Chapter 223 Adding money for 7 miles
Chapter 223 Adding money for seven hundred miles
Yang Reform felt that what Wang Chengen said made sense. On the one hand, he sent a letter to those feudal lords, asking them to donate money. On the other hand, he wrote a letter asking them to deposit money into his own bank.
But as soon as he picked up the pen, Yang Reform was in trouble. The ancient brush characters Yang Reform did not write very well, just how many feudal lords there are, Yang Reform doesn't know how many letters he has to write?A prince writes two letters, isn't that killing himself?
"Big companion, tell me, isn't this letter too much? Is it too difficult for me to write alone?" Yang Reform felt that he should not be too diligent. , brother, brother will laugh at himself when he sees it.
"...Your Majesty, Your Majesty should let Bingbi write it for you. Your Majesty can just use the seal." Wang Chengen thought for a while, and felt that it was a bit embarrassing for the emperor to write it alone, so he better leave it to the Chief of Rites to write for comparison. it is good.
"By the way, big companion, how many vassals do I have now? Can I get 100 million silver?" Yang Reform decided to ask how many lords there are, and he was going to see if Wang Chengen could get the money with this method. If there are too few princes, the amount of money everyone has to save will be very large. This will make it more difficult. On the contrary, if the number of princes is too large, then the amount shared by each person will be very small. , is relatively easy.
Wang Chengen thought for a long time before saying: "Reporting to Your Majesty, now that the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years, there are more than forty princes who have been hereditary. Big and small vassal kings, I'm afraid there will be more than two hundred..." [To explain, the number of vassal kings is too large to be counted. An estimated number is taken for the convenience of the plot and cannot be taken seriously. 】
"What, more than two hundred people? Did I hear you right?" Yang Reform's mouth could be stuffed with an egg. Before, I only heard that the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were fat, and they were called parasites of the Ming Dynasty. Now that I heard what Wang Chengen said, I feel that this is indeed a bit much.Just now, Yang Reform was worried that the number of feudal lords was too small, and it would be difficult for him to collect 100 million taels of silver. Yang Reform was going to mobilize the wise princes among these princes, and he was going to let him save a little more, so he was ready to write a letter This matter is for the sake of being sincere. Now it seems that this vassal king is too much. There are more than 200 feudal princes, large and small, each with a few thousand taels, and this 100 million is drizzle.There is also a prince with a good name in history. Let me explain the situation. I am afraid that tens of thousands of taels, or even 10 taels, may not be impossible to get. In this way, the 100 million is not difficult at all.No wonder Wang Chengen was very sure about his idea.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I can't remember the details, but I can't be wrong about it. I have to check the relevant documents to find out." Wang Chengen told the truth.
"Big Companion, the one you just mentioned, the one that asked for donations, how much do you plan to ask each vassal to donate? How much do you plan to ask them to save money?"
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, the meaning of this servant is to ask His Majesty to write more money for donations and less money for saving money. In this way, the vassal kings will definitely be happy to save money."
"Specifically, how much?"
"...Your Majesty, in terms of donations, slaves mean 8000 taels for the prince and 5000 taels for the county king; if you want to save money, 5000 taels for the prince and 8000 taels for the county king..." Wang Chengen compared the "more" and "less" in his mind. "Say it.
Yang Reform was confused. Is 8000 taels "less" than [-] taels?
"...There are also several lords who have always been famous. Your Majesty can write letters alone, and write a higher number. All you need is a letter to save money..." Wang Chengen added.
Yang Reform was dumbfounded when he heard this. There are too many children in the old Zhu family. No wonder Wang Chengen, an "honest man", dared to boast that he would be able to absorb savings. It turns out that each prince only has a few thousand taels. Far from what Yang Reform estimated at the beginning, it is not the same as releasing the blood of the kings. A few thousand taels is nothing to a prince. It is not a donation, but a savings. There is no difficulty, even if some princes are extraordinarily stingy and unwilling to save money in their own bank, but the 100 million is not difficult, as Wang Chengen said, maybe only those wise princes can get it A lot of money, plus the odds and ends of the other vassals, 100 million is really not difficult...
