The lack of money among the people is inevitable, because Middle-earth has been short of copper since ancient times.

Copper is added to the coinage to ensure its value.

Money must have its own value, so that it is the basis for its circulation.

In this era, there is no such thing as credit currency, and it can be used as money by directly brushing paper, not because I don't want to, but because no one believes in its value.

The White Deer Coin made by Emperor Wu is essentially a credit currency, but he doesn't talk about credit and collapses.

It's not that I don't want to talk about credit, but I really can't afford to pay it back.

"The King."

Hearing Li Yunze's words, when everyone was still pondering, the master father Yan had already spoken very simply, "The minister has something to say." ”

"Hmm."

Li Yunze nodded, "Although it is blunt." ”

"Great King, private money is rampant everywhere today, and many places are even using Qin to do two, and pod money is everywhere. As for the three baht, the four baht fish mesh is mixed, and the good and bad are mixed. Five baht is good, but it can cost too much. Replace old money with new money, prohibit private minting, and collect minting

The right to return to the hands of the imperial court. ”

The master father talked eloquently, "If this is done, it will be of great benefit to fight for the throne for the king." ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Fen, who was still dissatisfied with the fact that the master father had stolen the limelight as soon as a newcomer came up, Zhang Ou's face suddenly changed.

Even Zhidu, who was invisible, Zhang Tang was slightly moved.

This kid dares to say the words of fighting for the big position so directly!

It's crazy, it's really from the Zongheng family.

Li Yunze smiled, naturally he would not discourage the enthusiasm of his subordinates at this time, "Don't mention the matter of the big position for the time being, the Son of Heaven is in full bloom, don't say that these are useless." Let's talk about how to innovate money. ”

Naturally, all those present here will be able to understand the meaning of these words.

The age of the Son of Heaven has not yet reached the time when he can't do it, and it is useless to talk about it now, so you can wait and talk about it for the time being.

The meaning of it is naturally understood by all those who understand it.

Shi Fen came from Chang'an City, and when he came to leave his majesty, he already understood what Liu Qi, the son of heaven, meant.

Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, did intend to spread the word that the King of Zhongshan was located, so he quietly shielded the King of Zhongshan from the wind and rain and enhanced his strength and fame.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that it has offended countless imperial relatives and relatives, and the imperial examination of meritorious nobles, if there is no shield from the Son of Heaven, how can it be done!

The rumors in Chang'an City about who will inherit the unification have long been flying all over the sky.

He also knew that Empress Dowager Dou intended to make Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the emperor's younger brother, and then wait for Liu Wu's death to pass the throne back to Liu Qi's son.

For Empress Dowager Dou's idea, Shi Fen scoffed, feeling that the old lady was not only blind but also blind.

If Liu Wu is really allowed to be the Son of Heaven, not only will the throne never return to the hands of Liu Qi's family, but Liu Qi's sons will inevitably be killed!

If Liu Qi's sons are unwilling to die, it will be another rebellion of the Seven Kings.

He has lived for such a long time, and he has long seen through human nature.

Liu Yu, the king of Jiaodong, has a lot of momentum here, but Shi Fen is not optimistic.

Because Liu Yu is too young, it will take at least ten years to really succeed, but who will give him more than ten years to grow?

Now it's already surging, can it still be surging for more than ten years?

Even if the body of the Son of Heaven can withstand the toss, this big man can't withstand the more than ten years of struggle for succession.

As for the current crown prince Liu Rong, when his biological mother Li Ji said 'old dog' to the Son of Heaven, everyone had already given it up.

In the modern world, watching TV dramas is that you can't survive more than two episodes.

Now it seems that this king already knows it.

"Whoa."

After many years of wandering here, the depressed master father Yan desperately wants to show his ability, "King, innovate the value of the currency, and mint new money." The old money is wasted, and all the new money is used. The new money should be in full and in sufficient amount, and the exchange of gold, silver, silk and silk should be re-balanced."

The master father said a lot, but it was not empty words, but he really came up with a plan that could do things.

Li Yunze, who listened carefully, nodded with satisfaction, "This is the person who has real skills and can do things." is not as courtiers as Dongfang Shuo and Ji Xiaolan, they are better than the pure lyricist Sima Xiangru. ’

After the master father finished speaking, Li Yunze slowly spoke, "What you said, there is a very important premise to do, otherwise it will be in the mirror." ”

Master Father's eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly, "Take back the coinage!" ”

Li Yunze nodded with a smile, and the two looked at each other like fish in water

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, money was very chaotic.

The Qin half tael of the former Qin was the main currency because of the good quality.

Later, when Liu Bang was short of money, he minted three baht coins, which was purely garbage made for plunder.

When Empress Lu innovated the value of the currency, she made a batch of good money, but unfortunately after the entire Lu clan was slaughtered, it was immediately abolished.

Before the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the reason why Liu Bi, the king of Wu, made the world look sideways, largely because the largest copper mine in the Han Dynasty was in his feudal state.

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, minted private money on a large scale, and expanded his strength on a large scale, so that the second emperor of Wenjing could not sleep at night.

