Liaodong City.

This important Andong town on the banks of Daliang River was just renamed Huanglong Mansion.

A Central Plains businessman who had just crossed the sea from Shandong asked a waiter in the tavern with curiosity.

"Why was it changed to Huanglong Mansion?"

"I don't know anything about it. This is a very legendary thing. By the way, a few days ago, our general returned to Liaodong City after seeing the emperor in Liuhe Palace. When he was about to reach Liaodong City, he suddenly saw a yellow dragon hovering from the water of Daliang, flying in the sky, preparing to pounce towards Liaodong City."

The waiter was so excited that the table was not wiped, and he spitted everywhere and told the recent legend.

"You think, what a great figure we, Mr. Luo, are we? These Andong counties were defeated by him with all his efforts. We have protected millions of Han people here to live and work in peace. How could we allow this Huanglong to destroy the city and eat people? So, our Mr. Luo rode his horse to chase the Huanglong. He immediately pulled out his strong bow with white rhino horns and shot it away. He hit the yellow dragon's eyes. The yellow dragon fell in pain. Then he was slapped and slapped on the ground and could not fly away. He was then smashed by Mr. Luo's six-leaf hammer that was taken away by Mr. Luo. He broke his head."

"So was Liaodong City renamed Huanglong Mansion?"

"Well, so our Liaodong City was renamed Huanglong Mansion, also known as Shenglong Mansion." The waiter said proudly, as if he was the legendary dragon slaying person.

The merchant pinched his chin, "If this legend is true, shouldn't it be better to call Dragon Slaying City or Dragon Slaying Mansion?"

The waiter smiled and said, "The murderous intention of Tu Aizhan is too strong, so it is better to call it Huanglong Mansion or Shenglong Mansion."

According to what Xiaoer said, after General Luo slaughtered the dragon that day, he asked the emperor to rename Liaodong City to Huanglong City, and upgraded Liaodong County to Huanglong Mansion, also known as Shenglong Mansion.

The emperor in Liuhe Palace also issued an edict to upgrade Shenglong Mansion to the accompanying capital, name it Tokyo, renamed the Eastern Capital of Luoyang to Zhongdu, and designated Daxing City in Guanzhong to Xijing.

Even because Huanglong wanted to destroy the city and eat people, the emperor issued an edict to change the military uniforms of the Sui army from yellow to red.

The merchant took out a handful of copper coins and placed them on the table, and rewarded the waiter.

The waiter looked down and saw that the ten big money yellow on the table was filled with joy. This was not as good as the white money in Yangzhou, or even better than Emperor Wen’s Wuzhu meat.

This is a new coin minted and issued by the Marshal's Mansion, called Kaiyuan Tongbao, which is of better quality than Kaihuang Wuzhu and Daye Baiqian. This kind of coin weighs 6 kilograms and 4 liang.

Each one weighs exactly one qian, and at the same time, ten Kaiyuan Tongbaos are arranged in a flat manner, just one foot.

Ten pieces weigh one liang, one piece weighs two zhu and four silks, and the weight is about 4 grams.

Because of its high copper content, this new money is deeply loved by people outside the pass.

Because the coins are no longer written in Wuzhu, but the four words Kaiyuan Tongbao written by Luo Cheng himself, so the money is no longer a Wuzhu coins, but a Tongbao coins.

In addition, the General Administration also issued silver Kaiyuan Tongbao and gold Kaiyuan Tongbao, which are also in circulation. However, both silver Tongbao and gold Tongbao are much larger and heavier than copper Tongbao. A silver Tongbao weighs one tael and a gold Tongbao weighs one tael. Both are not priced according to traditional weighing, but are directly marked on the coins.

One silver Tongbao has five thousand copper Tongbao, one gold Tongbao has two silver Tongbao, and one gold Tongbao has ten thousand copper Tongbao.

Jinyintongbao is not pure gold and silver, but is mixed with some copper. In fact, the price of gold and silver discounted copper is higher than the original gold and silver discounted copper. However, because of its exquisite casting and the endorsement of the government, it can pay taxes and pay money at the face value of Jinyintongbao, so merchants are willing to use it.

