What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

To use new coins, you need an opportunity. It doesn't mean that you can take out things with a slap in the face inside and outside the court, and then let the common people use them.

Even if this is Daqin.

In the subsequent dynasties, if you want to change the currency, you must be acceptable to the people.

For example, some dynasties wanted to replace the treasure banknotes, but the value of the treasure banknotes was nothing more than a pile of waste paper in the eyes of the people, so they were not able to promote the opening of the treasure banknotes from the beginning to the end.

It is okay to use the treasure banknotes when rewarding officials in the court, but very few people use them among the people.

It is much easier to replace the new currency at this time than at that time.

Because first, the Qin law is very strict, almost stipulating every aspect of life. After decades or even a hundred years of hard work, most of the people here are used to obeying the orders of the government and the court.

Second, what Chen Ke wants to promote now is not so-called banknotes, but precious metals of real value.

Copper coins, silver coins.

Both copper and silver have already appeared in this era, and copper coins have been used for many years, and the public can clearly understand the value of these things.

Zhangtai Palace

Footsteps sounded not far away, and a figure slowly walked over.

This is really a surprising thing.

Chen Ke didn't hesitate at all: "Your Majesty, I want to borrow some people from the Black Ice Terrace to spread some news on my behalf."

The corner of Chen Ke's mouth could not help but smile, very happy: "Yes, after the implementation of the new currency, the restrictions on merchants will be gradually relaxed, and the more merchants do business, the more taxes the country will collect. "

There was a little longing in his expression: "Although I have been granted by the imperial court to station me in Qinnu Island, and specially bestowed on me as a general in the middle, but this official position does not belong to me, but to the people stationed in Qinnu Island. "

Complicated things came to Xianyang City together with the spring wind, and the disturbing things in the world made people feel a little headache.

"Now I'm leaving Qinnu Island and returning to Daqin, so my official position will naturally be resigned."

The Daqin soldiers standing on the boat looked at the seemingly endless ocean in the distance, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know when will I be able to return to my hometown?"

Later, he was appreciated by Dr. Xiao He of Baijiagong, and recommended to the imperial court. He also seized the opportunity of the imperial court's need for someone to station in Qinnu Island, and obtained a conferment.

"According to the distance shown on the sea chart and the experience of going back and forth before, we will be able to see the land of Daqin in half a month."

Now that he is about to return to Daqin, according to the rules, he will naturally be rewarded for his meritorious service.

After receiving the letter, Yang Tianyi was stunned for a moment.

These three copper coins are branded with ears of wheat and rice fields.

Now it's just a simple change of the position of the two words, and there has been such a big change.

Kuaiji County

Yang Tianyi was still dealing with official affairs. The official affairs that he had been intercepted when he didn't let go were all sent to him now. He wanted to take advantage of this time to deal with some government affairs quickly.

Unless there is something important, either something that Chen Ke can't handle, or something that needs to be decided by himself, no matter which one, he has to meet Chen Ke.

"If something is worth a thousand dollars, it used to be so heavy that a cow could pull it, but now it only needs a ten-denomination silver coin to complete the transaction."

"Your master who hides his head and shows his tail is finally willing to appear?"

After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps. He immediately raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at his colleagues in the distance. Yang Tianyi also closed the document in front of him without a trace.

Chen Ke reached out to pick up a coin and observed it carefully.

"Let me also show you your skills."

He sighed and said, "The matter of Kuaiji County, the matter of the new currency, the matter of the construction of Xianyang City, and the matter of Baiyue, why do things pile up more and more."

Otherwise, the government affairs will gradually pile up, and the unlucky one will definitely be himself in the end.

Ying Zheng glanced at Chen Ke and said, "I order you to fully cooperate with Chen Ke and make no mistakes."

Dunruo walked out of the shadows, with a respectful and indifferent expression: "The minister is here."

Chen Ping took a breath silently, and then said carefully, "If the lower officials guessed correctly, the copper coins are currently used by the heads of Guizhou, and the use of silver coins will have to wait at least four or five years later."

Chen Ke was excited for a rare moment: "No, I can't delay any longer."

Zhou Bo had been stationed in Qinnu Island for two years, and now he suddenly returned to Daqin, but he felt very little discomfort in his heart, and some of it was just nostalgia.

