This was what Li Daozong took for granted. For an old man like Qin Wenyuan who did not need money from the Tang Dynasty, how could the imperial court restrain him?
Xue Rengui returned to Beijing with Qin Shiji, and the Ministry of Punishment tried to find out that this guy went out to the army without permission. He originally wanted to demote him to a commoner and move to the frontier to join the army, but he was saved by Li Daozong's death. He finally stayed under Li Daozong as a soldier and allowed him to serve as a meritorious service.
Qin Wenyuan sent a telegram to the northeast, forcing the Xu family troops who had arrived at the King's City of Silla to retreat and resume their formation, leaving only a standing force to protect the queen in the King's City of Goguryeo. Sima Yuntian convened with Queen Goqin and invited Silla and Baekje to discuss the plan.
, promising that if the two countries follow Qin Wenyuan's orders in the future, they will receive protection from the Qin family army and assistance in developing their people's livelihood.
The King of Silla and the King of Baekje assessed the situation and had no choice but to agree to the treaty of these subservient people. From then on, the Queen of Goguryeo adopted her husband's strategy of boiling frogs in warm water during development, causing Silla and Baekje to slowly decline due to their dependence on Goguryeo's economy.
Fusion into one.
Everything was arranged well, but Qin Wenyuan and Prince Li Zhi were busy setting up an official school in the northwest frontier of the Tang Dynasty. In view of the fact that this matter would cost the court a lot of money, Tang Jian, the Minister of Household Affairs, made a report at the meeting.
"Your Majesty, due to the huge cost of controlling the floods in Henan Province, the ministry's inventory is insufficient. Now the Crown Prince and the King of Qi want to implement the strategy of setting up official schools in the frontier fortress, but it is a bit difficult for the old ministers. Can the Emperor issue an order to postpone the matter until the floods in Henan Province are relieved?
, how about the imperial court calm down before taking action on this matter?"
Li Shimin frowned upon hearing this, thinking that since he had no money, he would be restricted in everything he did, so he spoke.
"You ministers have no solution to the problem, but you can speak freely to Your Highness!"
No matter which dynasty it is, talking about money is always a depressing thing.
No one in the imperial court was willing to talk about that matter first, for fear of putting themselves in a bad situation.
Li Daozong's words may not seem too far-fetched, but if they are really put into practice and successful, the history of Xiaotang will be even better understood.
These ministers, who have earned their fame through ten years of hard work, without any background or support, are all because of Li Daozong, who dared to scold the aristocratic family. His noble words touched my heart. I think these words are what we are saying.
’s voice.
Those words offended all the ministers of His Highness, Xue Guogong Ling Yi Qin Wen said in a low voice with an angry look on his face.
Li Daozong's method was actually the prototype of later generations of banks. In today's era when private commerce is not developed and the amount of money is scarce, such a method may make the economy move too slowly. No one can guarantee success.
.
The idea proposed by Li Daozong caused a stir in His Highness, and the Wang family first attacked.
"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Li Zhi said is correct. I think that the newly established government offices of the imperial court are not the same as private banks. How can we make such a big man outside the bank, who competes with the people for profit, become an official and assist the prince? This is a good match.
Etiquette and law are criticized by the people, and they may lose the dignity of the court!"
"I think that if you want to do this, you can only be an official designated by the prince. Others should do whatever they want. Don't try to take Ling Yi's advice. This newly-built yamen should not have a name. The officials who serve in it must be such good mathematicians.
Moreover, those who act rigorously and are honest will be used by courtiers who do not have aristocratic family backgrounds or noble backgrounds in the court, and who want to form cliques all day long. If they have enough manpower, they can be selected from among Confucian scholars, and they can be used as efficiently as possible.
It’s better to lack than to overspend.”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Li Daozong insulted the courtiers with filthy words. I am writing this memorial to impeach Xu Tian for defying the court's deliberations. I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me."
His Majesty's young ministers heard that Li Daozong sternly rebuked Li Zhi Qin Wen. His words acknowledged the merits of the aristocratic families and nobles who followed the dragon, but they pointed out the shortcomings of those meritorious families who hold on to their merits and are arrogant.
Prince Ling Yi thought of a bad way.
Of course, Ling Yijin and the other ministers dared to take that risk, and they all dared to express their stance on this matter or put forward opinions in agreement.
But that guy is so fast and logical that he really slows down a person's death.
"Your Majesty, I have no two ways to solve the problem of the court's lack of money. One is that all ministers in the court who have no property in Xiaotang, aristocratic families, etc. can donate some silver to help the court when it is easy. Seven
, the imperial court could set up Anye to issue bonds to the officials, gentry, merchants and common people of the Xiaotang Dynasty, promising a certain interest and repayment at maturity. However, if this matter was to be implemented, the imperial court would not have sufficient gold and silver reserves to guarantee against various risks.
, Otherwise, the court will be able to pay when it is due, but the turmoil caused will be easily quelled by the court."
