As soon as Wenyi finished speaking, he felt that the room suddenly became much brighter. Looking down, all the clan leaders stared at him with their titanium alloy dog ​​eyes flashing. The room was filled with the sound of men breathing heavily, as if they had seen him.

Like a peerless beauty.

Wenyi subconsciously crossed his arms and quickly realized that he was a man afraid of wool! He coughed twice and continued: "Everyone, before the auction, let's make the conditions clear.

First of all, you must not mistreat the prisoners, you must keep them fed and clothed, and you must ensure their safety.

Secondly, they must be registered in the Tang Dynasty after ten years.

After ten years, they will need to be hired according to the standards of Tang Dynasty people."

A quick-thinking person below immediately asked: "Wen Xiang, do you mean that we don't need to pay them wages within ten years?"

Hey, his brain works very quickly but it may not be easy to use. Didn’t you see that the other family heads were glaring at him?

Wenyi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then he plucked his ears and asked Wen Erba: "Erba, this wine is very good. I'll pack a jar and take it home later."

After receiving countless angry looks, the talkative guy also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and he quickly picked up the wine glass in a literary manner and drank it in one gulp: "This wine is really good, I will pack a bottle later.

Haha, haha..." Wenyi didn't want him to ruin the atmosphere that had just been coaxed, so he immediately returned to the topic: "Your Majesty has a decree: the bidding starts at 10 taels of silver for each prisoner of war, and the highest bidder will get it! But there is no free shipping!

Go to Datong City to pick them up yourself.

The auction is about to begin now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Bao, the head of the Yuan family, the first aristocratic family in Henan, immediately shouted: "My Yuan family has 15 taels and wants 10,000 people!"

Changsun Wuji followed closely: "My eldest grandson's family has 20 taels and wants ten thousand people!"

...Nearly 100,000 captives were sold for 250,000 in an instant! This also met the expectations of literature and art.

After all, various industries have just emerged, and Datang’s population base is too small, so its consumption capacity is limited.

In addition to wanting to get a good price for the captives, Wenyi First Time Auction also wanted to see how big the gap was in terms of labor.

If they had been given time to calculate carefully, I believe the figure of 250,000 would never have appeared! After all the family heads had made their bids, Wen Yicai said: "Everyone, I thought that 100,000 captives should be enough for you, but who knows what your needs are?

It's so big, and the number of people this time is too small. If the auction goes according to the original plan, some people will not be able to buy it. Everyone is our own people, so we can't have conflicts just because of a few prisoners.

Let's talk about it. Let's divide the 100,000 evenly first. After all, there will still be prisoners."

The red-faced family heads looked at each other and thought that Literary Art was right. Although they didn't know what happened on the front line, not everyone could defeat the unruly Turks until the entire army surrendered.

Thinking about it, if there were to be many more wars like this in the future, wouldn’t there be too many prisoners to use up?

Thinking about it again, after buying a prisoner, you still have to take care of food, clothing, and safety. Well, I was a little impulsive just now, so I need to calm down.

Soon, the close family heads got together and began to discuss the prisoner distribution plan.

After Wenyi drank two pots of grape wine, they discussed a plan that everyone accepted: 6,000 people from the Yuan family, 7,000 people from the Changsun family, 5,000 people from the Cui family... Each prisoner offered 100 taels! Wen Yi was happy, who?

He said that the aristocratic family was unpatriotic. He thought that if they could offer 30 taels for a prisoner, it would be a great honor. Who knew that they raised the price to 100 taels on the grounds that the soldiers had worked hard to fight for the country? Good people! What else can be said?

Wen Erba carried the four treasures of the study room and signed and stamped them on the spot.

Wenyi happily took the 9.7 million taels of notes into his arms, and thought happily: he could exchange for another 10 million taels of banknotes. This transaction was so easy! He asked who else could be better than me! Everyone returned happily.

The next day's court meeting was held as usual under the auspices of Li Jiancheng, but what was unusual was that behind Li Jiancheng stood a younger young man, also wearing a python robe and jade belt, with delicate features and delicate features that vaguely resembled Li Shimin's demeanor back then.

After the routine matters were dealt with, the young man stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Li Ke has written this."

Li Jiancheng also learned about his plan in the past few days, nodded and said: "What is it?"

Li Ke handed the memorial to the chamberlain and said: "Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty uses gold, silver, Tongbao, and cloth as currency. Although there are many types, they are not easy to carry and trade.

Gu Chen drafted a currency reform plan and wanted to replace the current metal currency with paper currency."

Li Jiancheng picked up the memorial and looked at it briefly before asking his chamberlain to hand the memorial to several prime ministers for viewing.

After everyone had read it once, Li Jiancheng asked: "Do you prime ministers have any objections?"

Wei Zheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty, after all, paper money is just a piece of white paper. How can it replace gold and silver?

Isn’t it child’s play?

I think it’s inappropriate.”

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu also rarely agreed with what Wei Zheng said.

