    The Northern Song Dynasty was short of silver, very short.

    Not to mention the silver mines in the territory, the purity is still extremely low, and it is quite powerful to refine tens of thousands of catties a year.

    But this is far from enough. The business of the Northern Song Dynasty was very dynamic, and the bulk of goods transactions were all based on gold and silver, which was not enough at all.

    What's more terrible is that the Northern Song Dynasty had to offer yearly coins to the Liao Kingdom on a regular basis. In addition to some real objects, silver was also required.

    This made the already insufficient silver even more scarce, and if you want to mine and practice silver, you can't find it So now the Northern Song Dynasty can only desperately try to find a way to get copper, and even the copper coins are not enough.

    Moreover, there are too many copper coins and they are very heavy, which is extremely inconvenient.

    Therefore, this led to the birth of Jiaozi banknotes However, Jiaozi has only appeared for more than ten years now, and it has not been widely spread and used. For the time being, it is only circulated on a small scale near Chengdu.

    And silver is still the best choice for bulk goods transactions.

    So when he heard that the small box in front of him contained one hundred thousand taels of silver, the Runan County King was stunned and then excited.

    As for silver, it can be said that the more the better, as long as it does not flow out in large quantities at one time, and slowly controls the speed at which silver enters the market, it can completely stabilize the market.

    Although the King of Runan County is not a court official of the third envoy, he himself has commercial assets all over the country and knows the importance of silver very well.

    Anyway, he was fed up with the helpless situation of pulling out carts of copper coins during bulk commodity transactions.

    Not to mention the waste of manpower and material resources, it is still very troublesome to calculate.

    If there is silver, a dozen carts of copper coins can have the same value as long as half a cart of silver, wouldn't it be much more convenient!

    "My son-in-law, what do you want to exchange for this thing?" Runan County King stretched out his hand to touch the box, and then felt what was hidden inside: "You should also know the value of one hundred thousand taels of silver.  Yes. I know you are not short of money, you must have what you need before you come here."

    Lu Sen smiled and said: "It's just some rare medicinal materials and rare treasures, such as Polygonum Polygoni Multiflori Multiflori, or Poria cocos with a thousand years, just send them here."

    "I'll help you to pay attention." Runan County King smiled, he patted the little turtle spirit beast on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "If you still have a lot of silver in the future, feel free to send it to me, you won't suffer.  "

    "no problem."

    Both Weng and his son-in-law are happy, and Lu Sen has released a large amount of silver, so that he can get a large amount of medicinal materials in the future.

    However, the Runan County King received a large amount of silver, and from then on, his business transactions will be smoother.

    For the same large transaction list, if gold and silver are used as the base, the price can be lowered.

    After all, no one likes to build a large warehouse for copper coins for storage.

    Lu Sen lived in Tianbo Yang's residence for another two days, and the most interesting thing every day was watching Yang Jinhua and Mu Guiying fight.

    Recently, Yang Jinhua's strength has soared, and she dared to challenge her mother.

    But I have to say, drinking honey every day and nourishing her spiritual energy, the speed of her progress is indeed obvious.

    In the past, Mu Guiying beat her daughter with one hand, but now she needs two hands to beat her.

    And every time at this time, Madam She would also watch the battle from the sidelines, happily.

    On the third day, Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua out.

    ? March 3rd, Peach Blossom Festival, Shangsi Festival!

    In the Tang Dynasty, March 3rd was considered a big festival, and the Han people from both the north and the south celebrated it.

    But at this time in the Northern Song Dynasty, for some reason, the Han people in the Central Plains and the North were no longer on March 3rd. Only the Han people in the Nanman area still celebrated the March 3rd festival, which later evolved into a day for ethnic minorities.

    Also benefited from this, March 3rd in the Northern Song Dynasty is no longer considered a ghost festival at this time, and there is a saying that it is suitable to marry on this day.

    In addition, according to the birthdays of Zhan Zhao and Ding Yuehua, it is most suitable for the two to get married on March 3rd.

    The Zhanfu is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and red tassels surround the courtyard.

    Many people brought gifts and brought their family members into the exhibition mansion, and the ceremonial personnel at the door received the guests. After asking their identities and accepting the gifts, the person who sang promises next to him shouted: "Outside the so-and-so member in the north of the city, three volumes of top-grade calligraphy and painting,  Something like a string of pearls.

    Of course, it is only read like this when you receive a big gift. Some folks who follow the elders will not read it. It is also a way to avoid embarrassment.

    When Lu Sen got married, there was no such process, because he was a 'real person'. In everyone's mind, practitioners were quiet and would not make such troubles. Besides, gifts from ordinary people would be insignificant in front of Lu Sen, a real person.  It's just a mortal thing, it doesn't matter if you read it out.It's a feeling of arrogance.

    Most of the officials showed expressions of "as expected".

    It was the first time Han Qi saw Lu Sen, and was shocked by Lu Sen's arrogance.

