General Qin

"In this world, there will no longer be a record of Emperor Qin taking the soldiers of the world and making them the Twelve Golden Men."

"I lost one of Daqin's wonders."

When Zhao Tuo left the Qin Palace, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He changed history again.

Relying on Zhao Tuo's three-inch tongue, he successfully persuaded Qin Shihuang not to cast twelve golden men with the soldiers gathered from all over the world.

This thing, which is only to satisfy personal desires, and is not beneficial to the country, was strangled in the cradle.

This time, the world's weapons collected by the Qin State will be divided into two parts, iron and bronze.

After most of the ironware was melted, it would be used to cast farm tools, which is what Zhao Tuo called casting swords into plows to help with farming.

In addition, a small part of ironware will be melted and cast into twelve small golden figures, which will be placed in the palace as decorations for the emperor, which can be regarded as a small compensation for his desire to collect.

As for copperware.

In the end, after consideration, Emperor Shihuang decided to sell and melt all the bronze wares and make them into coins to promote the great event of unifying the world's currencies.

As for printing his portrait on coins for the people of the world to look up to, the emperor did not agree.

An important reason is that if the coin is damaged and the portrait is damaged, wouldn't it be an insult to the supreme emperor?

How can this kind of thing work!

The emperor is supreme, and no one is allowed to desecrate it!

In addition, in terms of actual operation, the half taels of money circulated in Qin State has a hole in the middle, and it is not easy to print a picture on it.

If it is made into a non-porous coin, it cannot be strung together. Compared with the current Qin State's half-two coins, it is not convenient in circulation, so this matter was not approved in the end.

However, the first emperor did not knock Zhao Tuo's idea away with a single blow. Instead, he came up with a good idea by himself.

The reason why the state of Qin respects the virtue of water comes from the fact that the former emperor Qin Wengong went hunting and caught a black dragon in the wild, which was considered auspicious.

So the emperor's head can't be printed on the money, but this black dragon can be printed on the coin.

With the hole as the center, dragon patterns around it!

This is the first emperor's own idea.

Coins printed with black dragons are circulated all over the world. This is a new atmosphere in the new dynasty, which can show the majesty of the first emperor.

The minting of new coins is just used to promote the policy of unifying the currency of the world.

Take this opportunity to abolish all the old currencies of the previous seven countries, including Qin, and only circulate new coins from then on, realizing the great unification of currencies.

At the same time, the black dragon is the symbol of the Qin Empire. The black dragon pattern on the coins can declare the majesty of Qin to the world.

The location of the black dragon is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty. This way, it can unite people's hearts to a certain extent!

"Besides, this black dragon can also be used as an anti-counterfeit symbol to crack down on those who mint private money. If those who mint fake money can't get the black dragon, it will be difficult to circulate private money and it will be easily exposed. It's so good!"

Zhao Tuo thought to himself.

As the Shaofu who is in charge of minting power, although he has been appointed for less than a day, he has already begun to do his duty and is ready to crack down on criminals who counterfeit coins.

"Although I wiped out the Qin Emperor's Twelve Golden Men, I have left a new cultural symbol for Great Qin in this world."

"Black Dragon Coin!"

This is the title of the new coin presented by Zhao Tuo when the first emperor came up with the idea of ​​tattooing a dragon on the money.

Although it sounds weird, it sounds better than half a tael.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo was quite proud, and walked out of the Qin Palace lightly.

...

Qin palace side hall.

The First Emperor withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at Zhao Gao who was standing in the hall, and said lightly, "This Shaofu Zhao seems to be a little dissatisfied with the golden man I cast."

Zhao Gao's scalp was numb, he quickly bowed and said, "The whole world belongs to His Majesty, and if His Majesty wants to cast a man of gold, no one dares to object."

"The minister's words from the Shaofu should be to worry about state affairs. My Great Qin wants to unify the currency of the world, and it must consume a lot of copper materials. The melting and casting of these weapons into coins is also beneficial to the country. And the matter of minting coins belongs to the Shaofu. Regardless, I feel that the reason Zhao Shaofu suggested using the weapons of the Six Kingdoms to mint coins is because of his duty, not dissatisfaction with His Majesty's gold minter."

"Hehe, what a responsibility."

The First Emperor smiled and shook his head.

He approved Zhao Tuo's suggestion because the reasons Zhao Tuo put forward were really convincing.

Forging swords into plows can help farming.

Bronze coins can help Qin unify the currency.

These are real national events.

In particular, it will be great to make dragon-patterned coins and spread them to the world to accomplish the "unified currency" that has never been done since ancient times!

Even the ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Sovereigns couldn't match it.

If this matter is completed, it will add more glory and brilliance to his title of Emperor Shihuang.

At the same time, it will also bring him great satisfaction.

Compared with this, the attractiveness of casting twelve golden men has weakened a lot.

As a majestic and powerful emperor, Shi Huang knew how to choose.

"This Zhao Tuo can always come up with some strange ideas. I appointed him as the Shaofu, which is really right."

"I don't know, what good things can he get me?"

He looked out of the hall, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.

...

Shaofu government office.

"Master Da Shu, I will leave this place to you."

The former Shaofu Zhang Song had a bitter face, and handed over the affairs of this place to the new Shaofu Zhao Tuo.

"Thank you Zhang Jun. Without Zhang Jun's help this time, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time if I want to grasp the Shaofu as soon as possible."

Zhao Tuo smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.

The former Shaofu was a loyal person, and he had been waiting in the Shaofu government office for him to come to handover.

After meeting Zhao Tuo, Zhang Song gave Zhao Tuo a detailed explanation of many precautions for managing the Shaofu, the situation of some major projects in progress, and the situation of the officials in the government office.

