The court soon reached an agreement, and the resumption of the coinage rights to the central government was a foregone conclusion. Then Wang Jing issued an edict, and the holy decree quickly left the palace and then passed it out.

The entire court received official documents, which were then spread to the world under the transmission of envoys from all over the world.

The decision to reclaim the right to mint money was passed so quickly that the states and counties did not have time to react, and by the time they received the news, the decree had already arrived.

After learning that the imperial court wanted to take back the coinage right, the powerful, nobles, and officials in all parts of the state and county were boiling, and even many students went to the book one after another, shouting that they wanted to go to the court and not to take back the coinage right.

The imperial court had already anticipated this situation, so it had already sorted out and embellished the debate of the day, sent it to the school palace, and then asked the school palace to distribute it to the state and county school palaces.

After the students of the school palace in those states and counties saw this, most of them agreed with the resolution of the imperial court, but there were still some people who did not approve of it, and Wang Jing was not polite to these people, and directly ordered the school palaces of all states and counties to remove their names.

Wang Jing knows very well that the essence of these people is that some of them are the children of powerful and powerful officials in various places, and these people will basically stand on the position of their respective families, and the other part is a talented person who is supported by these powerful officials and big families.

In the last part, no matter what reason they oppose the imperial court, they take the subsidies given by the academy, learn all kinds of knowledge in the academy, and after the imperial court gives an explanation, they still oppose the imperial decrees, this kind of person Wang Jing does not want them to enter the imperial court as officials in the future.

Wang Jing didn't want to raise a group of white-eyed wolves.

The matter of the school palace did not cause any waves, but the nobles, heroes, and officials from all over the country would not give up this piece of fat easily.

Every reform is a redistribution of benefits. Every reform is difficult because vested interests do not give up their interests easily.

It's just that for this reform, Wang Jing is not worried about failure at all. With the current strength of the great cadres, even if the local nobles, heroes, and big officials rebel, Wang Jing can suppress them in the shortest possible time.

Even in order to prevent turmoil, Wang Jing had already mobilized his troops in advance, waiting for them to make a rebellion, and then packed up all these people in one fell swoop and sent them to the Western Regions to enrich the population.

"We mint money, so that the people have money, and now the court wants to take back the right to mint coins, and we are not allowed to mint privately, the court uses copper, we also use copper, the court's money is money, our money is not money?"

"When we are short of money, let us mint money, and if we are not short of money, we will be kicked away, how can there be such a reason in the world!"

A large number of nobles, heroes, and big officials are very dissatisfied, but the vast majority of people only dare to shout a few words, and they don't dare to do anything if they really dare to do anything.

But even so, the wave has caused some ripples. Of course, it seems like a huge storm, but in fact, not many people are really involved.

The delegation of coinage rights by the imperial court did not mean that anyone could mint money, in fact, only the top nobles, powerful and large officials in various states and counties were eligible.

Those ordinary heroes have no chance to participate in it at all.

Like this kind of business that is sure to make money without losing money, if you don't have enough strength to dare to participate in it? The others simply tore them apart.

Although these people look powerful, if they are compared with the country, they are hitting a stone with an egg.

After seeing that the public opinion set off was completely ignored by the imperial court, these people also understood that the imperial court was determined to take back the right to mint coinage.

After seeing this situation, these nobles, heroes, and local magnates did not dare to oppose directly, but began to prepare to secretly mint copper coins.

Since the imperial court does not allow the minting of real money, then the casting of fake money is secretly poked, anyway, they know the whole casting process, and even not only them, even many other powerful will, they are now waiting for the imperial court to release a new money, and then take it back to mint private money according to the new money.

The imperial court withdrew the right to mint coins, and the nobles and nobles in various places no longer minted coins on the surface, but they were already gearing up to mint privately.

As for the "Great Cadre Money Order" promulgated by the imperial court, they were all ignored by these people.

What is a crime, it is a crime to be caught.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is like the sun hanging high in the universe, there is still a shadow when the sun shines on the earth.

The battle between the court and the local government has just begun, and many people are waiting and watching, if the court controls the scene, these people will be honest, and if the court can't control the scene, these people will follow.

In this calm atmosphere on the surface, the new money of the imperial court was completed, and a large amount of new money began to be put into Luoyang, the divine capital, and several accompanying capitals.

The coins minted by Wang Jing are not much different from the previous coins in weight, using 60% copper, 30% 5 lead, and half into tin.

Sixty percent of the copper content is already very low, three percent of the lead makes the copper coin heavier, and tin is to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the copper coin.

The coins were beautifully minted, the text was legible, and the edges of the coins had a protruding rim to prevent anyone from cutting the edges.

