? Dayejian, Qianjian copper yard is in full swing. Craftsmen pour copper ore into copper furnace, lit the fire to melt it, and finally obtained copper water, and then carried out copper coins.

That is, the method of casting coins with stacked pottery/copper molds, which can cast nearly a hundred coins at a time, matured during the Wangmang period, but that is the method of casting coins with one side.

By the Xiaoliang period of the Southern Dynasty, the double-sided stacking method had matured and was gradually adopted by the money supervisors of all countries in the world.

The double-sided stacking method is naturally more convenient than the single-sided stacking method. The copper/ceramic coin model has lower losses and high utilization rate. This method is used by Daye Coin Monitoring. A can of bright copper water can be poured into stacking and solidified into copper coins, which can be formed by hundreds of text at a time.

The adogs with round outer and square inner circle are strung on a square cross-section wooden rod, and then as the wooden rod rotates, the craftsman uses grinding stone to polish the outer edge of the copper coin, and then proceeds to the next step.

Craftsmen wearing bagless clothes string copper coins together, which is for "shouqian", thousands of documents are for silk, and hundreds of documents are for the road. For the convenience of inspection, the copper coins produced by the money supervisor are for the road.

Even if it is one hundred citrus, it takes time to string it together. The craftsmen coded copper coins in the bamboo trough, and the one hundred citrus was just enough. Then they used bamboo sticks tied with hemp rope to pass through the money hole of the hundred citrus, and the money was put on.

Next is to check the copper coins that were randomly inspected and placed in the same bamboo coins tank. The length should be equal to the length of the standard Yimo copper coins. The qualified amount of the coins are packed and sealed.

The carriage was carrying boxes of copper coins and drove away from the money steward. More than ten wooden cages were lined up at the gate. Some people stood in the wooden cages, with their heads stretched out from the top of the cage and their bodies inside the cage. They were all on tiptoe and could barely stand.

Under the sunlight, everyone's faces were in great pain. They were originally craftsmen and servants working in the money prison. Because they were greedy for copper coins and copper materials, they were punished here, and they were also warning their colleagues to take care of their own hands.

The money magistrate requires a large number of craftsmen, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons. Under the huge temptation of stealing money and copper materials, there is no shortage of people who take risks. The big magistrate Di Shiwen's method is also very simple and rough: deal with it according to the law to serve as a warning to others.

The vast convoy carrying heavy copper coins drove towards Wuchang City north of Daye Supervisory. A large number of soldiers were accompanied by escorts. Birds flew past in the sky, and a pile of bird poop fell on a cash box in a car with a squirting sound, leaving a grayish-white mark.

The official road from Daye to Wuchang is very spacious. As the convoy is marching, a large group of soldiers are heading north. They are the troops who have been replaced by Yangxin. They are going back to Huangzhou, Jiangbei to repair and let the soldiers disband and go home to work on farm work.

Long live Shi, the general of Kaifu, and walked in the middle of the team. After getting the raft from the rear, he ordered the queue to take aside and let the money transport convoy pass smoothly. The carriage under the banner of the money supervision drove past, and most of the soldiers were blinded.

Lun Fangyangxin several times, everyone knows that the carriage contains copper coins. Many of these copper coins are like them. They have to go to Jiangbei and then turn into military pay to come to their hands.

The yellow copper coins, heavy rice, and cheap cloth were taken home. Those who came to me were their parents, little bastards, and their white wives...

"What are you looking at? Don't be distracted by marching!"

The governor Shi Wanbao, who was carrying the flag, whispered to scold his curious subordinates. He came to Xiyang to find his brother Shi Longsui, and joined the government to start with small soldiers. He charged forward every battle and was awarded the position of governor based on military merits.

"Save the time, get on board the boat in Wuchang and you can go home!"

......

At Wuchang Wharf, a fleet of newly stopped vehicles was unloading, and one by one, cash boxes were unloaded from the carriage. Relevant personnel confirmed whether the seals and mud were intact one by one, and then randomly inspected them according to regulations.

A cash box passed by everyone. The inspector was about to open it, but he saw that there was bird shit on it. He waved his hand and said, "The next wooden box, open it for inspection!"

