grandfather married

Chapter 86
Wang Jian looked at a loss, and Li Yang was stunned when he said it. After a while, Li Yang slapped his thigh, "You are right, the wages are not included in the cost of the mine, how can I save the Xu family money!"

Li Yang squinted his eyes and looked ugly, "Could it be that Fang Qiushi took advantage of Xu's family and deceived me in partnership?"

Fang Qiushi is the accountant sent by Li Yang to the mine, and also the manager of his mother's dowry shop. Fang's family has children, and he has always been trusted by him.

A cold light flashed in Wang Jian's eyes, "Your Highness, anyway, even I, an account inspector, can see that you have suffered here, and there is no reason for a bookkeeper to not see it.

However, there may be some misunderstandings in it, Your Highness, don't be angry, you just need to write a letter and order to start work after the next year, and the wages will be raised to the original ten cents a catty.

It’s better to also order that there should be enough dry rice and meat for the noon meal at the mine, so that the laborers can eat enough and work energetically in the afternoon. Anyway, you don’t need to pay for the meal. "

Li Yang felt that what Wang Jian said was right, so he agreed immediately.

Seeing that the matter of wages was settled, Wang Jian talked about another matter, "His Royal Highness, nearly 20 catties of ore have been mined in the mine, and it will be minted in the new year."

When it comes to casting money, Li Yang attaches great importance to it, and he pondered for a while after hearing this, "I have to find a way to get my mother's money."

In Daqi, only the imperial court can mint money. Before each coin minting, the emperor must first be informed of the amount of minted money by the Ministry of Households. With the emperor’s permission, the red-approved memorial book must be handed over to the general supervisor. .

After the supervisor confirms that it is the red batch approved by the emperor himself, he will register the number of coins minted this time, because the copper coins are yellow and orange in color, so they are also called Huanglin Books.

On the Huanglin book, the general supervisor and the household minister should personally sign and sign, and then the general supervisor's coin minting department will seal the door and mint money.

As for the amount of minted coins, there is a set of calculation methods. How much pure copper and zinc are needed are all calculated in advance.

After the money is minted, the supervisor will come to check the fineness and quantity of the copper coins. After checking, the people from the household department will come to check it.

Afterwards, Zhengjian and Hubu Shangshu had to sign their signatures on the Huanglin book again, and this time the coin casting was completed.

Not only copper coins, but even official silver are cast in this way.

However, the imperial court minted very little silver, because there was a lot of silver in circulation before Daqi, and the royal family and the court could not recover all the silver and recast it.

But the copper coins are different. The copper coins before Daqi were blue. When they came to Li Tiancheng, the founding emperor, he waved his hand and let the craftsmen go through various tests. Finally, the copper coins of yellow and orange were cast. From then on, only copper coins minted by the imperial court were recognized.

The copper coins of the past are completely different from those cast by the imperial court. If the imperial court ordered that one dare to use the copper coins of the previous dynasty, it would be a remnant of the previous dynasty.

This is great, the copper coins are thrown away and can't be spent, just when the civil uprising is about to happen, Li Tiancheng made another decree to recover the old copper coins one by one.

As long as you bring the copper coins to the government, you can exchange a consistent copper coin for one tael of silver.

You must know that one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand or more than one thousand and 100 copper coins. If you want to exchange copper coins for silver, you may need about [-] copper coins. It was also possible to hold the power of casting copper coins tightly in his hands.

The current copper coins have four words on the face, "Tiancheng Tongbao".

Tian Cheng is not only the name taboo of the Holy Emperor Li Tiancheng, but also the year name. Da Qi has been passed down for so many years, and has always used the copper coins of Tian Cheng Tong Bao.

Li Tiancheng asked the craftsmen to carve out the template of Tiancheng Tongbao with iron blocks, this is the carving mother.Then use the carved mother to turn over a hundred mother coins, and the copper coins are cast out of the mother coins.

Regardless of whether it is the carved mother or the mother's money, it is stored in the treasury of the general prisoner. The chief prisoner, the young prisoner, and the left servant of the household department hold the key, and the three of them unlock the lock at the same time to open the door of the warehouse.

So if you want to get your mother's money, it's very difficult.

But it's not impossible.

Wang Jian mentioned the matter of casting money to Li Yang, just to see Li Yang's contacts, or in other words, the contacts of Duke Du Heng of the State of Lu.

Li Yang frowned, and said after a while, "I'll figure out how to deal with my mother's money."

Wang Jian heaved a sigh of relief. He came to Li Yang to talk about this matter. After he finished speaking, he was going to chat with Li Yang.

"Your Highness, I've seen your face glowing red recently. I wonder if you have a happy event?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Li Yang felt itchy and wanted to grab Wang Jian and tell him that he was about to have a son.

The baby in Fang Zhenzhen's womb was three months old, and the palace gave her supplements every once in a while, which made Fang Zhenzhen's face rosy, and the doctor gave a safe pulse every few days, saying that the fetus was very healthy.

What made him most happy was that Fang Kai sent him a message a few days ago, saying that the eldest aunt had found a doctor who knew how to do pregnancy to show Fang Zhenzhen, and the baby must be a boy.

As long as he thinks that his son will be born in another seven months, the joy in his heart can't be concealed at all, and the corners of his lips are always curved upwards.

But he couldn't tell Wang Jian, and he couldn't even tell anyone in the entire Prince's Mansion, so he could only secretly rejoice.

Wang Jian was secretly amazed that Li Yang was so happy, just like the expression on his face when he told him about the copper mine three months ago, he secretly wrote down this matter, and was going to report it to the lord when he turned around .

"Your Highness, you are the son of the middle palace, and you are the oldest among all the princes. No matter what, you are the best candidate to inherit the great line. You just suffer from not having a son."

While talking, Wang Jian coveted Li Yang's expression, and seeing his originally cheerful expression gradually turned ugly, he knew that he had hit his sore spot.

"Not to mention the four-month pregnancy found by the fourth prince, if the fourth prince conceives a son, you will be one step behind. I heard that the concubine is choosing a concubine for you, but I think that After all, a concubine is better than a legitimate son."

As an aide, he couldn't tell Shangfeng to go to the backyard to find the mistress to have a baby, but there was the fourth concubine's child, and Li Yang really listened to this cryptic point.

"Ziyi don't worry, I know."

Wang Jian, the word Ziyi.

Seeing that the matter was finished, Wang Jian bid farewell to Li Yang, "His Royal Highness, Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the parents at home are looking forward to going back for a reunion. Zi Yi will bid farewell to His Highness today, leave Beijing tomorrow, and come to see you on the Lantern Festival."

Li Yang agreed with a smile, and called Chang Shi again, and gave Wang Jian the New Year gift he had bestowed, and delivered the ceremony. Wang Jian called a carriage, loaded the New Year ceremony and salute into the car, Leaving the Great Prince's Mansion.

　Let me tell you, the process of casting money and the Huang Lin book were compiled by me.
