After the New Year, another snow fell in Chang'an City. The red lights and gray walls reflected the white snow. The whole city was peaceful and peaceful, with a sense of a prosperous Chang'an.

Wan Jun hurriedly returned from Taiyuan. Cui Ziyi, Wen Anzhi and others received the news and were already waiting at the gate of the head of state. When they saw Wan Jun, they went straight to meet him.

I haven't seen Wang Huan for a long time. I wanted to go to the back hall to report first, but I didn't expect that I would be intercepted by a group of men to the meeting hall of Chengtian Palace.

The big chair among the troops sat down and looked like he was sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman, "Come on, come on, come on, come on."

Wen'an's way, "It's already prepared in advance."

After saying that, Wen Anzhi glanced at the person next to him. The man understood it and sang to the door, "Come on!"

A row of guards came in from outside the door, each holding a tray, with a stack of notes placed in the tray, Wen Anzhi picked it up one by one and handed it to Wan Jun, "There are a lot of things, I'll write the general content in front. Please read the head of state."

Wan Jun took it and saw that the front of the memorial was a small regular script written by Wen Anzhi, which was densely mixed with traditional Chinese characters. After reading it hard for a while, Wan Jun gave up and handed the memorial to Wen Anzhi, "You probably tell me it!"

Wen Anzhi took it and looked around, "Head of the People's Republic of China, this is a memorial to issue the imperial calendar of the new dynasty, and a memorial to announce the reign title. The Great Huaxia Empire has been established for more than a year, and the folk dynasties are still chaotic. Some use the Chongzhen reign title, some use the Hongguang reign title, and even use the pseudo-chief reign title of the Hu people, and all the people in the world are at a loss."

Wan Jun was used to the AD and never thought about the issue of the New Year title. After the founding of the country, Wan Jun rushed to conquer Annan, but actually delayed such an important matter.

The imperial calendar and year name represent the unity of time. The dynasty of which dynasty is used by the people symbolizes the destiny of heaven. For the ancient and long-standing agricultural powers, the imperial calendar and year name are extremely important.

Wen'an's way, "The first edict of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was to promulgate the "Da Tong Calendar", which was earlier than his "Edict of Ascension to the Throne."

Wan Jun said, "Unified calendar is indeed the top priority!"

Wen'an's Way, "The "Datong Calendar" has been used for more than two hundred years, and now it has grown and gone by, and there are many inaccuracies. Although the "Chongzhen Calendar" is the latest edit, it is..."

Wan Jun said, "But what?"

Wen'an's way, "However, after the editing of the "Chongzhen Calendar", it was still possible to promulgate. Li Zicheng conquered Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen sacrificed his life for his country. After the Qing Dynasty occupied Beijing, he obtained the "Chongzhen Calendar" and changed its name to Shixian Calendar, which has been promulgated for more than three years."

After the Qing army entered the pass, they moved the capital to Beijing and immediately issued a new calendar. It can be seen that the goal is quite large. However, in history, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty did not have any worries.

Wan Jun heard what Wen Anzhi meant, "This "Chongzhen Calendar" was taken first by the Hu people, and we missed the opportunity."

Wen Anzhi sighed, "Yes, the "Chongzhen Calendar" was edited by Xu Guangqi, and combined with the theory of Western Yi astronomicality. After the new calendar was compiled in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the dispute over the advantages and disadvantages of the new calendar and the old calendar lasted for ten years, and finally proved that the calculation of the "Chongzhen Calendar" was precise. Now that the Hu people have promulgated it first, we can only spend a lot of effort to re-edit the calendar."

Wan Jun said, "Since the Chongzhen Calendar runs in a precise manner, we will use it. Why bother to re-edit and re-edit? I think the difference is not big, and it is wasted manpower and financial resources in vain."

Wen'an's Way, "How can the new dynasty be used to use the calendar issued by the Hu people?"

Wan Jun said, "It is not the calendar issued by the Hu people, but the Hu people steal the Chongzhen

"On the Almanac, we just need to change its name and re-issue it to the world, and the people are less affected."

Wen'an's way, "This is the only way. I wonder what the head of state gave the new calendar?"

Wan Jun thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. In order to show the new atmosphere of the empire, I will not have the year name in the future. The new calendar is called the Huaxia calendar. According to the first year of China five years ago, everything will be calculated according to this in the future."

Wen Anzhi was shocked and said, "No more year name? Why is this, five years ago, Li Zicheng conquered Beijing? Emperor Chongzhen sacrificed his life for his country? The Hu people entered the pass?"

Five years ago, in addition to these earth-shaking events, there was another major event that no one knew about but affected the entire timeline. Wanjun's experimental cabin fell at this time wave point.

Wan Jun naturally could not explain this, "The head of state will not serve for life and will not be hereditary in the future, so it is meaningless to choose the year name again. In addition, unlike the Hu people, we promulgated the Chinese calendar and promulgated the Western AD, and the two went hand in hand."

Wen Anzhi knew a lot about the Western calendar, but Wen Anzhi was quite puzzled by parallelizing the Western calendar with the Chinese calendar, "Why did the head of state attach so much importance to the Western calendar?"

Wan Jun said, "The Western calendar is precise. After the great voyage, most of the world is controlled by Western civilization. If you want to deal with Westerners, it will be useful in the future."

Wen'an's Way, "What's the Great Sail?"

Wan Jun said, "It is Westerners who sailed far away on the ocean and discovered the ocean routes between different parts of the world. Okay, this is how the calendar is done, what else is there?"

