In the first year of Datang Dazhong, Changle Station. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoLi Deyu is standing here again, but his mood is very different. A year ago, I was demoted, degraded again and again, and was almost pointed to Yazhou, and the starting point at that time was Changleyi.

Now that he is coming back, Li Deyu dared to sigh for a while, although he secretly sent someone to tell him today that he should be patient and wait. But the days that have been degraded again and again are still uncomfortable, he is not young.

Even when he was young, he was never degraded so far. He was very worried, and when he arrived in Chaozhou, it would soon be Yazhou. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Chaozhou from the waterway, there was an edict coming, and he didn't even need to enter Chaozhou. Go directly to Yazhou to join the army.

Sihu joined the army, this official position is low, because he entered the office because of his cuteness, and he has never served as a petty official. He was a newcomer, although he was just a school scrivener. It's just a job from the ninth grade, but it's a noble official.

Qinggui, Qing means that it is a leisurely, no burden, and a good income to work. You can browse through the Ouchi Collection. The most important thing about this position is that it is very close to the Taiwan Pavilion, and it is clear what is going on in the court.

This alone envies the dead, whenever there is any movement in the court, you can directly play the chapter, be favored by the emperor, or get the blue eyes of the prime minister, it is an opportunity to soar. Sihu joins the army? This is not only a petty official, but also a turbid official, if he had been in office and did such a position, he would not even take office.

Finally, when he was halfway there, another messenger brought a holy decree. He was reinstated. Enter Beijing immediately. Lingnan news lagged behind, receiving this will, Li Deyu was overjoyed, but also puzzled, now that the situation in Beijing is like this, is the emperor in power? What happened to Zhen?

The messenger was a herald, and he didn't know what the news was. However, it was vaguely revealed that before this decree was issued, there was a fire in the palace, and there seemed to be a mutiny.

Li Deyu was shocked when he heard this news, mutiny? Could it be that Ma Wei finally made a difficulty? At that moment, he didn't care about following all the way to Lingnan's family, so he took his concubine Li Duowen and went straight to Beijing.

Finally, the closer to Jingshi, the clearer the news, that night, there was indeed a fire in the palace, and the Ayaqi Palace, which was close to the Zichen Palace, was burned to the ground. The emperor is pro-government, and the horse is rebellious... I don't know. Anyway, no one has seen him since that night, and even his house has been raided. I don't think it's going to end well.

Although there is more than one party to escape, **** Yizi, **** Wu, whereabouts unknown. But in general, the emperor greeted it. There was no major vibration in the DPRK and China, which is gratifying.

Thinking of this, Li Deyu was a little apprehensive in his heart, this emperor is really forbearant enough, and he doesn't know if he can get along or not. This forbearance is first-class, since he was a child, he has pretended to be stupid to such a big age, and he is still pretending to be an emperor. Until today, it has been done in one fell swoop.

Not only is he not a stupid emperor, Li Deyu is a little stunned by this thought, although he knows that the emperor values him very much. But the companion is like a tiger.

'Master, I'll go out for a walk. Li Duowen said hello to Lao Tzu, and was about to go around, compared to his Lao Tzu's anxiety, he was in a happy mood. Thinking that his father was demoted all the way, first Luoyang, he didn't care much, and Luoyang was no worse than Chang'an.

As a result, who would have thought that just after the Chinese New Year, my father would be relegated to Chaozhou. Lingnan Dao is almost the southernmost place in Datang. When he remembered that time, he wanted to die, and he didn't want to remember it again for the rest of his life.

The weather there, this Rea, is really uncomfortable. His feet itched every day, and when he took off his boots every day, it was a foul, disgusting smell. So he didn't even dare to wear the boots he loved to wear before, and he wore shoes every day.

The clothes were also changed, and Chang'an brought silk and satin, all of which were changed into linen shirts, otherwise in this weather, he would have prickly heat on his body. That situation, how embarrassed it is, how embarrassed it is. He had no doubt that he would die of rotting and suffocating in Lingnan like this.

It's only halfway there, and he's uncomfortable like this. As a result, as soon as he arrived in Chaozhou, he felt that the sky was falling. A will, my father was demoted to Yazhou. Suddenly, the whole family had a feeling that the day was precarious, and the disaster of the nest was coming.

He originally thought that he would be old in Lingnan and even Yazhou in this life, no, he would have the luxury of expecting to die first.

However, who would have thought that the peak would turn around, and my father was on the way to Yazhou, and he hadn't left yet, and another decree came, and my father was reinstated and went back to be his subordinate squire, with Ping Zhangshi. All of a sudden, he felt like he had gone from hell to heaven.

Now, I am back in Changle Station, breathing the air here, and I feel so kind and familiar. The illness that came out of Lingnan was cured on the way back to Chang'an. He made up his mind that in the future, even if he died, he would die in Chang'an, and if his father was demoted to Lingnan, he would hang himself in Chang'an.

