Chapter 113 The Threat of the Great Yan Dynasty
Nan Yan was feeling aggrieved when he heard Ye Zheng’s voice coming from beside him: “You two, isn’t it hot to stand under the sun?”
Looking back, he was holding a huge tray covered with a bright yellow piece of silk, and was talking hard.
The two of them hurriedly turned around: "Mr. Ye."
"Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng also smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, female official Si, you are polite." As he said that, he looked at Si Nanyan again: "Are you okay?"
Jian Ruocheng was stunned and turned to look at Nan Yan: "What's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan waved his hand quickly. After all, he was embarrassed to say something like being spanked, so he just said perfunctorily: "It's okay. By the way, Ye Zheng, what are you holding?"
Ye Zheng came over and before he could answer, he heard Zhu Feng's cold voice coming from Wuying Palace.
"How many things do you have to say outside?"
When the three of them heard him speak, they were shocked and hurriedly walked in and knelt down to salute.
Zhu Feng sat behind the table and was looking at some letters. At this time, he looked up at them and his eyes fell on Nan Yan.
"Why are you here?"
"I want to come and have a look."
"Get up."
Nan Yan hurriedly got up from the ground, moving quickly, and his butt didn't hurt at all. Zhu Feng glanced at her again, then ignored her, and said to Ye Zheng and Jian Ruocheng: "You guys can do whatever you want."
The two of them stood up.
"Speak up if there is something."
Ye Zheng snatched forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the first batch of coins in this dynasty. I just took them from the Ministry of Works."
"oh."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Come on."
Ye Zheng hurriedly held the tray and lifted the silk on it.
Nan Yan couldn't help but stretched her neck to see.
I saw hundreds of copper coins neatly piled on the wide tray, bright and shiny, with the four words "Dayan Tongbao" written on it. He wrote it himself. In addition to being regular, it also exudes a sense of vitality.
Ye Zheng said: "Because this batch of copper coins is the first batch, the ratio of copper and lead is six to four, and one million pieces are cast."
Zhu Feng picked up one and weighed it, it was heavy.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing him gently fiddling the copper coin with his fingers, Jian Ruocheng's brow frowned slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."
"you say."
"Just heard from Lord Ye that the ratio of copper coins for the first batch of money was six to four. Is this inappropriate?"
“…”
"Now the copper mines that the imperial court can mine are very rare. In such a large proportion of coins, I am afraid that there will be few left. In addition, these coins are circulated among the people, and I am afraid that those unscrupulous merchants will purchase them in large quantities and molten coins to cast copper. At that time,"
When Ye Zheng heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Jian Youcheng"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him and said to Jian Ruocheng: "I know what you mean. The copper ratio is too high, which is indeed harmful to the people. However, this is the first batch of money making, which is related to the face of my Great Yan Dynasty."
After saying that, he threw the coins back on the pallet.
"The next batch, come up backwards."
When Jian Ruocheng heard him say this, he immediately knelt down and said, "The Emperor is wise."
Zhu Feng waved his hand and asked Ye Zheng to put the heavy tray aside, asking, "Jian Youcheng, you come here today, what's wrong?"
"There is an important thing to report to me when I am here."
"speak."
"The King Jing wrote a letter to the Southern Yue Kingdom once again invaded our borders."
Zhu Feng's brow frowned immediately.
For a long time, in the north of the Great Yan Dynasty, they were powerful and powerful countries. They were skilled in riding and shooting and had invaded the border several times. Since he was named King of Yan, they have been fighting against the country in the north for more than ten years.
