C193 New Money
The lubricant was silent.
Before they could react, and no one thought carefully about the golden notes, they had already gotten used to it.
They knew that it was an extremely valuable item. It was very stable, much more stable than anything else.
When copper coins were used to buy rice, the price of rice would always change. However, if one used gold coins, the price of rice would be fixed. Compared to copper coins, gold coins were more stable.
Therefore, many people wanted to save some gold coins. Even if it was just one coin, it was still the biggest guarantee for their family. It could even be passed on to their descendants.
That was it.
One. A new thing did not cause much of a stir. In other words, in the eyes of the common people, it did not cause much of a stir. It started to be used just like that.
And those who noticed it would not do anything to it.
After all, as long as it could be used, it was fine as long as there was a guarantee.
Even the government had issued a statement to acknowledge the value of this gold coin, what was there for him to be afraid of?
To Xiao Yun, this was an interesting matter.
He looked coldly at all these changes and could not help but laugh out loud.
"Young master, what did you think of? Why are you so happy?"
Shangguan Qing'er took out some food and wine and placed them in front of him.
She had already started to live in the prison these few days. After all, regarding matters outside, on one hand, she was taking care of Xiao Yun, and on the other hand, she was hiding in the quiet.
The market of the sabre was even better than she had imagined. It was even more exaggerated!
How big was the Great Qin Country?
How many wealthy families were there?
There were hundreds of them. If they were piled up together, it would seem like there were quite a lot of them.
However, if they were spread across the entire Great Qin, they would be like mud in the ocean. They wouldn't be able to see anything.
There was a certain person in the capital with a saber hanging on his waist. Naturally, there were also people who started to inquire about it. This was especially true for some of the young masters who thought themselves elegant. On the one hand, they felt that they were the ones who had learned well. On the other hand, they also felt that their martial arts skills were good. This kind of elegant saber... It just so happened to be able to fuse the two auras into one, revealing them all at once.
Who didn't want it?
Especially those who looked at the saber hanging at their waists, they had to raise their heads when walking. Occasionally, they would lightly pat the saber, and the saber in the scabbard would gently collide with the scabbard. There would be some crisp sounds, which would also be accompanied by the jade pendant hanging behind the saber handle. The ringing sound was naturally very pleasant to the ear.
Each and every one of them used their nostrils to look at people!
If it was during the gathering, he would even place the saber on his own table. They would let everyone see, and some would even pull out a little bit. He would use the blade that was clearer than a bronze mirror to illuminate his hair... It was so flirtatious!
The group of people naturally became even angrier when they saw it.
It couldn't be said that even if they had to pay a huge price, they still had to get one of them!
After asking, they knew that this was the Xiao family's sale and Shangguan Qing'er was in charge of it. Naturally, each and every one of them ran over, trying to gain some connections and gain some face. They wanted to buy one of them.
However, there was only one stove in the backyard of the Xiao family. The production capacity was only that big, so how could there be too much?
It was even...
Just a few days ago, Xiao Huai'en had already found Shangguan Qing'er and asked her for a ceremonial knife. Naturally, Shangguan Qing'er would not give it to him. This made Xiao Huai'en furious and caused a huge ruckus in the forging workshop!
When the old man's anger had subsided, he would ask her and eat her. It turned out that it was a friend of his who had an extremely good relationship with him in the Imperial Court who had personally come over. After drinking and chatting, Xiao Huai'en was half-drunk. Only then did he explain his purpose of coming here. Xiao Huai'en had never cared about the matters in the backyard before. When he heard that he wanted to buy something from Qing'er, he naturally agreed immediately.
The other party was also extremely grateful, causing Xiao Huai'en to feel that he had a lot of face.
Especially now that he was exempt from being an official. To be honest, it was already good that he did not add insult to injury. There was no need to think that there would still be people who remembered and respected you.
Therefore, he needed this face even more. It was very important to him.
But when he ran to the back and found out that Qing'er did not even give him face, it naturally made him angry.
He even shouted loudly, "Okay! Now, the Xiao family only knew Xiao Yun? Don't know me, Xiao Huai'en? I'm not dead yet! He wanted to usurp the throne just because he was young? No way!"
It made the whole family feel extremely awkward.
Qing'er simply gritted her teeth and hurriedly took out two ceremonial knives that were supposed to be the buyers and fooled them over. Only then did she appease the old man.
