In spring and March, the spring flowers are blooming, with one or two friends, with two or three pots of wine, listening, smelling the fragrance of plants and trees, appreciating the splendid spring light, and chatting endlessly, it is really a great joy in life. Sitting in the back garden of the house, Hua is enjoying this kind of fun.

The house is the house of Guan Ning's family, and it was Zhang Han's reward at the end of last year. Guan Ning just moved in after the New Year, and he has lived there for less than two months. Guan Ning's persuasion in the past few years has achieved remarkable results, and the school has basically covered most of Qingzhou, so that the enrollment rate of school-age children in Qingzhou has soared to 30 percent 78 percent, close to 40 percent. A few years ago, Zhang Han sent troops to win a big victory, and he was in a good mood, and when he heard the news, he was even more happy, so he rewarded this house to Guan Ning.

The house is not big, three before and after, but it covers an area of seven acres and a little more, but the garden is carefully cleaned up, the rockery pond is green and red-flowered, and people walk on the winding stone road, covering between, as if a step and a scene.

Zhang Han was not reluctant to reward Guan Ning's mansion, however, Guan Ning did not care about it. In the past, Zhang Han rewarded Guan Ning's house several times, but Guan Ning refused to accept it, saying that "no merit is not rewarded", "rewards and punishments are clear" or something. Now, if you want to reward the mansion, you have to find it from outside the city, or from the big city where the common people live, but Guan Ning is really not interested. The house is just a place to live in peace, as long as there is a place to live, but he doesn't care about the size of it. If it weren't for the unavoidable, Guan Ning's house wouldn't accept it.

"This garden is good......

Hua took a sip of Pu Tao wine, so that the sweet and luscious taste filled his mouth, this kind of Pu Tao wine that has been cellared for ten years cannot be bought. I think it was also sent by Zhang Han, and he also received it, but unfortunately the quantity was less, not enough to drink. No, he had to take advantage of this opportunity to drink more so that he wouldn't stay a little longer......

"It's okay, I think the original house is comfortable to live in. Such a large yard is too troublesome to clean up, and it was enough to have three or five servants and maids in the original house, but now eighteen servants and maids are not enough to call, and there are more people to ......."

Guan Ning held the wine glass and said casually. A sweet smell of apples lingers around him, green vegetables and radishes have their own loves, Hua likes Pu Tao wine, and he prefers cider.

Listening to Guan Ning's words, Hua couldn't help laughing, he knew Guan Ning, if it was someone else, he might still think that Guan Ning was hypocritical:

"You'an, take your time, just get used to it, anyway, it's not like you can't afford to raise ......"

What Hua said is indeed true. Zhang Han is very strict with his subordinates, but the treatment is also very generous. Since the beginning of the peace, the salary engaged in has been on par with Taishou, which is 2,000 stones. The salary is half a dollar and half a valley, and Guan Ning is 60 valleys and 9,000 per month. This is to set the price of each stone of grain at 150, and when this price was originally set, it was set lower. Today, however, you can buy 5 taels of millet or 7 stone grains at this price.

In addition, in order to settle the families of the subordinate officials, Zhang Han also divided some fields for everyone according to their rank and qualifications. Of course, these fields were originally official land, and they had to pay money, but eighty yuan per mu was the same as picking up for nothing. After the first peace, Zhang Han simply did not mention the matter of money, and directly declared that it was a place to settle down for everyone.

Zhang Han is rewarding everyone in disguise. Since bribes are not allowed, and there is a huge disparity in the exchange of gifts between them, they will be warned, and the treatment will naturally be more generous. Ancient and modern China and foreign countries are the same, thousands of miles for officials only for wealth. Although Guan Ning doesn't like this kind of thing very much, it is related to the interests of everyone, and he can't help but follow the customs.

Guan Ning only took the lowest part of the grade he deserved, but there were as many as ten hectares of fertile land. Whether renting to tenants or farming with his own slaves, Guan Ning can also earn at least thousands of stone of grain every year. It is easy to feed a hundred and ten servants and maidservants. Over the years, Zhang Han has divided more than 2,000 hectares of land in Qi State. The most recent time was given to Han Fu, and he rewarded a hundred hectares of fertile land at one time.

