This year, we will launch a new version of banknotes every two years and replace all the old banknotes to avoid counterfeiting."

"Accept the decree." Xu Guochang bowed to the ground.

…

A carriage parked quietly outside the side door of the Qian's Mansion on Tongji Street.

The thick cotton curtain opened, and a middle-aged man wearing an elegant Hangzhou silk blouse and a melon-skin hat inlaid with emeralds stepped out of the carriage.

"Mr. Xu, please come inside."

"The master has already given instructions to the young man."

"When Mr. Xu arrives, he will be taken directly to the study."

A steward of the Qian family immediately came forward enthusiastically.

It is said that the prime minister is a seventh-rank official, but the steward in Qian Ge's hometown was particularly attentive to Xu Yuanwai, which shows that Xu Yuanwai is not an ordinary person.

"Thank you, butler Wang has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Yuanwai's hand was a big ingot of silver.

The steward weighed it in his sleeves and found at least fifty taels.

At that moment, the steward led Xu Yuanwai to the door of the study room with a smile on his face.

"I came to Xu Ersui late at the end of my studies to pay my respects to Mr. Xu." Foreign Minister Xu Yuan bowed to him.

"Xu Xiaoyou is here, come in." Qian Qianyi put down his brush and motioned for Xu Er to come in.

Seeing Xu Ersui walking in, Liu Rushi, who was just adding some incense to the incense burner, retreated behind the screen.

After the greetings, Xu Er then asked: "Mr. Ge, I heard that the Holy Emperor has returned to Beijing in triumph, but I don't know what the Holy Emperor thinks of the food shortage in the various prefectures in Nanzhi?"

The Xu family of Huating was still panicked.

Although there were hundreds of grain merchants gathered, and even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet as a backer, even the Xu family of Huating was in a panic when faced with Chongzhen who was determined to kill and had the aura of "Meishan Enlightenment".

"The Lord did not mention this matter after he returned to Beijing." Qian Qianyi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, little friend Xu. There are so many major matters in the Ministry of Internal Affairs waiting for the Lord to deal with. How can he have time to care about the affairs of the common people?"

"What Mr. Ge said is absolutely true." Xu Er then heard this and his heart dropped back to his stomach.

After saying that, Xu Ersui took out a deposit receipt of Royal Bank and gently placed it on the desk.

"Mr. Ge, these are the bonuses for the winter and twelfth lunar months." Xu Er said, "Wan Jin has asked the accountant to calculate it in advance and sent it to Mr. Ge on a special trip."

Qian Qianyi took a look and read fifty thousand taels.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing." Qian Qianyi said with a dazzled smile, "I just pulled the strings from it. I really can't afford such a gift, so please take it back as soon as possible."

Xu Er then waved his hand and said: "If it weren't for the help of the elders, the grain merchants in all the provinces in Southern Zhili would not be able to advance and retreat together, so this big business would not be possible. A small bonus is really hard to express my gratitude. I just hope

Mr. Ge, please don’t be dissatisfied with the young man.”

"Hey, if that's the case, I'm going to be disrespectful." Qian Qianyi stopped being pretentious. Who would think it was too much money?

After chatting a few more words, Qian Qianyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing this, Xu Er immediately stood up and left.

As soon as Xu Ersui left, Liu Rushi came out from behind the screen and said, "Master, you'd better try not to get involved with these grain merchants. I think the Holy One may not let them go easily."

"Madam, you are worrying too much." Qian Qianyi said with a smile, "How can a husband get involved in these things?"
