The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Cheng Chubi looked at raising his hand and covering his pretty face, but his black eyes were looking at Li Mingda from his fingers.

It was really dumbfounding, and indeed, she deserved to be, she was indeed the little cute with the spirit of spirit.

"Who said that, I think you are the most real and the cutest." Cheng Chubi said very seriously and confidently.

"Then third brother Cheng, you are not allowed to laugh at me." Li Mingda put down his hands a little embarrassingly, revealing a bright smile.

"Of course, definitely not."

"Your Highness... Your Highness..." A call came over. Li Mingda flattened his mouth unwillingly, but stood up.

"Brother Cheng San, I'm going back to the palace first, alas... I really don't know when I can see you again."

"Don't worry, I will enter the palace as usual and give you delicious food when I am on the day of rest."

"Yeah!" Li Mingda nodded vigorously, and then said in frustration.

"I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that Brother Cheng San, you are going to Luoyang to give me Grandpa Emperor's training palace. We don't know how long we won't see it."

Hearing this, and looking at Li Mingda who looked a little sad, Cheng Chubi didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

Then I heard Li Mingda whispered.

"I hope my dad will go to Dongdu to eat again this year, so that we can meet frequently again."

"This...I should be the most feasible way." Cheng Chubi nodded in approval.

Also, anyway, last winter, Guanzhong was seriously affected by the disaster. I am afraid that I will go to Luoyang by myself this year, and it will not be long.

Our wise and martial emperor of the Tang Dynasty had to lead the Baiguan and the Sixteen Guards to patrol the eastern capital.

Cheng Chubi sat in front of the case table and watched the manager of the Han and Tang firm sit in front of him, and placed a small box on the case table respectfully.

"San Gongzi, this is the mold blank for the coin we made according to your request."

Cheng Chubi opened the box. Inside the box were quietly placed a few steel work molds and a copper Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Cheng Chubi looked at the working mold carefully, and then put the Kaikaitongbao in the working mold, tightly fitting, with almost no gaps.

The working mold is a very smooth mold with a concave pattern. In this way, it is only necessary to fix the working mold on the punching machine.

You can punch the copper plate with just the thickness to produce a qualified Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao.

After carefully appreciating it, Cheng Chubi left this set of work models, of course, for collection and as a souvenir.

After inquiring about the shopkeeper in detail, Cheng Chubi sent someone to inform Li Ke, so that he would remember to come and join him at that time.

Let's go to the banks of the Weishui River to appreciate how the copper plate turns into Kaiyuan Tongbao.

#####

On the edge of the Weishui, Cheng Chubi stood on the bank of the river, watching the huge waterwheel, which seemed to be turning slowly.

With the rotation of this waterwheel assembled with wood and bronze parts, a punching machine is driven to reciprocate.

Every time you turn, there will be an extra hole on that copper plate, and someone will take a hook on the side.

At the moment when the machine is lifted up, the pressed copper plate is quickly pulled out from the inside, and then the copper plate will be inserted a little more, and continue to face the punching machine.

Li Ke picked up the shiny copper coin that had fallen to the ground, and looked at it carefully. The pattern on it appeared very clear, and it was almost indistinguishable from the coin that was cast.

Uneasy Li Ke even took out a Kaiyuan Tongbao from his pocket to compare.

Regardless of its diameter, aperture, or edge thickness, it is almost the same as the Kaiyuan Tongbao cast by the government.

Li Ke watched the copper plates that were taken out before him fell down, making a crisp metal sound, and the light in his eyes matched the sunlight reflected by the copper coins.

Some grinned nervously and murmured.

"Brother Chubi, we are going to be rich, we are going to be rich..."

Seeing this very nervous His Royal Highness King Wu, Cheng Chubi looked disgusted.

"I said, virtuous brother, at any rate you are also a majestic prince, so many dividends every year, as well as salary. I am afraid that it is not worse than the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an.

Please don't just look like a money fan when you see the money. Be reserved. "

"Oh...I don't want to be a little brother, because I'm used to being poor in the past, and it will be like this subconsciously.

Li Ke smiled shyly, grabbed a handful of copper plates reluctantly, and looked at the copper coins clinking in his hands with delight.

Still not forgetting to whisper to Cheng Saburo.

"Brother Chubi, the information you gave earlier did not say that the copper output of our Hantang Commercial Bank this year is about 3 million catties.

And this output will continue to grow. So, if all were used to mint coins~www.readwn.com~, wouldn't we have to issue a special issue again? "

"Haha, otherwise? But don't think about being too beautiful, Brother Xian."

Cheng Chubi looked at the stamping and minting machine.

"At most two or three years, when we can reduce the cost of minting to just a few hundred words, the news is sent out.

It won’t be long before those ministers will definitely suggest that your majesty take back our coinage. "

"Ah... Then don't we toss it in vain?" Li Ke looked at the punch minting machine that was continuously minting coins, and heard Brother Chu Bi's analysis, feeling that his heart was about to break.

"Hehe..." Cheng Chubi was immediately happy. "What about the court taking back the coinage right?"

"We can't mint coins ourselves, but our minting machinery can be sold to the court, and our copper materials can also be provided to the court."

"These are not the same as money? Although I didn't make a lot of coins by myself, the legs of mosquitoes are meat."

"It makes sense, but the meat of this mosquito's leg must be fat enough, otherwise we won't be divided by so many shareholders, I'm afraid it will not be enough to clog the teeth."

"Don't worry, this stamping coin minting machine can be transformed into a stamping forging machine with a little modification. In short, you can rest assured that you can never make money."

Listening to the bright future described by Brother Chu Bi, Li Ke's expression looked a little depressed.

"Yeah, yeah, but the money I earned, I didn't feel hot after I entered it, and I was taken out by Brother Chu Bi again..."

"Look, you see, now we have nothing to do. Who can think that your father really wants to move the capital, we are not for your old Li family."

Cheng Chubi slapped Li Ke on the shoulder of the miser.

"We have to look forward."

"Look at the money? Brother, am I just looking at the money?"

"..."