Wenyi smiled and nodded towards Li Ke.

Li Ke straightened his back and said without being humble or arrogant: "What Mr. Wei said is wrong. If I dare to use banknotes to replace gold and silver, I can guarantee that the banknotes are absolutely unique. At least in the next ten years, no one will be able to forge the banknotes."

Moreover, the number of banknotes issued is based on the amount of gold and silver reserves, which ensures that the face value of each banknote is absolutely genuine."

Paper money was a new thing, and Wei Zheng couldn't find many reasons to object. Over and over again, he kept saying that paper money was made of paper, and there was no such thing as gold or silver.

Li Ke also used his big move: "I can't make Prime Minister Wei understand it no matter how much I explain, so why don't I show it to Prime Minister Wei again?"

Wei Xiang and others nodded, and Li Ke took out a note that Changsun Wuji had previously exchanged for supplies and said: "This is an IOU from Lord Changsun. He borrows 1,500 tons of 1.6mm iron sheet from Xiangwen at the price of 2 million taels. Please Mr. Changsun has taken a look at it to see if it is true."

Changsun Wuji took the IOU, looked at it and nodded, "This is indeed written by me."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Xiaguan had a batch of supplies worth exactly 2 million taels. Prime Minister Wen wanted it but did not have enough silver taels, so he transferred the IOU to Xiaguan. After the official verified that it was correct, he gave the batch of supplies to Literary appearance.

So in this process, did this piece of paper serve as 2 million taels of silver?

This is how paper money works."

Wei Zheng was stunned for a long time without thinking about it. He wanted to say that Li Ke was wrong, but the fact was that it was true. If Wenyi asked him to buy something with this IOU, he would sell it to him, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that they could not say anything, Li Jiancheng decided: "The plan of issuing banknotes is very good, but it is a new thing and cannot be achieved overnight.

Let’s do this, let Datang Bank conduct a trial operation around Chang’an, and report any problems in a timely manner.”

Wei Zheng heard that Li Jiancheng only agreed to pilot the project in Chang'an and no longer objected.

As a result, paper money, an epoch-making product, appeared in the Tang Dynasty without any trouble.

How big is its impact?

You can imagine that a few years later the treasury will occupy an area larger than the palace! Li Ke was appointed as the vice president of Datang Bank, responsible for the promotion of banknotes.

He was so relaxed about literature and art that he ran home as soon as he went to work. He wanted to make some fireworks more than anything else. He was about to get married! How could there be no fireworks! Just when he was busy with fireworks, in the distant universe

, on a planet with green mountains and green waters, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, a middle-aged man in his 40s and a young man in his 20s were lying leisurely on a deck chair made of naturally woven vines, chatting.

The middle-aged man took a sip of fresh coconut and asked: "How is the progress?"

The young man glanced in the direction of the earth and replied lazily: "Sooner than expected, the Turks have been taken care of. Now he can be said to have reached his limit. If he wants to go up further, he cannot do it alone."

The middle-aged man thought lazily for a while and then said: "Then raise the IQs of his assistants."

The young man nodded and said: "This is easy to handle, but let him continue to develop like this?

Why not give him some enemies or something?

Even if you write a novel, you can’t do it without a villain, right?”

The middle-aged man thought for a while: "Villain?

Is there any use for fur?

He will eventually die at the hands of the protagonist, just wait and see, I want to see how far he can go with his free development."

The young man said without hesitation: "How far can we go?

It’s only at the fourth grade level of elementary school. The earth’s resources are too few, not even the metal that can collect dark matter.”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Then put a little metal on the earth."

The young man shook his head and said: "Then he will be able to reach the level of fifth grade elementary school in his previous life, and he will definitely not be able to graduate.

And he hasn’t found any clues about the key yet.”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Then he is really stupid, so he should find someone to help him."

The young man nodded: "I really want to ask Prince to go there?"

The middle-aged man said after a while: "The Princes are too far away. It would be bad to scare ordinary people on the earth. You should just create one."

It just makes up for him the resources that the earth lacks. It doesn’t need to be too much, just enough for him to squander.”

The young man thought for a while and nodded: "Brother, can you stop being so lazy?

You don’t even want to use your brain, but you know I’m doing all the hard work!”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Those who are able should work harder. Brother, I have been busy for hundreds of thousands of years. I finally got you here, so can't you work more?"

The rest is up to you to figure out for yourself. I want to sleep a little longer. What a wonderful sun! It would be a pity not to get some sleep."

After saying that, he changed into a comfortable position and fell asleep.

The young man rubbed his belly full of coconut juice and said to himself: "Tsk, isn't it just lazy? You still have so many excuses! Why aren't you lazy to death?"

The young man threw the empty coconut into the sky and slowly walked towards his studio.

While walking, I pondered: “Create a race?

Well, let's take Atlantis. It's right in the Atlantic Ocean. It's so close that it's easy to find excuses.

Resources, 箛,瀞,啕...all have to be prepared.
