"What did you just say?"
Ying Zheng asked repeatedly as if he felt that his ears had heard wrongly.
Zhao Hao chuckled: "Father, I want you to have a self-portrait printed on coins."
"Ah!"
Ying Zheng laughed angrily and without saying a word, he raised his hand and pointed outside the study.
"."
Zhao Hao twitched the corner of his mouth and immediately understood that he was telling himself to get out.
However, after leaving the study, he was still unwilling to accept it, so he ran to find his teacher Wei Liao.
After all, throughout history, Emperor Wei Liaohei is the most famous.
"Student Hao, I met the teacher."
"Why do you come to see me when you have time today and still act so well?"
Seeing Zhao Hao salute him respectfully, Wei Liao teased with a half-smile, then raised his hand to signal Zhao Hao to take a seat.
"I've been very busy recently. I haven't seen the teacher for a long time. I miss you so much!"
Zhao Hao laughed and sat down as he was told.
Wei Liao glanced at him noncommittally, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then said calmly: "Your Majesty has arranged for the people from Heibingtai to do that matter;
There are currently three caravans secretly heading to Donghu, Dayuezhi, and the hinterland of the Xiongnu. I believe it won't be long before news is sent back! "
"Oh, that's what the teacher was talking about!"
Zhao Hao suddenly understood and said nonchalantly: "Actually, no matter what news comes back, we have to take this step, so what if they don't accept it?
It’s not that I’m proud, I don’t take them to heart at all;
I'm not targeting anyone. In my eyes, none of these aliens are my rival! "
When Wei Liao heard Zhao Hao's words, his tea-drinking movements froze instantly. His eyes scanned Zhao Hao up and down, and he thought to himself, "Why are you not arrogant?" You are already so proud that you are boundless!
Your father doesn't dare to look down on those foreign races, but your boy is quite awesome.
I don't know why, but Zhao Hao is very relaxed when he is with Wei Liao, unlike every time he sees Ying Zheng, he can't help but feel an inexplicable tension in his heart.
"Teacher, don't you believe what Hao said?"
Zhao Hao asked casually when he saw Wei Liao looking at him with a strange expression.
Wei Liao opened his mouth and was about to answer, but he heard Zhao Hao think to himself again: "Compared to conquering foreigners with military force, cultural invasion is the most terrifying, because military conquest is only temporary, and cultural invasion can completely wipe out a nation. Solve foreign troubles.”
"Cultural invasion?"
Upon hearing this new vocabulary, Wei Liao suddenly showed an interested expression.
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "Actually, the caravan sent by my father is a kind of cultural export through commodity trade. It makes foreign races yearn for and identify with the culture of the Central Plains, and we can have influence on the foreign races."
"What influence?"
"The absolute influence of great powers on the region!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said: "As long as those alien races become dependent on our products, they will take the initiative to approach us, learn our writing, speak our language, and give up their culture, then the alien race will cease to exist."
Hearing this, Wei Liao understood: "You mean, by then, the territory of the Xiongnu, Donghu, or Dayue clan will all become our territory?"
"That's understandable."
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something, and added: "Of course, the prerequisite for cultural invasion is to eliminate those ambitious people and leave only those who obey us."
"For example, get rid of that Moton."
Wei Liao nodded with a smile, then stroked his beard and said, "His Majesty's initial strategy was to cause civil strife among them. From what you said, it goes deeper."
"So I said no matter what they do, we have to take this step and promote our culture."
Wei Liao thought for a while and then said: "Then why did you come to me today?"
"Hey, I just want to ask my father for a portrait. I don't know why he reacted so strongly to this matter. He just didn't give it to me and kicked me out. Teacher, do you know why?"
"Well"
When Wei Liao heard this, his face twitched and he looked at Zhao Hao strangely: "You didn't ask your father why, why did you come to ask me?"
"Isn't this the only teacher who thinks that my father is the most unique? I want to know him better!"
Zhao Hao winked and said.
"That's not my evaluation, it's the evaluation of Tang Juzhi, the master of physiognomy."
"Who is Tang Juzhi?"
"It is said that he is from the Yin Yang family, but I don't know very well!"
"Then what does this have to do with not having a portrait of my father?"
Zhao Hao blinked and looked at Wei Liao with confusion.
