Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

At first, some people were skeptical about the iron money, but with all the shops in Xiejiaque County as guarantees, they no longer had any concerns. At worst, they could just exchange it all for grain or cloth, which would not be a loss.

As everyone entered the city, they discovered that the iron coins in their hands seemed to be more popular.

"Nowadays, most of the shops in the city can trade with iron coins, but a few shops including the Xie family only accept iron coins and silver. No other money is accepted." This reduces the difficulty for them to repay the money, so why not do it.

From initial disbelief to active use now, the Xie coins are showing a trend of replacing copper coins in Que County. With the payment of military salaries of the Black Stone Guards, pension subsidies, and the exchange of work points, the use of Xie coins is gradually spreading.

"This thing is so convenient! We don't have to spend effort to identify the size and type of copper coins, so it's more comfortable to do business." The vendors expressed their feelings.

"I heard that the Xie family even set up a bank specifically to recycle this iron money!"

"Hey, they don't exchange copper coins there, only silver or gold. I heard that the exchange rate is different every month, which is related to the price of iron." Someone became excited.

"What about exchanging silver for iron coins?"

"Exchange at 20% of the market price of iron ingots." Apparently someone had tried it, and the price of iron coins was strongly correlated with gold and silver. In the market, the copper standard was gradually replaced by the iron standard.

According to the trend of iron prices, a 20% loss is much more cost-effective than the shortfall of copper coins.

The noble families minted copper coins just to make money, and the copper content in the coins depended entirely on how much conscience they had.

However, Xie Xian cast iron coins in order to boost the economy. They began to rust in less than half a month, which gave people a new understanding of the purity of iron coins. Therefore, the iron coins were widely praised as soon as they were launched.

Merchants also discovered that the plasticity and toughness of these iron coins were higher than those of ordinary ironware, and there were people who specialized in collecting iron coins to make tools.

The beautiful silver-white color is less likely to deform than silver. Because it is stamped into one piece, the patterns on it are unified, showing wealth.

"So, the 100,000 iron coins we made are gone again?" Xie Xian had a question mark on her face.

"What about the recycling situation at the bank? I want the iron coins to circulate. Once they flow out, they can't come back." What the hell is this!

Qu Qing had two dark circles under his eyes and said helplessly, "There are people in Pingcheng who buy iron coins at high prices. It is said that the nobles have started to use iron coins to cast utensils."

What can he do in this situation? He can only wait until the hype is over, the market is saturated, and everyone is used to using iron money, so this situation will naturally not happen again.

But Xie Xian had a bad feeling: "What did they make with the iron coins?"

Looking at the various objects laid out in front of me, from basins, boxes, stoves, to swords, the iron coins are silver-gray and slightly shiny. The craftsmen carefully polished and preserved the unique patterns on the coins, which look like natural textures and are extremely beautiful.

Xie Xian held her forehead with her hand. These nobles are all talented when it comes to art, but could they please stop spending my money?

"They are charging a high price for iron coins. How much higher can it be?"

"More than 20%, and most of them are in Pingcheng." During this period, Qu Qing was not only responsible for the supervision of the Qionglouge, but also for various accounts of the mint. Now he is very busy every day.

Seeing that he looked like he was dying of overwork, Xie Xian was a little worried and wondered whether she should give him a few days off, but Qu Qing liked to have something to do every day.

Perhaps it was because he was ostracized by the major families in the past few years that this guy works day and night.

"When will your fellow disciples arrive?" Xie Xian was really worried. Qu Qing worked too hard. Fortunately, she specifically asked Doctor Wang to keep a close eye on him and Uncle Xie.

If there is a problem, seek treatment as soon as possible and arrange for someone to remind them of their work and rest schedules.

She didn't want Qu Qingren to die before the successor arrived.

"My fellow disciples plan to come here after the grand discussion." Qu Qing didn't say.

When his fellow brothers received his letter, they couldn't believe what he said in it. With such good conditions and treatment, he didn't even despise their reputation as a strategist?

There was also a junior fellow disciple in the sect who used code words in his reply to ask whether he was being coerced.

Qu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, blaming him for wanting his fellow apprentices to come, and writing that Black Stone Guard was a boss with a lot of money and was asked to come quickly.

However, he ignored his fellow disciples who were usually despised by the aristocratic families. The contrast was too great and hard to believe.

Qu Qing was helpless, as their Zongheng family still had a chance to revive.

He looked at the lazy appearance of the girl in red sitting in front of him with burning eyes. No one would have thought that it was such a clever girl who, with her own efforts and the Xie family's iron coins, destroyed the market for copper coins.

When the noble families used iron coins to cast utensils, they initially wanted to attack the Xie family's iron coins. However, they did not expect that the Xie family's iron coins were made of real materials and had beautiful textures. Instead, they became popular due to their quality. This was something the noble families never expected.

"If you are anxious, you might as well go to the grand gathering of elegant conversation in Kuaiji.

The world's celebrities and talents gathered there, and Kuaiji alone accounted for nine buckets of elegant conversation.

"My fellow apprentice will also go." What Qu Qing didn't say was that with the reputation of the Black Stone Guard, it was still unclear whether he could recruit people back.

But it would be a good thing as long as you don't rush him.

He was not sure, as the Kuaiji Qingtan Festival was a famous cultural feast held every year where all the major families and sects would send their elites to participate.

Xie Xian only remembered that "In the ninth year of Yonghe, in the year of Guichou, at the beginning of late spring, we met at the Lanting Pavilion in Shanyin, Kuaiji, to hold a purification ceremony."

The one we longed for the most was Liushang Qushui. When the teacher talked about this, we all sighed in our hearts that the ancients really knew how to have fun.

Pure talk is a social fashion. People do not talk about important matters in the court, but only talk about elegant things and entertainment. In the social turmoil, each family seeks spiritual sustenance in the new environment, gathers together, expresses thoughts and expresses emotions.

Once the event started, scholars and literati gathered here, and celebrities from all walks of life took this platform to show their talents and accomplishments. If their views were recognized by the public, they would be able to achieve their ideals and ambitions.

Xie Xian's eyes lit up. In her opinion, a literary gathering was nothing more than a large-scale talent exchange event.

Today, Blackstone Guard has spread its business too wide and lacks management talent, but training talent is what takes the most time.

The bottom management can be trained quickly through a dozen days of training, but there is a huge gap in middle and high-level talents. This imbalance in the system can only be supported by a few people, but this is not a long-term solution.

So when she heard about the talent market, Xie Xian said she would definitely go, even if she was looked down upon. High-end talents might not come, but more mid- and low-end talents the better.

Xie Xian's eyes lit up, "Mr. Qu, if you don't go to the prosperous times of elegant conversation, it will be a great regret in your life."

Qingdai turned her head and twitched her lips. She did not forget that a day ago, the eldest daughter Xie Yao wanted to invite Xie Xian to go to Kuaiji for a chat.

She remembered clearly that Xie Xian was slumped in the recliner at the time. She turned over and said only one sentence: "What kind of party is this? Even dogs don't go!"

Qingdai: Does your face hurt?
