"This matter is not only related to the payment I made when I purchased from everyone, but also related to the first military noon that the government soldiers received after they arrived, and the armies of the surrounding small countries. If I hire them, I will definitely have to pay .Everything requires money, and where does the money come from? Everything must be paid out of my coins."

"Copper is the foundation of coinage. Just now, this brother from the Li family asked me why he refused to stand up and argue with everyone about the price? Now I, Gu Tianya, tell the truth, I don't have any energy to argue with you. As long as you quote , as long as your report is not outrageous, then Zhaoning and I will admit it completely."

The entire court hall was silent.

As long as you are a human being, you have a conscience. When everyone heard Gu Tianya's earnest words, how could they not feel a deep sense of respect in their hearts.

However, respect is respect.

In the face of the so-called interests, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, especially these high-ranking court tycoons, and one or two of them belong to the hard-hearted generation.

They did admire Gu Tianya in their hearts, but it didn't prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity.

It was still the official from the Chen family who spoke again, taking up the topic of quotation not long ago, and his tone was faintly tough, obviously worried that Gu Tianya and Zhaoning would not agree.

I just heard this person say without any scruples: "The four county government properties under Chen's control have a total of [-] mu of land. Due to different regions, land prices vary. The value of the East Road is three guan, and the value of the Henan Road Baguan, our Chen family has taken a compromise price for this, and we are going to calculate it based on the price of Siguan for one mu of land."

Several royal families in the hall suddenly became furious, and said sharply: "Fuck your mother, the compromise price should be five guan. You underreported one guan for one mu of land, and 35000 mu is [-] guan. The Chen family of Luoyang You have so much courage, do you really think our Third Sister Xiuning is bullying you?"

However, the official of the Chen family was not afraid at all. He turned his head to look at Gu Tianya and Zhaoning, and said boldly: "That's the price, and there will be no more points. If Lord Gu and Princess Pingyang feel uncomfortable, you can directly send us The Chen family in Luoyang knocked down the dust."

Gu Tianya took a light breath, nodded slowly and said, "Yes!"

Zhaoning immediately stood up, nodded and said, "My princess's husband has already agreed, so we will trade according to your offer. One mu of land, four pennies."

The official of the Chen family was afraid that someone would interrupt him, so he quickly said: "Eighty percent of the government property needs to be handed over to the treasury, and only [-]% is considered private oil and water. In other words, what we need to pay is only [-]%."

Zhaoning nodded again and said, "That's right, [-]%."

"That's [-] Wen?" Chen's officials hurriedly asked again?

Zhaoning glanced at him lightly, nodded for the third time and said: "That's right, it's [-] Wen." He paused slightly, then added: "But this princess has already said before that the payment method I request is It's red copper."

He paused again, and said again with deep meaning: "Before, Lu Guogong was the first to stand up and cut off my private property, and the Cheng family showed more sincerity than you, so this princess gave a discount and only accepted a piece of money from his family." Five hundred wen per mu of land...Your Luoyang Chen family does not have the qualifications, so you must give me eight hundred wen per mu of land."

Officials of the Chen family obviously expected it long ago. Hearing the words, he immediately said: "The princess's 28000 mu of private property, we pay 6 yuan per mu. This account is not difficult to calculate. The total price should be 7000 yuan. Then convert it At the world price of red copper, Luoyang Chen should deliver [-] catties of red copper to you, right?"

Zhaoning smiled coldly, and said lightly: "The accounts are clear!"

The officials of the Chen family cupped their hands and said in a solemn tone: "For the benefit of the family, we have to make a clear calculation."

Zhaoning was noncommittal, but spoke again, saying, "However, there is one thing that the princess needs to explain in advance, that is, the red copper must be delivered as soon as possible. If the delay is too long, don't blame the princess for punishment. I will give you Chen Shi ten ten If you don't see the red copper after ten days, you will be punished. Every day you delay, the price will increase by [-]%."

