May 17.

There is no need to go to the court today, and there is nothing to do, and some irrelevant notes have been dealt with, Yang Reform is ready to go to Guozijian, to see those immigration officials who are ready to go to various places, to see those Jinshi, who have been born in the past, to cheer them up, to encourage, yesterday I was going to go, but it was too late to go, and today, no matter what, I have to go, and if I don't go to see it, they will follow the immigrants out of Beijing.

"Companion, but what's the matter?" Yang Reform finished handling official business and was about to go to Guozijian when he saw Wang Chengen coming in from outside and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, that Western missionary John Tang, Tang Keqing is here, and he wants to see His Majesty, saying that there is something important to offer to Your Majesty." Wang Chengen said.

"John Tang? Tang Keqing? "Yang Reform is in a good mood today, and yesterday he got the news that he was going to be promoted to be a father, and he has been very excited, and he has been very excited about this today's handling of the sparseness, which is also extraordinarily generous. Now some people asked to see him, and they also felt that this soup John was very kind, and his favor rose by 10, and he immediately said, "See! How not to see. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty,...... Your Majesty, there is one more thing, Xiao Shunzi and Ma Zhidejin, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau of the Household Department, presented some samples of newly minted silver coins to Your Majesty. Wang Chengen said again.

"Oh? Kind of money? Has the Baoquan Bureau started work now? Soon! Not bad. Hearing this news, Yang Gai felt very happy, and the minting of silver coins finally started.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, now, the Baoquan Bureau is rushing to make silver coins, which are made for Master Xu's disaster relief, minting new money, according to the rules, it is to send some sample money to the palace and the yamen of the provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, as a sample of money, distinguish the real from the fake, and send it to the palace, there are 2,000 silver coins, and copper coins are not counted." Wang Chengen explained.

"Hehe, yes, show it to me." This coinage plan has finally started, Xu Guangqi needs to use a huge amount of silver, if it is all changed to silver coins, how much money will it have to save? Just the settling-in fee for the resettlement of immigrants, which used to be 20 yuan banknotes, was worth 20 taels of silver, if it was changed to 20 silver coins, how much money would it have to be saved? Now the imperial court does not issue treasure money, it is impossible to use treasure money to immigrate as before, and now you have to rely on real silver to immigrate, theoretically twenty banknotes are equivalent to twenty taels of silver, but how much can actually be exchanged, only God knows, now there are twenty real silver coins, which are actually more valuable than the twenty treasure money, Yang Reform estimates that immigrants will be happy to immigrate with twenty silver coins.

Wang Chengen brought a plate of silver coins with a plate. Uncovered the cloth, there was a silver light inside, Yang Reform grabbed a handful, and felt very real, with silver, his heart was steady, and without silver, his heart was not steady. He picked up another silver coin, clasped the center of the coin with the tip of his fingernail, put it in front of his mouth, blew hard, and then quickly put it next to his ear.

"Buzzing ......" A crisp sound came out of the silver coin, and like Yuan Datou Guangyang before, Yang Reform's heart was put down, and this silver coin did not cut corners.

Wang Chengen looked stupid, can this silver coin blow sound? It's still so crisp, Wang Chengen is not very far from the emperor, and the quiet in this warm pavilion still hears a crisp sound unique to metal.

Yang Gengai looked at Wang Chengen with a stupid look and said with a smile: "Hehe, big companion, you can also try it, this is a really good silver coin!" Hehe, ordinary people can't make it, and ordinary man-made silver coins can't blow it. Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen with a smile.

Wang Chengen picked up a piece of silver coin stupidly, just like the emperor, clamped it with his fingernails, and then blew lightly, but he didn't expect that this silver coin could also make a "buzzing" sound, which was very crisp and even more demented.

"Your Majesty, why is that? Why does this coin blow loudly? Wang Chengen was very curious, when he was a curious baby, his eyes were full of admiration, the value of the court in the past was all holes in the middle, and it was impossible to pick it up and blow it.

