Mi Zhu immediately looked at the coins in his hand again.

A closer look shows that these coins are almost identical not only in terms of pattern lines but also in weight.

It's absolutely fine as a coin.

Mi Zhu immediately realized how important it was for a merchant, and a big merchant, to have gold and silver coins.

As a big businessman, a lot of time to trade large sums of money, that is to ask for a few carts of copper coins.

If there are gold and silver coins, then it is much easier to trade large sums of money.

"Brother Zhang, how many gold and silver coins can you produce? Can it be the same in appearance and weight? Mi Zhu asked again.

Zhang Yu understood what Mi Zhu was worried about, he said: "The appearance and weight are the same, as for how much can be produced, it is completely determined by the raw materials, at present, I have discovered copper and silver mines overseas, and they will soon be able to produce in large quantities." ”

"What? Copper coins you also mint. Mi Zhu cried out in surprise.

Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Tens of millions of copper coins have been minted, but I don't have enough in the Jiangdong region, and I rarely use them outside for the time being, but this gold coin is convenient for foreign trade with silver coins." ”

"Brother Zhang, minting gold coins and silver coins The court is weak and won't say anything, but minting copper coins is simply a rebellion." Mi Zhu said eagerly.

Zhang Yu said unhurriedly: "I have already obtained Liu Xie's holy decree, and the Empress Dowager's decree, I can cast it as much as I want." ”

Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly felt that Zhang Yu was really thinking far ahead, and he quietly minted so many coins.

The copper coin Zhang Yu has already planned to start using it, and some of it has been distributed to see the reaction of the people.

In the past few days, Zhang Yu ordered the intelligence department to pay close attention to the reaction of the people.

Mi Zhu went back full of shock.

Zhang Yu has several major things to be busy with these days.

The first is the commercial war against Xuzhou, the first city will kill all the salt merchants in Xuzhou and monopolize the salt in Xuzhou.

The second big thing was how to launch his own coins.

The first thing has been prepared for a long time, and it will be launched soon, and Zhang Yu has been paying attention to the matter of putting coins.

"My lord, the people are just curious when they receive these copper coins, but almost none of them refuse to accept them." A person in charge of intelligence reported to Zhang Yu.

"Okay, tomorrow I will continue to put millions of copper coins, the area will expand, your people must pay close attention, and any opinions must be reported in time." Zhang Yu said to the man.

"Yes, my lord."

If the release of copper coins is not accepted by the people, then it is useless to mint more.

Therefore, Zhang Yu began to pilot in a small area in the Jiangdong area, and then looked at the reaction of the people.

The new copper coins are re-minted, in a new style, but more beautiful.

Zhang Yu not only asked the intelligence agencies to observe the use of the new copper coins by the people, but he also planned to go out to find out.

"Ning'er, go out with me, and let's try it with this new coin." Zhang Yu had a whim, wanting to take Zhang Ning out shopping, and then see how the people reacted to the new coins.

Zhang Ning had just returned from Liaodong, so he was naturally very happy and was about to go out.

"Ning'er, why don't you change into men's clothes and let's go out together?" Zhang Yu suddenly had a bad taste and asked Zhang Ning to wear men's clothes.

Zhang Ning didn't think about it, so he immediately went back and changed into men's clothes.

"What a handsome little brother."

Zhang Ning changed into men's clothes, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but admire.

Zhang Ning has practiced martial arts since he was a child, in fact, he often wore men's clothes in his early years, because it was convenient for men's clothes to practice martial arts.

After Zhang Ning changed into men's clothes, there was another flavor, which made Zhang Yu confused for a while.

Seeing Zhang Yu's aggressive eyes, Zhang Ning gave him a blank look, she knew that Zhang Yu must have some bad idea in her heart.

The two of them were dressed as ordinary people, like two ordinary scholars, and the two went out alone, without any guards.

The two appeared on the street and then hung out.

Shopping, Zhang Yu rarely has time to go shopping so leisurely in this era.

When I didn't have power before, I went to Xiangyang and Luoyang, but there were some accidents, and it didn't feel good.

The two walked side by side on the street, and they were in a relaxed mood.

The streets are wide and clean, and there are many vendors and shops selling all kinds of things.

"Brother Yu, there are a lot of snacks, let's go buy some." Zhang Ning saw that there were all kinds of snacks sold on the street, so he took Zhang Yu to buy them.

The two wanted to hide their identities, so Zhang Ning called Zhang Yuyuge.

Zhang Yu was also very happy, it was rare to go shopping with a female ticket in later generations, and he followed Zhang Ning to buy food in front of some stalls.

In other words, these snacks are not very tasty, and the culture of eating has not been well developed in this era when eating enough is a problem.

However, many snacks have emerged that were not available before.

After all, some of the early people are now rich.

Zhang Yu took out a new copper coin.

"Boss, two small cakes." Zhang Yu came to a place that sold baked cakes and said to the boss.

The boss took the new copper coin, looked through it, and then accepted it, his movements were natural, and there was no reaction.

This area is the area where Zhang Yu was released earlier.

The boss took the copper coin and didn't say anything, obviously accepting.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Ning went to some places and bought some small items, but there was no refusal.

After shopping for more than an hour, Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu went to a teahouse.

Nowadays, there are teahouses in many places in Koto, after all, tea is very popular in the Koto area.

Entering the teahouse, there were many seats inside, and there were more than 20 tea customers.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Ning found a corner and sat down.

The two of them ordered tea, the kind they brewed themselves, with a small charcoal stove that could be brewed on the spot.

Zhang Yu began to prepare the tea set to make tea.

"Second brother, I have received a lot of new copper coins recently, how about these new copper coins?" Zhang Yu saw Xiao Er bring something over, so he asked.

"We receive a lot of new coins every day, and these new coins are generous and beautifully made, and we are willing to accept them." Xiao Er said to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded secretly.

After Xiao Er left, Zhang Yu began to make tea, and occasionally said a few words of love to Zhang Ning.

After a while, a few people came, they were all dressed in better clothes, and they were a little rich, and Zhang Yu judged that they were some small businessmen.

A few people sat down and began to chat, they were indeed businessmen, they had cooperation with each other or friends, and they came to the teahouse to drink tea and chat.

"Do you know that we have received a lot of new copper coins recently, and it is said that we Jiangdong minted them ourselves." A businessman said mysteriously.

"Well, I've been receiving a lot of them from my shop lately, and I started collecting a few of them, but recently they've been getting more and more."

"It doesn't matter who casts it, the most important thing is that the weight should be sufficient, and it will not depreciate, I heard that Dong Zhuo also cast a lot at the beginning, and forcibly implemented it, but the results are all inferior and worthless."

"What I'm saying is that we little people don't care who casts it, we Jiangdong itself cast it better, but Master Zhang will never pit our people."
