The most eye-catching thing in October was probably the King of Chu got married.

The princess is the daughter of Ying Zushining, the attendant of Sanqi, and was born in the Lotus clan. She has a family of 2,000 stones. Although she is not as good as those three princes of the four generations.

It is not easy for families such as two generations and three ministers to win, but the success of the family is that they have lasted for a long time and will not fall.

Now the tenth generation seems to have a possibility of going further and it is extremely prosperous.

The new General Guangwei (from the fourth rank) Zu Yue returned from Huainan and gave him a great gift: many Southeast objects, priced at millions.

All the relatives and princesses also arrived.

General Shao Shen of the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guard gave a pair of jade bi, fifty good horses and several gold and silver utensils to his cousin.

The eldest princess Chengyang and his wife came from Yangxia with a son and a daughter, and presented millions of gifts.

The King of Qi and his wife also arrived. Princess Liu was pregnant with Liu Jia and held Zu's hand and said something for a long time.

King Shao of Chu felt a little forced to smile.

The wife is beautiful and talented, but not what he wants.

The emperor and the empress also gave gifts, but before getting married, they had taken them out to entertain guests today: hundreds of kilograms of tea produced in Yiyang County.

After decades of spread, scholars in the world have gradually become more and more likely to drink tea.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin, it was only popular among the wealthy families and famous people.

In the late Jin Dynasty, this trend became more and more popular, and more officials and officials drank tea every day.

Today, I am also a tea lover. No matter what occasion I appear, I often treat guests with tea and wine. With his efforts, the tea drinking group has expanded again.

At this time, even the prefect and county magistrate like to buy this item, either cook it and drink it by yourself, or entertain guests.

After the guests gave the gift, most of them were not qualified to stay and had to leave. Of course, some were able to stay, but they felt that they were too bored, so they decided to slip away, such as Shao Du.

He is the eldest son of Shao Shen, the prince of Julu County, and his mother Du.

The fifteen-year-old boy is already tall and strong, almost as tall as his father.

This is normal, too.

Although Shao Shen was benefited from his uncle Shao Xun, he suffered more than ten years of hardship. However, Shao Du, who was born in the Yongjia period, has been a big fish and meat since he was young.

I also like to dance with guns and sticks, and I have a natural and strong figure.

Shao Du followed a few followers, basically the sons and nephews of the evil boys when his father was in Ganchengwu, one by one after the Zhongwu Army was disbanded.

Those people were basically converted into military officers.

Seeing Yuan Dan at this moment, he laughed and said, "When will Yan Dao go south?"

"I want to follow you." Yuan Dan bowed and said, "It depends on when your highness will leave, maybe it's the beginning of the winter moon."

"I can't leave in the beginning of the winter moon." Shao Du said, "Uncle wants to be salty, but he can't leave until he finishes the three big tanks."

When Yuan Dan heard this, his face almost twitched.

Why do this guy say anything? The founding king was blocked in the palace to make pickles. Do you still want to say that his pickles are immediately hung with pickles to dry?

"What's the matter?" Yuan Dan asked after he calmed down.

"Take me to play with some pussys," Shao Du said with a smile.

Yuan Dan turned around and left.

"Oh, don't worry." Shao Du chased after him and said helplessly: "I will go to the Shaofu in a few days. If you play again, you will probably be interrupted by the grandfather."

"Others play for money, what is your thing?" Yuan Dan stopped and asked.

Shao Du felt a little embarrassed and said, "It's quite interesting to call me in the house."

Yuan Dan smiled and said, "When I win all your money, you will feel bored."

Shao Du was stunned at first, and then sighed, "That's right, let alone I don't have much money."

"You have to go to the Shaofu?" Yuan Dan asked.

"Be a clerk, take care of a few coin stoves." Shao Du replied.

"What money is cast?"

"Do you know that Emperor Wu of Han's "third platinum"?" Shao Du asked.

"What?" Yuan Dan was shocked: "This Hanwu plunders the people's wealth, and it will be abolished after more than a year. Can you "Don't be surprised?" Shao Du said: "Your Majesty is not so greedy for money, it's just like this thing."

The so-called "three platinum products" are a currency issued by Emperor Wu of Han, one by one, which is considered to be a legal currency.

The material is said to be silver-tin alloy, but in fact it is mainly tin or lead, and there is very little silver.

There are three types of "silver" coins, one is called "Bai Zhuan", which is 3,000 coins; the other is 3,000 coins without names, each with 500 coins and 300 coins.

At that time, people commonly called dragon coins, RMBs, and turtle coins. There was no hole in the middle and could not be worn with ropes. Each had dragon, horse, and turtle patterns. There was a circle of foreign characters on the back of the dragon coins, but they didn't know which country it was.

Emperor Wu of Han also knew that is the same as robbery, so he made a good fortune, first discovered white deer in the garden, and then caught horned beasts in the suburbs...—

Simply put, the sacred nature of artificially creating new currency is believed that "the heaven is as good as the dragon, the earth is as good as the horse, and the man is as good as the turtle". There are three pieces in a set, so it is called "three platinum".

