Of course, this money must first be flowed before it can be considered wealth, otherwise, will it rot in the treasury?

However, it is not easy to get the five-baht coin in circulation.

First of all, the five-baht coin is a new thing, and the Chinese people have always been conservative, sometimes they would rather suffer a little loss than try something new, and only when they see the tangible benefits in front of them, they will rush to it.

Secondly, the issuance of money relied on the banking industry in later generations, but now it depends on the government, and only when the government determines that your money can be used as a tax can your money be circulated.

So what kind of money is legal and circulatory in the eyes of the government?

In the "Han Law", there is a clear provision that the diameter of the money is more than ten inches, although it is lacking, the article is quite wise, and it is not a special fold and lead money, which is all line money. Those who dare not to take the money will be fined four taels.

It means that as long as it is a coin, the diameter is not less than eight points, then even if the surface of the copper coin has been worn, but as long as the inscription on the coin can still be seen, and there is no break or all lead, it is a legal copper coin, and the government will treat it equally, and those who dare to refuse to accept the copper coin that meets the standard will be fined four taels.

But if it was really that simple, Liu Xun would have to snicker.

At the time of the first emperor, half of the copper coins circulating in the world were from Wu Land, and half were minted by Shuiheng Duwei.

The coins minted by other merchants were hardly mainstream, rarely entered circulation, and most of them only circulated in the local counties where the merchants were located, and rarely passed through the whole country.

Why?

If he can't even see through this, Liu Xun will live three lives in vain.

The collusion between officials and businessmen, local protectionism, and the only power that can smash these two turtle shells is the more powerful power.

If not, Liu Xun is a puppet at this time, and he can only use the name of the Son of Heaven to reform the five-baht coin, at least no one in Guanzhong dares to stumble and get black.

Liu Xun has no doubt that as long as the new monetary policy enters the circulation field, it will soon encounter various snipers.

Rejection is still light!

The merchants in Guanzhong can even do the thing of lending usury to the imperial court, what else do they dare not do?

Even if something happens, it's nothing more than handing over a few dead ghosts to take the blame.

Lives? In the eyes of businessmen, it is nothing more than a number.

After taking the five-baht coin around the yard a few times, Liu Xun suddenly thought of something, but hesitated and hesitated, "If this is the case, will future generations say that I look too ugly?" The initiator, what is the aftermath? ”

But when he thought about it, he couldn't do anything without money, Liu Xun stomped his foot, "That's it, all the sins in this world are borne by me!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xun picked up the box of five baht coins, got into the carriage, and returned to Weiyang Palace.

After entering Weiyang Palace, Liu Xun went straight to Qingliang Palace, and Huang Xie told him that he should accompany the Queen Mother to visit the garden today.

As a last resort, Liu Xun could only divert to Shanglin Yuan.

So, Liu inquired about the jade guard of honor and came to Shanglin Yuan in the southeast of Chang'an.

Shanglin Garden, this is a Qin Dynasty palace group that survived the war at the end of Qin, was built in the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, at that time, the famous Afang Palace is just the front hall of Shanglin Garden, the entire Shanglin Garden stretches for hundreds of miles in the Qin Dynasty, among which there are both brilliant and magnificent Afang Palace, there are also vast hunting grounds, and the beast circle of various fierce beasts.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, a war burned down the Afang Palace and burned down most of the palaces of the Qin Dynasty.

But there are also survivors.

The Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace of the Han Dynasty were both built in the ruins of the palace of the Qin Dynasty, and the Shanglin Garden, although the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty burned down most of the buildings of this huge royal forest garden, it still left some remnants of buildings and various forest gardens that had been planned.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Xiao He in line with the idea of careful planning, the Shanglin Garden was partially repaired and renovated, to the later Lu period, again a little maintenance, until now, although the Shanglin Garden has not yet restored its heyday in the past, but it can be regarded as the world's first royal garden.

How big is Shanglin Garden at this time?

In later generations, Ban Gu once said that in "Xijing Fu", he was surrounded by walls, more than 400 miles.

Of course, that is after the later Liu Che, Liu Fuling, Liu Xun three generations of relay expansion of the scale, the current Shanglin Garden, not as long as 400 li, but also more than 200 li, across the entire south of the Weishui River, most of the plains and hills on the south bank of the Wei River into its scope, even the Chanshui and the Bashui also flow through the Shanglin Garden.

The emperor of the Han family and his descendants, the palace concubines, the queen mother, the princes, and the princes and kings of the coming dynasty would go to the forest garden to hunt, shoot arrows or watch the rare and exotic beasts in captivity.

