At this time, when they arrived at the inner hall, the four of them sat down, and His Majesty threw the dice first, and he actually rolled a nine at random.

Ninety-five, Your Majesty can even roll the dice at will to show the imperial atmosphere.

began to draw cards, and the palace maid stood behind her, fanning her fan gently, and every rhythm was very good.

"Your Majesty, the chilled watermelon is ready, do you want to bring it now?"

At this time, another young palace maid came in.

Chen Fang looked at the two palace maids who were waiting, but the palace maids on His Majesty's side had all changed, and they didn't pay attention to it just now, but they only noticed it at this time.

When I came here a few times before, the palace maids here were all older and had a very poor appearance.

As for the reason, Chen Fang also understands that His Majesty was not easy to get close to women before, and it would hurt the dragon body, so Niangniang replaced all the palace maids around His Majesty with old age and decrepitness.

Now they are all young and beautiful, and their bodies are slender, and it is obvious that His Majesty's health is indeed much better. These palace maids have probably been used by His Majesty, Li Zhi likes to play with palace maids, but he is famous, and the three eldest sons were all born to palace maids, which is enough to explain everything.

For the emperor, the women in this palace, except for blood relatives, can be used at will, and they are envious when they think about it.

Chen Fang also wants to live like this, how beautiful it is.

"Well, wait and play, virtuous son-in-law, eat watermelon first, this chilled is the best way to quench your thirst in summer."

Li Zhi left the table, Chen Fang and the two princesses hurriedly followed, naturally whatever His Majesty said, he did what he did.

"You went and got the big money I had prepared."

Li Zhi picked up a tooth of watermelon and instructed the palace maid on the side.

"Yes, the slave will go and get it!"

Chen Fang and Yiyang Gao'an also took watermelons to eat, and chilled watermelons are indeed good things in this season.

At this time, watermelons were not like later generations, they were everywhere. The current watermelons, but they are all transported by the Northern Han Dynasty, not to mention the food, they are all fresh when they have seen them, and those wealthy families are also a luxury if they want to eat it once.

In this palace, you can eat at will, after all, the best nature in this era is close to the royal family.

I heard that His Majesty's mother also asked people to plant some watermelons after the New Year, but it doesn't seem to be how to grow them, probably because they can't do it.

After eating a tooth of watermelon, Chen Fang saw the two palace maids work hard to carry the money back.

The money of the Tang Dynasty generally refers to Kaiyuan Tongbao, which was made in imitation of the Han five baht during the Tang Gaozu. Kaiyuan Tongbao is a non-year money, and it has nothing to do with Tang Xuanzong's Kaiyuan year name.

Generally, one Kaiyuan Tongbao weighs one penny, and every ten Wen weighs one tael.

Each text Kaiyuan Tongbao is equivalent to about four grams of weight in later generations.

However, the consistent money carried by these two palace maids is obviously not Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is much larger than Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Chen Fang also knew that this money was the Qianfengquan treasure coin that His Majesty had once minted, and it was also the second type of coin minted by the Tang Dynasty.

Each Qianfeng Quanbao coin is equivalent to about 13.4 grams of measurement in later generations, which is obviously far heavier than the four grams of Kaiyuan Tongbao circulating in Datang, so it is also called big money.

At that time, when His Majesty minted this money, he wanted to use this money to replace Kaiyuan Tongbao, and one was ten.

However, due to the confusion of the currency system and the resistance of merchants, the money was not minted much, which was basically equivalent to being abolished.

Speaking of which, it is a small mistake of His Majesty.

Afterwards, His Majesty said that Gaozu minted Kaiyuan Tongbao, and Taizong did not mint new coins, and he continued to use them, but he wanted to mint new coins.

Obviously, His Majesty is a little concerned about the matter of casting the treasure money of the Sealed Spring.

At this time, the circulation of the Tang Dynasty was still Kaiyuan Tongbao, and His Majesty also personally said that Kaiyuan Tongbao was the law of eternity.

It means that you don't need to mint new money in the future, just use Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Kaiyuan Tongbao is indeed a Tang currency with the longest circulation time in the original history.

The consistent money carried by these two palace maids, a full 1,000 pieces at this time, weighs about 13.4 kilograms, which is indeed heavy enough, no wonder it is hard to carry.

You must know that the vats of drinking water sold in supermarkets in later generations are only four liters, and the weight is only four kilograms. That's about four and a half barrels of drinking water.

At this time, the two palace maids brought the money in, and loosened the cowhide rope that strung the money, and the thousand Qianfeng Quanbao coins were divided into four parts, and the table with mahjong was placed.

At this time, the chilled watermelon had also been eaten, and His Majesty walked to the mahjong table, but did not sit down, but took a dry sealed spring treasure coin and held it in his hand.

This money is huge, it needs a diameter of thirty-three millimeters, which is far greater than Kaiyuan Tongbao, Li Zhi played with it a few times, but looked at Chen Fang.

"Virtuous son-in-law, do you know why I left these Qianfeng Spring Treasure Money?"

Li Zhi suddenly looked at Chen Fang and asked.

"Your Majesty's thoughts, how can the minister guess."

"It's okay to guess, it's all family here, and there are no outsiders, the three of you can talk about it!"

Li Zhi said a word at this time, but asked his two daughters and the concubine to explain why he kept these basically abolished Qianfeng Spring treasure money.

Here, Gao An had already begun to scratch his head, and Yiyang also felt that it was difficult to guess, but he looked at his horse.

As for Chen Fang, he also pinched a Qianfeng Quanbao coin at this time, this money is obviously often played with, the corners are very smooth, the words inside are a little bright, and there is no rust on the surface.

All copper coins that are often not used will inevitably have patina, but this money is like this, which means that it is often held in the hand.

"Father, I'll guess first!"

"Well, Gao An, you say it first."

"My father kept this money to keep some thoughts, after all, it was the only coin my father had ever minted."

"My An'er has also grown up, and what you said is right."

Li Zhi praised Gao An, and Gao An smiled happily.

Li Zhi looked at his eldest daughter and son-in-law at this time.

"Which of you two will speak first?"

"Your Highness, please!"

"Father, Yiyang thinks that his father kept these coins because he left some thoughts, and secondly, to keep himself awake from time to time."

Chen Fang looked at his daughter-in-law, his daughter-in-law really dared to say. However, what the daughter-in-law said is true, His Majesty must have kept this money to warn himself.

At this time, Li Zhi looked at Chen Fang.

"Virtuous son-in-law, tell me what I am always alert to?"

Chen Fang was depressed, looked at Li Zhi, and then at Yiyang, this problem His Majesty gave himself.

Well, since Your Majesty asked, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb.

And His Majesty also said it before, it's just family gossip, but you don't have to worry too much.

"Your Majesty, Gu Chen knows that after the minting of this Qianfengquan treasure coin, it flowed into the market, which caused chaos in the Datang currency system, and many merchants and traders complained bitterly."

"This coinage, but for Your Majesty is a mistake, Your Majesty keeps these Qianfeng Spring treasure money, but as Emperor Taizong said, with history as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Your Majesty is using this Qianfeng Spring Treasure Money to remind yourself from time to time, don't be..."

Chen Fang was going to say not to make this mistake again, but after all, this is His Majesty, but it is difficult to speak, and he hesitates there.

"When an old horse stumbles, people will always make mistakes, even me."

Li Zhi saw that Chen Fang hesitated, and said calmly at this time.
