Chapter 504: Minting New Coins (4)

Ouyang Xun knelt in front of Li Jiancheng, and in Ouyang Xun's heart, there was both the nervousness of being received by Li Jiancheng for the first time - the lesson of a son of heaven and a courtier was profound! Although he and his family have experienced several crises, and he has been lucky to survive, whether it is Emperor Chen Xuan, Emperor Yang of Sui, Yu Wenhua, Dou Jiande or the current Emperor Li Yuan, Ouyang Xun believes that he has experienced these generations of emperors, and these emperors, Ouyang Xun feels that no matter which one they are, Ouyang Xun is easy to deal with them, only by treating Li Jiancheng, Ouyang Xun himself knows that today's person, a person who can get the true inheritance of Taishang Laojun and help the people's livelihood, can never be pondered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you don't work hard, then the famous sentence of the Southern Dynasty that the Southern Dynasty clan often sings: In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan, the artistic conception of flying into the homes of ordinary people will appear in his own family. In addition, along the way, Ouyang Xun has also been thinking, why did Li Jiancheng summon him? It is very likely that the coin pattern designed by himself has entered Li Jiancheng's eyes, and since ancient times, it is no trivial matter for the king to summon him, perhaps, this summoning is a good opportunity for him to become an important minister of the new dynasty. Thinking of this, Ouyang Xun's heart swelled with a kind of hope, a hope that his family could continue to prosper.

Li Jiancheng helped Ouyang Xun up:

"Oops! Ouyang Aiqing, please get up and sit down! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Aiqing! I read the Kaiyuan Tongbao and the drawings you wrote, I want to hear from Aiqing, how did Aiqing come up with the four words Kaiyuan Tongbao? As soon as Ouyang Xun heard Li Jiancheng praise his Kaiyuan Tongbao, he immediately knew that this was an opportunity for himself to show his talent.

"Your Majesty! At the beginning of our dynasty, we continued to use Sui five baht, which was light and mixed. In order to rectify the chaotic currency system, His Majesty abolished Sui money, followed the strict norms of the Western Han Dynasty five baht, and began to mint new coins, which is a great virtue, in addition, the name of five baht, as early as in the Qin and Han dynasties, began to use, so it is impossible to use the name of five baht, to use a new name, so Weichen to Kaiyuan as the head, homophonic open source meaning, in addition to this currency must be through the world, and money is the treasure of the world's collection, so Weichen named Tongbao. Weichen is only shallow in learning, please rule on the emperor, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive the emperor! Ouyang Xun heard Li Jiancheng's love for Kaiyuan Tongbao from Li Jiancheng's words just now. Therefore, although the words are modest, it is still difficult to hide the pride in the words. Li Jiancheng smiled:

"Hmmm! Ouyang Aiqing, I think the Kaiyuan Tongbao you designed is very good, not bad, very good! I decided that this new coin would be made according to the pattern designed by Aiqing! Moreover, for the minting of new coins, I decided to let Aiqing supervise the minting, and let the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cooperate with Aiqing to handle it. Ouyang Xun heard Li Jiancheng's praise, his heart was already happy, and when he heard that Li Jiancheng handed over the work of supervising the minting of new coins to himself, he immediately got up from his chair and knelt in front of Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty, Weichen is trusted by Your Majesty, and the minister will definitely be for Your Majesty." Minting new money has always been the way for money to advance, but Li Jiancheng knows that Ouyang Xun's ethics are good, plus Ouyang Xun is a person who values fame over profit, and there are officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assist, plus Li Jiancheng also has a secret unicorn secret guard, Li Jiancheng believes that the matter of minting new coins will be handed over to Ouyang Xun, and Ouyang Xun will definitely do a good job. As Li Jiancheng expected, the minting of new coins went very smoothly, but there was another problem, that is, the circulation of coins. In the past, the issuance of coins was through the local government through taxation, the old coins were recovered, and then exchanged for new coins, but now Li Jiancheng's local officials also minted private coins on their own, and even if local officials did not mint coins privately, those local officials would definitely do tricks on the exchange price, Li Jiancheng decided to imitate the Celestial Empire in later generations, with the central bank only responsible for the manufacture of currency, and the issuance, all by other commercial banks or reputable large merchants to issue new coins to help the circulation of new currency. Li Jiancheng thought of this and issued an order to Mingyu's father-in-law:

