It is said that in order to design this kind of work clothes, Li Guangdi and others did take a lot of painstaking work, originally according to Lin Feng's meaning, the Han army context military attache Zuo should take "reviving the great cause of the Han Dynasty as its own responsibility", then under the guidance of this "spirit" god, the official uniform of the Lin Han Empire should be like the clothing style of the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, but this idea was quickly broken, because when the tailors really put that kind of "Eguan Bo belt" When it came out, the civil and military officials, including many Confucians, were immediately suppressed, although there were many people who opened their mouths and closed their mouths about the ancient teachings of the saints and the retro worship of rites, but this is just talking, the so-called "rule of three generations" is more like a communist society and the like, the slogan is a slogan, it does not mean that everyone really intends to do this, so when the sample is put out, everyone feels how to look how awkward, so everyone has written a book, asking His Royal Highness the King of Han to "think carefully, should change the times (note: it means to adapt to the changes of the times, has nothing to do with the thief), test people's feelings", change to a more suitable work clothes, in order to show the official authority of the Han Dynasty.

To be honest, of course Lin Feng doesn't think the traditional Hanfu is ugly, in fact, he thinks that this kind of large-sleeved wide robe is indeed very glorious and luxurious, no matter what, it is more aristocratic than that tuxedo, but it is a pity that it looks good, if you wear it to the street or work, it may be a little inappropriate.

So in this state of mind, the civilian officials who were originally very yearning for the military uniforms of the Han army jumped out and shouted that they wanted to "drive away the Hu and change customs, and be the first of a generation", and the big truth was a basket, and the final meaning was that the civil officials of the Han Dynasty should wear the same kind of dazzling work clothes as the military attachés.

This matter became very interesting later, originally in Lin Feng's mind, changing clothes should not be a big deal, of course, this is only his personal idea, in fact, the Chinese also attach great importance to clothing, the so-called "clothing, food, housing and transportation", this dress and hat is ranked first, so no matter what decision the Han court makes on clothing reform, it will definitely have a significant impact on tens of millions of people under its rule, which can actually be seen in the original pseudo-Qing rule: an order, Tens of millions of people across the country immediately wore braided heads, clear water robes, horse coats, melon skin hats, and the Forbidden City held a meeting every morning, and hundreds of officials went there to stand and get rid of a zombie gathering.

The current Han civil official uniform is a newly created style, compared with the previous dynasty, it is a bit of a taste of connecting the previous and the next, because of the influence of military uniforms, the original very wide official robe was tightened more tightly, the front row of buttons in front of the 'chest' extends from the shoulders to the ribs, it looks like a lot of 'fine', the crown and hat are modeled after the former Ming, with black yarn as a memory, and the belt wears 'jade' stone, which is distinguished according to the size of the rank, and the original symbol of China's special 'color' complement has also been selectively retained, and the civil official right' If the civil official is 'mixed' to the level of Li Guangdi, the bird on the patch is a crane, and if the military general is promoted to the rank of general, he can be decorated with a unicorn. This hierarchical honor can even extend to parents and wives, such as the bestow, the canon, and the ordination, which in this day and age were regarded as honorable things for the ancestors, and the king, if used properly, could surely make people die willingly and generously.

Now this kind of clothing is widely popular in the territory of the Han Dynasty, won the love of the gentry and the people, in fact, in terms of style, this set of clothes compared with the traditional Hanfu has not changed much, the only difference is the creation of the concept of metal buttons, and then the waist and hem are shortened, do things more refreshing only, finishing and publishing in ωар.ㄧбΚ.Сn If you must say that it is very "beautiful, generous" it is absolutely, and the aesthetic concept of human beings is very different. The Mongolian ancients wore leather robes for the beauty, and the Manchurians liked to wear cheongsams to step on the bottom of the 'flower' pot, and even if the Central Plains was in the interior, the aesthetic differences between the provinces were not small, and now this kind of clothing is popular only because the Lin and Han empires were strong, and the Chinese people were accustomed to 'sex' to worship prestige and fear power, and they liked to blindly obey and follow suit.

