Chapter 402 Emperor Song Tongbao
The liveliness of Xuande Gate has not subsided with Zhao Zhen's departure, and it stands to reason that the gate of the palace is the outer courtyard of Zhao Zhen's house, and the opportunity to cheer at the door of the emperor's house is only once a year.
Naturally, the small traders and vendors should not be missed, pushing small carts with exquisite food constantly shuttling through the crowd, and there will be no catch to spoil such a good atmosphere at this time.
And the people don't care, who cares about these convenient people at this time?
That's right, it's really convenient for everyone, because the royal street has become a huge stage, and the Song people have a passion for entertainment performances that is not lost to future generations, and this time the praise of Zhao Zhen's cultural and martial arts also gave the people a good time to celebrate.
Medicine puppets, lantern floats, singing and dancing performances, endlessly, and even a mining shed has been set up on the wide royal street!
While the people were singing and dancing, Zhao Zhen was coaxing his children to sleep in the imperial study.
In Zhao Zhen's view, it is a great pleasure to have both children and daughters, enjoying the laughter of children, Zhao Zhen shook the crib while reviewing the folds, which has become his habit, and he feels that he has not done anything if he doesn't look at it for a day.
Most of today's recitals are congratulatory words, Zhao Zhen is boring after a little review, it seems that the courtiers are doing very well today, and even they don't want to mention those cumbersome political affairs.
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly: "Cai Ji's restaurant is afraid that it will be full again." ”
Sancai on the side said with a smile: "What the official family said is that the courtiers eat and drink a lot today, and the official family's income is a lot!" ”
Zhao Zhen pointed at Sancai: "If you let the ministers listen to this, you should really be beaten." Sent someone to send Ling'er and a few people back to the palace, but I always stayed here and neglected the queen. ”
"Slaves obey ......"
Sancai felt bitter in his heart, those two wished that the princes would stay in front of the official family, that is, Vera wanted Ling'er to go back to accompany her the most, but Ling'er liked to stick to the official family.
The two princes were sent away, but Ling'er woke up and was reluctant to leave, Zhao Zhen picked up the brush and said: "If you don't leave, write big characters!" ”
Ling'er, who was splashing and rolling, immediately got up and ran quickly like a rabbit, and a few jumps disappeared at the gate of the palace, this little girl and his second brother hate dancing and writing the most, but Zhao Xu likes these the most, and it is an hour or two on the small desk.
It seems that the little guy is not a master who likes to dance and write......
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it, anyway, she is a royal princess, and she won't rely on those talents such as poetry and songs to attract young talents in the future.
For his daughter's future, Zhao Zhen has long planned it, as long as Ling'er is happy, he can marry whoever he wants, Zhao Zhen is not short of money, there is no need to "sell" his daughter, and today's Great Song Dynasty does not need to be close, the Great Song Dynasty has not said a kiss since Taizu came, and it is also a rare dynasty in Chinese history that is not in harmony.
This is mainly determined by the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty towards the outside world...... Seek peace from the outside, strictly guard inside, and wait for the opportunity to eliminate it.
As for the problem of the son, it is better to leave time to solve it, Zhao Zhen doesn't want to announce who is the crown prince in the foreign court too early, Zhao Zhen had no children before, and the courtiers were worried that the emperor and Song had no heirs, and now Zhao Zhen has two heirs, who will find this kind of discomfort?
No one mentioned the Green Car Festival anymore, and even Zhao Yunrang followed suit, after all, as a clan, he had no chance.
But in the ban, even Sancai knows who will be the future prince, which is a matter that has been set early, after all, the son of the queen's mother is the eldest son, and his temperament is the most gentle and steady, quite the style of the official family.
Ling'er slipped back quietly, and Zhao Zhen helplessly watched her daughter crawl on the huge woolen carpet, and went straight under her desk before she became honest, and the desk was covered with gorgeous satin, as if it was Zhao Ling'er's secret base.
The note on the table has almost been read, most of them are the ministers of the two governments and the courtiers, only one of the blue notes attracted Zhao Zhen's attention, this is about the controversy over the name of the new batch of copper coins, the money minted in the Song Dynasty is called "Yuanbao" and named with the year name. Now it is the first year of Baoyuan, and the money minted should be called "Baoyuan Tongbao", Zhao Zhen asked the Academy to discuss, and the Academy requested to change it to "Fengji Yuanbao".
Fengji ingots? Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly, it seems that the academy has not understood what he means, he is asking them to use a Tongbao that can be issued in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, instead of always changing the Tongbao, and even the name is amorphous, how to ensure the strength of the Great Song Dynasty money?
Mention the royal pen in the final royal approval of the Emperor Song Tongbao four words, and add a note: "The Great Song Dynasty money is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, every time the year name is changed, Tongbao is also changed, it is really a lot of money, consulting in the name of the Emperor Song Tongbao, non-canon can not change!" ”
Gently putting down the pen, Zhao Zhen turned his head to Sancai and said, "Send this book to the academy." ”
Sancai took the song and looked at the sky outside, the moon had gradually sunk in the west, and the naughty princess was also asleep under the imperial case, and gave the last bowl of tea to Zhao Zhen and continued: "The official family is almost here, and it is slightly cold tonight......"
Zhao Zhen nodded: "Send someone to send Ling'er back, I think of some things, I'm afraid I will forget after going to bed, and then refill a pot of tea." ”
Sancai was slightly surprised, the original official family would never stay up so late, the usual official life is very regular, and pay attention to health, even if the political affairs are too busy, they will not stay up late, unless there is an emergency military situation.
Sancai raised his eyelids, and the official family used a yellow floral edict document, which was usually issued to Sanji......
Zhao Zhen is indeed giving an order to the three divisions, through the Tongbao incident just now, he remembered the recent money shortage, yes, the rich Great Song Dynasty has also begun to face a money shortage, there is a money shortage in the land of Jianghuai, and the vicinity of Kaifeng Mansion is slightly better.
This is mainly due to the outflow of a large number of copper coins from the Great Song Dynasty, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty traded with Japan, Southeast Asia, Arabia and other places, and the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty were of fine texture and exquisite patterns in their opinion, and copper was also an important metal, so naturally the Song Dynasty money almost became the international currency of the trade area.
Japan's cool people stop at copper coins, and when they trade with the Song people, they must also make an agreement with small flat money, and order their country, small flat money is allowed to enter but not out, and Java also exchanges pepper for Song money.
And a person who gave joy said: Qian was originally a treasure of China, and now it is commonly used by barbarians in all directions. Get Chinese money, store it in the warehouse, and think it is the treasure of the town. Therefore, those who enter Tibet do not go to the copper coins, and the goods are not copper coins and are not sold.
Tonight's Emperor Song Tongbao matter, so that Zhao Zhen began to pay more urgent attention to paper money, the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty may not last long, and the three currencies of gold, silver and copper may be able to support for a while and a half, the land of Yunnan has just been returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the output of Yunnan copper will take a while.
Zhao Zhen can only start the initial implementation of paper money experiments in China, at least let the country solve the problem of money shortage first, otherwise the economy of the Great Song Dynasty will become slow, which is the last thing Zhao Zhen wants to see.