Countless allusions and stories have occurred in Shanglin Garden.

Even the invincible Yu Linwei who was powerful in the world before was trained from the hunting ground of Shanglin Yuan, and most of the childhood and youth of a generation of Tianjiao Huo was spent in Shanglin Yuan.

Generally speaking, if Liu Zheng becomes the Son of Heaven in the future, then, in addition to listing a palace for him in the Weiyang Palace, there is also an independent territory for him in Shanglin Yuan, which is used to place his subordinates, cultivate henchmen, and exercise his abilities.

For example, Liu Che, the crown prince of Emperor Xiaojing, had a Sixian Garden in Shanglin Yuan back then, and later Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che also established a Bowang Garden for his grandfather Liu Zhi, and Liu Rong also mixed up a Yichun Garden, but unfortunately he was not angry......

For the emperor of the Han family, it seems that it is never a problem that the prince is too capable, and the prince is not very capable to die!

For example, Liu Rong when he was Emperor Xiaojing, and Liu Xun's grandfather Liu Ju later, were all planted in places where their abilities were not enough and did not satisfy Emperor Laozi.

Otherwise, with the strength of the son of heaven of the Han family, if he is a qualified heir, it is not impossible to do such a thing as killing the mother and saving the child!

Liu Xun's carriage guard of honor galloped straight into the upper forest garden, on both sides of the road, the green trees are shady, the grass is fragrant, there are butterflies flying in the flowers from time to time, and on the hillside in the distance, Liu Xun even saw a rolling lying in the bamboo forest gnawing on bamboo leaves.

Now China is in a warm period and belongs to the subtropical climate, which can be proved by the swaggering appearance of Shanglinyuan, as well as the citrus trees planted on both sides of the road.

It's just that Liu Xun also knows that such a good life will not last for decades, and a new round of Xiaoice is quietly approaching.

When Liu Xun was still an otaku, he once saw an article on the Internet about the connection between the rise and fall of dynasties and the Xiaoice period. he

I vaguely remember that after the Zhaoxuan, China will be fully affected by the Xiaoice Age, drought, falling temperatures, rampant diseases, and terrible locust plagues!

Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment, and must begin to prepare!

Prepare for major reservoir repairs and build wide channels, only with a sufficient number of large, medium and small reservoirs can survive the disasters brought by the harsh Xiaoice Age.

At the same time, it is also necessary to encourage the development of the south, especially Huguang, and build it into a land of fish and rice.

Zhao Chongguo, who held Jinwu, and Wang Ji in the imperial history, has also been retributious recently.

However, Liu Xun knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to completely do and solve these things, he first had to be pro-government!

Shanglin Garden, next to the tiger circle.

A small gathering inside the royal family is taking place.

Empress Xu Pingjun and the ladies in the palace are accompanying the Empress Dowager Shangguan to watch the beasts in captivity in the tiger pen.

In the sturdy fence, fierce beasts such as tigers, rhinoceros, wild boars, wolves, and leopards are driven and lured by animal trainers to perform various difficult maneuvers to attract the attention of the audience above.

Although the Empress Dowager Shangguan is the Empress Dowager, she is only nineteen years old, but she is still very interested in this kind of performance, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan likes it, as the queen Xu Pingjun, she is naturally willing to accompany the old lady to the forest garden every once in a while to watch the beast show, and at the same time scatter her heart, ride a horse, hunt, and relax.

This time when he came to Shanglin Yuan, Liu Xun came at the behest of the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

According to the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven has been established for almost half a year, and it is time to recruit beautiful girls, enrich the harem, open branches and leaves for the Liu family as soon as possible, and give birth to a dragon grandson.

This is also Liu Xun's natural power as the Son of Heaven!

In fact, Liu Xun is also looking forward to giving birth to a son and a half daughter as soon as possible.

A Son of Heaven without an heir is not a complete Son of Heaven!

Before, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Che was unable to give birth to a son for a long time, and he didn't know how many people were in a hurry, and how many princes and kings were ready to move.

It's just a pity that except for Queen Xu Pingjun, who gave birth to a son, the other concubines have not seen any movement in their stomachs all this time.

This made Liu Xun's heart beat a little drum.

Since it is not possible to concentrate firepower, it can only rely on fraternity.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, Liu Xun came to Shanglin Yuan, and at this time, the crowd in the palace was moving, and countless ministers and nobles, well-dressed, were all in the ranks.

As soon as these people saw Liu Xun, they were immediately like hungry wolves, their eyes lit up, and they almost wanted to run over immediately and hug their thighs with courtesy.