"Mingyu, quickly summon Di Renjie, the commander of the Qilin Secret Guard, and I have something important to discuss with Di Commander." After Di Renjie heard Li Jiancheng's summons, he immediately came to Li Jiancheng:

"Your Majesty! I was summoned to meet the driver! ”

"Huaiying, I have found you today, I have something important to hand over to you, and you come here with your ears......"

"Yes! Be! Wei Chen obeyed the order...... Di Renjie kept nodding.

Early the next morning, dozens of fast horses ran out of Chang'an, and ran to Qilu, Jingchu, Hedong and Jiangnan. In Wuzhong, Jiangnan, in the ancestral house of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiling, the current patriarch of the Zhang family, is practicing martial arts and dancing in the courtyard.

"Hmmm! Hum! Ha ...... "Zhang Jiling's dance of the tiger and tiger, there is a stone pier in the courtyard, Zhang Jiling raised a knife and cut the stone pier into two sections. Zhang Jiling's biological mother is an orchid in the Western Regions, so Zhang Jiling is born with divine power, so Zhang Jiling's knife skills are mainly strong, after Zhang Jiling finished dancing the knife, he took the towel that the next person held and wiped his sweat. The people were busy putting on new stone piers. Zhang Jiling doesn't know how happy he is these days, at the beginning, in the former Sui period, Zhang Jiling was still the king of Jin Yang Guang, when Yang Guang, the king of Jin, just became the governor of Yangzhou, Zhang Jiling was the first to show loyalty to Yang Guang The children of the Jiangnan clan, later, Yang Guang succeeded in winning the succession, and supported the Zhang family in Wuzhong, Jiangnan, Zhang Jiling also took this opportunity to defeat his half-brothers, subdued several other families, and sat on the throne of the patriarch of Jiangnan Wuzhong, later, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua, and then Xiao Milling and Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo together ravaged Jiangnan, Jiangnan Wuzhong Zhang family's business, to be precise, Zhang Jiling's subordinate industrial business was greatly affected, fortunately Zhang Jiling himself sent his son Zhang Qiancai to the Jingchu area, and by chance, Li Jiancheng got into a relationship, and with Li Tang's unification of the Central Plains, Zhang Jiling scolded and sat firmly in the position of the patriarch of the Zhang family in Wuzhong, Jiangnan, and then, Li Yuan abdicated, Li Jiancheng ascended the throne as the emperor After the news came, Zhang Jiling even felt that he was like God's help, and anyone who wanted to offend his authority would be crushed like powder. Just when Zhang Jiling was thinking about things, at this time, the porter came to report:

"Report to the master, the emperor's edict is here."

"Oh! Hurry up and change your clothes, hurry up and greet them. Zhang Jiling immediately changed into his regular clothes and greeted the angel.

"Grass Folk Zhang Jiling See Angel!"

"Bully! Zhang Da was in charge of the family quickly, and I heard that Zhang Jiling, the head of the Zhang family in Wuzhong, Jiangnan, was loyal and righteous in Jiangnan, and was known as a righteous businessman in Jiangnan. After Zhang Jiling listened to the holy decree, he immediately bowed down to accept it.