In the past, some criminals would trim the coins. Now there is a rim profile that can be spotted at a glance once it has been trimmed.

At the same time, with the edges, it is more difficult for others to want to cast. Those merchants, Haoqiang, and families will also collect it at a discount, and it is not easy for the people to make money, and they have to be exploited by them. Now that new money is issued, Wang Jing naturally wants to prevent it.

The weight of the new money is heavier than that of the old money, and the amount of copper used is actually the same, but the proportion of lead is higher, and it is more pressing to put on the hand, and the people are more willing to accept it.

Wang Jing ordered someone to mint the word "Mandate of Heaven" on the coin, and the word "five baht" was written on the back, so the new money was called "five baht of the mandate of heaven".

After the 'Mandate of Heaven Five Baht' money was issued, the people of Luoyang City immediately relaxed when they saw this kind of coin, the new money was far more than the old money in terms of quality and weight, or exquisiteness, and the new money had a rim to prevent edge cutting.

The imperial court came forward to exchange the old money in the hands of the people at a ratio of one to one, of course, the old money cannot be bad money. The people exchanged their coins for the imperial court.

At the same time, the imperial court registered the people who came to exchange, and there was a limit to the coins that each person could exchange, in order to prevent those nobles and nobles from collecting new money on a large scale.

The new money was quickly accepted by the people, and Wang Jing was very happy, and the Shendu Luoyang issued the new money for three months, and there was no bad currency and no other people were found to melt the new money.

After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, all the nobles, heroes, and big officials have to be people with their tails between their legs, and once they make a mistake, when the iron fist of the court smashes down, they don't have to run.

But if there is no accident in Luoyang, it does not mean that there are no accidents in other places.

Wang Jing has sent a large number of embroidered envoys to all parts of the world, Jinling, Huiji, Huai'an, these three places, Wang Jing is not very worried, after all, these places were originally the basic plate of the great cadres.

It has been domesticated by the Great Cadres for hundreds of years, and the imperial court has supreme authority here. Thanks to the prestige of the Wang family in the Huaiguo era, the people here also trusted the court the most, and the local nobles, heroes, and big officials did not dare to disobey in the slightest.

There is also no need to worry about these places, the most prone to problems are Bashu, the land of Yanzhao in the north and the land of Qi.

Wang Jing has also been waiting for problems in these places before he can make a move. As the Son of Heaven, he abides by the rules, even if he wants to clean up these people, he must have conclusive evidence.

didn't let Wang Jing wait long, and soon news came that there was a lot of bad money in Linzi. Wang Jing did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the fourth prince Wang Ze to go to Qidi. and let him lead three thousand fine horsemen with him.

Wang Ze didn't stop all the way, and the army quickly came to Qidi. There is a convenient road, and it only took ten days for the army to come to Linzi.

After coming to Linzi, Wang Ze directly ordered people to take over the city defense, and at the same time took out the tiger talisman to let people take over the Linzi garrison. After controlling the city defense and garrison, Wang Ze entered the city.

All the way to Linzi Mansion, the Linzi Prefecture county guard and local officials stepped forward to salute, but Wang Zeli ignored it and directly sent someone to find the embroidered envoy.

Soon the embroiderer hurried over.

"Your Highness, these are the materials you want!" The embroidered envoy handed over the information collected during this time to Wang Ze.

In order to prevent private coinage and melt down coins, the imperial court sent a large number of embroidery envoys, and also encouraged the people to report it. These nobles and heroes can hide from the inspection of the imperial history and the embroidery envoys, but they definitely can't hide from the local people.

Therefore, the embroidery envoys easily got a lot of news from these people.

Wang Ze picked up these pieces of evidence and looked through them, just roughly turning them over, Wang Ze found that since the new money of the imperial court was decentralized, these Shandong nobles, heroes, and big officials used various means to collect these new money, and then melted these coins, and then mixed them with other coins to make bad money.

The people did not want to accept it, so they forced the people to accept it. And use the poor money minted to exchange the old money in the hands of the people.

Even local officials colluded with them, exchanging good money for bad money, and then forcibly exchanging old money in the hands of the people.

When Wang Ze saw this scene, his heart was full of anger.

These people not only minted their own bad money to force the people to accept it, but now they are actually doing it under the banner of the imperial court.

Wang Ze was already extremely angry in his heart, but he was silent on the surface. He said in a deep voice: "Immediately summon the officials of Linzi County to the mansion!" ”

Soon the big and small officials in Linzi City had already arrived, and seeing these officials arrive, Wang Ze didn't say a word, and directly ordered everyone to be locked up.

He directly cut through the mess with a quick knife, locked everyone up, and then directly sent an embroidered envoy to lead a large army to raid homes in various places.
