The beginning of the three generations of currency as a theory, the ancient ancestors from the simple barter gradually transitioned to natural shells as currency, to the middle of the Zong Zhou Dynasty appeared copper coins, King Ping moved eastward into the Spring and Autumn Period, and gradually appeared empty cloth, knife cloth, ant nose money and other emerging copper coins, and then to the Warring States period appeared in the Yuan money, gradually transitioned to the modern three baht money, eight baht money, half two money.

In a nutshell, it is pointed out that since ancient times, the money law has been chaotic, and the currency is different and the system is different, which in turn affects the trade circulation and cultural exchanges of various countries, and in a sense, enhances regional differences and exclusivity, which is not conducive to the execution of the upward and downward effects of the huge empire, so the first emperor's decree is the correct trend of abolishing different money with the same track as the literary car, and it is indispensable for the great unified empire to have a currency with official credit, and the Han must reiterate the norms of the Qin system, and formulate a new money law to recast new money.

raised his hand to write tens of thousands of words of advice, and there was no meaning of repeatedly revising the words and sentences, as if he had already recited a thousand times of the manuscript directly copied out in his hand, and even Zhang Tang, who was grinding ink, was stunned.

Zhang Tang can be sure that there was no exchange of related topics before they discussed the money law, but the subordinate officials threw out contradictions at the daily routine meeting, and Cao Shi immediately made the decision to solve the contradiction of the money law as much as possible.

He didn't know how much Cao Shi could see. Judging from the advice he focused on the pen on the paper, he should have already had a number in his heart, and he had heard of the ancients who spoke in chapters and words. I have never heard of someone writing down 10,000 words when he puts pen to paper, and the introduction is not only refreshing but also thought-provoking, even if people who do not understand the money law system, as long as they read this article, they will suddenly realize that the original monetary system has such an importance.

Time flies and the sun sets, when Cao Shi comes back from his focused writing, it is late, and he drops the pen and moves his sore wrist. Cao Chang let out a sigh before he appeared, and hundreds of people kneeling around him looked at him.

"Huh? Didn't you leave at this hour? ”

"An hour ago, they were already standing here." Zhang Tang took a pot of hot water and poured hot tea for him: "Shaofu rotated his wrist for two hours and kept writing tens of thousands of words. The content was so sophisticated and engaging, and those of us were stunned. ”

Take a closer look at the dozens of pages stacked in front of you, in which the contents are all-encompassing, analyzing the currency available in the world, the so-called hardware benefits. Gold, platinum and red gold minerals are interconnected, where there are gold mines, there will inevitably be silver mines, and there will also be copper mines, and the pure gold produced by the three is the most stable.

The second half is the monetary management system, which mainly revolves around the significance of currency control, for the empire a good monetary system to ensure stable taxation, for the common people with the imperial credibility guarantee of the currency has a strong credit. It can avoid the use of hundreds of inferior currencies of different quality, improve the efficiency of trade circulation, reduce civil disputes, and avoid the space for profiteers to profit from it. The unified currency actually plays a role in facilitating and benefiting the people.

Cao Shi shook his head and smiled: "Some things are too messy and not suitable, I'll take them back and delete them a few times and then give them to the prince for review." ”

"No!"

"Never!"

Hundreds of people jumped up and shook their heads, all of them turned red like a madman in a hurry, and they looked like they were about to grab the manuscript if they didn't agree with each other, and there were indeed a few people who had such an impulse.

"This ...... What's wrong with all of you? Cao Shi was dumbfounded.

Several elderly subordinate officials pulled their beards and were anxious: "Shaofu must not!" The subtle meaning of "The Theory of Money" is unprecedented, and the subtlety of the content is exaggerated by the foolish opinion of the old minister. If you change too much, it won't be a big loss! ”

"Shaofu. The tens of thousands of words of "Theory of Money" are wonderful, and they must not be deleted! ”

"It's not as good as this, Shaofu really wants to delete and change it, but it can also be flexible, please copy this and change it, okay?"

Cao Shi's mind was blank, and it took a long time to remember that the exposition of tens of thousands of words in this era was a work, and the Confucian "Zhou Li" was more than 45,800 words, "Ram Spring and Autumn" was more than 44,000 words, and "Three Hundred Poems" was more than 39,200 words.