The officials of the Chen family were taken aback, and hurriedly said: "There are more than 6 catties of red copper. Even an ox cart with a load of 7000 catties needs to be filled with more than 20 carts. From Luoyang to Youzhou, ten days may be... "

Zhaoning interrupted mercilessly, and said: "You can use healthy horses directly instead of ox carts. Each healthy camel carries 200 catties of copper, and you only need more than 300 healthy horses to start the journey. It will take less than ten days to surpass the bullock cart."

"Okay, okay, just use a healthy horse!" Chen's official nodded in agreement with a look of surprise on his face.

At this time, Gu Tianya suddenly heard Gu Tianya speak, and said with a deep meaning: "Actually, the red copper does not need to be transported to Youzhou, but to Gujia Village in Hebei Road. From Luoyang to Gujia Village, it only takes three days for a healthy horse to arrive. Zhaoning gave you ten days just now, including the time you spent purchasing and preparing the goods."

The officials of the Chen family laughed, and said proudly, "It's just more than 6 catties of red copper, and there's no need to go out and buy it. Looking at the various families and powerful families in the Tang Dynasty, anyone can get it out of their warehouses."

Gu Tianya nodded and said with a smile: "This is better, and it can help me buy some time."

But the official from the Chen family suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking tentatively with hesitation: "You just said that you want to transport the red copper to Gu's Village?"

Gu Tianya glanced at him with a smile, and said: "The place where the coin is minted is located in my hometown. As for why it is located there, you should have a clear understanding in your heart."

As soon as these words were said, not only the complexion of the officials of the Chen family changed.

All the civil and military officials present were startled, and someone subconsciously asked cautiously: "From what you said just now, could it be that the old man is going to help you mint coins?"

Who is that old man?

Now Papa Gu's identity is no longer a secret.

At the very least, the higher-ups of Datang knew that the 'vicious' exiled immortal had been living in seclusion in Gujia Village.

coin!

Exile!

At this moment, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all shocked, and they had vaguely thought of something.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya laughed loudly, and directly revealed the answer to everyone: "You guessed right, the coin was minted by my father himself. As for why he was invited to do it, I think everyone present should be able to understand."

He paused slightly as he spoke, his tone suddenly became a little 'proud', and he deliberately pretended to be 'proud' and said: "Looking at the past dynasties, there have been cases of private casting of coins in any dynasty, and why there are private castings? Its willingness is nothing more than that the coins minted by officials are easy to imitate."

"That's why I, Gu Tianya, thought of my father. If the old man uses a fairy artifact in his hand to mint coins, then after the coins are minted, I can guarantee that no one in the world can imitate them..."

There is no fool who can enter the court, and everyone can predict the significance of this matter.

I only heard a civil servant speak solemnly, and said with longing on his face: "This means that the value of the new coin minted by Lord Gu will be extremely strong. Because it not only uses sufficient materials, but also cannot be imitated by the people. Once the coin is settled If the problem of private casting is solved, it will definitely become everyone's pursuit."

The man stopped talking, and suddenly his eyes sparkled. He stared at Gu Tianya, his tone clearly showed excitement, and he said loudly: "Lord Gu, you have previously stated that you want to buy armor from us. Then, my servant I would like to ask, can you pay with new currency when you buy armor?"

Gu Tianya laughed loudly, and said: "As you said, Gu Tianya's original intention is also."

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately became excited.

They will be the first batch of people to get new coins.

The first batch of new coins, also known as the first minted coins, not only use solid materials, but also have special commemorative significance.Many people present have already begun to think in their hearts that they will definitely not spend the new coins after they get them, but will directly hide them in the treasury at home, leaving them as family heirlooms for their children and grandchildren.

The atmosphere in the entire court hall became active.

This kind of activity is very special, because it reveals a surprise of chasing profit, but they never thought that what Gu Tianya wants them to breed is not surprise at all...

But fanaticism!

Gu Tianya turned around abruptly, and shouted softly towards the door of the main hall, "Chang'e, are you there? You can come in! Take out the several new coins and mother money in your hand, and let all the good friends who are present today Take a look. They are civil servants and military generals of the Tang Dynasty, and they are qualified to witness the new generation of coins in advance!"

uh-huh!

