Although Shao did not report the matter, Yang Jian was very happy to learn of the matter, and said to the Dugu clan: "The prince lives up to my trust, and he is really a good minister." ”

Queen Dugu is worried about another thing, Yang Guang is fourteen years old, and several of his younger brothers have already decided on family affairs, but Yang Guang was rejected because of Dugu's fancy Dou family, and the family affairs have not yet been decided, and said to Yang Jian: "Your Majesty, Amor has been the king of Jin for more than a year, it's time to marry him, you might as well test the ministers tomorrow to see which family has a good daughter who can be worthy of Amo." ”

Yang Jian smiled at Queen Dugu and said: "Prince, Jun'er, Xiu'er, which of their marriages is not the queen's decision, the queen can directly order the ministers, so why do I need to do this." ”

Queen Dugu's family has been noble and prosperous for generations, and likes to read and study since childhood, and Yang Jian was fostered in the nunnery until he was thirteen years old before being picked up by his father, so that he had the opportunity to read and write, although Yang Jian is more than ten years older than Dugu's, he is too much worse than Dugu in terms of learning, after the two get married, Yang Jian has to discuss with Dugu every major event, and many loopholes that Yang Jian is not aware of are often filled by Dugu's family, and Queen Dugu is helping Yang Jian a lot.

Yang Jian became the emperor, and every day when he came to the court, Queen Dugu went side by side with him in a sedan chair, and accompanied Yang Jian to the door of the main hall of the early dynasty. Moreover, the eunuchs were sent to observe Emperor Wen's behavior, and if they found that there was a mistake in the government, they immediately asked the eunuchs to pass on the news and advise and correct it. After Yang Jian retreated, he returned to the dormitory with Yang Jian.

Although there are many women in the harem, they are all selected by the queen, and Yang Jian has been the emperor for more than a year, and he has not even had a chance to cheat. For the Dugu family, Yang Jian is both loving and respectful. I didn't know it was joking.

Queen Dugu scolded: "A concubine woman, how can she be in politics? If the future generations take precautions, won't they blame the concubine, and the concubine can't start this. ”

Yang Jian said in his heart, you are still called not to interfere in politics, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are all called by the two saints, and you and I are side by side, but this must not be declared. Yang Jian's heart suddenly moved: "Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang has several daughters, and one of them can be chosen as Ammo's wife." ”

Although the Liang State only had two states, it was in the middle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The Liang State has always relied on the protection of the Great Zhou Dynasty to not be destroyed by the Chen State, at the beginning of the emperor's reign. In order to prevent the Liang State from causing chaos, Yang Jian also sent an envoy to Jiangling to reward Xiao Yue with 500 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 500 good horses, just to prevent the Liang State from falling to the Chen State, and now the Great Sui even the Turks have repelled it. Yang Jian felt more and more that Liang, a small country, did not have the necessary to continue to exist. Now let Yang Guang marry the princess of Liang Guo. It is to peacefully bring the Liang State into the territory of the Great Sui.

Dugu and Yang Jian had a heart, and nodded: "The daughter of Liang Yue is also a princess." It's not an insult to Amour, just according to what the emperor said. ”

Yang Jian immediately sent an envoy to pass the edict, rewarding Wang Shao with one hundred taels of gold and four concubines, commending him for his meritorious service to the teaching of King Jin, and the imperial envoy also gave King Jin a will, which did not blame Yang Guang for digging lakes and filling mountains without authorization, but commended him for knowing his mistakes and being able to change, and let him return to Chang'an, preparing to go to Jiangling to choose a wife for himself.

Jiangnan women are known for their gentleness and grace, and are famous for their knowledge, and the daughter of the emperor is even more elegant, Yang Guang was overjoyed when he received the holy decree, although Yang Guang may not have much affection for Dou Shiya, he must marry her, but for Dou Shiya's refusal, Yang Guang will feel somewhat uncomfortable on his face, and now that the object of his marriage is the princess of a country, Yang Guang finally balances his heart.

Yang Yong naturally also knew what the King of Jin did in Bingzhou, and he had to admire the cleverness of his fourteen-year-old brother, who obviously violated the emperor's order to dig lakes and mountains in the back garden, so he had to admit his mistake a little, not only was not blamed by the emperor, but was rewarded, however, Yang Yong did not have time to put it on Yang Guang for the time being, at least for a few years, Yang Guang would not be a threat to himself, what he had to do now was to work hard to do his position as the prince.

It is now May of the second year of the emperor's reign, and now the summer harvest has not yet arrived, the weather has become hot, and people will sweat only a little when they move, but Yang Yong has to take Li Gang, Fei Zheng, Liu Xingben and other people from the prince's mansion to run to the craftsman workshop of the court one by one.

There was a clanging sound everywhere in the craftsman's workshop, and those craftsmen were bare-chested, sweating like rain, and the distance was red, and the craftsman scooped up the hot copper juice and poured it on the mold of the ground, and suddenly there was a sizzling sound.

