Chapter 417: Asking for the Silver of the Wa Kingdom
There is nothing wrong with this, as a Korean, Yuangai Suwen hated his two neighbors.
With that little place, they just want to establish a government, and they are half-dead to carry it, so it is better to summarize their Goryeo rule! Besides, because the envoy of the national letter was stopped, these two guys asked Datang for help, and Li Shimin reprimanded them with a piece of paper, and they could only let them go.
Shouldn't these two damn small countries be united in their Goryeo against Tang? Why did you wag your tail and beg for mercy to the Tang Dynasty?
What a damn one!
Tang Jian knew the gap between Goryeo and Silla and Baekje, so he naturally agreed.
Sending Yuan Gai Suwen away, Tang Jian put a checkmark after Gao Li's name, and now Gao Li has also arrived, but I don't know when Xue Yantuo and others will arrive? Hurry up! The old man's house is almost unable to open the pot!
Someone asked to see him again, Tang Jian hurriedly put away the chicken bones and duck bones, and was seen eating in the official hall, and the food was still the roast duck and roast chicken downstairs, and the impact was not very good.
The person who came was Lao Li, Tang Jian breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all night, why is Steward Li here?" Guogong is looking for me for something? ”
Lao Li shook his head, "The head of the family plans to avoid the limelight with the King of Hejian, although the grassland is Liwei, but the killing is too heavy, the methods are too brutal, and it is inevitable that there will be some rotten Confucianism." In this case, it is better to avoid it. ”
There are always some corrupt Confucians who are overflowing with sympathy, shouting "it hurts the heavens and harmony" with the pain of the enemy, Li Xiaogong is short-tempered, and it is estimated that he will scold the corrupt Confucians in court.
And Leng Feng also hates these people, so he simply can't see it out of sight and out of mind, and it is much more interesting to transform that horse farm with Li Xiaogong than to be angry.
Tang Jian nodded, it is true, some rotten ideas are not something that normal people can understand. Since this is the case, it is better to avoid it, and besides, these envoys are too weird, and he also guessed that it is the follow-up influence of Liwei.
Leng Feng and Li Xiaogong, who are the parties involved, are really not suitable to appear in public.
"In that case, what is the matter with you? It's not like the prince wants to hold a banquet to entertain me! ”
Lao Li smelled the smell in the official hall, and said with a smile, "How dare you delay Ju Guogong to make money, haha, in fact, the envoy of the Japanese State lost a lot of gold and silver to my lord, and my lord asked me to send some to you........."
Although Leng Feng won half of Su Jiro's gold and silver by gambling, it can be regarded as cutting off Li Shimin and Tang Jian's things, and he is not very good at holding them, isn't there a word called sharing the spoils, it would be better to share the spoils with them.
"I see!"
Tang Jian listened to Lao Li's narration and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just some gold and silver vulgar things, this ........."
Looking at the boxes that moved in, Tang Jian was not calm, "So much? ”
Lao Li said with a smile: "This place is rich in silver, and there is less gold. Although silver cannot be used as money, it is still used in large transactions. Silver was not considered a serious trading item in the past because of its scarcity of production.
My lord said that the silk cloth was still used as money, which was too chilling, and the imperial court should reform the monetary system. ”
"Reform the currency?" Tang Jian was taken aback, how could the currency be so easy to reform? In the fourth year of Wude, in order to rectify the chaotic currency system and abolish Sui money, Emperor Taishang decreed to follow the strict norms of the Western Han Dynasty of five baht and mint "Kaiyuan Tongbao" to replace the five baht left in the society.
But now it's all Zhenguan, there are still Sui five baht coins on the market, and Kaiyuan Tongbao is strung together, how to look at it and hate it. But what about hating? The use of currency is the world, the mint is just that, how much old money can be scrapped every year, and how much new money can be minted?
Not to mention.........
Tang Jian muttered, "Our Datang copper is really small, how can we support monetary reform?" ”
The highest standard of sacrifice is not gold and silver, but bronze, which shows how scarce copper is. The copper coins circulating in the market are actually alloys doped with many other metals, and they look a little whitish, so they are called "white copper".
It's a bit overwhelming to reform copper coins, so how can gold and silver be included in them?
Lao Li smiled and said, "The specific old slave has never heard the master talk about it, but since the master said it, there must be his way." ”
Tang Jian nodded, he was now convinced of Leng Feng's words.
Opening one of the boxes, Tang Jian looked at the fineness of the silver inside, and was very satisfied, "Although this silver is still a bit miscellaneous, it is not troublesome to refine it. ”
Lao Li nodded, "That's true, it's useless for them to hold the silver anyway, it's better to enter the Tang Dynasty and play its role!" ”
"This is a bit difficult to do."
Tang Jian had a headache, as a small country, it was necessary for the Wa State to make offerings to the Tang Dynasty, but across the sea, there was not much pressure on them, and how to open their mouths to collect tribute was still a problem.
"This matter will have to wait for me to make a decision after I report to His Majesty, and I will write you a receipt. You take the receipt and go back and tell Guogong that it's good to avoid the small limelight at the beginning, and don't avoid it for too long. If he and the King of the River are gone, what shall I use to scare the Japanese people? ”
Since these are for gunpowder weapons, how can they satisfy their curiosity in moderation, although the Wa Kingdom has the protection of the sea and the three meat shields of Goryeo, Silla, and Baekje, but it is also necessary to scare him.
Who gave you much money?
After calculating the weight and fineness of gold and silver, Tang Jian wrote a receipt to Leng Feng, and he didn't need such a thing as a receipt for private affairs, but this was about business, so he had to do business.
After all, it wasn't just one or two people who were hot on their Honglu Temple at this time.
When Lao Li returned to the house with the receipt, Leng Feng was talking with his three apprentices around the stove, and Li Chengqian was yearning for the story of going north. Before, because the two younger brothers could go, he could only be trapped in the East Palace and was angry, but now listening to stories to relieve addiction is not bad.
After reading the receipt, Leng Feng threw the receipt aside, and Li Chengqian, who had just learned Master's plan, couldn't help but ask, "Master, you want to reform the currency, although you can get a lot of silver from the Japanese Kingdom, but the most important copper, how do you solve it?" ”
Leng Feng said helplessly, "It's very simple, why do you always count one copper plate at a time?" Money, or copper plates, is something that people define it as valuable, and it can be exchanged for things.
Numbers are born for people, and sometimes when you buy something, you feel that dozens of copper plates are too much trouble, so why not make a copper plate with the number 'ten' printed on it? "Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