Wei Liao stroked his beard, seeming to be hesitating and deliberation. After a moment, he said thoughtfully:
"The people of the Yin Yang family love heresy the most, and there are not a few people who believe in them. Your father's appearance has changed drastically due to his illness. If the true face is spread, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. Simply make mistakes and let those who are scheming. , self-destruction!”
"Oh, I see!"
Zhao Hao nodded suddenly.
At first he thought there was some ulterior reason.
In fact, Ying Zheng is the same as Lao Zhu in later generations.
It is said that Lao Zhu found many famous painters to paint his portraits, but only one painter remained, and the rest were eliminated.
The portrait of Lao Zhu that has been handed down is said to be a product of beautification.
The real Lao Zhu has a shoehorned face.
Of course, this is impossible to say.
Only those who have seen him with their own eyes know exactly what Lao Zhu looks like.
However, it can also be seen from this that ancient monarchs attached great importance to their own image and did not easily show it to others. Only by maintaining a sense of mystery can they have the authority of the emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but sigh: "Isn't this just like the font!"
"Font?"
Wei Liao was stunned: "What font?"
"It's the words on the national debt rolls and banknotes. I'm going to engrave the template."
As he said that, Zhao Hao suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, the teacher can help me write it!"
"?"
A small question mark slowly appeared on Wei Liao's forehead, and he couldn't help but ask, "What to write?"
Zhao Hao chuckled, winked and said: "Teacher is quite mysterious among the people, and rarely leaves any handwriting. I can use your handwriting and my original font!"
"In addition, the teacher is a royal captain of the imperial court, with a distinguished status and a very high credibility. It can also increase the reputation of my "Wei Liao Zi" faction invisibly, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"
"Well"
Wei Liao was stunned for a while, but felt that what Zhao Hao said made sense. After thinking for a long time, he agreed.
"Okay, I'll help you with this as a teacher, but what's up with your original font?"
"Teacher, don't worry!"
Saying that, Zhao Hao quickly ran into the thatched house, took out paper and pen, spread them on Wei Liao's desk, smiled and wrote: "Teacher, look, this character is called big."
"Why is it so easy?"
Wei Liao looked at the word 'big' written by Zhao Hao and was slightly startled.
Zhao Hao smiled and explained: "This is originally a simplified Chinese character, so it is naturally simple!"
"But... this is too simple!"
"Isn't writing meant to be understood at a glance? Why is it so complicated!"
boom!
When Wei Liao heard Zhao Hao's words, his head was buzzing as if he was struck by lightning.
This makes so much sense!
yes!
Isn’t writing meant to be understood at a glance?
After the Qin State unified the six kingdoms, it simplified the large seal script originally used, canceled the variant characters of the other six countries, and used the "small seal script" of the Qin State as the standard to unify the national script.
But compared to 'Xiaozhuan', this simplified Chinese character is simpler.
The same meaning, why not express it in a simpler font?
Thinking of this, Wei Liao's eyes changed when he looked at Zhao Hao. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and thought to himself that this guy is really an all-rounder and knows everything.
"What's wrong, teacher, is what Hao said wrong?"
Seeing that Wei Liao was silent, Zhao Hao slowly stopped the pen in his hand and asked doubtfully.
Wei Liao shook his head: "It's okay, just keep writing!"
"Well, the words on this banknote are very simple. You only need to write the four words 'Da Qin Banknote', while the words on the national bond roll are more complicated. They are divided into national construction bonds, national investment bonds, and National credit bonds." Zhao Hao explained.
Wei Liao frowned slightly after hearing this: "Why are there so many types of national bond bonds? Are they as bad as banknotes?"
"Teacher, banknotes are a general category, you only need to indicate the amount of money, but treasury bonds are different. Each type of treasury bond has its own usage!"
"Um"
Wei Liao nodded, said nothing, and quietly watched Zhao Hao write simplified Chinese characters.
Soon, Zhao Hao finished writing all the words he wanted to write with a brush.
When it was Wei Liao's turn to write, while looking at Zhao Hao's writing, he asked Zhao Hao: "Your banknotes are worth ten or one hundred golds. Do you want to print large banknotes?"
"Yes, large amounts are more convenient for transactions. Don't worry, teacher, these large amounts of banknotes have a very small circulation and will not cause any problems!"
Is the circulation very small?
This is a good idea.
This not only protects large transactions, but also ensures that banks are not affected.
Wei Liao thought about it secretly, and immediately picked up his pen to study. After two hours of writing and research, he finally honed his own style and wrote several pieces of his unique handwriting for Zhao Hao.