"That's right, take your time......"

Talking gossip in his mouth, Guan Ning wondered in his heart. What is Hua here for, why did he come early in the morning to talk about some gossip. From the layout of the house, to the rockery garden; Then pull it to the hillside to plant trees, or plant them; Furthermore, the lack of large livestock such as cattle and horses has affected the promotion of agricultural production technology; When it comes to cattle and horses, it comes to Youzhou; Hua is logical, from the cattle and horses in Youzhou to the reality of Youzhou; The two discussed the war in Youzhou for a long time, and studied how to pacify Youzhou after the war......

Somehow, Hua turned back to the garden. Guanhua drank vigorously, could it be that he specially came to drink alcohol...... Guan Ning was amused by his own thoughts.

Forget it, let him go.

On this day, it happened to be the turn of Xiu Mu, that is, the day of rest and bathing after five days of work, Guan Ning was going to sort out the situation in Jizhou and prepare for the school in Jizhou, it seems that he has to wait for the road to see it......

Since Guan Ning has decided to take a day off today, he is not in a hurry. However, he was not in a hurry, but Hua was in a hurry -- he came today with a mission. It's a pity that this is really not a good job, and Hua has never known how to speak. After gossiping for a while, Hua couldn't hold on, and he reached out and took out something from his sleeve:

"By the way, You'an, I've got a good thing, I'll let you see it today......"

Hua stretched out his hand, and there was a golden thing in the palm of his hand, in the sun

of the light. When Guan Ning saw this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Ziyu, what a joke! Isn't this the golden five baht? What's the surprise? ”

Zhang Han mastered the legendary alchemy and refined the news of "fake gold", which was the most sensational gossip of the month. As soon as the gold five baht came out, it was a shock to the world. Not to mention Qingzhou, it is estimated that it is far away in Bashu, and now you can know the news. For a while, there was everything. The more popular rumors are all linking the development of the county Zhang family with "fake gold".

Some say that Zhang Han met the immortals, and some say that Zhang He, or Zhang Zhao met the immortals, anyway, Zhang helped the immortals - this favor was as small as feeding the immortals a mouthful of water and helping the immortals show the way, so big that they resisted the catastrophe and saved the lives of the immortals, and as a result, the immortals were moved, so they taught alchemy to Zhang.

Of course, some people say that the county Zhang family is unspeakably expensive, and when the gods see it, they bow their heads and worship them, respectfully, crying and shouting, and asking Zhang to accept alchemy......

It is also said that the Zhang family has obtained the Book of Heaven, which records countless immortal law books, and alchemy is only the most inconspicuous of them.

In addition, the rumors of Zhang Han's witchcraft mastery, devouring the heavens and eating the earth, and the story of Zhang Han's reincarnation, the original form from the gods, stars (mainly disaster stars), to demons and monsters, are also occasionally circulated......

Naturally, not many people cared about these rumors. Attention was focused on the crucial question of how gold is made. "Gold can be made, the world can be done", such an old saying has spread again.

It can be said that in this month, the most popular topic in the world is this "golden five baht". Not to mention the common people, even when Guan Ning was chatting with people, eight out of ten people asked him for news. Many people secretly set up smelting furnaces at home.

A few days ago, there was a very diligent scribe, but suddenly he was always late, and he was exposed, and he was quietly alchemizing gold at home. The matter is quite special, and it has been stabbed to Zhang Han. Zhang Han didn't punish him, but when he left, Wen Yan persuaded him a few words, saying, "Fake gold is not so easy to refine, it's better to do your promising job as a scribe."

To say, Zhang Han's words are not false. This scribe was originally diligent and clever, and he has recently promoted a group of people, and he is one of the key training objects, and he gets along well with his boss, a promising young man.

However, the scribe lost his life, and he couldn't let go of alchemy, so he simply didn't do anything, and within two days he resigned from his mission and went home to alchemy.

