Great Wei Nengchen

Don't feel sad when you are in danger, there is always a reason for the future,

I finally heard that Haiyue returned to the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and did not save the universe and fell into auspicious people,

When did morality die?

But teach that there is no evil in an inch, and you can stand among tigers and wolves!

"Shocking, speechless"... After reading the picture scroll, the two brothers and sisters lamented, but they still lamented. They didn't want to admit it, but they had to admit that there wasn't even an inch of land in the Han Dynasty in the world, and it was all divided up by these tigers and wolves up!

"However, there is no evil in the teaching area, and you can stand among the tigers and wolves?... Xiao Yi is advising His Majesty to be pure-hearted and ascetic, so as to save your life in a dangerous situation full of dangers!" Princess Haiyan let out a long sigh. Lonely and unwilling!

"Sister Huang, can't it be possible for me to make a wooden sculpture and clay sculpture, and worship it high, without saying a word!" Liu Xie's face was uncertain, and he also admitted that what Xiao Yi said was very reasonable, but the strong sense of mission of the royal family, Let him be unwilling to be a puppet emperor!

"Temporarily save your life, let's take it slowly, we don't have the power to subdue these beasts now, we can only wait and endure!"

"How to endure? How long do we have to wait?"

"When the beasts kill each other and the blood runs out, when the little baby grows up and becomes a warrior who can fight the beasts, our chance will come!" Princess Haiyan slapped Jiaolong, "It's a pity that the hands Missing a dragon-slaying sword!"

"Okay, I will listen to the emperor's orders. I will endure it. Ten years..., 20 years, there will always be a time to draw the sword and kill the dragon!" Liu Xie bit his lip tightly and made an oath!

From this day onwards, a bluestone sundial appeared outside the side hall of the imperial palace. No matter how bad the weather was, Liu Xie would come to watch it. How many times he could turn, and how many times Cao Cao could turn it, who would see it? Who survived?

…………………………………………………………………………

It is one of the traditional etiquettes in China for the bride to return home in three days, also known as "Guining", to show that she will not forget the kindness of her parents' upbringing!

Cao Xian set aside the royal concubine's ceremonial guard, and went all the way back to the prime minister's mansion with great glory. First, he expressed that he was very favored by the emperor, and at the same time, he also won face for the prime minister's mansion, so as to ease the conflict between the two parties!

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress, all the blessings and peace!" In front of the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Mrs. Ding was the head, and the concubines lined up, bowing and saluting, with a very respectful attitude!

"Mother, why do you need to be so polite, aunts and girls are also spared!" Looking at the crowd, Cao Xian felt a strange feeling. Before family members met, their hearts were full of intimacy, but now it is different. There is a point of defense!

"My lord father is there, let me go and pay a visit!" Cao Xian glanced, and the welcoming crowd included Madam Ding and other concubines in the mansion, not a single male appeared, which made her even more uneasy!

"Well~~" The concubines looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Finally, Mrs. Ding took a step forward, "The Prime Minister is dealing with important matters, and he has already issued an order that outsiders must not disturb him!"

Mrs. Ding said it very politely, but the word 'outsider' told Cao Xian unmistakably that you are already the daughter-in-law of the Han family, and no longer the daughter of the Cao family. There is a big difference between inside and outside!

"I have something to ask to see my lord father, no one can stop me!" Cao Xian was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, waved his long sleeves, and walked straight to the inner house!

The gate, the front yard, the main hall, the back hall... Cao Xian walked all the way, as if entering the land of no one, and no one dared to step forward to stop her. No matter what, she is the prime minister's own daughter, and she must not be offended. In the corridor of the back house, a black shadow flashed, and the road was finally blocked!

The one blocking the way was a black-haired Ao dog, five feet long, with a head as big as a bucket, thick limbs, roaring like thunder, and two fangs protruding from its lips. It looked like a beast. It was Cao Cao's pet dog~~'Wang God roar! '

A few years later, the puppy has turned into a giant mastiff. On its back sits a five or six-year-old doll, carved in pink and jade, very cute. It is the younger brother of the Cao family ~ Cao Xiong!

