Chapter 457: Minting Money
Chen Qundao: Ming Gong is thoughtful, and the county admires. It's just that at present, there are all kinds of coins in the Han Dynasty. There was a "five-baht coin" (baht is the weight) of the Lingdi Emperor. During the period of Emperor Keling, it was said that it was five baht, but in fact it was only four baht. Later, Dong Zhuo was even more ruthless and issued small baht coins. As a result, one cake can be bought for one penny, and the last three coins can't be bought.
Zhang Jie understands that this is ancient inflation. In fact, the money itself is worthless, even if it is waste paper. As long as the government approves that it is money, then it has value.
But in ancient times, the implementation of paper money, it was definitely not possible. The paper industry is not so developed. And the common people won't believe it.
You'll think you're a liar. Dong Zhuozhu's money was a little less, and the people scolded him to death. If you dare to use paper money, you will definitely let the people of the world scold you to death, and the military officials under your command will not support it.
In this way, the hearts and minds of the people will be lost. Ordinary people still like to see real money.
Zhang Jiedao: Yes, the long article is right, we have to re-mint coins. In this matter, Jie has other arrangements, Jie will reset the coin, also with five baht. But the money designed by Jie will be more exquisite than the five baht money of the Han Dynasty, and the people will like it more.
Changwen, Jie arranged a small mansion for you in Luoyang, don't dislike it.
Xie Minggong, how dare the group dislike it.
That's okay, after you go back, list the nine grades and eighteen levels, according to the official positions corresponding to the six-part system. In addition, the DPRK and China have set up a historical observatory that can impeach any official. In addition, a monitoring station was set up to supervise all military officials under heaven. Whether there is corruption, bribery, and abuse of power.
In addition, as long as you are admitted to the Jinshi, it does not matter whether you are awarded an official or not. It is regarded as from the nine products. After the official is awarded, the grade will be calculated according to the official position. The top 10 can be a little higher.
Oh! Also, the attire of all officials, official hats. It's going to be redesigned. The official uniforms and hats worn by officials of each grade must be differentiated, and they cannot all be the same. You can distinguish the grade by looking at the costume. There is also a court wat (the brand used in the previous dynasty, also called Gui,) also has to be redesigned. You can learn from the experience of the Qin and Han dynasties, but you can't follow them all. Do you understand?
Chen Qundao: The group understands, but in this way, there are many things! You have to hire a tailor, and you have to design a sample. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!
Zhang Jie said: It's okay, Jie will give you three months. What you want, Jay gives you. In Luoyang, you can transfer anyone. In short, you must do a good job, this is a big deal, and you can't go wrong.
Jay will give you another assistant. Xingbi is now Luoyang Ling, and Jie asked him to listen to you. Whatever you want, go to him.
Promise!
After Chen Qun left. Zhang Jie said: Yuanfu, you will immediately send someone to Yecheng quickly, and let the judge send Lao Chengtou and ten craftsmen who can cast molds and make money to Luoyang. Let's just say that Jay wants to mint new money. Let them bring the tools with them. Be quick!
Promise! I'll arrange it right away!
Back in the backyard, Zhang Jieshou: Yan'er, we forgot a big thing. Today, the long article came, and Jie remembered.
Cai Yan said: What's the matter!
Mint money! Jay was too busy to forget about it.
If we want to build a country, how can we not issue coins?
And our money should be different from the coins of the Han Dynasty.
First, our money should look better. It is necessary to have the characteristics of our Great Wei.
Second, the money should be five baht, and we can't use small money to fool the people like Dong Zhuo, which will only make the people hate us.
Third, it is necessary to prevent counterfeiting, and to ensure that others cannot make counterfeits at all. This technique is very difficult, and even if it can't be done, at least it must be impossible for ordinary people to do it.
Fourth, we will not only mint copper coins, but also gold coins and silver coins. (There was silver in the Han Dynasty, but there were only two kinds of coins in the Han Dynasty: gold and copper.) Silver is only used as an artifact, not as currency).
Zhang Jie said: Let's exchange a gold coin for a thousand coins, and silver coins for a hundred coins.
Cai Yan said: What you said is right, but how do you design it?
Zhang Jie said: It's up to you, Mrs.! Jie will only say, if you want me to paint, it's not my strength!
Yan'er, I said you paint, first say five baht money. Our money should also be round, with a hole in the middle, so that it is easy to wear a rope. The front should be printed, "Dawei Tongbao" four big characters! A circle of small letters is printed on the circle on the back. Or print it with a delicate pattern.
Small characters, printed with "Great Wei Kaiyuan First Year System".
Cai Yan said: Shimin, do you plan to name the era "Kaiyuan"?
Zhang Jiedao: Yan'er, what do you think of Kaiyuan?
Cai Yan said: "Yuan", "Shiye", "Touye"! The first Canadian dollar service. - "Rites and Rituals".
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created the era, and the first era name was "Jianyuan". Shimin is the founder of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is appropriate to use "Kaiyuan".
Hehe, Yan'er still knows more. Jie also only knows that "yuan" is the beginning of the beginning. I didn't think about it so much. In this way, let's use the first year of Kaiyuan. So if Jie is the king this year, will it be changed to the first year of the Yuan this year?
Cai Yan arrived, this is not impossible, this year is the king, and it will be changed to "the first year of Kaiyuan" immediately. It's just a bit disrespectful to the Son of Heaven.
Zhang Jie said: Lao Tzu has long been disrespectful to him, and it is disrespectful to call the king with a different surname, regardless of him, he will be called the queen, and it will be changed to "the first year of Kaiyuan". (Historically, Sun Quan was also called king first, and then emperor.) The year of Wang Ding is called the first year of Huangwu (222). Later, he was called the emperor and changed the eighth year of Huangwu to the first year of Huanglong (229). Therefore, it is possible to be called a king. )
Cai Yandao: Isn't it too urgent?
Yan'er! Jiedu is forty years old, if you don't hurry up, when will you be able to calm the world? Honestly, Jay can't wait!
Jie also plans to be the king this year, and send troops to the Xiongnu next year to pacify the Western Regions. Destroy Sun Quan and Liu Bei again.
Cai Yan said: Why did you send troops to the Huns first? Why don't you take the world first and then fight the Huns?
Zhang Jie said: This Jie has also thought about it, but Jie wants to give the Great Wei State a great contribution, such as destroying the Xiongnu and recovering the Western Regions. Then the people of the world will definitely have their hearts on my Great Wei!
And with such a victorious division, it is easier to go south to take Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places.
Cai Yan said: I'm just the opposite of what you think.
Oh! Then Yan'er tell me your reasons? Zhang Jie said.
First, now we have enough strength to win the seven counties of Jingxiang. And it is completely possible to control the Jingzhou naval army to pacify Jiangdong.
Wait two, if you go to fight the Huns, you will waste at least a year in vain. And you have to go to the Western Regions, I heard that it will take more than half a year to go back and forth to the Western Regions. Also through the desert. It's too dangerous. If everything doesn't go well, two or three years may not be able to pacify the Western Regions.
Third, at present, Liu Bei, Liu Qi, and Sun Quan can all be said to have succeeded to the throne soon. If you give them another two or three years, they'll be even more difficult to deal with. And maybe an alliance.
Fourth, you only need to eliminate Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao, dominate the world, and then send a general to lead troops north to recover the Western Regions. Why should you go yourself?