Now Yang Reform doesn't doubt the idea of this "honest man" Wang Chengen. According to Wang Chengen's thinking, this will definitely absorb a lot of money.
As Wang Chengen was talking, he saw that the emperor was in a daze alone, and he didn't seem to be listening to what he was saying, so he could only remind him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Well, um... I'm listening. By the way, the transportation in my Ming Dynasty is inconvenient. Although there are many vassal princes, I'm afraid that even if the princes in this distant place are willing to give money after receiving my letter, they will come and go. , I’m afraid it will take a lot of time! What can Da Companion do?” Yang Reform remembered that the traffic in the Ming Dynasty was really bad. If you have a horse, you don’t have a month, don’t even think about it, and then transport the money from the local area to the capital, the time is a bit unreliable.
"...Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit difficult. This servant thinks that His Majesty can persuade the princes and lords who are close to the capital area to deposit silver first. This servant estimates that within a month, the silver will be able to enter the capital; a little further away To put it mildly, in the northern provinces, it may take two to three months for the money to enter the capital; if it is the south, the slaves may take longer, and it will take three to half a year for the money to enter the capital..."
With Wang Chengen's words, Yang Reform poured cold water from head to toe. It took at most half a year to get the reserve fund. This time is really too long.
"Couldn't the time be shortened a bit? This time is really too long!" Yang Reform was speechless. He really ignored the traffic situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chengen lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it can only be expedited by seven hundred miles. In this way, within one day, the vassal kings within seven hundred miles can receive the letter, and His Majesty can limit them. Make a decision within one or two days, so the servants calculated, the fastest, within ten days, the vassal kings within a thousand miles will send the silver to the capital, if there is one month, the northern provinces, basically The money can be sent to the capital on time, the south has the convenience of the canal, is close to the river, and the vassal king with convenient transportation, I am afraid that within two months, the money can be sent to the capital, so it is almost the fastest..." Wang Chengen gave the emperor another trick.
Seven hundred miles in a hurry?Yang Reform suddenly thought of the post station, and thought of the terminator of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng.This guy is the postman at the post station. When he remembered that he overthrew the Ming Dynasty and forced "himself" to death on Meishan, Yang Reform's face paled for a while.How should I treat him?So far, no one has proposed to themselves that the post stations in various places should be abandoned to save money.I am still using these post stations vigorously, using the express service of the highest standard in ancient times, such as the [-]-mile express service of the post station. Maybe, I should give the post station a better treatment. Perhaps, this Li Zicheng will not rebel if he is treated well. Well, of course, it is not ruled out that another "Li Zicheng" rebelled...
Wang Chengen found that the emperor was in a daze again, his face was still white and red, scary, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Uh... I'm fine..." Yang Reform was brought back to reality from the world of "fantasy" by Wang Chengen.He is still the emperor, still in the luxurious palace.
"... By the way... Big Companion, according to what Big Companion said, it is necessary to use the express delivery station on a large scale. I am afraid that this long-term use will reduce the delivery speed and capacity of this post station. What do you mean by that? This station needs to add some money, so that they can serve me better? I use seven hundred miles to expedite all the year round, and I also feel that I am afraid that the postmen at these stations will be exhausted!" After thinking about it, Yang Reform wanted to give the station The postman's salary was raised.
"..." Wang Chengen didn't understand what the emperor meant. The imperial court and the emperor used post stations and expedited services, so they needed extra money?If it is calculated in this way, will the soldiers who pass here also be added?Is this Baiguan also added?In this way, how much is the extra cost per year?
"What kind of addition is your majesty planning to add? How much is it going to add?" Wang Chengen could only follow the emperor's lead.
