Chapter 1019 Resolute Li Zhi
He raised his head: "What's wrong? Xiaozhi looked unhappy. Didn't he think it wasn't yours, and he felt itchy again?" Li Zhi had a stern face, but after hearing what I said, he was stunned on the spot, and then pointed at me with a laugh and cry, "Brother Jun, aren't you making fun of me? I can't see a few golden cakes, but I just looked at these currencies made by Xu Manzi. Look at the currency round or square, you can tell that it is some sub-products, and the casting process is not as good as the copper coins of our Tang Dynasty. Look at the shadow of the man above, like a ghost, and there are some messy patterns on it. Humph, ugly!"
After Li Zhi said this, I understood, jealousy. Li Zhi's eyes were full of jealousy. It was definitely not jealous of the coining techniques of Western barbarians, nor was it jealous of the gold and silver coins in my hand. I think it was jealous of the Western barbarians who were even embarrassed to print their fur faces on the coins. It was really hateful and annoying.
Knowing his thoughts, I took Li Zhi as a reference and felt more confident in my heart that Uncle Li was saying. At this time, Li Shen was studying the artworks I designed, which were far more beautiful than the gold coins of those Western barbarians. There were Chinese characters arranged in arc shapes at the edge of the coins: the 32nd year of the Tang Dynasty and the 23rd year of Zhenguan.
Below is a row of slightly larger Chinese characters: Long live the Tang Empire. As for the center, it is naturally the face of Uncle Li who smiles evilly. On the back is a national emblem similar to Uncle Li’s head in front, and on the edge is the peony petals that the Tang people love the most, and under the national emblem. It is also noted that the interests of the Tang Empire are above everything else.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful, and at least I explained the meanings of the above things at the edge of the currency in detail to them, their interest became even more enthusiastic. "It's so beautiful, and Brother Jun, you have a good idea. In the 32nd year of the Tang Dynasty and the 23rd year of Zhenguan, it not only marked the years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but also marked the years of my father's rule very clearly. It's great." Li Zhi kept poking his fingers over and over. In that way, he wanted to dig a hole in this drawing, take away the drawings and store them at home.
"Such a beautiful thing, Brother Jun, have you made a sample? Don't hide it and hold it. We brothers know that Master, you are a man, and you always like to throw good things out in the end." Li Zhi shook at me with a lewd smile. Li Shen next to me was also greedy and very honest.
------------------------------------------------
My big hands spread out: "Didn't you see my teacher look unhappy when you enter the door? Just thinking about whether to do it or not. After talking to your father, do you come in first? Or make a sample first and then present it to your father. When you both worry about this, you two rushed in."
Do it! This is the answer given to me by the two princes, and Li Shen and Li Zhi both looked determined. "Don't hesitate. Brother Jun. This thing will definitely make my father happy. Besides, you have said that such a gold coin transaction, especially for bulk transactions and transactions, is naturally quite suitable."
"But this matter is a bit of a headache. Will your father be willing to carve the portrait on this coin?" What should I do if others touch it and feel uncomfortable? Moreover, what if other officials attack me with such a thing that is not a big deal and say that I am insulting Tianyan or damaging Tianwei or something?
Seeing that my master, who never cared about doing things on weekdays, is now so hesitant that he looks like a young wife, and naturally guesses what I think in my heart, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "Does Jun'er think that my father is such a vulgar?"
"I can't say that your father is, but this does not mean that no one dares to talk about this. You should also know that although the teacher is far away from the government, those who don't like him can line up from Weinan to Liaodong Road." I frowned and smiled bitterly. What is the land thing I do? Reform, what is reform, means a stage, to suppress and seize the interests of a part of the group, can it not attract people to hate?
God knows how many people are waiting to grasp my shortcomings openly and secretly, and then jump out to make trouble. Just like some time ago, several princes came to Weinan together and did not return to Chang'an for several days. Chu Suiliang, a thousand-killed man, came to impeach this young master to instigate the prince to contact the people, which was to belittle the status of the royal family's children. After hearing this news, I was so angry that I almost took the Shisuo from Weinan to his house, and tied the old turtle and Shisuo together to throw it into the Wei River.
