467 Datang Coins Part 2

Li Yuanxing's box was newly made in Qinwangzhuang.

After the box was opened, a round hole the size of a gold coin was first carved out of wood, and then the bottom was made of pure white silk. On top were bright yellow gold coins, extremely clean gold coins.

The first thing Li Er saw was nothing else but the portrait on the gold coin on the left.

It feels so familiar, and I feel that this avatar is very powerful.

"When the Holy Emperor ascended the throne..." Changsun Wuji spoke from the side, but he saw that the other ministers were tightly closing their mouths, so he closed his mouth immediately.

Yes, that's right, it was when I ascended the throne. Li Er clenched his fist hard. He felt that he had an indescribable excitement. He was afraid that others would see his hand trembling, so he clenched it hard.

After making a fist, he reached out and took the gold coin in his hand.

It's bright yellow, about one or two layers, and even the best goldsmiths in the palace can't make something like this.

There are actually words on it, a small row of small words around the avatar.

Looking at the words above, Li Er's eyes turned red and he looked around. This look alone made many people extremely nervous, but Li Er suddenly stretched out his hands to the sky, but he didn't know to grab them.

What.

All the ministers felt nervous and had more doubts.

The eunuchs and maids were so nervous that they were shaking. Suddenly...

Suddenly, with everyone's shocked eyes, Li Er knelt down facing Dongfang. This was so frightening that everyone's heartbeats stopped. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually knelt down. What did the ministers do?

What will happen to the surrounding eunuchs, palace maids, and the imperial guards outside the door?

The only one still standing was Li Yuanxing.

Only Li Yuanxing understood why Li Er knelt down in the direction of the rising sun at this time.

Because among the characters on the gold coin, there were eight characters, and they were written in ancient seal script. The seal script was the character used by Qin when he unified the six kingdoms, and the font on Li Yuanxing was copied from the characters in later generations' documents and pictures. This is

The eight characters are:

Destined to live long and prosperous life

"Wu Lang!" Li Er roared with countless expectations and resentments.

Li Er has a huge regret in his heart, and it is precisely because of this regret that the aristocratic families look down upon him. Because he did not get the orthodoxy, because he did not get the inheritance. Because he did not pass on the national jade seal!

"Recruit the Security Department of the Tang Dynasty, General Qin!" Li Yuanxing did not answer Li Er immediately, but gave this order.

Eunuch Gao was still stunned and didn't move.

Li Er turned over and jumped up. He took out the knife from the shelf next to the desk and pointed it at Eunuch Gao: "Are you deaf?"

Gao Gong only rolled and crawled out before rushing out.

Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Brother Emperor, I was wrong. If I had known this, I should have dealt with that matter first. I originally thought that it should have been in Brother Emperor's hands."

Li Er ignored Li Yuanxing, raised his long knife and looked up to the sky, laughing almost madly. At the same time, he shouted:

"Destined to live long and prosperous lives!"

Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette, and stretched out his hand to help the oldest Wang Jishan up: "My brother, the emperor, thought of an old incident, and he was deeply moved. All ministers, please come up!" Li Yuanxing went to help him in person, and needless to say, all these people stood up.

stand up.

But Li Er's kneeling just now was so frightening that his heart stopped.

Li Er was very cunning. When he heard what Li Yuanxing said, he immediately put the gold coin on his belt, pretended to be nothing, picked up the second one, read the words on it carefully, and whispered: "The Tang Dynasty is kind, filial and brave.

The virtuous queen is the eldest son of the Sun family!" After saying that, he handed the gold coin to Cui Junsu.

Cui Junsu took it and turned it to the back. He also read: "Serve our aunt dearly, with utmost sincerity and filial piety!"

Then there is a big word "five money" in the middle.

Cui Junsu took the gold coin to the other ministers and looked at it together. There were fine patterns around the gold coin, and the characters' heads were in the form of reliefs, with peonies underneath the heads. The words on the front and back were so small that even presbyopia like Wang Jishan could see them.

It's not clear, but it is also in relief style and beautifully printed.

"Your Highness, it is commonly known as gold without pure red, six white, seven green, eight yellow, and nine red. The color of your highness's gold coin is already the best among the eight yellows, which can be said to be 85%. The weight of five coins should be sufficient, my lord.

I thought that the craftsmanship of this gold coin would cost at least two taels of labor. How much does your highness pay for this gold coin?"

Li Yuanxing's gold coins are actually 18K gold, which is 75% pure gold.

The remaining part, silver, nickel, and zinc account for 25%, which is the 18K alloy gold coin.

"I am pleased. What do you think of this answer?" Li Yuanxing said one sentence, so everyone was stunned, and then laughed in unison. Wang Jishan stroked his beard and laughed: "There are rumors in the world that His Highness King Qin is a disciple of the God of Wealth. His Highness may

Will you pay compensation? I believe that the market value of this gold coin is six cents!"

"Because this is King Qin's money, and this craft is difficult to imitate in the world!" Cui Junsu also said.

Li Yuanxing then opened the lower three layers of the box and brought only one gold coin of each type.

