Chapter 141 Gold and Silver Coins

()ps: Thank you to the girl who loves the first chapter the most for the reward~~~~~~

Although the fall of Guangling caused quite a stir in Jiankang, fortunately Murong Xin did not make any gesture of sending his troops south, so Jiankang returned to peace after a brief period of chaos. However, everyone familiar with the situation knew that

Behind this calmness is brewing a greater turmoil, but they have no choice but to wait uneasily.

Before you know it, the time has come to early August. After a month of hard work by the garrison and the recruited people, Chang'an City has been initially renovated, and the city's appearance has been greatly improved compared to when Liu Yao was in power.

Change.

Most of the rubble and garbage have been cleared out of the city. Although the road is not a brick road like Jiankang, it is still a loess road, but it has been smoothed. Several major drainage ditches have also been dredged, and the Chi Road is completely open to everyone.

, planted along the roadside

Flowers, plants and trees transplanted from the surrounding areas, people, various institutions and tasks stationed in Shanggui, and relatives of soldiers and soldiers are moving to Chang'an one after another. Today, Chang'an has no garrison and a population of nearly 400,000, making it the second largest city in the world.

The seat of the city.

The renovation of the Jianzhang Palace ruins is still in progress. Only 5,000 people are left in Yunfeng, who have to pay for food and money. According to this progress, it will take at least three to five years to complete, but there is no rush. Qing Qing

Open as much as you can.

It is worth noting that although there are many people in Chang'an, the business is not prosperous. Although there are two or three merchants from Liangzhou or originally from Guanzhong, and Yunfeng also encourages his subordinates who have shops and restaurants in Chang'an to open their businesses as soon as possible, there are still

There were a large number of newly renovated shops with locked doors. Yunfeng understood that there was no rush. This was just the beginning.

On the fifth day of August, the autumn air was crisp and clear. The renovation of the Chinese and North Korean halls had been completed as required. When everyone saw this unfamiliar hall, they couldn't believe their eyes!

The emperor's seat was still in its original position, with four big characters hanging behind it: Transparent and Open. However, the official seats were moved about two feet toward the center of the palace, and a two-foot-high platform was built in its original position, with one on the left and one on the right.

There are a hundred seats lined up in two rows!

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but ask: "General, who is the seat behind here for? How awkward does it look? It's really ugly!"

Yunfeng said indifferently: "Miss Yu, you just can't get used to it for a while, and you will get used to it." After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Send the order, from merchants, farmers, craftsmen, Wu Yi

.."" Each of the sergeants and students under the command were recruited to recruit 20 people to attend the Great Court Meeting on August 15th. I only made two requirements. One is that the participants themselves and no one from the three tribes should be officials; the other is that

The age range is between fifteen and sixty, regardless of gender. Those who sign up first come first."

"Yes!" The female Rakshasa hurried away.

Now, the main hall was already acting strangely. When they heard that civilians were being recruited to attend the court meeting, everyone started talking unconsciously.

Yunfeng stood aside and said nothing.

"Oh! Wenjun understands!" Yu Wenjun suddenly made a sound of realization: "General, this is the transparency you talk about? Let the common people observe the government affairs, and then let the whole world know through their mouths, right?

"

Yunfeng nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's do a pilot first to see how the people respond. If the results are satisfactory, attendance will be the norm in future dynasties, and it will be promoted to the following states and counties.

,Except for those involving military secrets, all other civil affairs and trials must be attended by ordinary people."

Yu Wenjun thought for a moment and then asked: "Are you just listening? Can the people express their opinions?"

Yun Feng smiled faintly and said: "Not for the time being. All spectators are not allowed to make noise or whisper to each other."

After saying this, everyone understood what it was like to attend the meeting. Although most people did not know the deep meaning, it did not prevent them from continuing to discuss the matter.

Yunfeng did not disturb them, but took out two round objects from his arms and threw them up and down with the power of his fingers, which was quite satisfying.

Yu Wenjun immediately noticed the movements in Yunfeng's hands: "General, what are you throwing in your hands?" Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and snatched the two round objects out of the air as a matter of course. He opened his palms to take a look, but

It's a silver coin and a silver coin

Huang Chengcheng's gold coins are exactly the same size and specification. They are the same size as a five-baht coin. They are slightly thicker and give people a heavy feeling when held in their hands. There is no round hole in the middle. One side is a seal character: Qin! The other side is engraved with a ship.

A sailing ship sailing in the waves.

Yu Wenjun asked again: "General, are these the gold and silver coins you minted?"

Yunfeng nodded and said: "Yes, this is the sample coin that was just presented to me this morning by Chang Shi, the money-making general of "Crossing Wuhuanhua"." As he spoke, he took it back from Yu Wenjun's hand and handed it to everyone: "

Everyone, come and take a look, what do you think of this coin?"

Yang Ming took it, looked at it carefully, and stroked his beard and said: "The coin has excellent craftsmanship and clear handwriting and patterns. It is far from comparable to those fake and rotten coins outside. However, how can it be exchanged with a five-baht coin?"

Yunfeng pondered: "During Emperor Wu's time, one pound of gold could be exchanged for one hundred and five baht coins. Based on this, one pound of gold could be minted into one hundred gold coins, that is, each gold coin could be exchanged for one thousand five baht coins. And

The price ratio of gold and silver among the people is one to five, that is to say, one silver coin is worth two hundred five-baht coins, and now it is five-thousand-baht coins.

The weight of money is thirteen kilograms, but the weight of a gold coin is only one hundredth of a kilogram. If it is popularized, it will be greatly beneficial for people to carry it with them and promote the arduous development of commerce. Gu Ke remembers that when

Gu Zang went to the street to buy cloth, but she brought a basket full of money, which was heavy and inconvenient."

Yang Ming chuckled and said: "That's true, these coins are real gold and silver, and the people should not refuse to use them."

But Yu Wenjun asked: "General, why did you engrave the sailboat on the back of the coin? Is there any meaning?"

"Yunfeng Zhengdaose: "It has two meanings. One is that a sailboat is sailing in the sea, which means riding the wind and waves, which is a metaphor for overcoming difficulties and moving forward bravely. The other is to encourage people all over the world to go sailing, explore and discover new worlds, and broaden their horizons.

Rather than always limiting our sights to the land beneath our feet.”

"Good!" Yang Ming praised loudly: "Your Majesty said it well! Our country of Qin is like a big ship. We must work together and sail against the current in order to continue to strengthen ourselves!"

Yu Wenjun also followed: "General, aren't you always clamoring to go to sea to find silver mines? Now that Guanzhong has been captured, there will be no war for the time being. When are you going to go?"

It should be almost the turn of summer."

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but look forward to it, and sighed: "Hey~~ I really hope time passes faster. Wenjun also wants to see what it's like overseas."

Yunfeng waved his hands and said: "You can go wherever you want to go by then. Well, there is no need to rush. While there is nothing to do today, let's go for a walk on the street outside and see what the people think about attending the court meeting.

reaction."
