Early in the morning.

Jinling City is silent.

It was even darker. Apart from beating people and transporting woodcutters, the people in the city had not yet got up early and almost no one walked around.

However, there were already traffic outside the palace, and the three princes and nine ministers each took their own cars and arrived outside the palace gate early.

It's morning court again.

Chu Tianxiu was wearing a marquis' dress and sat in a carriage, unable to rest as he stood there, holding a memorial in his sleeve, and his face was hesitant.

He knows very well.

Once this memorial is submitted in the court, it will definitely be a big blow.

No matter the ministers in the court, the powerful and powerful in the wild, the royal family of Xiang, the princes, princes, and even the distant princes...everyone with a copper mine at home would not stand on his side.

Countless people would hate him, not only to scold him, but also to assassinate him.

Except for the emperor, no one likes this "Forbidden to cast a private bronze coins". This is to cut off the flesh of all the princes, princes and powerful people, and let the Chu court gain great benefits.

This is a death talisman.

But.

If you don't report this memorial, the emperor will be annoyed.

If you treat him as a young man who only talks but doesn't practice, is unfaithful, dishonest, and speaks empty words, can you still have good results in the future? Losing an official position is a little bit of a matter of being imprisoned. It is normal to find a charge to imprison him.

This time, we either stand on the side of the emperor or on the side of the super powerful people with copper mines in the world.

Alas ~!

In a dilemma!

If he had known this was a huge pit, he would not have dug it and buried himself in it.

Isn’t Xiaohunhou fragrant?

Isn’t it good to have a son-in-law to come to the house?

Why are you going to get into this muddy water?

Chu Tianxiu felt bitter in her heart.

Seeing that his face was pale, Li Yu couldn't help but grab his hand and comforted him: "Husband, be at ease. The personal soldiers of the Li family in the Prince Ping's Mansion are all good at fighting. No one in Jinling City can move you. At most, the people in this world will scold you...!"

She had heard Chu Tianxiu say about "The Strategy forbidden to cast a private bronze coins" and had known it for a long time.

However, I didn’t expect that this policy would be introduced so soon.

The copper mine in Ma'anshan only had a small half, but it had not been dug yet.

Her father, Prince Ping, also had a copper mine in his fiefdom.

After my father and the second wife learned about this, they were very angry last night, and the loss was too great. A generous amount of copper coins every year was gone.

This is all money, which is related to the expenses of hundreds of people in the Pingwang Mansion.

Fortunately, she and Xiaohunhou have earned a lot of money in the past six months and subsidized 10,000 taels of money to the Prince Ping's Mansion every year, which has allowed her father and second wife to calm down.

At least my father will not make things difficult for my husband anymore.

"Well, just scold me!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled bitterly and nodded.

...

Chu Tianxiu arrived outside the palace and got off the carriage, but saw Cai and the eunuch waiting at the palace gate.

When the officials saw Cai and the eunuch near the palace gate, they seemed to be waiting for others. They were surprised and greeted them. The officials entered the palace one after another.

Seeing that the little Hunhou Marquis arrived, Cai and the eunuch came forward and laughed in a low voice: "Little Marquis, how are you prepared for what the emperor ordered? The emperor is worried, so let our family come over and ask first."

Chu Tianxiu said bitterly: "The emperor has his life, can I not comply with this little marquis?...but, this matter is too risky, maybe I will lose my head.

Besides, I submitted a memorial and if all the ministers objected together, the matter would not be possible. My little arm could not resist my thighs."

"This requires the little marquis to do his best!

Just the previous memorial will not be able to do anything.

The emperor has high hopes. You not only have to make a memorial, but also do the matter."

Cai and the eunuch laughed and said, "Of course, you don't have to worry. If this matter is done, it will be a great achievement for the court. You are a hero, and the emperor will definitely increase your position."

"How big is the official?"

Chu Tianxiu's heart moved.

"At least one county magistrate, or a two thousand stone official who is on par with the county magistrate. If you are promoted to prefect, you will be the youngest prefect in the Great Chu Dynasty."

Cai He and the eunuch said.

The emperor did not say what official he would be added.

However, Cai and the eunuch had been with him for more than ten years and knew the emperor's temper.

Rewards and punishments are clear, and as long as you make great contributions, you will never be stingy with rewards.

The first name of the palace examination was the county magistrate. He gave Xiaohunhou this reward, not the reward for Xiaohunhou's accomplishment.

If the "Plan forbidden Private Crushing of Copper Coins" is accomplished, the world's copper mine will be included, and the treasury finances of the imperial court will at least double. If the treasury has money, how many major things can it accomplish?

Can the emperor not be happy?

This great contribution is inevitable.

Xiaohunhou is already a marquis, and it is impossible to be granted a title of king again, so he can only be promoted. A 2,000-stone official at the level of a county magistrate is definitely more than enough.

After hearing this, Chu Tianxiu felt a little better and nodded slightly.

Working to give a generous reward.

The emperor was generous and didn't treat him too badly.

In just a few months, if you are promoted from county magistrate to county prefect, this is almost a speed of promotion.

The county prefect was already a considerable official, and he was a minister of the border and had great power.

He originally took a fancy to the position of the magistrate of Danyang County, and promoted him from the magistrate of Danyang County to the magistrate of Danyang County, and was in charge of more than ten counties in the county. This was a natural thing.

However, because Princess Xiang Ling was in love with the resignation of the old Prime Minister Xie Huyong, the prince was appointed as the governor of Danyang County not long ago, and was in charge of Wanling City to prevent the rebellion of the princes. The county magistrate should not be replaced for the time being.

It is estimated that it can only be other official positions of the same level.

Except for the emperor's son-in-law like Xie Anran, who can be directly recruited as a county magistrate. Everyone else has to exchange for merit, otherwise they can only slowly get through the qualifications and wait for promotion.

"Let's just do this first, it's useless to think about it if you can't do it."

Chu Tianxiu said bitterly.

He and the eunuch Cai and the big eunuch were whispering, discussing how to deal with it in the court and heading into the palace.

This matter is too difficult to deal with, and it affects the interests of almost all powerful families.

It is conceivable that all the officials and ministers in the court may have opposed.

How many ministers will stand up to support Xiao Hunhou?

Without anyone to support it, how can the court pass this policy?

Chu Tianxiu was unsure, and the emperor was even more unsure, so he asked Cai and the eunuch to come to Xiaohunhou and ask how confident he was.

-----

ps: The normal year of the Western Han Dynasty was 10 billion copper coins. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, he collected money in various ways to fight. The peak period was quadrupled to 40 billion copper coins. The war started for decades, and the national treasury was wiped out.

I wonder who is more clear about this?

If there is no major difference, this amount will be used as the financial reference benchmark.
