The shortage of materials makes it impossible to do the brilliant lights in the imperial study, and it is just enough not to affect the writing.

Hu Guang looked at the three courtiers sitting in front of him, nodded and signaled, and Fang Zhenghua on the side picked up the small box on the imperial case and handed it to Shoufu.

At the same time, Hu Guang said: "A few secretaries will take a look first. ”

When Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi saw it, they both looked at the small box in Wen Tiren's hand with a little curiosity, they were very strange, the emperor summoned himself into the palace overnight to see the contents of this box? It also involves the household department and the Ministry of Rites?

I saw that Wen Tiren also opened the box with a little curiosity, took a look inside, and his face suddenly changed, becoming a little cautious, and then he reached out and carefully took out a stack of papers from it and looked at it carefully.

The paper in this hand is roughly divided into three categories of different sizes, and the paper with the smallest length and width is on it. The paper is printed with patterns and words, which is very beautiful, and you can tell at a glance that this kind of printing has taken a lot of work.

On the top of the paper, a copper plate is printed in the most conspicuous place in the middle, and the words that were originally Tongbao seem to have been replaced, and the handwriting is a little small, and Wen Tiren has a hard time reading it.

At this time, I saw Fang Zhenghua bring a mirror. Wen Tiren couldn't help but look up at the emperor when he saw that it was a magnifying glass, and after thanking him gratefully, he used the magnifying glass to observe.

I saw that the copper plate was printed with four words as "Daming banknotes", and the middle of the copper plate on the outer circle and the inner square was a vertical, and it was not in contact with the copper plate frame.

On the top of the copper plate, in block letters, it reads "One penny". On the right side of the copper plate is "Daming banknote", and on the left side is "through the world". The four sides of the paper are also printed with patterns, and there seems to be a dragon in the upper pattern in the middle.

When Wen Tiren saw this, his face became more and more serious, and at the same time he was a little surprised, when he looked up and was about to speak, he saw the emperor smiling at him and signaling: "There is still the opposite!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Wen Tiren had no choice but to pick up the top piece of paper, and looked at it in turn, the middle was the pattern on the deputy Sanchen flag, but it was different, representing the light of the stars, which was much longer in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and north.

Underneath the Sanchen pattern, there is also a line of small letters, printed with "One side is in trouble, all sides support!" ”

Wen Tiren couldn't understand what he meant, he looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, and wanted to speak again, but he heard the emperor say first: "Wen Qing is not in a hurry, wait until you read it all!" ”

Wen Tiren had no choice but to look at the papers below. He found that there were nine of these papers, or as they were printed, of which one, two, and five were of the same size, differing in the number of copper coins and the explanatory text;

The other three are one, two, and five coins, which are a little larger than the first three, but smaller than the last three. The color is no longer the most ordinary black, but black and red, of which red is just an embellishment.

The last three are one tael, two tael, five taels, these are color prints, far more exquisite than the previous ones. At the same time, on the pattern behind the banknote, the last one of five taels is a summary of all the sentences behind all the banknotes in front.

If one side is in trouble, all sides will support!

All of them are united, and their profits are broken!

The south is flooded and the north is dry, what a way!

Corrupt officials and corrupt officials will have to pay back sooner or later!

Defend the family and defend the country, and vow to die to the enemy!

Each does his duty, each does his duty!

The country is rich and the people are strong, live and work in peace and contentment!

Weijia Hai Neixi, the Quartet comes to congratulate!

Wen Tiren really couldn't see it, so after reading it, he transferred the notes to two other colleagues who stretched their necks sore, and then looked at the emperor again, wanting to understand.

Hu Guang seemed to be deliberately trying to hold him back, and spoke before him: "Wen Qing is not in a hurry, think about it first, and after the two of them finish reading, I will explain it in a unified manner." ”

"......" Wen Tiren had no choice but to shut up, his brain teaser was in a hurry, and he thought about it for himself first.

It didn't take long for Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi to read it, and they were shocked. They turned their heads to look at Shoufu Wen Tiren, and then turned back to look at the emperor, waiting for an explanation.

Hu Guang looked at the three of them and said with a slight smile: "The three Aiqing guessed well, this is the latest kind of Daming treasure banknotes that I am preparing to issue in the world!" ”

As soon as they heard this, confirming what they thought in their hearts, the three courtiers almost unanimously opened their mouths to advise: "Your Majesty, by all means! ”

Now the imperial court really has no money, this is a fact. But the emperor wants to solve the problem by issuing Daming treasure banknotes, which is really unrealistic, or rather, this is simply impossible!

"Why not?" Hu Guang immediately asked, "Didn't you see that this banknote is actually different from the Daming treasure banknote?" ”

"......" The three courtiers were speechless when they heard this, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

At the same time, they secretly thought to themselves: Hasn't the emperor become very powerful, why can he still say such childish words? Could it be that Taizu appeared before, and now he has become the young son of heaven who has not experienced much in the world?

Wen Tiren, as the first assistant, had no choice but to speak first and admonish: "Your Majesty, the minister admits that these treasure banknotes have indeed spent a lot of effort on printing, and they are much more exquisite than the original Daming treasure banknotes. But if Your Majesty wants to use this kind of banknote, the minister dares to assert that it will be the same as the original Daming treasure banknote, and it will only become a piece of waste paper in the end! ”

Daming treasure banknote is printed on mulberry paper, square, one foot high, six inches wide, cyan, outside the dragon pattern flower column, the horizontal inscription is printed with "Daming pass treasure banknote", and the inside is on both sides of the seal text eight characters "Daming treasure banknote world pass". In the picture of money, under which is printed "Zhongshu Province is allowed to print Ming treasure banknotes and copper coins for common use, forgers are beheaded, and those who accuse are rewarded with 250 taels of silver, and they are still given property to prisoners."

Wen Tiren is indeed telling the truth, these two banknotes are not at the same level in terms of feel, printing, or size application. At first glance, you can see that the former is intentional, while the latter is obviously average.

If the Daming treasure banknote is reissued, the responsibility will be the household book, so Bi Ziyan immediately followed and advised: "Your Majesty, the Ming treasure banknote will no longer be printed in the Zhengde period because it is really useless. Now if it is issued again, the result will be the same, it doesn't matter whether the Daming treasure banknote looks good or not! ”

At this time, only Xu Guangqi did not speak. Because one is what he wants to say, and his colleagues have already said it, and it is just a repetition when he says it.

Second, he found that this banknote is indeed more special, many things in it are ingenious, others may not recognize what the symbol in the copper coin is, but he knows that it is a number written by Xiyi, respectively, one, two, Wu; It seems that what Your Majesty said before, those things in Xiyi are not good, it is really possible, because Your Majesty also understands it!

Xu Guangqi's conclusion is: Your Majesty has put so much thought into it, and if you don't do it, there will be changes in other aspects!

Sure enough, I heard Hu Guang smile slightly: "I naturally know the disadvantages of the Ming treasure banknote!" If you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, it's easy! ”