Since the three generations of antiquity, knowledge has been monopolized in the hands of military aristocrats for a long time, military aristocrats take meritorious service as the highest pursuit, Wu Qizi is the most admired figure of military aristocracy, outstanding military achievements, brilliant political achievements, writing books and saying that the law is strong and strong, the best military family Wu Qizi can be ranked in the forefront of ancient and modern military scholars, and military aristocrats still attach importance to writing books and sayings, not to mention those officials and ordinary people who have no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy in their lives.

Meritorious service needs to go to the battlefield to fight, for people who lack military literacy, it is more practical to make a speech than meritorious service, each famous book will attract many people to study, there are thousands of disciples in the hundreds of schools, because knowledge is the stepping stone to open the common people to the nobility, even in the era of military merit in the Qin and Han dynasties, there is still a need for Shang Ying, Fan Sui, Li Si, Xiao He, Zhang Cang such pure officials to manage the country, this is the shortcut to the end of the promotion.

Cao Shi smiled: "Okay, okay, I won't delete it." ”

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and for themselves to rescue a masterpiece of the ages of the complacent, Zhang Tang thought about going home at night to write down this incident, maybe in the future, with the "Theory of Money" famous all over the world, he Zhang Tang can also be a little light, what he doesn't know is that there are many people in the crowd who also have similar calculations.

At the court meeting the next day, Cao Shixian was stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, as if his every move was being monitored, and after a while, his cold sweat broke out.

Tingwei Gao Wanhou Bingwu smiled and arched his hand: "You ask what's going on?" It's not a good thing you did on your own. If it weren't for the curfew in Chang'an City, I am afraid that it would have spread all over Guanzhong overnight. ”

"I guess the news is almost out at this point. It's still Shaofu's talent is high, so let me also lean over and get some talent. ”

Danong Ling Lecheng Hou Ding Wuke pulled the seat closer to him, and the frightened Cao Shi hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, which of these old liehous in their forties didn't have a bunch of strange hobbies, and it would be bad if they were unlucky to meet someone who had a good Longyang.

"Da Nong Ling pays attention to etiquette, and it is a good thing for Shaofu to write books! The old man just didn't understand, why didn't he tell us to take a look or two? Wei Juan's face is not good-looking, as long as he is not a fool, he will want to be present to see the birth of a masterpiece. In the future, it will be glorious for future generations to witness the birth of the world's fastest masterpiece.

The ministers with their ears nodded in unison, and said that it was not a trivial matter. In ancient times, it was necessary to bathe and change clothes and fast for three days, and then pick up the beginning of the pen, stroke by stroke, and repeatedly revise the manuscript to finally complete the book, and the famous works also need to be completed in a year and a half at the earliest, and the slower twenty or thirty years or even fifty or sixty years are uncertain. This shows how difficult it is to write a book.

Cao Shi is such a strange thing, neither bathing and fasting, nor widely publicized, and it is easily completed in one afternoon and two hours without a word, if it were not for the hundreds of witnesses inside and outside Shaofu, I am afraid that he would be regarded by the world as a madman and saying crazy things.

If the quality of the work itself is not good, it will never attract widespread attention, and at most it will be ridiculed as a deliberate self-hype, and it can be seen from the few words that have been copied and circulated that the shortest book ever written, "The Theory of Money", is a subtle and inconspicuous discussion of the currency that everyone needs to use.

The book deals with wealth for the second time. The tax system, as well as the role of the monetary system itself, gives a very precise definition of money. He also predictably pointed out that with the continuous development of society, the role of the monetary system will become more and more prominent, and the growing huge currency reserves will promote the prosperity of the empire, and the establishment of a good system and control system will help the Son of Heaven to better manage the country.

"Whispers! Taking the most inconspicuous copper coins as the starting point, expounding the benefits of the changes in the money law to the Han family system, this is the real subtle meaning! ”

Nao Budo holds a stack of scribbled papers. Shaking his head, he recited: "A full treasury represents the habitual accumulation and stagnation of money, which is a manifestation of the lack of a good environment for the operation of assets. The richer the Guizhou people, the easier it is to collect taxes, and the stronger the enthusiasm for paying taxes and the stronger their tolerance for tax increases, the poorer the Guizhou people, the more difficult it is to collect taxes, and the low enthusiasm for tax increases is like killing parents! Therefore, it is the responsibility of the high-ranking officials of 2,000 Shi to lead the currency bank to mediate the structure of the people and ensure that the lives of the people from the military to the military and the common people are getting richer and richer. ”

"It's still more simple and easy to understand in the vernacular, and I'm tired and panicked when I see it."

