It is not difficult for the smelter to improve the purity of gold, silver and copper to a certain extent, and as long as the steel mold is carved, it is not difficult to make gold, silver and copper coins with equal weight and consistent appearance by means of the smelter.

After Sun Xiangfu handed over the portrait of Li Shimin that he had drawn with the sketch method to the craftsmen, he waited for them to come up with a sample, and the copper coins will be divided into three kinds in the future, the lightest weight, one penny, five times heavier than five cents, and ten times heavier than ten cents.

Silver coins and gold coins are only one or two coins, one silver coin is a consistent coin, and one gold coin is ten coins. It is not necessarily necessary to smelt all the gold, silver and copper into money, because after Sun Xiangfu went to the smelter, he would also go to the printing factory.

Similar to the banknotes of the bank, also began to study the printing, this aspect of the process, than the smelting of coins is more complicated, need some exploration, the banknotes in the future will have ten money, twenty money, fifty money, one hundred money, consistent money, five money and the highest amount of ten money seven settings, and then with a larger amount of payment, then you have to pay the cash check of the bank, that is, the previous cash deposit, after the basic go to a large amount, a hundred to start.

This kind of deposit ticket can be registered, it can be bearer, the meaning of the name is that only the designated person, with the household registration can be cashed, bearer, that is, anyone can be cashed, but, bearer deposit ticket, a maximum of 10,000 cap.

This kind of banknotes and cash deposits, mainly for the convenience of the people to carry and large transactions, and so on after the establishment of the entire monetary system, the people can go to the bank, arbitrarily exchange paper money for gold, silver and copper coins, can also use gold, silver and copper coins, exchange paper money, but if the amount is high, you need to make an appointment a few days in advance.

After the full implementation of the new currency, the official taxes of the imperial court, and the money in and out of the court, will all be settled in the new currency, that is to say, the existing copper coins in the hands of the people have to go to the money bank to exchange for new money before they can be used, as for the gold and silver, they must also be sent to the official mint to mint city coins before they can be used.

The imperial court does not directly issue banknotes to the market, and only when the corresponding gold, silver and copper coins are exchanged, the corresponding equivalent banknotes will be given, which makes it easier for the people to believe that the imperial court introduced banknotes only to facilitate everyone's trading and carrying.

Three days later, Sun Xiangfu returned to Chang'an with all the samples of the new currency designed and produced, anyway, there was a general appearance of the future generations to plagiarize, he didn't need to spend much brains, and above the court, all the courtiers also saw the coins that Datang was about to fully implement for the first time.

"Your Majesty, the gold, silver, and copper coins of this fineness are much higher than those used in the past, and the introduction of gold and silver into the monetary system can greatly increase the circulation of the market, and the minister recommends that it be implemented immediately."

Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, said after the ministers had circulated the samples of the coins.

"The minister seconded the proposal, not only that, paper money can greatly alleviate the problem of too much money and inconvenience for the people to carry, the minister suggested, implement it as a whole." The eldest grandson Wuji is also out of the class.

The transaction in the market is more convenient, so the transaction circulation of everyone will naturally be larger, and the transaction volume will be larger, so the tax collected by his household will naturally be more.

"Ministers seconded the ······"

The coins are all printed with Li Shimin's portrait! Who would dare to oppose the political significance inside?

Moreover, using gold, silver and copper as the standard, the issuance of new currency, in fact, the court has long been expected, to say who has the most precious metals, of course, these ministers in the court represent the magnates, this time just through the imperial court to implement monetary policy, all the gold and silver in their homes to the official coinage workshop, re-minting, they look at the quality of these new money and like it tightly.

"In this way, under the Ministry of Finance, I set up a money casting department, and opened a large smelting workshop in Weinan to make a money casting workshop, starting from the money in the treasury, the treasury, and the inner treasury, and starting next year, the new currency and new monetary policy will be issued throughout the country, and it will also be implemented simultaneously."

Sun Xiangfu had already communicated with Li Shimin about coinage before the last dynasty, if a large workshop was opened in the smelter for minting money, the copper coins that could be formed by pressing the press could be minted more than 200,000 yuan in one day, and gold and silver coins could be even more incalculable, and it would take two or three months to produce tens of millions of dollars worth of money for use in the market.

Moreover, not only Weinan will mint money, Shanyang, where coal prices and labor prices are relatively low, and Lingnan, which has relatively large reserves of gold and silver mines, will also send people from the money casting department to organize the minting of money in the past, and in terms of the gold, silver and copper that Datang now uses for currency, it will take about a year to replace all the money with new money, and it will expand the currency that can be circulated in the market by more than several times, because there is actually a lot of gold and silver in Datang now, and there is at least a lot of gold and silver worth more than 100 million yuan in Lingnan alone, and there is a large inflow in the Western Regions every year. There is no way, who calls that thing valuable, one or two silver is consistent, the silver that Lingnan pulled back from the Wa Kingdom, but it is all calculated according to the ship, a boat is thousands of stones, or even more than 10,000 stones, the gold transported over there to pay for the goods in the Western Regions, it is all carried by a camel caravan, a camel, can bring 400 catties of gold, how much does it cost?

After announcing this decision, Li Shimin seemed very excited, because Sun Xiangfu told him that once this monetary policy was implemented, the money minting department responsible for minting money could earn at least 10,000 miles of money to build a cement road.

Based on the price of 5 million guan for the Wang family to build a 2,000-mile cement road, that is to say, a coinage reform alone can earn 25 million guan.

