Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, the old thing of Xuanzong is because of Xuanzong's benevolence, and the subordinates still follow the two names without being biased, and there has never been a matter of two names at the same time. Now His Majesty has engraved the whole name on the sword, which is really an unprecedented thing, so the ministers are afraid. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The meaning of the first assistant, I understand it in my heart. This matter was deliberately done by me, because I deliberately checked the matter of avoidance these days, and found that the system of avoidance began in the Zhou Dynasty, but it was only avoided in this temple. The avoidance of the living is very unstrict or does not make requirements, at that time there were so-called reading, writing, and suspicion. Whether it is in the "Rites" or the "Spring and Autumn Period", the name of the king is not shy about it. ”

"But after entering the Han Dynasty, avoidance became stricter, such as Liu Bang's state changed to the country, Lu Pheasant changed to pheasant for the latter, and Liu Xiu's Xiushi Xiucai changed to Maocai, all of which can be seen that evasion has become popular at that time."

"Avoidance is divided into the venerable, the relatives, and the sage. Don't worry about keeping it secret for your relatives, because it's someone else's family matter, but for the sake of the Venerable and the sage, I think there is something to discuss. ”

Ye Xianggao said angrily: "Does Your Majesty want to abolish avoidance? The old minister never dared to agree with this matter. ”

Fang Congzhe, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan also said together: "Please think deeply, Your Majesty!" ”

Sun Chuanting hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing avoidance is a matter of great importance, and if you act rashly, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar." ”

Ye Conggao said: "What are you afraid of, you will definitely be." ”

Zhu Youxiao saw that the five ministers were all opposed, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Then there was an awkward silence in the temple.

Bi Ziyan wanted to break this silence, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you just don't shy away from Your Majesty's name, because Xuanzong used to do it, the Loyal and Brave Sword can only be obtained by a few people, but it doesn't have much of a ripple." As for the other evasions, even if His Majesty decrees, it is not a problem that can be solved for a while. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him gratefully and said, "Then I just don't shy away from my name first, and my ancestors follow the principle of not being biased between the two names, how about it?" ”

Ye Xianggao sighed, this emperor is good at everything, and he is usually willing to listen to the opinions of the ministers, but sometimes his thoughts are really unpredictable? Why did you go out of your way to take out the matter of avoidance? Obviously, he has already praised the saints to a very high height, but he wants to avoid this matter, I really can't understand it.

In fact, he complicated Zhu Youxiao's thinking, Zhu Youxiao just felt that it was inconvenient to avoid this matter in his daily life, and this matter was meaningless in his opinion. If it is said that to respect ancestors and sages, it is not a good way to avoid them, and isn't it more effective and better to use the method of building ancestral shrines to worship?

Zhu Youxiao said: "Since the two names are not partial, then I have two things I want to change." One is the name of the school, and the other is the dollar of the coin. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "If Your Majesty must insist, the school is ancient, but there is not much difference between the school and the school, why must it be changed?" A dollar old minister also thinks it's good, although it's a little vulgar, but money is originally a vulgar thing, isn't it normal to use a vulgar name? ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Because I am going to establish a complete monetary system, the units set are yuan, jiao, and cent. And using blocks as units makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

Everyone doesn't understand why it's okay to use yuan, but it's uncomfortable to use blocks. But it's just a trivial matter, anyway, some people use the word ingots now. And the name school is actually not much different from the school, but the emperor must use the school. It seems that the emperor just wants to make a gesture of not being shy about it, preferring to let his name and that of his ancestors be used at will.

Bi Ziyan asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you think that using block words will make people think of a piece of silver?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "With this in mind, it is more formal to use yuan as a unit." The block word is indeed too vulgar, and I hope that everyone will not treat coins as vulgar things, and block can be used as a common name for yuan at most. ”

Ye Xianggao said: "The number of loyal and brave swords is small anyway, and this old minister's opposition is invalid." But now that the school is good, must it be changed to a school? ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "This is not necessary. But in the future, a new school will be built, and in order to distinguish it from the original school, it can be named after the school. For example, the lecture hall is now a training school for officers, and if a similar school is set up in the future, it will be called a military school, and it will be a military school divided into different branches. ”

Ye Xianggao nodded and said: "If it's just like this, the old minister thinks it's okay, I just hope that Your Majesty can reduce the number of loyal and brave swords, and it's best not to engrave the full name on it." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and did not speak. Ye Xianggao also knew that now that the wood was in the boat, the emperor would not agree not to engrave his full name, but as soon as he thought that it was his own name, he let him forget it, as long as he didn't say all the avoidances.

So he avoided it, at least now Zhu Youxiao has the upper hand. Although it was only twenty swords, the weekly newspaper deliberately noted all the words engraved on the Zhongyong sword when reporting on the graduation ceremony of the martial arts, which let everyone know that the emperor was not willing to shy away from his name. Since the emperor has done this, if some officials avoid their reputations, wouldn't it mean that they are more noble than the emperor.

The Daming Royal Bank also deliberately proposed in the weekly newspaper that it would issue new copper coins: dangwuwen and dangwuwen copper coins. One dollar of silver is renamed one yuan, fifty copper coins are called one dime, and five copper coins are called one cent. The original copper coins continue to circulate, and with one dime and one cent, you can exchange silver coins and copper coins at any time at the bank, and there is no handling fee.

The difference between the dime and the penny copper coin was limited in weight to the penny, and when it was first issued, the public would be suspicious that it was a way for the imperial court to deprive the people of their wealth. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao asked the bank to exchange silver coins and copper coins at any time, as long as it lasted for a period of time, everyone would recognize a dime and a penny of copper coins, and the convenience they had was obviously stronger than that of a copper coin. Zhu Youxiao believes that within a few years, the credit of this new monetary system will be established, and this can greatly reduce the mint's copper bar consumption, and can provide a very important reference for the method of issuing paper money, and it will be relatively easier to accept paper money after everyone is used to the dime and cent.

Sure enough, after the issuance of the new currency, no one came to the bank to exchange Jiao and Fen at all. However, agricultural cooperatives began to use dimes and cents in their transactions, and claimed that they were welcome to use dimes and cents, and that they could enjoy certain discounts when purchasing items from agricultural cooperatives.