"Not so! The ancient text has beauty, and the vernacular is too vulgar. ”

"You dare to say that this article is not aesthetically pleasing? The delicate chapter and sentence arrangement is very comfortable to read, I don't really like the meaning of two or three words together, and it is difficult to guess without symbol separation, which is particularly unpleasant! ”

"You don't like ancient texts either, I thought I didn't like ancient texts alone, it turns out that there are like-minded people, there are a few more symbols in Shaofu's articles, and there is paragraph separation to help reading, which is much more interesting than those redundant and incomprehensible ancient texts."

There is no serious old scholar in the Shangqing here, most of them are marquis from military merit, and slightly worse ones such as Lang Zhonglinghe, Lieutenant Ning Cheng, and Yu Shi Dafu also have many years of experience as a high-ranking official with 2,000 stones, and Prime Minister Wei Juan is also a newly sealed liehou a few years ago, no one cares whether they worship the ancient or not, as long as it is easy to read and understand.

A group of people criticized the inconvenience of ancient texts, in today's bright paper and large-scale application, there is no limit on the length and storage of bamboo slips and wooden slips, many people gradually increase the size of the content of the text when the letters come and go, from the original letters of only a few hundred words, to thousands of words or even tens of thousands of words of family letters, the consumption is nothing more than a few pieces of paper and some ink.

Most of the princes were sloppy, and they scolded the ancient sages for cherishing their pen and ink habits without concealment, and the old-fashioned bureaucrats were not happy.

Huang was angry: "Fart!" The ancient sages took pity on the hard work of cutting wood and picking bamboo, and were reluctant to waste every piece of slips, without the use of simple classical Chinese records, how many catties of slips did it take to record a thing, and it became a sin to save the slips with the ancient sages. ”

Several gray-headed old men in the court were full of firepower, and the princes who said cool words just now were all dumbfounded, and Prime Minister Wei Wanxin said that he finally seized an opportunity to give the princes a little color to see, and he didn't let go when he caught Cao: "The old man thinks that the vernacular of Shaofu is easy to understand, but the ancient Chinese cannot be given up at will, I want to know how Shaofu views the ancient Chinese?" ”

This old man wants to dig a pit and bury me!

Several old men stared at him with wide eyes, as if he was about to sprinkle if he said something wrong, Cao Shi smiled bitterly and diluted the mud: "I think that ancient texts can be used to chant poems, as for the official documents of the imperial court, the interpretation of the law is still based on the vernacular that is easy to understand, after all, the official documents are exchanged with ordinary officials, and the operation of the law is applicable to the people of the world, and it is essential to educate the people so that they dare not cross the legal prohibition, and it is essential to clarify the vernacular without ambiguity in detail." ”

Wei Juan shook off a boy's very familiar eyes, and caught a glimpse of the dumb expressions of the princes pinching his beard very proudly, he, the prime minister, has always been uncomfortable, and he has been restrained by the princes who control the secretary at every turn, and he can't do big things, but small things have to make me angry.

Wei Wei Bai to Hou Xuchang smiled: "The prime minister is right, it is common practice in ancient times to be stingy with pen and ink, and now there is no need to be stingy with pen and ink when papermaking is vigorously promoted. Shaofu didn't pay attention to this? ”

"I also think so, the vernacular is a waste of pen and ink is true, but it is better to understand the reason, the people of Guizhou only need to know 3,000 commonly used words to understand the general idea, and the educated people can read through the whole text of 8,000 words as a policy There is no problem, this is the right way to educate people of all ages, as for the waste of pen, ink and paper is not a problem, there are many bamboo, wood and rattan in the mountains and forests, and sooner or later it will be popularized if the production is increased." Cao Shi quietly counted his thumbs, Uncle Xu was powerful!

Wei Juan was unhappy again, his friend didn't doubt that he pulled his sleeve Nunu's mouth, and now Huang Sheng, who was still very angry just now, and the old masters all smiled, and several old men all laughed when they heard the edification of leading people to goodness, as for whether the foolish people are foolish or not, they don't care for the time being, at least the words are very good.

Secretly scolding the old slippery head, Wei Wan snorted angrily and had no choice but to give up. (To be continued)
