Chapter 113: The Threat of the Great Yan Dynasty

Nanyan was aggrieved in his heart, when he heard Ye Xu's voice coming from the side: "You two, isn't it hot standing under the sun?" ”

Looking back, he was holding a huge tray covered with a bright yellow piece of satin, and was struggling to speak.

The two hurriedly turned around: "Lord Ye." ”

"Ye Xu."

Ye Zhen also smiled and said, "Lord Jane, the female officer, you are polite." As he spoke, he looked at Si Nanyan again: "Are you okay?" ”

Jian Ruocheng was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Nanyan: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Nanyan hurriedly waved his hand, after all, he didn't have face to say such a thing as being spanked, so he only said perfunctorily: "It's okay." By the way, Ye Chen, what are you holding? ”

Ye Zhen walked over, and before he could answer, he heard Zhu Feng's cold voice from the Wuying Palace-

"How many words do you have to say outside?"

The three of them were startled when they heard him speak, and hurriedly walked in and knelt down to salute.

Zhu Feng was sitting behind the table, looking at some letters, and only then did he look up at them, and his eyes fell on Nanyan's body.

"Why are you here?"

"Slave maid - slave maid wants to come and see."

"You get up."

Nanyan hurriedly got up from the ground, his movements were swift, and his butt didn't hurt at all. Zhu Feng glanced at her again, then ignored her, and only said to Ye Zhen and Jian Ruocheng: "You guys are even." ”

Only then did the two of them stand up.

"Tell me something."

Ye Zhen took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the first batch of coinage in this dynasty, and I just took it from the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Oh."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Present it." ”

Ye Zhen hurriedly held the tray up, and he reached out and lifted the silk on it.

Nanyan couldn't help but stretch his neck to look.

I saw that there were thousands of copper coins neatly stacked on the wide tray, bright and shiny, with the words "Da Yan Tongbao" written on it, which he wrote personally, and in addition to being neat, there was also a kind of vigor.

Ye Zhen said: "Because this batch of copper coins is the first batch, the ratio of copper and lead is six to four, and one million pieces are minted. ”

Zhu Feng picked one up and checked it, heavy.

He nodded, "Okay." ”

Seeing him gently fiddle with the copper coin with his fingers, Jian Ruocheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

"You say."

"I just heard Lord Ye say that the ratio of copper coins in the first batch of coins is six to four, is this inappropriate?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Nowadays, the copper ore that the imperial court can mine is very scarce, and I am afraid that there is not much left for such a large proportion of coinage; In addition, these coins circulate to the people in the market, and I am afraid that those traitors will buy them in large quantities and melt the money to cast copper, and when the time comesβ€”"

When Ye Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly, and said, "Jian Youcheng-"

Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and then said to Jian Ruocheng: "I know what you mean, the proportion of copper is too high, and it is indeed harmful to the people. However, this is the first batch of money, and it is related to the face of my Great Yan Dynasty. ”

With that, he threw the coin back onto the tray.

"The next batch, let's do it upside down."

When Jian Ruocheng heard him say this, he immediately knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise." ”

Zhu Feng waved his hand, asked Ye Zhen to put the heavy tray aside, and asked, "Jian Youcheng, you came over today, what's the matter?" ”

"Wechen is here, there is an important matter to report."

"Speak."

"King Jing wrote that the southern Yue Kingdom once again invaded our borders."

Zhu Feng's brows suddenly furrowed.

For a long time, in the north of the Great Yan Dynasty, there is a powerful and fierce kingdom, they are good at riding and archery, and have invaded the frontier several times, since he was named the king of Yan, for more than ten years, he has been fighting against the kingdom in the north.

However, the threat of the Great Yan Dynasty did not come only from the north.