Li Yunze was very satisfied with the performance of the master father, "Qing wrote a letter on this matter, and the theme must be pointed out that it is to take back the casting right, and then ask the Son of Heaven for the casting right to this king." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Shi Fen, who was in the upper position on the left, "I am tired of Taifu going to Chang'an City in person, and I must do this thing." ”

Shi Fen smiled bitterly in his heart.

This king is really resolute, and he said that the arrangement was a direct order, which really deserved to be valued by the Son of Heaven

He turned sideways and saluted Li Yunze, "Oh~~~"

Shi Fen sat in the carriage and swayed to Chang'an City.

Here in Zhongshan Kingdom, Li Yunze will naturally not be idle.

Zhang Tang and Zhidu were both dispatched, Zhang Tang was responsible for checking the officials, and Zhidu was even more ruthless and directly swept away the powerful people in various places.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the heroes had not yet had time to make a career, and as for the gate valve, there was not even a shadow.

Many of the so-called Haoqiang are just rampant in the countryside.

But even so, Zhidu is ruthless.

With soldiers and horses to visit county by county, all the big households with a bad reputation were directly cleaned up.

Even if he had a good reputation, he followed the advice of his master father Yan and moved his entire family to and outside the city of Lunu.

In addition, Zhidu also undertakes an important job, that is, the rangers around the waves.

To put it bluntly, the so-called ranger is the Black Society, and the floating waves are street slickers, so it is simple and clear.

As a representative figure of the cool officials, when Zhidu did it, he really didn't show the slightest mercy, and it was directly the soldiers and horses in the country who drove over to besiege and kill.

It doesn't matter how famous you are, whether you know Ju Meng or not, it's all Yi Gute.

When Zhidu led thousands of soldiers and horses to the eight counties of Zhongshan Country, the public security situation in the entire Zhongshan Country was surprisingly good, and it really reached the level where no one dared to commit crimes.

Those who dared to commit crimes were killed, and the rest of the people were also frightened, because they really dared to kill.

Here, Li Yunze and the main father are busy minting new money.

Although there is no news from the Son of Heaven, the master father concluded that the Son of Heaven would not refuse, because the Son of Heaven did not refuse the imperial examination, which is already a clear attitude.

"The King."

In the manor outside the city, the master father Yan watched the many craftsmen busy working around the many tools and stoves, and said, "It is not difficult to mint new money, otherwise there will be no flood of private money." The real challenge is how to prevent people from profiting from it. ”

"You mean, the copper content is too high, and someone will collect copper coins and melt them to make copper utensils. The copper content is too low, and the value is not high, which hinders circulation? ”

"King Shengming."

The Lord Father saluted respectfully" Exactly. ”

In ancient times, the value of money varied, and prices varied from place to place, so the value of coins fluctuated greatly.

Li Yunze, who was standing with his hands behind his back, looked at his master and asked, "Do you have a solution?" ”

"The King."

The master father Yan with a confident face responded, "The copper content must not be high, and if it is high, someone will definitely raise money." The minister thinks that the copper content should be no more than four to become better. Furthermore, when the Son of Heaven is invited to issue an edict, and then there are those who mint private money, they are all plotting against each other! ”

Li Yunze smiled: "Didn't you already write it in the song?" ”

"The minister also wrote that the king's money is minted for the Han, but it should not be used as private money."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go."

Li Yunze smiled and gestured, "Look at the new coinage method of this king's alley." ”

In ancient times, the most important thing was to cast money, and with money, there was basically only copying.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zifan was invented, which can be divided into earth fan, stone fan, copper fan, etc.

Later, it became popular to be the mother model, which innovated the technology and made it more advanced.

Its coinage method is based on Yin Wen Zifan coinage, and Yang Wen Mu Fan coinage.

However, when it comes to the real innovation of coinage, it is still the mother money that turns the sand to cast money.

Its technological process is ivory money, bronze carving ancestral money, the first casting mother money, the printing model mother money, and the sample money.

The sample money is the mother money turned sand to cast sample money, and the sample money is used to cast money on a large scale.

The coins minted by this method are neat and exquisite, the money is deep and steep between the inscription and the seal, there is no superficial image, there is no trachoma on both sides, and if there is a trachoma, it is directly destroyed.

If there is a trachoma outside, or the text is dull and distorted and ugly, it must be counterfeit money.

Reaching out and picking up a beautiful new coin that was newly minted, Li Yunze played with it for a while and threw it to the master father.

He then walked to the large room next to him, where a waterwheel was erected.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a room, but in fact, it is more appropriate to say that it is a simple factory.

This place is a hydraulic stamping machine created by Li Yunze to improve science and technology.

Because of the lack of hydraulics, it was too difficult to stamping armor or something.

But this is not for military work, but for stamping and minting gold coins!

Copper coins can be used as a small amount of money, and they are also the most widely used currency.

But when it comes to large transactions, it's always hard to be a lot of copper coins for a car.

Therefore, Li Yunze directly withdrew gold coins and used them as a large amount of currency.

The reason why silver is not used is because there is a shortage of silver in Middle-earth, and at this time there is more gold.

The master who came over picked up a smooth gold coin and looked at it, and after a while, he said to Li Yunze, "King, when the fast horse sends the sample money to Wan Shijun's hands, it will be dedicated to the case of the Son of Heaven." ”

Li Yunze nodded, "Yes." ”
