"So I'm waiting!" In just one hour, this news was known to almost all the officials in Beijing and above the Thousand Stones.

For most people, whether Shen Tujia is dead or alive has little to do with him.

At most, someone sighed twice.

But another piece of news made it impossible for these people to sit still.

"Your Majesty wants to abolish half a tael, eight baht, four baht, three baht, and only use five baht as a money?" Countless people were a little distracted by the news coming out of this Weiyang Palace.

Unexpectedly, the first person to react to this news was the doctor from the hundred schools of Zhuzi.

Especially the doctors of Confucianism.

"Today, the Han family is unified, the universe is peaceful, it should be the same car, the same book, the same government, and the same money system!" Dong Zhongshu said to his disciples in the bus office, and then bowed his hand in the direction of Weiyang Palace: "The head of state is clear, the humerus is good!" The government of this holy king is also celebrated by the world! ”

Great unification is Dong Zhongshu's banner, Dong Zhongshu's benchmark, and Dong Zhongshu's concept.

"Your Majesty except for his money, this is the way of kingship!" Hu Wusheng next door also appealed to his disciples: "Since the Han Dynasty, people from the city have been making money and boiling salt, which has been a disaster for the world for 60 years. ”

As the current number one faction within Confucianism, Gongyang Studies has always advocated 'micro-words and great righteousness'.

And compared with other factions, Ramology is more practical and focuses on the world.

Therefore, the study of the ram developed rapidly in the Han Dynasty.

In twenty or thirty years, all other internal competitors were defeated, and its sworn rival, the Gu Liang faction, was even wiped out in many counties in the Kanto region, and the Taoist system was threatened to be cut off.

On the other side of the bus office, Zhang Hui, a Legalist magnate who was lecturing to his disciples, also got the news. Then, he put down the book and said: "Since Shang Jun Shen Han, my Legalist has always talked about the 'teaching of doing the best of the earth' to practice the law of strengthening the country, except for the five beetles, and expand the territory. Fortunately, the saint is in power, except for miscellaneous money, and the original is really a blessing for the world! ”

So-called, the ass determines the head.

The position of the two schools of Confucianism and France, at this moment, when faced with a common enemy, the merchant, immediately reached an agreement.

However, several giants of Huang Laoxue heard the news. Quite surprised.

The old Huang school has never advocated easy changes in policies, laws, and systems.

They are used to working on old rules and regulations, and if the policies change constantly, it will make them feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, in people's impression, Huang Lao is mainly conservative and conservative.

The famous debate between Yuan Gusheng and Huang Sheng about the righteousness of the Shangtang Revolution vividly illustrates the attitude of the old Huang faction in terms of ideology and economic policy: no matter how old the so-called hat is, it still has to be worn on the head. No matter how new your shoes are, you have to step on them.

This notion extends to ideology. That is: the upper and lower are humble and unshakable, the king is the king, the minister is the minister, the common people will always be the common people, and the nobles will always be the nobles.

And when it comes to economics and policy. It becomes: the law cannot be lightly changed, the order cannot be taken lightly, in other words, it is better to never change any existing policy.

The Son of Heaven rules vertically, and the world is naturally peaceful.

So. The old Huang school was later overthrown by Confucianism and has never been the mainstream ever since, and it is not without reason.

However, none of these giants of Huang Laoxue dared to speak at this time, let alone criticize the policies of the Son of Heaven.

The reason is simple.

Huang Laoxue followed the high-level line, and they were closely attached to the Liu regime. They either relied on the East Palace to eat, or they relied on the Weiyang Palace to make a fortune.

It is equivalent to a royal literati in the system.

When have you ever seen a royal literati and rulers say goodbye?

What's more, the old Liu family has been in the family for 60 years, and there are four generations of emperors, so that everyone is used to the problem that the Liu family loves to toss.

Since Hanxing, almost every other generation, the laws and policies of the country have to be renovated.

Therefore, in line with the attitude of self-preservation and the concept of 'eating the king's lu, loyal to the king'.

Instead of obeying their instincts and objecting to this, these Huang Laoxue giants said some good things.