A very promising civil servant went home to alchemy and birds, and the grand occasion of alchemy can be seen. Zhang Han was forced to issue a notice to curb the frenzy. The notice is quite long, but the central meaning is very simple, that is, one sentence: gold is not so easy to refine, and it is good to work honestly. However, such a notice is not convincing at all. Many people often fail to make gold, but they lose their families. A little later, Zhang Han had to give an order to reiterate the decree of the Great Han Kingdom, "Pseudo-gold abandonment law", which slightly suppressed alchemy activities and caused them to go underground.

By the way, more than 50,000 people were arrested for violating the "pseudo-gold abandonment law" this year, and Zhang Han couldn't kill them all, so in desperation, Zhang Han was forced to announce an amnesty, pardoned the capital crimes of these people, and sentenced them to serve hard labor.

At this moment, the frenzy of alchemy has just started, but Guan Ning doesn't care much about this, if Hua Hao thinks about it occasionally, he will jokingly ask when he sees Zhang Han. Guan Ning didn't mention it.

Therefore, as soon as Hua took out the gold five baht, Guan Ning was immediately very tired, and after saying a word, he felt that his tone was not appropriate, so he said in a joking tone:

"What? Could it be the gold you refined? ”

"Where?"

Speaking of alchemy, Hua is also happy, he is not a fool, alchemy is really so easy to study, and no one will succeed for hundreds of years. Even if someone really studies alchemy, what can it be, counterfeit money will lose its head, and if there are more people who know it, fake gold will be worthless.

"However, Ziyu, you can look away, this is not a golden five baht......"

Hua slapped the big coin on the stone table with a "snap".

"Oh?"

Guan Ning was also interested, and took it over to take a look, there was no difference, they were all so big. casually took out a gold five baht from his sleeve and put it together to compare and examine it carefully, Guan Ning found the difference between the two.

The size and general shape of the two are the same, but the words and patterns on the money are very different. Moreover, the money that Hua brought was also heavier, Guan Ning weighed it, and it was estimated that it would be at least twice as heavy.

"It's ......"

"This is twelve gold, but not five baht gold, real gold casting, one exactly weighs twelve baht, a pound of gold can cast thirty-two, you see......"

Hua pointed to the pattern on the back, which was not four spirits, but four identical birds:

"This is the Golden Crow!"

Turn it over again, point to the text on it, there are two small characters on the left and right, "twelve" on the right, and "golden baht" on the left, which together are "twelve golden baht". The top is still "straight", but the bottom has been changed to the word "five".

"What? Worth five? ”

Guan Ning saw it

, but he didn't understand it anymore. "Fake gold" is worth twenty coins, and five coins ...... Well, no, it's worth a hundred and five baht, which is a lot worse.

The Great Han Kingdom inherited the tradition of the pre-Qin period, and both gold and money were counted as currency. But that's what it says. Since gold is valued in units of weight, it is very inconvenient to weigh it for half a day to trade. In everyday life, no one usually uses gold as currency. Money is used for small transactions, and cloth is used for larger transactions. But as a beautiful and rare metal, gold is highly valued. In the early years, a pound of gold was worth about 20,000 yuan. In recent years (the Zhang family hoarded gold and silver, and gold appreciated rapidly), a pound of gold can be exchanged for 32,300 yuan.

This gold is 12 pieces for 100 yuan, and 32 pieces (1 catty) are exchanged for 3,200 dollars, which is ten times worse.

Guan Ning looked at Hua suspiciously, waiting for him to solve his puzzles - Zhang Han would not trade at a loss.

Hua Hey Hey Yile:

"Not bad! Value five...... You'an, look at this ...... again."

This time, what Hua took out was a bright, white and shiny big coin.

"Worth ten? It's ......"

"This is silver seven baht ......"

As the name suggests, the silver seven baht is a silver coin minted in silver, the same size and size, the silver coin exactly weighs seven baht, and the pattern behind it is a jade rabbit.

"Hmm!"

Guan Ning nodded, that's right. After a little calculation, Guan Ning understood. It must be that 1 gold twelve is equal to 5 seven baht, which is equal to 50 five baht, which is equal to 1000 five baht money. A pound of gold is worth 32,000, and a pound of silver is worth 11,000.