The servant opened the wooden box with tools, took out a string of copper coins, and after counting, the official ordered all the random inspection money to be collected and transported back to the Wuchang warehouse. According to regulations, the money will be allocated to Wuchang for use.

After the handover of the relevant personnel, the stamp was confirmed and the remaining cash box was loaded on the ship. The two loaders who had already been waiting on the side began to move the cash box under the supervision of the soldiers.

Two loaders and unloaders struggled to carry the cash box toward the cargo ship. The man in front slid and almost fell. Seeing that the cash box was about to fall, the nearby supervisor quickly stepped forward to support him.

The cash box with bird shit on the top was barely held back, but it didn't fall to the ground and cracked. This was a wooden box with seals. If something went wrong, everyone would be tortured.

"Be careful! I don't want the wages anymore, right?"

After finally loading the ship, the officers who were escorting the ship counted the number of cash boxes on their respective ships again. After everything was correct, the cargo ship carrying copper coins left the dock, and took advantage of the spring breeze to sail towards different destinations under the escort of the navy warship.

......

At a certain manor, several carriages were parked outside a yard. A group of men in civilian clothes rushed up and unloaded the boxes on the car. A man with the appearance of a leader asked softly: "Are you all ready?"

"It's ready, butler, the fire has risen and the materials are ready."

"Hurry, don't delay, these are the money that has just been shipped." The man urged, and everyone rushed to the yard with difficulty, and saw a stove in the yard was lit with fire.

"Hurry, unbox it!"

A tingling sound rang out, and the wooden box was pried open with a tool, and the remaining seal on it could be vaguely seen. A box was opened, revealing a string of copper coins inside.

"The skills of the official supervisor are good, ha!"

One person held the copper coin and exclaimed. The copper coin was yellow and heavy. It was a sufficient amount of official copper coins, also known as "full coins" on the market.

"Don't dismantle these boxes! Take them in the cellar and put them!"

Everyone divided their work, some carried the wooden box directly to the other side, while most of the wooden box was opened, and the boxes were carried to the top platform of the stove. Under the command of the foreman, boxes of copper coins and hemp ropes of coins were poured into the hot furnace together.

Someone remembered how many boxes of copper coins had been put in next to him. The empty wooden boxes were thrown on the ground. One of the wooden boxes had a gray-white mark on the top cover, which seemed to be a trace left by bird shit.

An old craftsman braved the high temperature and squinted his eyes at the furnace. After a moment, he opened his mouth and shouted: "The heat is here! Hurry up, put the materials quickly!"

Several people carried several large wooden barrels onto the top of the stove, poured the things inside into the stove at the high temperature, and then someone brought coarse cloth gloves and held an iron rod into the stove to stir. In just a moment, they were already wet.

"Switch people, change a stick, and keep stirring!"

After a while, the old craftsman shouted "Open the furnace". Everyone was busy at the edge of the furnace. When they opened the gate, bright copper water poured out and fell into pottery pots.

The copper water in the clay pot was poured into the ceramic items one by one. After they cooled down, someone divided the ceramic items into two, and coins appeared inside.

The shape of the coin is similar to the copper coins shipped before, but it is a little rougher, and the edges are not polished, so it is a bit rough. What's more, the coin is gray and black, not as yellow as the copper coins just now.

"Stew it together! The owner is waiting to use it!"

......

In the Huangzhou General Administration Office, Yuwen Wen sat behind the desk with a dark face. In front of the desk was Di Shiwen, the chief magistrate of Daye who was "face paralyzed". He handed a few copper coins to Yuwen Wen's hand. The copper coins were gray and black in their hands and were light and fluttering.

It looks the same as the coins minted by the official supervisor, but when you look closely, you will find that they are a bit rough, and there are burrs on the edges of the copper coin, which is obviously not polished.

"The general manager, the subordinate found privately minted coins from the market again."

Yuwen Wen did not say anything, picked up a copper coin and looked at it. After a moment, his eyes flashed with a cold light. He pinched the copper coin into a few pieces with a click. This was not his natural divine power, but because the copper coin was a bad coin.
