"This is the first silver dollar." Fei Chun took out a box and said.

Zhao Han smiled: "Sit down." ”

Fei Chun and Song Yingxing sat down separately.

This silver dollar is very beautiful and exquisite, and it should have been specially selected by the two of them.

The front is vertically printed with the words "One Yuan", and there are words such as "Chongzhen Eleventh Year" and "Made in Jiangxi" around it. The main pattern on the back is the intersection of rice ears and wheat ears, with the words "the world is the same".

Zhao Han was very satisfied: "The patterns of these ears of rice and wheat are fine and complex, are they used to prevent forgery?" ”

"It is indeed used for anti-counterfeiting," Song Yingxing nodded and said, "The circle of dots around it is also used for anti-counterfeiting." ”

Zhao Han asked again: "Hydraulicly suppressed?" ”

Song Yingxing explained: "Rolling with water rollers. ”

This is not technically difficult, during the Ming Dynasty, Habsburg, Austria, has been using roller rolling technology.

Fifty years ago, Spain used hydraulic rollers to spin coins, and the mint was located in Spain.

In the last two or three decades, Mexico's mints have also begun to adopt this technology.

Zhao Han's original request to Song Yingxing was that he must use water power to mint coins. In the case of hydraulic coinage, stamping is more cumbersome, and roller rolling is very simple.

Zhao Han played with the silver dollar and asked, "This is the best condition, what about the bad one?" ”

Song Yingxing took out two more silver dollars and said, "If the quality is not good, there are roughly these two situations." ”

Zhao Han took it and took a look, one was seriously bent, and the other was misplaced.

Song Yingxing explained: "Roller rolling, it is inevitable to bend and deform, and it must be manually hammered before it can leave the factory. There is also the roller template, which may sometimes be crooked, resulting in the misalignment of the silver dollar pattern. ”

Zhao Han instructed: "If the pattern is misplaced, melt it down and remake it." ”

The Spanish silver dollar of eight rials, with all kinds of curved surfaces and misplaced patterns, was still taken out and circulated.

"How much silver?" Zhao Han asked.

Song Yingxing said: "A silver dollar is one tael, containing eight coins of silver, and the auxiliary material is white copper. ”

Cupronickel is a copper-nickel alloy, and this silver dollar has a silver content of 88%.

As for the Spanish silver dollar, the silver content is about 90%.

The difference in silver content of 2% leads to the higher hardness of the Datong silver dollar, and the bending of the coin surface is not so serious when rolled, and it is not so easy to be damaged and deformed in long-term circulation.

In addition, the Datong silver dollar is one tael, and the standard weight is 37.3 grams. The Spanish silver dollar is less than a tael and has a standard weight of 27.07 grams.

In China, the Datong silver dollar is definitely more convenient, and it can directly correspond to one or two pieces of silver.

Zhao Han said: "The mint, the mint, and the ticket making factory (military and official tickets) will be separated from the Department of Public Works and the Department of Finance in the future. There is a separate mint, which is under the direct management of the General Military Office, and is co-managed by the Department of Public Works and the Department of Finance. ”

"Yes!"

Fei Chun and Song Yingxing gave up.

Fei Chun said: "From this winter to next summer's harvest, grain merchants must be controlled and grain shipments must be prohibited. Please send a few naval warships to cooperate with the inspection. ”

"Yes." Zhao Han immediately agreed.

The main reason is that within a year, there are two more provinces on the territory, resulting in a serious shortage of grain in Jiangxi. If it is not regulated, food prices will inevitably skyrocket next spring.

Don't look at the beginning of the year, there were only 16,000 regular soldiers.

However, at the same time, more than 60,000 peasants and soldiers and grain transporters participated in the war.

Using the ancient calculation method, Zhao Han sent 80,000 troops this year!

If you brag about it again, you can announce that you will send 200,000 troops.

In the later period, too many cities were occupied, and 6,000 peasant soldiers were continued to be transferred to the newly occupied cities for defense. It is necessary to wait for more than half a year for the public order in these cities to be stabilized and the officials to arrest and arrest them quickly, so that the peasants and soldiers defending the cities in various places can be withdrawn.

These peasants and soldiers defending the city also have to consume food!

In addition, a large number of officials, missionaries, and backbone peasant associations were dispatched, and they also had to migrate and provide disaster relief in the future.

Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong have no surplus food.

