As Li Tai speculated, Li Chengqian's marriage did not come to fruition.
Because of Li Yuan's death, the royal children did not say that they had been mourning for three years, but at least during the mourning period, all vocal music would be prohibited.
More importantly, marriage is not allowed for at least one year, especially as the crown prince, he should pay more attention.
Of course, this has some slight relationship with Li Tai. According to normal history, not to mention Li Chengqian at this time, even Li Tai himself should have children.
But since Li Tai proposed that the women's sixteenth and eighteenth remarry came out, it was not easy for Li Chengqian to become the crown princess.
At least, Li Chengqian is older than the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess must be older than sixteen years old, which makes the candidate for the Crown Princess very narrow.
Therefore, Empress Changsun was not very satisfied with the choice. It was either the age was not suitable or the aristocratic family was not suitable. As for appearance, what appearance the Crown Princess wanted, virtue and aristocratic family were the most important. In this pick and choose, Li Yuan died.
.
At this time, Li Chengqian no longer needs to choose the so-called crown princess for the time being.
It’s fine because the people are not there, but the royal family at least doesn’t think about marriage in the short term, so they have to wait until the mourning period is over before talking about it.
Of course, Li Yuan's death not only had an impact on Li Chengqian, but also the gifts of the soldiers who defeated Li Tai and others were also simple.
Although there are fewer welcomes, there are quite a few rewards for merit, especially the vast majority of the soldiers holding food coupons, who even waved their food coupons and exchanged the supplies they wanted as soon as possible.
When the supplies were really obtained, the soldiers and soldiers of the government put their hearts down and immediately called the car shop or the strong men to help send the seizes they fought back home. As for those who used food coupons to live freely in the local area,
At least they still have memories.
However, Li Tai was not so lucky. He was almost caught and mourned when he returned to Chang'an.
I have to stay in front of Li Yuan's coffin for seven days. During the process, I can drink water, but I am not allowed to eat.
It was Li Chengqian and Changle who had experience and occasionally secretly handed him a piece of cake, so he finally managed to hold on and finally got through this most difficult period.
When Li Yuan was buried in peace, he stepped over the brazier and removed the mourning clothes. Li Tai had just slept in his palace at Prince Yan's Mansion and was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin Xuan. Bai He hurriedly served him to put on his clothes and then went into the palace.
It's right.
As usual, he was waiting in the side hall, and soon he saw the eunuch coming to Xuan himself into the hall.
Li Tai came to the hall to see Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and even Du Ruhui, who had been rectifying the Grand Canal, came back.
For a moment, Li Tai was a little surprised. He didn't do anything, so why did he have to go through the three-court trial?
After Li Tai saluted, Li Shimin took out the food coupon and looked at Li Tai and said, "Did you make this?"
Li Tai looked at the food coupons and felt a little ugly, but he still looked carefully with a bit of bullet and looked at it carefully.
It says one million kilograms of grain coupons. Not many of these grain coupons are sent out by themselves. They are basically sent to certain specific granaries to extract grain, and are generally not circulated on the market.
Or normal people would not use this food coupon, so they nodded and said to Li Shimin, "It was the food coupon I wrote!"
Hearing Li Tai's words, Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Why did King Yan print how many food coupons have you printed?"
"Of course there are so many supplies and how much food is printed!" Li Tai insisted on the railway.
"Hehe!" Li Shimin said quietly, "Is that so?! But the army seized it, you issued a total of one million stones of grain, one million stones of grain! Xuanling, our annual grain income last year was
How many."
"Last year, a total of 4.53 million stones of grain were collected, and 367 thousand stones of grain were spent."
Fang Xuanling's eyes were a little brighter, but she wanted to take Li Tai apart. After all, Li Tai had too much money and food.
Although the taxes in the Tang Dynasty were not just pure food, but also had other miscellaneous taxes, renting and mediocre adjustments, etc., grain income only accounted for a part of it.
But Li Tai issued too much money and grain through robbery of Tuyuhun this time, with about one million stones of grain, which was almost one-quarter of the annual grain income of the Tang Dynasty.
