Chapter 177 The Great Painter Pei
Pei Yan is a person who cannot rest. The plan to crack down on evil coins has been determined. The emperor also followed his persuasion and suppressed the formal will first. When the money minting courtyard is ready to stop working, it will be announced.
Pei Yan originally thought he would encounter major obstacles in the Money Cricketing Courtyard. He knew very well what those lazy people were.
It is harder to make them work diligently than to reach the sky.
But to his surprise, he had just contacted him, but found that the officer of the Money Cashing Academy was smiling and agreed very happily.
Why didn't you agree?
Although the Coin Casting Institute is an official coin minting agency, there is only a little bit of copper and tin in the workshop.
If you want them to work more, it is impossible for a good cook to cook without rice and you can do nothing.
Of course, I agreed so well. I want to help us work. I can do it. I will provide enough raw materials.
Poor Lao Pei arrived at home happily, and then he remembered that someone had put on a trick of these shameless things.
When the copper mine in Yizhou resumes mining, I will definitely make them look good!
On the table in front of me, the rice paper was already laid and clean, and I was waiting for its owner to finish writing.
Pei Yan was in a bad mood today, so he put his official duties aside and focused on fighting against bad money.
He listened to all the suggestions made by Fan Xian. Not only did he listen to them, but when he got home, he also used a small notebook to re-clutter them, for fear that he would forget them after a long time.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Although Pei Fanxian has given him a lot of advice on how to manage bad money, he still has no idea.
So he planned to start with the simplest one.
One circle, one square, one square, and another circle.
Kaiyuan Tongbao, Baotongyuan opens. From doing to right or from right to left.
Pei Yan wrote and painted on white paper, intending to draw all the popular bad money patterns on the market by himself.
This way, you can be familiar with the bad money styles on the market and do some preparations, and finally you don’t waste time.
After a moment, Pei Yixian pushed the door open and entered, holding a purse in his hand. Looking at the falling ball, he knew that there were a lot of copper coins in the bag.
"Is the matter done?" Pei Yan put down his pen and looked at his work intoxicatedly.
Pei Yichang responded a few times first.
Very good!
I am really talented!
Pei Yi first opened his wallet and all kinds of coins spread all over the floor.
Pei Yan was stunned when he saw it.
"So many!"
"Yes, Aye, I've been traveling in the street market for several days as you told me, some have been exchanged for myself and some have been selected by merchants."
"The bad money styles that are popular on the market should be here."
Pei Yan held the bad money in his hands and looked at it one by one. Before the great achievements began, he began to feel a lot of resistance.
There are dozens of kinds of bad money spread on the ground.
Things are indeed as Fan Xian said, quite complicated.
Some of these bad money are simply insufficient in weight. In other words, depending on their style, the handwriting on it can be identified. It is not from a private workshop. It was originally an official money, but it was artificially broken into pieces to obtain copper chips.
These copper coins are easy to say, but they are not weighed enough. If the court takes a step back, the copper coins originally from the coin metering courtyard can be barely used.
At least it can be used as a transitional measure to temporarily make up for the lack of coins.
But the rest are troublesome.
The so-called remaining ones are serious bad coins. Most of them are from private casting workshops in Jiangnan. The copper coins produced by these workshops are full of ways. Not to mention anything else, even the big words Kaiyuan Tongbao cannot be written clearly.
Often, the handwriting is blurred, and some even have no shortage of writing. If it weren't for the big deal this time, Pei Yan would never have noticed that the workmanship of this money is so rough.
"The money is all used on the market now?"
Pei Yan picked up a copper coin casually, and the weight was insufficient when he looked at it. The square hole in the middle of the copper coin was also very unclear.
After exerting some strength on your hands, the copper coins began to lose copper chips.
Pei Yan thought of the popular goose-eyed money in the Southern Dynasty, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the one in his hand was probably not much stronger.
Pei Yichang first responded: "It is true, but according to the child's investigation, the majority of official money is still on the market. Among the about ten copper coins, there are the proportion of official six and evil four."
Pei Yan frowned. This silly boy, he was so happy that he could laugh!
The ratio of official money and evil money has reached 6 to 4. Can this be called less?
Alas!
How come the Qianfeng Reform in the past few years failed?
Pei Yan felt a few times when he saw these various copper coins. If he had succeeded at least half of the time that year, the bad money on the market would have been reduced by at least about 10%.
It’s not difficult to strike again now.
Unfortunately, that drastic change ended in failure. Not only did it fail to curb the spread of bad money, but it also made the market more chaotic copper coins with different shapes, making the order even more chaotic.
In order to find a look for Pei Yan, Pei Yi worked hard for several days and collected several of each of the various copper coins to prove that this kind of copper coins is widely circulated on the market.
Pei Yan had seen enough, so he picked out one and placed it on the table. Pei Yichang would clean up the rest first.
"Aye, are these all you painted?"
Yi Zhang got up first, and the pictures on the rice paper immediately came into his eyes. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Pei Yan was very proud: "Yes, I drew them all."
"Originally, all these things had to be handed over to the painters in the palace, but now hasn't the bad money been officially confiscated yet? Aye, I am idle and I do this."
"How is it? It's a good drawing!"
Pei Yan was proud. There were already seven or eight brothers Kong Fang on the rice paper, but they were far behind those circulating on the market.
"Just... it's quite unique." As his own son, he was helpless!
This man, why did he take on such a porcelain job without Diamond? Could it be that Lao Pei could not see that his painting skills were really funny?
From Pei Yixian's third-party perspective, we can see that many circular objects are indeed arranged scattered on the rice paper. From a distance, it looks like Brother Kong Fang, but from a close distance, it looks like a circle, and square cannot be square.
Fortunately, it is indeed different. You can clearly see the creator's intention, which is to try to distinguish the details of various bad money.
It’s just that the creator’s lack of ability is really hard to show.
When Pei Yan heard his son praise him, he was immediately confident and spread the untold copper coins in front of him.
As he said that, the brush was lifted up again.
"You first, go ahead and Aye will continue to draw."
Pei Yixian dared not let him continue. In the past, Pei Yan's painting skills were not good, because his works were all placed in the inner house and he never had the chance to meet outsiders. It would be fine if Lao Pei himself enjoyed it.
But now these patterns are to be handed over to the Money Citting Courtyard and posted in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City for the people to recognize them.
