"Husband, practicing calligraphy doesn't happen overnight. Let's finish eating first, haha!"

In the study room of the Champion Marquis' Mansion, when he saw Wang Bing working hard at his desk, the female instructor who came with a food box couldn't help but smile teasingly at Wang Bing.

"That's right, at best, wait until your sister Yunqiao comes over and let her teach you slowly!"

As soon as the female instructor finished her teasing words, Princess Yongning's jealous voice followed her.

"You two can't see clearly and then get jealous. What kind of calligraphy do I have to practice?"

After taking the food box and quickly helping the two protected animals sit down, Wang Bing picked up the paper on the desk to prove his 'innocence'.

"Eh? Third brother, why did you draw the emperor's head in this circle?"

Looking at the profile picture in the circle on the white paper in Wang Bing's hand, Princess Yongning, who was originally jealous, couldn't help but look confused at this moment.

"Little sister, can you recognize that this is His Majesty? It seems that my husband is pretty good at painting, haha!"

Seeing that the little girl recognized the sideways portrait of the fat man he had drawn at a glance, Wang Bing felt relieved and put down the half-finished paper.

"Husband, why are you enclosing His Majesty's head? If anyone finds out, this is a taboo!"

After also recognizing that what Wang Bing drew was the portrait of the emperor, Little Fatty, the female instructor couldn't help but frowned with concern.

"Uh, what's a big taboo? I'm talking about a daughter-in-law. She just has an avatar. What's the big taboo?"

Seeing the female instructor's frown, Wang Bing couldn't help but be confused.

"Weary of victory, witchcraft!"

Looking at Yongning who was also confused, the female instructor couldn't help lowering her voice.

‘What the hell? Is this the legendary ‘Draw a Circle and Curse You’? I just drew a pattern for a new coin, how come it has something to do with this win-losing and witchcraft?’

When the female instructor said this, Wang Bing couldn't help but have black lines all over his head.

…

"This won't be a taboo, right?"

After lighting his eyes and putting down the pencil in his hand, Wang Bing once again handed the redesigned coin pattern to the female instructor and Princess Yongning.

"The five-clawed golden dragon symbolizes the true dragon emperor. This is much better than my husband's previous drawing of the emperor's head directly. But since what my husband drew is a coin pattern, didn't you find that there is something missing from the drawing? Ha ha ha!"

Looking at Wang Bing's front page with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern marked with the word 'One Liang' on the front, and a simplified diagram of the Forbidden City on the back with a coin pattern with the words 'Da Ming Dragon Silver', the female instructor laughed teasingly again.

.

"Something is missing? Nothing is missing?"

Looking at the pattern of the long-bearded dragon silver coin in his hand that was borrowed from the original history of the late Qing Dynasty, Wang Bing couldn't help but look confused.

"Hee hee, stupid third brother, my sister is saying that this money has no holes, it is missing the square hole in the middle for stringing the money!"

Seeing Wang Bing looking around in confusion, Princess Yongning couldn't help but remind her with a joking expression.

"Ah? So this is what you are talking about! Haha, the silver coin I designed for my husband is made of silver and does not use square holes..."

After figuring out that what was missing was the square hole in the middle, Wang Bing smiled and explained to the two of them.

“If money doesn’t have square holes, is it still money?”

When Wang Bing said that the silver coin did not have square holes, the female instructor and Yong Ning couldn't help but be puzzled.

There is no way, since the First Emperor unified China, for nearly two thousand years, the shape of this coin has always been a round coin with a square hole representing a round sky and a round place.

But now the coin pattern drawn by Wang Bing only has "heaven" and no "earth", so the two women are naturally puzzled by this.

"Haha, why is it not money without the square holes? The silver you use has square holes on it, so it can still be used as money! Besides, didn't you see the word 'one tael' on it?

If a hole is dug in the middle, wouldn’t the silver coin become larger?”

Although it was borrowed from the Long Bearded Dragon Silver Dollar of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Bing did not use 'yuan' as the unit, but chose the traditional 'liang' as the unit, in order to make it easier for ordinary people to accept this new coin.

.

After all, for a long time in China, gold and silver, as precious metals, have been measured by weight.

"Third brother, so one silver coin is one tael. If you can't find it when buying something, don't you still have to cut it?"

Speaking of which, since marrying Wang Bing, Princess Yongning, who originally had no idea about money, is now very familiar with these little things in life.

"Our little princess is so smart! But third brother has already thought about this, you see!"

After that, Wang Bing once again took out a few pieces of paper with only circles drawn on them. Then he picked up a pen and wrote the words five qian, two qian, and one qian next to them.

In addition, the last coin pattern that Wang Bing took out had a traditional round square hole style, and the words Yiwen were marked next to it.

"Look, after we have these coins, do we still need to cut the silver coins to make change?"

You must know that although the Ming Dynasty's jin liang is in hexadecimal, the unit of measurement of gold and silver is decimal. Therefore, dividing the silver coins into four units of one liang, five qian, two qian and one qian is enough to solve the problem of finding

Nothing happened.

In addition, he finally designed the round square hole money 'wen' in the traditional style as a supplement, and the final exchange issue between the silver coin and the 'money making' was also resolved.

…

"Husband, is this okay?"

"Third brother, for this important matter of the country, we still..."

When Wang Bing put the pencil into the hands of the female instructor and Yong Ning, both women became a little nervous.

"Haha, what's wrong with this? You have forgotten that the inscription on Mount Fuji in Japan was still made by you! Besides, this is just a drawing. Whether it will be used in the end depends on your majesty's choice."

Not allowing the two girls to refuse any more, Wang Bing placed the blank 'circles' in front of them.

"Husband, what should we draw?"

Seeing Wang Bing's unwillingness to refuse, the female instructor and Yong Ning finally became excited and eager to give it a try.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's flowers, birds, fish, insects or anything else, as long as it can represent my Ming Dynasty. After all, this silver coin is equivalent to the face of my Ming Dynasty!"

Seeing that the two girls were hesitant, Wang Bing casually gave them some suggestions.

"Something that can represent the Ming Dynasty?"

After hearing Wang Bing's suggestion, the two women couldn't help but start thinking.

"Yes, husband, what do you think of Peony?"

Soon, the female instructor's eyes lit up and she came up with the idea of ​​using peonies as the obverse pattern of the five-cent silver coin.

"The peonies are blooming like brocade and brilliant, which just symbolizes the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. Sister Nanwei, you chose this pattern well! But after all, it is to be printed on coins, so this pattern should not only highlight the shape and spirit of peonies, but not too much."

It’s better to be too complicated.”

Wang Bing quite agreed with the peony pattern proposed by the female instructor.

"Third brother, plum blossoms are tenacious and noble. How about using plum blossoms for these two cents of silver?"
