"It's useless for you to call me over, I don't want to say I've seen this thing, I haven't even heard of it."

Tomahawk looked at the two people in front of him, he didn't think he could make a difference.

"Brother Tomahawk, you've always used something like this before, haven't you?"

"I haven't used it, I don't even know what copper is."

Facing Fan Qingyan's inquiry, Tomahawk shook his head again and again.

"Didn't you use gold as a treasure before?"

"It's just a symbol of wealth, but if you want to say what he can really do, it won't buy anything."

Li Chengzhou came over.

"It's okay, as long as the vision is big, what we are talking about now has nothing to do with specific coinage, what we are talking about is a big thing."

"Okay, okay, you talk, I'll listen."

The three of them stared at each other, and none of them knew what to say.

Li Chengzhou broke this embarrassing situation: "I'll make a good record, and then show it to Fang Lao, you say, I remember." ”

He picked up a pen and paper and prepared to take notes.

"How should the mining of copper ore be carried out willingly by the county magistrates of these cities? What benefits should be given? ”

Tomahawks are not impressed by this statement.

"We're central, they're local, aren't they going to listen to us?"

"That being said, but these people are my senior brothers after all, and it's not good to be coerced, which will damage their enthusiasm."

"Even if they were forced to do it, they would do it, right?"

"If there's a reward, they're more motivated and more efficient. So it's better to lure it with benefits. ”

Tomahawk nodded: "Then let them benefit, whoever makes the money, who is responsible for distributing it." ”

Fan Qingyan couldn't wait to kick him out.

"That thing can make people in the local area? Isn't that a mess, believe it or not, if you dare to do this, they won't do anything for a day, just make money. ”

Fan Qingyan was too disappointed with the two people in front of him.

"You two don't say any more, I say, you add, is that okay?"

Lee Seung-ju Tomahawk agreed.

"No problem, you say, let's listen."

The two of them were happy.

"The benefits given to them must not be divided according to the proportion, otherwise it will be too exaggerated."

"How?"

"Whichever city mines copper ore will be given double when the coins are distributed later."

"Will this attract the city?"

"Double the capital, this is in the hands of my group of senior brothers, they can play flowers!"

"Well, what if no one does it?"

"It can't be that no one will do it, Los Angeles developed early, and now there is plenty of labor, and the task now is to build roads, weave, pick cotton, and farm. There's not much else to do. They will certainly steal the copper ore from the past. The Bronze City is 100% theirs, and if they are a little bolder, they will dare to fight for the copper mines in Red Mountain City. ”

Li Chengzhou nodded: "I made a note that the city that mines copper ore will receive double the allocation." ”

"As for the style of the copper coin, it adopts the shape of the outer circle and the inner square, which saves materials on the one hand, and is easy to cast on the other hand."

"Got it."

"Your Majesty, do you have any thoughts on the name of the copper coin?"

"A name? Is there anything special about this? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's mainly about the name you come up with, and in general, the name of the coin is related to the year name. However, we did not stipulate the era name of Tang before. It depends on what you mean, Your Majesty. ”

"Then let's think of an era name now, is there anything special about the era name?"

"Generally, era names are more auspicious, it depends on what your Majesty thinks and what you want to use as an era name."

Li Chengzhou thought about it.

"New Tang, how's it going?"

"Is there any moral to it?"

"There is no meaning, just thinking about the new Tang Dynasty and emerging forces, let's use the New Tang Dynasty as the era name. By the way, can I change the era name later? ”

"You can change it, if there is any major event, you can change it, or Your Majesty, you can change it if you like."

"Then call it Xintang, and announce it at the court next time."

"Then this is easy to do, it is now the first year of the New Tang Dynasty, and our coins can be called New Tang Tongbao, how about this?"

"Yes, it's pretty good."

In this way, the new Tang Tongbao, which influenced the entire American continent, appeared in the deliberations of the three young men.

"Another thing, when minting copper coins, do you mint the coins directly in two cities, or do you transport the smelted copper to a certain city to be minted centrally?"

"Since coins are so important, how can they let the place mint them, let them send the smelted copper to Fire Ox City to be minted again, and it is not far away."

"Okay, I will make a mold for the copper coin in the iron ore area later, and then directly melt the copper, and then it can be cast in batches."

Li Chengzhou applauded: "It's great, it's great, I think our discussion is very useful." ”

"As long as you don't speak, it's very useful, and as soon as you play your thoughts, you start to float, and you can't hold it at all."

"After all, don't I understand, is there anything else to 'discuss'?"

Hearing the word discussion, Fan Qingyan almost wanted to shoot these two people to death, obviously he had been saying it, and the battle axe was even more silent.

"After the coins are minted, these coins must flow into the people, and it is impossible to circulate the coins with the power of the people alone."

"What then?"

"We can no longer have the government provide food for the whole city, we must allocate the fields in place as soon as possible, so that the people can be self-reliant, build their own houses, farm their own land, hunt and gather food, and live a self-sufficient life."

"What does this have to do with the circulation of coins?"

"Then give each family a hundred coins, let them come to the official warehouse to buy, their coins can buy what they want, and they will naturally circulate."

"So we have to divide the fields among the people first, right, Brother Qingyan?"

"Yes, it is also convenient to divide these lands among the people, and it will be convenient for them to collect taxes later, and they will get their own land, and we will collect grain and taxes from it, and we will also be able to enrich the official warehouse."

"What a good idea!"

"Therefore, the issuance of coins must be cautious, and the coins can be distributed to various cities in advance, but for when the official circulation and issuance will begin, it must be cautious, it doesn't matter if it is late, but it must be issued at the most appropriate time."

The battle axe nodded: "Brother Qingyan's words are right, if the coins were distributed early, but they didn't play their due role, the barbarians in your mouth would definitely throw them away." ”

"Brother Qingyan, what about the purchasing power of money?"

"There is no hurry in this, we have to wait for the coins to be made, and we have to wait for the various cities to distribute the fields to the people in the city, and then think about these things after these preparations are done."

"Okay, then I'll go find Fang Lao now!"