Yang Reform was obsessed with it for a long time, there was no specific implementation plan at all, and he said in a somewhat decadent manner: "Brother, please send this matter for now, and we will talk about it later. If you are free, ask someone to sort out the situation at my Daming Station. It depends." Yang Reform doesn't want to hang up by himself, and he plans to put the salary increase of the post station on the agenda no matter what. As for how effective it will be, this can only be known in the future, but even if there is no such thing as Li Zicheng Factors, this station also needs extra care, and the Ming Dynasty will be turbulent in the future, and more and more things need to be urgent in military affairs and people's livelihood. This will inevitably increase the burden on the station. Additional money, this, is a must.There is another big reason. Yang Reform really can't bear the scumbag traffic in Ming Dynasty. He will never use [-] miles to expedite the [-] miles. In order to better enjoy the [-] miles, he is ready to pay more.
"Your servant obeys." Wang Chengen agreed.
After being interrupted by the post and Li Zicheng for a while, things still returned to the track of discussing how to absorb reserves and how to get reserve silver.
"This reserve fund, the matter of absorbing the reserve, is probably the only way to go. If it doesn't work, let's get some emergency money from my internal funds first, and then get it back when the money from the vassal kings arrives." Yang Reform no longer The matter of entanglement with this reserve fund, under the traffic conditions of ancient times, can only be like this, there is no better way.
"Your servant obeys." Wang Chengen promised again.
"Hey... I'm finally done. Let's go back to the palace. I'm tired." These days are really busy and people are tired enough. Once the work is done, Yang Reform relaxes and feels tired all over.
"Your Majesty, haven't you summoned the people from the Baoquan Bureau?" Wang Chengen wondered why the emperor had forgotten the matter of summoning the Baoquan Bureau, and felt sorry for the emperor, how tired the emperor was.
Yang Reform himself confused himself. This was another matter of borrowing money to absorb savings, and he was thinking about the problem of the post station and Li Zicheng. He had already completely forgotten about the Baoquan Bureau, not because he had a bad memory. It's just that I'm really tired today, and Li Zicheng has done too much damage to him.
"Uh... Companion, don't tell me, I almost forgot, are the people from Baoquan Bureau here? See you when we arrive... By the way, Companion, I almost forgot. Tomorrow I will discuss disaster relief and immigration here, you send Notify the relevant personnel."
"Your maidservant has made a note, and the people from the Baoquan Bureau should be here." Wang Chengen agreed.
"Well,... In addition, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the prison will be reviewed in advance. You send someone to tell Li Ruolian to step up lending, and say that the borrower can report the case in advance. In the future, the case will be processed for a certain period of time, and the evaluation of the case is qualified. If so, you can directly become an official, understand?" Yang Reform is also worried about the usury, anyway, this usury is his own business, and he uses his power to take care of his own business. If you are selling an official, then sell it more simply.
"My servant understands, my servant is going to urge me to see if the people from the Baoquan Bureau have arrived." Wang Chenen found that the emperor's face was not very good, he seemed to be very tired, and he only hoped that the official business would be dealt with quickly so that he could go to rest.
……
Yang Reform leaned on the chair and was about to take a nap, when Wang Chenen came back from the outside and reported, "Your Majesty, the people from the Baoquan Bureau have arrived. Do you want to see him?"
Yang Reform, who was about to take a nap, had to cheer up to deal with the affairs. If the matter of the silver coin was not handled well today, it would be difficult to talk about it tomorrow, so he had to cheer up.
"See." Yang Reform took a few deep breaths, shook his arms and head.
……
A green-robed official kowtowed tremblingly: "Ma Zhide, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, kowtowed to my emperor, long live long live long live long live."
Yang Reform cheered up and took a look. Those in green robes are low enough. This Baoquan Bureau is equivalent to the director of a banknote printing factory, right? Look down on this technical bureaucrat.