Chen Ke waved his hand: "Don't always say flattering words, but the mother coin of the sample coin has been forged? After forging, give me a few of them. I'm going to meet His Majesty."

The one silver coin, five silver coin, and ten silver coin are different from the copper coin, with mountains and rivers on the front and numbers on the back.

It contained more silver ore.

The silver on Qinnu Island is continuously transported to Xianyang City of Daqin, which is why Daqin dares to issue new coins now, so that they will not be hoarded by some people with ulterior motives.

Zhou Bo's expression was a little gentle: "Shengzhi, Daqin is a vast land, dozens of times larger than the Qinnu Island you saw."

"Like gold coins, isn't it good to slowly forge them and issue them?"

Zhou Bo looked into the distance, but he unconsciously thought of the beginning.

"It's necessary to cut the mess quickly and deal with things a little bit."

With his background from Baijia Palace and his contribution to stationing in Qinnu Island this time, he might be able to confer a seventh-rank official position.

Manufacturing Department
Chen Ke stood in the manufacturing department, sitting in front of Chen Ping, with a peaceful expression: "How is the new coin minted?"

Among them, the one silver coin is imprinted with Dajiang, the five silver coins are imprinted with the majestic and towering Mount Tai, and the ten silver coins are imprinted with the solemn and simple Xianyang Palace, above which there is a great sun rising from the east.

"Father, what does Da Qin look like?"

The nine coins shone in the light, looking very beautiful.

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "In the early stage, there is no need to forge so many silver coins. Except for the nobles and wealthy businessmen, the rest of the people will generally use silver coins for a long time."

He didn't ask other questions redundantly, such as how Chen Ke wanted to promote coins, but only asked what Chen Ke needed, which gave Chen Ke enough freedom.

Xianyang City, which has been silent for a long time, suddenly became lively these few days for some reason.

After consulting His Majesty the First Emperor, the Manufacturing Department made changes to some patterns on the coins.

At the beginning, he participated in the anthology competition with full of ambition, but it was a pity that he didn't come out on top, so he could only regretfully go to Baijia Palace to study and wait for the opportunity.

Why is the text on the letter in front of me so familiar?Thinking of what he had inferred before, Yang Tianyi's hand trembled subconsciously, and the paper fell on the table.

Looking at Yu Shuguang's expression, Yang Tianyi became more curious.

"how?"

Chen Ke picked it up and put it to his mouth, just like the most simple Qianshou, he put the coin to his mouth and blew it slightly, and a crisp sound appeared in the room.

Ying Zheng nodded directly, then turned his head to look somewhere: "Dun Ruo?"

He said in disbelief, "I'm afraid that one person can handle it, right?"

"The Weight of Ten Silver Coins"

"After arriving in Daqin, we will arrive in Xianyang in about ten days."

Zhou Bo shook his head, looked at the crowd and said, "Don't call me a general."

Seeing this look, Chen Ping's heart trembled suddenly, he restrained the thoughts in his mind, and just replied sincerely: "Xiaguan indeed has an idea, but I don't know if it is true."

Although only from the seventh rank, he has already entered the ranks of the official system of the Great Qin Dynasty.

This is a middle-aged man.

Chen Ke nodded slightly: "It can be presented to His Majesty."

This point is very obvious in later generations, but today's Chen Ping is very surprised when he hears this, because it is usually said that the country is rich and the people are strong.

After Chen Ke's proposal last time, the Manufacturing Department has been trying to find a way to complete what Chen Ke said, but now with the emergence of the mother coin, what Chen Ke said before has finally been completed.

Chen Ping's heart moved, and he felt that the guess in his heart was getting closer to the truth, and immediately asked: "Then Prime Minister, why did you get out the silver coins?"

"Now Daqin is gradually recovering. Those rich merchants who have ruled the world in the past will continue to devote themselves to business affairs when they see the environment improving. At that time, it will be inconvenient to carry a lot of money. To some extent, merchants are restricted from doing business."

On the boundless sea.

But even so, Chen Ke still needs to make some preparations in advance.

Chen Ke, who left the manufacturing department, came to the palace soon, and Ying Zheng was a little surprised when he heard about Chen Ke's report, but he got dressed without asking anything.

