In the third year of Jianwu in the Northern Chu Dynasty, on the second day of the third month.

A morning court opened from dawn to afternoon, and the emperor behind the curtains probably would not feel tired.

After getting off the court, Wang Xiao returned to the princess's mansion by Shicha Sea. Ying'er hurriedly called his maid to serve the food.

He ate with a smile, turned to look at Chunning, Tang Qianqian, Zuo Mingjing glanced at him and said, "Well, the new policy has been issued."

After being busy for so long, I just said something plainly.

Tang Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled slightly, saying, "With Xiaolang's temperament, I will leave you alone again, right?"

"There are officials at all levels in everything."

"Will you go to sleep for a while after dinner?" Chunning asked.

"Where are the kids?"

"Sister Yuanyuan took her to play in the side hall."

Wang Xiao yawned and said, "I'll send Dabao back to Wang's house first."

"Dabao" was named Wang Xiao by Wang Xuanye because he always thought it was strange to call him "Xuanye". He mentioned Bumu Butai so casually, but he didn't expect that there would be a child between them, and he didn't expect that she really gave the child such a name.

...

In the side hall, four children were lying on the ground to build blocks.

Xiao Daigua is only one year younger than Wang Xuanye, and she can play together.

But Xiao Daigua is obviously more naughty. Although he has never done anything out of the ordinary, he always likes to show a sly smile. His temperament is contrary to his nickname and he is not stupid at all. Instead, he is a little too spiritual. When people see him, they say that he will definitely be a romantic young man who loves to joke in the future.

Every time Wang Xuanye sang, he always felt that he was doing something shameful because of Xiao Daigua's smile.

Wang Xiao, a pair of twins born in Chunning, also named him a nickname. The boy was called "Whishe" and the girl was called "Daishe". He didn't give him a big name because Wang Xiao hadn't thought about it yet.

Anyway, the brother and sister are still young and look so silly.

Wang Xuanye is the oldest, perhaps because he is the "big brother". He seems particularly calm every time he gets along with his three younger brothers and sisters. When building blocks, he is willing to write and draw, and he reluctantly gives up the magnificent city he wants to build.

When Wang Xiao walked into the side hall, he saw their arms and legs that looked like lotus roots, and couldn't help but smile softly.

"Dad." The four children called out in unison...

Wang Xiao played with them for a while, picked up Wang Xuanye and said, "Let's go and take you back to your grandfather's house."

"Dad, why is the only elder brother going back to his grandfather's house?" Xiao Daigua asked.

"Oh? You want to go too? Let's go together."

"Then let it go." Xiao Daigua lay back again.

Wang Xiao held Wang Xuanye's hand and waved it, saying, "Goodbye to my younger brothers and sisters, and goodbye to my aunt."

"Goodbye Xiao Daigua, goodbye to write and draw, goodbye to aunt..."

"Goodbye Dabao, don't forget your gift." Chen Yuanyuan then picked up a package and handed it to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao thought she was speechless, and she learned a lot of skills. She didn't do anything serious all day long, and she liked to take care of her children...

On the way to the Wang family, Wang Xiao held him and pulled the reins for him as he wanted to ride a horse.

I have to say that half of the children of grassland blood are talented and look decent when pulling the reins.

"Dad, I miss my mother so much."

"Well, you'll see it in a while."

"I brought a gift to my mother. Will she like it?"

"It was you who gave it to her, she will like it no matter what it is."

Wang Xuanye thought for a while and whispered: "Didn't my father say he would take me to see Sister Nalan?"

Wang Xiao really forgot about this, turned around and ordered to his follower: "Next time I come to pick up Dabao, please remind me..."

Thinking of the recent busyness, he always can't remember some small things, so he felt it was necessary to find another secretary...

When they arrived at the Wang family, the father and son got off the horse. Wang smiled and said, "Can you go by yourself?"

"Okay." Wang Xuanye looked up and said, "I'll take the gift."

The gift was a big bag. Wang Xiao took it from his own hands and handed it to Wang Xuanye, allowing the little kid to carry it and leave by himself.

The Wang family is indeed big. Wang Xuanye walked on his calf for a long time, and even fell down in the middle.

Wang Xiao didn't care or urge him, so he walked slowly with him. Finally arrived at the front hall. He was watching his son climb the threshold when he saw Wang Kang rush out, pointing at his nose and scolding.

“…”

Wang Kang wanted to scold Wang Xiao too much, but after waiting for many geniuses, he didn't know where to start cursing Wang Xiao for a while. Seeing that his grandson had difficulty climbing on the threshold, he became even more angry.

