Chapter 388 Reciprocity(1/2)
Author: Confused and helpless
Feng Yibo mentioned Donghai County with Li Shouzhong today, so he naturally did not want to reveal his identity.
In addition to explaining the matter of coin minting, he actually took the opportunity to characterize his relationship with the Prince of Donghai in Li Shou Center.
He wanted Li Shouzhong to understand that the relationship between Feng's Mansion and Donghai County was mutually accomplished.
But, he is the main one.
Of course, these words can only be said to Li Shouzhong.
Li Shouzhong had long noticed the relationship between Feng's Mansion and Donghai County, but he had not asked in depth.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to know, he’s just waiting for Feng Yibo’s explanation.
Now that Li Shouzhong heard that Donghai County was actually Feng Yibo's new policy pilot, his questions have been solved.
It turned out that this apprentice had long ago planned the new policy in a way that others had unexpectedly imagined.
Such a result made Li Shouzhong unavoidably mixed feelings.
The apprentice has grown up, and some seemingly impulsive decisions have their own purpose behind them.
As a teacher, I can no longer keep up with the other party’s rhythm.
Then, I can only give a little reminder in the general direction.
It is precisely because of this that Li Shouzhong reminded him to put the interests of the Great Wei first and not to get lost in maintaining the relationship between Donghai County.
Feng Yibo naturally understood what the teacher meant.
In the end, the conversation between the master and the apprentice ended in Feng Yibo's teaching.
Li Shouzhong did not ask in detail about how to pilot it in Donghai County.
Only when the Great Wei Dynasty is implemented in the future will he take action and grasp the general direction.
As for being in Donghai County, let your apprentice dare to try it out.
Then, this incident was as Feng Yibo wished.
At the court meeting, both Li Shouzhong and Chen Qinzhi did not object.
The gold and silver coins minted in Donghai County were approved to be put into use directly, and Zhao Shunjun's proposal for minting was also successfully passed.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works began to discuss the details of coin minting.
Not long after, Feng Yibo saw samples of the Great Wei silver coins.
The newly minted silver coins of the Great Wei Dynasty were called Xuanzhi Yuanbao.
In order to be put into use as soon as possible, and to take over the black dragon coins that have already been used.
Xuanzhi Yuanbao is designed with all references to the Black Dragon Coin.
First of all, the weight is seven cents and two cents.
In order to be able to sound, the Ministry of Works also specially wrote to the Ministry of Rites.
Please help Feng Yibo ask about the silver ratio of the Black Dragon Coin!
The patterns on the silver coins are similar.
The Black Dragon Mansion uses the patterns of sitting dragons and auspicious clouds, with the words "One Silver Dollar" written on the front.
It is written around it that "One silver dollar can cost one thousand coins, and the Heilongfu in Donghai County is the governor of the Heilongfu".
The Work Department of the Great Wei Dynasty created a dragon pattern representing the royal family, with a dragon ball coiled in the middle.
The big character on the front is "Xuanzhi Yuanbao", and the small character on the bottom says "First year of Xuanzhi in the Great Wei Dynasty."
Invesco Emperor just received a box lunch this year, so the era will be changed next year.
This also means that the real Xuanzhi Yuanbao will not be officially put into use next year.
These are all similar, but there are two differences that are visible to the naked eye.
That is the smoothness of the surface and the fineness of the patterns.
The black dragon coins are formed in one-time hydraulic stamping, with a smooth surface like a mirror, and are covered in white under the sun.
The sitting dragon pattern is also finely integrated into the texture, and the dragon's scales and auspicious clouds are clearly visible.
Xuanzhi Yuanbao is cast using traditional craftsmanship, with a matte surface like copper coins, and looks dull at first glance.
The dragon pattern is concave and convex, but relatively speaking, it is not that fine.
There is no way, so I let the Ministry of Works make a fuss, and I can't think of how to mint such silver coins.
Even if I asked Feng Yibo for help inquiry again, the reply I got only said that it might be a problem with the temperature.