The only thing that made Lin Feng feel a little unpleasant was that out of the habitual 'nature' of the feudal hierarchy, when the new Hanfu had just been introduced less than two months ago, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Rites of the Han Dynasty quickly concocted a list of restrictions on the clothing of the common people with amazing efficiency, and made various restrictions on the clothes of the common people, listing in detail "except for officials and those who have meritorious fame", what materials are not allowed to be used in the clothes of the common people, how many buttons are not allowed, and what things are not allowed to be decorated on the hats. The prerogatives of officials in this area are clearly declared.

Gu Yanwu's complement is a peacock, and now he is in the Lin Han court in charge of the country's prince to supervise the wine, the Ministry of Rites to collect the relics, and the Han Wangfu 'servant', the rank is from the third grade, which looks a bit inconspicuous, but in terms of rank, he is definitely a high-ranking official in Beijing. In the new official reform, the original Prime Minister's Office was abolished and replaced by the cabinet, and Li Guang, a scholar of the first auxiliary university, had a high status and power, and was in charge of the people's livelihood and money, and the rank was only the second grade. Therefore, at the beginning of the new dynasty, Gu Yanwu was able to be awarded a third-grade high-ranking official, and in any case, it can be regarded as "deep grace".

However, the official position belongs to the official position, on this point, no one dares to say anything about the Han Dynasty and the civil and military, Mr. Gu Yanwu is famous all over the world, and everyone admires him, when it comes to learning, 95% of the officials have to kneel and kowtow when they see him, and then call themselves "late life", the king of Han humbly begged him to stay in Beijing, clearly looking at the guest qing, but according to traditional customs, it is more appropriate to say that it has to be called "emperor" - such a good person, who dares to disagree, that is, Li Xiangye, Zhou Sima (Note: according to the social habits of the seventeenth century, At that time, Yimei was still the secretary of the military department, and here was another name for the chief of the general staff of the Han Army) and other big figures, if you don't want to dump him, you won't dump him, and if you want to give your face 'color', you can give your face 'color', who would dare to take him ? ! However, although Gu Yanwu's grade is indeed not low, this does not mean that he has real power, in fact, there is a military commander privy envoy among the top few real power figures in the Han Dynasty, and the rank is only from the fourth grade, and the military rank is only a colonel, but the king of Han is obedient to him, and he is very favored, and the people in the court and China are looking to chase Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei and other bigwigs, which shows that power and rank are sometimes not necessarily unified.

As before, Gu Yanwu saw Lin Feng and saluted hastily, "Minister, the 'servant' of Chinese culture talks about Gu Yanwu, and I meet His Royal Highness the King of Han - King Han Chitose!" ”

"Sir, please get up!! - Sit here! After Gu Yanwu sat down, Lin Feng said with a smile, "The old gentleman is here today, I'm afraid there is a big reason to talk about, right?!" ”

"Forgive me!" Gu Yanwu didn't answer Lin Feng's words, he 'smoked' a cigarette pouch from his boots with a big grin, lit the fire with a snap, and swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog to himself, "Actually, it's not a big deal, today the old minister suddenly became interested and wanted to talk to His Highness!" ”

Lin Feng smiled dumbly, now in this world, there is only such a person who will suddenly come to himself and say, there is nothing to do, I will talk to you. However, he just likes Gu Yanwu's temperament, but he frowned on his face and said, "Hey, I said Gu Lao, your joke is too big, the widow has a lot of opportunities, and time is very tight!" - What are you trying to say this time?! ”

Gu Yanwu scoffed, as a remnant of the Ministry of Rites, he knows this matter best, but the recent reform of the imperial court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are busy and crazy, just he is a Han king who has nothing to do all day long, and now the cabinet team has just been set up, and the documents are all clear, he Han Wang can't receive the report, so how can he be busy? ! He held the pipe and knocked lightly on the edge of the table, "King Han, what do you want to hear?!" ”

