"Your Majesty, the newspaper hall was opened by the Marquis of Qinghe, if you invite him here, maybe this matter will be easily solved!" A minister stood up and picked up the plate and threw this thorny question to a certain marquis.

"Yes, yes, Qinghe Hou must have a way!"

"The free delivery of the special issue must also be approved by Qinghehou, otherwise the newspaper would not dare to do this, maybe Qinghehou has already had a perfect plan!"

"Yes, yes!" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately nodded in agreement, saying that this matter could not be solved by the Marquis of Qinghe.

"Hurry up and ask the Marquis of Qinghe to discuss the matter!" Qin Shi Huang instructed the confessor next to him.

The "whoa" confessor withdrew from the apse, and took the two palace people to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion in a car.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the two positions of the CRRC Government Order and the Ministry of Rites have been vacant for nearly ten days, and the two prime ministers have recommended two candidates to me, which is very suitable for me, where is Yang Zhu, General Lang?"

"The minister is here!" An official, who was nearly fifty years old and had gray hair, stood up excitedly.

"From today onwards, Yang Zhu will be promoted to the Ministry of Rites, and I hope that Aiqing will conscientiously manage the affairs of the Ministry of Rites in the future, don't be careless!"

"Thank you for your grace, the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Yang Zhu's excited speech was a little knotted.

"Where is Su Yue, the confessor?"

"The minister is here!" A slightly tall and thin official stood up with the same excitement.

"From today onwards, Su Yue will be promoted to the commander of the CRRC government, and I hope that Aiqing will abide by self-discipline and help me manage the jade seal and the edict!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Enlong!" Su Yue's excited voice trembled slightly.

Next, he dealt with several urgent government affairs in a row, and Chen Xu also followed the confessor to the outside of the court with two dark circles under his eyes, and walked until he walked to the door of the court, before he stuffed the last bite of a bun into his mouth, and wiped his mouth clean with his sleeve, so that the confessor went in to report.

Last night, I drank a bowl of beef bone soup carefully stewed by the old lady, Chen Xu was excited for half the night, feeling that his body was like an extra electric motor, and he galloped on his wife with plenty of fuel for almost half a night.

It's only six o'clock, it's a good time to sleep lazy, why does the emperor call him to go to court, it makes him so depressed that he can't express it, he can only maliciously think that the emperor is old and can't plow the field, and envy and jealousy of him, a newlywed ploughing expert.

The messenger walked into the main hall to spread the word, and soon the long shout of the messenger came from the main hall: "Please enter the hall of Qinghe"

So Chen Xu choked his neck and rolled his eyes to swallow the bun, and then after tidied up his court clothes and hair, he walked into the hall with a harmless smile on his face.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military sat on both sides and looked at him like a monkey, but he was ignored by Chen Xu, every time he came to the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military was this shameless virtue.

Chen Xu bowed his hand to Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing is exempt, please take a seat!" Qin Shi Huang nodded slightly with a smile on his face, Chen Xu quickly walked to the front of his exclusive chair and stood up, and bowed again: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to the sudden summoning of ministers?" ”

"It's about today's special issue...... Qin Shi Huang said the matter discussed in the court in a few words, and then looked at Chen Xu with anticipation on his face and said: "I don't know if Aiqing can come up with a good way to do this!" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is easy to hear, the newspaper is a kind of business, naturally it has its source of earnings, and the newspaper does not rely on ten dollars per copy to make money, but has a greater source of income, but the newspaper has just started, the circulation is small and the circulation range is small, so the minister has not yet developed its way to make money, so the printing of special issues to pass the world Your Majesty does not need to worry, the minister has already planned, and intends to print 100,000 copies for free!"

"100,000 copies?" Above the court, there were suddenly exclamations one after another.