In the end, this matter ended in vain.
Whether it is the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, or even the cabinet.
It doesn't affect the use if it's a little rough.
The matter came to an end. The Ministry of Works established the ancestral money and made a batch of mother money, which was handed over to various workshops to start molding and melting.
The Ministry of Industry took the lead and began to cast silver coins on a large scale.
The black dragon coins received by the Ministry of Revenue have also been put into use one after another, and will not be mentioned.
Just talking about this day, Feng Yibo rarely had a rest at home and was talking to Baochai.
As he was talking, the old woman from the second family came over and reported:
"Uncle, madam, the doorman said that King Goryeo came to visit during the season. I heard that the old man did not see the foreigner, so he left a letter and four women and left."
"Li Song?"
When Feng Yibo heard that King Goryeo sent someone over, he remembered that he had cavalry training on Jeju Island, and didn't know what was going on.
This time, when the Black Dragon Coins were transported over, the people from Donghai County came and went in a hurry, and they didn't care about this.
As the hostess, Baochai heard the point of the hearing was obviously different. She said in confusion:
"What's going on with the four women?"
The woman smiled and replied:
"It may be Silla maids who are from the same meaning as Menzi."
Silla maids and Kunlun slaves were called slaves that were used by the great families of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that the superior Silla maid is not only gentle and charming, but also proficient in Chinese and even proficient in Confucianism.
"Nothing nonsense, Silla is gone, where does Silla maid come from?"
When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and scolded, and then joked:
"At most it's Goryeo."
Silla maids were popular maids in the Tang Dynasty, while Gao Liji was called in the Song Dynasty.
In fact, they are all specialties from the same place.
Feng Yibo read the handwritten letter from King Li Song of Goryeo, which roughly means:
I haven't seen each other for a year, and I miss you very much. The envoys pay tribute and take a look.
The great kindness and virtues of fighting against Japan were beyond words.
This time, I asked someone to send a few Chinese ladies from the ministers to serve the marquis to eat and dress to repay their kindness.
After reading it, Feng Yibo couldn't help laughing and said:
"This Li Song is good, he is a kind-hearted person. Gao Liji asked the two brothers to choose one of them, and the remaining two. Go and talk to Aunt Meng and have someone give it to Brother Lian and Brother Bao to give it to Brother Lian and Brother Bao.
Go."
Baochai frowned slightly when she heard this:
"You sent women to them again."
Feng Yibo smiled and was about to respond. When he saw the woman going to take her back, he remembered something and called her:
"Wait, Brother Lian should be more cautious in the Dragon Scale Guard, so he won't give it to women for now. Brother Huan is not young anymore, so I'd better give Brother Bao and Brother Huan one!"
"yes!"
The old lady took her leave with a smile and went to find Aunt Meng.
When Baochai waited for her to go out, she said with a smile:
"I thought I wanted to keep one!"
Seeing this, Feng Yibo hurriedly said:
"What should I keep them for? Find out the news in our mansion?"
Seeing that Baochai was still looking at him with a smile, she explained with a smile:
"Isn't this a good place for outsiders to go to? The same is true for the Japanese girls before. Our mansion does not accept foreign races, especially those with interest."
Baochai nodded slightly, but said:
"I thought you didn't like it, but it turned out that I was afraid of being placed on the eyeliner."
Feng Yibo leaned over and gently hugged Baochai and said:
"If I want it, both the King of the King of Japan and the Queen of Goryeo have to serve you, but to avoid the troubles,"
He knew that Baochai was not jealous, but she didn't want to spoil the Xue brothers.
So he smiled and comforted:
"No need to say anything about Brother Tad, my brother-in-law has learned it well in the past few years. If you don't go out to hang out, you can give him some sweet things occasionally to avoid his heart, right?"
Baochai pondered for a moment when she heard this and sighed:
"In theory, I shouldn't have asked you guys about your affairs, but my two brothers have not yet married, so there are too many women in the room."
