The summer air dissipates and the cool autumn wind blows.

Ying Zheng ended his summer vacation in Ganquan Palace and moved his car back to Xianyang Palace. Li Si's unified measures promoted by him were always a little less than Ying Zheng's momentum.

On the last day of August, Ying Zheng once again convened the court for discussion.

Compared with the Grand Court meeting, the scale of the court discussion was smaller. Except for the important officials in Xianyang, only the doctors sent six representatives to participate.

In the side hall of Xianyang Palace, the ministers and doctors of Qin each sat down, silent without saying anything, and were all thinking about countermeasures.

Meng Tian was wearing a dress and sat at the top of the right side of the side hall, and his eyes fell on Li Si from time to time.

Today's topics are mostly initiated by Li Si.

"Your Majesty, today we will be united, and the country will be unified, and the road will be well connected. However, the old lands of the six countries in Shandong still circulate the old coins of the six countries, which will be exchanged for each other, and it is inconvenient to exchange them. I ask Your Majesty to order the old coins of the six countries to abolish them and use half a tael of Qin in a unified manner."

After Ying Zheng sat down, he had seen courtesy with his ministers. Li Si stood up and started the first report.

"What do you guys think?"

Ying Zheng did not directly express his attitude, but instead threw the problem to the ministers who participated in the court discussion.

The Qin State had just emerged from the chaotic times of the Warring States Period, and the court still retained the ancient style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the monarch and ministers discussed the country together. The Qin State monarch had great power and did not really make a decree.

Important national affairs and the court discussions are the generally accepted view at this time.

"I think the Left Prime Minister is right, and the currency system is different in different places and the circulation is chaotic, which is not conducive to the transfer of goods and transportation."

After Li Si finished speaking, Chen Chi, the young mansion, immediately agreed.

The Shaofu was in charge of the royal finances and needed money. After the Qin State unified the world, Xianyang was expanded and materials were purchased from the old land of the six countries. The heads of Guizhou in the six countries did not recognize the Qin State and Chen Chi felt very upset.

The ministers of Qin had surprisingly consistent opinions on the unified currency system. A country's coins are related to national finance, and unified coins are a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Meng Tian also agreed with Li Si's proposal in his heart.

Li Si's desire for power is very strong, but it has to be admitted that many of Li Si and Ying Zheng's practices are indeed conducive to the shaping of China's unified consciousness.

"Your Majesty, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qianshou of Shandong has been used to local coins for hundreds of years. The rash provision that only half a tael of Qin's coins will cause inconvenience to the Qianshou's interactions. I hope Your Majesty will slow down."

At this time, Fu Sheng's voices of opposition came from the doctoral group.

Meng Tian turned his head and saw Fu Sheng trying hard to stand up, with a righteous face on his face, not as if he was fake.

This Fu Sheng came from Wei territory. His ancestors were great merchants from Wei territory, and their families contained hundreds of millions of Wei coins.

Thinking of this, Meng Tian understood why Fu Sheng opposed it.

Once the Qin State abolishes the old money of the six countries, Qin Banliang is the only circulating currency. A merchant family like Fusheng and a wealthy family with old money in their homes will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"The Qianshou people are used to using old money, and suddenly change, which is suspected of disturbing the people."

Kong Feng, Chunyu Yue, Bao Bailing, Gui Zhen and others, these doctors from Shandong, were all in unison and opposed it.

It was not easy to read in ancient times. People who had a collection of books at home and had successful knowledge were either rich or noble at home. The measures to unify the currency system of Qin were obviously not in line with their interests.

"Your Majesty, the scholars in Shandong are pedantic."

At the end of the doctor's seat, Zhou Qingchen from Shu clasped his fists and said, "The old coins cast by the six countries in Shandong are not just as simple as money, but also represent the memories of the Qianshou of the six countries. Every time the Qianshou of the six countries use old coins, he will think of the six countries in Shandong. If such memories are not cut off, when will our Qin State be kind and kind to the Qianshou of the Shandong?"

