Han Chang'an is different from Tang Chang'an.

Tang Chang'an is a military city, and hundreds of thousands of people live in it.

Han Chang'an, on the other hand, is a palace city.

Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Mingguang Palace, Guigong Palace, North Palace and other palace groups occupy most of the area.

Then there are the warehouses of government offices such as the arsenal, the markets such as the East Market and the West Market, and the residences of the relatives of the Emperor, such as Qili.

The real ordinary people basically live outside the city, especially near the imperial tomb.

Outside the city was very lively, with a constant stream of caravans coming and going, and people and soldiers everywhere.

In Chang'an City, it is quiet and depressed, and the walking is urgent.

The Weiyang Palace, where the Son of Heaven lives, is also quiet.

Since the last time he fainted, the physical condition of the Son of Heaven has deteriorated, and most of the time is spent recuperating and recuperating.

Empress Dowager Dou even personally ordered to prohibit disturbing the Son of Heaven, especially not allowing Li Ji to approach.

Well, if nothing else, Li Ji and the crown prince Liu Rong will be unlucky.

The first to be unlucky than them was Quzhou Hou Liji.

Li Ji is also a person who left a name in history, but what he left was infamy.

There is an idiom related to him, which is called selling friends for glory.

That's right, the villain who betrayed his friend was Liji.

And he betrayed Lu Lu, the head of the family after the death of Empress Lu.

Li Ji deceived his friend and asked him to give up his military power to have fun with him. Lu Lu, a sand sculpture, believed in his friend, handed over his military power and left the barracks.

As soon as the front foot left, Zhou Bo entered the military camp and seized the military power and slaughtered the Lu family.

Selling friends for glory, what he is talking about is Li sending.

The reason why Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, wanted to deal with him was naturally because when it was agreed that the prince was guilty of the merits in Dingxiang County, this sand sculpture that had no eyes to see expressed his hostility towards the prince Sheng.

There is no need for any other reason, this is enough.

Of course, excuses are still needed.

When Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was looking for an excuse, Li Ji took the initiative to send it to the door himself.

Because he played to the Son of Heaven and said that he wanted to marry Zang'er as his wife.

That's right, this Zang Er is the mother of Wang Huantian Wei and other brothers and sisters, and the granddaughter of Wang Yan and Wang Zangdi, who used to be surnamed Wang Yan in the Han Dynasty.

Li Ji is a prince of the Han Dynasty, and there will naturally be no shortage of beauties around him.

But he wants to marry an old woman with no small grandchildren, of course, it can't be for beauty, let alone true love.

The reason for this is, of course, that the lice on the bald man's head are as obvious as lice.

Everyone knows that Li Ji took refuge in the alliance between the Wang Wan sisters and Princess Guantao, that is, Liu Yu, the king of Jiaodong.

Originally, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, wanted to find trouble with Liji, but he himself was good and took the initiative to jump out and send a wave.

These princes who had led troops and served as generals took the initiative to take refuge in one side of the forces to compete for the crown prince, which made Liu Qi very angry.

'Lao Tzu is not dead yet, you have started to form gangs and factions to make moves, and you are still a prince with military power, this is looking down on the Han Emperor? ’

The Son of Heaven is angry, and the consequences are naturally serious.

The unlucky Li Ji wanted to show favor to the Wang Wan sisters and Princess Guantao, but he never thought that he had offended the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention that he was directly abolished by the Marquis of Quzhou, he was also imprisoned in the Tingwei prison, and I don't know if I can get out alive.

As for the Wang Wan sisters, they were called to go through a long reprimand, and they cried for a long time before they could barely pass the test by relying on Liu Yu.

Princess Guantao has no choice on her side, with the protection of the Empress Dowager Dou, even if it is the Son of Heaven, she is helpless.

Later dynasties have learned the lessons of the relatives of the Han Dynasty, and since then the restrictions on the power of the rear have been extremely severe, but there are too many women who are unwilling to be lonely, there are Wu Zetian called the emperor in the past, and Liu E Chongru was praised as a virtuous queen by the rotten Confucians, and then there was Yehenala who betrayed the country, but

It is said that there is an endless stream of former servants and successors.

As for the later generations, there are countless kneeling and licking black dogs and white pigs.

This also said that she was a fairy, and everyone had to let it

Turning back from speaking, Liu Qi, the son of heaven who was in cultivation, received Shi Fen, who came back from Zhongshan Kingdom.

"Scrap private money, mint coins, and make new money."

Liu Qi, who was sitting, looked at the note spread out on the desk, and smiled, "Who wrote this note, it is clear and neatly written, not bad." ”

Shi Fen nodded and bowed, "It was written by the master father of the Imperial Doctor of Zhongshan Kingdom, and he is also the first in this imperial examination." ”

"Sure enough, there is real talent and real learning, compared to those wastes recommended by the shadow."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi paused and did not continue.

He has seen the benefits of the imperial examination, and he is really able to select talents.

It's a pity that the opposition is too great, even if he is temporarily helpless, after all, even the Son of Heaven cannot offend all the imperial relatives and the Xungui group.

Shi Fen pretended not to hear anything, got up and took out a wooden box, stepped forward and handed it to the attendant who came over.

The wooden box was opened and inspected, and inside were two coins lined with silk pads.

Looking at the wooden box placed on the table in front of him, Liu Qi first reached out and picked up the brilliant gold coin.

The gold coin is beautifully crafted, with a profile portrait wearing a crown on the obverse.