"Ma... Zhide, right? What rank are you as an official?" Yang Reform asked. This guy's rank is really low enough, not to mention in the capital, even in a provincial capital, or a prefectural city, I'm afraid his status is not very good Sample.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble official is Ma Zhide, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is a ninth-rank official." Ma Zhide said cautiously. It is rare for an official of the ninth rank to see the emperor, let alone him. Technical bureaucrats are even more unpopular.
Genuine Ninth Grade?This level is low enough, it is not 01:30 points away from the seventh-rank official!
Yang Reform didn't intend to be wordy about this sesame-sized official, and said, "Ma Zhide, I ask you, what does the Baoquan Bureau do?"
Ma Zhide was depressed when he heard that, what is the Baoquan Bureau doing?It is specialized in making money, and replied: "Your Majesty, Baoquan Bureau specializes in casting and making money."
"Well, very good. I have recently ascended the throne and changed the yuan. I need to forge new coins. Is it difficult?" Yang Reform asked.
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, as long as His Majesty makes an order, I can cast as much as I need, and there is absolutely no problem." Ma Zhide was puzzled, how difficult is it to cast money?Could it be that the emperor wanted to add something more to the money making?Used to subsidize?
"Very good, Ma Zhide, have you seen the silver coins?" Yang Reform asked.
"Silver coin?..." Ma Zhide didn't turn the corner for a while, what is this silver coin.
"Silver coins are money made of silver. They are about the same size as copper coins. Brother, show him some silver coins."
"I obey, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen showed this guy who didn't know what silver coins were.
Ma Zhide looked at it for a while, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that it is money made of silver."
"Very well, I thought, since this copper can be made into copper coins and made into money, why not use silver to make silver coins and also into money. When the new emperor ascends the throne, a new atmosphere is needed, so I want to make silver coins , Is this difficult?"
Ma Zhide is under a lot of pressure. He has only heard of casting copper coins, never heard of casting silver coins. This silver has always been cast into ingots, which are 50 taels. If they are all cast into copper coins size, this...
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, I can, I can cast it." Ma Zhide hurriedly said, although he has never minted silver coins, but he also knows something about the casting industry, and knows that silver is softer than copper and easier to cast, so, He said yes, if he was asked to mint steel coins, he might not have agreed so quickly.
"Well, it's very good, it's good if it can be minted. You first mint some samples, which are about the same size as the silver coins you saw. There is no need to leave holes in the middle. Each silver coin weighs about seven cents and two cents of Kuping, of which silver accounts for [-]% Ninth, copper accounts for [-]%, with my year name written on one side, and the outline of Chengtian Gate printed in the middle; on the other side, the place where the coin was minted is written, and the word "one yuan" is written in the middle. Do you understand?" Yang Reformed Yuan Datou, a model of successful hairstyle, was brought in, and he was going to issue silver coins according to the gourd.
Ma Zhide was confused and surprised at the bottom!Even the weight and ratio of the silver have been calculated, what style to cast and what characters need to be written have been thought out, and the rest is cast by myself.
"Ma Zhide, do you understand?"
Facing the emperor, Ma Zhide was already under a lot of pressure and nervous, but this series of data made him even more flustered. After listening to the second half, he only remembered the first half...
"Weichen, I understand, er... no, a little... er, understand..." Ma Zhide was confused, not knowing what to say.
Yang Reform looked at the poor guy and decided to help him, saying: "Big companion, use a piece of paper to copy what I said, and give it to him, so that he won't forget."
Wang Chengen said yes, then wrote it down with a pen and handed it to the green-robed official, thinking, the emperor is really kind to this guy, it is enough to pity this guy, this guy is lucky!If it was another emperor, he might just beat him up and throw him out.
Ma Zhide got the paper from the emperor, he didn't know what to say, he was very moved, the emperor is really a good emperor!You really love me, this little sesame official.
