Nan Yan was feeling aggrieved when she heard Ye Zheng's voice from beside her: "Both of you, isn't it hot to stand under the sun?"
Looking back, he was holding a huge tray covered with a piece of bright yellow silk, and was struggling to speak.
The two turned around hastily: "Master Ye."
"Ye Zheng."
Ye Zheng also smiled and said: "Master Jian, Miss Si, please be polite." After speaking, he looked at Si Nanyan again: "Are you alright?"
Jian Ruocheng was taken aback, then turned to look at Nan Yan: "What's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan waved her hands hastily. After all, it would be embarrassing for her to be spanked, so she just said perfunctorily, "It's okay. By the way, Ye Zheng, what are you holding?"
Ye Zheng walked over, and before he could answer, he heard Zhu Feng's cold voice from the Hall of Martial Heroes—
"How much do you have to say outside?"
When the three of them heard him speak, they were all startled, and they hurried in and knelt down to salute.
Zhu Feng was sitting behind the table, reading some letters. At this moment, he raised his head and glanced at them, and his eyes fell on Nan Yan.
"How did you come here?"
"Slaves—slaves want to come and have a look."
"Get up."
Nan Yan hurriedly got up from the ground, her movements were swift, and her butt didn't hurt at all. Zhu Feng glanced at her again, then ignored her, and only said to Ye Zheng and Jian Ruocheng, "You two are at peace."
The two just stood up.
"What's the matter, tell me."
Ye Zheng took a step forward, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the first batch of minted coins in this dynasty, and they just got it from the Ministry of Industry."
"oh."
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Submit it."
Ye Zheng hurriedly carried the tray up, he stretched out his hand and lifted off the silk on it.
Nan Yan couldn't help but craned her neck to look.
I saw thousands of hundreds of copper coins stacked neatly on the wide tray, shining brightly, with the words "Da Yan Tong Bao" written on it, which was written by him himself.
Ye Zheng said: "Because this batch of copper coins is the first batch, the ratio of copper to lead is six to four, and one million coins will be minted."
Zhu Feng picked up one and weighed it, it was heavy.
He nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing him lightly fiddle with the copper coin with his fingers, Jian Ruocheng frowned slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have something to do."
"you say."
"I just heard Master Ye say that the ratio of copper coins for the first batch of coins is six to four. Is this inappropriate?"
"..."
"Nowadays, the copper mines that can be mined by the imperial court are very scarce. With such a large proportion of coins, I am afraid that there are not many left; in addition, these coins are circulated to the common people in the market. I am afraid that those profiteers will buy them in large quantities, melt money and cast copper, and eventually when-"
When Ye Zheng 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, it is indeed harmful to the people. But this is the first batch of money, which is related to my Yan Dynasty. face."
After speaking, he threw the coin back on the tray.
"The next batch, come backwards."
Hearing what he said, Jian Ruocheng immediately knelt down and said, "The emperor is wise."
Zhu Feng waved his hand, asked Ye Zheng to put the heavy tray aside, and asked, "Jian Youcheng, what are you doing here today?"
"My minister is here, there is an important matter to report."
"speak."
"Prince Jing has sent a letter stating that the Yue Kingdom in the south invaded our border once again."
Zhu Feng frowned suddenly.
For a long time, in the north of the Great Yan Dynasty, there has been a powerful and fierce Tan Kingdom. They are good at riding and shooting, and they have invaded the frontier several times. Since he was named King Yan, he has been fighting against Tan Kingdom in the north for ten years .
However, the threat of the Great Yan Dynasty did not only come from the north.
