In the afternoon, in Kaifeng, the streets, restaurants, tea shops and wine shops around the tax and customs trading market were as lively as ever. Diners heard the scholars talk about news in the newspapers and talked about current affairs.

The day before yesterday, a good news came: the official army attacked Jinyang and captured the king of Qi, the royal family and the senior civil and military officials, so Qi was over.

The Gao family Qi State's reign lasted for more than twenty years.

After the news spread, Kaifeng City was in full swing, and people soon realized that they were one step closer to the unification of the world.

The chaotic world of nearly three hundred years may really be over!

The newspapers on that day and the next day were sold out. Even if the newspapers printed additional newspapers, the supply was in short supply. For a time, "Kaifeng newspapers were expensive."

People flocked to various food and entertainment venues, heard stories about scholars and read newspapers, and learned about the details about the Jinyang victory.

From this, they knew how strong Jinyang City was and how strict the Qi army's defense was.

From this, they learned how the officers and soldiers fought bravely, breaking through the barricades in the city and controlling the key points in the city.

From this, they learned about the new weapon "Krupp", the name of "Loyal and Brave Bo", and their great military achievements in assisting the government army in breaking the city.

I also learned a good news: the second period of "treasury bonds" will be issued soon.

Because after the destruction of Qi, the court needed to carry out large-scale reconstruction in the Hedong area, and the start of construction of Hehuai Yundu would cost a lot, and the war with Zhou State was still ongoing, so the court had to borrow money to turn over.

For the same period of treasury bonds, the "currency" used to subscribe to bonds can be money (limited Zhenyuan Wuzhu, Zhenyuan Tongbao), and grain.

This news is even more exciting than the official army's recovery of Jinyang, because it concerns the vital interests of many people:

When the imperial court took Jinyang, ordinary people would not have a penny in their pockets, but if ordinary people could buy treasury bonds, the money in their pockets would really have increased.

So, in food and entertainment venues everywhere, guests' ears were raised when they heard the news that the scholars talked about the "second treasury bonds are about to be issued".

People are concerned about whether the "second-term treasury bonds" will be open to individuals, or whether they will only be sold to money houses and cabinets, just like the first-term treasury bonds.

However, the newspapers in the hands of the storyteller and the reports on the treasury bonds did not go into detail in detail, but only mentioned in a vague manner that "there are companies considering lowering the subscription threshold" and "personal subscriptions may be allowed".

This has given many people hope: according to the current credit and financial resources of the imperial court (the annual output of the Le'an copper mine in Raozhou exceeds 10 million kilograms), they can really get the principal and interest immediately after maturity.

In this way, it is a stable transaction, but the premise is to skip the money house (guillotine house).

Because of the issuance of a first-term government bond, the imperial court limited that only registered money houses (guillotines) can be subscribed, and other merchants and individuals cannot buy them.

Nowadays, money shops and cabinets use interest payments to absorb depositors' funds to make money and profits. This transaction is becoming more and more popular.

Many wealthy families choose to deposit a certain amount of money (or grain) into money houses and cabinets to make money. The interest obtained every month is also a good income.

At least you won’t lose money, and you will be much more worry-free than lending money yourself.

But in terms of treasury bonds, for individuals, they must first become a depositor in a certain money house or a cabinet to gain benefits from the issue of treasury bonds in the court.

The interest on saving money in a money shop is of course lower than the interest on buying treasury bonds directly. The difference is earned by the money shop and the counter shop.

Therefore, many rich people, including those who do not have money shops and warehousing industries, are very concerned about whether the "subscription restrictions" can be relaxed on the second phase of treasury bonds.

As for the series of events of the "recovery" of Jinyang and the demise of Qi, for these people, it was just a topic after dinner.

After all, whether the State of Qi and Zhou will be destroyed will not affect the amount of copper coins in their pockets.

Whether the subscription restrictions for the issuance of the new treasury bonds is relaxed is the focus of these people.

......

In the palace, the crown prince Li Fang, who rushed back from Luoyang, entered the palace early in the morning and greeted his parents, but was urged by Huang Gui to go back:

"Everything in the palace is as usual, and the Crown Princess is about to give birth. Hurry up and go back to accompany you!"

"Uh...but the child has something to do to his father..."

"What urgent matters can you have now? Qi State is over, Zhou State is unable to fight back. The battle is up, and the front-line generals will fight. What urgent matters can you have now? It is more important than accompanying your inner person?"

"Mom, this..."

"What's this? Your father asked you to come back. He didn't ask you to report anything, but asked you to accompany your inner person! Go, go back quickly!!"

Li Fang was urging by his mother like this, so he could only leave the information he brought to his father and let his mother pass it on to his father. Then he left the palace and went to the East Palace.

The Crown Princess Wu is about to give birth, and Li Fang actually wants to wait outside the room for his first child to be born.

As for men or women, they are second and most importantly, all the big and small are safe.

When Huang Gui saw his son leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered someone to put the information left by his son into a small wooden box and paste it with a seal.

The harem cannot interfere in politics, rules are rules. Li Li often says "set an example", and she must also set an example for her descendants.

