Furthermore, in the past, there was a trace of confusion in the arrogant Emperor Tongzhi. It seems that not only had Xiao Letian passed on a lot of new knowledge to the emperor, he had also reconstructed the personality of the little emperor.
During the lunch banquet, everyone had only drank 4% of the liquor. They were just in the middle of the game. Even though it was very comfortable and tiring, it wasn't too much trouble. After dinner, Da Sixi wanted to go settle the bill, but Zai Chun raised his hand, ”No need, I'm rich!”
Under the dumbstruck gaze of the crowd, Zai Chun took out a leather wallet from his military uniform's pocket. Inside the wallet was a thick collection of Ryukyu Military Ticket.
The Military Ticket was one of the first banknotes that Xiao Letian released. Back when they were in Tanggu, he had even personally sent this note to the soldiers to show his appreciation for their favors.
Military Ticket s had the highest privileges out of all the paper money in the Ryukyu. There was no need to queue up to exchange the Military Ticket for gold and silver, everyone would give way to the Military Ticket.
The Military Ticket s would always receive the highest tax discount, as stated in the Prime Minister's Entrepreneurship Law. Every year, the amount of taxes paid would vary, but no matter how many Military Ticket s there were, the preferential amount would always be the highest.
Finally, Military Ticket could be bought in a few military stores. In the streets and alleys of Ryukyu, there were a few very small commodities, and they all had a common name, which was military stores.
Spending money here only accepted Military Ticket s, and other things weren't useful. Furthermore, Military Ticket s could buy some top quality goods from the black market.

In Ryukyu, if you used Real Gold and Silver to pay, they would laugh at you, saying that you were a bumpkin and using ordinary bonds to pay, everyone would think that you were a normal person.
If you want to use the checkbook issued by the Letian Bank to settle the bill, then you must be a big seller. That means you must be in politics or have a close relationship with the military.
Using Military Ticket s to pay was the most honorable thing to do. On the black market, the ratio of bonds to Military Ticket s could reach a ratio of 1: 1.5! It could be seen how popular the Military Ticket was.
Fujian Residence's fat boss saw that the guest took out the Military Ticket today, and immediately shouted, ”Third floor guest, the Military Ticket rewards …” ”Thank you!” The moment he gave the order, all the waiters on the third floor acted as if they had been rehearsed beforehand and shouted in unison, ”Thank you for your rewards, esteemed guest!”