This allowed Zhao Tuo to have a general understanding of the entire Shaofu organization even though he was new here.

"Your Majesty is being polite."

Looking at the extraordinarily young face in front of him, Zhang Song secretly sighed in his heart.

How could he be willing to be relegated from the lofty Jiuqing Shaofu to the distant Kuaiji County in the blink of an eye.

If someone else took over the position of Shaofu, Zhang Song would definitely feel extremely resentful in his heart, but facing Zhao Tuo, he dared not, and even bowed his head to make friends.

Nothing more than other things, because this young man is the brightest new star in the current empire, the hero who unified the world, and the son-in-law of the emperor.

Regardless of title, credit, or the emperor's favor, Zhao Tuo far surpassed Zhang Song, so he could only sigh inwardly at his own misfortune.

Looking at the former Shaofu with a bitter face in front of him, Zhao Tuo could probably guess what the other party was thinking.

He smiled slightly and said: "I went to the land of Wuyue before to chase the traitor Xiong Qi. I know quite a lot about the land of Kuaiji, and the Yuejun Wuyou who belonged to Daqin also has a lot of friendship with me. Since Mr. Zhang wants to Go to Kuaiji to be the county guard, and I will tell Mr. Zhang about the situation there, so that Mr. Zhang can get a good idea."

Zhang Song immediately showed joy and thanked him repeatedly.

For the Central Plains, the land of Wuyue is simply a place where barbarians live, especially those barbaric Yue people, which makes Zhang Song feel afraid when he thinks about it. Now Zhao Tuo is willing to share his experience there, which is naturally a good thing for him. great thing.

"This Zhao Shaofu led the army to defeat the Yue people before and surrendered to the King of Yue. If he goes to Kuaiji this time, he may be able to borrow his name."

Thinking of this, Zhang Song was filled with joy, and even the complaints against Zhao Tuo in his heart were gone. He only felt that Zhao Shaofu was also a kind person.

Half an hour later, Zhang Song, the new governor of Kuaiji, happily bid farewell to Zhao Tuo and left.

Shaofu has completely become Zhao Tuo's territory.

"Come here, call me all the young ministers."

As soon as Zhang Song left, Zhao Tuo suppressed the smile on his face and sent someone to call his subordinates.

Under the Shaofu, there are a total of six Shaofu Chancellors, all of whom are Zhilu of Qianshi, and belong to the deputy positions of the Shaofu.

"Meet the Shaofu."

The six young ministers had already been waiting outside, and when they heard Zhao Tuo's call, they all looked respectful.

They stood in front of Zhao Tuo, not daring to make a sound.

Zhao Tuo asked them to introduce themselves first, so that they could get to know each other face to face.

"The subordinate official is Yin Chang, Tong Cheng of Shaofu, who is in charge of oral taxation and coinage."

"The next official is Bai Gan, the Minister of Engineering of the Shaofu, who is in charge of making utensils, and is in charge of the examination room, Zuo Yi and other workshops."

...

Among the six prime ministers of the Shaofu, the ones that caught Zhao Tuo's attention were the Tong Cheng of the Shaofu, Yin Chang, and the Gongcheng of the Shaofu, Bai Gan.

Yin Chang was a long-bearded man in his forties, with a steady voice, and looked quite shrewd and capable.

According to what Zhang Song said before, this Yin Chang was not from any aristocratic family, and he rose to the top based on his ability. He also has a brother, Yin Tong, who is a general under Feng Wuze's command.

As for the Shaofu Gong Cheng Bai Gan, he has a yellow face and short beard. He is from the Bai family in Mei County, so he has quite a background, and he has a good relationship.

Zhao Tuo silently went through the information of these two people in his mind, but he didn't care too much about it. No matter how great the background of these subordinates is, can he still be a big deal?

The reason why he paid attention to these two people was because they were responsible for the next matter of selling the soldiers of the world.

After Zhao Tuo announced the first emperor's edict, he began to issue orders: "Bai Gongcheng, your department is responsible for counting the captured soldiers of the world, separating copper and iron. Your department will cast iron into plowshares and other agricultural tools. As for copper, you will transport Go to Yin Tongcheng and wait for new coins to be minted."

Then, Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at Yin Chang again, and ordered: "Yin Tongcheng, you have to make a few patterns of the dragon pattern coins first, and I will present them to you. If you are satisfied, you can follow that pattern." Figures to mint new coins. Do you remember?"

Zhao Tuo's voice fell.

Yin Chang, Bai Gan and the other ministers hurriedly agreed without any hesitation.

Zhao Tuo nodded in satisfaction. He is now a leader, and he does not need to handle these matters by himself. He only needs to give orders, and his subordinates will automatically complete his orders.

However, this is limited to things within the cognition of these subordinates.

If they wanted to come up with something they had never seen before, or even thought about, Zhao Tuo would probably have to do it himself.

Zhao Tuo hesitated for a moment. Today was his first day in office, so he didn't want to make any big moves.

But helplessly, he has been wanting to create that thing for several years, and now that he has the opportunity in front of him, he really doesn't want to wait any longer.

Zhao Tuo thought for a while, but he remembered someone.

"Bai Gongcheng, Zhang Han, the magistrate of the examination room, is your subordinate?"

Bai Gan was thinking about destroying the world's weapons and making farm tools in his head, when he heard Zhao Shaofu's call, he quickly bowed and said: "Back to the Shaofu, Zhang Han, the order of the examination room, is the subordinate, responsible for The Lord does the equipment."

"Well, let the examination room order come here to see me."

Zhao Tuo's eyes were shining.

He wants to give Zhang Han a mission that will last forever.
