You should know that many of the previous ideological debates were all chosen by Han Yi. Even if it was not Han Yi, it had a lot to do with Han Yi. However, this time Han Yi has always remained neutral and almost disappeared from everyone's sight.

From this we can see that his identity and Wu Meiniang have changed. In the past, he was at the forefront, taking the blame or blocking the knife, and it was him. It was not that he had this kind of hobby, but that he had no choice at that time. If he wanted to get on the throne, he had to lead the way and take on all dirty and tiring work. Now that Wu Meiniang has returned to the court, she also needs to get on the throne, so of course she had to rush to the forefront.

Han Yi is already a god-like existence in the hearts of the people and no longer needs to take the blame.

He has now reached the level of Li Ji. He doesn't speak much and is relatively leisurely. He tries to focus his attention on his family. All day long, he either stays with Mudan and Wuyi, or writes with Feixue at the Yang family, or goes to Chen Shuozhen's place, and even picks up Han Xuanpin and Han Rui to and from school.

However, as the Northwest Trade Caravan arrived in Chang'an, Han Yi seemed a little busy, because Zhang Daxiang had already gone to Liangzhou, and he was the one who was responsible for Chang'an.

"Haha! Isn't it a pity if you have friends coming from afar!"

Han Yi strode out, spread his arms to welcome Wu Kelie and Yigu who were visiting the northwest merchants.

He gave them a hug each of them very enthusiastically.

"Wow! Your outfits are really good!"

Han Yi grabbed Wu Kelie's arm and looked them up and down.

I saw that all of them were high leather boots, breeches, wool coats, and their release, so they were so handsome.

Wu Kelie laughed and said, "This is all given to us by Mr. Zheng. We also think it looks pretty good. The key is that it is convenient to walk. We are also planning to buy a lot of these clothes from the beauty of freedom. It is indeed convenient to wear."

They are not as particular as the people in the Central Plains. They are very convenient for clothing, because their herdsmen have to run outside every day and serve in a new way, and they feel that it is very suitable for their lives.

Han Yi let go of Wu Kelie and smiled and said, "Then Zheng Shanxing is really good at doing business. After giving away so many items, he got a big order."

"What's this more than Brother Han, you're here." Wu Kelie laughed and said, "Brother Han, you are really a god!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "How big is this to ask me for it, and I will flatter you as soon as I meet you."

"No, no!"

Wu Kelie shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is my heartfelt words. When we left Chang'an, the entire Guanzhong area was in depression. We were deeply worried about it. But this time, let alone Chang'an, Liangzhou has become more prosperous than before. It is incredible. This is really incredible."

The other businessmen also nodded.

Before they came, they were still a little nervous, thinking that such a large amount of trade could be swallowed up by the extremely bad situation in the Central Plains, but as soon as they arrived in Liangzhou, the goods they brought were almost sold.

Han Yi said excitedly: "I told you before that crisis is just a small storm for our Tang Dynasty. As long as my Tang Dynasty is still there, it is not a big deal to recover immediately. Let's go and talk about it."

When he came to the house, before Han Yi asked them to sit down, Wu Kelie said, "Brother Han has helped us a lot over the years. It can even be said that without Brother Han, there would be no us today. I hope Brother Han will accept this little bit of meager gift."

His followers immediately came forward with gifts.

When the first box was opened, I saw a piece of ruby ​​inside, as big as an egg.

The gems these days have no artificial products, they are all purely natural.

Han Yi was a consignee and said, "This is such a treasure! Where did you get it?"

Wu Kelie smiled and said, "I want to hide it from Brother Han. This gem was originally set on the crown of the Persian queen. After the Persia was destroyed by the Dashi in recent years, the gem fell into the hands of the Dashi merchant. I specially bought it for Brother Han."

Han Yi nodded a little moved and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but don't give this thing to me, go and give it to the queen." He thought to himself, my ladies, you give it to me a gem, and I can't find a second piece of this thing, who do you want me to give it to?

"Queen?"

Wu Kelie was stunned. He was in Chang'an during that crisis, and his impression of the queen was extremely bad!

Han Yi coughed lightly and said, "That crisis was not the queen's original intention, it was created by Li Yifu and others. And if you give me the things on the crown, it will be good for me to spread it."