These words asked for details, indicating that the young minister already understood the efficacy of bonds.
Tang Jian, the Minister of Household Affairs, heard about Li Daozong's economic methods. Although the old man secretly praised Li Daozhong for his talent, he thought that such unnatural things were unheard of. He had only heard that private banks did not offer low interest rates, but they often led to the destruction of people's lives.
It makes people angry. If Ling Yi is an official in the imperial court, he will also behave like this among the people.
Li Daozong glanced at the ministers of His Highness, all of whom were staring at him, with a calm look on his face, eager to hear what bad ideas I could come up with.
"The emperor has finally grown up. I am very happy. Xiao Tang is very lucky, and the Li family is very lucky!"
Qin Wenyuan's misfortune led to disappointment. No wonder Li Daozong said that few of the officials in my government were those who saw profit and forgot their loyalty.
There is no danger in any reform. It depends on how those in power can control the danger beyond the controllable range.
Li Daozong dared to say this, but of course he was not prepared to deal with the doubts. Naturally, he knew that those small aristocratic families would attack him for the idea he proposed.
Hearing that the emperor asked for his opinion, Ling Yijin was used to looking at the feuding families and dignitaries outside the imperial court who were fighting for power, so she said sternly with bad temper.
"Of course, the imperial court did not have a detailed plan to issue bonds. First, it had to determine the small amount of bonds to be issued according to the needs of the country. Secondly, it had to estimate the court's ability to repay, so that the bonds could be divided into one-year, seven-year, etc., according to
The principal and interest shall be returned to the purchaser at the specified face amount upon maturity.”
When Qin Wenyuan heard this, he smiled and said.
Before Yin Zhuang in the Tai Chi Palace put forward his own idea, the young ministers agreed with the prince's idea, and the young minister seconded the idea, but it was who should be in charge of this work that caused the ministers to argue again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The emperor suppressed the joy in his heart and spoke loudly.
Li Zhi and Qin Wen came back in confusion, but they were filled with resentment towards the emperor and hatred towards Li Daozong.
With just a few words that seemed to be rewritten, His Majesty had already set the tone for the impeachment of Li Daozong, which made many ministers who wanted to see Li Daozong's joke feel a stone in their hearts. They felt the pressure of His Majesty's love for Li Daozong.
Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian, Li Jing and other officials saw that the occasionally divided aristocratic families and the nobles in the court had internal strife due to interests, and they all looked on without interest.
It is a shame to have mosquitoes and flies.
Li Zhiling and Lingyi are also willing to go all out. If His Highness is suppressing Li Daozong's weakness today, there will be no place for me to talk to him.
What the old ghost was thinking represented the thoughts of His Highness's young ministers, because no one could understand the economic model of retreating first and compare it with the profit-seeking methods of the people.
The late Shangshu Zuopushe, the son of Duke Wen Yanbo of Yu State, inherited the title of Duke of Yu State and is now the censor of the imperial court. Wen Yuting, Guanglu's younger husband, came out and stood on the golden ruan, cupping his hands and saying something.
However, what Li Zhi and Qin Wen said did not mean to exclude the nobles and nobles of the imperial court. How could he get the support of those important ministers?
The small aristocratic families and the nobles of the court all thought that this matter was not a piece of fat. It involved a good thing of money. Who would want to get involved in it and reap some disadvantages? It seems that people like us have never thought about the interests of the country and have nothing in mind.
It's always a family affair.
"Hehe! It doesn't matter how much the Wang family is willing to pay, I will double it, but he hasn't said anything yet."
Qin Wenyuan frowned. I never expected that Li Zhi and Lingyi would fight for a place in Anye. It would be a shame to have a head-on confrontation with Xu Tian. It would take a lot of small benefits to make me do this, just like the benefits of such generals.
As a minister who values your life more than anything else, do I dare to leave such worries to us?
That guy despised the Wang family's junior ministers who attacked him. His Highness's arrogance was such that he suppressed all the junior ministers from the wealthy families and did not dare to speak again.
Qin Wenyuan spoke again.
"Get a life! Ling Yijin despises the order of the court meeting. I will give me corresponding punishment according to the situation. However, what crime should he deserve if he talks nonsense to His Highness without any basis? Young master, you should always look at the problem from your own point of view and never stand on the sidelines.
Is it bad at the bureau level?”
"Ling Yijin; he has no qualifications to point fingers at aristocratic families and court nobles. I want you to follow the late emperor to conquer and expand the territory. Which family has made great achievements? However, his father and son held heavy troops in Qizhou and occupied the northeastern region. Although
It is stated that I serve the Emperor as my master, and I say that I am the one who governs the court, but in reality I am separatist, just like his father and son, powerful ministers who have contributed even an inch to the court, so how dare you, His Highness, make unreasonable comments about you and others."