Everyone thinks that their daughter can be chosen by the Son of Heaven, and from then on she will be in the harem and become a relative of the emperor.

But Liu Xun knew that none of these nobles, especially the women of the Chehou family, could be elected.

The Han family, although there is no rule like the Ming Dynasty, that the concubine cannot be a noble relative, but it also has similar unspoken rules.

Look at the history books, among the favorite concubines of the emperors of the Han family in the past dynasties, in addition to their relatives, there are the daughters of the Marquis of Che?

The answer is five fingers!

Liu Xun naturally knew this unspoken rule, in fact, Huo Guang and Han Zeng had also told him, except for the minister's family, he could take a fancy to anyone!

is different from what most people think, although the Son of Heaven of the Han family has no right to speak on the side concubine, but outside the side concubine, he has great autonomy, basically, who to choose or not is the Son of Heaven has the final say!

For example, the Book of Han recorded the story of Liu Wu personally referring to the concubine.

Moreover, the choice of concubines by the emperor of the Han family is actually a concubine selection full of entertainment.

It's basically a bit like a beauty pageant in later generations.

Rows of girls dressed up and dressed up in a row stand in a row, each showing their strengths, doing their best to please the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven sees who is pleasing to the eye, so he points to it, and the girl is promoted!

Even, the range of show girls in the Han family's Son of Heaven draft is quite extensive.

Basically, the old Liu family is not taboo.

Lori is good, sister is a royal sister, and a wife has to do it!

There is everything among the show girls!

Liu Xun walked into the Changxin Palace, and the ministers in the room hurriedly got up to greet him.

Liu Xunzi also returned the salute one by one, and then was taken by a eunuch to sit under the seat of the Empress Dowager Luan.

After waiting for a while, the Empress Dowager Shangguan walked into the Changxin Hall from the apse surrounded by Empress Xu Pingjun.

Liu Xun and the ministers hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Grandson inquires to welcome the imperial grandmother!" Liu Xun recently entrusted Liu Zheng's blessing, and his status in front of the Empress Dowager Shangguan rose and became the new heart of the Empress Dowager Shangguan.

Therefore, as soon as she heard Liu Xun's voice, the Empress Dowager Shangguan laughed and said, "The Son of Heaven sits beside the mourning family!" ”

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

Liu Xun was naturally interested, and hurriedly got up, helped the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and sat on the seat.

After the Empress Dowager Shangguan sat down, she smiled and said, "Today, the Son of Heaven wants to choose a few more beauties, leave the emperor's great-grandson for the mourning family as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for my Han family!" ”

Liu Xun naturally hurriedly said, "No! ”

Liu Xun sat quietly at the head of the Empress Dowager Dou, waiting for the girls to be drafted to meet in turn.

His fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the desk.

To be honest, he was still quite expectant.

This draft can be described as a gathering of beauties, and the beauties are like rain.

According to the gossip that Wang Dao inquired from Shaofu, there are several peerless beauties.

It's just that......

I don't know why, Liu Xun felt a little awkward at the moment.

Speaking of which, this has to blame Liu Xun's imperial father and imperial grandfather, the old Liu family can be said to have exhausted the discipline on the issue of sex, and the Liu family has never had a so-called plot, on the contrary, those who love mature women and royal sisters are far more than those who like green apples.

The so-called King of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace!

Therefore, every time the prince draft year, all kinds of chickens and dogs jump in the people, and bullshit is endless.

All kinds of divorce, repentance and even divorce incidents emerge in endlessly!

Liu Xun felt that if the protagonist of the divorce stream on the Dian Niang came to the Western Han Dynasty in the future, it was estimated that he would have to explode dozens of times!

However, Liu Xun felt awkward, but not because of this.

As one of the most powerful men in the world, it is a matter of course to have more beautiful girls.

The reason why Liu Xun felt awkward was because he hated such a atmosphere.

Married women, royal sisters, of course, happy to see it, if there is no other style, it is even more praised.

It's just that in such an atmosphere, in the end, his side will probably be filled with countless women who have their own ghosts and are full of competing for favor.

Liu Xun remembered that there was a story recorded in the Han Book that when Emperor Xuan's crown prince Liu Zheng was young, his favorite concubine Sima Liangdi was sick and was about to die.

Although Sima Liangdi may be more unaccustomed to those concubines who are jealous of her on weekdays, so she dug a pit to trap people when she was dying.

But is there no reason for it?

The Liu family's loose draft system and the censorship system full of loopholes and unspoken rules are doomed, and those who can go to the prince in the end are basically women who are extremely scheming and proficient in methods.