"That's how you take care of your children?! Such a young child, look at you... Oh, Xuanye, get up, grandfather hug you."

"I've met my grandfather."

"Be good, look at you so tired that you are sweating and gray." Wang Kang put Wang Xuanye on the chair, turned his head to glance at Wang Xiao, and became more angry and criticized him as what happened recently.

Wang Xiao waited for him to scold him, and endured his yawn, and admitted his mistake honestly, saying, "I'll go see my elder brother first, dad, please send the treasure back to my yard. Oh, by the way, I'll pick him up in four days."

He calculated that he took Wang Xuanye to the Datai Township Villa for 22 days. According to the six days agreed with Bumubutai, he asked her to accompany the child for one day, so he would stay with her for four days, which was considered generous.

Wang Kang turned to see Wang Xuanye, and saw that the kid was sweaty and gray on his face, and there were mud marks on his knees...

This made the fierce woman feel so good? Who knows how much fire it will be? It's terrible...

He was frightened, shook his head, stroked his long beard and said, "I have no time, you can take it here."

"All right."

...

Wang Xiao stood outside the yard, looked down at Wang Xuanye, and felt very strange in his heart.

When I brought it out of my house, I was still clean and cute. Why did I become so dirty in just a short while?

Didn't do anything...

"Dabao, would you please go in by yourself?"

"Don't Dad go to see Mom?"

"Dad still has a lot to work on, come back next time."

Wang Xuanye lowered his head "Oh" and seemed a little disappointed...

Wang Xiao watched his son walk into the yard where he used to live, and for some reason he felt something strange, but he walked away before Bumubutai rushed out and got angry at him.

Taoranju.

Wang Zhen was still studying in seclusion, but he used to be lying down, but now he is lying down.

Wang smiled, looked at his wound first, and sighed for a while.

Wang Zhen himself looked distracted and smiled and said, "It's okay. He has gained a lot of weight in the past two years, and has not run fast, so he was stabbed twice, otherwise he wouldn't have been."

Wang Xiao said, "I just think it's too hard for the years."

"Brother, who will I take care of you if I don't take care of you?" Wang Zhen said: "Isn't someone going to assassinate you yesterday? We brothers face the same situation. You can handle it, but I can't handle it, which means we still have to practice martial arts and strengthen our body."

Wang Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, it's time to exercise."

"Has the new policy been promulgated?"

"Yes, I'm so sleepy from last night to now." Wang Xiao yawned and said, "But it's worth it. As long as the new law is implemented, I can conquer Nanchu around September this year."

"So fast?" Wang Zhen said in surprise.

"Brother, guess how I did it."

"I can't guess, you can tell me."

Wang Xiao said: "The key is not to fake public land, mining industry, but to issue paper money."

Wang Zhen narrowed his eyes, felt enlightened, and stood up and said, "I can understand the reserves you mentioned last time about Baochao. I also used Baochao when I founded the country, but later it gradually became less recognized by the people. I think the difference is the reserve. But in this way, Baochao is not something you can send as much as you want. What do you want to do?"

"Simply put, the court has established more state-owned commercial banks through the new policy and participated in economic activities. The salaries and wages of officials, soldiers, river workers, and miners will be distributed in the form of treasure banknotes, which can speed up the establishment of the credit system of treasure banknotes... Of course, we cannot over-issued, but we can let Nanchu pay for us."

"What does it mean to let Nanchu pay for us?"

"Well... let's say that, then I will calculate how much money I can get in the battle. I will print these treasure money first and pay it as military pay. I will treat it as an advance payment for the military pay. After the war, the silver from Nanchu will be exchanged."

Wang Xiao yawned again, too lazy to talk to Wang Zhen in detail, saying, "Anyway, this is the concept. If the elder brother is not clear about it, he can ask Fan Xueqi and I will tell him to do it. In addition, he can also issue treasury bonds, which means borrowing money from the private sector to fight, and paying them back with interest after the battle."

Wang Zhen thought for a while and pondered: "I understand what you mean, have you ever thought about it? This is very dangerous. If the Southern Expedition cannot win quickly, the prestige of the court will collapse and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I thought about it and did it because I felt confident."

"Why do you have to hurry in the past or two years? Wars are always going on every year, why not slow down?"

"Time is not waiting for me." Wang Xiao said, "I have been thinking recently that when Qin Shihuang died, he must have had many regrets in his heart. He still had so many things to do. But it took him only ten years to unify the six kingdoms, but I was still here slowly... It was indeed a matter of seizing the day."

Wang Zhen was slightly stunned.

He suddenly felt that he still didn't understand many of the third brother's thoughts.