This is a coinage workshop, as early as last year when the Great Sui was established, Yang Yong played to the emperor, the copper coins circulating in the Great Sui were uneven, the private money was flooded, and the currency system was chaotic, which was not conducive to the flow of goods

A new coin must be minted.

Yang Jian agreed to Yang Yong's proposal, however, another mint of new coins must choose a good time, in the past, many of the big coins minted by the Great Zhou had to be ten or hundred, and they had to be abolished, and it was impossible for the Sui court to exchange them according to their ground value, which was a huge loss for the merchants and commoners who had these big coins in their hands, and if they were added to the opposition of those nobles who benefited from private money, it would cause a new rebellion if they were not careful, so it was only now that they really began to mint new money.

Two workers carried a large basket of golden copper coins to Yang Yong, this is the new coin that has just been minted, Yang Yong picked up a piece and put it in front of him, the diameter of this copper coin is 2.3~2: wide, and the right five characters are straight to form an internal line. The front of the copper coin is slender and neat, and the strokes are slightly thick, but it does not lose the exquisite and beautiful style.

This kind of money is minted by the five baht coins of the Han Dynasty, however, compared with the five baht of the Han Dynasty, the newly minted money is far smoother and smoother than the five baht of the Han Dynasty, this is because the way of casting money has been greatly improved, from the original fan casting to the mother money turning sand and casting money.

This kind of money has a heavy feeling in your hand, which is far better than the money circulating in the market now, Yang Yong said left and right: "Li Qing, Liu Qing, Fei Qing, you also see, how is the new money?" ”

The three of them also hurriedly followed suit, took a copper coin from the basket and put it in their hands to look at it carefully, Li Gang first said: "Congratulations to the prince, this money is heavy and exquisite, as long as it is put in, the people will be happy to use it." ”

Liu Xingben and Fei Zheng also nodded again and again: "The prince has made meritorious contributions to casting money, and the emperor will definitely praise the prince when he sees new money." ”

Casting money is related to the stability of the entire Great Sui, Yang Yong did not dare to be careless, since the beginning of the coinage, almost every day for a month to the coinage workshop to come, now finally see the sample, Yang Yong also showed a smile on his face, and asked the head of the coinage workshop who has been standing beside him: "How much can be minted a day?" ”

"Back to the prince, now it's just a trial casting, and you can only mint one or two thousand yuan a day, and after a month, you can reach 10,000 yuan a day."

Thousands of dollars are minted every day, only more than three million yuan a year, from the previous household statistics, the court and private people cast copper coins every year are about three or four million yuan, many money is melted and cast, cast and melted, Yang Yong remembered that his sugar transaction alone costs more than two million yuan a year, and he couldn't help but shake his head, the money circulating in the market is definitely more than three million.

Although the Great Sui now maintains the pattern of silk and copper parallel, due to the uneven quality of copper coins, and even many people Ning Yuan used silk cloth as money, but the country wants to develop, silk cloth must be withdrawn, this new money comes out, the people should not refuse, more than 3 million copper coins are still too little for the entire Great Sui, if you want new money to circulate quickly throughout the country, at least ten times.

"Immediately recruit manpower and expand production, and the palace requires more than 100,000 yuan of money to be minted every day."

"Yes." The coin manager was a little reluctant to speak.

"What, are there any difficulties?"

"Back to the prince, there is no difficulty in recruiting personnel, but if it is expanded tenfold, the copper in the foundry will only be enough for February, and after February, if there is no new copper, there will be no copper available in the foundry."

Yang Yong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, once the new money is used, the old money from all over the country will inevitably be collected again, and there will be no shortage of copper used in the workshop." ”

The chief steward was satisfied: "With the prince's guarantee, there is no problem with the humble position." ”

After visiting the coin casting field, Yang Yongcai returned with satisfaction, and when he arrived at the East Palace, Liu Xingben said to Yang Yong: "Prince, the minister is worried that after February, copper may not be able to be supplied. ”

Yang Yong was puzzled: "How come, the new money weighs four catties and two taels for a thousand dollars, although most of the old coins are only a little more than three catties per thousand, but the court exchange is not one for one, but by weight, and a thousand copper coins will be issued, and four catties and two taels of copper will definitely be recovered, is Liu Aiqing worried in vain?" ”

"Prince, the new money has more copper and less tin, and the old money has more tin and less copper, and the ministers are afraid that there will be unscrupulous merchants who use the old money to extract new money, and then use the new money to recast into old money, so that the cycle will be repeated, and no matter how much money the court casts, it is useless."

Copper money is not all copper, still copper tin alloy, copper is expensive and tin cheap, the money that was privately minted in the past is to increase the amount of tin as much as possible, resulting in the copper money white, commonly known as white money, the government has no choice but to issue when ten hundred of the five elements of the cloth, Yongtong Wanguo and other money, otherwise the money cast by the government will be taken away by profiteers as soon as it comes to the hands of the people, re-turned into copper juice, increase the amount of tin, in order to seek huge profits, this is the origin of bad money to drive out good money.
