Chapter 514: To enter Shangshu Province

Wu Jue said: "Lord Wang, if such institutions are opened all over the country and vouchers are issued to each other, there is no need to go to various places with so much money. It's safe, and it saves a lot of money. ”

Consistent Kaiyuan Tongbao weighs 6.4 pounds, what is the concept of 1,000 and 10,000? How many boxes to pack, how many wagons to pull?

The household department collects taxes, the army pays military salaries, merchants travel long distances, and officials transfer with a large amount of money.

That's not all, it's easy to get out of trouble on the way with so much money. Back then, Cheng bit the gold and robbed the emperor's bar, didn't he rob the military salary of the backer king Yang Lin on the road?

Wu Jue is worthy of being the top smart woman in the world, and she can actually think of the problem of paying in different places.

At this time, Gao Jingming and Du Xinyuan's thinking was completely opened, and they said everything they could think of. It is actually similar to the method of opening a bank in later generations.

Li You smiled: "Yes, that's what it means." Then, Li You popularized the organizational form and operation methods of the bank to the public.

Gao Jingming said very excitedly: "Your Highness, the minister will enter the palace with Lord Du and report to Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Guigui also understood, and he asked, "What do you call this institution?" ”

Everyone began to use their brains to come up with a name for this institution.

Li You smiled: "You guys, what are you doing with that brain?" Such a big thing can be said to be one of the most important measures to develop Datang's economy, should we take this name? ”

Gao Jingming patted his head and said, "Look, the minister is happy and confused, this name should be taken by His Majesty." ”

"yes, yes." Everyone agreed.

Only Xiao Qian pouted there, and said, "A group of sycophants." He asked, "Master Gao, what about the Ministry of Education's plan to run the school?" ”

Gao Jingming said: "Pass, I have absolutely no opinion." You can raise it tomorrow in the morning, and I strongly support it. ”

Xiao Qian smiled with satisfaction.

Gao Jingming solved two big problems at once today, and he couldn't sit still with excitement, he couldn't eat anymore, and he was in a hurry to report to Li Shimin.

Du Xinyuan was still thinking about another question, he asked; "Your Highness, how to solve the matter of private coinage?"

Li You smiled: "I won't talk about this issue today, and when you issue lottery tickets and set up this institution, there will be a way." ”

Gao Jingming and Du Xinyuan left, and Xiao Qian also left. Wu Yu's attention turned to Zhang Guigui's son again, and she was very envious, so she glanced at Li You with some dissatisfaction.

Li You instructed: "White Tiger, inform Baoqi and let him start producing special paper." ”

"Yes, lord." The white tiger went out to give orders.

Li You said to Wu Yu and Du Mei: "You go outside to play for a while, I have something to say to Precious Treasure." ”

After Wu Jue and the others left, Li You said: "Precious, I want to expand the special operations team, and I recommend you to be the commander." ”

After going through the affairs of the Western Regions and the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Li You felt that the special combat team was very easy to use, and such a force still had to be in the hands of his own people. Xue Rengui has left the special combat team, and at present, the special combat team is temporarily led by Zhou Qing.

Zhang Guigui said: "Okay, anyway, I don't have anything to do now. ”

……

In the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, the Great Food Empire and the Persian Empire in the northwest were fighting to the death, and they had no energy to find trouble with the Tang Dynasty; In the west, Tuyuhun was friendly with the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people in the southwest were not looking for trouble, the rebellion in Jiaozhi County in the south had been quelled by Duan Zhixuan, the traces of pirates in the east had disappeared, and in the northeast, the navy of the Tang Dynasty swept everything, and Goguryeo was rarely honest; On the northern grassland, the three major tribes were busy doing business with the Tang Dynasty, and no one made trouble.

The Tang Dynasty has entered a period of good peacebuilding.

Li You worked in the research institute all day long, but many important matters in the court had to come to Li You to solve, Li Shimin felt inconvenient, so he moved the idea of letting Li You go to the early court.

Liangyi Palace, study.