When Zhao Hao picked up the handwriting with satisfaction and went back to carve a new template, he happened to meet Wang Wan who came to see him.
"What's wrong, old prime minister, what happened again?"
Zhao Hao looked at Wang Wandao with a puzzled look.
Wang Wan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously: "Your Majesty just sent someone to urge me, telling me to quickly prepare money and food. There is a war in South Vietnam!"
"ah?"
Zhao Hao was slightly surprised: "So fast?"
"It's still a small-scale sneak attack, but be prepared. The imperial court must prepare enough money and food to transport to the front line!"
"Okay, I understand, you want to issue a patriotic lottery, right?"
"Yes! The sooner the better!"
Wang Wan nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Hao frowned slightly, then looked up at the sky and found that the sky had darkened, so he said solemnly: "No matter how urgent it is, it won't be too late. I will notify the old prime minister when I am ready!"
"Well, I would like to thank you first."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do, but can the old prime minister promise me one thing?"
"What's the matter?"
Wang Wan frowned.
Zhao Hao smiled slightly: "I need some helpers."
"Young Master"
Wang Wan's eyes widened and she looked at Zhao Hao in disbelief.
What's the meaning?
Is Young Master Hao going to fight for the throne?
impossible! He is not interested in that position at all!
So what is the helper he is talking about?
Just when Wang Wan's mind was racing, she saw Zhao Hao suppress his smile and said expressionlessly: "I said, in the game of power, there are only winners, and I don't want to lose."
"this"
Wang Wan was shocked and confused. She stared at Zhao Hao for a long time before asking, "How many helpers does the young master need?"
"They haven't come to Xianyang yet. When they come, I'll trouble the old prime minister to make arrangements."
Zhao Hao smiled, and then said meaningfully: "Remember, only you know this matter, I know it."
"Understood."
Wang Wan nodded slightly, and Zhao Hao watched him leave, narrowing his eyes and remaining silent.
It didn't take long.
Zhao Hao then returned to Chu Nan Pavilion and found brothers and sisters Mo Ku and Mo Xuan.
"I'm going to make a typewriter and I need your help. I'll dictate the principles to you. Can you make it?"
When Zhao Hao saw Brother Mo Ku and his sister, he asked directly.
Mo Ku and Mo Xuan looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
Zhao Hao raised his hand to his forehead, paced back and forth in the room, and murmured:
"This typewriter is not complicated. I have made it before, but I'm afraid one is not enough. I need to make several more."
"Then Master, can you do it and let us learn at the same time?"
Mo Xuan tilted his head and said.
Zhao Hao glanced at her suspiciously and said, "Can you do it?"
"Hmph! Master, please don't look down on others!"
Mo Xuan snorted coldly, looking unconvinced.
Zhao Hao shook his head helplessly and waved his hand directly without arguing with her: "Laifu, call Chang Wei and help us together!"
Soon, Zhao Hao brought everyone to the craft room he had arranged and began to teach them how to make typewriters.
In fact, the so-called typewriter is not used to type fonts, but to type numbers.
Each typewriter only has the year, month, day, and numbers 1-10 on it.
When the first typewriter was built, everyone was stunned.
They watched stupidly as Zhao Hao printed a pattern on a piece of cut white paper, put it on the drum of the typewriter, and clicked it a few times.
A row of numbers suddenly appeared on the piece of paper.
Looking at the numbers above, the corners of Zhao Hao's mouth raised slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he followed the same pattern and printed a few simplified Chinese characters on the paper.
Daqin Patriotic Lottery!
Mo Ku, Mo Xuan, including Chang Wei and Laifu, all looked at Zhao Hao with puzzled expressions.
"Sir, this"
Chang Wei opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Zhao Hao shouted without looking back: "Whatever this and that, just say what you have to say!"
"Just what is this piece of paper used for?"
Chang Wei had just dug out all the tunnels and was called by Zhao Hao to help. He was already a little resentful. Now that he couldn't figure out what Zhao Hao was doing, he suddenly became anxious.
When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help but look back at him, then looked at the others, and said somewhat funny:
"You will know tomorrow. This thing is the future and can create countless wealth!"
"ah?"
Everyone was surprised.
Can this little piece of paper create wealth?
It was obvious that they didn't believe Zhao Hao's words.
But Zhao Hao didn't explain too much, just showed a very playful smile.
