The Ming coinage adopts the production process of Yuan Datou during the Republic of China, and the production method is also derived from the economic foundation that he carried.

Yuan Datou accounts for 89% silver, 10% copper, and 1% tin, and it is this kind of metal material and proportion that creates Yuan Datou's good ductility and elasticity.

"I don't think it's a bother to cast the front of this coin, just cast the head of Emperor Taizu, but there is no need to worry about the issuance of new currency, the top priority is the selection of officials." Liu Hong gradually played with the coin.

In fact, Liu Hongji's idea of issuing a new currency is far more than just to facilitate private circulation, and he has long set his sights on overseas.

The Ming controlled the entire South Seas, almost two-thirds of the world's spice producing areas, plus the Ming Dynasty's own hard currencies such as tea, silk, and porcelain, and the Europa people could only trade in the Ming way.

Only after the paper money and coinage became popular in the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court could issue a hard-core proclamation, for example, all trade between the countries of Europa and the Ming Dynasty must use the Ming banknote as the only designated currency.

Not only the Ming Dynasty itself, but also including but not limited to the many spice islands in the South Seas controlled by the Ming Dynasty, Malacca, and Northern Europe Europa.

As long as it is trading in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is trading with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to use the paper money of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a strong army as a support, and the Europa people cannot do without spices and silk, and can only cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.

According to Liu Hongchuan's idea, the imperial court would set up a central bank after stabilization, which would be responsible for the issuance of banknotes and coinage, and then set up government-run redemption points in major cities and ports in the interior to be responsible for the exchange of Ming currency.

It is conceivable that once the whole world is imperceptibly recognizing the currency of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming banknotes will be as strong as the dollar in later generations, which is not a weapon.

"You don't have to worry about the selection of officials, don't I still have Han Aiqing, the first assistant of the cabinet? What's more, Brother Liu has repeatedly said that Daming has never lacked scholars who want to be officials.

In less than ten days, the court will become full of talents, which I know in my heart. Zhu Cihong said eloquently.

"You must not be so hasty in the future, otherwise you will lose your credibility as a monarch, and you will not be an example." Liu Hong gradually admonished.

How can a boss fire all employees at every turn, so what will make the applicant think? Xiao Zhu is really getting more and more sloppy in doing things, which is no different from when he first crossed over to Daming.

"Also, those old ministers have no merit and hard work for officials in their lives, and those who should be sealed must be sealed, anyway, they are just some false titles, and they can't chill the hearts of the people in the world."

You can see that after this incident, the court is no longer a hall of Confucian scholars, and then the military science, engineering, science and other talents will stand proudly on the court, and the Ming government will become stronger and stronger.

"I know, how can Brother Liu be as nagging as his father." Zhu Cihong said disapprenously.

"Hmph, your wings are stiff, yes, you have to be busy next, I don't bother you anymore, I'll go back if there's nothing to do." After speaking, Liu Hongjian planned to get up and go home.

"By the way, Brother Liu, I heard that your county prince's mansion has set up a private school, and I want to send all the children to study with you, no problem, right?" Zhu Cihong suddenly said behind Liu Hong's back, his voice slightly tentative.

"How many?" Liu Hong gradually frowned.

"Not much, only eight or nine people over the age of four." Zhu Cihong said modestly.

"It's not much, my family only has five babies if you count the old man who has just completed the moon, and I am doing this private school for you?" Liu Hong gradually said unhappily, according to incomplete estimates, Zhu Cihong has worked hard in the past few years, and his children have broken through the 30th mark.

"No! You must pay tuition, 10,000 taels a year for a baby! The more Liu Hong thought about it, the more unhappy he became, so he simply opened his mouth.

"Gotcha! Deal! The silver will be deducted from the dividends of Xishan Shanghe, but it has not been divided for more than half a year, Brother Liu, you are not authentic, when will the rest of the silver be sent, hey! Brother Liu, don't go......"

Liu Hongji's private school was built halfway up the West Mountain, and it was not that Liu Hongjian treated his children differently from the students of the College of Engineering and the Jiangwutang, which required 14 years of age to be admitted.

That is, before the age of fourteen, he still needs to learn comprehensive knowledge in the nearest county school, but there are the best teachings in the Ming Dynasty in the lecture hall of the College of Engineering, and Liu Hongchuan naturally refuses to waste it.

As the head of Wutang and the head of the College of Engineering, he asked the teachers of various disciplines to come to Xishan every day to teach the children according to the curriculum schedule, and the teaching content was naturally gradual, and the course content was also discussed and determined by Liu Honggradually and the teachers.

According to language, mathematics, nature, and morality, it can be said that children can have a preliminary understanding of the world, which can be described as tailor-made.

The Liu family's current school-age children are only the eldest Ling Feng and his two younger sisters Ling Xue and Ling Yu, but the area of the private school is not small, including classrooms, laboratories, playgrounds, public toilets, and teaching offices, which occupy a large piece of land.

In addition to the three children of the Liu family and the nine children of Zhu Cihong, the Xishan Private School is also open to the children of the guard battalion, the craftsmen of the Xishan Ordnance Institute, and the commoners, but it is limited to the scale, except for the Liu family and the royal family, there are quota restrictions, which are distributed according to the contributions made, and there is no distinction between men and women.

According to Liu Hongji's idea, whether it is his children or Zhu Cihong's children, they should not be treated differently when they were children, and letting them go to school with the children of ordinary people is more beneficial to their growth.

Liu Honggradually didn't want his children to be in the high pavilion since he was a child, and he didn't want the successor of the Ming Dynasty to be a poor worm who could only do things, didn't know the suffering of the people, and had been plotting with a dark face since he was a child.

Half a month later, the Xishan private school officially opened, and Zhu Cihong's nine children temporarily lived in the county king's mansion because they were far away from home, and the county king's mansion never had a peaceful day.

With the arrival of the first snow in the north and the arrival of the New Year, three months passed in a hurry, and the court and the common people were riveting their efforts to develop industry and production, and a powerful empire was rejuvenated like never before.

In February of the fifth year of Taishun, Liu Hongjian officially stepped down as generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and handed over power to the staff headquarters headed by Zhu Cihong.

In March of the third year of Taishun, Zhu Cihong, the emperor of the Ming Empire, issued a holy decree to announce to the world that the Ming Dynasty would issue a new version of the currency, and at the same time abolish the trading of gold, silver and copper coins, and the people of the world were in chaos for a time.
