The oracle fell like thunder!

The holy decree left the palace, and then spread like the wind throughout Chang'an City, and the courtiers of Chang'an City already knew the news, but this news was really aimed at the Shandong Kingdoms, which was the main place for private coinage.

The speed of Liu Heng's implementation of the policy was too fast, and before the kings and heroes of Shandong could react, Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong had already reached an agreement on this point, and sent the holy decree to the counties of the kingdoms.

But everyone knows that the promulgation of the decree is only the first step, and if the decree cannot be truly implemented, the final outcome will be that the court will be in disgrace.

So a new picket department was formed, which belonged to one of the nine Qing Da Si Shang, to crack down on those who minted counterfeit coins and broke the rules and regulations of the imperial court, which was a functional department that would inevitably be established after the decision to take the coinage back to the imperial court.

The princes and kings of the Shandong countries, as well as those students, reacted differently in the face of the edicts issued by the imperial court.

Some students said directly: "For decades, the world has been thriving, and the copper content in the coins is extremely high. ”

"Does Your Majesty know the voice of the people of the world?"

Someone else said impassionedly: "If Your Majesty knows about this matter but insists on going its own way, isn't this a single husband's move?" ”

Then the debate in the Changle Palace that day spread through some channel, and the whole Shandong fell into silence in an instant.

The students are still able to retreat because of the reason.

But those who can benefit from the coinage are full of anger in their hearts, since ancient times it has been difficult to reform, because the groups that have obtained benefits will definitely block it in every way, and these vested interests often have the decisive power, these people can always not achieve things, but can do bad things.

Just like the current Han Dynasty, the princes and kings may not be the opponents of the imperial court, but they have the ability to incite the people to rebel and even make Shandong erosive.

Once that step has been reached, it is not the princes and heroes who oppose the court, but the endless people, because the princes and heroes did not break the law, but the people broke the law.

Even if the imperial court knew that there were ghosts in it, what could it do?

It is still necessary to suppress those people who have risen up to rebel, and even need the help of local princes and heroes.

Now the princes and magnates are very angry, and the court is delusional to take away our wealth by a single edict?

It's a dream!

In particular, the princes of the Liu family, Wang and the Marquis of Che, were even more boiling, and loudly reprimanded: "They are all the descendants of Emperor Gao, we have meritorious service in defending the land, and the imperial court will take back the coinage if it wants to."

But we are not allowed to cast it privately, the court uses copper, and we use copper, your money is money, and my money is not money?

Where in the world is there such a truth!

This is something that only a single husband does. ”

However, although these people scolded fiercely, they were very self-conscious physically, and they did not dare to directly raise troops like Huainan and Wu in the past.

Because these people are actually a minority in Shandong, their strength is not strong enough.

This is a misunderstanding of many people, that is, they think that after the imperial court relaxes control, everyone will be able to mint money, so there should be a lot of princes and heroes who make money.

In fact, in the early days, there were indeed all kinds of money circulating in the market, and all the princes and princes wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie, but the people could decide whether to collect money or not, so after decades of competition, those copper coins with high coinage costs and poor coin quality had long been automatically eliminated by the market.

All that remains is the best coin with the highest copper content, and the only way to recast the bad coin is to re-smelt it.

Therefore, those who really profit by minting money are only a very small number of great princes and kings, as well as those who are united by some marquis standing behind them.

But even if these people are united, they are still extremely weak in the face of the imperial court.

Unable to confront the imperial court, and unwilling to give up the interests in his hands, the undercurrent is surging more and more.

A lot of evil feelings are bred in it, like a pile of firewood, waiting for an opportunity to burn completely, either directly burning themselves to ashes, or blowing the ashes of the court.

After the imperial edict was issued, the feeling of the previous group of people was completely different from that of the previous group of princes and magnates who had been defeated in the struggle for coinage, and they were simply ecstatic.

It's not easy to make real money rolls but those bastards who are backed by copper mountains, and it's not easy to make counterfeit coins mixed with base metals?

The people living in this land have hundreds of years of experience in counterfeiting, and although the tools were rusty, they can still be used for polishing and polishing, and the craftsmanship of those years is still retained.

Now I am waiting for the court to issue a new system of money, and then I will directly take it back and melt the money.

"Leaf money", "elm money", "brittle money".

These familiar coins will be circulating again in the world, and our glory days are back!

Countless people seem to have seen countless money into their pockets like flowing water, and under the temptation of huge interests, the newly established Grand Priest and Picket Division was ignored by everyone.

The newly promulgated "Han Qian Decree" of the imperial court was also forgotten.

