Warrior Xun's answer was satisfactory, and Li Po was a little disappointed.
Li Po understands the value and characteristics of coins better than anyone else.
This thing not only makes transactions more convenient, but also reflects the strength and credibility of a country.
It is not difficult to get people in your own country to use coins minted in your country, but it is more difficult to get foreigners to recognize it.
Not to mention what happened next, given the conditions of the world, it was so difficult to transport goods. Let’s not mention the volume of goods. Let’s just say that the Western Regions were almost a trip away. Merchants had to put all their wealth and lives on it. Who can rest assured that they will be safe in this place?
Using the currencies of two countries to conduct transactions in an unfamiliar place?
The Central Plains were already in chaos, and the Western Regions were even more chaotic. Who could have the credibility to let coins circulate in the market?
The last sentence of Samurai Xun is indeed correct. If you want to make a fuss about coins, you have to fight with swords and defeat the opponent. Then you have the final say.
If you want to control other people's lives with money just like you did later, it is obviously inappropriate at this time.
And later on, it was not easy. It needed to be supported by huge national and military power, otherwise it would not be possible to play like this.
…………
Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Samurai Yu knew that his answer might be a bit mediocre, but as a businessman, he did have a say in this.
Not to mention going to the Western Regions, even if the Turks came to Jinyang to trade, they would never use the five baht from the former Sui Dynasty. Even if you wanted to use the money to buy something, if you spent it in Jinyang, they would not do it.
Without consent.
So even though he racked his brains on this matter, he couldn't come up with any good ideas...
Li Po touched his forehead and said with a smile: "It seems that I have thought too much. They all say that money can help the gods. Now it seems that swords and guns are more effective than anything else."
The warrior Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said with an apologetic smile: "Your Majesty, it is clear that what merchants are afraid of is not just swords and guns. When the world is in chaos, merchants will lose their roots.
Like Li Gui, Xue Ju and others back then were all well-known big businessmen. They had a fortune of tens of millions and had endless money to spend. However, within a few years of doing something, they ended up with all their belongings gone and their families ruined..."
Li Po looked at the warrior Xun and said: "In this way, they are not as good as Qing. In the past ten years, Qing has not only been able to maintain his family wealth, but also make his family prosperous. It is not easy."
Those who heard this were frightened. Yang hugged her daughter tightly and moved her body uneasily.
The warrior Xun was not very afraid, and immediately flattered him: "If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could my family be like this? Your Majesty opened and closed the country vertically and horizontally, wiped out the princes, unified the inner world, and made great contributions to the world, and his good deeds will last for thousands of years.
I am very lucky to be able to serve His Majesty."
This flattery was not as expected, but it was still very comfortable to shoot.
Li Po laughed and said, "Have the food and wine been prepared? Could what you said be used to accompany the wine?"
The warrior Xun was overjoyed. The emperor actually wanted to have a meal in his palace. This was incredible, considering that only a few families in the capital had this honor.
…………
Li Po also reluctantly gave up the opportunity to have a meal at his mother-in-law's house and stayed at the warrior Xun's house.
Whenever he travels, he usually goes to one of those houses casually, and then rushes to have dinner at his mother-in-law's house. He usually doesn't go on business trips.
Before Wei Zheng went to Luoyang, he often advised him not to do this, as he might give the assassin a chance at some point. Li Poshen thought so, but never changed his mind.
Anyway, he was not sure about his trip, and he was accompanied by a large group of guards, so he basically didn’t have to worry about safety issues, and he didn’t have a damn sniper rifle...
…………
This time he stayed in the Wu Mansion, of course it was not because of the nice words of the warrior Yu.
When the food and wine were delivered, Li Po took a look and saw that they were all exquisite. He tasted the taste and was pleasantly surprised. The food at the warrior Xun's house was quite to his taste. He couldn't help but think that Monopoly Wu had prepared many cooks.
Wu Erniang had already been hugged, and he thought that when Wu Fu grew up and learned how to cook, he must let her cook a meal...
After drinking a few drinks with Samurai Yu, we started talking about household affairs. There were so many topics, so I just picked a few.
After talking for a while, when Mrs. Yang was pouring wine for him, he took the opportunity to ask: "The Yang family of Hongnong has been famous all over the world for a long time. Is the ancestral home still safe now?"
Apart from brother Yang Gongren, it seems there aren’t many talents?”
The warrior Xun couldn't help being startled when he heard this and looked at his wife.
Yang almost spilled the wine, glanced up, quickly lowered her head, filled the wine steadily, then took a few steps back and sat down, leaned over and said, "I have been away from Hongnong for several years and have never gone back.
Yes, but Your Majesty asked me, and I dare not refuse to answer.
In the past few years, wars broke out one after another, and many of Yang's children were killed. Even his cousin, who showed his kindness, almost died of starvation, how about others?
Those who have been able to survive till now, such as Concubine Shen and others, are just fish in the cauldron. They may be cooked and eaten at some time. Now it is entirely dependent on His Majesty's protection to live a stable life. How can we dare to talk about talents? According to Concubine Shen
In my humble opinion, it would be better if there were fewer talents.”
The answer was very measured. Li Po smiled and asked about Yang's family affairs casually.
The Yang family did indeed suffer a big loss. Li Yuan killed some people for trivial matters. What caused the Hongnong Yang family to be severely damaged was the Yang Xuangan Rebellion.
As the main branch of the Yang family at that time, almost all of the Yang Su lineage was implicated by Yang Xuangan, a prodigal son, and was uprooted by Yang Guang.
The lineage of Guan Wang Yang Xiong also suffered a great impact.
And Yang Mudan was born in the Yang Shao lineage, and her descendants were not prosperous. When she came to Yang Mudan, her elder brother Yang Mian was an official in Luoyang and was killed by Wang Shichong. His only son Yang Quanjie survived, but unfortunately he followed Li Jiancheng.
During the Tongguan Rebellion, Yang Quanjie was imprisoned and sent back to Chang'an. Now he relies on his two aunts for help and is unwilling to become an official.
After the warrior Yun resurrected, he wanted to help his nephew who could still walk around the house from time to time when he was unlucky. But when he asked about it, he was told that he was the only one left in his lineage and that it could not be cut off.
After losing his bloodline, he just wanted to give birth to the baby at home. He was obviously very scared and did not want to get involved in officialdom anymore.
It is true that the Yang family has a large number of people and numerous connections. Back then, it was no worse than the Li family in Longxi, but it could not help but fate. Nowadays, there are really few people in the Yang family in Hongnong who can take on the task.
The emperor looked pleasant, and although the things he asked were a bit sensitive, Yang still told the truth one by one.
The former royal family had withered so much. Yang's eyes became red as she spoke. Most of her childhood playmates died violently. She usually didn't want to think too much about it, but it was really uncomfortable to talk about it at this time.
Li Po also held a moment of silence for Yang...
It's hard to ask Yang Gongren and Yang Xu brothers about these things, but you can listen to them from Yang Mudan. His shortcomings of having too few relatives are becoming more and more obvious.
The descendants are gradually gaining power, so should they support the Yang family?
It's just that this requires a certain amount of tacit understanding...
