As soon as the words fell, Wenyi felt that the room was suddenly much brighter, and when he looked down, all the patriarchs stared at him with their eyes flashing with titanium alloy dog eyes, and the room was filled with heavy male gasps, as if they had seen a peerless beauty.

Wenyi subconsciously hugged his chest with his hands, and quickly reacted that he was a man who was afraid of wool! He coughed vigorously twice and continued: "Everyone, before the auction, let's make the conditions clear. First of all, you must not mistreat the captives, but you must feed and clothe them, and ensure that their lives are safe. Secondly, after ten years, they must be given a Datang household registration. Ten years later, they need to be hired according to the standards of the people of Datang. ”

The one at the bottom immediately asked, "Wen Xiang, according to what you mean, you don't need to pay them wages for ten years?" ”

Eh, his brain is fast but not necessarily easy, didn't he see that the other heads of the family were staring at him? Wenyi took a sip of the wine glass, plucked out his ears and asked Wen Erba: "Erba, this wine is very good, I will pack a jar and bring it back later." ”

After receiving countless annoyed eyes, the mouthy guy also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and dried it in one gulp: "This wine is really good, I will pack a jar in a while." Hehe, hehe..."

Literature and art didn't want him to ruin the atmosphere that had just been coaxed, so he immediately turned back to the topic: "Your Majesty has a decree: each prisoner of war will start at 10 taels of silver, and the one with the highest price will get it!" But not free shipping! Go to Datong City to lead people by yourself. Now the auction is just the beginning! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Bao, the head of the Yuan family of the first family in Henan, immediately shouted: "My Yuan family has 15 taels and wants 10,000 people!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji followed: "My eldest grandson's family is 20 taels, and I want 10,000 people!" ”

......

Nearly 100,000 captives were sold for 250,000 in an instant! This also met the expectations of literature and art. After all, various industries have just emerged, and Datang's population base is too small, and its consumption capacity is limited. In addition to buying the captives at a good price, the first auction of literature and art also wanted to see how big a gap there was in terms of labor. If they had time to make a careful calculation, I believe that the figure of 250,000 would never have appeared!

After the heads of the family finished bidding, Wenyi said: "Everyone, I thought that 100,000 captives should be enough for you, but who knew that your demand was so big, this time the number of people is too small, if the auction is as originally planned, there will always be some people who can't buy it, everyone is their own people who don't look up and don't look down, but you can't make conflicts because of a few captives." In this way, you can discuss it, let's divide the 100,000 equally, there will still be captives. ”

The heads of the families who were red-faced and red-eared looked at each other and thought about it, although they didn't know what was happening at the front, but it was not possible for anyone to defeat the unruly Turks and make the entire army surrender. How many more times in the future, will there be no more prisoners of this kind of war than they can be used up? Thinking about buying a captive and having to take care of food, wear, and safety, well, I was a little impulsive just now, so I still have to calm down.

Soon, the close heads of the family got together and began to discuss the distribution of prisoners. After Wenyi drank two pots of grapes, they discussed a plan that everyone accepted: 6,000 people from the Yuan family, 7,000 people from the Changsun family, and 5,000 people from the Cui family... Bid 100 taels per captive!

Literary and artistic music, who said that the family is not patriotic, he thought that they could give 30 taels of prisoners would already be very face-saving, who knew that they raised the price to 100 taels on the grounds that the soldiers fought hard for the country! What a man! Then what else to say, let Wen Erba carry the four treasures of the Wen Fang to sign and draw on the spot. Wenyi happily put the 9.7 million taels of notes into his arms, and thought beautifully: I can exchange 10 million taels of banknotes again, this transaction is too easy! Just ask who else can be better than Lao Tzu!

Everyone went home happy. The next day, the court meeting was held as usual under the auspices of Li Jiancheng, but what was unusual was that there was a younger young descendant standing behind Wenyi, who was also wearing a python robe and jade belt, and his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, faintly showing Li Shimin's demeanor back then. After the routine was handled, the little junior stood up and played: "Lord Wang, the minister Li Ke has a book to play." ”

Li Jiancheng also learned of his plan in the past few days, nodded and said, "What is going on?" ”

Li Ke handed over the fold to the chamberlain and said: "Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty uses currency to divide gold, silver, Tongbao, and cloth, although there are many types, but they are not easy to carry and trade. Gu Chen drafted a currency reform plan to replace the current metal currency with paper money. ”

Li Jiancheng picked up the fold and looked at it roughly, and then asked the chamberlain to hand it over to several prime ministers to watch. After everyone had seen it, Li Jiancheng asked, "Do you have any objections to the prime minister?" ”

Wei Zheng frowned and said, "Lord Wang, paper money is just a blank piece of paper in the final analysis, how can it replace gold and silver?" Isn't that child's play? I don't think it's appropriate. ”

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xiao Yu also rarely agreed with what Wei Zheng said.