Naturally, some people are very worried: "The imperial court seems to attach great importance to this matter, so will it really not anger the imperial court?" ”

Then he got a completely unexpected answer: "We have done a lot of things that violate the Han law, and even killed people, don't we still stand here well?"

The sun in the sky still has shadows that can't shine, and even if the emperor of Chang'an wants to be like the sun, Shandong is also a corner where it can't shine.

Violate the law?

It's a crime to get caught!

When Empress Gao and King Luo Wen were on the throne, they couldn't do anything to us, and what could he, an emperor who had just been on the throne for a short time, do to us?

We are all relatives of the Han family, and we are the ones who defend his throne, don't we want to give up this little profit?

Then he will betray his relatives and leave! ”

These words are arrogant and sincere, highlighting a fearless and justifiable person.

The words are full of Shandong Tiangao Emperor Yuan, this is not Guanzhong, we have the final say here.

When Qin sent here, you have to be careful of the mountain bandits and water bandits, if you can't go back, it won't be good.

While many people were watching, the imperial court began to put copper coins made by the imperial court into Chang'an.

The size and specifications of the coins used in ancient times were very particular, and it was not easy to pass for money that was too high and too low.

Liu Heng still remembered what Luo Xin told him back then, when the coins were minted, the quality was very high, these new coins were beautifully made, and the most important thing was that there was a rim on the edge of the coin, which could effectively prevent the edge from being cut.

In the past, the Qin State half a tael, every seven or eight half taels, after cutting the edge, you can recast a half tael, but the world uses all this kind of residual money, and the people suffer from it, Luo Xin has told Liu Heng many times about these things, and he can't let the people of the world suffer this anymore when he mints money now.

And the weight of these coins is very suitable, it is very suitable for circulating coins, there are two words "Tianhan" on the coin, so it is called "Tianhan money", the people of Chang'an City are relieved in the face of this kind of coin, and they have sung the emperor's kindness.

In the Changle Palace, Luo Jing reported to Liu Heng what he had observed, "Your Majesty, Tianhan money is still very popular with the people, and Tianhan money can't be trimmed.

However, if someone privately casts bad money, it will still be impossible to prevent it, no one in Chang'an City should dare to make a move, Guanzhong is even more focused on the royal family, the big families dare not act rashly, as long as they control the relatives and nobles, there is no problem.

But there will be an accident in Shandong, you have to live in Chang'an, it is inconvenient to travel, after a while, wait for things to ferment, the minister wants to go to Shandong for you to have a look, take a walk. ”

The Guanzhong of this world line is much more cohesive than the Guanzhong of the original world line where Ji Zhao is located, after the migration of the Luo people and the Chu people, plus the tomb of King Su is here, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in the past have almost been washed into eight hundred miles of Luochuan Chu water.

The rule of the Han court here is quite stable, especially since there are no very pit rulers in the Han court at present, and the life of the people here is thriving.

Hearing that Luo Jing wanted to go to Shandong, Liu Heng said with some worry: "Ah Jing, it's not that I don't want you to go to Shandong, it's really that the situation in Shandong is complicated, although these princes and kings have been pushed by the split country, it is basically difficult to compete with the imperial court."

But if they play any tricks and take risks, causing any damage to you, I will be guilty for the rest of my life.

My uncle has assisted me for more than ten years, I serve him as my father, and treat you as my own brother, if something happens to you, what face will I have to see my uncle after a hundred years? ”

Liu Heng is still very clear about the chaos of Shandong's politics, it is a completely different world from Guanzhong, not only the princes and kings and the marquis, but even the county guards and county orders directly under the imperial court are also in their hands.

These people were very obedient when Luo Xin was alive, and Luo Xin's policies were also implemented through these people, but after Liu Heng took the throne, his prestige was insufficient, so naturally some people began to act carefully.

In this case, let Luo Jing go to a dangerous place like Shandong, how could he rest assured.

Liu Heng's worries are still very reasonable in other eras, Ji Zhao doesn't pay attention to the world most of the time, even if Luo's son is in danger, it is too late to rescue.

And blood and sacrifice are the choices of the children of the family themselves, just like those Luo's sons who died on the battlefield in the past.

Unless they take the initiative to call for help, Ji Zhao never interferes with their choice of fate.

But this era is different, Luoling, the god of the world, sits in Zhaocheng, and cares a lot about the life of Luo's son.

Luo Jing laughed softly when he heard Liu Heng's words: "Your Majesty, there are brave soldiers to protect the ministers, and the ministers have no worries." ”

The Han Emperor's desire to reclaim the power to mint money back to the imperial family aroused the resentment of the high-ranking nobles in the East, including the king and some high-ranking lords, and some large merchant groups tried to obstruct the implementation of the imperial decrees. - "Glory of the Empire: The Han Empire"
