Chapter 102 Ending

The invalidation of the bank notes caused an uproar in the country. In order to appease the people, the Holy Majesty made drastic reforms. He first wrote a ten thousand-character edict against himself, and then dealt with countless "bank note affairs" officials. Remember the old stories.

After two years of absence, the bank ticket service has become a ticket quotation service, and the imperial court has restarted the issuance. The incident two years ago seems to be buried deep in the ground, and few people mention it again.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, more than tens of millions of people were affected by that incident. Those lucky enough to survive hate the "banknotes" to the bone, and no one is willing to exchange them.

But everything in the country is in the hands of the imperial court, so there are naturally people who are willing to share the troubles for the Holy One. The release of some new policies is just a matter of lip service from those people.

Cheng Wen walked in angrily. After traveling around for two years, he quickly matured, but in front of Bai Xin, he could always inadvertently reveal a little willfulness. Bai Xin asked, and said it like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, "Tickets are quoted, no wonder it is a 'quote' word, there will be no tickets in the future, this goods can't go anywhere, whether it is the shipping department or the transshipment department , all only recognize the official seal on the ticket, and I almost tell you that if you don’t exchange the ticket, you can’t do business!"

Regarding this result, Bai Xin had already thought of it. The government is not stupid. How could it think of a way to eliminate the resistance of the merchants?People can never beat officials.

Bai Xin walked over and persuaded: "Think about the good, this time the emperor is making great changes, and it is the first time that ticket quotations are issued, so it will definitely not be as rampant as before, otherwise the court will not have any credibility in the future." ?”

Cheng Wenren snorted, "I have lost credit for a long time."

Bai Xin knew that he was just complaining. After a while, he couldn't sit still, so he stood up and walked out, "No, I have to go to the ticket office to check first."

In two years, Bai Xin's "Tianxiangtang" has established a firm foothold in the capital, and also allowed the elder brother to become a qualified shopkeeper.Bai Dalang is not as smooth-talking as others, but he still maintains a simple and honest attitude, making the guests who come to the door very casual.

Bai Xin concentrates on making fragrances at home, doing what she likes, and looking at the people she likes. There is nothing more satisfying than this.

Whenever Cao thinks about it, she feels like she is in a dream. Three years ago, she was still a widow in the countryside after her husband died. If you have grandchildren with sweethearts, someone will serve you.

"Gouzi, come and recite the "Three Character Classic" for grandma." Man Niang walked over with Gouzi in her arms, as if offering a treasure.

Gouzi twisted, struggled to get down, stood on the ground, put his little hands on his back, raised his round face high, and carried his back in a low voice.

Cao Shi and Man Niang just listened to it and found it difficult, but Gou Zi didn't even stop. After hearing this, the two laughed from ear to ear. Cao Shi even hugged Gou Zi and kissed him hard, "Grandma, be careful Liver, study hard, come back with a top score in the exam, and shine brightly on your family."

"Mother, someone from my aunt's house delivered a letter just now, saying that they will come in the afternoon."

Mrs. Cao said three good words in a row, Gouzi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pestered his mother to ask, expectantly asking: "Is the little brother and little sister coming?"

Manniang bent down and hugged him, "Yes, yes, your aunt and uncle brought them back and they will stay for a few more days."

"Great! I want to find my brother, my sister."

Mrs. Cao stood up from her chair with a happy face, "Hurry up, let Han Qiao go to the street to buy some chicken, duck and fish, and buy a leg of lamb."

Gouzi also yelled in Manniang's arms, "I want lactose balls, lactose balls, my sister likes them the most."

The two adults understood each other, and laughed, and Man Niang shook her head helplessly, "Little greedy cat, it's clearly your favorite food!"

Gouzi kept giggling.

Compared with the happiness of Dafang's family, the second and third bedrooms of the Bai family are in dire straits.

Originally, Bai Siniang was favored by a businessman because of her beautiful appearance, but it wasn't that the Ming matchmaker was marrying back home, but was raised outside. Seeing that the businessman was rich, the Bai family didn't complain, and Bai Siniang had indeed lived a prosperous life. Even her natal family got rich, but the good times didn't last long and the bank notes were invalidated. The businessman was affected and tricked Bai Siniang into stealing money from the family, saying that he would take her south and return to her hometown. Bring it to the Jiangsu area, and sell it after changing hands.

The three-bedroom family also lost their money, and their daughter ran away. They cried and wiped their tears. There is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The three-bedroom family has enjoyed the blessings, and they can no longer suffer. I often recall In the short happy days before, he finally gritted his teeth and sold Sanniang to a middle-aged man as a concubine. He got some money, but it was all lost within half a year.

The second-bedroom family is worse than the third-bedroom family. They have to support Erlang to study and support the whole family. He is looking forward to the scientific examination. Erlang is defeated again. Grandma Bai's attitude gradually changes. Although she still likes her grandson the most, she will never again I hope that he can really get a good name in the exam, but instead persuade him to find a job in a shop to help the family.

Erlang has been studying since he was a child, and he has already been arrogant and arrogant. He even looks down on businessmen, let alone giving people to people?Talking about "everything is inferior, only reading is high", going to a poetry meeting today, and a book meeting tomorrow, and when the second room can no longer afford the money, those literati despise him for being poor and stay away from him.

Bai Erlang was furious and kept making noises all day long, forcing his family to take money out.

The second room had no choice but to sell the second mother to one as a concubine, which seemed to be the same as what happened to the third woman, but in fact it was worse than the second woman.

It turned out that the man was also supported by his father-in-law, and he was the most fearful at home, but his wife, who was like a mother-in-law, was the most jealous. , doing everything she can to the extreme, leaving everything to her to do, cooking, washing, and mopping the floor, even worse than servants.

Bai Erniang also had a temper at first, and resisted a few times, the real lady was used to doing evil things, and she was beaten and scolded for the slightest trouble. , Be honest, say that you dare not go west when you go east, and dare not stand when kneeling.

At first, Erniang Bai took advantage of her youth to get men to like her, but gradually, she was tortured to the point of becoming emaciated, and she was like a 20-year-old woman when she was under 30 years old. The real lady tortured her even more brazenly.

Bai Erniang couldn't take it anymore, and ran home secretly. The man paid money to beg for it at the beginning, how could he let it go, and wanted to get the money back, but Erfang was already poor and white, and he didn't eat the last meal. Can you still get the money?He had no choice but to send Bai Erniang back with tears in his eyes.

"What evil have I done?" Xu wailed, and passed out from crying.

The second and third bedrooms were extremely vicious to Dafang's family at the beginning, but now, according to the theory of cause and effect, all retribution will be on their children.