"The grass people receive the order, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" After Zhang Jiling received the decree, he secretly sent a bag of gold and silver to the eunuch who passed the decree, and asked the eunuch about Li Jiancheng's intentions.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the matter with Your Majesty's summoning of the grass people this time?" The eunuch who delivered the decree weighed the bag in his hand. Smile at Zhang Jiling:

"Zhang Da is in charge, please Zhang Da in charge of the family, after receiving the emperor's holy decree, the will will be carried out as soon as it arrives, and our family will go first." The eunuch who passed the decree knew how Li Yuan's personal eunuch Father-in-law Wanyue died, and now everyone has a sharp sword hanging on their heads, and everyone is thinking that their head is still on their neck. Zhang Jiling found that the eunuch was different from usual, and felt strange in his heart. However, he only said in his heart, 'It seems that I will not be able to find out any more news from His Majesty's side in the future.' Zhang Jiling followed the eunuch who passed the decree all the way along the official road, through Luoyang and Tongguan all the way to Guanzhong, and there were people everywhere waiting to be fed:

"Uncle, please give me some money!"

"Uncle! You bought me! "I saw that the previously prosperous Guanzhong official road was full of disaster victims waiting for alms. and those who fled. Zhang Jiling asked people to ask, only to know that it was the Turks who bypassed the Yan'an fortress from the north, advanced all the way, and looted in the Huayin area, making Guanzhong panic, and Qin King Li Shimin secretly ambushed troops in Xuanwu Gate, intending to assassinate the current saint Li Jiancheng and Qi King Li Yuanji, as well as Zhao King Li Yuanba and Qin King Li Shimin attacked each other, the Tiance army of Qin Wangfu and the Longxi army under the command of Zhao Wangfu also attacked each other, and looted Chang'an, if it were not for the current Shengshang to deal with it properly, I am afraid that the entire Chang'an and Guanzhong will be destroyed in the hands of the Turks and Li Tang's own internal strife, and the outside of Guanzhong will definitely be affected, and the Central Plains will be torn apart at that time. And what touched Zhang Jiling the most was that in order to help the victims of Guanzhong, Li Jiancheng ordered the palace to lead the princes, princesses, and concubines in the palace to eat vegetarian diets in addition to the emperor, and donated all the gold, silver and jewelry in the inner palace except for a part to the Turks to relieve the victims. After listening to the words of the servant, Zhang Jiling sighed:

"Hey! Qian Cai'er is really ignorant, why didn't he disclose any news in advance, if I knew that it was so difficult in the pass, I must bring more money and money to help Your Majesty tide over the difficulties. But what Zhang Jiling didn't know was that Zhang Qiancai couldn't be blamed, because it was Li Jiancheng who ordered that in order to prevent the news from being exposed, Guanzhong officials were not allowed to disclose any news to the outside world to prevent panic from the outside world. It was just an order to let the tax money and grain from other places be transported to Chang'an in Guanzhong as soon as possible to alleviate the disaster in Guanzhong. Zhang Jiling came to the gate of Taiji Palace and saw his 'old friends' - Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and other three.

"Hmmm! These three people are here too! Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and other three people were the heroes of Li Jiancheng's handling of the salt shortage in Guanzhong and making the snow sugar spread all over the world at that time. However, it is also the biggest competitor in Zhang Jiling's heart. However, Zhang Jiling still warmly greeted Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and other three.

"Ahh Lu Da is in charge, Evergrande is in charge, Gong Da is in charge! You're here too. Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and other three people saw Zhang Jiling and greeted them warmly:

"Ahh Zhang Da is in charge! His Majesty summoned him by decree, so he had to hurry up immediately. Although Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and the other three are also very enthusiastic about Zhang Jiling, Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan and the other three have the same plan as Zhang Jiling - this guy is competing for favor with Lao Tzu at first glance. Just when Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan, Zhang Jiling and other four people were staring at each other, Mingyu's father-in-law came to the palace gate and announced:

"There is a decree in the saint, Xuan Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan, Zhang Jiling and other four are the four who are in charge of the house and enter the palace to face the saint!" Lu Shengzhi, Heng Guangyuan, Gong Yinan, Zhang Jiling and other four people, under the leadership of Mingyu's father-in-law, walked into the Taiji Palace.
