Chapter 343
The oracle fell like thunder!
The imperial decree came out of the imperial palace, and then spread throughout Chang'an City like the wind. The courtiers in Chang'an City have already known the news, but the news is really aimed at the Shandong countries, where private money is minted. main location.

The speed of Liu Heng's implementation of the policy was really too fast. Before the kings and tyrants of Shandong had time to react, Chang'an and even the entire Guanzhong had already reached an agreement on this point and sent the imperial decree to the counties and counties of the kingdoms.

But everyone knows that the promulgation of the imperial decree is only the first step. If the imperial decree cannot be truly implemented, the final outcome will be that the imperial court will be left in despair.

As a result, a new picket division was established, which belongs to one of the Nine Ministers, one of the chief ministers, and is dedicated to cracking down on those who mint counterfeit coins and those who violate the rules and regulations of the imperial court. .

The princes, kings, tyrants and students of the Shandong kingdoms reacted differently to the edict issued by the imperial court.

Some students directly said: "For decades, the world has been prosperous, and the copper content in the coins is extremely high. Why should such a good law be discarded? I don't accept it. It must be that there are treacherous people in the court to deceive Your Majesty."

"Does Your Majesty know the voice of the world?"

Someone else said impassionedly: "If Your Majesty knows about this and insists on going his own way, isn't this the act of a lonely husband?"

Then the debate in Changle Palace that day spread through certain channels, and the whole Shandong fell into silence for an instant.

Students are still able to retreat because of reason.

However, those groups who can benefit from the coinage are full of anger. Reform has been difficult since ancient times, because the groups that benefit will definitely block it in every possible way, and these vested interests often have decisive power. These people always It can't make things happen, but it can make things bad.

Just like the current big Han, the princes and kings may not be the opponents of the imperial court, but they have the ability to incite the people to rebel and even make Shandong corrupt.

Once that step has been reached, it is not the princes and powerful people who are opposed to the court, but the endless common people, because the princes and powerful people did not break the law, but the common people did.

Even if the court knew that there was a ghost in it, what could it do?

It is still necessary to suppress those rebellious people, and even needs the help of local princes and powerful people. Once borrowed, can the reform succeed?

Now the princes and powerful people are very angry. The imperial court wants to take away our wealth with a single imperial edict?
It's just a dream!
Especially Liu's vassal kings and Marquis Che were furious against Yingtian, angrily yelling: "They are all descendants of Emperor Gao, we have made meritorious deeds in defending the land, if the imperial court wants to take back the coins, it should be taken back.

But we are not allowed to cast it privately. The imperial court uses copper, and we also use copper. Your money is money, and my money is not money?
Where in the world is there such a truth!

This is something only husbands do. "

However, although these people scolded fiercely, they were very conscientious physically, and did not dare to directly raise troops like the Huainan and Wu countries in the past.

Because these people are actually a minority in Shandong, their strength is not strong enough.

This is a misunderstanding of many people, that is, they think that after the imperial court deregulates, everyone can make money, so there should be many princes and powerful people who make money.

In fact, in the early days, all kinds of money were circulating in the market, and all the princes and tycoons wanted to come over to get a share, but the common people could decide whether to collect money by themselves, so after decades of competition, those coins cost high, and the coins Copper coins with poor quality have been automatically eliminated by the market.

Only the coins with the best appearance and the highest copper content are left, and the only way for bad coins is to recast them.

Therefore, there are only a very small number of great princes and kings left who really make money by casting money, and those who stand behind some powerful and united big tyrants.

But even if these people are united, they are still extremely weak in the face of the court.

Unable to fight against the imperial court, and unwilling to give up the interests in his hands, the undercurrents below are more and more swarming.

A lot of evil feelings breed in it, like piled up firewood, waiting for an opportunity to burn completely, either directly burn themselves to ashes, or throw up the ashes of the court.

After the imperial edict was issued, the feelings of the previous group of people were completely different. Those princes and powerful men who had previously lost in the coinage struggle were simply ecstatic.

It's not easy to make fake coins mixed with base metals, but those bastards who rely on Tongshan to make real money rolls?
The people living in this land have hundreds of years of experience in making counterfeit coins. Although the tools were rusted back then, they can still be used after being polished, and the craftsmanship of that year is still preserved.

Now we are waiting for the court to issue a new standard money, and then take it back directly to melt away the poor money.

"Ye Qian", "Yu Qian", "Crispy Money".

These familiar coins will be recirculated across the world, and our glory days are back!
Countless people seem to have seen countless money pouring into their pockets like flowing water. Under the temptation of huge interests, the newly established large department of business and picketing is ignored by everyone.

The newly promulgated "Han Qian Law" was also left behind.

Naturally, some people were worried: "The imperial court seems to attach great importance to this matter. Will this really not anger the imperial court?"

