Chapter 85 Huaxia Tongbao (Part 2)

"Uh..." Ha Ma didn't expect that there could be so many cats hidden in a piece of silver, and his face suddenly turned blue. How greedy the officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty were, he knew very well in his own heart. If they can really deduct more than one percent of the fire consumption, even if they don't have the silver in their hands, they will try their best to conjure up the silver!

was so angry that he was half dead, but he heard Sang Ge add in a low voice, "The difference between official silver and private bank is even greater. On the surface, it is the official silver that is in better condition. But in fact, when the people use private money to deliver large quantities of goods, both sides will send account offices and men to verify the fineness of the scattered silver, and then weigh it with a poke, and count it clearly in front of each penny. With official silver, it is mostly five taels or ten taels and one ingot, and the number can be entered into the account after the number is counted. In this way, in some places, when casting official silver, they deliberately make many bubbles in the silver water. On the surface, the silver ingots are all exactly the same size. In fact, it is not surprising that the difference in the size of silver ingots is half a tael. Anyway, both sides are public-to-public, library-to-library, never take it out to spend, it doesn't matter how much it is..."

Before Hama could get angry, Timur was so angry that he kicked over the table. Thieves, thieves dare. I, I've got to skin them... Behead them all over the house as an example..."

Hama, Pu Buhua, Sang Ge Li, and the eunuchs and palace maids present were all so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard. Your Majesty's dragon body is important, it's not worth being angry with these corrupt officials..."

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry, they dare to send fake silver into the palace..." Hama, go and check, you send someone to check for me. Look at the treasury and the treasury of various places, how much silver in the town treasury is hollow. I, I'm going to find out..."

"Yes, Wechen will send someone to do it right away..."Hama agreed loudly and got up, walking backwards on his legs and outward. Before turning around, he didn't forget to glare at the daredevil, hating that this person shouldn't have put a well-known thing on the table.

"Stop, come back...", Tuhuan Timur, but from his small movements, he guessed a few clues. kicked at the table and shouted, "Don't worry. I'll go back when we figure out what happened today. Sang Ge lost, you go on, what else is so greasy that I don't know? …”

"This" Sango glanced at him hesitantly, but the latter didn't want to pay any more attention to him, pursed his lips, and quickly turned his head away.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger first..."Sang Ge lost no instructions, so he had to hold on to his own thoughts first. I saw that he got up first, helped Tuhuan Timur pick up the bookcase, and then said in a low voice while packing up the folds on the ground, "Actually, what Weichen said before is all speculation. What the specific truth is, Weichen is not clear. Maybe the ministers were too careful and wronged the officials in the provinces. Maybe it's because of what the prime minister said before, because of the high prices in Jingzhou..."

"Then tell me, what are the prices in Jingzhou?" Tuhuan Timur interrupted impatiently. He is a smart man, and after venting, he has figured out in his heart that freezing three feet is not a day's cold. Therefore, the attention was shifted from the hollow official bank to the price of private rice and grain.

"The liter must have risen, but it is not a soaring..."Sang Ge pondered for a moment, but still decided to tell the truth, "The weather is warm over there, and the wheat is harvested early. As soon as the new grain comes down, food prices will turn flat. As far as Weichen knows, it was only in April that the price of grain was more than twice as expensive as in previous years. By mid-May, it was slowly falling back to one and a half times the price of last year's grain..."

"Huh? Tuhuan Timur couldn't hear the answer he wanted, and his brows furrowed again, "Isn't that the hollow silver causing trouble?" I, if I find out when I go back"

"Your Majesty is angry, Wei Chen still has a speculation, I don't know if it's correct or not, I want to ask Your Majesty and Prime Minister to consider..."

"Tell me... Say everything that comes to mind... You are my junior, it doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing..."Tuhuan Timur took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the raging fire in his heart.

"How many kinds of money does Weichen have here, I don't know if Your Majesty has seen it?" When Sanger was allowed to do so, he quickly straightened up. From the pocket of his underwear, he took out a few yellow and white objects and placed them on the desk of Tuhuan Timur one by one.

He was born in the cowardly Xue and belonged to the category of absolute loyalty and reliability in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, when he entered the palace, the eunuchs on duty did not seriously search his body. At this moment, he suddenly saw the light of metal, Pu Buhua hurriedly flashed over, and while blocking Tuhuan Timur behind him, he screamed, "Be bold, bring iron into the palace, you still want to rebel..."

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, Weichen, Weichen just wants to show His Majesty a real thing... There is no intention to murder His Majesty..."Sang Ge was so frightened that he realized that he was no longer a coward, and he could not bring any metal objects into and out of the palace without authorization. Kneeling straight on the ground and defending loudly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, you old thing... It's so confusing... If even my cowardice wants to murder me, who else can I trust? Tuhuan Timur was not confused, first kicked Pu Buhua away, and then walked quickly to the back of the bookcase and sat down. Pick up the object that Sang Ge lost and play with slowly, "This, this is a copper coin?" This, how many pieces of iron is this? This, unbelievable, there are silver and gold. This thief is really good at tricks..."

