Chapter 221 The Emperors Mind Technique(2/2)
How could a doctor from Taiyuan University be allowed to continue leading troops in war?
However, when Qin Hao returned to the capital this time, the court had been quarreling about bad coins for several months. The most quarrelsome issue was how to carry out coinage reform.
Before the Western Han Dynasty, the five-baht coin was used. Later, Emperor Wu abolished the five-baht coin and issued a new currency. As a result, due to immature coinage technology, bad coins were everywhere, and the economic order was chaotic, which triggered a lot of riots. In addition,
Due to some natural disasters and wrong taxation policies, the common people were in dire straits, and various aristocratic families raised armies one after another to overthrow the tyranny of the evil emperor.
Therefore, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he took the lead in restoring the five-baht coin and still adopted the coinage policy of the Western Han Dynasty. However, there was a drawback in this, that is, the casting technology of the five-baht coin had long been spread and many vassal kings had it.
This technology is also the reason why Wen Xiujun is able to produce large amounts of bad coins.
Of course, the quarrels in the court were actually nothing more than two issues. One was whether new coinage technology should be adopted, and the other was who should take the lead if new coinage technology was adopted.
To put it bluntly, it is still a struggle for power. All the powerful families want to gain political capital from this matter. Emperor Wen now goes to court every day and is troubled by this issue alone.
Qin Hao stayed at Taiyuan University and did not participate in this dispute. He still helped Emperor Wen organize the memorials all day long.
On this day, Emperor Wen looked at the pile of memorials in front of him that needed urgent instructions. He opened one and saw that it was about coinage reform. He opened it again and saw that it was still about coinage reform. He was so angry that he threw the bamboo slips on the ground.
"What's going on with Zihan? Don't you think I'm annoying enough? Call him over!"
The eunuch soon arrived at Taiyuan Academy.
Qin Hao calmly adjusted his clothes and then came to Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen threw the bamboo slips one by one at Qin Hao's feet: "Look, they are all about coinage reform. Can you do something new every day? You have been arguing all day about this trivial matter. Do you need to do other government affairs?
?”
Qin Hao silently picked up the bamboo slips, and then bowed slightly to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, minting coins is a national policy, which is related to the livelihood of millions of people. Every day when bad coins are rampant, the people will suffer more losses. There is no delay."
Emperor Wen sighed after hearing this, and said irritably: "I don't know, but if you look at these memorials, they either recommended the prince to take charge of this coinage reform, or they supported the third prince. Are they for the people? They are all for the sake of the people.
Selfish desires!"
In fact, Emperor Wen still favored the prince when it came to heirs to the throne. After all, he was the eldest son, so it was natural for him to inherit the throne.
Although the third prince is smart and capable, after all, the legitimate elders do not possess both. The prince has no major fault. It is impossible for him to let the third prince inherit the throne. If the name is not justified, there will be big problems in the future.
However, Emperor Wen was in his prime years. Seeing so many ministers supporting the prince, he became somewhat defensive towards the prince. He did not want to see the prince gain too much prestige. He could pass the throne to the prince, but the prince could not steal it!
"Zihan, come and sit down. Today we are not kings and ministers. You, too, have grown up watching me. What do you think I should do?"
Qin Hao did not shirk, bowed slightly, sat down, and said casually: "This coinage reform must have a prince in charge to show the importance of the court, but in the end, it only needs a prince...
"
As soon as he clicked, Emperor Wen suddenly realized, yes, just any prince will do, and he doesn't only have two sons.
Suddenly, in the court hall, Emperor Wen issued an order to let the fifth prince take the lead in the coinage reform. This news instantly shocked the government and the public. The fifth prince, who had always had no sense of existence, was actually pushed out. It was difficult to avoid speculation.
Emperor Wen's thoughts.
However, the fifth prince looked depressed about this good job. He even complained to Emperor Wen that he didn't like dealing with government affairs and wanted Emperor Wen to take his life back. Naturally, he was scolded and sent away by Emperor Wen.
On the other side, the Qin Mansion.
Lou Niu held a bamboo slip in his hand and was fascinated by it. After a long time, he slowly put it down. He frowned and asked, "The Qin family wants to put their chips on the fifth prince?"
Qin Hao took a sip of tea and said casually: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. You can memorize the things here clearly tonight. Just go and join the Fifth Prince tomorrow. I've pointed out the way for you.
It depends on how you leave next."
Lou Niu hesitated for a moment and bowed: "No."
Then he withdrew.
