After chatting casually about plum blossoms, Yan Shu whispered to Xu Ping: "It is easy for a gentleman to be a man, but it is difficult for villains to be guarded against. Qian Mingyi is said to have been smart since childhood, but he doesn't like reading. He has a rough writing and cannot explain it after many Jinshi. It's just that he is good at ease and likes to tease right and wrong. He is the most popular in the Qian family generation. I heard that this time he took the path of Zhao Anren's family and took the car of Xianggong Lu. If you neglect him in public, be careful that he will hold a grudge, which will be detrimental to you in the future."

Xu Ping whispered: "The bachelor reminds me that I will be careful in the future. However, the more I guard against villains, the more I will hang on my body. Let the ghosts and monsters beside me, I will just walk straight from the road!"

Yan Shu nodded: "Just be careful, don't worry too much. A family member who has not passed the Jinshi cannot cause any big storm. By the way, how have you compiled your books recently?"

"We have already figured out what we should do, and we have started writing these two days. However, those of us who hold writing have shallow knowledge after all. If the bachelor has free time, he should give him advice."

"It seems that I couldn't get back to the capital before the New Year. I had nothing to do, so I could just go over and take a look."

As soon as Yan Wenying died, Lu Yijian was in trouble recently. Du Yan, who was headed by Fan Zhongyan, secretly cooperated with Du Yan, and the anti-Lu forces in the court united and pressed Lu Yijian step by step. In recent days, memorials impeached Lu Yijian's accomplices have been constantly every day, and Lu Yijian was a little worried and could not take care of the place on the west road of Jingxi.

Yan Shu was originally frightened by Lu Yijian's power and acted according to his wishes. As soon as Lu Yijian was in crisis, his attitude towards Xu Ping immediately changed. If Xu Ping was really successful, he would have made a great contribution, so Yan Shu naturally had to participate.

As for Qian Mingyi, this time, he took the opportunity to perform at the funeral of Qian Wei, and stayed in Xijing City and wanted to find an opportunity to get a background for himself. With his level, there are basically no need to think about normal imperial examination sergeants. Now there are only two ways left. One is recommended by the minister and the bachelor's college. If the grades are qualified, he can be awarded a Jinshi. There are many people who take this path, such as Li Shu, Jia Changchao and others, and of course, there is also a Ma Jiliang who works on the papers by Yan Shu. Yang Gu made important people everywhere, just to be able to take this path for his son. Another way is to take the course, because it is not a normal exam, he may be manipulated by the minister.

The Jinshi was particularly important than the normal imperial examination. The first and second grades were never taught, and the third grade was equivalent to the top scorer. There were only Wu Yu since the Song Dynasty. In history, there were only four people in the whole Song Dynasty. The Jinshi, also known as the major examination, is one of them. The Jinshi, also known as the major examination, is one of them. Those who passed the Jinshi can also participate again, such as Wu Yu and Zhang Fangping. Nowadays, Xia Shu, Fu Bi, Wu Yu and Zhang Fangping, etc., are all from the Jinshi. This path was aimed at by Qian Mingyi.

If you want to forcibly pass the examination, you must not only have the support of the magistrate, but also have to have the Hanlin Bachelor's College as an internal supporter, and the ministers in the court must at least not strongly oppose it. None of them is indispensable. With this energy, only Lu Yijian is now. Now Lu Yijian is a little unreliable, so Qian Mingyi tried every means to rely on other people's relationships.

Zhao Anren's family in Luoyang was the chief censor during the Tianxi period and had passed away. His wife was Lu Mengzheng's second daughter and Lu Yijian's cousin. Qian Mingyi used this relationship to get involved with Lu Yijian's thread.

Xu Ping remembered it in his heart and paid attention to it in the future, so he didn't have to pay special attention. If an official at this level was fussy when he was against him, he wouldn't have to do it.

Wang Yaochen greeted everyone and sat over. Because Li Ruogu was not there, no veteran officials among the branch officials came. Together with Wang Gongchen and Zhao Xu, they sat on the table.

After chatting about the poems about plum blossoms, Wang Gongchen persuaded him to watch the flowers for a few times, and everyone scattered to enjoy the flowers.

Xu Ping said to Wang Yaochen and Wang Gongchen: "Look at the end of the year, we must settle the accounts between us, otherwise it will be difficult to arrange the next year. I discussed with the three departments to make a book with the tickets from Henan Province, print the bills and make a payment, and then talk about the difficulties. I brought the sample tickets I printed, and you can see if they are in line."

After saying that, he took a few long paper tickets from his sleeve and handed them over to the people present to give them advice.

This is a pulp made of colored cotton, pressed layer by layer, and colorless hemp fiber is mixed in it. Only Xu Ping and the craftsmen who made the paper know the specific formula, which is extremely confidential. Unlike Jiaozi, these bills are printed with ink, which is colorful, and unlike Nishikawa Jiaozi's red and black colors, these bills are all multi-color overprinted.