That's weird, aren't you looking for me?! Lin Feng smiled and said, "What the old gentleman wants to say, the widow will listen to it!" ”

"That's good!" Gu Yanwu nodded, "I heard that our Dahan is going to mint new money from Dahan?!" ”

"There's such a thing!" Lin Feng nodded in affirmation, turned his head to look at Gu Yanwu, and said in surprise, "Your old man won't know, right?" In the past, our Han Dynasty military and political tension, there were many wars, so this internal affairs is a bit unrepaired, now the people under our rule are still using Shunzhi Tongbao or Kangxi Tongbao, I heard that Liaodong and North Korea, Dongying and other remote places still use Chongzhen money - such a ridiculous thing, naturally not to be listened to and let it go, and now my Han Shuntian should be named, change the Yuan name system, of course, to cast 'Yuanxing Tongbao', to think that the people are circulating! ”

"This is natural," Gu Yanwu said with a smile, "It's hard for His Royal Highness to be proud of the next generation, and he actually pays attention to this trivial matter, and the old minister admires it so much - but how does His Highness plan to mint copper coins?!" ”

Lin Feng looked at Gu Yanwu suspiciously, this was a bit incomprehensible, did he mean the smelting method of minting copper coins or the administrative 'operation' method?!

"Oh, aphasia, aphasia!" Gu Yanwu saw that Lin Feng was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, waved his hand and said, "The old minister wants to ask, are you planning to let that ya' 'door' '' handle this matter?!" ”

Lin Feng became more and more strange, he didn't believe that Gu Yanwu didn't even know about this, and replied casually, "Of course, the household department sent inspectors, and the Ministry of Industry has sent craftsmen?!" ”

"Hehe, yes, this is the method worn by the ancestors, and it has been the case in all dynasties!" Gu Yanwu nodded with a smile, and smiled at Lin Feng, "It's not surprising that King Han obeys it like this!" ”

What the hell is he trying to say?! Lin Feng immediately cheered up and looked at Gu Yanwu fixedly, "Old man, since you say so, there must be a different strategy?!" ”

"Exactly!!" Gu Yanwu really nodded, casually put the cigarette pouch on the table, and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, how is my financial resources now?!" ”

"Finance?! ......" Lin Feng was slightly startled, and then laughed loudly, "My Han has always had abundant financial resources!" - Why did you say that, sir?! ”

"Abundance?!" Gu Yanwu shook his head and smiled, and said disdainfully, "Not necessarily, right?!" ”

Lin Feng coughed, "Old Gu—what do you mean by that?!" ”

"Okay!" Gu Yanwu smiled and nodded, "His Royal Highness has been cared for, and he has been in Beijing for a long time, so I can still hear some things about the past of the Han Dynasty, and I will calculate the silver for the king here for a long time!" ”

He coughed and lifted the 'spirit' Shinto, "At the beginning of my Han army, I wiped out the puppet Qing court and collected its treasury and internal money, which is said to be equivalent to about 40 million taels of silver, right?!" ”

Lin Feng hesitated slightly, then nodded, "Not bad!" ”

"This reserve war, army expansion, surrender, reward meritorious people, etc., the battle against Tuhai, in just half a year, nearly 12 million taels were used, right?!"

Lin Feng had a headache when he thought of this matter, this army is really a big investment, it is really a money-burning thing, and he said with a sullen face at the moment, "I got more than 600,000 yuan by capturing Tianjin and Baoding, but in order to clean up people's hearts, appease the place, appease the surrendering officials, and dismiss the prisoners, I 'spent' a lot, and the total amount is more than 13.5 million taels!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Han has done an excellent job in this matter! Throughout the ages, many heroes and heroes who have risen up have been stingy with yellow and white things, and as a result, they have lost the hearts of the people, and the king of Han has rested in a place for a few months, gathering people's hearts, and within a year and raising troops in all directions, everyone serves their lives, in addition to the righteousness of the people's hearts, this silver has helped a lot!! Gu Yanwu smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Many people say that the king of Han was too reckless at the beginning of his establishment, the distribution of silver money was too widespread, and the views of true scholars are also, you must know that the rabble is forbidden, and there is no other way except Enwei - Your Highness, you know that you have won the hearts of soldiers in these months, so you are undefeated, hehe, from the micro knowledge, the king of Han is really a person who does great things!" ”