If it weren't for the large number of military tickets, Zhao Han would not even be able to pay enough for the soldiers. He was not a Manchu Qing, so he ran to grab it when he didn't have enough food. Zhao Han laid down the territory, not only could he not grab food, but also had to use his own food to relieve the disaster.

Therefore, Zhao Han only dared to increase the number of troops to 23,000 this time.

We must wait until next year's summer harvest and when there is enough food to expand the army by 5,000 again.

28,000 soldiers, enough to pacify the south!

With these soldiers as the skeleton, an army of 300,000 can be pulled out at any time.

After handling official business, Zhao Han returned to the inner house.

"Giggles!"

It's not who is laughing, it's the cries of the hens.

Pan Qimei still lives in the same courtyard as Fei Rulan, so they can communicate with each other as companions, and they can also let Pan Qimei learn Chinese as soon as possible.

It's just that another one entered the empty courtyard and was opened up by Pan Qimei to raise chickens......

Bought a rooster, six hens, and a large flock of chicks.

Pan Qimei is afraid that the chicken manure will stink to others, so she cleans it diligently every day. Moreover, the chicken manure is not wasted, and it is sold cheaply to maids, who take it home and hoard it, and then resell it to farmers in the countryside.

In this regard, Zhao Han and Fei Rulan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Wow Wow Wow Wow ......"

Suddenly, a burst of crying came, and Zhao Han walked into the chicken yard, but saw Gong'er leaning up her neck and crying.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Han asked.

Fei Rulan sighed and said: "Gong'er trampled on a chick to death, and no one scolded him, so he cried himself." ”

Zhao Han stroked the top of his son's head and comforted him softly: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry." ”

Pointing behind her, she sobbed so much that she couldn't speak coherently: "Dad...... Daddy, Chick...... No...... Don't move, stepped on by me...... Stepped on. ”

"Then should you be careful not to step on the chick in the future?" Zhao Han asked.

"Hmm." Quan Er wiped her tears and nodded.

Zhao Han smiled: "That's right." Don't be afraid to make mistakes, but make mistakes and must correct them. Remember? ”

Gong'er didn't understand it, but nodded.

Pan Qimei has already put away the body of the chick, afraid that the child will continue to cry when she sees it.

In fact, raising chickens is quite interesting, at least Gong'er likes it very much, and has to come to feed the chickens every day. Fei Rulan came with her occasionally, but she was familiar with these chickens, and the mother and son were simply raising pets.

The sadness of children comes and goes quickly.

It didn't take long for Gong'er to burst into laughter, feed the chickens with the rice bran mixed by the seventh sister on the plate, and squat there to observe the chickens eating.

Towards evening, the little sister came back, and Zheng Sen followed behind her.

Zheng Zhilong inquired, Zhao Han has a younger sister who is not married. He threw his son over, and specially warned his son that he could have more contact with Zhao Han's sister.

It goes without saying what is in mind.

Zheng Sen didn't take this matter to heart, but he was inexplicably attracted to Zhao Zhenfang.

Because Zhao Zhenfang is lively and generous, she is not only familiar with Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but also has completed the "Four Books", and also knows the mathematics of the West. Zhao Zhenfang is different from the girls Zheng Sen has come into contact with, there is a kind of self-improvement and self-confidence, as well as a kind of heartiness and freedom - this is influenced by Zhao Han.

Anyway, Zheng Sen was fascinated and ran with Zhao Zhenfang when he had time.

Zheng Sen is fifteen years old, and Zhao Zhenfang is sixteen years old, just like a younger brother following his sister.

In order to have a common topic, Zheng Sen not only talked about four books and poems, but also took the initiative to learn mathematics with Zhao Zhenfang.

"Oh, why haven't you learned it yet, I've taught you this kind of problem a few times, and you can solve it by applying the formula." Zhao Zhenfang fell a few ways.

Zheng Sen smirked: "I'm stupid. ”

In fact, he would have known it a long time ago, pretending to be stupid, just wanting to see Zhao Zhenfang's reproachful appearance.

With a smile and a smile, Zheng Sen thought it looked good.

Zheng Sen is thick-skinned and has been relying on it, obviously wanting to eat here.

Even during meal time, Zheng Sen's eyes fell on Zhao Zhenfang secretly.

The more Zhao Han looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong, he was going to focus on cultivating the national surname, why was this a bit off-track?

Zhao Zhenfang is a smart girl, and she has already noticed something unusual. Eating at home today, Zheng Sen actually peeked like this, and she was suddenly blushing with shame, for fear that her brother and sister-in-law would find out.

