Zhao Hanzhang picked up a copper coin and looked at it carefully, this was designed by her and Fu Tinghan together, which was roughly the same as the current five-baht coin, but there were many differences in details.

It has a small "Zhao" character in the lower left corner of the back, the side Guo is neat, and all the money weighs the same, about 2.3 baht, which is the average value of Xiliang's new money.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed after reversing his weight, "Wait a minute...... I must make the five-baht coin worthy of its name and weigh five baht. ”

Since the war, although the five-baht coin is still called the five-baht coin, the weight has fallen from five baht to three baht, and it has fallen a lot.

Fu Tinghan didn't understand, "Why do you have to weigh five baht, when you really have the ability to issue a new currency across the country, just change the name and make a new coin." ”

He said: "Now the weight of the new money we make is two baht and three wires, that is, ten and a half copper coins weigh one tael, do you know how much a thousand copper coins weigh?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang didn't speak, Fu Tinghan said: "I originally disliked that the current copper coins are too heavy, every time we want to go out to buy something valuable, Fu An has to carry a blanket on his back, and it weighs more than a dozen catties just by putting a few hanging coins inside." ”

He said: "There is still less commercial activity now, and if the situation settles down in the future and there will be more commercial activities, in fact, paper money is more convenient." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Then the country has to have enough prestige, otherwise, the current Dajin don't talk about issuing banknotes, if he prints a copper coin that is lighter than ours, do you dare to use it?" ”

That's not daring.

Shen Ruhui and the four of them arrived in Luoyang safely, holding Zhao Zhongyu's letter, Zhao Hanzhang valued them very much, not only met them in person, but also arranged a house for the four of them.

From the arranged house, it can be seen that Zhao Hanzhang is very attentive to them, and the houses of the four of them are all where they lived in Luoyang in the past.

It's just that their family has average income, so the house was rented back then.

However, the landlord ran away a long time ago, and now he doesn't know life and death, so the house is now Zhao Hanzhang's, and she directly gave it to them.

For talents with real skills, Zhao Hanzhang has always been generous in this regard (anyway, you don't have to spend your own money).

In addition to the house, Zhao Hanzhang's Ministry of Industry was also quietly established, the Ministry of Industry consists of Tian Cao and the Ministry of Water and other departments, Shen Ruhui not only served in Sinong Temple, but also served as Tian Cao Pengshi, Cao Ping is still in the Ministry of Water, and the two of them assisted Fu Tinghan together.

But now Fu Tinghan still feels that there are not enough manpower, especially the Ministry of Engineering needs to calculate too many things, so he said: "In the next recruitment order, I want to open a separate arithmetic exam and focus on screening talents in this area." ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "Then I'll let people announce it now, so that people who are good at this can prepare early." ”

This can be regarded as accurate materials, but these talents have to be taught by Fu Tinghan when they are admitted, Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him sympathetically, "You are really anxious to ask for someone, you can go to Taixue to have a look." ”

This year, Taixue has recruited more than 90 students, all of whom are quite old, with a good background, and they are also from elementary school, so there may be suitable people.

Fu Tinghan nodded, "I'll go." ”

Zhao Hanzhang herself felt that there was a shortage of manpower, she turned her head to look at the moon in the sky outside the window, and muttered, "I don't know what happened to Yan Heng." ”

I don't know, I thought Yan Heng knew her well, but in fact, the two had only met a few times, and even exchanged hands back and forth a few times through Gou Xi.

But Zhao Hanzhang is very worried about Yan Heng now, this worry is sincere, "There has been no news......

Fu Tinghan said: "No news is good news, if Gou Xi kills the closest staff around him, the news will not be hidden." ”

"Yes." Zhao Hanzhang put his mind at ease.

However, at this time, Yan Heng's situation was not very good.

The letter of advice he asked General Pei to hand over a few days ago was only handed over today.

General Pei and Yan Heng have a good relationship, knowing that he has a tense relationship with the general recently, although he didn't open the letter to read it, but the temper of Yan Heng knows that it will not be too good.

So he has been looking for an opportunity, to find a moment when the general is in a good mood and relaxed, that day he went to accompany the general to enjoy the song and dance, but in the middle of the general's mansion someone broke a bowl, the general was not very happy, at that time General Pei put back the letter that had been taken out;

After two days, the general was also in a bad mood, and heard that the two counties on the border with Yuzhou were making trouble, and even the emperor heard about it, and the general entered the palace to inquire;

General Pei could only rest his mind again, and the general was not in a good mood for the next three days.

Today is the best day he has been in during this time, he has two new concubines, and they are very beautiful, so he called everyone to drink together.

At the banquet, General Pei saw that he was in a good mood, so he handed over the admonition that he had been holding.

Then Gou Xi turned sunny and cloudy in an instant, he didn't say anything to General Pei, but turned around and asked people to take Yan Heng, and then wanted to kill him.

General Pei and several other generals hurriedly asked for mercy, but Gou Xi was angry and drove out of the general's mansion, at that time he wanted to kill someone, and everyone didn't dare to commit it, so he could only withdraw from the general's mansion for the time being.

Ming Yu, who was sick, heard that he was still sick, so he immediately got up and rushed to the general's mansion to stop him.

Zhao Zhongyu, who was already lying down, received the news, and immediately got up from the bed, and hurriedly asked, "Did you kill anyone?" ”

"People are in the General's Mansion, and they can't find any news, but they have been arrested and brought into the Mansion for an hour, and they are only afraid that there will be more luck and less luck."

When Zhao Zhongyu heard this, he didn't care that it was dark, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and went into the palace.

Because he is Zhao Hanzhang's uncle and grandfather, although he and Gou Xi are officials in the same dynasty, their relationship is not far or close, but they are just peaceful on the face, and they really have no friendship.

His plea will make him determined to kill, and this matter can only be begged by the emperor.

Of course, Zhao Zhongyu couldn't tell the emperor that I wanted to recruit talents for my niece, so I asked him to save him.

Zhao Zhongyu met with the emperor overnight and quietly told him that Gou Xi was going to execute Yan Heng, he said: "Your Majesty, Gou Xi was honest and honest from the front, but now he is extravagant, and the generals who followed him in the past were very dissatisfied, Yan Heng followed him from the time he was in decline, and the generals around him were very good, once he was killed, I was afraid that the generals would rebel." ”

Zhao Zhongyu said: "Now Your Majesty has to rely on Gou Xi, and his stability is the stability of Yuncheng, and the stability of Your Majesty, so please ask Your Majesty to come forward to stop this disaster." ”

The emperor and Gou Xi got along well during this time, although he was greedy, and the emperor's perception of him was different, but he was quite attentive, many government affairs will ask the emperor what he meant, he has slowly taken power, and now even Jiangdong and Jiangnan have begun to slowly return to their hearts, he believes that as long as he is given time, he can gather his power, and then regain the lost territory.

So he didn't want to mess around either.

After thinking about Zhao Zhongyu's meaning for a while, he agreed, and immediately called the most trusted Huangmen around him and asked him to go to the General's Mansion to save people with the holy decree.

Zhao Zhongyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, only hoping that it would be in time.

Alas, after receiving Zhao Hanzhang's letter, he quietly went to Yan Heng and wanted to persuade him to go to Luoyang, but he still had hope for Gou Xi, and he refused to leave until he saw the letter.