"Father, Wang Jue has sent news from the Japanese slave country." Li You said.

Li Shimin took the military report sent by Wang Jue, and after reading it, he handed it over to the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Hou Junji to read.

He looked at the map for a while and asked, "What will happen to the situation in the country of the Japanese slaves?" ”

Li You said: "Since the unification of the Japanese slave country, they have gradually alienated themselves from the Central Plains Dynasty, and after the reign of Prince Shotoku, they no longer pay tribute to the Sui Dynasty.

After the unification of the Japanese slave kingdom, the Otomo clan controlled the government in the imperial court, and was later replaced by the Monobe clan and the Soga clan, and later, the two families fought, and the Soga clan, who was in charge of finance, defeated the Monobe clan, who was in charge of the military, and has been in charge of the government until now.

Ototomi has already found out that the Takahashi family, who are now on Kyushu Island, are the descendants of the Monobe clan, and they are old enemies of the Soga clan that is currently in power.

At present, with the help of the Tang Navy, the Takahashi family has basically unified the island of Kyushu, where Wang Xuance is instigating their independence, provoking a civil war between the Japanese slaves, and completely weakening their strength.

Erchen has reached an agreement with the Takahashi family to support them to establish an independent state, and the ministers belong to the Tang Dynasty after the founding of the country. With the containment of this vassal state, the Japanese slave state basically lost its influence on the Korean Peninsula. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "After these years of hard work, the situation around Datang has been unprecedentedly stable, and the policy of calming the people can be implemented smoothly. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, the imperial court has vigorously developed industry and commerce, the financial income of the imperial court has increased significantly, and the living standards of the people have also been greatly improved. The minister held that continuing to expand the development of industry and commerce is a correct direction for enhancing national strength.

However, the minister was not very familiar with how to develop industry and commerce, and he had a feeling that he was unable to do so. The minister suggested that His Royal Highness the King of Qi should go to the court and walk in Shangshu Province in order to guide the development of industry and commerce. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the minister also feels the same way. Recently, the lottery and money bank engaged in by the household department are all new things, and they are also the ideas of His Royal Highness King Qi. It was this idea that solved the bottleneck of economic development, and the ministers could not come up with such an idea.

The minister agreed with Lord Fang Xuanling's opinion and asked His Royal Highness King Qi to come down and participate in the court politics. ”

Hou Junji naturally has no opinion, after he entered Shangshu Province, he came into contact with Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji every day, facing these two old foxes, he felt a little difficult, he needed Li You too much to give him guidance.

He said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the opinions of Lord Fang and Lord Changsun. ”

Li You was very depressed about their proposal, he stayed well in the research institute, he was late and left early, what he wanted.

If you come here and work with these old guys, you will inevitably have to fight every day, which is really boring.

Also, he didn't want Li Chengqian to feel pressured. He just wanted to hide behind Li Chengqian's back and give him ideas, and if he came to Shangshu Province and directly participated in politics, it would inevitably be embarrassing for Li Chengqian.

He hurriedly excused himself and said: "Father, the son is not familiar with the major affairs of the imperial court, and it is the strength of the son to make some scientific inventions in the research institute, or can he play a greater role in the research institute."

If there is something in the court that needs the minister, the minister will come up with an idea for everyone's reference. Come to Shangshu Province to work, forget it. ”

As Fang Xuanling said, Datang has entered an era of peaceful development in an all-round way, and the experience accumulated by Li Shimin and others is no longer enough. How to do a good job in the economy, they are all laymen. Now almost all major decisions have Li You's suggestions.

Li Shimin has a lot of things to discuss with Li You, and he has long come up with the idea of letting Li You go to court.

He said: "All Aiqing are reasonable, I decided to adopt Fang Xuanling's opinion and let Li You walk in Shang Shu's room. ”

After speaking, he said to Li You: "Li You, the king of Qi, listened to the order, and from today onwards, he will go to Shangshufang to walk and assist Shangshu Province in formulating economic development policies. Chin this. ”

"Huh?" Li You was full of depression.