Wenyi smiled and nodded at Li Ke. Li Ke straightened his waist and said without humility or arrogance: "Wei Xiang's words are wrong, if the lower officials dare to use paper money instead of gold and silver, they dare to guarantee that paper money is absolutely unique, and it is impossible for anyone to forge paper money at least in the next ten years." Moreover, the number of banknotes issued is based on the reserve quantity of gold and silver, which can ensure that the face value of each banknote is absolutely genuine. ”

Paper money is a new thing, Wei Zheng can't find too many reasons to oppose it, and it turns over and over that paper money is made of paper, and there is no such thing as gold and silver. Li Ke also made a big move: "No matter how much the lower official explains, Wei Xiang can't understand, so why don't you show Wei Xiang again." ”

Wei Xiang and the others nodded, and Li Ke took out a note from the previous eldest grandson Wuji in exchange for supplies and said: "This is an IOU from the eldest grandson, borrowing 1.6 mm iron sheet 1,500 tons from Wen Xiang at a price of 2 million taels, please take a look at the eldest grandson, whether it is true." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji took the IOU, looked at it and nodded, "This is indeed written by this official." ”

Li Ke nodded and said: "Xiaguan has a batch of materials worth just 2 million taels, Wen Xiang wants it but doesn't have enough silver taels in his hand, so he transferred this IOU to Xia Guan, and Xia Guan gave this batch of materials to Wen Xiang after verifying that it was correct." So in this process, does this piece of paper act as 2 million taels of silver? This is how banknotes work. ”

Wei Zheng was stunned for a long time and didn't understand, he wanted to say that Li Ke was wrong, but the truth was true, if Wenyi used this IOU to buy something from him, he would also sell it to him, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Li Jiancheng saw that a few of them couldn't say anything, and said: "The plan for the issuance of banknotes is very good, but this is a new thing that cannot be achieved overnight. In this way, let Datang Bank now carry out a trial around Chang'an, and report any problems in time. ”

Wei Zheng heard that Li Jiancheng only agreed to the pilot in Chang'an, so he no longer objected. As a result, the epoch-making product of paper money appeared in Datang without any waves. How big is the impact? Just look at a few years later, the vault covers an area larger than the palace, and you can imagine it!

Li Ke was appointed vice president of Datang Bank, responsible for the promotion of banknotes. Literature and art are relaxed, and they will run home as soon as they go home, and it is more important than anything to quickly drum up some fireworks, and they are about to get married! How can there be no fireworks!

Just when he was busy for the fireworks, in the distant universe, on a planet with green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers, a middle-aged man in his 40s and a young man in his 20s were leisurely lying on a recliner made of vines and chatting. The middle-aged man took a sip of fresh coconut and asked, "How's it going?" ”

The young man glanced in the direction of the earth and replied lazily: "Sooner than expected, the Turks have been dealt with, and now he can be said to have reached the limit, and it is not for him to do it alone." ”

The middle-aged man lazily thought for a while before he said, "Then raise the IQ of his assistants." ”

The young man nodded and said, "This is easy to do, but just let him develop like this?" Don't you give him some enemies or something? Even if you write a novel, you can't do without a villain, right? ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while: "Villain? Hairy? Eventually, he will die at the hands of the protagonist, wait and see, I want to see how far I can go with his free development. ”

Without thinking, the young man asked, "Where else can we go?" At the level of the fourth grade of elementary school, the earth's resources are too scarce, and there is not even a basket of metals that can collect dark matter. ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Then put a little bit of the metal on the earth." ”

The young man shook his head and said, "Then he will be able to reach the level of the fifth grade of primary school in his previous life, and he will definitely not be able to graduate." And he hasn't found the clue to the key yet. ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Then he's really stupid, let's find someone to help him." ”

The young man nodded: "I really want to let the Princes go too?" ”

The middle-aged man said after a while: "The Princes are too far away, it's not good to scare ordinary people on the earth, so you should just create one." Just make up for the resources that the earth lacks, and the amount is not too much, just enough for him to squander. ”

The young man thought for a while and nodded: "Big brother, can you not be so lazy?" You don't want to use your brain, you must know that I am doing all the hard work! ”

The middle-aged man sighed: "Do you work harder, brother, I've been busy for hundreds of thousands of years, and I finally got you here, so can't you do more?" The rest is up to you, I'm going to sleep a little longer, what a sun! It's a shame not to get some sleep. After speaking, he changed to a comfortable position and fell asleep.

The young man rubbed his belly full of coconut water and said to himself: "Cut, isn't it just lazy, and you still make so many excuses!" How don't you laze to death! ”

The young man threw the empty coconut into the sky and slowly walked towards his studio. As he walked, he pondered: "Create a race?" Well, just Atlantis, it's in the Atlantic, it's close, and it's easy to find excuses. Resources, 箛, 瀞, 巕... You have to be prepared. Eh, that's a nuisance, boy! You make me work so hard, and Lao Tzu won't let you have a good time! Throw it to the horns of the earth, and find it yourself! Ha ha! ”