"When you return to Daqin, you will understand."

After a while, Chen Ping quietly walked over with the box in his hand, opened the box and nine coins shone in the box.

"At this time, the role of silver coins with the same weight but different values ​​is highlighted."

"The richer the merchants, the more taxes the country will have, and the richer the treasury will be."

When everyone saw the middle-aged man, their faces changed, and they regretted their remarks just now: "I have seen General Zhou, and I have nothing to say, so I ask the general to forgive me."

Yu Shuguang didn't argue with Yang Tianyi today, but looked at him with rare sympathy in his eyes: "Although the lord can't come here for the time being, he sent a letter."

The gold coins that are not going to be issued for the time being are relatively simple. The black bird is branded on the one gold coin, two dragons are branded on the five gold coin, and the first emperor Yingzheng is on the ten gold coin.

Ships sailed one after another, and there were countless Daqin soldiers standing on the boats. This time, there were more boats departing from Qinnu Island.

Having said that, Chen Ke acted immediately.

A sigh attracted everyone's sighs, and the nostalgia on the boat gradually spread.

"If the people are rich, the country will be strong."

These are on the front, and words are imprinted on the back, such as one, five, ten, representing their value.

"One hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, so naturally one thousand copper coins are equal to ten silver coins."

When Chen Ping counted up to this point, he looked a little hopeful and stunned: "In the past, where ten thousand gold was needed, now you only need to carry ten silver coins of ten denominations."

He walked in the direction of the Manufacturing Department.

The man looked very serious, but there was a rare excitement on his face. At this time, he heard the discussion of the crowd, but suppressed his expression.

Now that it was approaching night, if it wasn't for something important, Chen Ke would definitely not come to him.

So Zhou Bo is also quite satisfied.

Xianyang City

Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "The prime minister is worthy of being a prime minister, and he can think so thoroughly."

There was a smile on his lips.

"It turned out to be him?"

Chen Ping looked at the coin, feeling a little proud.

One copper coin, five copper coins, and ten copper coins are the most frequently used coins by the heads of Guizhou, so most of the patterns on them are about people's livelihood.

Who is it that makes Yu Shuguang look at him with distress?He was a little curious.

When he saw the coins in the box in Chen Ke's hand, Ying Zheng understood, and said directly, "What do you need?"

Chen Ke said indifferently, "Tell me?"

Chen Ping got up immediately, bowed and said, "I'll go right away, sir."

Of course, there are not only silver mines, but also a lot of refined silver.

Although it was just an ordinary question, Chen Ping didn't dare to neglect it at all, and his mind turned quickly: "Prime Minister, the minting of new coins has entered the right track."

Chen Ping swallowed his saliva, and continued, "It's for wealthy businessmen."

Chen Ke glanced at Chen Ping with a half-smile: "You really don't know why?"

"And the role of silver coins is not for these heads of state."

"Please take a look."

"It hasn't been issued in large quantities yet, so we don't dare to forge too many coins every day. We only dare to forge a few hundred copper coins and a hundred silver coins."

Dun Ruo immediately replied, "No."

Chen Ke looked at the sky in the distance, and it seemed that the clouds in the sky were the insects hiding in the dark, trying to stir up the situation. If imagination could kill people, Chen Ke would have killed those people many times already.

"And the transactions of merchants can promote the economic circulation of the whole country, so that the heads of Guizhou can live a good life."

There was nostalgia in his expression: "That's the place where my father dreamed."

There was a little ridicule in his voice: "Yu Li actually has time to come to my place today?"

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

A small head poked out from behind him, with a little curiosity in his eyes and face.

There is a nursery rhyme circulating in the streets and alleys. Many children always sing the nursery rhyme while running. The number of times they go back and forth is more, and the catchy nursery rhyme is also remembered by the adults.

"One qian is enough for grain, five qian is for the fields, and ten qian is used to buy grain."

"Silver goes to silver, copper goes to copper, silver and copper are counted separately, and ten coins are exchanged for one silver."

"In exchange for the world's money, it will be enough for all people."

Mossy, mossy! ! !This month's full attendance, I must get it! ! !No more fishing! ! !