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were obviously taken aback.

They just heard a certain word from Gu Tianya, which is "several kinds of coins and mother money". What does it mean?This means that there is more than one type of new currency.

Someone finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and cautiously opened his mouth to test: "Lord Gu, what kind of mother money did you use to speak just now? This, does this mean..."

Gu Tianya gave him a meaningful look, and said with a leisurely smile, "My sister will be here soon, and the surprise will be revealed immediately."

While he was speaking, a figure flashed at the entrance of the main hall, and it was Gu Chang'e who floated in, but no one expected that there would be several women following behind.

The first woman turned out to be Li Jiancheng's wife Zheng Guanyin.But she was holding a wooden box in her hand, which was covered with golden silk, which looked full of mystery and extravagance.

The second woman surprised everyone. It turned out to be Empress Changsun. She also held a wooden box in her hand, which was still covered with golden yellow silk, which once again set off the mystery of what was inside.

Then Xiaoqing and Xiaorou, as well as Tan Xiao, Songzan Ayu, and the four concubines of the Gu family followed closely behind.

In their hands, they all held a wooden box.

Chapter 372 [Coins finally debut]

At this time, it was already the end of Chen Shi, which meant that the early dynasty lasted for a full two hours.

In normal times, the ministers would have looked tired, but this time it was different, everyone looked energetic.

Gu Chang'e's personality is extremely straightforward, she doesn't like to play tricks like Gu Tianya, or it should be said that Gu Chang'e doesn't need to play tricks at all.

Based on her reputation as an exiled immortal, once she stands out, she is a noble existence. If she plays tricks on her, she will fall into inferior status.

Precisely at this moment, a ray of sunlight shot in from outside the main hall door, and even more coincidentally, this ray of sunlight happened to shine on Gu Chang'e.

Bathed in the morning light, she smiled leisurely.

However, just this smile is like a pearl blooming brilliance.

All the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty trembled in their hearts, and suddenly the famous poem from the ages popped up in their minds: "There are beauties in the north, who are peerless and independent. They can captivate the city with a smile, and captivate the country with a smile."

Shock, sometimes it is so simple.

……

Zhaoning suddenly poked Gu Tianya with his finger, and said in a low voice, "You bastard, you are really nothing. In order to highlight the shock of the new currency, you even used your own sister."

Gu Tianya was startled for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "This time you have wrongly blamed me, I have no such intention at all."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Zhaoning looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Tianya put on a posture of righteous speech, and said without shame: "As honest as I am, I never lie."

"I bother!"

Zhaoning spat at him lightly, gouged out his eyes hard, and said with a sneer, "If anyone believes your nonsense, you will surely be sold by you and count the money for you."

Gu Tianya smirked in a low voice.

Zhaoning stopped looking at him, turned to look at Gu Chang'e, suddenly sighed softly, and said inexplicably: "This girl's sweet smile will probably make many ministers startled... Tianya, you must Remember, you must never act like this again in the future. Our sister's face is too lethal, and there might be troubles."

This time Gu Tianya looked serious, nodded slowly and said: "You are right, I also discovered this hidden danger. Just now this girl just smiled slightly, but the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court popped out. That is a kind of man Only by seeing extreme beauty can there be a sense of amazement, and this amazement often translates into an extremely strong possessive desire."

Zhaoning sighed again, and said softly, "Fortunately, sister Chang'e is powerful in force."

Gu Tianya pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "From now on, I will try my best not to let this girl show her face again."

Zhaoning gave a 'huh', and said as if she had made up her mind: "In the future, I will keep an eye on it and help this girl avoid all kinds of cumbersome things. Lest some blind people think that they have a good status, relying on I just want to come to our house to propose marriage..."

Gu Tianya was obviously taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Are you planning to keep her at home forever? How can a girl stay at her mother's house forever?"

Zhaoning hummed, turned to look at Gu Tianya, and said, "My mother-in-law has hinted to me a long time ago that our girl can live for a long time. Maybe 100 years, maybe 1000 years. As long as she lives one day, she will be The patron saint of the Gu family... how can I let someone else marry such a patron saint. She must stay at home and let her protect the descendants of the Gu family forever. "

Gu Tianya opened his mouth, but he couldn't find any excuses for a moment. After a long time, he said softly, "It's unfair to Chang'e that you do this."

