Chapter 332

Wei Hao suggested to Li Shimin to fight the Japanese state, Li Shimin and those ministers all looked at Wei Hao in shock, I don't know why Wei Hao suddenly proposed to fight the Japanese state?

"Shen Yong, what are you talking nonsense? How can you start the war lightly? Li Jing said to Wei Hao.

"Father-in-law, you don't understand, now we Datang are also facing a problem, that is, the problem of money circulation!" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and said, then looked at Li Shimin: "Father, you just said, how many copper coins do you need for 10,000 yuan now, and you need to load several carts with a carriage, it's too troublesome,

If there is silver, it can be stipulated that one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for 1 piece of money, in this way, 10,000 pieces of money, just a few hundred catties of silver, which reduces a lot of mansions, and it is also convenient to carry, and there is, you say, we go far away, if we go out with so many copper coins, it is very inconvenient, but if you carry some silver out, it is very convenient,

In addition, it would be even better if there was gold, for example, one or two gold can be exchanged for a pound of silver, which can be exchanged for 16 yuan, in this case, how good? When the time comes, carry 2 catties of gold, that is, five or six hundred yuan. This is very good for the people to trade! And it also greatly reduces the consumption of copper coins in my Datang! ”

"How can there be so much gold?" Li Shimin heard it, looked at Wei Hao and said in embarrassment.

"yes, there's not that much gold!" Li Jing also looked at Wei Hao and said.

"There is no gold, silver is fine, you see, this time the Wa Kingdom said that they would give us 10,000 catties of silver, that is, it is worth 160,000 yuan, the Wa Kingdom is really rich, but I heard that the Wa Kingdom is very rich in silver, if we control the Wa Kingdom, are we still worried about no silver?" Wei Hao sat there and continued to face Li Shimin.

"Then, according to what you say, if anyone finds silver, won't they be rich?" The eldest grandson Wuji said to Wei Hao.

"What are you kidding, all silver mines belong to the state, whoever mines silver and gold without permission will be punished with a capital crime!" Wei Hao sat there, squinted at the eldest grandson Wuji and reminded.

"Oh, then according to what you say, if our court has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, then there are actually millions of yuan?" Li Jing also asked Wei Hao.

"Theoretically, this is so, but these silver, can not be released at will, for example, now the Ministry of Civil Affairs has received 160,000 yuan of copper coins, then you can release 10,000 catties of silver, if you do not receive so many copper coins, it can not be released, once released, then the silver is worthless,

The common people will not keep their eyes, but keep the copper money, so the silver is released, but also according to the actual situation, for example, the court opened a special institution, that is, to control the money, the people can take the copper money to exchange, can also use silver to exchange copper money, is to control a price, one or two than the consistent money,

This institution, Your Majesty can not forcibly interfere with the money in it, can only borrow, but need to be repaid, and pay interest, otherwise, the money here does not belong to the court, but to the people of the world, if the control is good, then ten years later, the people will only use silver, copper money is just the people to buy small things need to use some, but no one will spare a lot! Wei Hao said to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin nodded.

"Then we can also implement it now, now I remember, there seem to be tens of thousands of catties of silver in the treasury, but they are all used to make silverware!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"So much?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Well, and the silver mine is also controlled by the court!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"That's fine, by the way, what about gold, is there a lot of gold?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Not much, one or two thousand catties!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said.

"That's a lot, father, and ministers, you really have to think about it, use silver and gold to replace copper coins, now my Datang's business is very developed, it is very inconvenient to carry copper coins, and there is another way, but not now, the people will definitely not believe it, you need to come step by step!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and those ministers and said.

"Well, this matter, we need to discuss it, it is indeed inconvenient, there are a lot of copper coins piled up here, it is very inconvenient to use, and it needs to be weighed!" Li Shimin nodded and said to the ministers.

"Father, that, let's continue to discuss the fight against the Japanese country, the fight against the Japanese country can be drawn, this place, although there is no good thing, but there is silver, as long as we control here, our grass hall will not be silver!" Wei Hao was still very excited and said to Li Shimin.

"What are you kidding, fighting the Japanese country, now we are still facing the invasion of the north, and the main opponent is also the north! Now that the strong enemies in the north have not been cleaned up, they are still fighting other countries? Goguryeo has always wanted to fight but there is no way to fight, Goguryeo has been expanding all these years, and it has invaded our interests in the northeast!

However, I know that Goguryeo has always colluded with the Wa Kingdom, but now I can't free my hands, and if I can free my hands, I want to clean them up.

In addition, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty brought 300,000 troops to fight, and a large number of soldiers died there, but unfortunately they were not recovered, if I want to fight Goguryeo, I must need to recover the remains of those soldiers! Li Shimin said to the ministers.

