Chapter 648: Prophet of the Unknown
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all the ministers! A few days ago, I received a serious report about the robbery in the frontier. Many businessmen were robbed of tens of thousands of money. This money is their lucky money! ”
Liu Hongji said so, and especially called Li Chengqian, obviously to attract his attention, which meant that this matter was related to him.
Someone said, "Isn't this robbery happening every year?" And it happened on the frontier, which is also very normal. ”
"The imperial court keeps attacking, but these people are foreigners, and it is also a big problem for governance."
Some people said so, and more people thought, what does this have to do with money?
"Yes, the frontier problem has always been a big problem, and it can't be related to something because of this!"
Liu Hongji said:
"As we all know, because of the currency, the losses are even greater. It's a big loss at every turn. In this case, who would dare to trade on the frontier? In this way, how should we ensure the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty? In the past, it would have been possible to snatch so much money unless there were a few wagons, but today, it only takes one hand to take all their wealth. Isn't it scary to think about? ”
Mr. Liu's argument was recognized by some.
On the face of it, there's nothing wrong with that.
More and more people are joining in support of him.
It's like they've made an appointment.
Another person said: "It is true, while paper money brings us convenience, it also brings a lot of uncertainty to people's dangers, and people's lives and property are not effectively guaranteed." ”
"Yes, it is possible to snatch it once, a year, or even a lifetime of hard work in vain!"
"If this continues, how will our Datang expand? How else to develop the economy? ”
……
The opinions of these people were surprisingly unanimous, as if they had been agreed in advance.
Li Chengqian knew that they were all old-fashioned, so since he had implemented paper money, he must implement it. Whoever stops it will have no effect.
Besides, what kind of reform has not been difficult in history?
Moreover, he also figured out how to introduce the next mission. It just so happened that Liu Hongji came forward, brought convenience to himself, and laid a good foundation.
Above the court, there are many people who support Li Chengqian.
They are deeply skeptical of these people's arguments.
The ministers headed by Liu Hongji are showing their teeth and claws, which is annoying.
Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Liu Hongji said directly:
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be delayed, and please suspend it! Keep people safe! ”
Liu Hongji is really shameless, and in the name of people's safety, he wants to forcibly suspend the monetary reform, which is impossible.
He seemed a little anxious, so he directly asked Li Shimin to stop.
But when things are done, how can they stop? And the currency can be regarded as having more advantages than disadvantages.
Li Shimin was silent, he said: "I want to hear what Gao Ming means. ”
After Li Shimin saw Liu Hongji's excerpts, the whole person became contradictory. Therefore, he wanted to hear what Li Chengqian meant.
At this time, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the retainers have a few points to refute. ”
"Say!"
Liu Hongji showed a disdainful attitude.
"The first point is that the reform of the currency can be said to be more convenient than the disadvantage, do you dare to say that the old currency must be good? But any reform is limited by difficulties. Shang Ying entered Qin from the Wei State, and put forward a set of development strategies such as abandoning well fields, emphasizing agriculture and mulberry, rewarding military industry, implementing unified measurement and county system, and seeking innovation. After the Shang Dynasty reform, Qin's economy developed, and the combat effectiveness of the army was continuously strengthened, and it developed into the richest and most powerful country.
We can't waste food because of choking, put good things away and don't use them, and keep backward things as heirlooms.
The second point, when it comes to the frontier issue, this is also a long-standing problem, and the loss is not large, this is the bottom limit of my Datang, for the frontier problem, if it is the problem of the frontier between Tubo and my Datang Frontier, it is not enough to see our army, I suggest that they threaten them with trade and let them send troops to govern. ”
Li Chengqian first raised two points and expressed his opposition to Liu Hongji's plan.
Liu Hongji said:
"This method is only a palliative but not a cure, and this is essentially a monetary problem."
Although Li Chengqian listed many points to refute Liu Hongji, Liu Hongji still stubbornly believed that this was the case.
However, all the ministers unanimously believed that what Li Chengqian said was not wrong.
Gao Shilian said: "The frontier issue has been like this since ancient times, and it cannot be magnified because of individual cases. ”
Du Ruhui said:
"We all benefit from monetary reform, and we can't dismiss it because it's not good!"
There are also neutral people who say:
"If there is a problem, it needs to be solved, and it is not just a monetary problem, there are many problems. It can only be said that this currency is just an inducement, but it cannot be said to be the essence. ”
In any case, everyone agrees with Li Chengqian's statement.
Originally, Li Chengqian wanted to make a proposal, but he didn't expect to be disrupted by Liu Hongji.
But how could a smart man be disrupted?
Even, he said bluntly in front of Liu Hongji's case.
"Finally, it is inevitable that there will be some troubles in the continuous implementation of the currency, so this king also prepared a set of proposals yesterday, which are about some adverse effects on the people after the monetary reform."
After speaking, a thick book of proposals was revealed.
As soon as the last point was spoken, everyone was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian made preparations in advance, and every step of his reform was carried out in an orderly manner.
It's like a clever calculation, and he can figure out everything.
Liu Hongji on the side was not happy.
"Then please explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what kind of solution have you proposed?"
Now that the monetary reform has just been completed, what will he Li Chengqian do?
Is it a new reform?
Everyone was puzzled, and Li Shimin was even more curious.
"Gao Ming, is it the plan you said yesterday?"
Li Shimin thought of this for the first time.
Li Chengqian nodded and said, "That's it!" Erchen was about to mention it just now, but he didn't expect Kui Guogong to propose something else. And it just so happens that my proposal can solve his problem. ”
That's the foreshadowing, at least that's what people think.
"Good! Then I want to hear what your plan is. ”
It's not just Li Shimin who wants to know, everyone wants to know.
Every time, what Li Chengqian can bring is novel, and it will bring about earth-shaking changes.
"Your Majesty, this is a proposal made by Erchen, please take a look!"
