The liveliness of Xuandemen did not subside with Zhao Zhen's departure. Logically speaking, the gate of the imperial palace was regarded as the outer courtyard of Zhao Zhen's family. The opportunity to cheer like this at the entrance of the emperor's family only happened once a year.

The small merchants and hawkers are not to be missed. They are constantly shuttling among the crowds with exquisite food on their carts. At this time, there will be no arrests to ruin such a good atmosphere.

And the people don't care. Who cares about these people who are making things convenient for them now?

Yes, it is indeed convenient for everyone, because Yu Street has become a huge stage. Song people have as much enthusiasm for entertainment performances as later generations. This time praising Zhao Zhen's civil and martial arts also gave the people a good way to celebrate. opportunity.

There were medicine puppets, lantern floats, song and dance performances, and there was an endless stream of people. There was even a fishing shed set up on the wide Royal Street!

While the common people were singing and dancing, Zhao Zhen was coaxing his children to sleep in the imperial study.

In Zhao Zhen's opinion, having two children is a great pleasure. Enjoying the laughter of his children, Zhao Zhen rocked the crib while reviewing the memorials. This has become his habit. If he doesn't read it for a day, he will feel that nothing has been done.

Today's memorials are mostly congratulatory words, and Zhao Zhen's review of them is boring. It seems that the courtiers are having a great day, and even they don't want to mention those complicated political affairs anymore.

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Cai Ji's restaurant will be full again."

Sancai on the side smiled and said: "What the officials said is that the courtiers ate and drank a lot today, and the officials made a lot of money!"

Zhao Zhen pointed at Sancai: "If your husband-in-law listens to what you said, you really should be beaten. Send someone to send Ling'er and the others back to the palace. Staying here all the time is neglecting the queen and the others."

"This slave obeys the order..."

Sancai felt bitter in his heart. Those two wanted the princes to stay in front of the officials. That is to say, Vera wanted Ling'er to go back to accompany her the most, but Ling'er liked to stick to the officials.

The two princes were sent away, but Ling'er woke up and refused to leave. Zhao Zhen picked up the brush and said: "If you don't leave, write big characters!"

Ling'er, who was rolling around, immediately got up and ran as fast as a rabbit, and disappeared at the entrance of the palace with a few bounds. Like his second brother, this little girl hates dancing and writing, but Zhao Xu likes these the most. There is a seat on the small desk. An hour or two.

It seems that the little guy is not a person who likes to write and write...

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. If you don't like it, don't like it. Anyway, she is a princess of the royal family, and she will not rely on her talents such as poems and songs to attract young talents.

Zhao Zhen has already planned for his daughter's future. As long as Ling'er is happy, he can marry anyone he wants. Zhao Zhen is not short of money, so there is no need to "sell" his daughter. Today's Song Dynasty does not need to get married. Since the arrival of Taizu in the Song Dynasty, there has been no talk of marriage. It is also one of the rare dynasties in Chinese history that did not have marriage.

This was mainly determined by the Song Dynasty's external attitude...seeking peace externally, guarding strictly internally, and waiting to eliminate it.

As for the son problem, it is better to leave time to solve it. Zhao Zhen does not want to announce who is the prince prematurely to the outside court. In the past, Zhao Zhen had no children, and the courtiers were worried that the Song Dynasty would have no heirs. Now that Zhao Zhen has two heirs, who will? Looking for this kind of discomfort?

No one mentioned the Green Car Festival anymore, and even Zhao Yunrang became more honest. After all, as a member of the clan, he had no chance.

But in the ban, even the three talents knew who would be the future prince. This was decided long ago. After all, the empress's son was the eldest son, and his temperament was the gentlest and most stable, quite like the demeanor of an official family back then.

Ling'er sneaked back quietly, and Zhao Zhen helplessly watched his daughter crawling on the huge wool carpet, and then got straight under his desk. The desk was covered with gorgeous silk and satin, just like Zhao Ling'er's secret base.

.

I have almost finished reading the memorials on the table, most of which were written by the princes and courtiers of the two governments. Only one blue memorial caught Zhao Zhen's attention. This was a dispute about the name of a new batch of copper coins. The coins minted in the Song Dynasty were all called "

"Yuanbao" was given the title of the year. Now that it is the first year of Baoyuan, the coins minted should be called "Baoyuan Tongbao". Zhao Zhen had previously asked the Academy of Sciences to discuss it, and the Academy requested that it be changed to "Fengji Yuanbao".

Fengji Yuanbao? Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly. It seems that the Academy has not understood what he meant. He asked them to use a Tongbao that can be issued in the Song Dynasty for a long time, instead of always changing the Tongbao. Even the name has no fixed name. How to ensure that it will be popular?

Is the money made in Song Dynasty strong?

At the end of the memorial, the emperor wrote the words "Tong Bao of the Song Dynasty" and added the following remarks: "The money making in the Song Dynasty is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Every time the year name is changed, the Tong Bao is also changed. It is really a waste of money. Please refer to the Tong Bao of the Song Dynasty."

It’s a name that can’t be changed except by the grand ceremony!”

Gently putting down the memorial pen, Zhao Zhen turned to Sancai and said: "Send this memorial to the Academy of Sciences."

Sancai took the memorial and looked at the sky outside. The moon had gradually set in the west, and the naughty princess was also asleep under the imperial desk. He gave Zhao Zhen the last bowl of tea and continued: "It's almost midnight, and it's slightly cold tonight.

…”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Send someone to send Ling'er back. I remembered something, and I'm afraid I'll forget it after I go to bed. I'll add another pot of tea."

Sancai was slightly surprised. Officials in the past would never stay up so late. Their daily lives were very regular and they paid attention to health. Even if they were busy with political affairs, they would not stay up late unless there was an urgent military situation.

Sancai raised his eyelids. Officials used yellow floral edicts, which were usually issued to the third division...

Zhao Zhen was indeed giving an order to the Third Division. Through the Tongbao incident just now, he remembered the recent money shortage. Yes, the wealthy Song Dynasty was also beginning to face a money shortage. There was a money shortage in the Jianghuai area, and Kaifeng Mansion was slightly better.

a little.

This was mainly caused by the massive outflow of copper coins from the Song Dynasty. Merchants from the Song Dynasty traded with Japan, Southeast Asia, Arabia and other places. In their opinion, the copper coins from the Song Dynasty were of excellent quality and had exquisite patterns, and copper was also an important metal.

, naturally Song money has almost become the international currency of the trade zone.

What Japan was so fond of was only copper coins. When doing business with the Song Dynasty, Xiaoping coins must be used as an agreement. They also ordered their countries to allow Xiaoping coins to enter but not to leave. Java also exchanged pepper for Song coins.

And a person named Zhi Leye said: Minqian was originally a Chinese treasure, but now it is commonly used by barbarians from all over the world. When Chinese money is obtained, it is stored in separate treasury and regarded as a national treasure. Therefore, those who enter Tibet will not go there unless they have copper coins, and Tibetan goods are not copper coins.

Not for sale.

Tonight's incident of Emperor Song Tongbao made Zhao Zhen pay more urgent attention to paper money. The copper coins of the Song Dynasty may not last long, but the three currencies of gold, silver and copper may be able to support it for a while and a half. Yunnan

The land had just been returned to the Song Dynasty, and it would take some time for Yunnan copper to be produced.
