They had already received orders, and the imperial division did not need any tokens to enter the palace - or something like that.

  He could go in and out of every place in the palace as long as he wanted.

  And these guards are all Su Wen's little fans, and seeing the idols in front of them, they are all respectful.

  Su Wen nodded towards them and walked towards the bedroom of Xianyang Palace.

  In the morning, it was the time to go to court, and in the afternoon, Ying Zheng went directly to the study to handle government affairs.

  Therefore, Su Wencai was certain that Ying Zheng should be in the bedroom at this time.

  All the way down, there is no one who does not know him, so it is smooth all the way.

  Finally, he stopped outside a room.

  It is said to be a room, but in fact it is also a hall, and this is Ying Zheng's study room to handle political affairs.

  "National Division."

  Seeing Su Wen coming, the guard at the door was shocked.

  "Well, is Ying Zheng here?"

  The guard bowed his head respectfully.

  "Your Majesty has been handling political affairs in the study."

  Su Wen nodded and said.

  "Well, okay, let's go in and tell him that I have something to talk about with him."

  The guard responded.

  "National teacher, the king said, if you come, you can enter by yourself, and I don't need to go in and report."

  "Okay, then I'll go in by myself."

  Su Wen nodded and pushed open the door of the study directly.

  You can't tell anything from the outside, but when you enter it, you can see that the space inside is huge.

  And the bookshelves around are filled with dense bamboo slips and a small amount of paper books.

  At this moment, Ying Zheng was sitting in front of a long table, frowning and staring at the bamboo slips on the table.

  And Zhao Lu, who was behind him, noticed that Su Wen had come in, so he couldn't help but leaned over to Ying Zheng and whispered.

  Hearing Zhao Lu's words, Ying Zheng reacted.

  He turned his head and found Su Wen idling around the bookshelf.

  He stood up, tidied up his wrinkled imperial robe, then stood up and walked towards Su Wen.

  "Guo Shi, I was dealing with political affairs just now, and I didn't notice the arrival of the Gu Shi for a while. I hope you forgive me."

  He bowed towards Su Wenyi with a modest attitude.

  Su Wen waved his hand and said.

  "It's alright, I can't blame you, why do you frown, what trouble are you in?"

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng sighed and then said to Su Wen.

  "National teacher, come, let's sit down and talk, Zhao Lu, go and make some herbal tea."

  "Yes, Your Majesty."

  After speaking, Zhao Lu walked out of the house, while Ying Zheng walked to the table facing Su Wen.

  After Su Wen sat down, he sat down and said.

  "It's not really a bad thing."

  "The national teacher should remember that you suggested to me at the beginning that I should abandon the principle of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and encourage business."

  "After adding the things you made and cultivated by the national teacher, the entire Daqin market has really come alive."

  "And the result is really good, a large number of people have joined the ranks of doing business."

  "Slowly down, these people have become businessmen one by one and have a million family wealth."

  "Logically speaking, this is a good thing in the first place, but the bad thing is that many businessmen can't spend their money at all."

  "There were too many coins and things were too cheap, so they piled up over time."

  "Actually, it's not just them, even Daqin's treasury is now full of those coins."

  "So Li Si just wrote a letter to build a new treasury, but it's not the way to go on like this. It's really a headache."

  Su Wen was stunned when he heard Ying Zheng's words.

  It's a coincidence that he came here to prepare to talk about this matter.

  "Actually, the purpose of my visit this time is also related to this matter."

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

  "So, does the national teacher have a way to solve this problem?"

  Su Wen nodded in response.

  "Actually, it is not difficult to solve this problem."

  "The problem is simply that there is a backlog of coins that are too much and too heavy."

  "So we can replace those loose coins with several higher-value currencies."

  "This way, on the one hand, it doesn't take up so much space."

  "On the other hand, at the same value, those high-value coins are relatively small in number and more convenient to carry."

  "You should also know that it's not that the money can't be spent, but because it's not easy to spend."

  "For example, local specialties, handicrafts, etc. can be purchased in large quantities by merchants and sold elsewhere, and then circulated smoothly."

  Having said this, Su Wen stopped.

  Ying Zheng was a smart man, so he quickly knew what Su Wen meant.

  In fact, he also knew that the previous monetary system was still somewhat imperfect.

  However, how to improve it is not very clear.

  At the beginning, the emphasis was on agriculture and commerce.

  To be honest, there are only a few coins circulating in the market, so there are not so many problems.

  But with the cancellation of this policy, the number of merchants increased, and the amount of money circulating in the market increased, and this problem soon became apparent.

0 ...... 0

  The current type of currency is generally still dominated by half liang.

  Although there is a higher value of "gold", the amount is still too rare.

  So now, when Ying Zheng heard Su Wen's words, he was also lost in thought.

  Then he continued to ask Su Wen.

  "National teacher, I don't know what you mean by replacement, what exactly is it?"

  Su Wen glanced at him with a smile, and then said.

  "You can send someone to find a metal called silver and a metal called gold, and forge them into silver ingots and gold ingots according to the pound."

  "One tael of silver is equivalent to 100 copper coins, and one tael of gold can be exchanged for a thousand taels of silver."

  "Of course the most important thing is the bank note, which you can understand as money made of paper."

  "It can be divided into one tael, five taels, ten taels, fifty taels, one hundred taels, five hundred taels, one thousand taels and so on according to the amount."

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng was shocked.

  He naturally knew that this method was completely feasible, but there was still something in it that he didn't understand.

  He knew about gold and silver, but these were not used as currency in circulation.

  But using paper as currency is a bit incomprehensible.

  Although paper is still extremely rare today, it is not yet fully widespread.

  But the price is not really expensive.

  And when paper mills around the country open one after another, the price of paper will plummet.

  If paper can be used as currency.

  So just take the copper money to buy paper, and then spend it on it?Small.

Chapter 156

  After thinking about it for a long time, Ying Zheng was still a little puzzled.

  In the end, he looked at Su Wen and asked helplessly.

  "I also asked the national teacher to say that I don't understand it very well."

  Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Su Wen also smiled.

  In fact, these things he just said completely continued the perfect monetary system in the future.

  But for now, it is indeed very feasible.

  In addition to the most expensive copper coins in daily life.

  It can be said that gold and silver bills have been circulated until the Qing Dynasty and even the Republic of China.

  Then in modern times, gold and silver withdrew from the currency arena.

  More convenient banknotes and even electronic payment have become the main payment methods.

  But this does not mean that gold and silver cannot be used.
