Chapter 1800: Political news of the ancient covenant
"It takes three years to mint enough usable coins."
"In five years, the currency system will be unified."
"Well enough."
"This year, I will be in charge of the area south of the Yangtze River. According to the mineral deposits explored by General Mengwu and others, there are also copper and iron mines."
"The national government and the Mint Administration will also send people there at that time to mint the coins for their own use."
Qin's banliang actually followed Qin east out of Shandong and passed through the Xia. After destroying Han, half a liang was used in the land of old Han. The same goes for destroying Zhao and destroying Yan.
Moreover, there are official orders from the government.
However, the size of half a tael varies in size and weight. If you want to replace them all, it will take a certain amount of time. Five years... is enough.
"yes!"
The chief historian nodded.
The area south of the Yangtze River is under the jurisdiction of the Marquis of Wuzhen County, and everyone in the temple dynasty knows it, so there must be a need to use a new half-liang coin.
"Keep these things safe."
"If it is lost, the guilt will be heavy."
There doesn't seem to be much going on here at the Mint Office.
Unifying Zhuxia Banliangqian is just the beginning. As for the problems that may arise next, Jiangnan is a good pilot.
In the meantime, it's not too late to take your time.
"Here!"
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they all bowed deeply. Sure enough, there was something wrong with Qian Fan. According to the rules of the Mint Administration, if he was negligent, he would directly kill the nine tribes.
If it is stolen by others, not only the person who stole it will be killed by the nine tribes, but also the people in the village will be killed. The crime is very serious.
Therefore, this thing is sealed in the deepest part of the office, and there are three keys. If a single person wants to open it, it is almost impossible to open it.

"In the past two days, a large number of people from the prince's mansion left Xianyang and headed to the south of the Yangtze River."
"Li'er realized this and ordered the young man to select dozens of beauties. The attendants thought they would serve him. The prince... why didn't he refuse this time?"
Inside Xingle Palace.
Since the New Year's Day meeting, Ying Zheng has gradually adapted to high-intensity document processing, and many important state affairs have been awarded one by one.
Looking at the emperor's younger brother who had nothing to do today, he smiled.
A few days ago, we naturally understood what happened in the emperor's brother's house. Bai Qianhong and the other stunning ladies around the emperor's brother left Xianyang Palace, and many people were missing from the house.
I also mentioned this matter to Li'er, and Li'er sat down to make a decision.
Dozens of beauties were selected from the young mansion and the palace, and the deft waiters sent them over. I thought the emperor's younger brother would refuse, but unexpectedly he accepted them directly.
"Hahaha, the land of Jiangnan is in need of people right now."
"If Mrs. Li is willing to select hundreds or thousands of people from the palace, Xuanqing will be even more happy."
Zhou Qing’s laughter.
There were indeed many more people in the house, and he did not refuse.
Those people are not needed by themselves, and the remaining people in the mansion are enough to keep the operation going, although they have lost a lot of honor compared to the title of Duke and Marquis.
Zhou Qing didn't care.
Gongsun Li sent dozens of people, who happily accepted them, and then returned to Jiangnan and settled down directly.
"Hundreds and thousands of people?"
"You are so open-minded. I have ordered the young master to find a suitable place in Weinan to build a new imperial palace."
"Xianyang Palace was built under the supervision of Lord Shang himself. Although it is very large, it only conforms to the previous Great Qin and is not consistent with today's Great Qin."
Ying Zheng laughed dumbly.
But for this reason, I thought it was other reasons.
There are indeed few people in the land south of the Yangtze River.
But the people in the emperor's brother's house are simply not enough.
What's more, if you build a brand new palace next, you will also need a large number of palace ladies to fill it. The new palace will far surpass Xianyang Palace.
It will be much, much bigger than that.
"New court?"
"Well, when the new imperial palace is built, there will be more and more people here in Guanzhong. In a few years, there will be hundreds of thousands more people north of the Wei River."
"It will be even more crowded by then."