'Wangtianhou' was raised by Cao Cao himself. He has a fierce personality and is loyal. In the prime minister's mansion, no one but Cao Cao can order it. Even the brothers Cao Pi have been bitten, except for the little Cao Xiong. The dog is very speculative, and only he can sit on the dog's back and play!

"Sister Sister is back, Little Bear misses you so much!" A child has no intentions. Seeing his sister come back, Cao Xiong hurriedly cupped his fists on the dog's back to salute, imitating the general's demeanor, and he didn't forget to touch his nose. Who are you studying?

"Good boy, where is Father?" While speaking, Cao Xian took out a pack of pastries from his bosom and bribed his younger brother!

"Father is discussing in the study, and there are Mr. Feng Xiao, Mr. Zhong De, a few uncles..., by the way, there is also my future brother-in-law!" Se, I can't speak clearly...

"Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan... the future brother-in-law is Xiao Yi!" Cao Xian's heart immediately rose when he heard a few names. These are his father's confidants and clan brothers. They gathered together Discuss something together, could it be ~~~ Abolition?

With Cao Cao's prestige and strength, coupled with the full support of several important ministers, it is not difficult to "depose the emperor and establish a new emperor". If this is really the case, his imperial concubine will be able to do it... Thinking of this, Cao Xian broke out in a cold sweat!

"Mr. Wen Ruo and Mr. Gongda are also here..." After swallowing the pastry with great difficulty, two more names popped out of Xiao Caoxiong's mouth!

"Xun Yu and Xun You are here?" Hearing these two names, Cao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. The uncles and nephews of the Xun family are upright and loyal to the emperor. With them, the emperor will be in no danger~~

As soon as the crisis was over, curiosity was revived. My father gathered so many important ministers together to discuss some important national affairs. Could it be that he would send troops to see the battle again?

642. Chapter 642 Money shortage is coming

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the secret room, an important meeting related to the rise and fall of the country is being held. Present at the meeting are Prime Minister Cao Cao, Governor Xiao Yi, Military Advisor Jijiu Guo Jia, Military Advisor Zhonglang General Cheng Yu, Shang Shuling Xun Yu, Yushi Zhongcheng Xun You, clan generals Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong... In addition, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi brothers attended the audience. This lineup is extremely luxurious, and they are all important court officials who hold real power. To put it bluntly, if they Working together, it is enough to dethrone an emperor!

It was said that it was a meeting, but everyone didn't say a word, and their eyes were all fixed on the table. There were more than a dozen copper coins scattered there, of different sizes, old and new, some shiny new, some rusty, and some missing. There are few corners on the sides, but one thing is the same, they are all 'five baht coins! '

The reason why the Caoying Group held a high-level meeting this time is also very simple. The treasury is out of money... The army has been fighting for years, which cost a lot. It has collapsed, and it is very difficult to raise military salaries. Once there is a shortage, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos!

The importance of money is understood by those in power. If the government is a person, the military is the body, politics is the soul, and money is the blood. Once the blood is dry and the nutrition is insufficient, the body will slowly die and the soul will disappear. up!

"The national treasury is empty, the money and food are exhausted, the foreign enemies are staring at them, and the soldiers dare not take off their armor for a day. In the midst of internal and external troubles, do you have any good strategies? Please advise me?" It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is at stake!

"Continuous wars have made the people exhausted. If we want to raise taxes again, I am afraid that the people will revolt!" Guo Jia, Cao Ying's number one counselor, has always been known for his "unconstrained power and unconstrained plan, ever-changing plans". He also sighed and shook at this time. Head, but one thing is clear, the people have reached the limit of what they can bear, and the way to continue to collect taxes will not work!

"It's a matter of course for soldiers to eat food. Soldiers fight bloody battles for the sake of glory and wealth. If there is a shortage of money and food supplies, the soldiers' morale may be in turmoil!" Xiao Yi is a representative of the military, so he naturally wants to speak for hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Yes, the truth is very clear... Without money, you can't fight a war!

Guo Jia, Xiao Yi, one literary and one military, the prime minister's right-hand men, are all resourceful figures, but they have no choice in front of 'Brother Kong Fang', and the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became tense!

But after thinking about it for a while, everyone was relieved, no one is perfect, Guo Jia's strength is planning military strategies, Xiao Yi's ability is fighting on the battlefield, as for collecting taxes and mobilizing money and food, they are really not their forte!