"Ma Zhide, since you can cast it, it's fine. I need these silver coins tomorrow morning. I hope you can cast them in one night, understand?" These poor ones were taken back.
Ma Zhide felt that he was going crazy. In one night, he was going to mint silver coins...
Looking at this poor guy, Yang Reform felt that he might be too strict with him, and said again: "Ma Zhide, if you cast money for me, you are naturally allowed to use financial resources, material resources, and manpower in my name. If it can’t be done well, what use is there for you? If it’s done well, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you. In the future, the Baoquan Bureau will be upgraded, and you, a ninth-rank official, don’t want to be an eighth-rank, seventh-rank or something?” Yang Reform said again Take out the carrots, the whip was whipped in the back just now, it's time to feed them with carrots.
Sure enough, Ma Zhide, who had been dumbfounded just now, immediately came to his senses when he heard the emperor's promise, and his fortune has changed. He immediately shouted Xie En, expressing that he would definitely be able to handle this matter well.
"Well, go back quickly. There is not much time until tomorrow morning. Go back earlier, start work earlier, and finish earlier. Remember, this matter needs to be kept secret, understand?" Yang Reform asked again.
(End of this chapter)
Yang Reform felt that what Wang Chengen said made sense. On the one hand, he sent a letter to those feudal lords, asking them to donate money. On the other hand, he wrote a letter asking them to deposit money into his own bank.
But as soon as he picked up the pen, Yang Reform was in trouble. The ancient brush characters Yang Reform did not write very well, just how many feudal lords there are, Yang Reform doesn't know how many letters he has to write?A prince writes two letters, isn't that killing himself?

"By the way, big companion, how many vassals do I have now? Can I get 100 million silver?" Yang Reform decided to ask how many lords there are, and he was going to see if Wang Chengen could get the money with this method. If there are too few princes, the amount of money everyone has to save will be very large. This will make it more difficult. On the contrary, if the number of princes is too large, then the amount shared by each person will be very small. , is relatively easy.

"What, more than two hundred people? Did I hear you right?" Yang Reform's mouth could be stuffed with an egg.

Let me explain the situation. I am afraid that tens of thousands of taels, or even 10 taels, may not be impossible to get. In this way, the 100 million is not difficult at all.No wonder Wang Chengen was very sure about his idea.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I can't remember the details, but I can't be wrong about it. I have to check the relevant documents to find out." Wang Chengen told the truth.
"Big Companion, the one you just mentioned, the one that asked for donations, how much do you plan to ask each vassal to donate? How much do you plan to ask them to save money?"
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, the meaning of this servant is to ask His Majesty to write more money for donations and less money for saving money. In this way, the vassal kings will definitely be happy to save money."
"Specifically, how much?"
"...Your Majesty, in terms of donations, slaves mean 8000 taels for the prince and 5000 taels for the county king; if you want to save money, 5000 taels for the prince and 8000 taels for the county king..." Wang Chengen compared the "more" and "less" in his mind. "Say it.
Yang Reform was confused. Is 8000 taels "less" than [-] taels?
"...There are also several lords who have always been famous. Your Majesty can write letters alone, and write a higher number. All you need is a letter to save money..." Wang Chengen added.
Yang Reform was dumbfounded when he heard this. There are too many children in the old Zhu family. No wonder Wang Chengen, an "honest man", dared to boast that he would be able to absorb savings. It turns out that each prince only has a few thousand taels. Far from what Yang Reform estimated at the beginning, it is not the same as releasing the blood of the kings. A few thousand taels is nothing to a prince. It is not a donation, but a savings. There is no difficulty, even if some princes are extraordinarily stingy and unwilling to save money in their own bank, but the 100 million is not difficult, as Wang Chengen said, maybe only those wise princes can get it A lot of money, plus the odds and ends of the other vassals, 100 million is really not difficult...
Now Yang Reform doesn't doubt the idea of this "honest man" Wang Chengen. According to Wang Chengen's thinking, this will definitely absorb a lot of money.