Turning back to his study, Huang Gui looked at the clock and asked the palace maids around him: "Have Your Majesty used breakfast?"

This was a gentle question to Li Li whether he got up or not. The palace maid replied: "Go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty hasn't had breakfast yet."

"Is that so, he is leisurely..." Huang Yan said and shook his head. There were more than one reason why she asked her son to go back just now. Li Li hasn't gotten up yet, so it's one of them.

You can't tell your son that your father had tossed for a night last night, so he hasn't gotten up yet, so go back first?

She looked at the clock again and it was already ten o'clock in the morning. She felt that Li Li was relaxing a little unreasonable in the past two days, so she went to the bedroom.

The great victory in Jinyang is of course good news and is also worthy of happiness, but are you as indulging in this way?

Huang Yan thought so, walked under the corridor, and asked, "Who was the one who served the bed last night?"

"It's Miss Xiao and Miss Zhang..." The palace maid replied, her voice yelling like a mosquito, "And, Miss Xue..."

"Three!!" Huang Yan blurted out, looking shocked, and found that the voice was a little louder, so he lowered his voice: "Why didn't you tell me last night!"

The palace maid Nene: "Your Highness had ordered that the great victory in Jinyang will be happy. If you want to have fun at night, don't make a fuss..."

"That's not, it's not..." Huang Yan said, unable to continue.

After walking a few steps, my heart was filled with anger: Three in a night, do you still want your health!!!

Seeing that the queen looked bad, the palace maid quickly reminded her: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is here,... in the piano room..."

"Hmm? Piano room?" Huang Yan felt a little surprised and then became more and more unhappy.

The piano room is not a bedroom. If you spend the night, according to the autumn weather, it is hot in the first half of the night and cold in the second half of the night. She is worried that Li Li, who is having fun in the piano room, catches a cold in the middle of the night.

Huang Gui wasn’t angry that Li Li was playing crazy, but he was angry that Li Li didn’t take his health seriously.

What should I do if Li Li has three long and two shorts?

When she came to the piano room, she saw several eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside. She didn't listen to the report and didn't let the news open. She walked in by herself, but she gently approached the inner room.

As a real wife, she was not here to catch the adulterer, but was worried that if Li Li suddenly appeared at a "critical moment" at this time, she would easily scare Li Li to get into trouble.

As a result, Li Li's voice came from inside: "To sum up, the issuance of treasury bonds must be done step by step, so that people from different classes can slowly accept the credit of treasury bonds..."

"As long as those big money houses, cabinet shops, wealthy merchants and powerful people use buying treasury bonds as a means of financial management, under such demonstration, ordinary officials and people will follow up..."

Now, Huang Feng was shocked: National, national debt? What's going on?

Next to him, the eunuch who had been following with a bitter face has just been quickly explained to the queen:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is very excited last night. He played the piano and the pipa with his three ladies, and he talked about many things. Now, he talked about national debt... Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been talking all night..."

"Ha? Talk for a night?" Huang Yan felt unbelievable, "Just here, don't sleep, talk for a night?"

"Yes, I am very happy to see Your Majesty. I think your Majesty is because of the great victory in Jinyang, so I asked the three ladies to be students, hung up the blackboard, explained some knowledge, and talked all night..."

"During this period, I also used a few late-night snacks..."

After hearing this, Huang Yan felt amused and laughed: when Li Li was happy, he often did unexpected things.

When the official army captured Jinyang, the news was immediately transmitted to Kaifeng by the carrier pigeon. When Li Li learned about it, he was happy.

Huang Yan was picked up by Li Li at that time, and he turned around several times before letting go.

Afterwards, Li Li instantly became "light like a swallow". When he passed the threshold, he jumped and jumped, which shows how happy he was.

Thinking about his worries just now, Huang Gui felt a little embarrassed, and then realized that this was not good: How can people hold on if they haven’t slept all night?

Even if you are happy, you must sleep!

Then he let the eunuchs spread the news. Li Li was very happy to learn that Huang Gui was coming:

"It's the queen, hurry up and come in."

After Huang Gui went in, he saw three beauties with dark eyes, looking at him eagerly, as if fish for sale in the fish market. In despair, he was looking forward to the kind-hearted person who came to buy fish and release them.

The youngest Zhang Lihua met the reinforcements... The queen, her eyes flashed with tears in an instant, bit her lips lightly, twisted her lips slightly, and looked like she was about to cry after being wronged.

The feeling that this little lady gave Huang Yan was described in one word, which is "I still feel pity for you."

Li Li looked excited and seemed tireless, and greeted Huang Gui to sit down: "Come on, the queen, let's continue..."

If this continues, Huang Gui quickly said, "Your Majesty!! Your Majesty has not been asleep all night, so you have to rest!"

"Rest?" Li Li then looked out the window and found it was bright outside, and waved his hand: "No, I'm happy today, I'm sharing some interesting knowledge with you!"

Huang Gui wanted to persuade Li Li to rest, but when he saw that Li Li was very excited, he changed his method: "What knowledge should Your Majesty share next?"

Li Li raised his right index finger and smiled: "The perspective-based basics of painting..."
