Li Shimin seems to be in a good mood today, because he has heard some good things about the locust plague. Everything was under control, and all the people were happy.

"Gao Ming, tell me about the recent locust plague?"

Li Shimin said.

As soon as Li Chengqian heard this, he knew that the opportunity had come, and what he wanted to do next was something related to the economy.

Just take this opportunity to perform well and complete the task by the way.

Therefore, he said: "Under the wise leadership of Your Majesty, we have won a great victory in this locust plague, and the locust plague has been completely extinguished by us.

During this time, we lost thousands of acres of fertile land, but most of the fertile land was safe! Now people have been organized to replant, I believe that in autumn, there will still be a bumper harvest!

The impact of this locust plague is limited! ”

Li Chengqian's words surprised the ministers, in other words, in the past, wherever the locust plague went, there was no complete existence, but now it seems that this is not the case, all this is due to Li Chengqian.

Someone asked, "Are the locusts really destroyed?" ”

Li Chengqian said straightly: "That's right, because of the promotion that day, let people know that there are still such delicious foods in the world, so the shrewd businessmen began to look for locusts around, and the people under the so-called profit drive are extremely crazy, and the surrounding areas, and even farther away, people take locust hunting as a business!" So that their number is reduced again! ”

In this way, another ending was obtained, and it turned out that there was still this kind of operation. This is something that people did not expect!

"But ......"

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he said another but, as soon as this but came out, I am afraid there is nothing good to say. People's hearts were raised, and they all hoped that there would be no more trouble, like catching bugs, and they didn't want to do it a second time!

Sure enough, he said: "The locust plague started from the place of origin, and caused some losses along the road, about hundreds of thousands of people were affected. ”

It turned out to be saying this, and people were taken aback, and if that's the case, it's still good.

Li Shimin said: "This is a matter of course, food can be taken from the national treasury, and money can be distributed to provide relief to the victims so that they can survive this disaster!" ”

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the ministers should be, and at the same time, their faces were much more relaxed.

This is a routine operation, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But Li Chengqian did not achieve his goal, but said: "But ......"

Every time he raised a different opinion, some people would always mention it inadvertently, but what is it?

Li Shimin was puzzled, he had proposed a good solution, what else did he Li Chengqian do?

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, as soon as the treasury is opened, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain and money, and it will take a lot of manpower to transport food alone, and if you add money, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of manpower!"

Now it is a post-disaster reconstruction, and the people in Chang'an City have begun a new round of busyness, and there is a shortage of manpower.

Liu Hongji smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means not to give them money?" After all, food is more important! In order to alleviate the hassle of freight? ”

It is understandable that he would say such a thing, why?

That's because the money in the Tang Dynasty was copper money, and the weight of the money that was hung and hung was a lot, and the money needed by these hundreds of thousands of people alone was naturally more. It doesn't even mean that you don't even use money.

Of course, this is just his speculation, but he should not misinterpret Li Chengqian's meaning because of his speculation.

"When did this king say that?"

"Then what is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do? Isn't it to raise trouble and avoid it? ”

"This king doesn't have to talk to you."

Li Chengqian expressed disdain.

The two have always been at odds, and Li Shimin knows it.

So he said:

"Gao Ming, I also want to know, what do you mean by your words?"

"Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that this is the right time to start the currency reform!"

Reform? This one......

Everyone is blinded, why change it? Good thing, why change it?

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone disagreed.

Someone said: "The currency was set by the emperor, if you change it rashly, I am afraid it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it will cost money!" ”

"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know how much hard work was put into setting the currency at that time? How can you say that you can change it? ”

"At that time, how much manpower and material resources were paid, and the efforts of thousands of craftsmen, did we have today's money. Why change? Does it make sense? ”

"I'm afraid there is nothing more suitable in the world than the current currency!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have you found out after investigation?"

"Can't be changed!"

The perception of the anti-conservative school always stops at the beginning, and they have an inner fear of everything that is new, and they are unwilling to change. I am afraid of trouble, and of course, I am even more afraid of touching my own interests.

However, there are still some radical people, who agree with Li Chengqian's approach, so they are humane:

"We think it's better to listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and what he should do!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never disappointed us again, how to change this currency? He can talk about it! ”

"Don't beat you to death with a stick, that's not good!"

刘洪基 says:

"Hmph, I'm afraid it will also cause some big repercussions, bad repercussions! Datang should be stable, not chaotic! ”

What he could think of, of course Li Chengqian wanted it, first of all, of course, those businessmen were naturally unwilling.

The crowd was very noisy.

Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to everyone, but the old god was there, and he didn't feel the slightest.

In a moment, he's going to put on a show.

Li Shimin motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then asked:

"Gao Ming, why do you want to change the direction of goods?"

Li Chengqian spoke.

"Because the current currency is inconvenient to carry, Erchen thinks that a new currency needs to enter!"

For this reason, it is also deeply fearful, and the current currency is indeed inconvenient to carry, but anyone who has a little money, who does not have boxes of cash stored at home?

It's not easy to do business, and the cost of transportation alone is very high. It's a hindrance! If the economy wants to develop, it must be broken! Economic activity will be frequent in the future, and copper coins can no longer adapt.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin also seems to have some understanding.

After all, they lived in the same time.

"What? I want to hear it! ”

"The currency that Erchen wants to change can be exchanged in one hand!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, what are you talking about, all in one hand? How can it be done. It's not a Taoist monk, and you don't know mana magic, how is it possible??

People think that Li Chengqian is not talking big, or he is talking in a dream.

Even Li Shimin is reluctant to believe that this kind of can be realized, they think that money is copper money, then it is called money!