It's a pity that his words were like sinking into the sea, and Zhaoning didn't pay any attention to them at all.

……

The two of them whispered to each other, and there was a storm in the hall.

Seeing Gu Chang'e bathed in the morning light, she suddenly walked up to Zheng Guanyin's side gracefully and said, "Sister-in-law Zheng Guanyin, you are the first to show the new coins."

Zheng Guanyin was once the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she was the princess for nine years.Regardless of experience or knowledge, or self-cultivation and demeanor, everything can be called the first, and the court is not enough to make her intimidated.

She held the wooden box with one hand, uncovered the golden silk on it with the other hand, and then gracefully took out a coin from the wooden box under the longing eyes of all court civil and military officials.

The coin didn't look that big, but the sunlight from the main hall just happened to shine in. Zheng Guanyin held the coin and placed it under the sunlight, making it shine with a unique light that is unique to newly minted coins.

After finishing this move, she put the coin in the palm of her hand, then held it flat in her palm, and walked step by step in the hall.

Every time she walked in front of a minister, she would hold the coin in front of the other person's eyes for a look, and there were gradually countless sounds of surprise and praise in the entire court hall.

"Good guy, is this the new currency? The thickness is really thick, and the material is really solid."

"Also, the casting process. Have you noticed just now that this new coin does not look like something that can be minted in the world. It looks seamless, and both the wording and the seal are beautiful. This , This, this seems to be a natural thing, and there is no trace of fireworks in the world."

"Hmph, don't you only pay attention to the materials and craftsmanship of the coins? Why doesn't anyone pay attention to the characters on the coins?"

"The old man saw it clearly just now. The wording of this coin is extremely sharp. It is not only golden hook and iron strokes, but also vigorous and powerful. It seems that there is a kind of rebelliousness in the bones, and it seems that there is a kind of heroic blood hidden. It makes people see it at a glance. After that, a sense of majesty suddenly appeared in my heart.”

"Really? You're not always exaggerating, are you?"

"You can see the implication just by scribbling the words?"

"Bah! How many years have you juniors been eating?"

"Don't look at the fact that the two of you are already senior members of the third and fourth ranks. It seems that the official position can be regarded as an important minister. But the two of you are only high-ranking officials, and you are far behind in terms of knowledge...Young people, after all, you are lacking A lot of background."

"You two question the old man's praise of the new currency's text, but do you know who wrote the text on it? If the old man read it right just now, the text is clearly written by that person back then."

"The one from back then?"

"The teacher of the Great Sui Emperor, the heaven and man descended from the earth. Back then, he not only taught Sui Yang Emperor knowledge, but also had countless important ministers of the Sui Dynasty sitting and listening to him. Even a well-educated Confucian should be an obedient student in front of him."

"Hiss! It turned out to be that one."

……

Zheng Guanyin took the coin and walked around the court, so that all the civil and military officials in the court could clearly see the coin in her hand.It caused countless surprises, and the whole hall was buzzing.

Finally, she walked to Gu Tianya's side, gently put the coin in Gu Tianya's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, I would like to thank you. I will help you show this first coin, maybe it will be famous in history books Hey, when your coins are promoted all over the world in the future and become the currency of the Han people from generation to generation, my sister-in-law, as the first person to display the coins today, may be recorded in the book by historians.”

Gu Tianya laughed, and said: "You don't have to wait until later, I guess it will be soon. You may not have noticed just now that several officials in the court have been whispering. If my guess is correct, they are planning to put it in the book."

"Really?" Zheng Guanyin smiled lightly and said, "Then sister-in-law is looking forward to it even more."

Although she said that she was looking forward to it, she did not show the impatience of an ordinary woman. Instead, she changed the topic slightly, and then changed it to the coins again, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is a woman who lives in seclusion all the year round and is not good at speech, so Ah, the rest can't help you."
