Yang Gan sneered, "Without the right to mint money and complete centralization of power, there is simply no way to govern the economy."
"And you are still using modern people's ideas. The inside of the coin still needs some yellow metal as a base. In this way, the coin itself will be valuable, and the leaders of Guizhou will recognize it."
Zhang Yumeng tilted her head, comparing modern currency and ancient currency in her mind and found that the ancient system was more suitable for the actual situation.
"You mean to give up the traditional five cents, one dollar, etc., and replace it with a few cents, right?"
"Combining ancient and modern times~~!"
Yang Gan smiled and said, "It's easy to use one coin, five coins, ten coins, or one hundred coins. You can make a hole in the middle and string them together, so the weight is as unified as possible."
"Anyway, it is to be as down-to-earth as possible so that the uneducated Guizhou leaders can accept it, and then there will be no problem."
Zhang Yumeng suddenly realized, "What you are saying is that money itself is a precious metal, so that everyone can recognize it. Well, not bad. How could you have thought of it? I almost fell into this historical weird circle. Modern coins themselves have no value because of the state." It gives it value, that’s why it’s valuable.”
Yang Gan nodded and patted her shoulder, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll make a feasibility report and we can start when I get the minting rights."
Zhang Yumeng nodded, then shook his head, "It's not that simple. When I came, I asked around along the way and found out that Haichaohou alone is very powerful, let alone the county."
"Just such a scumbag marquis can manage the land of a county. The national tax is like a contract system."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have arrangements."
Zhang Yumeng raised her eyebrows and looked at Yang Qian in surprise. It was obvious that this kid was still making some arrangements secretly. How could this person be such a thief was beyond comprehension.
While Yang Qian was patrolling everywhere, Xia Kingdom and other vassal states were busy with their own plans. After all, there was no real peace in the Central Plains.
Even though the war was not fought much, various small actions never stopped, and there were even many battles between soldiers from the two countries at the border to determine the outcome, as long as no lives were lost.
Some generals are also very supportive of such a movement. Don't go without fighting for a long time, otherwise you will be in trouble if your combat effectiveness is exhausted.
In the spacious and tall inner hall, King Xia Wen sat on a chair with a good face, drinking tea leisurely.
"The tea given by Zhao'er is really good. After drinking it, your teeth and cheeks will be fragrant~~~ Moreover, this kind of tureen is comfortable to use, and the chair is also comfortable."
Xue Kang'an smiled boldly and said, "Your Majesty, the medicinal materials collected by the young master have arrived again."
King Xia Wen asked curiously, "Didn't there be a lot more given last time?"
"Yes, I heard that you only used 70% of it, but the young master asked the messenger to tell you that you cannot stop taking the medicine."
Yang Qian: You are sick and cannot stop taking the medicine!
The most ruthless emperor's family. To be honest, there is no normal person who comes from such a family. Therefore, there are almost no normal people who can be princes and generals.
Yang Qian is not an idiot. He is not familiar with King Xia Wen, but the name is there, and he still needs to rely on him, but he cannot go back.
Once back, there would be trouble. Master Jie must know that he is not dead, and the direction of the fire must not be in the temple.
Second, come on, to be honest, I'm not familiar with King Xia Wen either. Calling someone daddy with someone I've never met before, I can't say it out loud. It'll be quite awkward and not good-looking, right?
However, he still remembered some knowledge he had seen on Douyin before.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, regardless of one’s deeds, one’s deeds cannot be compared with one’s deeds. A poor family has no filial son. It means that as long as one is filial in one’s heart, there is no need to show it.
But Yang Qian felt that his current position was quite embarrassing, so he might as well do the opposite, not communicate, and express it through actions.
According to Anzi's report, Gongzi Jie made small moves with the prime minister every day, but his thoughts were not focused on King Xia Wen at all, and he ignored the relationship between father and son.
Sometimes precious things are often the easiest for others to get, and the most difficult things for the royal family to get are the most valuable.
Yang Qian started from this aspect. Some "plain" gifts, as long as they were good for King Xia Wen's health, were all packaged and sent to the court.

Chapter 451: My son still cares about me
Regardless of whether it's useful or not, we'll talk about it after giving it away.
Even the first sweater knitted from wool was given away.
"Zhao'er is still heart-warming. The other sons, huh, are almost as good as dead. It's a pity that we can't have them. It's a big pity."
King Xia Wen's face gradually became lonely. It was so sad to sit on a huge land but not get a trace of family affection.
Xue Kang'an couldn't even continue what he said. This was obviously the king's soliloquy. To continue it rashly would be to seek death.
"What is Zhou Qi doing recently?"
Xue Kang'an cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Taiwei, you have been dealing with military affairs almost since you came to court. You don't go out much at home every day."
King Xia Wen narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "Remember what Zhao'er said, it's abnormal to have demons. People who like to go out to eat and drink on weekdays actually stay at home all day long. Isn't this a clear sign that something is wrong?"
At this time Qu Xiuwen came in, and King Xia Wen said, "Did you hear us talking when you came in just now? If you heard what you said, tell us what you think."
