..." Jing Jiaren had never seen what Mr. Dong Gong looked like before, and she was very curious.
She snatched the gold coin from Gong Zihua's hand. She was disappointed. His gold coin was bare with no patterns on both sides.
"I asked the craftsmen to make this myself." Gong Zihua said, "You are kidding, why would we carry around a gold coin with someone else's head engraved on it?" He hated old man Dong Gong so much.
"Can this kind of bare gold coin be circulated in the underground kingdom? Is there no difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. Smooth gold coins are like smuggled goods. They are taxed every time they are used. Usually their value is only half of that of regular gold coins." Gong Zihua shrugged. He had plenty of money before, so it didn't matter.
Jing Jiaren's face turned ugly: "In other words, our remaining two gold coins can only be regarded as one regular gold coin?"
