Fang Congzhe said: "Your Majesty, Xuanzong's past events were due to Xuanzong's kindness, and the ministers still followed the two names without partiality.
There have never been two names at the same time.
Now your Majesty has the whole name engraved on the sword, which is unprecedented.
Something happened, so I was terrified."
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I understand the meaning of the first assistant.
I did this on purpose because I checked the taboos these days and found that the system of taboos began in the Zhou Dynasty, but only in this temple.
There are no strict taboos in living people.
At that time, there were so-called taboos in reading, not tabooing in writing, and not tabooing in names.
Whether it was in rituals or in the Spring and Autumn Period, the king's name was not taboo. " "But after entering the Han Dynasty, taboos became stricter.
For example, Liu Bang's state was changed to a country, Lu's pheasant was changed to a pheasant for his descendants, and Liu Xiushi's scholar was changed to Maocai, all of which show that taboos were already popular at that time."
"Taboos are divided into taboos for respectable people, taboos for relatives, and taboos for wise people.
You don't need to worry about taboos for relatives, because it is other people's family affairs, but taboos for respectable people and taboos for wise people, I think it is possible.
A matter of discussion.”
Ye Xianggao said angrily: "Does your Majesty want to abolish the taboo?
I will never agree with this."
Fang Congzhe, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan also said together: "Your Majesty, please think deeply."
Sun Chuanting hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing taboos is of great importance.
If we act rashly, I am afraid it will cause an uproar."
Ye Conggao said: "Whatever I'm afraid of, I will definitely do it."
Zhu Youxiao saw that the five cabinet ministers were all opposed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Then there was an awkward silence in the palace.
Bi Ziyan wanted to break the silence.
He thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you just don't be shy about your Majesty's name, because Xuanzong once did it, only a few people can get the Zhongyong Sword, so it's not that big of a deal.
Waves.
As for other taboos, even if His Majesty orders it, it is not a problem that can be solved temporarily. " Zhu Youxiao glanced at him gratefully and said: "Then just stop being shy about my name.
My ancestors of the Ming Dynasty follow the principle of not using any taboo between names.
How about that?"
Ye Xianggao sighed, this emperor is good at everything, and he is usually willing to listen to the opinions of his ministers, but sometimes his thoughts are really unpredictable.
Why would he specifically bring up the taboo matter?
It's really hard to understand why we have obviously promoted saints to a very high level, but they still want to bring up taboos.
In fact, he had complicated thoughts about Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao just felt that avoiding taboos was inconvenient in daily life, and the matter was completely meaningless in his opinion.
If we want to respect ancestors and sages, avoiding taboos is not a good way.
Wouldn’t it be more effective and better to build ancestral halls to offer sacrifices?
Zhu Youxiao said: "Since the two names are not taboo, there are two things I want to change.
One is the name of the school, and the other is the origin of the coin."
Fang Congzhe said: "If your Majesty must insist, the school has existed since ancient times, but there is not much difference between the school and the school.
Why must it be changed?
One Yuan.
The veteran also thinks it is good.
Although it is a bit vulgar, money is a vulgar thing.
Isn’t it normal to use common names for common things?”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Because I am planning to establish a complete currency system, the units I have decided are yuan, jiao, and cents.
However, using blocks as the unit makes me feel uncomfortable."
People don’t understand why it’s okay to use Yuan but uncomfortable to use Yuan.

But this is just a trivial matter.
Anyway, some people still use the word Yuanbao now.
In fact, the name "school" is not much different from "school", but the emperor must use "school".
It seems that the emperor just wanted to make a gesture of not being shy, and would rather let his name and that of his ancestors be used freely.
Bi Ziyan asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you think using the word "kuai" will make people think of a piece of silver?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "With this in mind, using yuan as a unit seems more formal.
The word "kuai" is indeed too vulgar, and I hope that everyone will not regard coins as vulgar objects.
At most, "kuai" can be used as a common name for yuan."
Ye Xianggao said: "The number of Zhongyong Swords is small anyway, and this old minister's objection is ineffective.
But now the school is good, must it be changed into a school?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "This is not necessary.
But in the future, a new school will be established.
In order to distinguish it from the original school, it can be named after the school.
For example, the Jiangwu Hall is now a school for training officers, and if it is established again in the future A similar school is called a military academy, and it is a military academy for different branches of the military.”
Ye Xianggao nodded and said: "If this is just the case, I think there is nothing wrong with it.
I just hope that your Majesty can reduce the number of Zhongyong Swords.
It is best not to have full names engraved on them."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said nothing.
Ye Xianggao also knew that it was a done deal now, and the emperor would not agree not to engrave his full name, but when he thought it was his own name, he let him go, as long as all the taboos were not told.
So on the matter of avoiding taboos, at least now Zhu Youxiao has the upper hand.
Although there were only twenty swords, when the weekly newspaper reported on the graduation ceremony of the Jiangwu Hall, it specifically noted all the words engraved on the Zhongyong sword, which let everyone know that the emperor was not willing to avoid his name.
Since the emperor has done this, if some officials still avoid naming taboos, wouldn't it mean that they are more noble than the emperor?
The Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty also specifically stated in its weekly report that it will issue new copper coins: five copper coins and fifty copper coins.
One silver coin was renamed one yuan, fifty copper coins was called one dime, and five copper coins was called one cent.
The original one-cent copper coins continued to circulate, and holders of one jiao and one cent could exchange silver coins and one-cent copper coins at the bank at any time without any handling fees.
The difference in weight between the one dime and one cent copper coins is limited to that of the one copper coin.
When they were first issued, people were suspicious and thought it was a way for the imperial court to deprive people of their wealth.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wants banks to be able to exchange silver coins and copper coins at any time.
As long as this continues for a period of time, everyone will recognize one dime and one cent copper coins, and their convenience is obviously better than one copper coin.
Zhu Youxiao believes that within a few years, the credit of this new monetary system will be established, which can greatly reduce the consumption of copper bars in the mint, and can provide an important reference for the issuance method of banknotes.
Once everyone got used to dimes and cents, it became relatively easy to accept banknotes.
Sure enough, after the new currency was issued, no one came to the bank to exchange the dimes and cents.
Agricultural cooperatives began to use dimes and cents in transactions, and claimed that they welcomed the use of dimes and cents.
When using dimes and cents to purchase items in agricultural cooperatives, you can enjoy certain discounts