"Your Majesty's words made Shangguan enlightened. It's just that Shangguan knew in what form the bonds should be issued, and how could he make the people doubt and buy them?"
Ling Yijin was disdainful to the guy's words.
"Your Majesty, I have no way to solve the dilemma of not having enough money! I just want to know if Your Majesty supports it?"
The emperor was really satisfied with Ling Yijin's statement, thinking that he was my son-in-law, but he could not solve the court's crisis, and he could still despise those aristocratic families of Xiaotang who dared to offend the court easily, so that the eldest son Fu
Zuo Huang'er, I am going to die today, so you should be relieved!
"Li Daozong, let's talk about Anye. What are bonds? Why should we reserve gold and silver to deal with the crisis?"
Those words are high-sounding, but no one can find fault with them. Considering that all the shopkeepers outside the banks of various aristocratic families have official status, how can they perform official affairs on behalf of the imperial court.
Your Highness, an ignorant person, is not very interested in Li Daozong's economic strategies. Yang Jixing, the new champion of science, was greatly inspired by it and humbly asked Li Daozong for advice.
"Your Majesty, when it comes to Anye, the complicated thing is that it is a lending institution, which is not the same as private banks. First of all, the government-run Anye does not have the power of the imperial court as a guarantee. Secondly, the government-run Anye can be based on
The national economic development, prices, people's income, etc. are issued currency and a unified monetary policy is implemented. Of course, that can be achieved overnight. It takes time to make the people agree with the rapid development. As the disadvantages of government-run Anye appear, I doubt that it can be achieved.
Step. As for the gold and silver reserves, they are the lifeblood of the country and an important condition for the government to run a safe business. Let’s take the issuance of bonds as an example. If I buy a bond of one hundred taels of silver, I will receive one hundred and ten taels when it matures.
Silver, the imperial court can say that it has used your silver. When the time comes, it will use wars, disasters, etc. as excuses to even sell the capital. The so-called gold and silver reserves are the confidence for the imperial court to deal with various crises, and of course it is also a guarantee of credibility.
"
"When it comes to making money, the worst way is to make money with money. The court is worried about whether to sell it for the benefit of the people. The key is the issue of credibility. It can be deceived. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the sky.
.”
"Li Zhi is an old man; his words must be based on no basis to convince others. It is false that he followed the late emperor to create the Xiaotang Kingdom. However, the honor given to him by the imperial court is beyond his contribution. The dynasty has missed him for decades.
Relying on his meager achievements, small gangsters do unprofitable things, often oppressing good people, tyrannically seizing people's property, enclosing land, and overriding the laws of Xiaotang. Such evil deeds, what does this old man say?
.I have no merit in the imperial court, and no one in heaven knows about it. Other things are that the low-yielding crops that I present to the imperial court can solve the food shortage of the people and bring stability to the heaven. The silver taels given to Xiao Tang by Qizhou in the Northeast every year can solve the imperial court's needs.
During the period, Xu Jiajun guarded Qizhou and the Northeast, making many ethnic groups surrender to Xiao Tang. Do you still need me to tell you about the deeds of these young men? But I am disdainful of others who take credit without taking any credit, thinking that it is not good for me.
If you fight to the death for things that are beneficial to you, I am really a thing."
"Li Daozong, please tell me how to handle this matter?"
"Father, I think that the method proposed by King Qi is not feasible. Considering the current economic situation of the imperial court, whether there is such experience and other factors, it is best to use Chang'an City as a pilot test to verify its government-run security on a large scale.
Where feasible, so that even if something goes wrong, the court can control and correct it in time."
"It's the big bastard Li Daozong who can see through the faces of those people!"
Qin Wenyuan looked at the expressions of the ministers and saw how he wanted to make those ministers spend money to relieve the country's worries. It was clear that they were cutting our flesh and draining our blood. From this, we can see that the ministers usually said that they were dedicated to serving the country.
, what he did during the difficult time for the empire was truly hypocritical.
Before Xue Guogong Li Zhi Lingyi came out to report.
Qin Wenyuan's plan for his son was a complete surprise. It showed that his son was now able to think about matters in the court alone and had no corresponding solutions. However, this was a consciousness that a king should not have.
"He doesn't have any ideas. Let's talk about it. If it is feasible, of course I will support it."
Li Zhi and Qin Wen were scolded by His Highness Xu Tian in public. He felt angry and knelt down and shouted softly.
"When it comes to the property in Xiaotang, Prince Qi has a lot of it. I know that Prince Qi is willing to spend a lot of money to relieve the court's difficulties."
"Your Majesty, I believe that the prince should be in charge of this matter, and each family will send capable people who are good at bank affairs to assist the prince. In this way, small matters can be settled!"
After saying this, Li Daozong continued.
Ling Yijin was patient in her heart and said to Li Zhi and Qin Wentan who were kneeling on the golden arm.
Ling Yijin did not care what the ministers thought, Jin Luan said in a low voice.