"Not now, now we are still facing the pressure from the north and the northwest, Datang is only slightly better this year, the court is rich, and the weapons and armor of the soldiers have just been replaced, and they have not been completely replaced!" Li Jing sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"This, Your Majesty, the north is not afraid, we can clean them up, there is nothing good in the north, unless we continue to fight north, and even say, go to the Ring Sun Dynasty, the Ring Sun Dynasty This place is good, it is all plains, if we can fight down here, it will be very good!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I know, however, I heard that the Ring Sun Dynasty is very powerful, our army of the Tang Dynasty has never been in contact with them, I heard that it is the country of Vientiane, and their elephants are used as war elephants, which seems to be even more powerful!" Li Shimin sat there, nodded and said.

"Powerful yarn, father, let's clean them up easily, father, you listened to me right, let's fight the country!" Wei Hao continued to persuade Li Shimin.

"No, the conditions are not available now, not to mention others, there are not many warships, how to fight, the Japanese country needs to cross the ocean!" Li Shimin shook his head at Wei Hao and said.

"Father, it's okay, hand over the warship to me, I'll build it, you just agree to fight." Wei Hao patted his chest and said to Li Shimin. Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with a strange gaze: "I found out why you are so keen on fighting the Japanese Kingdom, is it really because of silver?" ”

"Well, really!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively, the reason behind it must not be said, and no one believed it, but he just wanted to beat them.

"Well, then you should prepare first, and when our Datang is really strong, we can fight!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Okay!" When Wei Hao heard him say this, he had no choice, calm down and think about it, it is true that he does not have this condition, and now the warships of the Tang Dynasty have no way to reach the Wa Kingdom.

"Well, let's discuss it now, this silver matter, Shen Yong, what about you, go back at night to sort out this silver matter, it is true that the amount of copper coins is too large, and it is inconvenient to carry, if there is enough silver, it can be allowed to circulate in the market." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao again, Wei Hao heard it and nodded.

"Continue to come to the court tomorrow!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Forget it, it's boring, I'm asking for leave!" Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"What are you taking off?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao very unhappily and shouted.

"I'm going to play mahjong with the old man, make an appointment!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Playing mahjong early in the morning?" Li Shimin shouted at Wei Hao angrily, isn't this deceiving himself?

"Ah, I don't need time to go to the court, I'll go back to the court, and I'll have lunch when I get home, anyway, there's nothing to do, I won't come, and I'll quarrel with them when I come!" Wei Hao sat there, looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said, Li Shimin is not angry, this kid just doesn't want to come to the court, a prince, don't go to the court!

"Tomorrow is the next knife, you have to come over!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Come on, come on, when the old man scolds, don't blame me!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said,

Li Shimin didn't want to deal with him anymore, and then chatted with those ministers about the court, and Wei Hao also talked about it occasionally!

"On the Ministry of Industry, there is a surplus of money this year, and I heard that the Ministry of Industry now has a balance of 50,000 yuan, and is ready to give bonuses to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, as well as those in the iron workshop!" Dai Xuan sat there and said to Li Shimin.

"No, I said Dai Shangshu, how many years has the Ministry of Labor not paid bonuses, and you are embarrassed to say that the bonuses will be issued for the first time this year?" Wei Hao sat there and said to Dai Guan, who didn't have anything to say, just looked at Wei Hao speechlessly.

"That's not the case, the Ministry of Industry has just had money, and it began to pay bonuses, so shouldn't the Ministry of Civil Affairs pay more?" Wei Zheng immediately asked Wei Hao.

"You send it, as long as Your Majesty agrees, as long as you are embarrassed, you can pay back the bonus from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs doesn't know how much money you owe, and you will also pay a bonus!" Wei Hao said to Wei Zheng with disdain.

"Wei Shenyong, we have paid back the money owed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Dai Xuan immediately shouted emphatically.

"Did I say that? How many things have not been done in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can tell me for yourself, the roads have not been repaired, the water conservancy facilities in various places have not been repaired, and there are not many schools, so you know how to collect money, and you don't know how to do something for the people.

Let's just say that this year, how much balance does the Ministry of Civil Affairs have, and what are you going to do with the surplus money, stay in the treasury, and then distribute it to your officials, what are you kidding? Can't that money be used to do things? Li Shimin continued to scare Dai Guan.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is already building roads, and the reservoir is now being prepared, and it will definitely be launched next year!" Dai Xuan's face turned red, and he stared at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Cut, what about the money to start, if you don't have the money, you will start it later, this delay, it's another year, this year's drought in Chang'an, if there are a large number of reservoirs, can it be done like that, if I don't make a water dragon, you yourself say, how much grain will be lost?

I'm embarrassed to talk about the money, the Ministry of Industry has done a lot of things this year, not to mention others, the stove is made by people, the weapons are made by people, and the water dragon is also made by people, I won't talk about other things, people have worked hard for a year, and they can't share some money?

