In the blink of an eye, the New Year Festival came to an end, and although Dong Ce didn't have to prepare how to celebrate the Lantern Festival, he had to get busy again.

Because of the relationship between him and Jinling, he couldn't do a lot of business things himself, but fortunately, Meng Feng had been in business since he was a child, and he was very stable, and Lu Qing and some stewards also came up with experience, and they shared a lot of trivial matters.

However, he can only do the design of the merchandise and the script of the play.

In the past ten days of the Chinese New Year, Dong Ce is not just sitting and drinking tea, he spends most of his time writing scripts and product design.

Now, he has completed two scripts, namely Farewell My Concubine and Demon Concubine Daji!

The former is a love story, which is essential, and the latter, which starts with a monster and then slowly opens up a world of mythology.

Don't look at Dong Ce now that he has begun to talk about science, in fact, many people don't believe this, and at present, those students can't understand his theory of the universe at all, but it feels novel at first, and after that, there is no after!

Dong Ce ignored it because he had a problem for himself!

In the past, most of the students of Tai Academy were messing around, even if they didn't study well, it was not difficult to get an official and a half-job by relying on their family relationships, which was why they were not impressed by Confucianism and were willing to accept more novel knowledge, but now, the imperial court is already paving the way for the imperial examination, and it won't be long before this road will be crowded with people.

If Dong Ce can't make his doctrine stand firm at this time, he will definitely be abandoned by the imperial examination era!

Everyone is busy studying Confucianism and taking the imperial examination, who will come to learn from your illusory heresy?

However, after deification, it is different, and among the deified characters now, in addition to the ancient gods such as Nuwa, they are the emperor and Lao Tzu.

At this time, Dong Ce started from King Wu's war, and participated in some unwarranted figures of Yanjiao and Buddhism, and made a list of gods, which will definitely be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although mythology and science seem to be opposites, in fact, science has always been unable to cover up religion, Sanqing, Shakyamuni, Jesus, etc., there have always been people who believe in it, so it can be seen that its existence cannot be ignored, after all, people still need to believe!

"What are you busy with?" Fang Shuwei walked behind Dong Ce and arranged his somewhat loose bun for him.

"Changing the script, some things are difficult to mix, but it took me a lot of effort." Dong Ce smiled bitterly!

"The woman with the hood from last time is here again!" Fang Shuwei said suddenly.

Dong Ce was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Fang Shuwei was immediately dissatisfied: "Why are you so nervous? By the way, who is that woman? Why do you come to you all the time? ”

"It's okay to tell you if you're thinking nonsense, but don't spread it, otherwise you and I will lose our heads!"

"Ahh Then I still don't know! Fang Shuwei also felt very strange, because every time this woman came, the people on the street disappeared!

Dong Ce walked out of the academy, and sure enough, he saw Empress Dowager Yin wearing a mink fur, standing outside wearing a hat, looking at Yunqu not far away in a daze.

Dong Ce stepped forward in two steps and arched his hand: "The grass people have seen the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Yin didn't speak, just waved her hand and signaled to say as she walked.

Dong Ce had no choice but to accompany the Queen Mother to press the road.

"I familiarized you with it last year, and this year we must let the mourning family see the results!" As she spoke, the Queen Mother took out a few rolls of paper from her sleeve and handed them to Dong Ce.

Dong Ce took it respectfully, opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help crying and laughing, these were actually the title deeds of the shops near Tianxiang College, no wonder Dong Ce found that there was no one in the shop next to him, and he thought he was going home for the New Year.

"However, it's not that I want to recruit, so they are willing to come!" Dong Ce frowned.

"This is your problem, the mourning family has already given you enough help." Empress Dowager Yin's words made Dong Ce depressed.

Even if you are the mother of a country, your mind will not be much broader.

