"Gao Ming, is this really possible?"

Li Shimin's words prove his position, that is, he is a little reluctant to believe it. So doubts were raised.

"Your Majesty, it is possible! Erchen has also prepared some samples of reform. ”

Li Chengqian's words aroused everyone's suspicion, it turned out that the prince had already thought about what he wanted to do today, this guy is really strong.

In his words, this is called planning ahead, and everything must be done in advance to achieve the best results.

In order to achieve the best way to pretend to be forced, fast and good.

Li Shimin was curious and asked, "Take it out and take a look!" ”

The crowd was even more puzzled, especially wondering what it was.

Li Chengqian should be, so he took out a few pieces of paper.

This paper is some, and everyone is even more puzzled.

What kind of reform is this?

Paper?

Why Paper?

"This?"

"This can be used as paper money, that is, money made of paper!"

Li Chengqian explained.

But his explanation has some disagree.

"It's ridiculous how paper can be used as money!"

"Yes! The price of paper and the price of copper are not the same! ”

"It's better to use silk cloth! Grain! ”

These things can be used as currency, and they are also very useful. But these things can be so convenient as paper money? It's too heavy, and it will deteriorate.

Someone else said:

"Paper is easy to break, and if it is damaged, isn't it ruined? Copper coins won't! ”

For thousands of years, people's concept of money is a physical object, not a piece of paper that can be summarized, so when Li Chengqian designated that these papers are money, people are unwilling to agree and do not want to agree, after all, this is contrary to people's understanding!

Banknotes are less expensive to make, easier to keep, carry and transport, and avoid wear and tear in circulation when coinaged. Paper money is a form of currency commonly used in countries around the world today, and the earliest paper money in the world is the "Jiaozi" of Chengdu, Sichuan during the Northern Song Dynasty of China.

Fang Xuanling said bluntly: "This is a very radical approach, and it is really like what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, you can master everything!" ”

10,000 pieces, that's how heavy it is, but if it turns into paper, it's only a lot! Hold it in one hand!

"Lao Cheng, I believe the words of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"How did we not think of this method! It's just great! ”

……

This is the reaction of supporters.

Li Chengqian nodded at them, and then said:

"Your Majesty, let me tell you what the advantages of this banknote are!"

Li Shimin has been skeptical until now.

"Speak!"

"First, it is easy to print, if the banknote circulates into the market, then its printing is hundreds of times better than that of the copper coin, and it can be completed in a short time! It greatly saves manpower and material resources, and even the mined copper can be used for other purposes! ”

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, it seems to be so! Obvious! ”

"Second, it is only a supplement to the existing currency, not a replacement, those who like paper money use paper money, and those who like copper money use copper money, there is no contradiction!"

Li Chengqian's sentence directly blocked everyone's mouth, supplementing rather than replaceing, this is fatal, Li Chengqian has reason to believe that with the ease of use of paper money, and easy to carry, people will use copper coins? It's basically impossible.

Someone shouted:

"Is it possible for everyone to print banknotes?"

Someone else said:

"Yes, is there a way to prevent counterfeiting? You must know that there are still people who will imitate the currency of my Datang, how will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deal with this aspect! ”

Li Chengqian smiled coldly.

"You don't have to worry about this, why? Because Datang has the most advanced paper, this king will add the most advanced anti-counterfeiting technology, such as watermarks and the like, and the most advanced ink will also be used! There is also a drawing pattern above, which is naturally not easy to imitate! ”

Li Chengqian just didn't want to do it, and if he did, it could be said that no one could imitate it.

People are still in a state of half-understanding about watermarks, and Li Chengqian does not plan to go deep into words.

"Is that a piece of paper?"

A key question was asked.

"Naturally not, this king is in units of five, ten, twenty, fifty, and hundred, and the exchange of each unit is naturally different."

Why five, ten, twenty, fifty, hundred, the reason is very simple, is to follow the practice of the future, the smallest denomination is one copper coin, the maximum is a hundred, that is really a supplement to it.

People are still counting with their fingers, and these people are not very good at arithmetic.

Li Chengqian had already taken out five kinds of pattern coins, which were exactly the five denominations he was talking about.

"These banknotes will supplement copper coins in the future and revitalize the economy."

This is his first step in economic reform, and if he does not do this, the future direction of the economy will not peak.

This would have been absolutely impossible in the past, but now it is possible, because the progress of papermaking and printing has brought limited possibilities.

Li Chengqian's words sparked a discussion among everyone.

The most excited, I'm afraid only Li Shimin.

"Really? If this is the case, my Datang's economy will be revitalized! ”

"Your Majesty, this is only the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it has not yet sparked a debate, what the facts are, I have not known!"

Liu Hongji stopped.

No matter what purpose he came from to stop it, it made people feel like a mantis arm blocking the car, and he couldn't do anything about it!

"Isn't it enough to transport and preserve it? Imagine that people can carry money directly into their pockets in the future, and it is also possible to avoid the risk of theft. Just ask, if you do a business and transport the money of a large cart, which is higher, the cost required or the fact that one person can carry it? And with the passage of time, paper money will circulate more and more, and money will circulate in order to come alive, and Datang will become more powerful. You know what? ”

Li Chengqian's words caused everyone to nod yes.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's method is really unprecedented, and there is no one to come!"

"This method is really ahead of its time!"

The answer has been revealed, so there's no need to guess.

Naturally, he also obtained points from the ministers, although not much, but there were thousands of points.

Li Shimin's attitude also proves everything.

"Good! Gao Ming is not wrong, Datang's currency is to be changed! This matter was carried out by the six departments of Gao Mingji! Xuan Ling and Ru Hui also need to help Gao Ming, this matter is not trivial, and there must be no loss! ”

Li Shimin also agreed, he said, in this way, the matter has been decided.

He seems to see that the future Datang will be stronger and stronger than he imagined.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Li Chengqian subconsciously glanced at Liu Hongji on the side and sneered.

Thank you so much for this guy's help.

Without waiting for Li Shimin to announce his retirement from the dynasty, a small yellow gate suddenly broke in.

"Report!"