Shi Fen over there explained in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, this face is a profile portrait of Your Majesty. The king said that the gold coin is the honor of all money, and only the honor of the Son of Heaven can be printed on it. ”

"Hehe~~~"

Liu Qi smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and then turned over the gold coin.

In the center of the reverse of the coin is a large Chinese character with a line of small characters on each side from top to bottom.

One line is called 'Emperor Lu Slavery in the Sixth Year of the Emperor'.

The other line said, 'A currency is worth a gold as ten thousand dollars'.

In the Western Han Dynasty, one catty was used as a gold to replace the eridium of the Qin Dynasty.

The Han system is one catty and sixteen taels, and Li Yunze controls the weight of one catty at 250 grams, which is half a catty in the modern world.

The half-pound gold coin is really quite heavy, but it is not as big as imagined, after all, the density of gold is large and the volume is smaller.

On the edge of the coin, there is also an epoch-making feat that is the jagged side teeth.

Shi Fen continued to explain, "The king said that this is called a side tooth, which is used to prevent it from being cut off or deliberately sharpened. ”

This is gold, and if it is cut off or polished, it will be earned immediately.

In order to avoid this situation, the appearance of side teeth becomes inevitable.

Liu Qi touched his teeth, and looked at it carefully, "How can it be so regular?" ”

"This."

Liu Qi's question can be regarded as asking Shi Fen's knowledge blind spot, but he really doesn't know.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not embarrass him, and after rubbing the gold coins for a while, he put them away, apparently as a souvenir.

Then he reached out and picked up the copper coin in the wooden box.

The exterior is very exquisite, and the color has a pale yellow characteristic of copper.

As for the feel, it is very smooth to the touch, and compared with many coins currently in circulation, it looks high-end and atmospheric at a glance.

Liu Qi shook it, looked up and asked, "Five baht?" ”

In the Han system, the weight of 100 millet is one baht.

In other words, the weight of 100 grains of millet is counted as one baht.

The baht is a unit of weight.

Roughly converted, it is equivalent to more than three grams in the modern world.

Five baht, that's sixteen grams.

"Yes."

Shi Fen replied respectfully, "Son of Heaven, this is five baht money." Copper four lead five, and something else was added, and the old minister was ignorant, and he didn't know what was added. ”

What is added to this is the industrial products brought by Li Yunze from the modern world, which can effectively enhance the gloss of metal.

In addition, the polishing method is used to remove subtle defects and oxides on the surface, effectively improving the luster and smooth feel of copper coins.

"That's good."

Liu Qi looked at the copper coin in his hand over and over again, this quality was absolutely unprecedented.

The Son of Heaven at the beginning of the Han Dynasty was not a sand sculpture of 'why not eat minced meat'.

They have a deep understanding of folk affairs, and even often go out of the palace to visit and understand the folk situation.

For example, Liu Qi, when he was the prince, often mixed in the streets of Chang'an, and was a famous chess saint in Chang'an City.

Well, he was ridiculed for losing a game of chess, and directly used the chessboard to kill the prince of Wu King Liu Bi.

Many emperors in later generations grew up in the hands of women in the deep palace, and many of them have never even left the palace in their lives, so of course they will not know what the people are like.

Only then did the people rise up, and the emperor in the deep palace thought that the country and the people were safe.

"This kind of quality."

Liu Qi asked curiously, "The cost is quite large, right?" ”

This asked Shi Fen's knowledge blind spot again, how did he know that Li Yunze used many advanced technologies, and the cost did not increase much at all, so he could only be submissive, "Probably." ”

After playing for a while, Liu Qi also put away the copper coin, and then said to Shi Fen, "I am naturally willing to do this, but there will be opposition in the court." ”

This Shi Fen knows very well, those who have the courage to make private money here in Dahan are either nobles or relatives of the emperor, and they do this without a background, that is, lighting lanterns in the toilet.

He thought for a while and said, "The minister can find three or five confidants and colleagues, discuss the pros and cons, and make an appointment to promote this matter together at the court meeting." ”

"Good."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction, "If it is successful at this time, then it will be handed over to Zhongshan Guo." The required copper, lead and other materials can be allocated by the Shaofu. ”

Shi Fen's heart shook slightly, and such real national events as coinage could be put into the hands of King Zhongshan, which shows that His Majesty has really made up his mind.

The King of Zhongshan is already in the heart of the emperor, and it is very likely that he will live in Weiyang Palace in the future.

Shi Fen himself is at this age, and he can even be said to have half of his body in the ground, so naturally he has nothing to ask for.

But he had sons and grandsons.

For the sake of future generations, it must be to hug the golden thigh of King Zhongshan tightly, so that the wealth of the Shi family can be passed on forever.

When Shi Fen was about to leave, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, stopped him.

"Wait a minute."

Liu Qi said slowly, "I ordered the Shaofu to choose the queen for the king of Zhongshan, and the candidates have already arrived in Chang'an City. ”

"When you go back this time, you will bring all these women and let the prince choose by himself."

Shi Fen was amazed.

Not through the Queen Mother, not through the Queen but by the King of Zhongshan himself, this.

In an instant, many thoughts passed through Shi Fen's mind.

This is definitely a grace, even if the crown prince chooses the crown princess, there is no such treatment.

Your Majesty, is this gradually beginning to determine the status of the King of Zhongshan to the world?

If so, then the crown prince Liu Rong is probably worse.

Shi Fen, who turned a thousand times in his heart, saluted respectfully, "喏~~~"