According to many people's speculation, even if Chen Xu has a countermeasure, it is estimated that it will be up to the sky to grit his teeth and print twenty or thirty thousand copies, after all, it is distributed for free, even if the labor is not money, paper and ink still need money, and thirty or fifty thousand copies is also a big expense, but no one expected that Chen Xu would open his mouth to 100,000 copies, and he also understated it, and he didn't seem to take it to heart at all.

100,000 servings, that is, 1 million yuan, which is converted into nearly 30,000 stone of grain, and the Shangqing with the golden seal and purple ribbon is only 3,000 stone official rank a year, and it took ten years to accumulate without eating or drinking.

Therefore, when Chen Xu said this, not only the hundred officials exclaimed, but even Qin Shihuang was moved, stood up and looked at Chen Xu and said, "Aiqing is not wrong? ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it's only 100,000 copies, and the minister won't break his word!" Chen Xu smiled and arched his hand.

"Okay, I know that this matter will definitely be difficult for Aiqing!" Qin Shi Huang sat down happily, and then began to continue to deal with other government affairs with civil and military officials.

Nima dropped a gourd scoop, roared me out of bed so hot, and hung Lao Tzu aside after asking a word?

Watching Qin Shi Huang and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs enthusiastically handle government affairs, Chen Xu felt an impulse to be a dog, but he came and went, and he could only sit on the chair and listen, and then ...... I couldn't help but yawn...... Yawned again...... Yawned again......

I really didn't sleep well last night, and it seems that I still have to be temperate in the future, and I can't do those unashamed exercises all night, which consumes a lot of physical strength.

Half an hour passed in a flash, Chen Xu was already about to fall asleep, and it was Li Si who woke him up with the wat board in his hand.

"Marquis Qinghe, Your Majesty called you!" Chen Xu suddenly opened his eyes and found that Li Si was still poking his arm hard.

"Your Majesty forgives me, the minister hasn't slept well recently!" Chen Xu wiped his mouth and stood up.

"It's okay, when the Shaofu Order talks about the problem of minting money too slowly, I don't know if Aiqing has a way to solve it?" Qin Shi Huang waved his hand indifferently, it was not the first time he had seen Chen Xu dozing off in the court, he was used to it.

"It's slow to mint money, you can make the face value bigger and solve it!" Chen Xu arched his hand and said.

"Qinghe Hou, is it ...... to make the face value bigger What does that mean? Shaofu made Zhao Wei excited.

At present, almost all copper mines have been controlled by Shaofu, and all copper smelting in copper and iron workshops has been banned, and the right to smelt copper has all been collected by Shaofu, and there is no shortage of copper at present, but the speed of minting money is too slow to keep up with the monetary reform that is about to be officially implemented, so the anxious hair is about to turn white, plus Fang Cai Feng Qujian suddenly asked him for money in the court, so when he was about to disperse the court, Zhao Wei decided to hand over this problem to the emperor to solve, and then the emperor was very familiar with the road and remembered the Qinghe Marquis who was sitting next to him.

Li Si asked Li Si if he was undecided about internal affairs, and asked Chen Xu for other questions.

This is Qin Shi Huang's most direct and simple idea.

So after signaling Li Si to wake Chen Xu up, Chen Xu, who was wiping his saliva, easily proposed a solution.

"The face value is bigger...... Well, it is to mark the number on the coin to indicate the number of different coins, for example, at present we only have two kinds of coins, the first is copper coin, the court stipulates that it is half a tael, a value is a penny, the second is gold, a small cake is a tael, when two hundred coins, a large cake is four thousand coins, but gold is valuable, ordinary people can't get it at all, they are concentrated in the hands of rich businessmen, so the coins in circulation in the market are only a copper coin of one penny, if someone wants to buy a thousand yuan of items, you need to carry a full thirty pounds of copper coins, It's a great burden, but if we mint a coin worth ten, then the deal will only have to take more than 300 copper coins, and if we mint a larger copper coin with a denomination of 100, then the trade will only cost 100 copper coins......"

