Chapter 309 My daughter has grown up and has her own little secrets.
When the three boxes of gold were moved out, Fang Xueying was stunned.
She shook her head wildly in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, how could you find it?"
Zhang Facai shouted excitedly.
"I told you, this little girl is amazing! She knows everything."
Wan Mingliu was stunned and stood there.
Could it be that they really misunderstood the third brother?
Lu Yanshi felt a little troubled when looking at so many gold, silver and jewelry.
Their carriage could not hold so many things, but he was not happy to give these things to the local officials.
If they hadn't requested for troops, how long would it take for the local government to come and suppress the bandits?
Bandits are rampant, and I don’t know how many more people will be robbed.
"If only these silver coins could become smaller," he muttered to himself.
"Don't worry, father. I have a way." Lu Li patted his chest to assure.
"What do you have in mind?" Lu Yanshi was a little curious.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I can definitely take all these away. Just go on with your work." Lu Li rolled his eyes and didn't tell the truth.
[I'll just ask Lu Xuan to borrow his clam shell that can grow and shrink.]
[Should something like this fit in?]
[But don't let Father know about this clam shell, just in case he wants to do something about it.]
[I can't take Lu Xuan's things away.]
While Lu Li was complaining inwardly, she pulled away Wang Xiang who was joining in the fun.
"Lu Xuan, come here, I have something to tell you in private."
When Lu Yanshi heard his daughter's thoughts, he guessed her solution and felt a little curious and a little sad.
A clam shell that grows and shrinks?
There are such magical things in the world?
But she didn't even tell her father about such a good thing.
My daughter has grown up and has her own little secrets.
Just when Lu Yanshi was feeling sad, Qu Fufeng came over and said mysteriously, "Fourth Master, maybe we can start promoting banknotes."
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Lu Yanshi became interested.
"Banknotes are much more convenient to carry than silver." Qu Fufeng expressed his thoughts.
The mainstream payment methods in Daxia are still copper coins and silver.
It is easy to get change for copper coins, but it is troublesome to get change for silver coins.
It needs to be cut with scissors and then weighed with a scale.
At this time, he missed the various convenient payment methods of later generations.
We couldn’t come up with payment via mobile phone scanning code, but now that the whole country is unified, it would be nice to have a banknote.
Lu Yanshi was shocked again.
Qu Fufeng's hometown actually allows people to swipe their savings with just their palms or even their faces.
It's amazing that no one uses cash for transactions and all the money has turned into a string of numbers.
"What do you think, Fourth Master? Now that we have unified the language and writing, it's time to unify the trading currency." Seeing that he was slow to speak, Qu Fufeng couldn't help but ask again.
"This matter requires long-term consideration." Lu Yanshi answered cautiously.
"If we use paper to replace silver, will it be copied? And how can we get the people to use this kind of silver? There are too many details to discuss."
"You are right. We can report this matter back to the capital and let the adults think of a solution. We should eat the salary of the emperor and share his worries." Qu Fufeng smiled slightly.
It's impossible for him to be working for the emperor while he is on a business trip, while others just lie down in the capital.
They are all officials, why does he have to work 996 alone while the rest of them enjoy a good life.
Roll them all up for him!
"That makes sense." Lu Yanshi ordered someone to find paper and pen, wrote down this matter, and asked someone to send a letter back.
Let the Queen discuss this matter with the ministers to see if there is a good way to prevent others from counterfeiting banknotes.
After he returns, he will decide whether to promote it.
By the time he finished writing the letter, Lu Li had already finished everything.
Wang Xiang's clam shell can hold a lot of things, but it also has limitations and can only be used in water.
So Lu Li had people throw all the gold, silver and jewelry under the waterfall.
Wang Xiang dived into the water first and opened the clam shell, and Lu Li helped him move the things into the clam shell.
"Miss Jiu, are you sure you want to throw all these away?" The guard at the side couldn't help but ask.
Meng Shanchuan already knew how powerful Lu Li was, so he slapped the silly boy on the head and said unhappily, "Just do what the lady tells you to do, why are you so long-winded?"
"Okay, okay, just throw it away. Put the things down there and no one can steal them!" Lu Li nodded confidently.
Everyone followed suit.
Lu Li jumped into the water and helped Wang Xiang stuff all the things into the clam shell.
Of course, the box buried at the bottom of the cesspool was thrown away in advance.
"Collect!" Wang Xiang closed the clam shell and knocked it several times. The clam shell became small again and he stuffed it directly into his big ear.
Lu Li was so jealous that he drooled.
"This is my house, and I only have one. I can't give it to you. I can lend it to you to store your things." Wang Xiang felt a little embarrassed when he saw her burning gaze.
"It's okay. I will have it in the future." Lu Li smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your things. I'm a good sister!"
After saying that, Lu Li took his hand and the two of them floated to the shore together.
Guards on the shore: ???
How come they don’t know when Young Master Xuan went into the water?
Lu Li sent Lu Xuan over and asked Jin Yulu to help him change his clothes. Then she wiped her wet forehead, changed her clothes with the help of her second sister, and ran to find Lu Yanshi.
"Dad, I have hidden the things. I promise no one will steal them."
"Yeah. Just hide it." Lu Yanshi already knew her plan, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Dad, aren't you curious about where I hid the things?" Now it was Lu Li's turn to be unable to hold back.
"Xiaojiu has grown up and has secrets. It's normal for him not to tell his father. If you don't tell, daddy won't ask." Lu Yanshi pretended to be nonchalant, but his voice was actually sour.
"Oh, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Lu Li quickly grabbed his legs, climbed on top of him flexibly, and hugged his neck and acted coquettishly.
"Dad, this is a big secret. You can't tell anyone else about it."
"Okay, Daddy won't tell anyone else." Lu Yanshi raised the corners of his lips, feeling much comforted.
It turns out that Xiaojiu still has him in her heart.
Lu Li told Wang Xiang about the clam shell that could grow in size. Fearing that Wang Xiang might want to take the shell, Lu Li emphasized, "Dad, you can't use that thing. The clam shell recognizes its master and only listens to Lu Xuan. We won't steal it."
"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaojiu." Hearing this, Lu Yanshi gave up the idea of lying to the child.
Since Xiaojiu was able to convince Lu Xuan to give her the things, then they were hers after all. There was no need to claim them as her own and put the royal mark on them.
"Really?" Lu Li was skeptical.
My father would take any good thing he saw into the national treasury, so how could he not want this clam shell?
"Of course it's true. When has dad ever lied to you? Among so many children, you are the one I love the most. I will be sad if you doubt me." Lu Yanshi scratched the tip of her nose.
"Daddy is the best to me! Daddy loves me the most! I love Daddy the most!" Lu Li gave him a kiss.
These three sweet words made Lu Yanshi smile brightly.
"Yes, Dad loves Xiaojiu the most. Even if Xiaojiu wants the moon in the sky, Dad will find a way to pick it down for you."
"Really?" Lu Li's eyes suddenly became sparkling.
"Then I don't want the moon. I want something that can grow bigger or smaller, something more powerful than Lu Xuan's clam shell! Then I can show off to him."
Lu Yanshi: ...
He wants something like this too!
Where can he find it?
I shouldn’t have made such random promises if I had known this earlier.