"Hehe, big companion, this, don't say, don't say! ...... "Yang Reform really can't say, he can only pretend to be mysterious, can he say that he has blown Guangyang in later generations?"

Seeing that the emperor refused to say, Wang Chengen looked even more adoring, with stars in his eyes, this Your Majesty was taught by a god in his dream, and it was really not covered.

"Hehe, big companion, publicize the things that this silver coin can blow, as an anti-counterfeiting means for my new silver coin, hehe, this is very technical, even if ordinary people use sterling silver to make silver coins, they may not be able to blow this crisp sound, hehe......, so, even if someone wants to counterfeit my silver coin, it can't be blown out, and others won't want it......" Yang Reform was very happy, this trick is his killer weapon for minting silver coins, no formula, people who don't know the inside story, You never know how to blow a silver coin that you can blow to, even if you use sterling silver, cut corners, and the proportion of silver is not right, let alone make this kind of silver coin that can blow a crisp sound, and be of the highest quality. Of course, this is only a convenient and cheap detection method suitable for the general public, of course, it doesn't matter if someone knows the inside story, because only with a proportion of themselves, the same formula, the silver coin will blow a crisp sound, if this person uses his own formula to make silver coins, that person's earnings, basically limited, is the same as himself, good deeds, Yang Reform does not mind others to do good deeds.

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen agreed, and began to think about how to "leak" this matter, which proved that His Majesty's silver coins have very superb skills! It's worth a lot of money! Originally, Wang Chengen was also worried that the emperor's silver coin would encounter resistance and be difficult to mint, but now it seems that it will not be.

"Wait......" Yang Gengai remembered that he was about to upgrade to his father, his wife was pregnant, this, I have to send some red envelopes to others, scatter wealth or something, rejoice and rejoice, since there is this new silver coin today, just right, use this new silver coin to send red envelopes.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wang Chengen asked.

"This, Wan'er is pregnant, she should scatter her wealth, send some red envelopes, be happy and happy, let everyone celebrate, you wrap this silver coin into a red envelope every two pieces, and scatter it." Yang Reform is happy today, he is about to become a father, and he is ready to scatter his wealth.

"Hehe, congratulations to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is about to become a father, and it won't be long before a little prince will call Your Majesty's father, and the slave will let people scatter their wealth and make everyone happy." Wang Chengen was also happy and joined in the fun, a child was about to be born in this palace, which was a thing worth celebrating.

Wang Chengen came out of the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and immediately prepared to seal red envelopes, reward, and scatter rewards. However, after coming out, he remembered what the emperor had just commanded, and the emperor asked him to publicize the fact that this silver coin could be blown as a means of distinguishing His Majesty's silver coin, so he came up with an idea.

Everyone heard that the emperor scattered wealth, rewarded silver coins, some little eunuchs all around, ready to receive the reward, the noisy and lively very lively, the palace is strictly forbidden, it is rare to have such a relaxed moment, many people are more and more coaxing, saying flattery, auspicious words, in this palace, all of a sudden, suddenly a lot of lively, Wang Chengen stood on the steps of the palace, scolded loudly: "You little cubs, Your Majesty is in a good mood today, don't worry about you, just have fun, remember, this is Your Majesty's wealth for the dragon in the belly of the mother, Remember Your Majesty's goodness, you know? Also, this is a new money from His Majesty, it is a kind of money, it can be blown, don't treat this money as ordinary money, understand? Remember Your Majesty's good ......" Wang Chengen took the opportunity of the emperor's wealth to spread the money, and also publicized the fact that this silver coin could be blown, and after speaking, he pinched the center of the silver coin with the tip of his fingernails, and then blew a breath and quickly put it to his ear.

The little eunuchs below all stretched their necks, ready to look strange, and this kind of thing? Can money still blow loudly? Could it be hollow?

After Wang Chengen blew it, all of a sudden, the surroundings quieted down, and they all looked at Wang Chengen to see if they could hear anything.