"Not bad! This gold twelve is nine gold and one bronze, and the silver seven baht is nine silver and one bronze, yesterday, I went to see the lord......"

Hua went to see Zhang Han yesterday, just in time for the gold and silver coins to be finalized and the first batch of coins was produced. This thing is unheard of, and when Hua saw it, he liked it very much.

Zhang Han had a large amount of gold and silver in his hands, and this time he minted brass coins, and easily minted a batch of money and silver coins. In ancient times, China was rich in gold and silver. According to historical records, the total amount of gold awarded by the Great Han Kingdom to meritorious heroes was as high as 870,000 catties, or 216 tons of gold. Zhang Han didn't have that much, but he swept away all the gold and silver accumulated by the Zhang family over the years, and there were also 64,327 catties of gold and more than 257,000 catties of silver - Zhang Han seriously underestimated the Zhang family's ability to accumulate wealth, and also underestimated his grandfather's preference for him.

Originally, Zhang Han just had such an idea, try it for the time being, and prepare in advance. No matter how good this money is, Hua will not ask for it. However, it happened that Zhang Han gave him a problem. Hua Tui had no choice but to extort a few gold and silver coins as a thank you gift to comfort his fragile soul a little.

Zhang Han asked Hua to be an iceman and proposed to the housekeeper for his eldest son Zhang Shen. Hua and Guan Ning are very good friends, and they also have a very good relationship with Zhang Han. Hua is the most suitable iceman. Therefore, although Hua is reluctant to be this iceman, he has nothing to shirk.

From the current point of view, this is naturally a good thing, that is, in the long run, this matter will not harm China. However, Guan Ning may not be willing to marry her daughter to Zhang Shen. Zhang Han is like the sun in the sky, chasing Gongsun in the north, but Yuan Shao in the south, the people's hearts are attached, refining pseudo-gold, and the majesty is unique for a while. Zhang Han also has great respect for Guan Ning, and the two can be said to be close friends. Married to Zhang Han, Guan Ning will not object, the problem lies with Zhang Shen.

Zhang Shen's identity is quite embarrassing, he is the eldest son, but not the son-in-law. And Zhang Shen's biological mother Liang Ruoruo has always been very favored by Zhang Han, and her status in the Zhang family is no less than Wang Yan. Although the Liang family is not a famous family, it seems to be very inconspicuous. But he has served as the chief steward of the Zhang family for several generations. Liang Ruoruo's father is the current housekeeper of the Zhang family; Liang Ruoruo's uncle runs the Zhang family's caravan; Liang Ruoruo's brothers are both in the army and in the military, and now they are all officials who are not big or small, and they hold real power.

All in all, the Liang family wants money and money, and they want connections and connections, and the potential power is not small, if Zhang Hanyi is eccentric, what will happen in the future, it is difficult to say......

Huaneng thought of this, and Guan Ning naturally thought of it. Even if Guan Ning can't think of it, Mr. Hua can't push other girls into the fire pit, people call "uncle" one by one, so I have to remind him...... However, then again, doesn't Zhang Shen also call him an "uncle"......

As long as Hua goes to talk about this, Guan Ning has no reason not to agree. However, the marriage is really going to be done, once there is a good thing in the future, how will Hua Ke go to see Guan Ning. Such a tricky matter, Hua Ying came down, and he was very embarrassed, but he couldn't shirk it. Could it be that Huaneng said to Zhang Han, your son is looking down on the housekeeper's daughter, but Guan Ning may not be willing to marry his daughter to your son...... Obviously, that's impossible! Hua Zai is an old friend, no matter how good Zhang Han's temper is, he has to be angry.

Hua couldn't say that, so he had to be this iceman reluctantly. Thinking about these things in his heart, Hua Gang said that he went to see Zhang Han yesterday and was planning to transition to the main topic. Guan Ning suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but interject and ask:

"Ziyu, when you come back this time, you will no longer serve as the Taishan Taishou, where will you go in the future, is there an explanation......

“……”

Khan, Hua Yi grinned, man, don't interrupt, don't make it......
