I raised my head: "What's wrong Xiaozhi, my face is not happy, don't you think these coins are not yours, and my heart is itching again?" Li Zhi originally had a straight face, but when he heard my words, he was stunned on the spot, and then he pointed at me with a smile and said, "Brother Jun, aren't you making fun of your little brother?" Just a few gold cakes, I don't see it, it's just that the younger brother looks at these Xu barbarians, these currencies made, you see, round or not, not square, at a glance, you know that it is some inferior goods, and the casting process is not as good as our Datang copper coins. Look at the shadow of the person above, like a ghost, and there are some messy patterns on it, hum, ugly! ”

As soon as Li Zhi said this, I understood, jealousy, Li Zhi's eyes were full of jealousy, it was definitely not jealousy of the coinage technology of Western barbarians, let alone jealousy of the gold and silver coins in my hand, I thought it should be jealousy of those Western barbarians who were embarrassed to print their hairy faces on coins, which was really hateful and annoying.

Knowing his thoughts, I took Li Zhi as a reference, and I was more confident in explaining Uncle Li, at this time, Li Shen was studying the artwork I designed on the side, which was far more beautiful than the gold coins of those Western barbarians. On the edge of the coin, there are Chinese characters arranged in an arc: the thirty-second year of the Tang Dynasty, the twenty-third year of Zhenguan.

And below, there is a row of slightly larger Chinese characters: Long live the Tang Empire, long live, as for the center, it is naturally Uncle Li's evil smiling face. On the back, it is a national emblem similar to the previous portrait of Uncle Li, and then on the edge are the petals of the peony flower that the Tang people love, and under the national emblem, there is also a note: The interests of the Tang Empire are above all else.

Pretty, absolutely pretty, and at least at the edge of the currency I explained to them in detail what the various things above meant, their interest was all the more intense. "It's so beautiful, and Brother Jun, your idea is good, the thirty-second year of the Tang Dynasty and the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, which not only marks the years since the founding of my Tang Dynasty, but also marks the years of my father's reign very clearly, which is great." Li Zhi poked his fingers around the top one by one, like that, he wanted to dig a hole in this drawing, take out the drawing and collect it at home.

"Such a beautiful thing, Brother Jun, have you made a sample? Don't hide it, our brothers know that you are a very good person, and good things always like to be thrown out at the end. Li Zhi squeezed his eyes at me with a silver smile, and Li Shen on the side also had a greedy look on his face, a very honest child.

------------------------------------------------ my two big hands were spread out: "Didn't you see my unhappy face when you entered the door?" Just thinking about whether to do it or not, in the end, is it better to talk to your father first, and then make it? I still made a sample first, and then presented it to your father, and when I was worried about this, you two boys rushed in. ”

Do! This is the reply given to me by the two princes, and Li Shen and Li Zhi are both resolute. "Don't hesitate, Brother Jun, this thing will definitely make my father happy, besides, you just said that such a gold coin or silver coin can be used as a lot of money, and it is naturally quite suitable to use this thing for trading, especially for large transactions and transactions."

"But this matter, I have a bit of a headache for the teacher, is your father willing to engrave the portrait on this coin?" I scratched my head, this is what I'm most worried about, what if Uncle Li feels that his face is touched by others, and he will feel uncomfortable all over? Moreover, what if other officials attack me with this kind of thing that is not a matter in the first place, saying that I am insulting the heavens and damaging the heavens' prestige or something?

Li Zhi saw that I, a master who never looked forward and backward in ordinary times, was now hesitant like a little daughter-in-law, and naturally he could guess what I was thinking, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing: "Brother Jun, don't you think my father is such a layman?" ”

"Whether your father is or not, I can't say this, but this doesn't mean that no one dares to talk about this matter, you should also know that although being a teacher is far away from the government, but people who are not used to being a teacher can go from Weinan to Liaodong Road." I wrung my sour brow and smiled bitterly. What am I doing? Reform, what is reform, is to represent a stage, to suppress and seize the interests of a part of the group, can it not arouse jealousy?