But the world is material, and the people found that the third platinum 3 products were almost all lead and there was very little silver, so they cast it privately.

For a time, the whole country made counterfeit coins, and the whole world was in full swing. "There are countless officials and civilians who stole platinum and cast platinum." In the end, hundreds of thousands of counterfeit coins were released from prison, and more than one million surrendered people were pardoned.

There is only one reason for the failure of issuing three-grade legal currency in 100 gold: Emperor Wu of Han was too greedy.

You issue fiat currency and collect some seigniorage tax, 5%, 10%, etc. No problem, everyone does not have to risk taking the risk of death for this benefit. There are countless transactions in this world that have higher returns than 10%.

But is it too much for you to use eight liang of lead to cheat everyone's 3,000 and five zhu coins?

You forcibly stipulate that one dragon coin is three thousand coins. Okay, I don’t object. I will also mint this money. How should you deal with it?

So, if you cast a silver coin, you can make money on the weight and make some benefits, but you can't deviate too far. This is what Yuan Dan is worried about.

"The Shaofu originally wanted to cast three coins for dragons, horses, and turtles, but wasn't this smelly by Emperor Wu of Han? "Shao Du said, then he took out a round silver coin from his pocket and said, "The Shaofu only casts dragon coins, Zhu Ti silver nine, tin one, weighing four taels (less than 56 grams), and it is ten thousand coins."

Yuan Dan took the silver coin and looked carefully. There was a dragon pattern on the front, and there were two stamps on the back.

Then he silently calculated that if it was Zhu Tiyin, which was very good, it would be worth about 9,600 Kaiping Tongbao.

Now this dragon coin weighs four taels, and it is also a silver nine and tin one. It is also forced to stipulate that it is directly 10,000 yuan. The court did make money, but it didn't make much money. It is not worth taking the risk of beheading and minting it privately unless you can directly contact the silver pit.

But there is still a problem now. Zhuti Yin had dried up in the late Han Dynasty, and there may be some small silver pits everywhere, but they are not as grand as Zhuti Yin's grand occasion back then.

Therefore, even if this kind of dragon coins can be accepted by the people of the world, they cannot be cast much and are completely inadequate to use. They will be given to their ministers as rewards.

In the past, Guo Xiu, the surrendered general of Cao Wei, assassinated Fei Yi. After his death, he was posthumously named Changle Township Marquis. His son inherited the title and gave him a thousand pieces of silk and silver cakes.

This silver cake is a reward.

Of course, strictly speaking, there is still a difference. The silver cakes rewarded by Cao Wei are not coins, unlike the "third platinum rank" of Emperor Wu of Han and the "dragon coins" today. They are clearly stipulated that they are coins, and those who stole the minting will die.

Yuan Dan stuffed the dragon coins back into Shao Du's hand and smiled and said, "It's just ten thousand yuan, but it's just a day's money."

"Zeng Zishao's daily eclipse of 20,000 yuan, I don't know how to eat it." Shao Du sighed, "I wanted to eat deer tail last time, and my mother asked me to wait half a month before buying it."

"Mrs. Du is virtuous when he has enough wealth but not extravagance." Yuan Dan sighed and then asked again, "How much has this money been cast?"

"It's just a thousand pieces." Shao Du said, "After I go to work, I'll ask if I'll cast it."

"What's the use?" Yuan Danqi said: "Pudu won and lost millions in a game. Which of the more famous rich merchants does not have a wealth of thousands of guan or tens of thousands of guan? One thousand dragon coins is only ten thousand guan. If you ask Wen Qinzhou to take it to the gambling table, you will lose in one day."

Shao Du couldn't help laughing and could only say, "I don't know either, I just acted on orders."

Yuan Dan stood there silently, thinking carefully.

To be honest, he is quite interested, even more interested than winning ones.

Why do you still need to mint even though you know that the dragon coins are not enough? These thousand coins will disappear in the blink of an eye, and they will not even sound like a splash, and from now on may not appear on the market.

In fact, it was not only Yuan Dan, but the young master Yu who was having a banquet in the King of Chu's mansion, didn't understand very well.

The emperor felt that he was greedy and stupid, and often he was unwilling to talk too much, which made him confused.

After drinking so much that he was drowsy, Yu Shu was helped back.

The next morning, Shao Xun and Yu Wenjun were already sitting in the main hall.

The newlyweds come to worship together.

Shao Xun observed it and said that his second son Shao, who had forced a smile yesterday, had a much better expression. His daughter-in-law Zu Shi looked shy and looked more beautiful than a flower.

Shao Xun sighed a little.

Before he knew it, he had reached this age.

In a few months, the first grandson or granddaughter will be born, and it is a dream to think about it.

Yu Wenjun gently held his hand.

Shao Xun came to his senses, looked at the newlyweds and said, "The beauty is a couple and she is a good marriage. This is a congratulations. You and your wife will support each other in the future and make a promise to celebrate their old age."

The two responded together.

Shao Xun looked at his second son and said, "Since you are newly married, please stay in Luojing next month."

"Father." Shao immediately said, "I wish to accompany you to travel south and share your worries for your father."
