Shuangyao City Sandwich Road, Shaofu Prison Inner Storage.

This place occupies a wide area, occupies the east city wall of the Taichu Palace, the yards and houses are scaled into pieces, the Taifu Temple will occasionally borrow this place when the warehouse outside the city is tense, and when the royal land rent tax comes up, it will also be full for a period of time, most of the time, it is empty.

Empress Wu personally came, only to get off the Luan drive, she squinted her eyes, when the warehouse was full, she also came to see, the same yellow and white, at that time it was rice and corn, but now it is gold and silver, piled up very artistically, like a towering pagoda, gold and silver opposite, next to one side of the wall, neatly arranged, leaving only less than a zhang of spacing in the middle, for people to walk.

Empress Wu stretched out her hand to hold the hand of Princess Yunxi, who came with her, shuttling between the golden and silver towers, her plump and white cheeks, reflecting yellow on one side and white on the other, only the red dress on her body could not be moved, and she was not contaminated by this vulgar color.

"Ministers, Wu Chongxing to meet Your Majesty"

"Greetings with Your Majesty"

Quan Ce took the lead, Wu Chongxing and Hebule were behind, standing on the central axis of the Shaofu Prison's inner storehouse, bowing down to greet them.

Empress Wu waved her hand, turned around and asked Yun Xi, "Have you counted, how many stupas we have walked through, and how many floors are there in the stupas?" ”

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, and touched his cheeks in embarrassment, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, there is too much gold and silver, and the concubines are dazzled, and they don't count."

"Hehe" Empress Wu smiled leisurely, suddenly withdrew her smile, and said with a straight face, "This is the wealth that your husband earned for Da Zhou, why don't you care?" ”

Yun Xi was even more embarrassed.

Princess Yiyang also followed, wanting to help her daughter-in-law, but she was also immersed in the shock of the huge amount of gold and silver, and she didn't care about the number, so she was in a hurry.

Suddenly, her sleeve was pulled, and she turned her face to see that it was Shangguan Wan'er, and she reached out and wrote two numbers in the palm of Princess Yiyang's hand.

Princess Yiyang glanced at her gratefully, and did not avoid Empress Wu, and whispered a few words in Yun Xi's ear.

Yun Xi's eyes lit up, and she said bluntly, "Your Majesty, Mother said that the pagoda has nine floors, and there are five on the left and right."

"Hahaha" Empress Wu laughed and patted the back of Yun Xi's hand, "Your husband is a clever and exquisite heart, let me go through this ninety-five road, and make a perfect one, you have to be more delicate in the future, don't let her bully"

Yun Xi patted his chest, his eyes widened and he was dissatisfied, "Your Majesty, Yun Xi is smart, just facing outsiders"

Empress Wu smiled again, her love for her was a little stronger, and stroked her red cheeks, "Yun Xi is pregnant with a child, and has accompanied me all this way, I can't say nothing, nine, the number is extreme, perfect, I am afraid of being jealous, I will give you one of the ten"

This opening, is a golden tower and a silver tower given, everyone is terrified, many people take a big risk of disrespect to peek at the Empress Wu, she has always been well versed in the way of punishment and reward, grace is moderate, but every time you encounter the right strategy, the gift on the money silk, there is no boundary, it is really incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty" Quan Ce hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade, "Your Majesty has been favored, has been rewarded repeatedly, the minister's family has a huge amount of money, and he will never dare to be greedy again, and these gold and silver, the minister has a discussion, and please think twice."

"I've given you so much money?" Empress Wu was stunned for a moment, and sighed slightly, "You got married and started a business, and I was worried that you didn't have the resources to raise you, but I forgot that you could get these gold and silver for me, where would you be short of money and silk to spend?" That's it, if you don't want it, I'll keep it."

"Your Majesty Xie" Princess Yiyang and Yun Xi squatted down to give a blessing, and Quan Ce bowed down and bowed again.

Empress Wu waved her hand to call them up, Princess Yiyang has been hanging her head, she rarely sets foot in the palace, although the eldest son is often favored, she doesn't know the details, today I saw the words and deeds of the Empress Wu, the care for the power policy does not seem to be fake, the heart was impacted, and the eyes were slightly red.

Empress Wu glanced at her and didn't say anything, "The pagoda is well placed, I see it, Chongxing, all converge, you go and give an order to Li Duozuo, the military police sentry will not return to the camp for the time being, and will be stationed in the inner treasury."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Wu Chongxing bowed to receive the order.

"Hebule, you have worked hard all the way, rest for a while, and then go to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and order Quan Long to divide the troops of 10,000 people with you, Sado, Fushimi, and Ashio, since they were purchased by the Great Zhou, then the laws of the Great Zhou should be implemented, and I ordered you to be the governor of Fusang, to rule the three places, and Luo Wu was the deputy, and the two of you must take good care of my land" In front of the gold and silver, the Empress Wu finally officially recognized the value of this so-called sea trade.