However, then again, when my father left, he seemed to have said that he would come back soon. At that time, I thought that my father was comforting me, but now that I think about it, although this period of time is very hard, it is only a year, and after deducting the time on the road, it will be about half a year, which is really fast. Does the father know anything?

"Calculate the time, Li Xiang should also arrive. ''Yes, sage, Li Xiang stayed in Changle Station yesterday. ''Well, send someone to spread the word at night, Li Xiang has been in the dust all the way, and he is also tired. I'll have two days off, and I'll talk to him again. ’

'Welcome to the saints. ''Flat. The mint supervisor will accompany me, and the others will go their separate ways. Li Chen waved his hand and asked the idlers and others to be busy, leaving only the target he was scheduled to see today, and the minting supervisor was the supervisor. However, the Shaofu Prison also stayed, he didn't dare to really do this, put Li Chen in the Money Prison, in case something happened, he was not there, then nine lives were not enough to die. Li Chen didn't care, and under the guidance of the supervisor, he went to visit the coinage prison.

(As I expected.) Li Chen looked at it and thought to himself. The coinage technology of the Tang Dynasty was actually very advanced. It has been possible to use the sand turning method to make coins.

The so-called sand casting mold is to make a model by printing the mother coin in the sand pile, and then pouring the melted molten metal into it, and then forming it after cooling.

This technology, which would be said to be advanced, is because the Chinese were still using it until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, until it was completely replaced by Western minting machines.

But Li Chen shook his head at this technology. Although it is very advanced at the moment, it can be a little more advanced. He can do it.

'Why don't you use an iron mold?' Li Chen pointed to the busy workers and said, "Isn't it very troublesome to turn the sand every time you have to turn over the sand?" Although it is said that there is no cost to turn the sand, it is not very troublesome to do it every time, dismantle, rework, destroy and dismantle, and redo according to the mold? ’

'This.... The mint supervisor wanted to say, I don't know why I didn't use it, but he couldn't say it, so he had to continue with it.

And that's a waste of manpower. If I want to mint coins with hydraulic machinery, can I do it here? For Li Chende's suggestion, the minting supervisor didn't know how to answer.

No wonder he didn't know. Li Chen's plan is to replace the sand mold with an iron mold. Then it is stamped with water power and formed in one go. This is no longer a Chinese technique, it is completely a Western casting technology.

The Chinese made models, which used to be clay molds, and then progressed to sand molds, and then melted the metal and poured it into the mold. The ancient way of minting coins in the West was to knock it out. The model is cast first, and then the metal is hammered into it. Or, conversely, knock a metal mold onto a round cake of a certain size.

In the early days, it was difficult to say who was good and who was bad. But the Chinese, for more than a thousand years, have used the same technology, while the Westerners, as early as the Middle Ages, began to use machinery. The Venetian uses a spiral minting machine, which is more efficient than tapping slowly. How much higher? Li Chen didn't know, but he hadn't heard of Westerners having money shortages like the East, and the efficiency should be much higher.

Li Chen just wanted to increase the amount of coinage in Datang, which was too little, and it seemed that only hundreds of thousands of coins were minted every year. Not at all sufficient.

In addition to increasing the number of coins in circulation, promoting commercial activation, and increasing tax revenue, Li Chen also planned to use coinage to temporarily solve the dilemma of insufficient use by the imperial court.

Li Chen planned to cast iron money and replace copper money with iron money, which was used as a penny. Then all the copper coins were minted as five coins. This should solve the problem of insufficient tax revenue and lack of money at the same time.

It's just that there is no such simple thing in the world. The Chinese have not planned to replace copper with iron, as many dynasties or governments have done. But it all failed.

Because, the court can use iron to make money, and the people can also do it privately. Although the traces and words on the coins made by casting molds may be blurred, the people will not care so much and accept them. The result of using iron money is to promote the rise of prices, and a large amount of bad money floods the market.

Li Chen knows all this. The key to why he dared to do this was that he had to make the iron money more exquisite and difficult for outsiders to imitate. Li Chen planned to use Western-style coinage to make it impossible for those who minted counterfeit coins to imitate. In this way, the money of the imperial court will be very different from those bad coins in appearance.

Because of great expectations, Li Chen was also disappointed after seeing such a technology. I don't know if he is convinced, or if Li Chen's disappointment is too obvious, the supervisor of the money casting refutes Li Chen's statement that he doesn't know how to use water conservancy machinery.

'Who said, 'I am the master of coinage, and I have not minted coins with hydraulic machinery?' ', the money casting supervisor, the disbelief is written on the face, so that the young government supervisor on the side is anxious, no wonder you are so bad, just be a money casting supervisor, this is a man... Dare to show his face to the emperor, no wonder this official can't be promoted. However, Li Chen didn't care about his face at all, and just said in surprise, 'Useful? (To be continued.) )
