If you want to prevent counterfeiting of coins, you must first make the coins precise!
The more delicate something is, the more difficult it is to forge.
Therefore, money and silver coins are bound to be slightly larger than copper coins. They are arranged in order of coin size. From small to large, they are copper coins, silver coins, and money.
They have the same appearance, but the patterns on the coins are different.
On the front of the money, "Datang Zhenguan Gold Treasure" is engraved in a fan shape, next to the round edge of the money. On the bottom, there is a pattern and the year when the money was made.
For example, it was made in the fifth year of Zhenguan.
On the back, the Tang numeral serial number is marked, and the rest is painted with patterns.
Silver coins are like money, but they have to be engraved as "Datang Zhenguan Silver Treasure".
Secondly, it is necessary to make specified standards in terms of weight, money and silver coins.
For example, what is the fixed diameter of money, what is the fixed diameter of silver coins, what is the length of the side of the 'inner square', etc.
Nowadays, in order to keep up with the emperor's footsteps, many officials spontaneously learn Tang numerals, as well as the formulas for calculating the area, volume, and perimeter of some figures.
Keep this in mind, and you will know whoever imitates it in the future as soon as you catch it.
As for whether every coin can be made to an incomparable standard, Li Zhiyun is still very confident about this, because no one is more rigorous than the craftsmen in the Weihe Workshop. And with the fine coin molds produced in recent years, it is enough make it happen.
Finally, a law was issued to warn the people of the world that anyone who dared to forge coins would be directly exiled and their homes confiscated.
The standards were formulated and the details were perfected. Not long after, Li Zhiyun formally raised the matter at the court. Several prime ministers agreed, and Yang Gongren, who did not agree much, also remained silent. The matter was carried out naturally.
When the Tang Dynasty was preparing to reform the currency system, something small but not small was happening in Silla, far away on the peninsula.
King Zhenping had a stroke.
At the age of King Kim Baekjeong of Silla, a stroke is equivalent to declaring chronic death. It doesn't matter whether Kim Baekjeong dies or not. Anyway, Silla will not be unable to continue to operate just because Kim Baekjeong dies.
The key is that this old guy has no son!
This is a really big problem, a very big problem. If you don’t have a son, what will you do with the throne? Should it be passed on to outsiders?
This definitely won’t work!
Jincheng.
All the members of Silla's royal family, big and small, gathered together, waiting for their fate to be pronounced. The old king was about to die, and the new king was bound to take over.
But who is the new king? No one knows!
The old man has been in office for more than fifty years, but he can't give birth to a son. It's really a fucking joke.
Just because the old man has no son, the members of the royal family are all ready to take action. What if, what if such a good thing happens to them?
Just thinking about it makes me feel elated.
Silla is not a small country among the three peninsula countries, and its national strength is still quite good. Kim Baekjeong did not do anything random during the fifty-four years of his reign. He watched the civil strife in Goguryeo, and King Buyeo Jang of Baekje became an otaku. But God gave Silla a great opportunity to rise.
If anyone ascends to power at this time, he will definitely rise to the top in one step, and he will definitely not be the "last king" of Silla.
Who wouldn't be moved if I left it alone?
royal palace.
Jin Baijing seemed to know that his stroke would speed up his burping, so he quickly called in his confidants to discuss the important matter of his successor.
"Everyone, who do you think can be king of Silla?"
Jin Baijing looked sickly as he looked at Jin Shuxuan, Jin Yuxin, and his younger brother, King Gewen and Jin Guofan.
These are currently his three most trusted ministers.
They all considered this issue for a long time, and finally the three of them reached a consensus.
"Princess Deman will inherit the throne!" Jin Yuxin replied solemnly.
The three of them thought about it for a long time and felt that it would not work no matter which branch of the royal family they chose to take the position.
The reason why it doesn't work is definitely not because I'm worried about being taken over by that person.
They are loyal!
Yes, absolute loyalty, because Silla is now surrounded by ferocious tigers, and the three of them must work together to defend the foundation.
Therefore, they need Princess Deman to support them!
Neither can anyone else!
After thinking about this clearly, Jin Shuxuan and the others suddenly felt that they were great, bright and upright, and they were rare and loyal ministers!
Jin Baijing hesitated and said: "But our country has never had a female king."
Jin Guofan said: "Brother Wang, please rest assured. With us here, we will be able to make Princess Deman command Silla with integrity."
Jin Baijing is not an idiot. After being the king for so many years, he can clearly see the mentality of these three people, but he cannot say this, otherwise his daughters will die.
So, he said: "I will seriously consider your suggestions. King Gewen, go and summon Deman."
"yes."
The three of them nodded expressionlessly. In their view, it didn't matter whether Jin Baijing agreed or not, because they must support Kinderman to ascend to power.
This is definitely not because of myself, but for Silla, yes, for Silla!
Not long after, Kinderman and Jin Guofan returned.
At this time, there were only three of them in the room.
Jin Baijing first said to his brother Jin Guofan: "King Gewen, I have just thought carefully and decided to pass the throne to Deman. You and I are brothers, and I cannot trust the Jin family and his son. Although they have the blood of the Silla royal family,
But after all, I am an outsider, and only you are my true relative.
I hope that when Zideman succeeds to the throne, you will protect her. If anything happens, you can replace her with Deman. In this way, the throne will still be in the hands of our family.
I hope my brother will save Deman's life."
Kim Baek-jeong has been the king of Silla for more than fifty years, so he is certainly not a political idiot. He really doesn't believe in Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Yu-shin and his son, for fear that they will replace them.
Why?
Because Kim Yu Shin is younger than him!
Jin Yuxin's mother, Mrs. Wanming, was the daughter of King Lizong Gewen, and Jin Baijing's mother, Mrs. Wanhu, was also the daughter of King Lizong Gewen.
Although Jin Yuxin is a little bastard from Yehe, they are of the same generation and are both grandsons of King Gewen, the founder of the clan.
It is not impossible if Jin Yuxin takes over the power in the DPRK and seizes the throne in the future. Because Jin Yuxin also has royal blood.
After all, King Lizong Gewen was the younger brother of King Faxing and the father of King Zhenxing.
Although he knew that his brother Jin Guofan also had ambitions, this was his younger brother after all. Unlike Jin Yuxin, that wild little bastard, he was one of his own.
Jin Guofan burst into tears when he heard his elder brother's words.
He supported his niece to rise to power, not to gain power, but more because he was worried that other members of the royal family would kill him if they rose to power.
Now that my eldest brother is saying this, how can he not be moved?
"Brother Wang, you know that your subordinates are incompetent. How can you govern Silla in the future? Now that the Jin family and his son have great authority, I can't do anything. I can only cooperate with my full strength to protect myself."
Listening to what her father and Uncle Wang said, Kinderman looked sad. She had been told by Uncle Wang that she might inherit the throne. Now that she heard that the power struggle in the country was so dangerous, how could her daughter's family not feel sad?
Jin Baijing said: "I have a plan to keep you safe."
"What's the plan?" Jin Guofan asked quickly.
"Tang Dynasty!"
"Tang Dynasty?" Jin Guofan didn't understand.
Jin Baijing didn't expect his younger brother to figure it out, so he explained: "Now the Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world. As long as you can get the support of the Tang Dynasty and form a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, the Jin family and his son will have concerns and not dare to do anything. In time,
You can slowly take control of the power in the country."
"But Brother Wang, how are we going to marry the Tang Dynasty?" Jin Guofan asked a question that could make Jin Baijing faint.
You actually have to ask him this kind of question?
Well, it's all his own fault, and he shouldn't have raised this younger brother up to be a loser.
