Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

However, Zhan Hui also knew that Fu Youwen had always been so cunning, so he stood up and said, "I second the proposal. A new dynasty should have a new atmosphere. The Hongwu Tongbao coins currently circulating in the market were minted and issued in the first year of the Hongwu reign. Since it was the reign that created the world, it is natural that there should be Kaiqian Tongbao coins."

Compared to other trivial things.

Minting new coins is a big deal. Although the six ministers each have their own responsibilities, they are all the country's top talents who have been selected through an extremely rigorous imperial examination process and trained in the Hanlin Academy before taking office. It is natural for them to express their opinions on this.

More importantly, this is a good thing.

Everyone knows that a new official has three major things to do when he takes office. Issuing currency with his own reign title is a temptation and vanity that you cannot refuse no matter how old you are, let alone a teenager.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes. Who wouldn’t seize the opportunity to make progress?

Done.

Zhan Hui glanced at Fu Youwen sideways, unwilling to be outdone.

Fu Youwen raised his eyebrows at this, his face showing a smug look of having taken the initiative, thinking to himself, "Anyway, I was the one who brought this up first!"

Moreover, as the Minister of Revenue, he was most familiar with this and had of course made sufficient preparations long ago.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He continued, "Minting new coins is a matter of great importance. The specific details require careful discussion and consideration."

"The Hongwu Tong Bao coins currently in circulation were minted in the first year of the Hongwu reign. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was just beginning to rise, and after years of war, everything needed to be rebuilt. Due to the scarcity of copper, the casting of Hongwu Tong Bao coins was extremely complex, with waste coins and old copper generally used, resulting in varying copper qualities."

"Since we want to cast Kaiqian Tongbao..."

"Your humble servant requests your permission to gather the efforts of our craftsmen to remedy the shortcomings of the past and design a unified style and measurement. This will not only demonstrate Your Majesty's divine power, but also demonstrate the virtue of our glorious Ming Dynasty throughout the world!"

Since he had anticipated that there would be many tedious matters today, he deliberately put this matter to the end to curry favor with Zhu Yunhuan. Naturally, he had also thought of a unique idea to please Zhu Yunhuan.

This long-planned advancement tactic was naturally beyond the reach of Zhan Hui, who could only silently criticize Fu Youwen in his heart: "This old fox!"

All the nicest words were said to Fu Youwen.

Zhan Hui could only reluctantly add, "Your Majesty's grace is felt throughout the world. I second this motion."

As for everyone else.

No one who can rise to the position of head of the six ministries is stupid. Zhan Hui knows how to make progress, and so do others.

Naturally, they all complained and bowed at the same time.

They all echoed, "Master Fu, your thoughts are sound, and I deeply agree with you!"

Just the next moment.

Everyone noticed something unusual... Qin Kui, the Minister of Works... this guy didn't even step out to second the motion! ! ? ?

Because Qin Kui stood still.

So the situation in the hall now is: the Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, the Minister of Rites Zhan Hui, the Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai... a total of five heads of ministries are outside the line. In the original line, the lonely Qin Kui is particularly conspicuous.

Seeing this, the others were all surprised and cast hesitant glances at Qin Kui.

And Qin Kui about this.

Still indifferent!!

At this point, the five people who were busy standing out and vying for progress all started to feel nervous in their hearts... They felt inexplicably uneasy.

Who is this person who doesn't follow the crowd and is different?

None of them are like this.

Of course...

"What does this Qin Kui... mean!?"

"He's currently a close and trusted figure of His Majesty, and he even has the credit of being a 'cheap cloth'. He's been ignoring everyone and making no friends lately, becoming a lone minister. This has only made His Majesty value him even more..."

"But he's not someone who doesn't want to fight with the world..."
