"Last night, I specially checked the accounts of Yuezhou bank. The number is amazing. The bank has grown up from a baby in swaddling clothes."


    "Your Majesty, it''s time for you to find a suitable place for it. I can''t control the bank. Now someone has proposed to replace gold, silver and copper with cheap paper. I don''t understand. If I''m wrong, it will lead to great disaster." she told the truth.


    "What did Tang Hao say?" Li Zhi sat up after listening to his mother''s words.


    "My concubine once asked Tang Hao on the ship. He turned pale and said something he couldn''t understand. Finally, with red eyes, he said to my concubine that someone had mentioned that whoever printed paper coins would make a decision."


    Li Zhi closed his eyes and thought for a while. He said slowly, "I believe his judgment more than others. The bank was originally inspired by him with the crown prince and Li Dan. If there is someone in the world who knows the advantages and disadvantages of the bank best, it should be him. After returning to Chang''an, we need to talk to him about the bank."


    The couple said nothing to each other and sighed at the same time, which made the pavilion more quiet.


    Li Zhi and his mother are still wandering in the streets of Yuezhou Prefecture. Sometimes they will appear in the farmland in the suburbs, and they will no longer hide their identity.


    A small temple has appeared where Tang Hao threw rice seedlings indiscriminately. There is a statue of Tang Hao in the temple. I don''t know who carved it.


    The inscription is still on it, and the sarcastic tone has not changed, but a sentence is added at the end: at the end of the year, there are mu of fields here, with a high yield of 10%.


    "Nonsense can also make the people automatically make a statue of him. I really have nothing to say." Li Zhi unexpectedly patted the statue''s head with great emotion. Is this guy magical luck or is it really blessed by a hundred gods?


    Li Zhi looked at the lush mountains around him and asked Han Cheng, "here are surrounded by mountains on three sides and close to the water on one side. There are dense swamps and mosquitoes everywhere. Why do you rarely see wild animals? I heard that dragons roam everywhere in Yunmeng Zeli and there are groups of tigers and leopards on the mountain. Now our monarchs and ministers have been walking here all day. Why are it difficult to see small animals such as foxes?"


    Han Cheng bowed and replied, "back to your majesty, Wei Chen just sighs that there are too few dragons and it is difficult to find the trace of tigers and leopards."


    "Oh, why? Dragons, tigers and leopards are pests. Why did Qing sigh?" Li Zhi knew there must be a reason and didn''t draw a conclusion easily.


    What happened a few days ago made him resent. Yuezhou is different from other states in many places. One of them is that the city gate of Yuezhou is never closed. As long as it is late in the night, an endless stream of cars and horses will drive into Yuezhou city. After asking, I learned that Yuezhou city does not allow businesses to purchase goods in the daytime. They can only transport the goods into Yuezhou when there is no one in the market in the middle of the night. The reason is that the assassin thinks that the passage of pigs and sheep through the market is unsightly.


    "Your Majesty, although dragons, tigers and leopards are pests, they are full of treasures. Dragon skin has become the best leather material after tanning and is used to make boots. It is not bad this year. A good soft leather craftsman can peel a dragon skin into four layers. The peeled crocodile skin is as soft as silk and as tough as hemp. It is the best choice for making all kinds of luggage."


    Then Han Cheng pointed to a female official and said: "Look at the bags and suitcases carried by those female officials. They are produced in the Tang family''s shops. The price is outrageous. With a small salary, you can''t buy many such bags and suitcases a year. Jiaolong meat is even more popular now. Doctors believe that Jiaolong meat can replenish qi and blood, relieve asthma and cough, so large families have dried Jiaolong meat. The same is true for tigers and leopards. It''s made by an expert craftsman from Chang''an Fur has now been sold to Dashi. Yuezhou city has 20% of its industry, which is supported by these dragons, tigers and leopards. Now, there are no dragons around Yuezhou City, and tigers and leopards can only be seen in the mountains. Because of this, the price of making luggage and fur in Yuezhou is much higher. "


    Hearing this, Li Zhi called an accompanying female official and asked her to bring her backpack. Li Zhi then tore it a few times and opened it again.


    The female official''s face turned crimson immediately. There were some women''s personal belongings inside. Li Zhi didn''t care. He turned over and fell on the table in front of the statue of Tang Hao. He looked at a copper crocodile logo on his backpack and studied it carefully.


    "I have a lot of such bags. As long as the Tang family has new goods, they will be sent to the palace. I just don''t know the price. How expensive can a bag be? Well, huannu, how much does your bag cost?" the empress asked suspiciously.


    The female official said, "back to your mother''s words, this is an example that the slave and maid saved for two years. They bought it at the old shop of the Tang family yesterday and used 12 silver coins."


    The female official hung her head low and dared not look at her mother. Although she liked decoration, such expensive items exceeded her expectations.


    "Twelve silver coins?" the empress screamed and slapped the female officer on the head.


    "The asking price of the Tang family''s things has always been black hearted. They bought it with 50 tons of grain."


    Seeing that the empress was angry, Huan Nu quickly knelt down to plead guilty. The other female officials put their bags in front of the empress and knelt down to plead guilty. Unexpectedly, there were one.


    Hancheng pleaded for these female officials, "calm down, madam. There are ten bags in Weichen''s family, one wife, one concubine and three women. For them, bags are the biggest idea besides jewelry. They came to Yuezhou with their mother from Chang''an. Weichen will be surprised if they don''t buy some bags."


    "You say it''s normal for rich people to buy this thing?" the empress looked at Hancheng incredulously. After all, this thing is too expensive for ordinary people to afford.


    "Well, some old friends of Weichen are in Chuzhou. They always write to me asking me to buy some new bags for their wife. I''m ashamed to say that Weichen''s salary is on this." Qian Sheng also helps.