"Having a new imperial palace can also open up a new atmosphere. If it works well, it can also promote the circulation of all industries in Guanzhong."
Brother Huang has mentioned this topic once before.
If nothing else, it is the Epang Palace of the ages. As for whether it still has that name, I don’t know.
In the original years, one of the important reasons for the construction of Afang Palace was that Xianyang in Guanzhong was overcrowded and overcrowded.
But now, that crowded situation has been brought forward a long, long time.
On the contrary, the emperor's brother had this intention early.
The construction of the new imperial palace will require a large amount of building materials, and businesses here in Guanzhong will surely circulate a lot very quickly.
"With your lazy temperament, it would be difficult for you to take the initiative to come to Xianyang Palace if I hadn't called you."
"Are you here to take Dongjun's disciple away?"
"Xi'er!"
"That child... I like him too. He should be combing the flowers and herbs in the imperial garden with Dong Jun right now."
"At this time of year, without the Yin Yang family's means, the Royal Garden would indeed lose a lot of its beauty."
He stood up from the throne, walked towards the palace, and looked at his younger brother.
The emperor's younger brother seemed to like the disciple next to Dongjun very much. He had been staying in the mansion for several months, if the identity of the child hadn't been clear.
Ying Zheng thought it might be the fault of the emperor's younger brother and Dong Jun.
Regarding the matter between the emperor's younger brother and Dongjun, he naturally knew that Dongjun... was indeed stunningly beautiful, and coupled with his extremely high level of cultivation, it was unlikely that ordinary people would be able to control it.
He's the emperor's younger brother.
"Coming here today, there is really something going on."
"I think His Majesty will be interested in it."
Zhou Qingyue.
He looked at the emperor's brother and bowed to him. Entering the palace today was not only for Xi'er, but also because of the ancient agreement between Xingchen.
A few months ago, he had already planned to inform his royal brother about this matter.
But at that time, the State of Qin had just conquered the Shandong states, and there were many important civil and military affairs in the country. Now... all the major events have been completed, and the opportunity has naturally come.
"oh?"
"Talk about it."
"Follow me to the Royal Garden and talk as you walk."
"Now that Miss Qianhong and the others are heading to the land south of the Yangtze River, I think the palace will be quite deserted. Li Zhong, pass on my command to summon Miss Nongyu and Taoist Xiao Mengzi to enter the palace."
"Shangshifang prepare some drinks, I'm having a family dinner today!"
Wearing black brocade clothes, with her hair tied up and crowned, she looked at the emperor's younger brother. She didn't expect that something really happened. Based on her understanding of the emperor's younger brother, she could be told such a thing by the emperor's younger brother.
Absolutely unusual.
Feeling something in her heart, she turned her body slightly and walked toward the back exit of Xingle Palace, which leads directly to the Imperial Garden. It was just around noon, and Li'er and Dongjun were still there.
"Here!"
Wei Wei Li Zhong, who has always had a weak sense of presence, responded.
"What Xuan Qing wants to say is really far-reaching."
"Your Majesty is free today, so let's talk about it in detail."
"This matter... begins with Shen Yu at the beginning of the third generation."
"In ancient times, King Yu saw the secrets from the sky and was inspired by the gods to divide the nine states with a giant ax. Before the nine states were divided, the land of the Xia was not as vast and fertile as it is now."
"According to ancient records, hundreds of tribes coexisted in the Xia Dynasty."
"Such as the Four Spirits of Heaven, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, as well as the iron-eating beasts in Xuanqing Mansion, Yasu... they all truly exist."
"……."
Zhou Qing accompanied the emperor's brother.
He spoke softly and told the origins of the ancient covenant of stars one by one.
The thing is not difficult to say, but... it is a tricky thing.
The First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was in front of him, listening with great interest, but... as the emperor's younger brother said one thing after another, each secret was revealed.
A solemn look appeared on his face unconsciously, and the pace beneath him slowed down a lot.