You didn't do anything, you moved your mouth, and you said that you wanted to divide the money, so why didn't I go to the Ministry of Industry, you look down on craftsmen, but you don't know that craftsmen are the people who should be valued the most in the court! Wei Hao sat there and said to them with disdain.

"Craftsmen belong to work, can't we, the scholars, compare to those craftsmen?" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Hao unconvinced and shouted.

"Compare with me, I don't read, I don't know how to write calligraphy, to compare, I don't believe that we make a bet, just bet that we will govern a county for the two of us, to see whose county people are richer, to see whose county governance is good, really, and with me,

You are studying, but the craftsmen are not worse than you, on the contrary, they should be rewarded, without them, you still want to live so conveniently, dreaming! Wei Hao sat there, still looking at Wei Zheng with disdain and said.

"Hmph, if you don't learn and don't know, there is a conclusion in the world, Shinong Industry and Commerce..."

"Don't give me this, that's you scholars, in order to show your status, you have been emphasizing that the status of craftsmen and merchants is inferior to the back, the reason why you put agriculture in front is because you are afraid of starvation, afraid of those common people having breakfast, after all, there are more people who farm the land!

But do you really take care of the farmers? Well? Now the children of the peasants have no way to study, so you have to find a way to get out of the books. And the merchants, what's wrong with the merchants? The merchant robbed your family of money, huh? Wei Hao sat there and said very unhappily.

"Merchants are profit-seeking!"

", what about every person who reads books? How so? ”

"The merchant is exploiting the people?"

"Your family doesn't hire a servant, how much do you pay them, a month?" ...

Wei Hao quickly argued with those people, Li Shimin just sat there and watched, Wei Hao's words had an impact on him, he had never thought about this before, and now when he heard Wei Hao say this, it seemed to make sense.

"Businessmen seek profit, for profit.."

"Can there be a new word, that is, this sentence, what businessmen do not chase for profit? Don't make money to give you things? People transport vegetables from the south, how much tax do you have to pay along the way, how much risk you have to take along the way, in case you can't sell it here, and it is smashed in your own hands, then according to what you mean, don't want businessmen, don't buy things, just eat the food grown by your own family, the whole Datang doesn't need money, why do you want money, businessmen don't have it, what do you spend money on? Wei Hao continued to refute the ministers.

"Alright, alright, don't say it!" Li Shimin saw that Wei Hao was holding up so many people alone, and his face was red, and he immediately shouted, he was afraid that he would go out again to fight alone.

"Father, their gang of people, they just can't see others well, and they still read books every day, yes, the readers were powerful before, there is no way, there are no books, they are all books controlled by the family, the family wants to make their status above the people, of course, the scholars are amazing,

said that businessmen are not good, how many people are secretly doing business in their families, that is, there are many businessmen on the side of the family, what kind of businessmen seek profits, and you don't want to do business in your family, you just study, if so, I Wei Shenyong obeys you, while scolding businessmen, while doing businessmen's things, and you scholars do it, I just look down on you guys who are sanctimonious, what are you pretending, who doesn't know who? Wei Hao still said to those people with disdain.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Wei Hao!"

"Impeachment fart, Wei Zheng, don't impeach you for a day when you're fine, you can't speak yet?" Wei Zheng was just about to impeach Wei Hao, but he was pushed back by Wei Hao's words, and then Wei Hao continued: "My words are right, you will impeach me?" ”

"That's enough, don't say any more, that's all!" Li Shimin continued to shout scoldingly, Wei Hao picked up the teacup, dry, just arguing with them, still a little thirsty,

Li Shimin then poured tea for Wei Hao, Wei Hao continued to drink, and then Wei Hao said: "Father, come by yourself, I'm thirsty, if you keep pouring it for me, then I'm guilty!" ”

"Hmm. Pour it yourself! Li Shimin gave Wei Hao the cup of justice, and then said to Wei Hao: "You said that if you sit here and discuss, you can quarrel with people, aren't you?" Ay! ”

Li Shimin originally wanted to say whether you are idle or not, but he held back, after all, it is a bit bad to say this.

"I said I won't come, you want me to come, father, I won't come tomorrow!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin very aggrieved and said.

"Why don't you try it?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely, Wei Hao was very helpless, he really didn't want to come, but there was no way, Li Shimin didn't let him.

"Okay, let's say okay first, let's not quarrel tomorrow, I'll just sleep, you say yours, and Wei Zheng, don't you stare at me, I didn't spoil your daughter, are you there?" Wei Hao sat there, finished speaking to those ministers, and then looked at Wei Zheng and said.

"You, you, old man! Old man! When Wei Zheng heard Wei Hao say this, he pointed at Wei Hao angrily, speechless, what is this called?

"Oh, okay, just an analogy! I don't even look down on your daughter! Wei Hao waved his hand and said with a smile.