"Where, where," Lin Feng felt much better in his heart, and smiled at the moment, "Mr. is too polite!" ”

"After getting Zhili, King Han did three major things, one is to open the port of Tianjin, start a big ship, and take the sea route to the north and south, I heard that His Royal Highness also spent a huge amount of money, yes or no?!"

"Not bad!" Lin Feng nodded and admitted, "The account on the surface is less than two million taels, but it is for Shi Lang and Yang Haisheng to use for nothing, in fact, the main head is on Dai Zi's side, and no less than four million taels have been invested in artillery, 'Meng' Chong, armor, blades, and soldier training and placement. ”

"The other two are even more appalling!" Gu Yanwu laughed and said, "With the newly established dynasty to collect millions of displaced people, destroy the forbidden land of the palace for the people, such a heroic and heroic spirit, although Gu is actually far away in the south of the Yangtze River, he has to admire the five bodies!" ”

This time, without waiting for Gu Yanwu to explain, Lin Feng 'handed over' on his behalf, "Okay, to be honest, those millions of homeless people almost 'forced' me to hang myself, and it cost more than two million taels of silver just to buy food-you know, bad luck was broken, and at that time, food and cloth were ridiculously expensive, and then in order to settle them, we almost fought with General Ma Ying, and in the end, although we appeased them, but later we 'spent' more than three million taels to absorb the troops, dismiss the old and weak, and update the equipment. ”

"King Han Renyi," Gu Yanwu said with a smile, "That year, you only had expenses and no income, and you were exempted from the money and food of Zhili Province!" ”

"Isn't it?!" Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "Do you think it's easy for me?!" Okay, it's easy to reach an agreement with the Jinhui Chamber of Commerce to help arrange the homeless people's reclamation, and the Manchurian Eight Banners over there are tossing again, there is no way, we have to go to Liaodong to fight again, hehe, a big war was fought, tens of thousands of people died, and more than five million dollars of silver were spent! ”

"Didn't you capture Liaodong and collect more than 15 million silver from Your Highness?!"

"At that time, there was a shortage of food in our Han Dynasty, and this king almost didn't have to sing, and he even tore his face with North Korea in order to find food!" Lin Feng said helplessly, "What's the use of having silver?" Can I eat and drink? There's nowhere to buy anything! ”

"But Lao Chen heard that the Jinhui Chamber of Commerce bought a batch of grain from Shandong and Jiangnan to save the market!" Gu Yanwu said with a smile.

"!! That's high-priced grain! Lin Feng couldn't help but scold, and then waved his hand, "Forget it, in business, there is nothing to say about this, and it is not easy to transport things from the south!" ”

"Yes, at that time, it coincided with Geerdan's southward movement, Rabu invaded Anhui, and the war broke out on the two fronts of the Han Dynasty, so the Han had to transfer troops to the expedition?!"

"Yes, originally our Han government would not be without food to raise soldiers, and there were still some sweet potatoes and potatoes just for eating, but this is not another war, isn't it, is it really not a little bit of food?! So I had no choice, I still had to consider buying a batch! ”

"So in this Great War between the North and the South, our Han Dynasty spent tens of millions of silver and more than 4 million stones of grain and grass?! In addition, he also carried the two big burdens of Shanxi and Shaanxi," Gu Yanwu squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "So the old minister calculates like this, since the beginning of our army, our Han has always had far more expenses than income, but how can His Highness say the word 'generous'?!" ”

Lin Feng was so embarrassed that he turned red and turned his head and said, "Ahem...... Cough...... The widow means ...... This is the right moment...... Although this 'cost' is a bit bigger, there is still some silver in reserve, so don't worry about it for the time being! ”