But this way...
Everyone immediately knew that Xiao Huai'en was a very good breakthrough point!
As long as they could get close to him and establish a relationship with him, they would be able to buy things. Naturally, they would all come to him.
He agreed to all of them, and then went to find Qing'er.
In an instant, the order increased by a few dozen.
Even if those artisans were exhausted to death, they would not be able to chase them out even if they did not eat, drink, or sleep.
Qing'er gritted her teeth and directly carried the covers and ran to the prison to accompany Xiao Yun.
Only then could it be considered to be peaceful.
Xiao Yun drank a mouthful of wine and squinted his eyes, allowing the wine to surge and surge in his chest. He smiled and said, "This wine seems to have been brewed quite successfully."
"It's still the young master's method that is good, so this wine is good. But we have already agreed that this wine cannot be sold. After spending so much effort, he only managed to brew a little bit of it. Because of this, we even broke a few big pots! When he looked at it, he sat there for three to four hours. I didn't even dare to get up. It was truly too much of a suffering."
The method of brewing alcohol was actually quite easy. A few months ago... Xiao Yun had already prepared some good food and specially fermented a jar. Especially the simple distillation method that was used to boil water in the end. The current equipment had to be monitored in real time. Otherwise, the steam would cover the pot and run away with the smell of alcohol. The wine would be wasted.
Selling wine was a money-making business.
However, Xiao Yun had never thought of using it to earn money. He just wanted to try his best to regain some of the feelings he had in his past life.
Although his previous life was not very good, how should he put it? That was a human life!
More or less, there would always be some nostalgia.
This wine was one of them.
It did not mean that the wine was good. On the contrary, the wine was terrible.
However, he couldn't help but like it.
"Is it not worth it?"
Xiao Yun turned around and asked with a smile.
"It is indeed worth it."
Shangguan Qing'er grinned and also raised her glass. She took a sip and grimaced for a long time before she added, "So sweet!"
This wine was not sweet wine. It was just a slight sweetness, similar to fen wine.
But the people in this world lacked sweetness.
Whether it was food or life.
Looking up, the world was filled with bitterness.
"Oh right, what was the young master laughing about before?"
"Of course he was happy. Seeing the development of the situation outside isn't out of my expectations. This in itself is something that can make people happy. Let's secretly have fun and it won't affect others, so it's not a big deal."
"Young Master is secretly enjoying himself for no reason."
"Hehe."
Xiao Yun nodded his head in a calm manner.
The prison was calm, but the outside world was not calm.
On one hand, the people in the world were exhausted by the copper coin's decree. On the other hand, the Imperial Court was busy selling the new currency.
Finally, in this one month's time, the New Currency was ready!
This was a miracle for the Great Qin Country's production and system.
It was the result of the civil and military cooperation of the entire dynasty.

When a few coins were placed in front of His Majesty, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tear up.
The problem that had been troubling him for so many years had finally been resolved. This could not be any better.
"Open the vault and release the money!"
With an order, it was the National Day!
"This is too convenient!"
"Great, the deposit order is gone, it's finally gone!"
Everyone was happy.
The new currency was like a ripple in the mirror, with the capital as the center. It spread rapidly in all directions. It would take a few months for it to spread out. The entire Great Qin would use this new money. At that time, the problem of the copper coins would be solved. Even the storage and transportation of the copper coins would be much more convenient. It was also good news for merchants.
However, in this happy atmosphere, Wu Xi was not very happy.
Since the release of the new money, he had a frown on his face.
"What should we do? What should I do?"
He had been walking in front of Xiao Yun for quite some time. He was walking back and forth. It was impressive that an old man in his 70s could walk so fast.
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, stop spinning. It makes me dizzy."
"Hey, Young Master Xiao, why aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's there to be anxious about?"
"Now that the new money is out and the deposit restriction order has been canceled, who would exchange the copper coins for gold coins now? I heard that some people already want to use gold coins to exchange for copper coins and then exchange for new money. "
"That's right?"
"[That's right!] That's right! That's right! "
"Why not?"
"Uh..."
Wu Xi paused for a moment and was stunned on the spot. He felt that Xiao Yun was good at everything, except sometimes when he talked to him, he did not understand. He was anxious.