Wu Kelie knew many taboos in the Central Plains and hurriedly said, "Sorry, sorry, this is something we lacked in consideration."

Han Yi is now their belief. He is not a very noble gift, so he dare not give it to Han Yi. They believe that only the gems on the crown can be given to Han Yi.

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I appreciate your kindness."

"Brother Han, you can't collect this gem, but you must collect this carpet!" Yigu suddenly said: "This is a carpet weaved by our northwest women and asked us to give it to Brother Han, expressing his gratitude to Brother Han."

Four servants opened a wool carpet and could be directly spread on the hall of Xiao Mansion. It can be seen that the carpet is not ordinary big and has very exquisite patterns on it.

Han Yi seemed very interested in this, walked up and stroked the carpet and said, "This carpet is really exquisite!"

This is what later generations call Hotan rugs, even in later generations, were purely hand-woven and not cheap.

Wu Kelie smiled and said, "It's good if Brother Han likes it!"

"I like it very much." Han Yi said again: "But you should sell such a good product in Zhongyuan, and you can sell it as a high-end product, which can bring wealth to the vast majority of Northwest women."

Wu Kelie laughed and said, "Brother Han always remembers our people in the northwest. We are really moved! To be honest, we brought a total of 1,000 pieces this time we came here, but we sold it almost the same when we arrived in Liangzhou. I only left fifty pieces to bring to Chang'an, and ten of them were given to Brother Han. These are the little thoughts of women from all the states and counties in the northwest. But we are also preparing to produce such carpets on a large scale."

Han Yi's reputation in the northwest region is beyond the imagination of many people. From women to children, they all like Han Yi very much. Han Yi's deeds have been compiled into stories there.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm more respectful than obedient."

In addition to the carpet, they also gave Han Yi some very expensive medicinal materials, and Han Yi accepted them all with a smile and asked them to sit down.

"I heard that the goods you brought this time are twice as much as the last time. It seems that the Northwest has developed very well!" Han Yi said with a smile.

Wu Kelie hurriedly said, "This is thanks to Brother Han. If Brother Han hadn't told us how to produce leather, wool and grow cash crops on a large scale, what would be the northwest region today? Our northwest herders would have hoped that Brother Han would go to the northwest for a walk."

"It's a chance to have something to do, after all, I'm still so young." Han Yi smiled.

“That’s, that’s.”

Wu Kelie and the others burst into laughter.

Han Yi said again: "But now I have to ask you to tell me about the development of the Northwest."

Wu Kelie hurriedly said, "Lease and medicinal materials, let's not talk about it for now. Does Brother Han know what everyone calls Beiting now?"

Han Yi shook his head.

"Little Chang'an."

"Little Chang'an?"

Wu Kelie nodded and said, "This is all because of Brother Han's northwest plan, which has led many people in the Central Plains to go to Beiting. Now Beiting is speaking Guanzhong dialect, and they have brought in arable land technology, which has increased the arable land in our northwest exponentially."

Han Yi said in surprise: "This is a good thing!"

Agriculture can make the northwest region more stable and further expand trade between the two sides. The basis of all trade in grain. Without food, who will produce other products?

Wu Kelie smiled and nodded, and said, "In addition, Beiting and the Protectorate have also established many Tang Dynasty academies. Our children are all learning Chinese characters, but this is thanks to Protector Pei."

Han Yi said with an oh, "How do you say this?"

Wu Kelie said: "When we first established the college, our children found it very difficult to learn, and some of them were unwilling to learn it. Later, Pei Duhu used the fairy tale of the man in white as a textbook. Now our children all want to go to school and learn Chinese characters. Now all the northwest states are building colleges."

"There is still something!" Han Yi thought to herself that she would tell Feixue about this later so that she could be happy.

Yi Gu said, "I don't know who the man in white is. My youngest son, I hope I can see this man in white, but after we inquired, we learned that only Brother Han, you will know."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I want to tell you too, but I signed a confidentiality contract with the man in white, so I can't say that."

Yi Gu said regretfully: "That's it, then-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Han Yi smiled apologetically and then said, "If the northwest develops well, then I will feel at ease. After all, I have spent a lot of effort on the northwest."

"That's right, that's right, so our people in the northwest are very grateful to Brother Han." Wu Kelie nodded repeatedly.

