Section 50 Five Baht (1/3)

Liu De's words immediately moved the tears of the craftsmen present, and even the guards around the guards quietly wiped their tears, and even Zheng Quan, the overseer who was originally a little dissatisfied, felt a sour nose and felt a trace of remorse for his past greed for ink.

It is really the simple customs of the people in the early Han Dynasty, and the common people are not as shrewd as later generations.

This era is the best era for actors, but anyone with a little acting skills can be mixed in the political arena.

In his previous life, even after Liu Rong's death, he received the sympathy and pity of the people of Linjiang State.

After Liu Che tossed the good world to his death, he issued an edict to let the people of the world forgive, and some people even felt that this son of heaven was still good, and he could change his mistakes......

After Liu Che died, he actually got a temple number!!!

Liu De felt that although his acting skills at this time were still a little inferior to his imperial grandfather Liu Heng, he should at least be able to wrestle with the starry sky of future generations.

"How humble are our common people, they can be remembered by Emperor Taizong...... a burly craftsman, with tears in his eyes, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed in the direction of Baling: "What a holy son of heaven...... What is the reward for telling me to wait! ”

As long as he thought that a humble craftsman like him had occupied a position in the heart of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, this craftsman suddenly felt that the hardships and tiredness of the past were worth it, even if he was a cow or a horse, he was willing!

Liu De saw that some craftsmen's feelings were about to get out of control, so he hurriedly calmed them down and said, "Everyone, everyone...... Please be quiet and listen to me......"

Liu De finally calmed down the feelings of the craftsmen, and then said: "The merit is more than the high emperor, the virtue is more than the first emperor, the virtue of the first emperor, the mighty, such as the great river, endless, if the towering mountains ......" After saying the correct words, Liu De continued: "In today's world, with four baht coins and half two coins, four baht coins are light and thin, half two coins are heavy and large, all of which are harmful to the people. ”

Saying that, Liu De looked at everyone and said: "It's just that the kid is shallow and doesn't know how to mint money, so I would like to ask you to help me!" ”

Plop, the craftsmen dared to accept Liu De's bow, and knelt down and bowed: "Your Highness is such a big gift, how can the villain and others bear it?" His Royal Highness is so kind, the villain and others are broken bones, and they have to cast five baht coins for His Highness! ”

Liu De nodded, and said with a humble face: "So please leave it to you!" ”

Looking at these craftsmen whose faces were full of passion and drive, Liu De secretly swore in his heart that if one day, he sat on that throne, he would definitely treat these simple people well.

Just because, they are indeed so kind, hardworking, and lovely.

Liu De clapped his hands, called the two eunuchs handed over to him by Li Xin to his side, and instructed: "From today on, you two will show me something here, don't remember to do anything wrong in the name of pretending, don't see profits, fill your own pockets, don't bully the good, do evil!" ”

After saying this, Liu De put on a smiling face and said: "After this matter is completed, I will report to the Son of Heaven and reward you two heavily, do you know?" ”

Previously, these two eunuchs listened to Liu De's instructions, and they were reluctant in their hearts, they were only thinking about the false story, and they could do whatever they wanted as soon as Liu De left, but when they heard that if this matter was done, Liu De would give them two credits, so they immediately restrained those careful thoughts, knelt on the ground and responded: "No, the slave and maid will live up to His Highness's trust!" ”

You must know that the hierarchy among the eunuchs of the palace is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Among the eunuchs, even if they are only one level higher than other eunuchs, the treatment and personal freedom they enjoy are completely the difference between heaven and earth, and they can even decide the life and death of the other party!

Although the eunuchs were greedy for money, they were even more greedy for power.

And the authority of the eunuch comes from the Son of Heaven.

Don't say that Liu De wants to ask for credit for them, but just mention the names of the two of them on the song in the future, for them, they can fight for it at any cost.

After leveling the two eunuchs, Liu De knew that there was no need to worry about the operation and management of this workshop for the time being.

For the sake of that carrot hanging in front of their eyes, they will burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.

So, Liu De walked among the craftsmen again and said to them: "Everyone, let me tell you how to cast this five-baht coin!" ”

"First of all, it is called five baht, its weight should be about five baht...... "In the Han Dynasty, one or two was divided into twenty-four baht, and one tael at this time was about 22-23 grams in later generations, so five baht was almost 3-4 grams, in fact, this kind of money has been equal to the weight of some small denomination coins in later generations. Liu De said as he took out a silk cloth from his bosom and spread it on the ground, on which a circular coin pattern was drawn with an ink pen. Liu De introduced: "Everyone, please look at the pattern, this is the appearance of the five baht coin that the kid thinks, the outer circle and the inner square, the surface of the coin should be kept as smooth as possible, and the words five baht should be engraved on both sides of the coin!" After thinking about it, Liu De added: "If possible, carve some patterns on the top and bottom of the coin to make it easier for people all over the world to identify!" ”

Once the five-baht coin appears, it will inevitably immediately impact the circulation market of the four-baht coin and the half-tael coin.

Don't even think about it, with the urine nature of the Chinese people, it is inevitable to follow the trend and copycat.

Liu De also did not have the conditions when Liu Che issued five baht coins, and he could issue an edict prohibiting private minting by the people with a pat on the head, so he made some signs, lest those coins from the cottage ruin his reputation - God knows if someone would mint some parallel goods mixed with copper in iron?

"It's not that hard!" A craftsman listened to Liu De's request, and then looked at the pattern on the silk book and said: "It's just that in this way, the speed of minting money will inevitably drop greatly, usually I wait a day or can mint 100,000 yuan, but according to His Royal Highness's requirements, I may only be able to mint about 10,000 a day......

Forehead...... When Liu De heard this, he was also slightly stunned.

He immediately understood what the other party meant, originally minting money at this time with the production conditions at this time did not require the appearance of the coin at all, pouring copper water into the money fan is a coin, as for the appearance, as long as it is not too ugly, it is no longer a money-like, basically it is taken out for circulation, and the common people don't care about these.

And now Liu De requires a smooth appearance, and he also has to engrave some patterns as a logo, which is difficult.

It is not difficult to engrave the pattern, and it is almost enough to improve the money fan.

However, it is difficult to have a smooth appearance, and it must be done by hand.

Liu De weighed it in his heart.

Then he said: "10,000 is 10,000, it doesn't matter if you start slowly, the most important thing is to ensure the quality ......"

As a time-traveler, no one in this era understands better than him how important the credibility of the financial industry is.

Fundamentally, the value of a currency is closely related to its own credibility.

Liu De was convinced that the benefits that 10,000 well-minted five-baht coins could bring him should far exceed the 100,000 poorly crafted five-baht coins.

Not to mention......

The political influence and benefits derived from these five baht coins will be his most important wealth in the future.