Everyone spread it, and Wang Yaochen said, "The others are all good, but are the colors too bright? The official bills printed are better, but they are better off with a simple and heavy bill."

Xu Ping shook his head: "It's too late, this is a hurry to get the seal. There is only such a painter who prints the bills, and his paintings are in this style. If you find someone to paint outside, you will be afraid of leaking the mechanism and being stolen by illegal people from all over the country."

Wang Gongchen shook the bill in his hand, making a crackling sound, and said, "How can this kind of paper be made in the world?"

Xu Ping said: "That's all, it's just that the people who stole the seals among the people cannot use them, and they always ruin the reputation of the bills. Let's use them for one year first, and ignore the patterns first, so it's easy to identify. Anyway, the bills are only used in various government offices. After the three departments can cash the tickets, they will be abandoned. Use them in the future, don't find a master to repaint them."

Yan Shu said: "Yan is the best at painting this kind of painting, so you can find him in the future."

"I think so too, but Yan is waiting in the capital, and it's too late this year." Xu Ping nodded and shook the bills in his hand. "That's it. Is there anything else that is inappropriate?"

Zhao Xu looked left and right with the bill he was holding and whispered: "Everything else is good, but the pattern is written horizontally. Isn't it inappropriate? It's not a plaque, will it make people misunderstand?"

Whether it is Jiaozi or Guan Yin, they are basically arranged vertically. Xu Ping couldn't stand it anyway and changed it to a horizontal version according to his previous life's habits. Anyway, these were all decided by him, and there are no certain rules. Just get used to it.

Wang Gongchen felt that the horizontal version was pleasing to the eyes: "This is used as money. According to the custom of the three corporations, these numbers are used instead of text. Look, this one is followed by three zeros, which is a thousand text, which is always enough. If it is a firm version, it will be inconvenient."

Xu Ping once promoted Arabic numerals from his previous lives in Sansi, but they have not been completely changed in various places. Only Wang Gongchen is used to using them. Others have only heard of them and can only remember them when they mention them.

After listening to Wang Gongchen's words, several people read it over and over again, and it turned out that the horizontal version was more suitable.

Finally, Yan Shu asked: "If this bill is only used in the yamen, why not just cancel the bill? Why do you have to do this?"

Wang Gongchen smiled and said, "I will answer this question for the bachelor. For example, if I buy the field business, I will buy farm tools from Sansi Shop and buy cattle and horses from local government offices. On the other hand, they may also buy the grain, cotton and oil from my place. This kind of transaction is available every day, and I may also buy cattle from Dengzhou and sell grain from Henan Prefecture. I have to pay taxes like the people. If the account is checked, the account cannot be checked."

Seeing that Yan Shu was still a little understanding, Xu Ping said: "Bachelor, in fact, this is the same as having to pay one hand in private transactions. If the money and goods were not cleared at that time, but five horses were exchanged for six sheep, I would not know how long it would take for a transaction. If the yamen were asked to get the bills between the yamen, the yamen said that if the yamen wanted to buy a few plowing oxen at the moment, and there was no goods to sell locally, Caizhou's yamen had to sell cotton and oil, and the time for the round-trip registration would delay the opportunity. Not only that, when the yamen was clearing the bills, it would be a mess and it would not be clear."

Yan Shu thought about it carefully and understood the truth. If there was no such payment method among the various yamen, the timeliness of the transaction would not be guaranteed, and no one could understand the accounts he had saved. Since he became an official, Yan Shu had mostly served local officials and ministers. Even if he worked in the three departments, he would have both hands and relied on his subordinates to do things. These specific governance actions were not as deep as others' feelings.

These bills actually have the same function as the currency used normally, but only limit the scope of use. If you really want to say it, the world's trade is roughly balanced, and there are always buying and selling. Why can't you barter with goods? If the scale of business is large, you will definitely need currency, otherwise the efficiency of transactions will be unacceptable.

However, Yan Shu still couldn't figure it out a little, and asked Xu Ping: "If these bills could be used, they would be free of traffic between the various yamen on West Jing Road. In fact, the flying tickets in Henan Mansion are not necessarily redeemable, right?"

"Bachelor, you can't say that." Xu Ping dared not be careless about this. He must make it clear to Yan Shu. "These bills are used for transactions between various yamen on the West Jing Road. They cannot be used for private transactions. Even if they are Sansi Shop, they have to offset them with flying tickets after receiving them. This requires them to have enough goods in their hands. The bills cannot be used among the private sector, which is very unfavorable to the prefectures and counties, especially for the field business. Originally, they have made so much money this year, they can hire more people, point out more wasteland, open more ditches, build more roads, and build more houses, but the bills cannot be used among the private sector, so they had to stop. The bills are in emergency, but the development of the field business has been abandoned for a year."
