Yang Hao thought about it and decided to use alloy as a coin.

The copper-tin alloy technology is only mastered by a few people in Daqi, and the use of copper-tin alloy basically eliminates the possibility of imitation by the rest of the forces.

However, whether it is pure copper or bronze, it is a very expensive thing, and if you want to save the raw materials for making money, you must give the currency a very strong enough selling power, at least to exceed, the value of the currency itself.

For example, a copper coin the size of a one-yuan coin is only worth half a catty of rice, but the actual purchasing power can be exchanged for one catty of rice.

Yang Hao basically doesn't understand this kind of economic problem, so he can only think about the solution in the direction of cost saving and value unchanged.

The purpose of issuing money is to hire labor to build dikes with money, and as for the labor force that gets money, whether it is to buy food or prostitution, eventually the money will flow into the market, forming a virtuous circle.

The reason why copper coins are used, instead of burning something with mud and saying that this is money, has not yet established money in Daqi's credit, it is simply unrealistic to do so, although these people have no knowledge, but they are not fools.

And the copper coin itself has a certain value, even if the Great Qi tribe is destroyed in the future, the rest of the forces will recognize the value of the copper coin.

For the monetary system to be implemented, Yang Hao made a detailed written description, such as how much a pound of rice is worth, how much a pound of meat is worth, and so on.

Yang Hao is not ready to let the people set their own prices, perhaps due to the influence of later generations, he always feels that macro-control by the power agency is the most reliable.

The style of the copper coin is the well-known square hole money in later generations, and Yang Hao, out of his own bad taste, wrote the words Daqi Tongbao on it.

The most painful thing about the appearance of copper coins is not Wei who made copper coins, but Shaoyan's side.

As the department in charge of the food and grass of the tribal population, the task of issuing copper coins naturally fell on his head.

was called over by Yang Hao and explained the use of coins alone.

Those theories like a book from heaven made him only hate what kind of sin he had created, and guessed such an errand.

At the end of the day's training, when Shao Yan left the palace, his eyes were blank, his steps were vain, and he looked like his soul was out of his body, and he was almost helped back to his residence.

Making copper coins is not a difficult task for the craftsman, the mold is made, and all that remains is to pour and polish the finished product into the clay pot.

Qi City.

Hongyun carefully wrapped the eggs accumulated this winter in tattered animal skins, put them in the basket, carried the sleeping child, and went out of the courtyard.

Ren Zhong watched the bundles of bows and arrows being loaded onto the ox cart, and his mood was very complicated.

On the one hand, he admired Yang Hao's ability, and on the other hand, he was really jealous.

The situation of the Great Qi tribe before was far more cruel than when he fled.

But this weak tribe, under the leadership of that man, has become stronger little by little, although he has seen all this, he has never understood why.

"Can giving freedom to the people really work miracles?"

Ren Zhong was a little dazed.

"Zhong Shaojun, it's not early, please leave as soon as possible, there is a long distance from here to Chang'an, and now you can get to the first place to settle down before dark."

Yuan Shen said.

Ren Zhong nodded and said, "These days, thank you to the former district chief for taking care of me." ”

Yuan smiled: "The young monarch is a distinguished guest of our clan, he has contributed a lot to our clan, and the leader is also extremely fond of you, with your ability, if you join our clan, maybe your status will be above me." ”

Ren Zhong smiled and said: "You are serious, who in Daqi does not know now, the leader is very fond of the noble girl, and you are now in charge of the city on behalf of the noble leader, it can be seen that the trust of the noble leader in you, in terms of status, the number of people who can be compared with you in your ministry is less than a hand."

Even if I am fortunate enough to join the aristocracy, how can I compare with you, you are too worthy of a certain one.

And as you know, I'm not here.

”

Yuan sighed and said: "Then I wish Shaojun an early return to the country, this time I went to Chang'an, the leader will be used for you, I'm afraid you want to shirk it, and you will have the opportunity to drink in Chang'an City in the future, there is a lot of wine." ”

Ren Zhong nodded and said: "Thank you for the blessing of the former district chief, it is an honor to be able to contribute to the nobles, if you can restore the country, I will definitely get drunk with you in Xue City." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said goodbye to each other with their own etiquette.

Hongyun, who had been wandering near the convoy for a long time, watched the convoy about to leave, and struggled for a long time, and finally had the courage to walk towards the convoy.

The leading officer immediately became vigilant when he saw that there were idle people approaching.

"Armed land, where are you from, woman, leave quickly if you have nothing to do."

Looking at these fierce soldiers, Hongyun's face turned pale with fright.

With a trill, he said: "Long... Sir, I am a member of the family of the Great Qi Soldier Song. ”

"Loose? I seem to have heard this name somewhere. ”

The officer muttered something quietly.

looked at Hongyun and said: "No matter who you are, I advise you to leave quickly, delaying the trip, no matter who your husband is, military law is not long-sighted." ”

Seeing this, Hongyun said nervously: "I... I left quickly, these are some eggs, I have saved for a winter, my husband has not returned home since he joined the army, I only ask the commander to bring these eggs to my husband. ”

The officer glanced at the basket with tattered hides, and at the frozen, swollen hands.

After being silent for a long time, he said, "Which army does your husband have?" ”

When Hongyun heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's a row of chief canals, and I only know that his Wu chief's name seems to be Xi." ”

When the officer heard this, he showed a strange expression and said secretly: "No wonder I seem to have heard this name somewhere, it turned out to be a subordinate of that guy in Xi." ”

In Hongyun's expectant gaze, the officer said in a deep voice: "Well, I know, bring the things!" ”

Hongyun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly trotted over the bamboo basket and thanked the officer again and again.

Starting with the bamboo basket, the officer frowned, his hand felt quite heavy, and the number of eggs in this animal skin must be a lot.

A woman with a child can accumulate so many eggs in a winter, I am afraid that she has not eaten a single one, looking at the vicissitudes of her wife's appearance, the officer said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will deliver the things." ”

Hongyun cramped: "Thank you, sir, it's been a long journey, just leave a few of these eggs, and leave the rest for the chiefs to enjoy!" ”

"You're the kind of person who did it? How can I take the things of the robes and brothers, and if there is one less egg, I will cut off my own head. ”

The officer was stunned, and Hongyun was so frightened that he apologized again and again.
