"Where did the massive copper coins come from? Why don't I know? Although Li Daozong robbed the copper mines in Nanzhao, the war is now stalemate. Songzhou and Zhouzhou have been destroyed, and the copper mines have not yet been mined. Where did the copper coins come from?"
"There are four bastards who graduated from the academy and are helping His Majesty to formulate a robbery plan. Now it has reached the final stage. Your Majesty has given me a silence order, so I can't say that I don't want to see you during this period because I don't want to see you anxious.
You looked like you were worried that if you couldn't help but speak out, your father would be beheaded you. It's fine now. The dust has settled. It's too late for those greedy rich people to turn back even if they want to. Finally, I can tell you that during this period
It suffocated me."
Li Tai said with a smile: "Brother, you are a fan of the authorities. Who is Meng Shelong? Why can it hold back my Tang army? Some time ago, I relied on elephants to win a small game. Now Li Daozong has already
With preparations, his elephants are useless. I have never cared about the war in the state. If an army equipped with gunpowder could not defeat a group of savages, Li Daozong would have committed suicide long ago. You are too young now.
Reliance, and too much trust in documents. Those things are written by people, and there will always be deviations. "
Now that Li Chengqian knew what he wanted to know, he relaxed all over, put his hands behind his head, looked at the clouds in the sky and said quietly: "You two have been to the sky, and I want to go up and have a look too."
He didn't have time to answer Li Chengqian's words. Changsun's big ship came over. It seemed that he had no intention of stopping the ship. The menopausal old woman was unreasonable, so it was better to run away first.
Yun Shou had very good physical strength. He stepped on the pedals very fast with both feet and escaped first. Li Chengqian and Li Tai were also smart enough to use the small size of their boats to turn around and circle around the big boats. As a result, they were splashed by the water from the oars.
It was almost soaked. Damn it, this is not the eldest grandson's style. There are children in the boat. The eldest grandson would never do this.
Sure enough, a small face appeared from the bow of the boat. It turned out to be Sizi. Why did this most obedient little girl start to act up? However, when Li Zhi's head popped out, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yun
Ye knew who to settle the score with later.
This bastard is completely different from the timid and cowardly Li Zhi in history. Because he was protected by his father, mother, brother and sister, he completely became a villain. In addition, he had the help of several famous dog-headed strategists in history.
·Now I am living a prosperous life, as free as a wild horse running wild.
The ship finally stopped. Li Chengqian got on the ship with his son and daughter all wet. He ordered the palace servants to change the children into dry clothes. He kicked Li Zhi, who was approaching with a charming smile, so that he fell down.
Li Tai had just put his son in his arms, so the child's clothes were dry. At this time, he was so angry that Li Zhi just got up and was kicked down by him. Yun Ye quickly grabbed Li Tai who was about to continue. Today is not the right time.
Punish Li Zhi.
Li Zhi screamed like a pig and tried his best to move Yun Ye's feet. His left hand happened to be stepped on by Yun Ye. Yun Ye waited until Li Tai's anger subsided before leaving Li Zhi's hand and followed the others.
Let's go together to pay our respects to the Queen.
The eldest grandson was dressed up to attend today. In the past, such gatherings would be held in the Zhongji Hall, but this year it looked elegant on the boat.
However, in previous years, only married women were invited to the party. This year, I don’t know what the purpose is of inviting a group of princesses and consorts.
Qujiang was far away from the imperial palace, so Yun Ye could not see the grand scene of hundreds of officials in the Wanmin Palace, where the emperor was also holding a spring banquet. The dignified left minister of the Ministry of War, Yun Ye, had the highest official position among these sons-in-law, like
An important minister like him should have gone to Wanmin Palace instead of coming to Qujiang. Since Li Er left the prince, King Wei and himself under the care of the queen, it goes without saying that the nobles who attended the Spring Banquet must have a good life now.
Extremely miserable.
Li Er didn't want Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yun Ye to see his shameless face, so he moved the three of them away. If the reform of copper coins was not announced at today's banquet, there would be a ghost.
Yun Ye covered his head and chewed, Yun Shou chewed with his head covered, Li Chengqian drank until his glass was dry, and Li Tai personally held a small spoon for his son to eat soup. Changsun Chong was restless, as if he had hemorrhoids on his buttocks, always wanting to talk to Yun Ye
, every time before he could speak, Yun Ye would clink glasses with him, and leave after clinking glasses, without giving him the slightest chance. It didn't matter if he revealed that matter to Li Chengqian, but it would be a big accident if it was revealed to Changsun Chong.
Yun Shou was very courageous and asked his eldest grandson when he could marry Yanrong home, which made the whole room burst into laughter. The eldest grandson also laughed so hard that his branches trembled with laughter. Concubine Yang grabbed Yun Shou's hand and put it in his
With a twist on her fat face, she said that he was so embarrassed that he missed his wife at such a young age. She laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
"Your son really wants to marry my daughter?" Li Chengqian asked with a proud look on his face.