"But!" The Queen Mother suddenly changed her words, took out a copper coin and showed it to Dong Ce, and said, "I need this!" ”

"It's time to come or it's coming!" Dong Ce sighed in his heart. The copper coin taken by the Queen Mother is the bargaining chip of the Zhou Da Gambling House!

"Isn't this a bargaining chip, how can the Queen Mother have such a thing? Could it be that the Queen Mother also likes to play two? Dong Ce was curious.

Empress Dowager Yin's hat moved slightly, and she seemed to be a little cold, but soon said coldly: "You are so bold, you still let the private coins circulate, you really don't take the national law seriously!" ”

"Wronged, absolutely wronged!" Dong Ce shook his head again and again, and said righteously: "The Queen Mother doesn't know, because the copper coins flowing in the gambling house are too huge, and it is extremely troublesome to count, and often waste time in order to count the money, which causes customers to be dissatisfied, so Zhou Yuanwai found the upper and lower and asked the lower to think of a way for him, so there is this chip, but the chip is a chip after all, and it is useless in the place where there is no Zhou Da Gambling House, and the gambler holds the chip ......."

"Enough!" The Queen Mother couldn't help but scold, although through the hat net, Dong Ce could still feel a pair of eyes glaring at him fiercely.

"The mourners want to know, how difficult is it to copy this chip?"

Dong Ce smiled and said, "Not long after the chips appeared, some people began to imitate them, and the result was naturally a waste of effort. ”

"The chips are exquisitely made, and it is impossible to imitate them exactly the same without a template, but if you want to imitate seven or eight points, it is also futile! Because as long as there is one in hand, the comparison between the two can tell at a glance whether it is true or false! ”

Dong Ce said, he actually took out a chip, and then took out a carving knife and slowly cut through the surface of the chip, handed it to the Queen Mother and continued: "In addition, the chip is not all copper, there are iron pieces in it, in addition to the reaction to the Xuanshi, it is also heavier than all copper in weight, in order to make people see this deviation more accurately, a kind of balance scale is designed below, which is also crooked, and most of the people who buy the balance scale are pharmacies!" ”

"But is it that no one can imitate it?" The Queen Mother carefully looked at the copper coin that Dong planned to break in her hat.

Dong Ce's chips are better than Yuan Datou's craftsmanship in later generations, and he wants to imitate exactly the same in this year, unless the mold is stolen!

Shaking his head, Dong Ce told the Queen Mother about the difficulties of production, and said: "As for whether the craftsman will learn to make privately, or secretly mint money for himself, it is not impossible, but it is very difficult, because we are three people cooperating, and we have sent cronies to monitor, and the entry and exit need to be strictly checked by the three parties, and the weight of copper and iron should also be detained as much as possible, and checked every day. ”

If the Queen Mother is not impressed, it is impossible, she also asked many ministers, and learned that the chips are indeed difficult to imitate, at least the imperial court can't do it!

If the imperial court levied the foundry, then the problem of scarcity of copper coins that had been plaguing them would be solved, of course, it was not good news for guys like Taiping Dao who took the opportunity to store and look at copper coins!

But Taiping Dao can't stop it, because it's good for the world, which is why they burned down the foundry and postponed the advent of copper coins, and during this period, they must have changed hands!

After Dong Ce explained, he smiled bitterly: "The Queen Mother doesn't want to grab food with us Xiaomin!" ”

How could Empress Dowager Yin not know what Dong Ce was thinking, snorted coldly, and said, "Don't worry, except for you, there will be no less one who should be rewarded!" ”

The implication is that both Lu Kexuan and Zhou Dahai may be officials, but Dong Ce has regulations on teaching and cannot enter the office!

"Queen Mother, don't you really want to turn the chips used in private gambling houses into national money, do you?" Dong Ce frowned.

"If it's hard to imitate, why not? However, the value cannot be worth one piece, at most 100 Wen! "Empress Dowager Yin is obviously thoughtful, otherwise she would not have this opinion. (To be continued.) )