Yi Gu suddenly said, "Brother Han, there is actually something that has been bothering us all the time. I originally wanted to come to talk to Brother Han this time, but I didn't expect that when I arrived in Chang'an, I found that Brother Han had solved this problem."

Han Yi said curiously: "What's the matter?"

"It's currency." Yi Gu said.

Wu Kelie hurriedly added: "It's true. In recent years, the business in the northwest has developed very well. There are two very large markets in Beiting and Dadupu, and it may not be as good as Liangzhou and Chang'an. But we have always bartered goods, and at most we use silk from the Central Plains as currency. However, it is not convenient to hold silk after all, especially when buying small items. We originally wanted to exchange some copper coins from the Central Plains, but it is inconvenient to transport copper coins, and there are not many copper coins in the Central Plains. However, after we came to Chang'an, we found that the people in Chang'an were using brand new vouchers, and we also specially exchanged a lot of vouchers."

As he said that, he took out a wallet from his arms.

Han Yi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, where did your bag come from?"

Wu Kelie was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "This is also given to us by Mr. Zheng, and it is specially used to prepare vouchers."

"It's strange." Han Yi said: "Why didn't I see the beauty of freedom selling this wallet?"

Wu Kelie said: "It is said that even though it has not started selling."

It's outrageous to say that Zheng Shanxing didn't give me any of this stuff. Han Yi said, "It looks easy to use." He seemed extremely happy. This is the wallet. He has seen too many of it, but this is the wisdom of the contemporary people, not brought by him. He was very excited to see everything invented by the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, the ones he invented made him feel very bored. It was purely just following the process and serving his plans. That's all, his perfume sold so well, and he has been monopolized to this day, and he doesn't want to mention it.

"But when it comes to being useful, vouchers are still easy to use." Wu Kelie took out a thick stack of vouchers from his wallet and said excitedly: "This voucher is really convenient to use. Do you see if you can also issue such vouchers in our northwest region."

They are more eager for money than Zhongyuan, because they have never had money. Now that business is developing so rapidly, if there is money, it will be more able to stimulate the economic development of the northwest. This is very beneficial to merchants. They originally wanted to exchange some copper coins for going back, but there are no copper coins on the market, and they all use vouchers. They like vouchers very much, and it is too convenient to use them.

Han Yi said: "You should know that vouchers are just substitutes for copper coins, and the picture is just for convenience. Vouchers themselves are worthless. If they want to be promoted in the northwest, the court needs to be carefully considered."

"It's okay!" Yigu said excitedly: "We people in the northwest usually go to the market and buy most of the products in Central Plains. As long as the coupons can be purchased, it is valuable. As for whether they can be exchanged for copper coins, it is only second, and we don't care."

Wu Kelie also said: "Brother Han, you really don't know how eager our northwest region is to own currency. We merchants are now sending silk to herders, even salt and paper. But it is really inconvenient to carry silk and salt to buy things every day. If we own currency, our northwest economy will definitely be able to go to a higher level."

"That's how it works!"

Han Yi frowned. Promoting vouchers in the Northwest was of course his plan. As long as the currency was unified, the two sides would be more closely connected. But the problem is that the Central Plains has not been promoted for a long time, and the entire system has not yet matured. Even this policy is only temporary. He did not expect that Wu Kelie and others were already considering currency, which shows that the economy of the Northwest is developing rapidly. If there is not a large enough economic scale, this currency is optional. It is because of frequent transactions that they desire currency. He said: "You must know that the court issued vouchers this time as a long-term policy, mainly because the court cannot fill the gap in currency on the market in a short period of time."

Wu Kelie said: "The vacancy in the northwest is even bigger. Even if it is temporary, we will accept it. As long as the court guarantees that the vouchers can be exchanged for goods from the Central Plains."

You guys are so sensible! Seeing that they seemed to be determined to ask for this voucher, Han Yi could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, I will discuss with His Majesty and other ministers at that time to see if this voucher can be promoted in the Northwest region as soon as possible."

"Then we are waiting for the good news from Brother Han!"

Wu Kelie, Yi Gu, they all seemed very excited.

They are indeed too eager for money. For them, they consider not copper coins, but purchasing power, and can only buy goods from the Central Plains, which is valuable.