Then he got a completely unexpected answer: "We have done a lot of things that violated the Han Law, even killing people, why don't we still stand here?

Even if the sun in the sky had shadows that it couldn't shine, even if the emperor of Chang'an wanted to be like the sun, there was still a corner in Shandong that it couldn't shine.

Breaking the law?

It's a crime if you catch it!

Empress Gao and King Luo Wen failed to do anything to us when they were in power. How can he, an emperor who has just ascended the throne not long ago, treat us?

We are all relatives of the Han Dynasty, and they are the ones who defend his throne. Are we not willing to give up this little profit?

Then he will be betrayed! "

What he said was arrogant and sincere at the same time, highlighting a fearlessness and righteousness.

Inside and outside the words, there is a tone of Shandong Tiangao Emperor Yuan, this is not Guanzhong, we have the final say here.

When imperial envoys come here, they must be careful of bandits and water bandits. If they can't go back, it will be bad.

While many people were watching, the imperial court began to throw copper coins made by the imperial court into Chang'an.

The size and specifications of coins used in ancient times were very particular. Money with too high value and money with too low value were not easy to pass.

Liu Heng still remembered what Luo Xin told him back then. When the coins were minted, the quality was very high. These new coins were beautifully made. The most important thing was that there were borders on the edges of the coins, which could effectively prevent the edges from being cut.

In the old days, half taels of Qin State, every seven or eight half taels of money, one and a half taels of money can be recast after cutting the edges, and as a result, all the people in the world use this kind of residual money, and the people suffer greatly from it. Luoxin has repeatedly Having told Liu Heng about these things, he is now minting money, of course he can't let the people of the world suffer like this again.

Moreover, the weight of these coins is very suitable, and they are coins that are very suitable for circulation. There are two characters "Tianhan" on the coins, so they are called "Tianhan coins". Confused, they sang the emperor's kindness one after another.

In Changle Palace, Luo Jing reported to Liu Heng what he had observed, "Your Majesty, Tianhan money is still very popular among the common people, and the edges of Tianhan money cannot be trimmed.

However, if someone privately finances and casts poor money, it will still be hard to guard against. No one in Chang'an City would dare to make a move. Guanzhong is more interested in the royal family. The big clans dare not act rashly.

But something will happen in Shandong. You want to live in Chang'an, and it is not convenient to travel. After a while, when things get serious, I want to go to Shandong for you to take a look and take a walk. "

The Guanzhong of this world line is much more cohesive than the Guanzhong of the original world line where Ji Zhao is located. After the migration of the Luo people and the Chu people, and the Mausoleum of King Su is here, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in the past have already passed. It was about to be washed into eight hundred miles of Luochuan Chushui.

The rule of the Han court here is quite stable, especially at present, the Han court has not yet had a very bad ruler, and the lives of the people here are thriving.

Hearing that Luo Jing wanted to go to Shandong, Liu Heng said worriedly: "Ah Jing, it's not that I don't want you to go to Shandong, but the situation in Shandong is really complicated. It is difficult to compete with the imperial court.

But if they play some insidious tricks and take risks, and cause you any damage, I will be ashamed for the rest of my life.

My uncle has assisted me for more than ten years. I serve him as my father and treat you as my younger brother. If something happens to you, how can I have the face to see my uncle after a hundred years? "

Liu Heng is still very clear about the political chaos in Shandong. It is a completely different world from Guanzhong. Not only the princes and princes, but even the county guards and county magistrates directly under the imperial court are involved.

When Luo Xin was alive, these people were very obedient, and Luo Xin's policies were also implemented through these people, but Liu Heng's prestige was not enough after he came to power, so naturally some people's small thoughts began to move.

Under such circumstances, how could he be at ease if Luo Jing was sent to a dangerous place like Shandong.

Liu Heng's worries are very reasonable in other eras. Ji Zhao doesn't pay attention to the human world most of the time, and even if Luo's son is in danger, there is no time to rescue him.

Moreover, blood and sacrifice are the choices of the family's children, just like those Luo's sons who died in battle in the past.

Unless they ask for help, Ji Zhao never interferes with their choice of their own destiny.

But this era is different. Luo Ling, the human god, sits in Zhaocheng, and he cares about the life of Luo Shizi very much.

Luo Jing laughed softly when he heard Liu Heng's words: "Your Majesty, there are brave warriors protecting the minister, so the minister has no worries."

----

The emperor of the Han Empire wanted to take back the power of minting currency to the royal family, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the high-ranking nobles in the East, including the king and some senior lords. At the same time, some large merchant groups tried to hinder the implementation of the imperial decree. In this case, The Emperor of the Empire appointed his most trusted confidant, and also his cousin, a court marquis of noble birth, to go east to spy on the high-ranking lords. ——"Empire Glory·Han Empire"