"Buzzing ......" Wang Chengen heard the crisp sound, was very satisfied, and said: "See, this is the power of Your Majesty's newly minted silver coins, you little cubs ......, okay, our family still has something to do, you can divide it yourself......" After Wang Chengen finished speaking, he found a little eunuch and said: "Little Dezi, send a hundred silver coins to the queen, and a hundred to Queen Yi'an, and everywhere else, in descending order, you know?" Wang Chengen still had to serve the emperor, and after popularizing the things that this silver coin could blow to, he was ready to go back.

"The little one obeys." The little eunuch named Xiao Dezi immediately received the order and prepared to do what Wang Chengen said.

The little eunuchs below stretched their necks and waited for the chief manager to blow the silver coin, of course, everyone just seemed to hear it, how could they hear it from such a distance. However, this did not prevent the little eunuch from distinguishing the truth of the matter, and they picked up the silver coins in their hands, learned the appearance of the chief manager of Wang, pinched them with their fingertips, and then took a sharp breath, blew on the silver coins, and then quickly put them to their ears. The little eunuchs have exchanged experiences, constantly experimenting with how to blow silver coins, some clumsy, fingers too thick guys, tried a few times, but also unsuccessful, seeing that others have succeeded, very anxious, hurriedly asked others to blow to him, soon, this blowing silver coin, it has become a peculiar scenery in the palace, from time to time when the little eunuch passes by, take out a silver coin from his pocket, pinch it with his fingertips, blow a mouthful, put it in his ear, and enjoy listening to the unique crisp sound of the silver coin.

Wang Chengen returned to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace again, and the emperor was already receiving Tang Keqing.

"Companion, it's just in time, come and take a look at the telescope." Yang Gengai beckoned Wang Chengen to come over and look at the telescope. After a period of research, Tang Ruowang finally finished the telescope, originally he thought that it would be impossible to build this telescope in a few years, and he knew that the emperor soon gave him a lot of pure glass to make a telescope.

Wang Chengen took the telescope, looked at it, and said: "Sure enough, Your Majesty, this clairvoyant mirror is very magical, you can see things in the distance as if they are in front of you, it is very magical, and it is exactly the same as the treasure house in the palace." Wang Chengen replied, there are also clairvoyant mirrors in this palace, so Wang Chengen is not too surprised. Such telescopes are monocular, retractable and adjustable.

"Hehe, yes, take it, big companion." Yang reformed.

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen replied.

"By the way, John Tong, how much can this kind of telescope produce per month?" The use of telescopes in military affairs was a must, and Yang reformed and prepared for mass production and distribution to all armies.

"Your Majesty, this kind of telescope, as long as there are enough raw materials, enough glass, and enough manpower, you can produce as many as you want, of course, now in the case of the next person, only a few helpers, you can produce a few telescopes every month." With a big beard, John Tang happily explained to the emperor that Catholicism wants to spread in the East, and only by impressing the emperor can there be hope.

"Very good, in this way, you teach the method of making it to the craftsmen of the War Bureau, so that it can be made on a large scale, I need a lot of these telescopes, of course, the benefits are indispensable to you, for every telescope manufactured, I will give you a silver patent money, of course, I know that this telescope was not invented by you, but I still give you this patent money, who said that only you can make it?" Hehe, don't be discouraged, you must know that I am going to make thousands of surnames at a time, and I may add more ...... later" Yang Gai said happily, this telescope is a sharp weapon, marching and fighting, naval battles, and even hot air balloons, are indispensable. It can greatly improve combat efficiency.

Tang Ruowang originally heard that he was going to deprive himself of the right to build a telescope, and felt very frustrated, so he would lose the opportunity to get close to the emperor, but he knew that he knew that he had no right to oppose the emperor, and could only admit bad luck.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward." John Tong followed the example of Chinese officials and thanked the emperor. also regarded himself as a Ming official.