"It is a coin issued by the Huai thief this summer, and it is divided into four types: gold, silver, copper, and steel. Gold dollars are rare, and each one is worth ten silver dollars. Each silver dollar is exchanged for a hundred copper coins. For each copper coin, ten steel coins. Sango scrambled over and explained the coins on the table.

"One for a hundred, what kind of weird exchange is this?" Tuhuan Timur listened curiously, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Speaking of money, Sang Ge's eyes immediately began to light up again, "This Huaiyang copper coin is probably two more than an ordinary small flat coin." Therefore, a hundred copper coins weigh almost 200 small flat coins. And ten silver dollars, the weight is about a little over a tael. The fineness of each silver dollar is ninety percent silver, and one percent lead and copper, that is, ten silver dollars just folded into one tael of sterling silver. One tael of sterling silver is just enough to fold a thousand Huai'an copper coins. One thousand Huai'an copper coins can be converted to at least two thousand small flat coins, which is almost equal to the price of silver on the market..."

"What do you mean, you just say it... I have a headache when I hear so many numbers..."Tuhuan Timur's eyes were glazed with a frown.

"Yes..."Sangeri agreed loudly, but when he carried it out, he continued to lead everyone in circles, "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. The minister dared to ask His Majesty to take a look at the thief's money, and then evaluate its texture and quality..."

"Well, I'm up to you...", remembering that he had once been his own cowardice, Temur replied with a frown.

"Prime Minister, Pu Gong, and the juniors also invite the two of you to come together to evaluate the money made by the Huai thief..."

Hama was already very disgusted with him, but when he saw that Timur was looking at him very seriously, he forced his anger and leaned over and carefully examined the coins on the bookcase.

Pu Buhua was specifically for the emperor's favor, so he also squatted down and made a serious comment, "Ah, this thief's craftsmanship is really good... It's just that it's not used in the right way, and you look at the good money, and you have to make a lot of jagged teeth around it... It's a lot of a lot, it's a lot of a lot..."

"I'm afraid that someone will use a knife to cut the silver dust from above. It's ingenious, I don't know how much effect it can do..."Tuhuan Timur is good at making instruments, and with a little thought, he threw Pu Buhua's sycophant out of the streets I don't know how many. "All the copper coins are the same weight, the hardness is moderate, the color is bright, I'm afraid the copper in it accounts for at least sixty percent..."

"That's true... Your Majesty's eyes are like torches..."Sang Ge nodded and smiled and patted Timur's ass. However, soon, he put away his smile and carefully took out two common small flat coins from his underwear pocket, which were placed in the same place as Huai'an money. "Your Majesty, two adults, please see, how is this money better than Huai money?"

It's really a matter of comparing things and throwing them away... Xiaoping money is the mold set by Mengyuan when the founding of the country, originally imitated the Kaiyuan Tongbao, each weighing one coin, ten pieces for one tael, copper six lead four. However, when the dividends obtained from the early plunder were spent, Mengyuan's treasury became increasingly empty, so the small flat coins became thinner and thinner, and the more they were cast, the worse the fineness. Nowadays, the content of lead in the common small flat coins on the market has exceeded 50% and a half, and some are even as high as 70%. Therefore, under the same light, Huai'an's Huaxia Tongbao is yellow and red, dazzling. Xiao Pingqian looked black, as shabby as a donkey tied to a sweaty BMW horse.

"What the hell do you mean? … Isn't it just to see my jokes? Rao had a good impression of Sango Loss, and Tuhuan Timur couldn't stand this kind of public slap in the face, raised his eyebrows, and questioned sharply.

"Weichen doesn't dare..."Sang Ge kowtowed heavily, and said: "Your Majesty treats me as a national soldier, and I will repay me as a national soldier." His Majesty asked why Yabadulu's silver couldn't buy food, and Weichen thought that either the local government gave him hollow silver, or the question appeared on the current coins. ”

After a pause, no matter how dark the faces of the people around him were, he continued to add stubbornly: "Your Majesty, imagine that Prime Minister Ya Badulu sent someone to buy rice, iron, cattle and sheep goods, and he must pay the bill." One side has hollow silver and small black money, and the other side has full silver dollars and large copper coins, who will those ordinary people sell their grain and goods to? Moreover, the Huai thief has always been cunning, if he deliberately threw a large amount of their copper and silver coins on the ground near Jingzhou to raise the price. So how can a vendor not be fooled? And the Prime Minister of Badulu has never been very disciplined, and everywhere he passes, everyone is rushing to flee for his life. In the long run, there is no need to spend a single soldier, and the thief can beat him so much that he can't even afford to eat with the money on the desk... even directly caused his army to be in turmoil and collapse without a fight..."