In this way, the mainstream factions among the three major factions that dominated the public opinion of the Han dynasty quickly set their own tone and sang praises to the Son of Heaven for the reform of the unified numismatic system.

………………………………

The reactions of the princes were different.

"Your Majesty wants to unify the money?" When many lieges returned home and saw the copy of the edict of the Son of Heaven sent down from Lantai, they reacted immediately.

Although the edict of the Son of Heaven is ostensibly soliciting opinions, everyone knows that this is actually telling the ministers in an open fire: Eight baht coins, four baht coins, three baht coins, I am not happy that these coins have been grabbing the market with my five baht coins for a long time, everyone look at it.

Many people looked up in the direction of Weiyang Palace and took a deep breath.

Abolishing the circulation of other lines of money, in fact, many people have long expected that such a day will come.

When he was not even a prince, he was minting five baht coins.

His plot to unify the coins with five baht coins is well known.

Therefore, smart people, as early as a year ago or even two years ago, secretly exchanged other money in their hands for five baht coins, gold and other things that could maintain their value by various means.

Moreover, the marquis of the Han family has a habit.

That is desperate, hoarding gold by all means and means.

For the princes, the coin is superfluous to them.

They have feudal food, retainers, domestic slaves, state servants, and official residences, and when they need money, they really don't have much!

Nor would a liege hoard too many coins at home - too much would be useless, and it would be better to exchange them for yellow-orange-orange cuties and store them in the cellar, which is elegant and decent.

But this was only for most of the princes.

In this world, there are always some people who are not willing to eat honestly.

Especially those who are in high positions, hold power, and have close ties to the royal family.

Using power to enrich oneself and get benefits for oneself can be regarded as somewhat conscientious.

Sitting at home every year, collecting 'filial piety' from the old, doormen, and subordinates, and escorting these guys at the same time, I don't know how many.

Guangping Hou Xue Ze is such a guy.

Xue Ze's grandfather was Xue Ou, the fierce general of the Han army who fought with Xiang Yu's general Zhong Li.

After the Han Dynasty, the status of the old Xue family in the Han family has been very stable.

Xue Ze's father, Jing Hou Xue Shan, once served as Huainan Xiang, Henan Shou, Shaofu Supervisor and other positions.

Passed on to Xue Ze's generation, Xue Ze served as the lieutenant of Jingfu for a long time.

What kind of official position is Kyofu Governor?

You can understand it as the later director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and the commander of the armed police in North China.

It is in charge of the public security and fire protection of Chang'an and Guanzhong counties, and sometimes acts as the Administration for Industry and Commerce to help the cities abuse their power and deal with those disobedient thorns.

Therefore, the oil and water for this position is very much.

After Xue Ze served as the lieutenant of Jingfu for five years, someone once proposed at the court meeting: Guangping Hou is still very capable, and such a young and promising minister should be put in more important positions, such as the county guard or something.

Xue Ze immediately stood up and politely refused, saying that he was only shallow in learning and had little morality, and he was young, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to govern the place.

But in fact......

Xue Ze is reluctant to be the commander of Jingfu, a position that can bring him at least a thousand gold extra money every year!

As the saying goes, take people with short hands, eat people with soft mouths, and clouds: take people's money and eliminate disasters with people.

Although Xue Ze's own family doesn't mint money, his friends all mint money!

What's more, behind the meaning of the Son of Heaven's words this time, there is more than just a discussion of the issue of unified coins.

It is also related to the plan of the princes and nobles to throw their backlog of bad money to the people to take over.

If it was before the autumn harvest, the imperial court had made a plan to abolish other money.

So, will the people still recognize bad coins such as four baht and three baht?

I'm afraid that by that time, they won't even approve of the eight baht!

Thinking like this, Xue Ze decided that no matter what, he had to find a way to drag down the plan of the Son of Heaven.

It will be delayed until October at least.

By that time, the coins in everyone's homes had basically been thrown to the people.

Even if the Son of Heaven wanted to abolish other coins, it would have nothing to do with it.

More importantly, Xue Ze felt that by doing so, he would be valued by many bigwigs, and the merchants would be more heartily grateful.

This year's filial piety must be several percent more! (To be continued......)