Fortunately, Uncle Li not only regarded Chu Suiliang's words as farts, but also asked him to organize the calligraphy of famous calligraphers from the previous dynasty collected by the royal family. Now everyone knows that Uncle Li is clearly protecting me and does not like people to gossip in front of him, so he becomes much quieter. But if he wants to do something, it may be annoying again.
"It's okay! Master, this matter is to be pointed out to Xiaozhi. Humph, even if my father doesn't want to, Xiaozhi will definitely mint these coins in the future so that the Western barbarians can take a good look at the currency making technology of our Tang Dynasty..." Li Zhi jumped out and volunteered to do this with his chest. This is nice to say, but in fact, he was on Uncle Li's desk. With Uncle Li's IQ, he would not know that this thing was inspired by me.
However, since the prince actually jumped out as a whistleblower, it would naturally be a hundred times better than letting me be scolded by this young man who traveled through time. After all, no one dared to have trouble with the prince Li Zhi, which would arouse the jealousy of the future Emperor of Tang. At that time, they would be the one who suffers. In addition, the most important thing is that Li Zhi, the young man, likes to show off his little face. This is normal. If Uncle Li can agree, then Li Zhi will naturally have something to say in the future. It doesn’t matter if he follows the ancestors’ system and prints his own face and butt, at least it is much more handsome than the faces of those Western barbarians.
If you do it, then do it. Anyway, the value of a gold or silver coin is not something I can determine, but it depends on market demand. Moreover, now we are just experimenting to lay the foundation for the future and make it better. If Uncle Li or the court does not like it, it is better. We will only create a thousand pieces and use it as a collection in the future. When it comes to future generations, it may be another new archaeological discovery in the century.
------------------------------------------------
Since I have decided, I will do it first, but the gold must be placed first. Well, I paid two kilograms of gold. As participants, the two princes also asked me to stake out one kilogram of gold and five kilograms of silver each. It's almost done, this can make a lot of gold and silver coins.
Ten days later, the sample coins were released, worthy of being the Tang Dynasty Wushu Research Institute. The sample made was called exquisite. Uncle Li's portrait was vivid and vivid. In contrast, the gold coins of the Western barbarian placed next to it were really invisible. He wanted to spit out to express his disgust.
This thing was naturally carefully placed into the small box covered with red silk that Li Zhi was holding. The gold and silver coins were neatly arranged. Although there was no square coin hole for threading in the middle, it seemed even more unique because of this. It made people feel itchy and wanted to put it in my pocket and not take it out. The clock next to me reluctantly said goodbye with my eyes. After Li Zhi took the lead and reached out to touch the shiny gold and silver coins.
After touching it for several times, Li Zhi swallowed, raised his face, and looked greedy: "This box really can't be filled. Brother Jun, look, why don't we take it and play with the rest first, and it's not too late to make trouble at that time. You said, right? Hehehe..." Since Li Zhi was so thoughtful, this young master and Li Shen next to him would not fall behind. The three investors who invested in the refining of coins were shameless and took five gold and silver coins and put them in their pockets.
After entering the palace and inquiring at Qifeng Pavilion, I realized that Uncle Li was watching Qiujing with his old friend Yuchi Jingde on the edge of Taiye Lake. Well, since he is Uncle Yuchi, then you are not afraid. Anyway, you just need to be those talkative civil officials, or those shameless veterans chattering around.
From afar, I saw a loft in front of me that was suspended in Taiye Pool by six concrete pillars. The loft was hexagonal, and six giant stone pillars were used as support for the outside. In the rest, only the low bottom was inlaid with wooden strips, and the entire wall was inlaid with large pieces of glass. The entire attic looked transparent and tight on the six sides. In fact, the temperature inside and outside was different. This was a winter viewing pavilion designed by Fangzhu specifically for Uncle Li.
