Another year has passed in a hurry. Fang Xuanling stood in the royal study and looked at the falling snow outside. Zhao Yun and Li Mingda, who were waving their spears and fighting in the snow, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: What a special person!

I was wrapped in a thick bearskin to feel that the temperature was still okay. Outside, the two of them were wearing a set of thin samurai uniforms. The fight was so intense that I couldn't even breathe heavily.

As the New Year is approaching, officials of high rank from various places who need to come back to appeal for office have naturally come back, as often as once every two or three years. All official documents have been processed, and the merits of the soldiers who went on an expedition to the Bangzi Kingdom in Liaodong have been tallied.

The title of money had been issued, and everything was ready. Li Mingda, who loved walking in the snow, got out of his salted fish lounge chair and invited Zhao Yun to practice marksmanship with him.

After all, his level was just like that of a stinky shrimp. In the end, Li Mingda was impatient and turned on the unparalleled mode, which ended with a wild dance.

"Your Majesty, your marksmanship is very good, but you lack patience. If it doesn't work, I suggest you try another weapon."

Zhao Yun is an honest man and always speaks in the most direct manner.

Li Mingda also knew how bad he looked and nodded in agreement: "That's right. What do you recommend?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while and suggested: "You might as well try Mo Dao. Yun feels that you and General Bai have very similar temperaments!"

General Bai?

Bai Yujing?

There is a person with a weird name who has never appeared in history. Is he a talent buried by history or a time traveler?

Li Mingda doesn't have an accurate answer yet, and Jin Yiwei has conducted a secret investigation. He doesn't have any outrageous words and doesn't look like a time traveler.

The living habits should be what they should be in this era.

"I think it's good too. I'll try it later. The wind and snow are so heavy today, so just stay here. Good health is not for wandering in the snow."

"promise"

Li Mingda asked Zhao Yungen to take him back to the imperial study. Liuli, who was waiting at the door, led a group of palace maids and eunuchs and hurriedly brought Li Mingda a large cloak and hot ginseng soup to Zhao Yun to get rid of the cold.

When Fang Xuanling at the door saw Li Mingda entering, he also held his hand: "Your Majesty is still wearing such thin clothes in such weather, we are envious of him."

Li Mingda shook off the snow on his body and replied to Fang Xuanling: "Take more medicine and don't stop. You can do it in a few years."

I heard that I can be like this in a few years. Doesn't this mean that I have a chance of becoming an immortal?

Fang Xuanling felt excited in her heart: "My lord, I understand. Thank you Your Majesty for the wealth."

One look at Fang Xuanling's face and Li Mingda knew that he was overthinking, but he was not sure. The medicine given by his grandson in the system was still very powerful. If Li Mingda had not been able to protect him, he would have been in the harem every day.

"There is a saying that you should be careful not to be stupid but not stupid. Now it is only to the extent of prolonging life and there will be almost no pain, but being beaten and killed still does not count."

"My lord, I understand."

Li Mingda didn't know whether Fang Xuanling understood it or not. Anyway, as long as he continued to follow him loyally, he would help him govern the Tang Dynasty until he recruited Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang.

Then they can retreat to the second line. Of course, Li Mingda will not step aside and kill the donkey. If he wants to continue playing, he can.

It was rare for Li Mingda to sit on her dragon chair in the royal study and rest for a while. The historians looked at Li Mingda eagerly, hoping to have a good harvest before the new year.

Li Mingda sat on the dragon chair, thought for a moment and asked Lu Zhi: "How are you preparing to fight the Turks next year?"

Lu Zhi: "The raid on Liaodong years ago consumed much more supplies than the normal troop dispatch. It is best to delay the proper period until after the autumn harvest."

Li Mingda shook his head no: "No, this battle must be fought after the spring snow begins, and the Turkic rebellion must be completely wiped out in the cradle."

"The spring war affects both the war horses and the spring plowing of the soldiers' families."

"Then exempt these soldiers from all taxes and corvee this year."

"But…"

"I don't need it, but we lost some war horses, grain and taxes. Thirty thousand households seems to be a lot, but it is not enough compared to the national power of the Tang Dynasty. If we lack food, we will let those families and merchants sell it to the court.

Those who disobey will be punished with treason, and those who buy and sell grain will be charged a price higher than the market price."

Lu Zhi rubbed his forehead and continued to ask Li Mingda: "The national treasury is not rich anymore."

Not enough money?

Isn’t this thing simple? It’s too simple: “Gather a group of shops at the entrance of Taiji Palace and open a bank. The Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty will serve as the National Bank of the Tang Dynasty. From now on, all the salaries, salaries and rewards of the officials and soldiers in the court will be issued from here.”

"What if the merchants and those families don't want to?"

"Datang salt and iron transactions must be exchanged with a receipt issued by the Royal Bank of Datang. At the same time, I have decided to come up with the gold, silver and copper coin reform plan in advance."

Lu Zhi looked confused: "I have never heard your Majesty mention this plan. I hope your Majesty will make it clear."

Called Wu and told her: "Go and get the small wooden box with money written on it next to my bed."

"Yes, I'll go now." Hearing that Wu Ke was going to open the box was very exciting. After ascending the throne, Li Mingda took some time to store some of the black technologies, models, and reform plans that he had ordered when he was a princess.

I open one when I think it's about time.

It’s euphemistically called opening a box!

It's purely because of the resentment left behind when I played games and opened various cans, boxes, and boxes without shipping.

As he ascended the throne, there were fewer and fewer small boxes, indicating that all the things he had prepared in the early stage were almost used up. In the future, he could only proceed after discussing with the ministers and his first dog-headed military advisor Murong Xue based on the development of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Bao brought the box with a lock hanging on it. The name "Qiqiao Exquisite Lock" was given by Murong Xue. It was actually a combination lock. It was not difficult. The previous password was too complicated and Li Mingda himself had forgotten it.

So, in front of everyone, Li Mingda opened it with both hands, took out a small notebook and handed it to Lu Zhi: "Nuo, take a look."

Carefully, Lu Zhi took the small book handed by Li Mingda and began to read through it.

There is not much content. This is a means that Li Mingda is considering to win over Datang Finance, and it is also a handle to control the direction of the family and Datang.

In addition to some bank layout measures and behavioral regulations, there is also the production of new currencies.

Gold, silver, and copper coins are no longer pure copper, gold and silver, but have aluminum and steel added to enhance their oxidation resistance to ensure their service life.

One hundred copper coins equals one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins equals one gold coin. According to the current purchasing power of the Tang Dynasty, it is quite difficult to achieve a close to one-to-one conversion. After all, the reason why one amount of two gold coins is valuable is because it itself is this

Value, and gold coins are a small amount of gold coins mixed with aluminum and iron, which have inherent shortcomings. If you want to make them valuable, you can only start with yourself.

Lu Zhi also discovered this problem after reading it: "Your Majesty, these coins have suffered serious losses in the early stage. I think it is best to slow down."