As Wang Chengen was talking, he saw that the emperor was in a daze alone, and he didn't seem to be listening to what he was saying, so he could only remind him, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Well, um... I'm listening. By the way, the transportation in my Ming Dynasty is inconvenient. Although there are many vassal princes, I'm afraid that even if the princes in this distant place are willing to give money after receiving my letter, they will come and go. , I’m afraid it will take a lot of time!

With Wang Chengen's words, Yang Reform poured cold water from head to toe. It took at most half a year to get the reserve fund. This time is really too long.
"Couldn't the time be shortened a bit? This time is really too long!" Yang Reform was speechless. He really ignored the traffic situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chengen lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it can only be expedited by seven hundred miles. In this way, within one day, the vassal kings within seven hundred miles can receive the letter, and His Majesty can limit them.

Wang Chengen gave the emperor another trick.
Seven hundred miles in a hurry?Yang Reform suddenly thought of the post station, and thought of the terminator of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng.This guy is the postman at the post station. When he remembered that he overthrew the Ming Dynasty and forced "himself" to death on Meishan, Yang Reform's face paled for a while.How should I treat him?So far, no one has proposed to themselves that the post stations in various places should be abandoned to save money.I am still using these post stations vigorously, using the express service of the highest standard in ancient times, such as the [-]-mile express service of the post station.

"Well,... In addition, it is basically a foregone conclusion that the prison will be reviewed in advance. You send someone to tell Li Ruolian to step up lending, and say that the borrower can report the case in advance.

Yang Reform is also worried about the usury, anyway, this usury is his own business, and he uses his power to take care of his own business. If you are selling an official, then sell it more simply.
"My servant understands, my servant is going to urge me to see if the people from the Baoquan Bureau have arrived." Wang Chenen found that the emperor's face was not very good, he seemed to be very tired, and he only hoped that the official business would be dealt with quickly so that he could go to rest.

Yang Reform leaned on the chair and was about to take a nap, when Wang Chenen came back from the outside and reported, "Your Majesty, the people from the Baoquan Bureau have arrived. Do you want to see him?"
Yang Reform, who was about to take a nap, had to cheer up to deal with the affairs. If the matter of the silver coin was not handled well today, it would be difficult to talk about it tomorrow, so he had to cheer up.
"See." Yang Reform took a few deep breaths, shook his arms and head.
……
A green-robed official kowtowed tremblingly: "Ma Zhide, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, kowtowed to my emperor, long live long live long live long live."
Yang Reform cheered up and took a look. Those in green robes are low enough. This Baoquan Bureau is equivalent to the director of a banknote printing factory, right? Look down on this technical bureaucrat.
"Ma... Zhide, right? What rank are you as an official?" Yang Reform asked. This guy's rank is really low enough, not to mention in the capital, even in a provincial capital, or a prefectural city, I'm afraid his status is not very good Sample.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this humble official is Ma Zhide, the ambassador of the Baoquan Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he is a ninth-rank official." Ma Zhide said cautiously. It is rare for an official of the ninth rank to see the emperor, let alone him. Technical bureaucrats are even more unpopular.
Genuine Ninth Grade?This level is low enough, it is not 01:30 points away from the seventh-rank official!
Yang Reform didn't intend to be wordy about this sesame-sized official, and said, "Ma Zhide, I ask you, what does the Baoquan Bureau do?"
Ma Zhide was depressed when he heard that, what is the Baoquan Bureau doing?It is specialized in making money, and replied: "Your Majesty, Baoquan Bureau specializes in casting and making money."
"Well, very good. I have recently ascended the throne and changed the yuan. I need to forge new coins. Is it difficult?" Yang Reform asked.
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, as long as His Majesty makes an order, I can cast as much as I need, and there is absolutely no problem." Ma Zhide was puzzled, how difficult is it to cast money?Could it be that the emperor wanted to add something more to the money making?Used to subsidize?