After all, it is easier to use without weighing or cutting. The gold and silver coins are not glossy, and there are relief drawings. The front of the gold coins is Kaiyuan Tongbao, one or two liang, and the words "one or two" straight money are ten thousand, and the back is dragon pattern. The front of the silver coins is also Kaiyuan Tongbao, one or two liang, and the straight money is five, and the back is tiger pattern.

The sides of the gold and silver coins are full of tooth patterns to avoid being scraped. As long as there is no scraping, it will be used according to the face value. If there is scraping, it will be weighed and used, and it will be depreciated.

On the other hand, the General's Office also ordered that it was strictly prohibited to scrape or even mobilize gold and silver coins, and those who violated the crimes were convicted.

However, because the denomination of this kind of gold and silver coins is more valuable than the actual weighing, there is no need to worry about someone using the method of shaping copper coins to make money by making money.

However, the issue of gold and silver coins was actually some helplessness from Andong Dao.

Because the business in Andongdao is still relatively prosperous now. On the other hand, Andongdao collects industrial and commercial taxes, and the people consume a lot of money. The court also needs to provide military and military support. On the one hand, some projects are carried out, and they recruit people to do things in the form of employment, replacing the endless conscription of the past, which also requires more currency.

Liaodong itself produces few silk and silk. As for coins, the Central Plains court has always been tight on money. So in desperation, Andongdao not only has both money and silk, but also has begun to launch gold and silver coins to alleviate the inconvenience during large-scale transactions and alleviate the difficulties of some shortage of money.

After all, the shortage of money will not only bring about transaction inconvenience, but will also greatly impact the commercial market and restrict people's consumption. This will undoubtedly have a great negative impact on the finance and taxation of the Andong Road government.

On the one hand, gold and silver coins were introduced to alleviate the shortage of money, while on the other hand, it prohibited the destruction of coins. On the other hand, it collected various old coins from the people to cash in on new coins and re-minded the old coins.

It is also stipulated that it is prohibited to hide more than ten cents of money in the home. Trading more than ten cents of money must be made of silk cloth or gold and silver, and copper must not be made of.

At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to flow out of the pass.

With a variety of measures taken, Andong's money shortage has been slightly alleviated. When the Central Plains merchant came to Andong, he first exchanged the money he brought to the bank established by the Andong government, and exchanged the various Wuzhu coins, meat, white money, silk, etc. he brought. Not only can he exchange it for gold, silver, silk, but also directly into silver bills and money bills.

As long as it is in Andongdao, you can cash in such registered silver bills and money in the bank branches of each county, or even use them directly as money. However, you have to go to the bank to complete a procedure during the transaction.

But this is much more convenient than before, which is directly carried with many coins. Although it requires a little storage fee, merchants are still willing to do so, and call this kind of money ticket flying money.

"Interesting, slaughtering Huanglong, the meaning behind this is already very obvious. It seems that this young coach does have the ambition to dominate the world."

The businessman whispered to several companions.

Another person said, "We have been in Liaodong for a few years, and seeing this place rise little by little, now it is indeed far better than the Central Plains, at least it is more stable here. I think this Luo Shuai, who slaughtered Huanglong, may be the Emperor of Chi in the future."

"Legends say that when Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, killed the White Snake, rebelled, Liu Bang was the son of the Red Emperor, and Emperor Qin was the son of the White Emperor, so the son of the Red Emperor killed the White Emperor, indicating that the Han Dynasty should destroy Qin. Now Luo Cheng killed Huang Long and changed his military uniform to red. Is it also the Red Emperor killed Huang Emperor?"

Another businessman said, "Zhou is the virtue of wood, so Sui is the virtue of fire, fire produces wood, and fire produces earth, and the five virtues are born together. The former will help the latter grow, and the virtue of the ancestors will help the virtue of the future generation, so this Luo Shuai should have chosen the virtue of the earth, and the color of the earth is yellow, so why did it become a yellow dragon and change it to red?"