    Bao Zheng was not angry either, he said kindly: "One must have a beginning and an end in doing things."

    "Being an official has a beginning and an end? Bao Xueshi, what you said is meaningless. How many people have you peeled off?" Lu Sen's smile was peaceful.

    Bao Zheng said sternly: "Those people should be stripped of their official titles. The old man's verdict must be based on ironclad evidence."

    Lu Sen smiled more happily: "Then my official status will definitely be stripped, and the boy will act, but I hope I have a clear conscience and a clear conscience."

    Bao Zheng looked at Lu Sen quietly for a while, then sighed leisurely.

    Lu Sen's meaning is already obvious. Combined with the words he left when he resigned, it means: you officials are disgusting, and when I'm with you, I can't think clearly.

    That's roughly what it means.

    The atmosphere in the venue became more and more tense. The east hall was quite noisy, after all, there were more than a dozen tables.

    But now it has become very quiet. Except for Lu Sen's table, no one dared to speak. Other officials or nobles and wealthy businessmen all lowered their heads, pretending that they didn't hear anything.

    When big shots are fighting, it's best not to make a sound. If you attract any attention, it's because the city gate catches fire and brings disaster to the fish in the pond.

    The atmosphere became more and more tense. At this time, Grand Master Pang spoke. He smiled and said, "My son-in-law, can you give me one of the 'auspicious clouds' you created?"

    Xiangyun is an aircraft, as it is called by outsiders.

    Lu Sen shook his head: "I'm sorry Taishan, the materials needed for that thing are rather troublesome, and there are no extras for now."

    "It's a pity." Grand Master Pang smiled.

    In fact, he didn't really want a flying machine, he just used this topic to break the awkward and stiff atmosphere just now.

    Sure enough, as he expected, after the topic was diverted, the atmosphere among the crowd improved a lot.

    Relying on his familiarity with Lu Sen, Di Qing took the initiative to ask: "Really Lu Sen, can you give me some fairy rice seeds?"

    Lu Sen was a little strange: "You didn't grab it?"

    Di Qing showed an embarrassed expression: "I am in Hangzhou City, and there is no one there!"

    Oh, that's right!

    As an important economic center, Hangzhou City is not only the territory of King Xiangyang, but also the ticket warehouse that civil officials value.

    Of course, a general would not be allowed to place his forces and cronies there.

    Lu Sen whispered, "I'll give some to General Di after the banquet."

    "Thank you."

    Now it is the season of spring plowing. Although seedlings have been planted in Di's land, but with the seeds of immortal rice, the seedlings that have been planted must be pulled out and planted again, which is just tiring.

    Farming is an instinct rooted in the blood of every Han Chinese. Even a high-ranking military official like Di Qing attaches great importance to his own food production.

    With Taishi Pang and Di Qing speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became much more cheerful again.

    Han Qi has been looking at Lu Sen. He is using his life experience to estimate what kind of person Lu Sen is and how he should deal with it.

    At this moment, a young official stood up from the side. He walked to Lu Sen, bent over, and said loudly and seriously: "This official is Mo Shaocong, the secretary of the admonishment court. I have seen Lu Tianzhang.  .¡±

    Lu Sen turned around, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "Mo Siyan, we meet again."

    This young man was re-recorded from the local area when Lu Sen was about to resign. Lu Sen had seen his face, but he had no impression of him.

    And Siyan is an official title of Yanguan, usually at the seventh rank.

    This Mo Siyan bowed again and said: "Really Lu, do you know that you have killed five pillars of the court in the past two years?"

    Um?

    Lu Sen felt baffled: "What do you mean by that?"

    "In the early autumn of the previous year, after Zhenren Lu left, Luo Geng, the doctor left to advise, died of a stroke; the next month, Zhang, an old member of the household department, died of a chronic cough; in the early spring of last year, Luo Zhongzheng, the envoy of the third division of salt and iron, immediately  wind¡­¡­"

    After explaining the cause of death of the five imperial court officials, this person looked directly into Lu Sen's eyes and said solemnly: "If the real Lu Sen is still in Bianjing, they will not die, and the imperial court will have less loss. Why don't you understand?"  ?¡±

    After these words were uttered, everyone in the East Hall stared at Lu Sen with burning eyes.

    Lu Sen understood that the other party was putting a label on himself.

    And depending on the situation, he seems to be just a scapegoat introduced by others.

    Young people are still young But maybe the other party knows that he is being used and is willing to do so. After all, the speaker just wants to get a 'clear name', which is normal.

    "Why do I need to understand?" Lu Sen looked into Mo Shaocong's eyes: "Whether they are dead or alive, what does it have to do with me? If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any excuses? You have a very dark heart no!"

    Lu Sen looked around the entire east hall, and suddenly said with a smile: "All of you, your hearts are very dark."; Young people are still young But maybe the other party knows that he is being used and is willing to do so.