After opening the box, Li Yuanxing emphasized: "There are only a hundred gold coins planned for the portrait of my father. Now think about it, it costs a lot to make a model, so the quantity will be larger. I don't plan to circulate it. The emperor will use it as a reward."

Ministers who have meritorious service can still do it.”

"Great good!" Wang Jishan also agreed with this approach.

Li Er never spoke, his mind was still on those eight words.

When all the ministers were looking at the gold coins, Li Yuanxing leaned next to Li Er: "This is my brother's fault. I was negligent. But since the matter is already like this, why not take this opportunity to let me do something?

Like auspiciousness coming from heaven or something.”

"Tonight, I want to see and touch it!" Li Er said in a cold tone.

"I promise!" Li Yuanxing originally wanted to say: It doesn't matter if you kill people? This was a joke on Li Er, but he suddenly realized that joking about this kind of thing might actually lead to death, so he could only give Li Er a definite guarantee.

Li Er took the gold coin from his belt in his hand again. In addition to the eight characters, there were also a few small characters: Renwu Ren of the Tang Dynasty loves Emperor Zetian. Looking at this line of characters, Li Er let out a long breath, and there were many words on his face.

He gave a hint of smile: "Wu Lang, these words are inappropriate. It is unlucky for an emperor to give himself a title, and it is unlucky to give a title to a dead emperor."

"Let the etiquette department worry about it. This is just a sample, the template has not been made yet!"

"Actually, those eight words are enough." Li Er's tone softened a lot, and Li Yuanxing also nodded slightly. He wouldn't worry about this kind of thing. He could write whatever he liked. He had written so much and said it straightforwardly.

Some of them are just flattering Li Er. Although they are closer than real brothers, there is absolutely no harm in flattering him like this.

The only thing Li Yuanxing didn't expect was that Li Er didn't get the imperial seal.

Li Er put the gold coin in his belt again and walked to the cases with Li Yuanxing.

"Your Majesty, this silver coin is also extremely well-made. I think the image on the one-tael silver coin seems a little inappropriate." Wang Jishan saw that Li Er's expression returned to normal, and asked a question that was not important.

One tael of silver coin, the portrait is none other than Wu Zhao.

Li Yuanxing did not explain, because he did not need to explain. This is the private money of the Qin Prince's Palace. You can give your opinions, and I can listen or not. This is not official money issued by the Tang Dynasty.

Li Er picked up the silver coin, took a look at it, and smiled slightly: "This is the bright moon. Since it is the private money of Prince Wulang's palace, as long as it does not violate the rules, these small details are fine."

Fang Xuanling said at this time: "When the Emperor Long was in Taiyuan, the warrior Xun used his family wealth to recruit troops and horses to help the Emperor raise his army. It is okay to give some honor to the Wu family. I think five silver coins are feasible."

There are three heads on the silver coin, Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, and Wu Zhao.

Because Wu Zhao has the title of princess, it is okay to be ranked first.

Changsun Wuji had been lowering his head since he saw the silver coin. After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, how can I be so virtuous and capable? I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order. I would like to ask Your Highness to modify this silver coin. I think I don’t have enough talent and virtue to accept this honor. I would like to ask Your Highness to revise this money!”

Is this glory?

Li Yuanxing knew that in Europe, a king dreamed of having his face printed on coins.

In the land of China, bamboo slips can be kept for ten years. Many people want to be qualified to erect monuments. If there is an official archway in front of their village, as long as the family is in good condition, they will often renovate it, hoping that it can be erected for a hundred years.

This is money. The King of Qin said that this money is private money. Everyone present will understand that the production is so exquisite that it even exceeds the official money of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Besides, it is private money. It can be said that as much as the King of Qin makes, the people will accept it. There was so much money in circulation that many people even took out the money they had hidden at home and spent it instead to hide the money of the King of Qin.

With a face printed on it, people who spend money will think about whose face is on the money.

What achievements does this man have?

This is definitely a way of making people famous forever. I am afraid that many people would like to have their faces on this money in their dreams.

Although I don't know what else was written on the gold coin of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, just from Li Er's excited expression, Changsun Wuji was afraid. He was not afraid that Li Er would be suspicious of him, but he was afraid that the important officials in the court would be jealous of him.

"You are thinking too much. Let's do this. I will work harder and make more molds with one penny of silver coins. Select the twenty-four meritorious ministers who founded the country, so that the eldest grandson will not be so uneasy when he beats you. I originally wanted to I'm thinking about whether I should choose General Qu as he is a meritorious minister."

Li Er also said: "Wu Lang has a good idea, so you don't have to hesitate. The cost of making molds will be provided for you by my brother. A minister with meritorious service will be remembered forever."

How could Li Er miss such an opportunity? This is an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts.

Li Er sighed in his heart, Wulang, Wulang, you can shake up the court by just doing something, but a small thing like making private money can lead to so many things. I will definitely keep an eye on you in the future, anything you Wulang does will definitely If you have the opportunity to take advantage of it, you must not let it go. At present, nothing can win people's hearts more than Wu Lang's private money. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