Why is it making so much money?

Then I have to talk about why the coin sample that Sun Xiangfu brought back is so good-looking, and the group of people in Marseille who specialize in smelting in Happy Village started playing with alloys two or three years ago.

Moreover, after the implementation of this new numismatic system, it is equivalent to a kind of sanction against the Japanese country, which is rich in silver, and many countries rich in gold in the Western Regions.

Because, their silver, gold, in the Tang Dynasty can not be used as money, if you want to cast it into a coin that can be used in the Tang Dynasty, you have to find the official coinage, then, they should be taken care of by the people of the coinage, the Tang Dynasty can be free to cast money for their own people, but not to foreign countries, they do not have Tang money, they can't buy any goods in the Tang Dynasty, in this era when the world's goods are out of the Tang Dynasty, it is basically equivalent to trade is frozen.

Of course, they can also find some local forces, give them certain benefits, and let them take their gold and silver to the Minting Division to mint money, in this way, they will definitely be cut by the local forces of Datang, and the amount is large, and it is easy to be discovered.

The coinage factory, when minting money, will still earn them a little, just like Sun Xiangfu predicted before, back to the furnace to mint 300 million coins, the coinage division will almost earn more than 25 million yuan, close to a profit.

The matter of money is very sensitive, and a yamen like the Qian Si is destined to be a project that is in charge of Li Shimin's confidant minister, and the inner servants and secret guards are in control, and other courtiers can't intervene.

But now that Datang is on the rise, there are simply too many projects that everyone can talk about, and soon, a complete set of new rules for the bereavement of the fallen and even burials have been finalized and announced to the world.

Li Shimin not only agreed to the ultra-high pension plan proposed by Sun Xiangfu and others, but also decided to build a martyr's cemetery in Yushan and bury the bones of the fallen soldiers with higher courtesy, and stipulated that he and his descendants must go to the martyrs' cemetery every year to personally pay respects to these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

The names of their families will forever remain on the tombstones of the martyrs' cemetery, and they will also be worshiped by generations of emperors, what is there more glory than this?

All of a sudden, the people's voice of Li Shimin's praise of virtue rose again, and this momentum will create a very intuitive phenomenon, that is, the people are more harmonious.

This is the case in feudal society, the people feel that the emperor is good, and they are more willing to abide by the rules set by the emperor, including those who submit to the lords of the countries.

Therefore, even Li Shimin stipulated that children over the age of seven, regardless of gender, must be sent to county schools to begin basic education, and the people are also like clouds.

As for the lords of those small countries who surrendered, they ate well and lived well in Chang'an, and they had all kinds of strange tricks to watch, which were much more comfortable than their own one-third of an acre of land, Li Shimin left them to live in Chang'an for a few more days, and they agreed without thinking about it, Li Shimin let their children and grandchildren go to the country to study and learn Han culture, and they even raised their hands in agreement.

That's a great thing! If you learn the culture well, you will be able to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor wants to be an official for their descendants, which is a manifestation of not treating them as outsiders, so not to mention those young descendants, even adult princes like Ko Zhisheng, who were also newly awarded the title of Gaochang County Duke, stayed in Chang'an to study.

Moreover, there are many people who have only been awarded the title of county duke, county candidate level lord, directly request to settle in Chang'an, they are already reluctant to Chang'an's glory and wealth, here, not only eat well, dress well, play well, get sick, but also get timely treatment, many minor diseases, a moment of pills, you can see the good, this for them, it is simply amazing.

With such a living environment, they have no ambition and can't become a climate, why should they go back?

Of course, Li Shimin agreed to such an invitation, and gave these people who applied to stay a house and a certain number of third-class citizens as servants, so that they could directly become the hedonistic class with houses, servants and high salaries in Chang'an City.

Of course, it is not that they are completely useless, there are some local customs and customs they provide, and some information, as well as the suppression of identity, which is also beneficial to the government to manage the local area.

After saying this, Li Shimin made a decision on the new regulations on the official salary, simply put, that is, the officials of the Tang Dynasty are going to raise their salaries again, this time the range has reached 30%, and in the future, like the workers, there will be a steady increase in seniority wages, and the longer the officials who serve the imperial court, the higher the salary, and the living allowance of the intern officials has been doubled, reaching two yuan per month, and, A large number of probationary officers with acceptable performance have been regularized.

Zhenguan's three-year imperial examination, 5,000 people were selected at once, before due to the shortage of manpower, Fang Xuanling turned a batch, almost 1,000 people, Li Shimin this time, it was directly turned into more than 3,000 people, and the remaining hundreds of people either had too poor a table and were not suitable for being officials, or they had other ideas and were unwilling to take the official career.

Not to mention, some people in the industrial and commercial department have been appreciated by the proprietors of their respective internship industries, and have achieved middle and high-level management, but they may not be willing to go to the imperial court to be a petty official, they can easily obtain the status of first-class citizens, and the salary is much higher than that of the imperial court officials.

This action made the intern officials in the society suddenly empty, but with these more than 3,000 people, it is much easier for Datang to govern the surrounding areas.

At the same time, it also let the people of the whole world see the road of official career, and now it seems to be quite easy to walk, but in more than two years, there are so many people who were originally white, and even from the grassroots of the poor family, have become serious officials, which is great news for those poor children who have entered the county school in recent years!

This can only be said that they caught up with a good time for the rapid development of Datang, just like in later generations, many people caught the express train of reform and opening up, and soon achieved prosperity. ()