Speaking of the old Liu family's show girl screening and censorship system, it is simply a sieve!

Even a woman like the Empress Dowager Wang Huan, who has had a husband and given birth to a child, can enter the palace draft as a daughter of a good family.

Others who are only engaged or married are more likely to blend in.

Moreover, in the history of the wild, there are also endless records of similar royal family receiving benefits from show girls.

For example, the story of Wang Zhaojun is a good proof that in the court under the rule of the Liu family, just because they are beautiful and talented, they may not be able to meet the emperor.

If you don't send money, you will almost wait to give up the competition and give up the opportunity to get on the top.

This is like the hard writers of later generations, if you don't brush, you will be ridden on the head by the brushes.

Thinking of these things, Liu Xun rubbed his temples.

As the future master of this country, Liu Xun knows very well that it is also his responsibility and obligation to manage his own women.

It is true that he is ruthless and ruthless, but Liu Xun knows very well that he can't do it, or he is not enlightened enough.

In this way, choosing a pillow person has become a problem that must be considered and weighed.

"Let's eliminate all those who were born in Zhao for the time being......" Liu Xun thought in his heart.

The women of Zhao State are famous at this time, and they are known for their amorous styles, such as Lapi * Strip, and the beauties who are offered to them, ten, are all from Zhao Land.

This is really not Liu Xun's regional discrimination, but at this time, Zhao Di's atmosphere is probably like this.

As a monarch, Liu Che really knew too well what most of the elite class of landlords and gentry in Zhao State were.

Those guys, one is smarter than the other, and each is more powerful than the other.

Moreover, Zhao Di is extravagant, and the wind of comparison prevails.

In such an environment, even the private sector has been greatly affected.

Taishi Gong wrote history, and unceremoniously commented on Zhao and nearby Zhongshan, Changshan and other countries, saying that their men got together to play games, sang sad songs and were generous, and they followed each other from the beginning, and Hugh dug graves to do clever and treacherous governance, many beautiful things, for advocating excellence, as for women, drumming and singing, flattering and rich, entering the harem, and all over the princes.

In the first Han Dynasty, Zhao Nu, especially the beauties of Zhao State, are representatives who can't keep their loneliness and like to jump.

The famous Zhao Feiyan sisters were even able to force Liu Zheng to kill the second child with their own hands, which shows how powerful their methods are.

What's more serious is that the Zhao Feiyan sisters also wore many green hats to Emperor Yuan.

Liu Xun doesn't want his head to be green in the future!

Just thinking about it, a eunuch came to Liu Xun with a roster of silk books, knelt down, and bowed, "Your Majesty, this is the roster of show girls this time, please take a look!" ”

Liu Che looked at the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and only after getting permission did he get up, first saluting the Empress Dowager, and then taking over the roster.

When the roster was received, Liu Xun first felt that it was quite thick.

He sat down and flipped through the roster.

This silk book is still quite thick, with more than a dozen layers, and if it is spread out, it can probably look like several meters.

Liu Che opened the first page and saw that there were words written on it, which were probably descriptions of the show girl's surname, place of origin, background and appearance.

Like the portrait mentioned in the wild history, it does not appear on the silk book.

Come to think of it, either there is no court painter at all, or the Han family has never had the profession of painter.

Thinking about it for a while, Liu Che felt that it was right.

In this era dominated by bamboo slips, do you want to draw a portrait on bamboo slips or silk books?

I'm afraid it's no less difficult than making a cannon!

"On this silk book, I'm afraid that hundreds of beautiful girls are written...... Liu Xun took the silk book and secretly stammered, hundreds of young girls, royal sister Loli's wife lined up, let him choose. I am afraid that only the emperor and the crown prince can enjoy this kind of treatment.

"The names written in front of me are probably all show girls who have made money or have a relationship!" Liu Xun thought to himself.

Of these hundreds of women, naturally it is impossible for everyone to be selected.

In fact, in each draft, only three or five lucky people can be recognized by the prince.

What's more important is that there are hundreds of people on this roster, no matter whether Liu Xun or the Queen Mother don't have so much time to see them one by one.

So what to do?

Naturally, it was drawn from the roster.

Maybe a certain girl got a good name, and then the Son of Heaven decided to meet her.

Of course, more often than not, it is to read the comments on the silk book.

Whether you are beautiful, talented, temperamental, and family background, these are all options for extra points.

Liu Xun looked at the eunuch and thought even more in his heart, "I'm afraid, there are a lot of passive hands and feet on this silk book!" ”

That's almost certain!

Thinking about Wang Zhaojun and then thinking about Wei Zifu, you know that these guys must have used means in these things.
