The car drove slowly, and Zhao Xu, who was sitting in the carriage, kept playing with a gold coin that was commonly used in the Western world plundered from Constantinople, and on the table in front of him, there were many coins of various styles, including the gold and silver coins of Solidus of the Byzantine Empire, the gold and silver coins of the Dinar of the Seljuk Kingdom, and some currencies that he had never even seen and could not name, looking at the types and appearances of these currencies in front of him, Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the copper coins minted by his country were simply beautiful, as perfect as a work of art.

The corners of Zhao Xu's mouth raised, and he threw the Roman gold coin in his hand on the table in front of him with disdain, not even caring that the gold coin rolled to the ground, and said to himself: "What kind of is this." He turned his head and pushed the window of the car and said to his son and several generals around him who understood the people's livelihood: "Come in, I have something to tell you." ”

In just a few minutes, Zhao Xu's six sons (without Zhao Lie, stationed in Constantinople) and several other generals came to Zhao Xu's car. ”

"The workmanship is poor and the texture is coarse, and if it is not a coin of gold or silver, I will not throw it on the ground." Zhao Xu's youngest son, Zhao Yan, the seventh prince, looked at these coins and said disdainfully.

"It's nonsense, these things are not money, what's the use of us getting them." Zhao Xu scolded his youngest son with a smile. Then he said to his fourth son, Zhao Chen: "Shiro, what do you think?" ”

"What do I think, this thing is valuable, I'll rob it, I don't understand people's livelihood issues, I'm a special operations commander, my mind is full of tactical theory, I'm only responsible for killing people, setting fires, stepping on points and plundering, you ask me this? If you don't understand, you ask them, eldest brother and second brother, these two people understand, eldest brother and second brother say quickly. When Zhao Chen heard Zhao Xu suddenly ask himself, he was directly confused, and then said these words to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to continue to turn to his other two sons and those ministers present, and Zhao Mu had to raise his butt under his father's gaze, and said to his father: "Father, these things are generally currency, they are used in various regions of China's newly occupied land, different currencies can not directly carry out multi-faceted trade, which directly hinders the speed of China's domestic trade circulation, our newly occupied Central Asia and the Western Xia, Khitan, Jin, Goryeo and Southeast Asian countries are different, because our country's currency can circulate there, after unification, its original currency has been slowly replaced by our country's existing square hole money, and now these Central Asian places are different, China's existing currency can not be widely circulated here, the local people do not recognize the copper coins in our hands, a lot of trade will be constrained by this, if not the opportunity to make a decision, in the long run, I am afraid that there will be some unnecessary disputes in many areas due to the problem of coins, Therefore, the son thought that his father should follow the example of Qin Shi Huang at this time, and immediately set about unifying the weights and measures, coins, and writing in these places. ”

"My son's words are very good."

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, Zhao Qi in contemplation then bowed his hand to Zhao Xu and said: "Father, what the second brother said just now is already very perfect, and the son has some other problems, these currencies have strange shapes, and there are many impurities in the coins, and they cannot be directly circulated in our country. There are almost no copper coins and other property, which also makes the lack of copper ore in our country, in this regard has not been greatly alleviated, third, said the unified weights and measures, coins and writing, the problem of the second brother has been very perfect, but Erchen thought that the second brother said, there is still a lack of one point, that is, the unity of language and culture, the unity of language and culture can make the people of these newly occupied places more quickly integrate into our Han nation, and more can let them forget the past as soon as possible, to welcome the new life, Since the establishment of the Great Song Empire, every emperor ascended the throne, and even the change of the year name, there will be a large number of coins flowing to the trade market, and the currency of various years is very messy, so Erchen believes that if you want to unify the currency of these newly occupied places, it is better to re-integrate and unify the domestic currency. ”

After Zhao Qi finished speaking, there was silence in the whole car, I don't know if everyone was pondering about the currency, and in the end, it was Zhao Xu, the emperor, who took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere, sat up from the low couch, and said to all the people present: "The questions are summarized correctly, and these problems must also be notified to Bianliang City as soon as possible, so that they can immediately integrate all the problems and introduce new relevant laws, but before that, I still have something to say to you, take the currency system of the Seljuk Kingdom as an example, their dinars, There are gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, all commodities are used with these similar gold, silver and copper coins to clearly mark the price, although China's trade system is also like this, but our use of gold and silver, but not as clear as the other party's system, our main coin system is copper coins, large amounts of trade requires a large number of copper coins to trade, although the Jiaozi used in our country can solve the problem of difficult currency transportation within a certain range, but, in the current state of the country, this is completely a palliative treatment, China's paper currency is a lack of credibility of the problem, our land area is too large, the imperial court can not be in a short period of time to the country's perfect credibility planning, which also makes Jiaozi can only be used in the main cities of the road, second, we do not have so many commercial houses to exchange Jiaozi, I know, the carrying of paper money, is indeed the most convenient, but in the current state of the empire, we have not yet reached that corresponding level, So how do we solve this trade dilemma? Gold! Silver coin! Although the Seljuk kingdom was wiped out by us, their monetary system is still very worthy of our learning, we also issue corresponding gold and silver coins, and the existing copper coins of the empire are exchanged at a rate, for example, copper coins have always been exchanged for a silver coin, a hundred silver coins for a gold coin, a trade worth 10,000 yuan, only a hundred gold coins are needed, what is this concept, who wants to do business, with a large cart of money behind him wandering around the world, not to mention the wealth and thieves, the main thing is trouble, and I thought, Such a currency will be much faster when it is exchanged for the same amount as the currency of the newly occupied land. ”

"Father, if we really need to let the Mint mint mint this kind of gold and silver coins, I strongly recommend that you make it more beautiful, you look at these messy coins in front of you, you don't know, you think this is the currency of ancient times." As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, his youngest son Zhao Yan immediately pointed to the coins on the table in front of him and said. And Zhao Yan's words were immediately approved by Zhao Bo, and they were also very strongly agreed.

Zhao Xu ignored his two sons who were funny, but continued to say to everyone: "The obverse of our gold and silver coins must have the head of His Majesty Taizu Taizong, without His Majesty Taizu Taizong laying this splendid mountain and river for my Great Song Empire, where will we have our happy life now, and the reverse side of the coin should be engraved with the national emblem and indicate the casting time, and the square hole copper coin is marked with the words of the four words of the Great Song Empire on the front, and the time is marked on the reverse side. Don't write any other nonsense. ”

"The ministers obey."

What is Currency? Money is a special commodity that acts as a general equivalent in a fixed manner, reflecting the socio-economic relations between commodity producers. Different countries and regions will define the equivalent form and monetary embodiment of different commodities according to the social scale of local commodities. The current Song Empire has completely occupied all the land of the Seljuks, so the rule of this land is naturally smooth, and if all these original things are not sinicized, I am afraid that the Song Empire's rule here will be like the Yuan Empire back then, just a few decades, and it ended its rule over this land.