"Well, by the way, I also tried this telescope, I think that although he can see far away, but every time I use the telescope, I can only use one eye to see, which makes me feel very inconvenient, after looking at it for a long time, this eye hurts, John Tong, if you can make the kind of telescope that can be used with two eyes at the same time, then it will be good, John Tong, do you have this ability?" Yang Gengai wants to get on the binoculars, no matter what, one eye is always very unhappy to see things, and you have to close one eye when you see it, after a long time, your eyes can't stand it, and you are not used to it.

"This ...... Try it in the next place, and the minister will definitely work hard, my majesty. Tang Ruowang happily accepted the emperor's suggestion, felt that it was not a difficult matter, and also felt that the problem that the emperor said was indeed a problem, and he was ready to improve.

As he was talking, Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Zhengyi real person Zhang Xianyong asks to see." ”

Zhang Xianyong, this guy is also here? Yang Gai asked, "Is there anything wrong with Zhengyi Zhenren coming?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it seems that it is said to be thanksgiving, offering talismans, didn't Zhengyi Zhenren say yesterday that he would hold a Taoist Dharma meeting in Beijing? I guess it has something to do with it. Wang Chengen explained in a low voice.

"Oh? So, then see you. "Yang reform ready to see.

"Obey, Your Majesty, do you want to avoid this Yiren?" Wang Chengen asked in a low voice.

Yi monk? Yang Reform also finds it interesting, is John Tang a monk in Wang Chengen's eyes? Hehe, it seems that Zhang Xianyong is also from a religious background, and he is a Chinese monk, so he has to get the two of them together to see what kind of sparks the monks from the East and the West will collide.

Yang Reform's low-level interest broke out, and he was ready to let the two "monks" meet to see what kind of sparks could burst out.

"See you." Yang reformed.

Wang Chengen agreed, but seeing that the emperor didn't say anything to avoid, he didn't say anything.

Zhang Xianyong entered the warm pavilion, kowtowed, and saw the salute before getting up.

"Zhang Zhenren, I will introduce you to a person, this is a Western missionary, his name is Tang Ruowang, and he is my guest." Yang Reform introduced.

Zhang Xianyong was about to speak, but the emperor preemptively introduced him to a person, who was actually a Yi person, or a Western missionary, and after a closer look, there was no grade, no sign with official character, only the title of guest secretary, which suddenly made Zhang Xianyong feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, but this was introduced by the emperor, so he could only hold a Taoist bow and say "Amitayus longevity." "It's over.

John Tang drew a cross with his hand, which was considered a return gift, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or how, so he said to Zhang Xianyong with a sincere face: "May God be with you."

Yang Gengai rolled with laughter in his heart, and sure enough, these two guys bumped into something, and you said to a Taoist priest, "God is with you", aren't you disgusting him? He also said: "Hehe, Tang Ruowang, this is the real person of my dynasty, who leads the Taoist affairs of the world, hehe, it is the title of the second grade." Yang Reform introduced the two parties in a very bad taste.

"Xiaguan Tang Ruowang has seen Zhengda, may God be with you." Tang Ruowang listened to the emperor's words, and saluted Zhang Xianyong in a serious manner, but in the words, he used the lower officials and the first person, and added the sentence that God is with you. I don't know if this guy did it on purpose or unintentionally.

This made Zhang Xianyong angry half to death, I don't know where it came from, I don't know what grade it is, and he actually calls himself an official, you know, Zhang Xianyong is very taboo to others call him an official, and he cares more about others calling them real people, to show that they are outsiders, otherwise, this Taoism, you don't cultivate the Tao, put the official word in your mouth all day long, it will inevitably cause some trouble, however, it is obvious that this Yiren missionary calls himself like this, it must be intentional, and what is even more disgusting is that the guy said that God is with him, Who knows if the God in your Yijiao is the God of my Taoism, Zhang Xianyong seems to have eaten a fly in his mouth, and he has hemorrhoids below, and his heart is beating like thunder, but he can't express it, so he has no choice but to give his hand again, return the salute, and say: "Amitayus Fu." ”

Yang Reform deliberately made trouble, just to see the good performances of the "monks" in the East and the West, and when he saw Zhang Xianyong's deflated appearance, he was secretly amused in his heart.