To use a metaphor, a tiger is the king of all beasts. With a roar, it can overwhelm all directions. It must be invincible in killing and hunting, but if a tiger is put on a plow to plow the land, it may not be as good as an old scalper. This is called art. There is a specialization in the industry!

The genius of the world and the ghost-faced Xiao Lang were all dead, and everyone turned their eyes to Shang Shuling Xun Yu, who was the chief steward of the Caoying Group. He had been dealing with military supplies and was proficient in financial management. If you want to resolve the crisis, you have to look at him!

Xun Yu is only 33 years old, just in the prime of his life, but his expression is exhausted, his eyes are vicissitudes, and there are even some gray hairs appearing between his temples. He looks like a 50-year-old old man. He has really worked hard to pay taxes and food!

"The national treasury is empty and the money and food are insufficient. One is that the wars have been going on for years and the consumption is astonishing. The other is that the coins are chaotic and the quantity is in short supply. The third is that some people speculate and profit from it. The harm of the latter two is far greater than that of the former!" Most of them are good at military strategy and short at internal affairs. Xun Yu first started with the ins and outs of currency, and taught everyone a literacy lesson!

"In ancient times, the folk customs were simple, people bartered things, and there was no fraud. Later, the number of goods increased. In order to facilitate transactions, they began to use 'tooth shells' as currency for exchange. During the Zhou Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, there appeared copper-cast tooth shells, which is the source of copper coins!

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the feudal lords competed for hegemony, and all countries minted their own copper coins, the sword coins of the Qi State, the Yongquan coins of the Jin State, the grimace coins of the Chu State..., and the cloth coins used by the common people. Dao, the transaction is extremely inconvenient!

When the first emperor swept the six countries, in order to pursue a unified pattern of the world, he unified the writing, unified the degree, quantity, and measure, and also unified the currency, abolished all the original messy currencies, and used the currency of the Qin State. Copper coins with an outer circle and an inner square are called "half taels" in the world! '

Qin and Han were integrated. While inheriting the political system of the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty also inherited the currency style of Qin, but changed the heavy "half two coins" into several currencies of three baht and four baht!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a generation of heroes, ruled by culture and martial arts, carried out standard reforms on domestic currency, and unified the casting of five-bead coins, and it has continued for hundreds of years!

While talking, Xun Yu picked up a rusty copper coin from the table case. It was round on the outside and square on the inside.

The baht is a unit of weight, and one baht is 24/[-]th of one tael. Five baht coins are suitable for weight and easy to carry, and have always been welcomed by the people.

The reason why the Chinese people use copper coins is that there is another last resort. The five essences of mountains and rivers...gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, among which gold is the most precious, followed by silver. These two metals are beautiful in appearance, easy to preserve, and immortal for thousands of years. , is the best choice for minting currency, Chinese people have always been smart, why put gold and silver instead of copper, the reason is very simple~~ There is no gold or silver!

China has a vast land and rich resources, but it lacks two precious metals, gold and silver. Occasionally, some veins are found, which are rare and difficult to collect. The annual output can barely make a little jewelry for the nobles, which is not enough for currency circulation. There is a tradition of thick burials, and they like to bring precious things underground. As a result, the gold and silver that was mined with great difficulty returned to the ground again, and there are very few that can circulate in the world!

In desperation, copper was used as currency, and copper was given a nice name-'dollar'. As for iron, it was mostly used to make weapons and killed too much, and it also had a name-'evil gold! '

According to the decree of the Han Dynasty, five baht coins were cast, eight cents of copper and two cents of tin. The bronze coins cast in this way are beautiful, wear-resistant and long-lasting!

However, a loophole has emerged. Among metals, copper is expensive and tin is cheap. Many criminals, in order to make profits, melted the copper coins issued by the state, changed the ratio, and recast them. The darker ones are copper four tin six, or even copper three tin seven. The quality of such currency is extremely poor, crisp and easy to break, and the wear is even more serious. It will be destroyed in a short time!

While speaking, Xun Yu pulled out the sword at his waist, found two copper coins, and cut them separately. The copper coins that were originally the same in appearance could be seen immediately. The color, the other fracture is uneven, the inside is all white-gray, and there are many impurities!