Wen Anzhi picked up the second memorial and looked at it, "This is a memorial about the coins of the New Dynasty. Today, there are the currency chaos, including Chongzhen treasure coins, the offering of the thief Daxi Tongbao, the fake Dashun Tongbao, and the coins minted by the Hongguang court. There are Shunzhi Tongbao used by Manchu Tatars in many places in the pass."

Thinking about the fact that the United States used the hegemony of the US dollar to cut the world's leeks. Many times, silver is more lethal than guns and cannons. Wan Jun nodded and said, "This is a good deal. It is really urgent to unify the currency. I allocated several million taels of silver to you. I wonder how your Minister of Finance's banknotes are doing?"

Wen An said, "The head of state forgives his crimes, and the matter of paper money has not yet begun."

Wan Jun almost thought he had heard it wrong and said anxiously, "What does it mean to have not started yet?"

Wen'an's way, "The Head of State for Ming Dynasty, there was a shortage of copper during the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty. He once issued the Daming Baochao, but the overflow of treasure banknotes quickly became waste paper. It was really inappropriate to issue paper banknotes. It was also because the year number was not determined and the coins could not be minted, so it was repeatedly postponed. Now the head of state does not use the year number. Please tell me how to mint coins."

Wan Jun said airbrush, "Crushing coins is important, why don't you say it earlier?"

Wen Anzhi said helplessly, "He forgot that I am the only one of the seven pillars of Chang'an City. Not only do I have the finances, but also Sichuan's land division, Guanzhong's military dispatch, and the assessment and election of local officials. Over the past year, my old bones have almost been broken up."

Wan Jun laughed in anger and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wen, this is the first time the new dynasty is established, and there is not enough staff everywhere, thank you for your hard work."

Wen'an's way, "I wish to do more for the head of state for the world with an old bone. This is a matter of paper money. Please think twice."

Wan Jun said, "Gold and silver are inconvenient to circulation, paper money is the general trend, and the collapse of the Ming Baochao banknotes turned into waste paper. That is the consequence of the imperial court's indiscriminate issuance of paper money, not the reason for paper money. As long as we are ready to issue reserves and maintain paper money.

With good credit, paper money will definitely replace gold and silver.”

Wen Anzhi asked, "What reserve?"

Wan Jun said, "Simply put, paper money itself has no value. When paper money can buy things, it is a valuable treasure banknote. When it cannot buy things, it is a piece of waste paper. Its value depends on whether it can be exchanged for valuable things, that is, purchasing power. As long as we can maintain the purchasing power of paper money, the banknotes we issue are valuable, and the reserve is something used to maintain the purchasing power of paper money."

Wen Anzhi understood a little, "If the value of paper money can be maintained, maybe you can give it a try."

Wan Jun nodded and said, "Paper banknotes are easy to carry, and the cost is much lower than gold, silver and copper. As long as our banknote credit is established, we can use economic means to attack the enemy, which is better than a million soldiers."

Wen Anzhi quickly took the paper and pen, "Please ask the head of state to clearly state how to issue this imperial coins?"

Wan Jun asked, "How much silver can one tael of gold be used in the market now?"

Wen'an's way, "One tael of gold can be about ten taels of silver."

Wan Jun said again, "How much silver is a stone of rice worth now?"

Wen'an's way, "Now our army's grain supply is gradually stabilizing. Before, a stone of rice is priced at two or four cents, but now it is about one or two taels of silver and one stone."

Wan Jun thought about the currency in his memory, "This is easy to deal with. We issue three types of paper money. Big money can be exchanged for one or two gold, medium money is one tenth of the big money, small money is one percent of the big money, and a dou of rice."

Wen'an's way, "How will the value of paper money change in the future if the gold and silver ratio fluctuate, or the rice price fluctuates?"

Wan Jun smiled and said, "As long as the purchasing power of the currency is maintained and the price fluctuations in the market will not affect the value of the currency. We set up a bank, control the issuance of currency, and then engage in real estate, hahahaha."

Wen'an was confused and confused, "What bank, what real estate?"

Wan Jun said, "Banks are like money shops, but only the state can open a large bank and control the issuance of paper money. If there is not enough money in the market, I will issue more, and if there is more money, I will issue less. Small banks are more convenient, and can provide loans to the people or save money."

Seeing that Wen Anzhi was still pondering the meaning of it, Wan Jun said, "You can't do this alone. Let Xie Xiaoni come back. She has been in the China Trade Fair for so long, so she must know the meaning of it!"

Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Wanjun rushed back to Chang'an City. Before he had time to rest for a while, he couldn't help but reach out and flipped over a pile of folds, "What else is there to do? Tell me quickly."

While Wen Anyi was holding a lamp, he handed a note and said, "This is the list of eunuchs serving the head of state and the harem."

Wan Jun said speechlessly, "What eunuch is needed? I will marry the king... Princess Rui and I also want eunuchs?"

Wen'an's way, "Although there is only Princess Zhu in the harem, Zhao Guangyuan is a man after all, and it is somewhat inconvenient to walk in front of Princess Zhu."

Cui Ziyi waited aside for a long time and couldn't help but interrupt, "It's a pity that I've been walking around a lot, and many people have actually talked about me as the eunuch who serves the head of state."

Cui Ziyi's words made Wan Jun and Wen An laugh at each other, and Wen An's words, "Although the head of state only has one Princess Zhu now, if there are too many concubines in the future, it will be inconvenient without eunuchs."