After Zhou Qingchen said this, Meng Tian’s eyes lit up and she couldn’t help but look at Zhou Qingchen more.

This new doctor in Shu still has some stuff in his stomach.

The doctors in Xianyang were mainly from Shandong. The Qin people might feel that they were dull and specially recruited Qin people who were proficient in literature. Shu was safe and was a little far from Guanzhong, and their literary style was better than Guanzhong.

Zhou Qingchen's family was in Chengdu, Shu, and his family had land and houses, which was not particularly rich. However, if his ancestors had dated Shu Shou, they could read the books collected by the county magistrate's office, which made Zhou Qingchen's scientific name come true.

"Qin State annexes the six countries by force and unify the world, and practice benevolence and righteousness to conquer the hearts of Shandong people. As long as Your Majesty can practice benevolence and righteousness, show kindness and benevolent government, the Qianshou of Shandong will naturally be loyal to Qin."

Kong Feng glanced at Zhou Qingchen in disgust. As a Qin man, he called himself a Confucian scholar, which really insulted Confucius' reputation.

There are no scholars in Qin, which is the consensus of the whole world.

"The world uses one kind of coin to facilitate the exchanges between Guizhou and Guizhou."

"Guizhou is used to old money and cannot be replaced easily."

······

The palace of discussions has two perspectives that confront each other continuously. Later, it is almost impossible to start a personal attack.

Meng Tian sighed deeply.

No wonder Ying Zheng and Confucian scholars are getting farther and farther away. The doctors in Xianyang are quick to speak and slow to act. It’s okay to let them argue and quarrel, but they can’t come up with a charter.

"Enough." Ying Zheng, who was in the main position, reached out to stop the doctors' arguments. "As the hundreds of schools say, the world is united, and of course, the world can only use one kind of coin. The proposal of the Left Prime Minister is very consistent with my heart."

"I'm afraid."

Li Si bowed to Ying Zheng from afar, saying that he was afraid and his pride was written on his face.

"How should the unification of the currency system in the world be implemented in the opinion of the Left Prime Minister?" Ying Zheng asked immediately.

"I think that Your Majesty has ordered the abolition of the old money of the six countries. Those who dare to use the old money will be punished for the first time. If they commit the second time, they will be punished for the pounding of the city; if they commit the second time, they will be beaten to three hundred times."

After Li Si finished speaking, the elegant birds in the hall were silent.

The important officials in the court did not have the old coins of the six countries at home, had never studied finance, and could not feel the lethality in Li Si's words.

The Shandong people among the doctors felt bitter in their hearts and even more bitter in their faces. According to Li Si's policy, the old coins in their homes have since become a pile of scrap copper and iron, which cannot be circulated on the surface, and can only flow into the underground black market.

In this way, the wealthy family in Shandong will really suffer heavy losses.

"Your Majesty, I will directly order the abolition of old money, no."

Meng Tian raised the jade scepter in his hand and said, "The Qianshou heads of the six countries in Shandong have more or less old money at home. In remote places, the Qianshou heads are ignorant, and it is inevitable to use the old money in a short period of time. The Prime Minister's measures are too urgent."

"As the saying goes, those who share the same profit as the world will win, and those who harm the world will lose. Abolishing old money, the old money held by the Qianshou will be invalidated, and losing the wealth in the family will only make Qianshou feel resentful."

The alternation of regimes and the unity of coins are related to the financial stability of the country. Li Si directly abolished old money, issued laws and regulations, and implemented by Qin officials, which will achieve great results in a short period of time. In the long run, such measures can easily lose the hearts of the people of the six countries.

When Qin State was unified, the coins in the family became waste money, and everyone would be dissatisfied with it.

A hint of anger flashed in Li Si's eyes. Meng Tian was not opposed to abolishing the old money of the Six Kingdoms, but said that he was too anxious, which still made him feel very uncomfortable.

"The Marquis of Wuwei thought that the imperial court should implement the abolition of the old money of the six countries?"