Taking advantage of Zhao Han's inattention, Zhao Zhenfang glared at Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen was stunned, that kind of coquettish appearance, and his face was still booming, and he suddenly looked at Zheng Sen stupidly.

What the hell is this?

Zhao Zhenfang didn't dare to stare anymore, burying her head and only caring about the rice, she was so confused now.

Zhao Zhenfang likes Xiao Shixuan, although he is as cold as a piece of wood, he is particularly charming when studying mathematics. As for this Zheng Sen, Zhao Zhenfang only regarded him as a little brother, but this younger brother's undisguised pursuit made Zhao Zhenfang feel a little fond of it.

Sometimes, Zhao Zhenfang thinks, which one should I choose?

Zhao Hanquan didn't see it, he didn't interfere in this kind of thing, everything was up to the little sister's own will.

After dinner, Zheng Sen ran with Zhao Zhenfang again.

When only the two of them were alone, Zhao Zhenfang scratched a hard look and warned: "Don't look at me like this, like a fool!" ”

"Okay." Zheng Sen said with a smile.

Zhao Zhenfang said again: "It's getting late, don't follow me, others will gossip." ”

"Where is my sister going to play tomorrow?" Zheng Sen asked.

Zhao Zhenfang said: "I have class tomorrow, but I don't have much time to play. ”

Zheng Sen said: "I'll pick you up after class, I still have a lot of math problems to ask." ”

"We'll talk about it then." Zhao Zhenfang felt that this person was a scoundrel.

Zheng Sen stood in the courtyard and said, "You go in, I'll watch you go back to your room." ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Zhao Zhenfang turned around and left.

After entering the house and closing the door, Zhao Zhenfang couldn't help but peek again.

Seeing that Zheng Sen was still standing there, Zhao Zhenfang felt that her face was hot, and at the same time she blamed herself. She felt that she was empathetic and didn't fall in love, she obviously liked Xiao Shixuan, why did she want to do this.

The hearts of boys and girls are always unpredictable and unpredictable.

Zhao Han was chatting with Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei, there were few people in the family, and the two women got along more harmoniously, and even ate together.

If there are too many people, it will definitely not be able to be so harmonious.

Pan Qimei's vocabulary is increasing day by day, and simple communication is not a problem, but she can't speak too fast or listen too fast. She sat next to her and smiled the whole time, listening to Zhao Han speak to Fei Rulan.

Pan Qimei likes Fei Rulan very much, like a sister and a mother, teaches her a lot of things, and takes special care of her.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Han went to the study.

When I came back from reading for two hours, the two women were still chatting, and they were mainly playing with Gong'er together.

"Haven't you slept yet?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

Fei Rulan said: "My eyelids are fighting, but I just refuse to sleep." ”

Qi'er lay in Pan Qimei's arms, her eyelids closed and opened, and she suddenly fell asleep with her head drooping.

"I'll take the baby back." Fei Rulan got up and said.

Two women, one person for one night, Zhao Han took turns to have the same room.

Suddenly, Zhao Han remembered the little movie he had watched before, and said dryly: "Why don't you give the child to the nurse, let's sleep together tonight." ”

"Let's ...... together" Fei Rulan reacted suddenly, blushing and chirping, "No shame!" ”

"Just one night, just one night." Zhao Han said in a pleading tone.

has always insisted on not accepting concubines, but now he wants to play flowers, and sure enough, power is easy to degenerate.

Fei Rulan got up and wanted to take the child away, but Zhao Han hurriedly stopped: "Come on, come on, just one night." ”

"Poof!"

Fei Rulan suddenly laughed, she had known Zhao Han for so many years, and it was the first time she had seen him pitiful.

Fei Rulan called Xiyue and asked her to hold the child to the nurse.

Xiyue took the child out, and the door was immediately closed. The girl was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but peek inside, her heart pounding, but unfortunately the lights went out soon.

Pan Qimei didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until she was pulled into the bedroom by Zhao Han and saw Fei Rulan also walking in, she was so ashamed that she shrank back on the bed and sat down.

Looking at the two beauties with different appearances, Zhao Han was hot.

"Don't look, blow the lamp!" Fei Rulan's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, until she could no longer be heard.

Pan Qimei got out of bed suddenly, ran in two steps, and blew it out.

The room was pitch black, except for the sound of squirming and undressing, followed by the heavier and heavier breathing of the three of them.

They were all nervous and excited.

Zhao Han finally degenerated, and was no longer a pure youth.