Qu Xiuwen cupped his hands and said, "Young Master's words are very reasonable. In this case, I am afraid that the Lord Taiwei has completely sided with the Prime Minister."
"Why are you so sure?" King Xia Wen asked curiously.
"The purpose of the young master's fake death is to prevent the young master Jie from troubling him. If Master Taiwei learns about such a confidential matter, he will take action."
"What action?"
Qu Xiuwen's eyes flashed coldly, "In the past, the Taiwei was very keen on letting his daughter marry Young Master Zhao. Your Majesty, has he mentioned it in recent times?"
The three of them suddenly understood. Even Wang Jian glanced sideways and secretly said, "Is it so obvious already?"
"Have you found the person behind Jie'er?"
"It has been found that there are at least two kingdoms supporting it, namely Zhou State and Wu State."
King Xia Wen's eyes flashed coldly, "It is indeed a disaster. Should we consider cutting down the vassalage?"
Qu Xiuwen was horrified, "Your Majesty, you must not do it. If you cut off the feudal vassals, the other five counties will definitely not let it go. If they cause rebellion at the same time, wouldn't it mean that our country, Daxia, will be shaken?"
"Oh~~~! We still have to figure it out slowly, but I'm afraid Jie'er won't be able to wait. He's not a very patient person."
King Xia Wen had a headache and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Several people looked at each other, and Qu Xiuwen tried to say, "Why don't you ask the messenger to ask the young master when he returns?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Ji Zhao's existence was already a little weird. No matter what difficult problems he had, it seemed to become easier in his hands.
"That's it, it's decided."
"Who is it?" Suddenly, the guard at the door yelled.
Dozens of guards rushed toward a figure. King Xia Wen and others were also shocked. He drew out his sword and rushed out.
Xia people, tigers and wolves, even if they are kings, are not cowards, they are the ones who really dare to risk their lives.
"Ah~~~!" A scream sounded.
I saw a man dressed as an eunuch being dragged over by the guards.
King Xia Wen looked ugly and said, "Dead?"
The leader of the guards raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this animal is a dead warrior. It is not afraid of death. It was only when we found out that it actually fought with us with its own strength. We had no choice but to kill it."
King Xia Wen was helpless, everyone was dead, what else could he say? He glanced at the leader of the guards, looked at Xue Kangan, and said calmly.
"Capture all the guards on duty today and wait until they are punished. All the eunuchs will be executed."
"No~~~!"
Xue Kang'an accepted the order. When King Xia Wen returned, he couldn't help wiping the sweat from his face. He was a guard and was in charge of the palace guard. He couldn't escape this time.
When everyone left, a figure quickly jumped out of the rockery and disappeared without a trace. Obviously there was someone in the palace to help, otherwise it would not have been possible to escape so easily.
A few days later, the court master was actually in a harmonious mood, as if the world was at peace, as if the eavesdropping incident had not caused any trouble.
Shangguo, Fuyanchaotang.
Compared to the Xia Kingdom's court, this place is almost full of the smell of gunpowder. Representatives from each camp almost have their eyes widened, fearing that the other party will seize their rights and interests (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 451: My son still cares about me
beneficial.
The person sitting in the main seat is the king's aunt.
"Foreign Minister Han Jingtong, please see Madame Yinglie."
Mrs. Yinglie said calmly, "Without courtesy, tell me, what do you mean when you come to our Shangguo three times and four times? If it is for the sake of collusion, forget it. The king has been lying on the bed for a long time, and he is already powerless."
Han Jingtong bowed deeply and said loudly, "If the countries do not unite to fight against the Xia Kingdom, they will be in trouble. Jingtong sincerely asks the heroic lady to work together with you to fight against the Xia Kingdom."
Although there were several factions vying for power in Fu Yan's court, there were many knowledgeable people, especially Li Lu. After seeing Yang Qian's cavalry, he was filled with worries.
Although he did not fight with him, his strict military discipline and advanced armor made him, a veteran of many battles, look at him with suspicion.
Thinking of this, Li Lu couldn't help but stand up and said, "We, Shangguo and Liaoguo, have been fighting for years, but Xiaguo has been at war with each other. I thought that a merger could be considered."
Mrs. Yinglie nodded with a smile, giving Li Lu enough face, but there was a cold look in her eyes.
In such a situation, the general who commands the army is a hot commodity. Everyone wants to get close to him, and there are even factions who want to win over him.
Another minister immediately spoke sarcastically and said, "Hahaha, our Shangguo has always had strong soldiers and horses, why should we be afraid of the people of other Xia?"
"Yes, our country, Shang, is a powerful country in the world. Neither Xingguo nor Liao Kingdom are our rivals. Why should we be afraid of Xia Kingdom?"
"Hmph, the Xia Kingdom would have been defeated long ago if it wasn't for the Yanggu Pass."
Han Jingtong's face darkened and his breathing became rapid. Looking at the situation in the world, he always felt that there was a big hand that seemed to be controlling it, and it was really a ghost.
If Liao Guo cannot be persuaded, the idea of joining the vertical can only be shelved. The next time it is proposed, who knows how many years will it be.
After everyone was busy talking for a long time, Mrs. Yinglie coughed a few times and suddenly became quiet.
