212 Guess what this is

The shortage of materials has made the imperial study room unable to achieve brilliant lights, and it has just arrived without affecting writing.

Hu Guang looked at the three ministers sitting in front of him and nodded. Fang Zhenghua next to him picked up the small box on the imperial desk and handed it over to the chief minister.

At the same time, Hu Guangze said: "Several guys have a look first."

When Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi saw him, they looked at the small box in Wen Tiren's hand with curiosity. They were very surprised that the emperor summoned himself into the palace overnight to see what was in the box? It also involved the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites?

Wen Tiren opened the box with a little curiousness and took his eyes inside. His face suddenly changed and he became a little cautious. Then he reached out and took out a stack of paper from it and looked carefully.

The paper in my hand is roughly divided into three categories of different sizes, and the paper has the smallest length and width on it. The paper is printed with patterns and words, which are very exquisite. You can see at a glance that this kind of printing takes a lot of effort.

There is a copper plate printed on the top paper in the most conspicuous place in the middle. The words "Tongbao" originally seemed to be replaced. The handwriting was a little small, and Wen Tiren struggled to see it.

At this time, Fang Zhenghua took a mirror. Wen Tiren saw that it was a magnifying glass, and couldn't help but look up at the emperor. After thanking him with gratitude, he observed it with a magnifying glass.

I saw four characters printed on the copper plate as "Ming Dynasty banknotes". The middle of the copper plate with a round outer and square outer inner square outer is a vertical one, which does not come into contact with the edge of the copper plate.

Above the copper plate, the word "Yijinqian" is written in regular script. On the right side of the copper plate is "Da Ming banknotes" and on the left is "Tongtianxia". On the four sides of the paper are also printed with patterns, and there seems to be a dragon in the pattern above the middle.

Wen Tiren's face became more and more serious when he saw this, and he was also a little surprised. When he looked up and was about to speak, he saw the emperor smiling at him and signaling: "There is still the opposite!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he had to pick up the top piece of paper and look at it in reverse. The pattern on the Sanchen Banner in the middle was different, but it was different. The light representing the stars was much longer in the four directions of southeast, west and north.

Below the Sanchen pattern, there is a line of small characters printed with "One side is in trouble, all directions support!"

Wen Tiren couldn't understand what he meant. He looked up at Emperor Chongzhen and wanted to speak again, but heard the emperor say first: "Wen Qing, don't worry, wait until you finish reading it all!"

Wen Tiren had no choice but to look through the papers below. He found that there were nine such papers, or according to the meaning printed on it, of which one, two, and five were the same size, the difference was the number of copper coins and the explanatory text;

The other three are one qian, two qian and five qian, which are a little larger than the first three, but smaller than the last three. The color is no longer the most ordinary black, but black and red, among which red is just a dot.

The last three pieces are one liang, two liang, and five liang. These are color printing, which is much more exquisite than the one in front. At the same time, on the pattern behind the banknotes, the last five liang is to summarize all the sentences behind all the banknotes in front.

If one side has trouble, all directions will support you!

The whole people are united, and the profit is to cut off gold!

What's the point of being flooded in the south and drought in the north?

Corrupt officials, sooner or later, they will return!

I defend my country and swear to kill the enemy!

Everyone will do their jobs and do their jobs!

The country is rich and the people are strong, and live and work in peace and contentment!

We are in the country, and we are coming to congratulate you from all directions!

Wen Tiren was really confused, so after reading it, he handed the banknotes to two other colleagues who had sore necks, and then looked at the emperor again, wanting to ask for a clear answer.

Hu Guang seemed to have deliberately wanted to hold him in, and then spoke first and said, "Wen Qing, don't worry, think about it first. After they both finished reading, I will explain it together."

"..." Wen Tiren had to shut up, teasers, and think about it first.

Not long after, Bi Ziyan and Xu Guangqi finished watching, with a look of shock. They turned to look at the chief assistant Wen Tiren, and then turned back to see the emperor, waiting for explanation.

Hu Guang looked at the three of them and smiled slightly, "The three dear friends have guessed well. This is the latest type of Daming Baochao I plan to issue the world's Daming treasure banknote!"

When he heard this, he confirmed what he was thinking. The three ministers almost spoke in unison and advised: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

Now the court is really out of money, this is a fact. But it is really unrealistic for the emperor to solve the problem by issuing the Daming Baoqian to solve the problem, or it is simply impossible!

"What's wrong?" Hu Guang immediately asked, "Didn't you see that this banknote is actually different from the Ming Baochao?"

"..." The three ministers were speechless when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at each other.

At the same time, they thought to themselves: Didn’t the emperor become very powerful? Why did he say such childish words? Could it be that Taizu appeared before, but now he has become the young emperor who has not experienced much in the world?

As the chief minister, Wen Tiren had to speak out first and advise: "Your Majesty, I admit that these treasures have indeed been spent on printing, which is much more exquisite than the original Daming treasure. But if Your Majesty wants to use this kind of banknote, I dare to assert that this will be the same as the original Daming treasures, and will eventually become a piece of waste paper!"

The Daming Baochao is printed in mulberry paper, which is square, one foot high, six inches wide, and is green. It is a dragon-patterned flower railing on the outside. The horizontal inscription is printed with "Daming Tongzhe Baochao". The upper sides of the inside are seal script eight characters "Daming Baochao is the world". The middle picture coins are pendant, and the lower seal is "The Zhongshu Province reported that the printing of the Daming Baochao and copper coins are used for use. The counterfeits are beheaded, and the arrested ones are rewarded with 250 taels of silver, and the prisoners are still given property."

Wen Tiren is indeed the truth. These two types of banknotes are not on the same level in terms of feel, printing, or size. You can tell at a glance that the former is attentive, while the latter is obviously just average.

If the Daming Baochao is reissued, the Minister of Revenue will be the Minister of Revenue. Therefore, Bi Ziyan immediately advised: "Your Majesty, the Daming Baochao was no longer printed because it was useless during the Zhengde period. If it is released again, the result will be the same. It has nothing to do with whether the Daming Baochao looks good or not!"

At this time, Xu Guangqi was the only one who was what he wanted to say, and his colleagues had already said it, and he would just repeat it.

Second, he found that the banknote was indeed quite special. Many things inside were unique. Others may not recognize the symbols in the copper coins, but he knew that the numbers written by the Western Yi were one, two, and five. It seems that what Your Majesty said before was not very good, and it is really possible, because Your Majesty also understands it!

Xu Guangqi's conclusion is: Your Majesty has used so much effort, but there may be changes in other aspects!

Sure enough, I heard Hu Guang smile and said, "I naturally know the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty Baochao! It is simple to not repeat the same mistake!"