"Your Majesty rest assured, people are in the mine, and people are dead in the mine" Hebuler is not very particular, and directly points out that the essence lies in the mineral deposits.

Empress Wu's expression did not move, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, invigorate the military might, the fireworks army is the leader, and the fireworks general Xue Chongyin will lead the whole army to walk with you, and give priority to supply as needed, don't lose hope."

Hebl prostrated repeatedly.

Empress Wu flicked the sleeves of her robe, turned to leave, and never looked back at the ten golden pagodas and ten silver pagodas.

Empress Wu ordered Quan Ce to send Princess Yiyang and Yun Xi back to their residence in the palace, located in a main hall south of Jiuzhou Pond, called Hanguang Palace, in the courtyard of this palace, there is a pavilion, called Yinan Pavilion, quite a heart.

"Da Lang, although you are capable and have great merits, you must not lose your normal heart" Princess Yiyang called him close and whispered, "Although she treats you closely, she is the emperor after all, and caution is the best."

"The child knows, mother can rest assured" Quan Ce nodded heavily, and in turn instructed her, "Mother, in the palace, if you have something difficult, you can go to Li Li, and if you are older, you can ask Shangguan Wan'er and Xie Yaohuan to take care of the two female officials...... After all, it is no longer helpless, don't think about the past, too much sentimentality, but it will hurt your body"

"Don't worry, husband, I will take care of my mother" Yun Xi stepped forward, her eyes shining, "Before I enter the palace, I asked Hua Nu to list the people and things to pay attention to, and promise not to cause trouble to my husband"

Hearing her words, Quan Ce was quite touched, and stretched out his arms to hug her in his arms.

The three of them talked for a long time before Quan Ce left and went to the Hall of Eternal Life.

Empress Wu had already retreated left and right, leaving Shangguan Wan'er alone, looking at him with blazing eyes.

"Your Majesty, this time there are 200,000 catties of gold and silver, and the total amount of money and silk is about 22 million, but how to spend it must be considered in the long run, and the sudden entry of a large amount of gold and silver into the people will only lead to a sharp decrease in the value of gold and silver, hurt the small people, and is not conducive to the long-term" Quan Ce's expression was serious and resolute.

"Go on" Empress Wu waved her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, a little puzzled.

"The minister thinks that the so-called treasure, in addition to the storage and inheritance, its value lies in the purchase of physical goods, in order to avoid the impact on the people, the minister thinks that these gold and silver, should be purchased in bulk foreign trade, and the gold and silver should be used to make the whole world become the servants of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty" Quan Ce said extremely excitedly, "Including, these gold and silver can be used to redeem fertile land from the family of the gate lord, can be used to buy goods from the wealthy merchants, can be used to build civil engineering projects, and will never be allowed to flow directly to the people."

Empress Wu's brows furrowed even tighter, "I know it externally, but internally, you just said that gold and silver would hurt the small people, and now you say that you want to use it internally, isn't it contradictory?" ”

"Your Majesty, the small people of Shengdou have very little income, and there are more copper coins in circulation, and the gate valve Dajia, who has gold and silver, prefers to store, as long as the flow of gold and silver is restricted, the fall in the price of gold and silver can be greatly delayed," Quan Ce explained.

Empress Wu rubbed the corners of her forehead and asked, "Delay?" Is it going to fall? The gate valve family is not a fool, if they come back to their senses and also sell gold and silver, what should they do? ”

"At that time, let alone a few years later, the Shaofu Supervisor will collect and store again" Quan Ce calmly dealt with it, "The minister asked His Majesty to order Du Xianyan Shangshu to open a coinage division in the Wa Kingdom, and after the gate valve family sold the gold and silver, the minted massive copper coins were transported back, and between a few years of entry and exit, it was enough to greatly damage its vitality"

Empress Wu stood up, rubbed her fingers, and thought for a while, "You tossed these two times, just to hit the gate valve?" ”

"Not only that, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the current money and silk as the currency, gold and silver are rarely in circulation, and the price of copper money is vague, tossing these two times, when its exchange rate is relatively stable, you can use gold and silver, copper money as currency, reduce the pain of bulk money and silk transportation, facilitate the circulation of merchants, and silk cloth will withdraw from the ranks of currency, laying the foundation for the prosperity of all industries in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the merchants from all over the world" Quan Ce said with blood surging and his cheeks flushed.

"Hehe" Empress Wu smiled, slowly came over, and looked at him for a long time, "Who can handle this matter except you?" ”

Quan Ce did not hesitate, "His Royal Highness the King or the important ministers and ministers of the court with rich family resources"

"Oh?" Empress Wu was puzzled, "Why do you want to have a rich family?" ”

"Don't be greedy," Quan Ce replied.

Empress Wu nodded, turned away with his hands in his hands. I want to talk about "The Dawn of the Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life, and find a confidant~