"Forgive the old minister for being disrespectful," Gu Yanwu said solemnly, "For the sake of the long term, didn't Your Highness think that one day, Your Highness will be in a hurry?!" ”

Lin Feng was silent, and after a long period of silence, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Gu, what does this matter have to do with the minting of Yuanxing new money?!" ”

"Nature has a lot to do with it!!" Gu Yanwu said with a smile, "Lao Chen has visited a lot of businessmen in the past few days, and it is also very beneficial to discuss the economy with this generation of businessmen!" He looked at Lin Feng, "I don't know if Your Highness still remembers, a few years ago, you personally issued an edict to appoint Xu Danyang, president of the Jinhui Chamber of Commerce, as the chief governor of the 'Han Commercial Tax Committee', thinking that it was for the imperial court and the government to submit and issue?!" ”

Lin Feng looked at Gu Yanwu steadily, and said solemnly, "Old man, let's stop going around and around—let's be honest, what do you want to tell me today?!" ”

Gu Yanwu did not retreat, looked at Lin Feng uprightly, and said proudly, "The old man has studied all his life, and has traveled the world, knows the people of the world, and knows the affairs of the world. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"The Han Dynasty is a hero, the instrument is broad, and the sincerity has not been seen for hundreds of years, so Gu also dares to risk death to advise," Gu Yanwu said loudly, "The minister wants to ask the King of Han to open the first world and entrust the country's financial affairs to the family of Shangjia!" ”

Lin Feng was shocked, looked at the great Confucian in front of him in amazement, and said in disbelief, "What are you talking about?!! - You want me to let the merchants live in the temple?! ”

"Businessmen and Confucianists are nothing more than the difference between 'doors' and households, what is the difference between superior and inferior?!" Gu Yanwu said disdainfully, "Confucianism can enter the phase, so can't Shangjia?!" For the benefit of the country and the people, how can it be that Confucianism is a barking dog? ! ”

My God, is this still a "great Confucian"?! Lin Feng's head entered a vacuum, crazy, really crazy, it seems that the Confucian scholars of this era are really crazy, how can they be fundamentally different from what they understand?!!

After staying for a long time, Lin Feng said, "...... What do you mean, sir, what do you want these businessmen to do?! ”

"Just like today's 'Han Dynasty marching military affairs power in charge of the general staff ya' 'gate', the household department ya' 'gate' will be separated from the imperial court, listed as a separate one, and then entrusted to the business affairs, both for the country," Gu Yanwu said firmly, "In this way, my dynasty will definitely prosper and the treasury will be full!" ”

"Will ...... Separate the household from the imperial court?! Lin Feng looked at Gu Yanwu in a daze, and stammered, "...... Or a separate ministry 'door'?! ……”

"Yes," Gu Yanwu nodded, his expression solemn, "There must be a lot of resistance to this matter, and if you are in a hurry, you will definitely not be able to reach it quickly, so it is expedient, and the old minister thinks that it can be gradually implemented in a few years or even decades, so now the first step can start from casting Yuanxing new money!" ”

"Step 1 ......"

"Exactly," Gu Yanwu didn't mean to joke at all, "The old minister and Huang Zongxi, the chief governor of Taixue, all thought that this matter was feasible, and he had many detailed discussions with Xu Danyang and others the day before yesterday. ”

Lin Feng was a little suspicious, "The total ticket number Qian Zhuang?!" ……”

"Yes, the Jinhui Chamber of Commerce has strong financial resources, wide contacts, and outstanding credit, so it can do anything!" Gu Yanwu explained, "So now we can take advantage of this minting of new money, appoint this major policy to the Han Commercial Tax Committee, and then open a 'Dahan Money Bank', and let go of the power of the household department, not only for the convenience of circulation, but also to supervise the world's money?!! ”

Lin Feng suddenly realized, the clouds and mountains were in the fog, and he said for a long time, it turned out that he was going to build a national bank, this idea was really crazy.
