Is a penny worth ten pennies?

Zhou Yuan was stunned. He couldn't even sit on the soft stool, and stood up anxiously with a pale face:

"My lord, we can't force the people to block people's mouth, rather than Fangchuan, if we force the people, we are afraid it will cause chaos in the world."

Su Lu is also a little confused. What I said just now will block the people's mouth, and the world will be in chaos.

Zhou Yuan still wanted to persuade him: "Lord, although this world is not yours, you and your majesty are one. If your majesty loses the world, will you feel better in your heart?"

"Stop, stop, where did your brain go, I said that making copper coins worth ten cents, who said that they would stop the people and force the people!"

Su Lu prevented Zhou Yuan from continuing to use his imagination, and said depressedly:

"I said Lao Zhou, you are a veteran who has been with me for many years at any rate, so you don't take good care of my temperament."

Zhou Yuan's face was stagnant, and he said after a long time:

"Copper coins worth ten cents, how heavy is that prince?"

Zhou Yuan gestured with the shape of the coin with his hands. He laughed at the basin, and then felt that it was not working. He changed it to the size of the bowl's mouth.

"It's so big that it can't fit in the bag. It's inconvenient to carry. It's not as easy to use as the current copper coin. Ten Wen is only so big. That's the point."

Zhou Yuan took out a few copper coins from his pocket, weighed it a few times, and said with a smile.

Su Lu took a copper coin from Zhou Yuan, gestured and said, "It's still that big, but if you change the words on this, this Yuan and Tongbao won't be used, and it's changed into a penny."

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened: "Then prince, what do you mean is that the ten cents should be changed to ten cents, or even one hundred cents."

Su Lu patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder: "It's not bad, it's worthy of being a talent who can enter the center of the empire. This mind turns fast, yes, I'm just that way."

Zhou Yuan pondered, "Master, I know you must have a lot of considerations in your heart, but have you considered the most serious problem? The current Yuanhe Tongbao, not only we are casting, but also the folks are also useful mold casters. The same can be circulated on the market."

"Why? Because whether it's privately cast or the copper coin cast by our household department, the weight is not bad, so it can be circulated in the market."

"If it is true as the prince said, we have minted ten cents of money, and there are imitations in the private sector, what should we do? Even if you say 100 cents, privately build money, you must choose the largest denomination to cast, then what will be the denomination on the market? The price of these coins is soaring, and the country will not be the country."

Su Lu glanced at Zhou Yuan. This guy deserves to be the top talent, with a far-sighted vision. If he hadn't had the previous experience, he wouldn't be able to see this.

"We can start from two directions. First, it is more difficult to imitate the money. As you said, ten texts cost more effort, and 100 texts cost more effort."

"The second is to crack down on those who make coins. Private individuals are strictly forbidden to make money. Those who violate the order are cut off. If the amount is huge, if the relatives report the crime, the relatives will be exempted from death.

Su Lu looked at Zhou Yuan with a smile, "In this way, we should ensure the safety of our currency promotion."

Zhou Yuan pondered the meeting, and finally shook his head, "Even so, I'm afraid that counterfeiting will not be completely eliminated, but the prince has orders and the ministers should obey them. When I go back, I will summon the capable workers of the household department to make money and do it as soon as possible. Out these coins."

Su Lu nodded, and ordered: "First, make three kinds of articles, one article and five articles and ten articles. First, practice your hands, and second, the circulation of this article on the market, even if there are flaws, the impact will not be too great. "

"Well, there is special gold in West Liaoning. You can consider adding some special gold to make coins that other countries can't make."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up. Yes, the special gold was controlled by the guards, and only the government had it. If special gold was added to the coin, it would not be so easy for those private individuals to copy it.

"Enlighten the prince, Tang's envoy Xie Ruyu begged to see him, and he was already waiting outside the palace gate."

The little **** came in and spoke.

Su Lu raised his eyebrows: "He didn't go back to Tang to see Emperor Tang, why? He got Gao Lan's promise so soon and brought him in."

Zhou Yuan shook his head when he heard the words: "It is thousands of miles away to the capital of Tang State. Although Xie Ruyu has a great skill, he can't go back and forth in a few days."

"Gao Lan is not in Tangdu, this grandson has come to Shangshan again."

Su Lu looked at Zhou Yuan and judged.

Zhou Yuan nodded when he heard the words: "The prince was right. It must be so, otherwise Xie Ruyu would not be able to go back and forth so fast."

When Xie Ruyu came in, he took a young man and walked side by side into Shang's study.

"I have seen the prince."

The two saluted at the same time. Xie Ruyu looked at Su Lu with doubts. This is Shangshufang, where the emperor handles political affairs. Li Qing is no longer here. Why is Su Lu here.

Could it be that Su Lu finally couldn't bear it, usurped Li Qing's rights, and became an emperor on his own.

Should I change my name?

There were dozens of thoughts in Xie Ruyu's mind, but he finally chose to be silent, waiting for Su Lu's response.

Su Lu asked impatiently:

"Master Xie, you're fast enough, wouldn't you just come back and fool me?"

Xie Ruyu laughed when he heard the words: "The prince Mingjian, although the foreign minister is brave, but he fools the emperor, the minister is not so courageous. If the prince throws the minister into jail in anger, the minister's majesty will not be able to say what to plead for the minister. ."

"My majesty is worried about the ownership of Shangshan, and I have been staying at Shangshan Jiedu Mansion a few days ago, waiting for my news, but unfortunately he is incompetent and failed to persuade the prince to take Shangshan back."

"You don't want to go back this time."

Su Lu looked at Xie Ruyu disgustedly and said. She was empty-handed, and brought a kid with a face that wasn't white. Isn't she going to use this kid to bribe me? It's a pity that I'm not good at this, I'm afraid it will disappoint her.

Zhou Yuan cooperated with him and said, "Master Xie, this is the royal family of Han, the most noble place in Han. You bring your attendants like this, this is a big disrespect to my Han."

Xie Ruyu introduced to Su Lu and said:

"The prince, this is my prince of Tang Dynasty. He once studied under Zhou Shuai. Although he dare not say that he is invincible, he has gone through big and small battles and has not lost a few times."

"My majesty said that the prince wants five million taels of grain to exchange for Shangshan. My majesty agreed."

"But my majesty has a request, wanting to reduce some food and grass, I wonder if the prince has a tongue."

Su Lu glanced at the young man next to Xie Ruyu, and continued:

"It's okay to be invincible, you guys don't want to betray you, let's talk, how do you want me to save your food and grass?"

Xie Ruyu gave a salute to Su Lu, "The prince, the little prince is your junior. I admire you. I want to see with my own eyes how powerful your general is. If there is a general under your command who can win the little prince one game, we will increase by five. One hundred thousand taels of grain and grass, if your army loses a game, you will have to lose half a million catties of grain and grass, but prince, you can't take action against the little prince."

Su Lu nodded: "Yes, you pick whatever you want, and I will use that general to fight your little prince when I choose the one, and try to get you more."