"Qinghe Hou, if you mint coins with a larger denomination, wouldn't the weight also have to be several times larger, the quantity will be reduced, but the weight will not become lighter!" A minister asked suspiciously, and most of them looked the same.

"Definitely!" Chen Xu shook his head, "The current half of a tael weighs twelve baht, I think it's too heavy, the new coin should be lighter, so that the people will go out to carry the coin will be more labor-saving and more convenient, so I think at least on the basis of today's coins to reduce by half, a coin weighs five baht is more appropriate, just the number of the five elements, and the two sides of the coin are yin and yang for each other, but also in line with the principle of heaven, money is a commodity, representing luck, so the number of coins also represents the rise and fall of the country, more money is the country is prosperous, less money is the country is decadent and decaying." , I Daqin is now Dingding Jiangshan unified China, of course, the more money, the better, so there is certainly not enough of this kind of face value of a coin, and with the gradual advancement of monetary reform, the use of money is getting bigger and bigger, transactions are becoming more and more frequent, and it is very troublesome to encounter large transactions, and the coinage is too slow, so it is far from keeping up with the people's demand for coins, which will inevitably produce a lot of problems, now the right to mint coins is in Shaofu, and the right to explain is also in Shaofu, we use five baht to mint a coin of copper coins, Ten baht for five coins, fifteen baht for ten cents, and one tael for fifty cents......"

"Hiss" Chen Xu's words came out, and a gasping sound instantly sounded above the court.

There is no stupid person in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, otherwise he would not be able to stand in this position, Chen Xu has not turned a corner when he talks about the face value issue, but now that Chen Xu explained, everyone was completely stunned by Chen Xu's brain-opening idea.

"Qinghe Hou, this ...... This approach...... Not...... Safe? Ordinary people are illiterate, and the weight difference between coins is too small to cause confusion! An official of the household department stammered.

Chen Xu thought for a moment and said: "This problem is also very easy to solve, now I Daqin copper smelting technology is superb, the Shaofu Mint Department specially organized a group of copper smelting masters, respectively, smelting copper ingots with different copper content, such as the copper tin alloy used at the moment, the color of copper is blue-gold, if it is copper-zinc alloy is pure gold, if it is pure copper, it is purple-red, illiterate people can judge by color, these copper ingots are smelting workshops in factories outside the city, and it is not difficult to smelt them. There is also the shape of the coin can also be made into a different shape, such as a copper coin, or can be made into a round square hole, because the amount is large and easy to be bundled and carried with a rope, and five coins, ten coins and fifty coins of this large denomination, can be made into a round cake shape, the size and thickness are different, the top are engraved with different values and patterns, plus the color is different, I think even the blind can distinguish clearly! ”

"Of course, with these coins of different denominations, minting money is basically a profitable business, and the only thing to do in the Shaofu Order is to have absolute control, so that no one in the people dares to mint coins privately!" Chen Xu stared at Zhao Wei and finally added.

"Qinghe Hou rest assured, if someone dares to mint coins privately, they will destroy his three clans!" At this time, after fully understanding Chen Xu's method of coining, Qin Shi Huang sat on the dragon chair and made the final decision.

Zhao Wei finally came back to his senses at this time, and saluted respectfully to Chen Xu: "Qinghehou's words made Chongmao suddenly, the law of coinage is related to the rise and fall of the country, Wei also implored Qinghehou to help design a set of coin models, and I also organized craftsmen to make money fans and start minting new coins." ”

Chen Xu nodded with a smile and said: "This matter is naturally not unavoidable, there are many skilled craftsmen in my academy, and the factories outside the city have the best steel, I will let them help you make Qian Fan together by the way!" ”

"Thank you Qinghehou!" Zhao Wei was overjoyed and bowed to Chen Xu again.

Another thorny problem was resolved by Chen Xu lightly, and it sounded so simple, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to split Chen Xu's head to see, how did this unbelievable method come up with, one or two copper and fifty coins, it was simply ...... It's ...... It's shameless.
