Chapter 792: To Each His Own Mind

"Governor, could it be that the Tang people really plan to invade Nanzhao?"

Hearing the meaning of Duan Baolong's words, the generals under his command were a little surprised.

"I really can't guarantee this, otherwise what would the Tang army be doing in the Jianchang Governor's Mansion?" Duan Baolong shook his head.

He thought of the man he met in Chengdu Mansion again, and the other party had now become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

With the temper of the other party, he may really take advantage of the civil strife in Nanzhao to meddle in the political situation of Nanzhao.

He was also a little puzzled why Shun Huazhen would send someone to Chang'an for help, didn't this lead the wolf into the house?

Although Duan Baolong nominally surrendered to Datang at this time, he has been staying in the Huichuan Governor's Mansion, and he doesn't know much about the situation in Datang.

Duan Baolong is guarding against the Tang Army, and Datang is not guarding against Duan Baolong.

Duan Baolong didn't know that the Tang Dynasty was already carrying out various military transfers, provoking grain and grass, and training the army, but Wang Jian, the governor of Zhennan, was very clear.

Including the transfer of Zuo Wuwei to the south, and the expansion of the two forbidden armies began to restore the wartime establishment.

And according to his information, it is very likely that the Shenji Battalion will also send troops to participate in the war, but whether it will really be sent and how much, he is not sure yet.

All this can show that the imperial court is already preparing for the war against Nanzhao.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, why are you interested in these things?"

Hubu, when he learned that the pious king Li Yu had arrived, Li Yu was still a little surprised.

Although he said that the saint greeted him, he didn't expect that Li Yu would really come to him for advice.

Although this pious king has no possibility of inheriting the unification, but after all, he is a prince, and Li Mi also knows that even if the other party has something to ask, he can neither refuse nor meet in the palace, and only in this household official office can he appear open.

This king also discovered this problem by accident, and felt that a large number of copper coins were not conducive to the trade of goods. This king also had a fold to his father, and his father said that the household department was more familiar with this, so he asked this king to come and ask for advice. Li Yu's attitude was very low, and he didn't put it on the shelf of the prince.

"Since His Royal Highness is interested, the ministers will also know everything." Li Mi said politely.

"Scholar Li, a fledgling person like this king can think of this, didn't the household department think of it? The annual tax is tens of millions, and if it is all copper coins, wouldn't it be that the household department has to build a large treasury to pile up.

Isn't it troublesome? Li Yu said curiously.

"The trouble is certain, but there is no good way to solve it at present, is it possible that His Royal Highness King Qian has a good idea?" Li Mi's words were somewhat reserved.

The household must have its own way, but there is no need to tell the king, and there is no obligation.

Even if King Qian is the crown prince, he will not stand out together, after all, it is the saints who are in charge now, not these princes.

Ben Wang felt that it could be solved with a paper certificate. For example, if a scholar needs to buy goods and brings a few thousand yuan of money, which is inconvenient to carry, he can hand it over to the shop opened by the king for safekeeping, and the king's shop will issue a paper certificate to the scholar.

If Mr. Lee buys the goods, he can use the voucher to come to the king's shop to withdraw the money he needs.

Wouldn't this solve the problem of carrying copper coins? Li Yu asked expectantly.

This method was not conceived by Li Yu, but Li Ye annotated some key points on his recital, and Li Yu comprehended it according to these annotations.

Li Mi was a little surprised, "His Royal Highness King Qian's idea is peculiar, but there are also some problems. ”

Hearing that there was a problem, Li Yu hurriedly asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”88

"Don't blame His Royal Highness, the minister did think of a few questions." Li Mi confessed.

"Scholar Lee, please speak."

"What His Royal Highness King Qian said may be flying money or white deerskin coins, which are suitable for large-scale goods transactions, but they are not widely used.

As for the questions, there are several points: First, if His Highness opened such a shop, how can people trust His Highness's shop to be trustworthy and exchange the money on the voucher?

Second, how does His Highness's shop ensure that the voucher is not forged? If someone comes to exchange a forged voucher, how can His Highness's shop distinguish it?

Third, how can shops make profits? You can't help people keep their money for free, instead of collecting fees, right? If so, how much?

If Your Highness really has ideas, you can go back and think about some of these questions. Don't do things that damage your Highness's identity because of impulse. Li Mi reminded.

"Thank you Scholar Li for your teaching, this king must keep it in mind."

Looking at Li Yu who was leaving, the subordinate members next to him were a little puzzled, "How did the scholar tell His Royal Highness King Qian about these things?" If it is spread that the scholar and the king of Qian have a close personal relationship, won't it annoy the prince and the king of Di. ”

Li Mi shook his head, "You are still too young, and you don't look at the fact that His Royal Highness King Qian was called here today." ”

Li Mi didn't say much, and went straight back to his office room.

Befriending the Pious King?

Unless he is crazy, even if it is the crown prince and the king of piety, he will not bother now.

A few milky princes, the saint is still young, why should he bother to befriend these princes. To put it mildly, the saint doesn't know how long he can be the emperor, and it is not certain that any of these princes will have the last laugh.

Forming a good relationship, not offending, and not deliberately falling to anyone, this is an important reason for gaining the trust of the saints.

And the matter of this paper certificate was mentioned to himself by the saint before. At that time, the saint said that paper money would replace copper coins and silk cloth, and he thought it was a fantasy at the time, after all, no one could accept a piece of paper.

However, looking at the meaning of the saint now, it is obvious that he intends to let the pious king try it.

The saint has this plan, and he also pushes the boat along the river, and makes the key points clear, whether it is successful or not, then it is none of his business.

Now that King Qian is also here, it seems that he has to go into the palace to report it.

Although King Qian is a prince, there are 10,000 acres of Yongye field.

However, the annual grain income of 10,000 acres of Yongye field is only a few thousand.

For ordinary families, it is not an exaggeration to say that 1,000 yuan is a huge amount of money, and the purchasing power is worth more than 10 million in later generations.

But for Li Yu, who needs to raise a huge palace, it is enough, and it is enough; It's not enough, it's not enough.

Anyway, with Li Yu's character, he won't be too rich.

So he was very interested in opening this so-called money bank, and began to plan.

Regarding this matter, Li Ye also heard the report of the people below, and laughed directly, let this third child toss to see if he can toss tricks.

Just as Li Mi was worried before, the acceptance of paper money by merchants and civilians is very low, and flying money is not suitable for public circulation.

Li Yu tossed a few times, maybe he would toss a good result, but not necessarily.

While Li Yu's side was focused on making money, Longteng's side followed the caravan back to Yang Tho City, the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
