“…… This is Yu Gong. Xie Daoyun suddenly said a little unnaturally: "I also hope that you will be the king, so that it will be easier for me to obtain my father's understanding." ”

Wen Yi said distressedly: "I know what to do." ”

After her analysis, Wen Yi also had a clear understanding of this matter, and now is indeed the best time to become the king.

The couple talked about some more details, and then Wen Yi made a final decision.

Handing over the sleeping little carp to Xie Daoyun, Wen Yi got up and went to the front hall, and summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs on the island one by one.

Although he has already made a decision, it is still necessary to listen to the opinions of others and reach a consensus with the top management in private.

In this way, his path to the throne can proceed smoothly.

The high-level officials who got the accurate news were very excited, and privately began to prepare for Wenyi's title ceremony.

But the superficial work still had to be done, and the next day the ministers wrote again to ask him to be king, but he again refused.

On the morning of the third day, the people played again and asked for the title of king.

In addition, there are two special people who appear in the Guanghua Palace, they are the envoys of Langhu and Jin'an County.

"The 7,000 people of Langhu ask the lord of the country to be the king, this is a table."

"The 30,000 people of Jin'an County ask the lord of the country to be the king, this is a table."

The so-called invitation form is a recital jointly written by the principal officials of the two places, and their appearance is completely reasonable.

At this critical moment, anyone who is qualified will be on the book, and no one will be embarrassed by anyone's performance, Xiao Baishan and they will naturally not be left behind.

This is the third time that the ministers have been invited, and according to the rules, Wen Yi should agree.

He pretended to be helpless and said, "You guys are really ...... Alas, what I say doesn't work, so let it be as you please. ”

The ministers were overjoyed, and stood up together to kneel and salute, saying, "The ministers see the king." ”

Wen Yi doesn't have to worry about the King Ceremony, the people in his own etiquette department don't have to worry about it, he just needs to be a tool man honestly.

Strictly speaking, it is much more troublesome to call the king than to establish a country, and it is enough to give an order to establish a country, and there are not so many rules and the like.

The king is a noble status that has existed since ancient times, and there are fixed rules that have been passed down, such as strict requirements for dresses and dependence.

As far as Wenyi's residence is concerned, it can only be called 'mansion' in the past, and the decoration and the like are a little more luxurious than ordinary people's, and there is no difference between the others, and it is 'palace' after being called king.

The specifications of the royal palace are different from those of ordinary magnates, and the stone lions at the entrance have special specifications, and other decorative carvings must also be changed.

At this time, the captured craftsmen had a place to use, and the group with better skills were requisitioned to renovate the palace.

The craftsmanship of the master is different, the stone lion becomes lifelike, the flowers carved on the pillar become more exquisite, and it looks more artistic.

Of course, these are all side stories.

The real core is the clothing, seals, and so on.

He can wear a four-clawed dragon robe and use a paraphernalia with a four-clawed dragon...... Therefore, Liu Dahe's side immediately opened the furnace and fired a lot of porcelain and glass with dragon patterns and sent them to the palace.

There is also an additional 'royal' mark on the bottom of these porcelain and glass, which means that it is something from the palace.

The best weavers were also requisitioned for the costumes, and the best stonemasons were hired for the seals to carve.

The seal Wenyi has been changed, and it is necessary to mention it here.

In ancient times, the seals of emperors, empresses, emperors, and empresses could only be called 'seals', and the rest of the people, including the crown princes, could only be called 'seals'.

During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian disliked the unlucky homonym of 'seal' and 'death', so he changed it to 'treasure', and Tang Zhongzong changed it back to seal, but Li Longji also felt unlucky after ascending the throne and continued to use 'treasure'.

This rule is still in use.

Since then, the words on the jade seal have changed from the seal of the Son of Heaven to the treasure of the Son of Heaven.

Wenyi is the king, and his seal can't use the word 'seal', so he uses the word 'treasure'.

So his king's seal is written on the king's treasure, and Xie Daoyun's queen's seal is the queen's treasure.

Well, the words on these two prints are written by Xie Daoyun, simplified Chinese.

Although the others thought it was strange, they saw that he was resolute and agreed.

Whether it's a 'treasure' or a 'seal', it just works.

The material used by the king seal was jade, and he obtained a lot of good jade from trading with Baekje. Wen Yi chose a piece of white jade to engrave, and Xie Daoyun chose a piece of green jade for himself.

In addition to these, Wenyi also made the decision to issue a coin belonging to the Tang Kingdom - Tang Tongbao.

These four words are also written by Xie Daoyun, simplified Chinese.

There was another controversy about the copper content of copper coins, not because there was a dispute between the ministers, but because Wen Yi and the ministers had different opinions.

Ancient copper coins contain lead, tin and other metals, and the proportions of several metals are different, and the fineness of coins varies greatly.

The copper content reaches fifty percent, and the copper coin is yellow and clear, and the color is very good-looking and festive. Less than 50% of copper coins are blue-gray and not as beautiful as yellow.

The ministers thought that this was the first batch of money minted after Wen Yi became king, and it had to be made beautifully, at least fifty percent of the copper content, and even sixty percent.

If he didn't understand the strangeness inside, Wen Yi would definitely agree.

But in his previous life, he was engaged in the smelting industry, and he had read some research reports on ancient copper coins, and he knew that they were greasy.

Ancient criminals liked to collect copper coins, cast them into bronze and sell them at a high price, which was an important factor leading to the lack of money in ancient times.

The higher the copper content of a copper coin, the happier the criminals will be.

If the copper content is less than 50%, the profit of casting bronze will be low, and you will have to risk being killed, which is too cost-effective.

With fewer people doing this, the amount of money in circulation in the world can be ensured to a certain extent.

Is it to save face or to be a real convenience? Wen Yi chose the latter without hesitation.

But the copper content of copper coins is not as low as possible, if it is too low, there will be no color of copper at all, and the money will be very brittle and easy to break, and people are unwilling to use it.

The ancients spent thousands of years summing up a more reasonable ratio, and forty percent copper is the best. Except that the color is not very good-looking, there is no problem with the quality at all.

Therefore, the weight of each Datang Tongbao is one coin, and the copper content is forty percent, but the purchasing power is equal to that of one penny of copper.

In order to prevent some people from copying, Wenyi did not use the ancient method of casting coinage, but made a hydraulic stamping machine to make money.

Stamping can make a fine gear edge, but casting can't make it. The gear edge is not only used for anti-counterfeiting, but also to prevent edge cutting.

In ancient times, there were criminals who collected copper coins and cut off the outer edge with scissors, or polished it...... A copper coin is cut a little, and it is also a considerable wealth to accumulate a small amount.

As long as the cut is not too excessive, ordinary people can't see it, and copper coins can still be circulated.

The gear side can prevent this from happening, and as soon as you see that the gear is gone, you will know that the coin has been cut and rejected.

Moreover, the density of stamped coins is greater than that of casting, which is stronger and more wear-resistant, and the texture is also more fine, so that experienced people can feel the difference by hand.

When the first batch of stamped Datang Tongbao was placed in front of them, everyone was conquered by its texture, and they were no longer obsessed with whether the color was good-looking.