"Very good, Ma Zhide, have you seen the silver coins?" Yang Reform asked.
"Silver coin?..." Ma Zhide didn't turn the corner for a while, what is this silver coin.
"Silver coins are money made of silver. They are about the same size as copper coins. Brother, show him some silver coins."
"I obey, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen showed this guy who didn't know what silver coins were.
Ma Zhide looked at it for a while, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that it is money made of silver."
"Very well, I thought, since this copper can be made into copper coins and made into money, why not use silver to make silver coins and also into money. When the new emperor ascends the throne, a new atmosphere is needed, so I want to make silver coins , Is this difficult?"
Ma Zhide is under a lot of pressure. He has only heard of casting copper coins, never heard of casting silver coins. This silver has always been cast into ingots, which are 50 taels. If they are all cast into copper coins size, this...
"...Reporting to Your Majesty, I can, I can cast it." Ma Zhide hurriedly said, although he has never minted silver coins, but he also knows something about the casting industry, and knows that silver is softer than copper and easier to cast, so, He said yes, if he was asked to mint steel coins, he might not have agreed so quickly.
"Well, it's very good, it's good if it can be minted. You first mint some samples, which are about the same size as the silver coins you saw. There is no need to leave holes in the middle. Each silver coin weighs about seven cents and two cents of Kuping, of which silver accounts for [-]% Ninth, copper accounts for [-]%, with my year name written on one side, and the outline of Chengtian Gate printed in the middle; on the other side, the place where the coin was minted is written, and the word "one yuan" is written in the middle. Do you understand?" Yang Reformed Yuan Datou, a model of successful hairstyle, was brought in, and he was going to issue silver coins according to the gourd.
Ma Zhide was confused and surprised at the bottom!Even the weight and ratio of the silver have been calculated, what style to cast and what characters need to be written have been thought out, and the rest is cast by myself.
"Ma Zhide, do you understand?"
Facing the emperor, Ma Zhide was already under a lot of pressure and nervous, but this series of data made him even more flustered. After listening to the second half, he only remembered the first half...
"Weichen, I understand, er... no, a little... er, understand..." Ma Zhide was confused, not knowing what to say.
Yang Reform looked at the poor guy and decided to help him, saying: "Big companion, use a piece of paper to copy what I said, and give it to him, so that he won't forget."
Wang Chengen said yes, then wrote it down with a pen and handed it to the green-robed official, thinking, the emperor is really kind to this guy, it is enough to pity this guy, this guy is lucky!If it was another emperor, he might just beat him up and throw him out.
Ma Zhide got the paper from the emperor, he didn't know what to say, he was very moved, the emperor is really a good emperor!You really love me, this little sesame official.
"Ma Zhide, since you can cast it, it's fine. I need these silver coins tomorrow morning. I hope you can cast them in one night, understand?" These poor ones were taken back.
Ma Zhide felt that he was going crazy. In one night, he was going to mint silver coins...
Looking at this poor guy, Yang Reform felt that he might be too strict with him, and said again: "Ma Zhide, if you cast money for me, you are naturally allowed to use financial resources, material resources, and manpower in my name. If it can’t be done well, what use is there for you? If it’s done well, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you. In the future, the Baoquan Bureau will be upgraded, and you, a ninth-rank official, don’t want to be an eighth-rank, seventh-rank or something?” Yang Reform said again Take out the carrots, the whip was whipped in the back just now, it's time to feed them with carrots.
Sure enough, Ma Zhide, who had been dumbfounded just now, immediately came to his senses when he heard the emperor's promise, and his fortune has changed. He immediately shouted Xie En, expressing that he would definitely be able to handle this matter well.
"Well, go back quickly. There is not much time until tomorrow morning. Go back earlier, start work earlier, and finish earlier. Remember, this matter needs to be kept secret, understand?" Yang Reform asked again.