Why did Li Tai get so much food? Just Li Tai’s land in Zhengguoqu? What a joke!
Normally, Li Tai’s financial means are not understood by people of this era, but they cannot understand the process but can understand the result.
Especially when the army returns, the court has to calculate the part of its income and seize it.
Originally, Li Tai turned the seizure into food coupons, which replaced food coupons with consumption or materials, ensuring the smooth circulation of the entire cycle.
At least for the people in the army, this seems to be completely fine, because my seizure was replaced with food coupons and materials. The circulation was reasonable and I was much more convenient for me. So what else can I pursue?
.
But after Li Jing reported this process to Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling's head almost exploded.
After all, it is different from Li Jing's operation that cannot understand Li Tai. Even though Fang Xuanling cannot understand Li Tai's operation, he keenly discovered something wrong in Li Tai's operation out of his own sensitivity to administration.
So Fang Xuanling counted the food coupons distributed by Li Tai during this period, and calculated that it exceeded one million stones.
That is one-quarter of the grain tax in the entire Tang Dynasty in one year, and this data is already very terrifying.
After all, even if the Tang Dynasty wants to take out one million stones of food, it may not be able to take it out, but Li Tai did it!
Even Fang Xuanling thought that Li Tai was preparing to break the contract, which would trigger a riot among the soldiers.
But no, the soldiers basically praised Li Tai's behavior, and the appearance of this food coupon saved him a lot of trouble.
Then Li Tai actually eliminated the million-dollar food coupon debt, and he really spent one million stone of food coupons.
To be honest, this process made Fang Xuanling frightened, and this result made Fang Xuanling silent.
So, Fang Xuanling told Li Shimin immediately about his discovery, and at the same time, there was a three-party trial.
Because even Fang Xuanling couldn't understand the operation that Li Tai made this time, what they saw was that Li Tai clearly did not have a million stone of grain, but sent a million stone of grain coupons, and then the soldiers all
Accepted with satisfaction.
So there must be problems here, but no one can understand the problems here!
"The grain income of the entire Tang Dynasty was only four million stones. Don't say that your land produced one million stones!"
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, and to be honest, he was also very curious about how Li Tai did this out of nothing.
Li Tai looked at this scene and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Facing Li Shimin's approach of directly retrieving the entire country's resources and then directly saying that he had problems with his operation, which gave Li Tai a headache.
Li Tai looked at the others, and all the civil officials widened their eyes, as if they wanted to have a craniotomy for themselves and see what was thinking in their heads.
On the contrary, Li Jing looked down at this time, as if he was muttering why there were no ants!
Anyway, you can find Li Jing for military matters, but Li Jing said that he has retired and knows nothing about political and internal affairs.
Although I also saw that the King of Yan just wrote the food coupons casually, then stamped it and made it out, I never thought that the King of Yan would not have so much grain reserves at all.
Not to mention that Li Tai clearly had no food reserves, he solved this matter beautifully, and did not cause any chaos to the army at all.
"Sure enough, King Yan is still very good at doing logistics, but unfortunately he can only enjoy this once in his life!"
Li Tai also understood the internal affairs of Li Jing, the ostrich, was unreliable, and he explained helplessly,
"This is not a grain coupon for food. It can be used as currency. You can regard it as Kaiyuan Tongbao!"
"This food coupon is regarded as Kaiyuan Tongbao!" Li Shimin couldn't help but think when he heard this.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's eyes lit up and suddenly realized, but Wei Zheng and Xiao Yu were a little confused.
Li Tai explained, "Because our Tang Dynasty adopted physical taxes and physical currency, the most basic currency was food.
On the contrary, although Kaiyuan Tongbao is circulating, it is not as popular as physical transactions.
But it is quite troublesome to carry food, so I made out a food coupon and used it to replace the physical transaction of food.
As a guarantee, the credibility of my King of Yan Li Tai. Only in this way can the people dare to use it!”
"Your King Yan is minting coins privately..." Wei Zheng just wanted to sue Li Tai, but found that he couldn't.