God knows how many people are waiting in the dark to grasp my shortcomings, and then jump out to make trouble, just like some time ago, several princes came to Weinan together, and said that they would not return to Chang'an, Chu Suiliang, who had suffered a thousand knives, actually came to impeach this prince for instigating the prince to contact with the people is to belittle the identity of the royal son.

Fortunately, Uncle Li not only regarded Chu Suiliang's words as a fart, but also asked him to be responsible for sorting out the ink treasures of the famous calligraphers of the previous dynasty collected by the royal family.

"It doesn't matter! Master, this matter is pushed to Xiaozhi, hmph, even if my father is unwilling, in the future, Xiaozhi will definitely mint these coins, so that those Western barbarians can take a good look, our Datang's coin-making technology ......" Li Zhi jumped out, patted his chest and volunteered to do this, this is a nice thing to say, but in fact, on Uncle Li's desk, with Uncle Li's IQ, can I not know that this thing is a ghost at my instigation.

However, since the crown prince actually jumped out to be a picker, this is naturally a hundred times better than letting this young man, a young man who travels through, to make people scold, after all, no one has dared to be idle enough to find trouble with Li Zhi, the crown prince, and attract the jealousy of His Majesty the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. When the time comes, they will be the ones who will suffer. In addition, I am afraid that the most important thing is that Li Zhi, a young man, likes to show his little white face very much, this is normal, if Uncle Li can agree, then Li Zhi will naturally have something to say in the future, according to the ancestral system, it doesn't matter if you print your own face and buttocks, at least it is much more handsome than the hairy monkey face of those Western barbarians.

Anyway, the value of a gold or silver coin is not something I can determine, it depends on the needs of the market to order, and now we are just experimenting, laying the foundation for the future, making it, there are also good outside, in case Uncle Li or the court doesn't like it, no, that's better, let's make a thousand, and use it as a treasure collection in the future, and wait for the future generations, maybe it's a new archaeological discovery of the century.

------------------------------------------------Since it has been decided, let's do it first, but the gold has to be cushioned first, well, I gave out two catties of gold, and the two princes, as participants, also let me squeeze out a catty of gold and five catties of silver each. Almost, that's a lot of gold and silver coins.

Ten days later, the pattern coin came out, worthy of the Tang Martial Arts Research Institute, the sample made is called exquisite, Uncle Li's portrait is vivid and tight, in contrast, the gold coin of the Western barbarian placed on the side is really unsightly, and I want to spit in order to express the spitting in my heart.

This thing was naturally carefully placed into the small box covered with red silk that Li Zhi was holding, and the gold and silver coins were neatly stacked, although there was no square money hole for threading in the middle, but because of this, it was even more chic. After hooking everyone so much that I couldn't wait to put it in my pocket and not take it out, Zhong Hua on the side reluctantly said goodbye under my eyes, Li Zhi took the lead and reached out to touch the shiny gold and silver coins.

After touching it several times, Li Zhi swallowed his saliva and raised his face, his face full of greed: "This box really can't fit it, Brother Jun, look, or these are the rest, let's ...... Take it and play with it first, and it's not too late to make a plan when the time comes, you say yes, hehehe...... "Since Li Zhi is so thoughtful, Ben Gongzi and Li Shen on the side are naturally not left behind, and the three investors who invested in refining coins are all cheeky, and one of them took five gold and silver coins and put them in his pocket.

After entering the palace, I inquired when I arrived at Qifeng Pavilion, and then I learned that Uncle Li was watching the autumn scenery there with the old guy Yu Chi Jingde on the edge of the Taiye Pool, well, since it is Uncle Wei Chi, then I am not afraid, anyway, it is just those talkative Wenchen, or the shameless veteran ruffians who are chattering crookedly on the side.

From afar, I saw an attic in front of me that relied on six concrete pillars suspended in the liquid pool, the attic was hexagonal, and six giant concrete stone pillars were used as supports, and the rest of the place, there were only low bottom edges inlaid with wooden strips, and the entire wall was inlaid with large pieces of glass, and the whole attic looked transparent on all sides.

It was happily named by Uncle Li: Liulitai. The name is very creative, here, has become Uncle Li's favorite place to sit in his spare time, looking at all sides, all the scenery, but not lukewarm, Uncle Li has a wind disease, can't stand the wind, here to sit for a long time, it is okay.