"Young Shamei, my son doesn't want to see Yanrong suffer in your East Palace. In order to obtain my consent, this child offered a price of twenty words. This is the highest condition that the child can offer.
God, your East Palace is now a battlefield. There are so many women who desperately want to be the princess. How did you get here? Yanrong is my daughter-in-law. She must be a treasure when she comes to my house. In your East Palace, she is just a recipient.
Bao, are you annoyed that I keep stuffing women into your East Palace?"
Li Chengqian didn't care at all and said with a smile: "You can't stand it anymore? Are you worried that the chaotic East Palace has taught your daughter-in-law bad things? My two wives are locked up in the cold palace. If you can help me get them out,
Even if we get one back, everything will be calm in the East Palace."
"Why did your wife want me to save her? It's not like Xin Yue was imprisoned. If you don't want to do it, you can handle it yourself. His Majesty doesn't like me recently. He always wants to find opportunities to beat me. Some time ago, he asked me to practice martial arts with him. Isn't it because my family has so many people?
Did you exchange a little silver to prepare some auspicious silver ornaments for the children at home? As for spitting on my face?"
"Hehehe, 300,000 silver coins are indeed not much. I didn't know that before my father was operating copper coins, I shed tears of gratitude for your move. You actually dragged four or five noble families without hesitation.
I exchanged all the stored copper coins for silver. This is such a deep friendship for me. Now I know that you are making money with a dark heart. Three hundred thousand silver coins are enough to bury you alive hundreds of times.
Are you going to use the money to build a house for your children?"
While the two were talking, Changsun Chong came over again. He really wanted to know what Yun Ye was talking to the prince. Something was very wrong in Chang'an City recently. No matter how many copper coins his family exchanged, there were still no copper coins in circulation on the market.
Decrease. I thought the prince borrowed it from the bank, so he bought a lot of copper coins, all at high prices. He was waiting for the court to change the exchange ratio between copper and silver before releasing them in large quantities, so as to make a lot of money.
.
After many inquiries, I found out that the copper coins in the bank had also bottomed out. No one knew where those coins came from. Perhaps the prince persuaded some wealthy families to release the stock.
Seeing that Yun Ye and the prince stopped talking, Changsun Chong quickly said: "Don't stop, keep talking, just pretend I'm not here, you say yours, I'll listen, if you can tell me some secrets that I don't know,
The best.”
This is already shameless. Relying on familiarity and friendship, when it comes to the control of money, Li Chengqian is the big shopkeeper. This must be admitted. The Ministry of Accounts now has no control over the bank, so he and I don't know.
Li Chengqian laughed and said: "Looking at how anxious you are, you didn't say anything. You were just talking to Yezi about reducing the copper-silver exchange ratio. Now one silver coin can be exchanged for six hundred daizi. The exchange ratio is too high. Common people are worried.
Without the copper coins, I am thinking about adjusting the ratio to the original ratio of one silver coin to one thousand gold coins. Since you want to listen, tell me what you think."
Changsun Chong looked at Yun Ye and saw that he was dealing with a fish. He said doubtfully: "The method is naturally a good one, but our Tang Dynasty has been short of copper since ancient times. If you want to lower the ratio, you will need a lot of copper coins. We
Where can I find so much copper? Besides, there are only two mints in the Tang Dynasty. One is in Chang'an and the other is in Yuezhou. I haven't heard of them increasing production. If you want to mint coins, you have to go through three provinces and six ministries. And
Negotiations between the left and right, coupled with His Majesty's personal approval, this is a great weapon of the country. Any private person who wants to touch this right will surely die in a miserable way.
So, Your Highness, this road is not feasible. Without copper, it is useless to say anything. The exchange ratio of copper coins cannot be lowered. The only way is to increase the exchange ratio of copper coins. Only in this way can those people release the copper coins in their hands."
Yun Ye put down his chopsticks and said impatiently: "Who said there is no copper? There is a big island in the South China Sea. That island is located on a huge copper plate. Just send people to dig it. The exchange rate of copper coins has been speculated to
The sky has gone up, and if this continues, the people will not be able to survive. I heard that primitive barter scenes have already appeared in some places. If this problem is not solved, the people will no longer believe in currency. "
"What you said is all true. You are right. Even if you have a copper mountain in the South China Sea, it is still far away and cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. How to solve the current problem? You must know that ordinary people are not able to store copper coins. Your Majesty wants to
We have to think carefully before touching them. What can we juniors do?"
Yun Ye just couldn't figure out why Changsun Chong could justly attack the bad behavior of hoarding copper coins, while at the same time buying large amounts of copper coins from the private sector. Don't he have a sense of contradiction?
"Since you think so, Chongzi, I think it is in everyone's interest to exchange one silver coin for a thousand gold coins. I wonder if His Majesty has issued this decree now?"
Changsun Chong was shocked when he heard this and looked at Yun Ye who was in a daze.