Because from ancient times to the present, it is all about minting copper coins, but Li Tai did not make copper coins, especially Li Tai used his reputation as a guarantee. To some extent, this is more like a loan note than a circulating currency.
"King Yan, I'm even more curious, how did you maintain the more than one million stone of food coupons you paid in transactions?" Fang Xuanling said seriously when he heard Li Tai's words.
"Precisely because our Tang Dynasty used materials as the basic trading currency, grain coupons also became currency of certain transaction nature from ordinary loan notes. If it can only be used to trade grain, then it is just food coupons.
But I have established more material support for the food coupons, not only the grain of Zhengguoqu, but also the medical houses and medical systems, the technology and tools of the Agricultural College, all the consumption of Gaoling, and the coal industry in Guanzhong.
Even cattle, sheep, commerce, and salt in Youzhou all became the support for this transaction.
And based on this, we will derivate from all aspects of social life!”
Li Tai said this, but he sighed a little and continued,
"So the food coupon is no longer just a simple exchange for food coupons, but in fact it can buy goods from all my industrial products."
When Li Tai explained this, several ministers in the court frowned a little.
They did not expect that under their noses, the King of Yan actually developed such a power.
More importantly, they still don’t understand this kind of power very much, but they can feel the terror of this power. The so-called creation of something out of nothing is just like this.
"That's right, let's go back to the food coupons I issued to confiscate the seizures of the soldiers.
Yes, I do not have a million stones of grain, but the products produced by my entire industry can afford the corresponding materials and services of a million stones of grain.
In this way, I can exchange these million stone grain coupons reasonably."
Li Tai said this and looked up at everyone, but when he saw them, he still frowned.
Li Tai paused slightly and asked again, "Do you need me to explain more in detail?"
"Say! Don't keep it a secret!" Li Shimin said to Li Tai. To be honest, he didn't expect that there would be such an operation in this world!
It still sounds quite novel and incredible now, and what's even more incredible is that my son actually did it?
When Li Tai heard Li Shimin's words, he immediately continued to explain.
"I used the food coupon to exchange for the seizures of the soldiers. If the soldiers wanted to exchange for food together, it goes without saying that no matter how much food I store, it would not be enough!
So I split it up, first of all, the upper class generals, and I used the "Seed Plan" as bait and asked them to invest together.
In this way, at least the biggest run will be reduced, and it doesn’t matter whether the “Seed Plan” itself is successful.”
"King Yan, if you know your words by the generals from all over the army, you will be very reproached!"
Li Jing couldn't help but complain in his heart that the most important thing was that he even smashed 50,000 livestock into it. Unexpectedly, it was the plan of King Yan.
These civil servants are so silly. They are so innocent military officers who are not careful that they will be eaten up if they are accidentally killed!
Li Tai continued, "While the generals and soldiers who arrived at the bottom of the school, what they needed was to exchange their seizures for materials or services, rather than seizures themselves.
Because some of them cannot take back to Chang'an because of these seized, some of them are afraid that they will be cheated when they bring them back.
My food coupons gave them a safe exchange channel, allowing them to successfully cash out their seizures.
When we get here, we need to further subdividend based on the supplies or services they need.
If they need services, I will ask General Manager Li to let the soldiers go to Shancheng for five to seven days off every month to relax, eliminate fatigue, and at the same time let them spend the food coupons.
If supplies are needed, I asked General Manager Li to give a list of these soldiers and let them record everything they want. I prepared these supplies at the first level of the market price, and the soldiers returned to Chang'an.
Directly exchange food coupons for supplies.
Because of preparations in advance, there will be no turbulence in prices.
More importantly, after these several screenings, not many people actually exchanged for food, and the entire system became stable!”
Li Tai tried his best to explain to them if the important officials present could understand.
Li Shimin thought for a while, but immediately widened his eyes and looked at Li Tai,
"Qingque, that is, you have a way to write a note of one million stone and spend it as real money, right?"
"Aye, can you stop focusing on the focus so accurately!" Li Tai murmured.
The important officials present looked at Li Tai at this moment and suddenly changed their eyes, and the light seemed to want to eat Li Tai.
