Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 570 I want to crush the Xiongnu
The first day of the first lunar month of the first year of Huaxia
The day after the Dazhong Empire was established is the Spring Festival that the Han people value most!

And this Spring Festival will be different from any Spring Festival in history! !

This day is not only the beginning of the year, but also the beginning of the Dazhong Empire, and the beginning of a new civilization! !

On this day, the whole country rejoices, and all people congratulate!
After Yuan Yao became emperor, he didn't want to move to the old palace in the south of Pingyu City, which was originally used for Liu Xie's transition.

The new palace is still centered on Taolin Mansion, but it just encloses the original Huwei Camp, Xiongwei Camp, Beishan, the Archer Battalion to the north of Beishan, and the Women's College to the south of Taolin Mansion, forming a new palace. The new palace has been built, and the impact on the surrounding people is very small.

Taolin Mansion hardly changed, but changed its name and became Taolin Palace, which still belonged to Yuan Yao's private place, and a separate hall was built in front of Taolin Palace, which was used as a place for all officials to meet.

As soon as he came to the throne, Yuan Yao did not act immediately, but amnesty the world, and let everyone live in peace for three years.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yuan Yao immediately summoned all civil and military officials to formally enshrine the world.

The first is the canonization of members of the royal family.

The eldest son Yuan Hao is the crown prince!

The rest of the sons are all princes, and all the daughters are princesses!
Lu Lingqi is the queen, Gong Yinglian is the nobleman, Sun Shangxiang is the nobleman, Cao Yanran, Ding Xiang, Zhuer, Xinger, Wu Ruiyao, Cai Yan, etc. are the beauties, and all the others who conceive or have the flesh and blood of Yuan Yao are all good people, good people Underneath there are court ladies, Cai Nu.

Queen, nobleman, beauty, lover, court lady, and lady-in-waiting have a total of six levels.

The rights enjoyed by each of these six levels are different, and the same thing is that they are all women belonging to the emperor. The evaluation of the first four levels is very strict, and those who have no blood relationship with the emperor generally cannot be evaluated.

The lowest level of Cainu is someone who has just entered the palace and has never had a relationship with the emperor. After she has a relationship, she can apply to become a court lady. After she becomes pregnant or gives birth to a child, she can be directly promoted to be a lover. No one can stop her.

This point was set by Yuan Yao in order to protect his children.

Because the two levels of Cai Nu and Gong Mai belong to the same existence as concubines, and they are to serve others, while the other four levels not only do not have to work, but some people come to serve them.

In addition to the women of Yuan Yao, there are also female guards in the harem. These female guards are not beautiful, they are all wives and concubines accompanied by Yang Wu and others.

The entire imperial palace is divided into three groups of relatively independent palaces, each with its own sleeping, eating and guarding system, called the Sangong. Belongs to the queen's territory.

Under the Emperor Yuan Yao of the Dazhong Empire, the most powerful was the prime minister, who was concurrently held by the Supreme Emperor Yuan Shu, who ruled on behalf of the emperor, and Yuan Shu also served as the general.

The third most powerful is the governor, the governor of the world, and Yuan Yao's father-in-law, the queen's father, Qi Wang Lu Bu concurrently serves as the emperor's commander.

Then came the Sangong, Taiwei, Sikong, and Situ. The Sangong did not change, it was still Yang Biao, Jia Xu, and Zhang Xi.

In addition to Feng Yao, the veterans who followed Yuan Yao in the army at the beginning were 12 people in total, namely: Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, Dai Ling, Xu Xian, Zhou Zheng, Zhang Shi, Wang Ba, He Tong, He Tie, Chen Ren, Zhao Wang, Liu Shun.

Of these 12 people, Yuan Yao was named general, among them Zhou Cang was named General of Hussars, and Chen Dao was named General of Chariots.

The rest of the civil and martial arts are rewarded, so I won't detail them one by one.

After the canonization was completed, the second thing Yuan Yao did was to unify the currency.

Currencies such as gold and silver in circulation are okay. After all, they are all calculated by weight. Real gold and silver cannot be faked, but there are too many kinds of copper coins. There are big money and small money, and the same big money has different holes. Big, in the past Yuan Yao only managed a Yuzhou that could be compelled to control.

But now that he has ascended the throne to rule the world, if the currency is not unified as soon as possible, the whole country will use the price of grain in Yuzhou, which may cause new turmoil.

The price of grain in Yuzhou was controlled by Yuan Yao at five copper coins per catty, and the outflow of grain was strictly controlled. Only grain was allowed to enter Yuzhou, and grain was not allowed to flow out of Yuzhou. Not only that, but also strictly controlled the quantity purchased by each household to prevent grain from being stolen. Buy short, there is a supply crisis.

One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand taels of copper coins, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver. This ratio is not convenient. Many times, people have to carry strings of copper coins to carry out transactions.

Because of the low cost of copper coins, as long as the imperial court is short of money, it will make a lot of them, and the local government will also make a lot of them. Over time, it will cause the depreciation of copper coins. Although gold and silver will not depreciate, how can ordinary people have so much surplus money? , can only use copper coins all the time, and has been exploited by the rich.

This, obviously no longer fits! !
After discussing with hundreds of officials, Yuan Yao decided to re-mint new coins. On the basis of this new coin, the exchange of old and new currencies was opened. The exchange rates of various copper coins and new copper coins in each state have strict regulations, which are not the same. Two pennies can be exchanged for one penny, while others cost hundreds of dollars to exchange for one penny.

According to the current price of the new copper coins in Pingyu City, Yuzhou, every five new copper coins can buy a catty of rice.

There are silver coins and gold coins on top of copper coins. Unlike copper coins, gold coins and silver coins are imperforate.

Ten copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and ten silver coins are equal to one gold coin.

Copper coins are still round in the outer circle and have holes in the inner side for stringing them together, with the four characters of Dazhong Empire printed on them, while silver and gold coins have no holes, with the words Dazhong Empire silver coin or Dazhong Empire gold coin printed on one side, and Yuan Yao's name printed on the other side. avatar.

It is worth mentioning that, in order to prevent counterfeiting and save the amount of real gold and silver, gold coins and silver coins are not pure gold or silver, they are mixed with a certain proportion of other metals, these metals not only make gold coins and silver coins more durable , the weight is also much lighter, and it is much more convenient to use than directly weighing with gold and silver.

The new monetary policy not only opened up the exchange of old and new copper coins, but also opened the exchange of gold and silver. One gold coin is equal to one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold.

Three months later, the circulation of pure gold and silver will be prohibited in the market.

In the first year of Huaxia, Yuan Yao did not fight against the outside world, but vigorously developed industry and agriculture. Although there was still a drought in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, it did not bring much loss to Yuan Yao's Dazhong Empire. After a year of precipitation, the Dazhong Empire was basically stable Got down and got on track.

Most importantly, the population has surged from 600 million a year ago to 500 million! !This new population is all newborn babies.

After Yuan Yao lived a stable life as an emperor, he showed his might. The number of princes increased to 36, and the number of princesses increased to 28. In addition, dozens of children are preparing to be born into this world.

This happy day almost made Yuan Yao forget everything about the outside world.

Until one day, Yuan Yao was leaning on the dragon chair, enjoying the massage of several court ladies, when Yang Wu, the commander of the imperial guards, presented a secret report from Liangzhou.

After Yuan Yao finished reading the secret report, Long Yan was furious, and waved his hand to make several court ladies retreat.

"Immediately summon the people to discuss matters in the future!! I want to crush the Xiongnu!!"
