This night was very exciting for Cheng Chuliang, and so was Changsun Lian, because he and Cheng Chuliang's boatload of porcelain was sold.

And it's not just that it was sold, the porcelain that they boasted as 500 catties of gold was actually only used for 4,000 yuan, most of which were purchased from the private sector, and only some of them were fine porcelain from official kilns.

And in this operation, they got 2,000 catties of gold and 5,000 catties of silver.

The value of silver is not easy to calculate now, but the value of gold is easy to calculate, according to the proportion of one or two gold can be exchanged for ten yuan, then a pound of gold is one hundred and sixty yuan, and in ancient times it was one pound and sixteen taels, so as the saying goes, half a catty and eight taels is what it means.

So how much is 2,000 catties of gold? It is equivalent to 320,000 guan, and the cost is only 4,000 guan, and the value of 5,000 catties of silver is not counted, this profit is ......

"Your Highness, when Jin Baijing hands over the money, I will return to the court immediately, and bring a few more ships back this time!" Cheng Chuliang was so excited that he couldn't jump up, huge profits, proper profits, where to find such a good business in Datang?

Besides, he didn't dare to do business in this way in Datang, it was still good on the peninsula, and even coaxed and deceived, and people didn't even dare to resist.

"I will definitely go back, but this matter is almost over, don't catch one of the wool, so I can keep some for the king!" Li Yuanjing smiled.

"Hehe, divide your points, I am in charge of this matter, and I will give you 10,000 yuan......" Cheng Chuliang said shyly.

"This king sent you ten thousand?" Li Yuanjing glanced angrily, this king took you to make a net profit of more than 300,000 guan, which is worth 10,000 guan? To put it mildly, the taxes to be handed over to the imperial court are more than 10,000 yuan.

"Your Highness, I really can't figure out what to do to keep the Kim family from falling and Goguryeo and Baekje not dare to set foot in Silla?" The eldest grandson was excited, but he was not as open-minded as Cheng Chuliang, and what he thought about most was how to operate this matter.

To tell the truth, with Changsun Lian's current ability and thinking, he felt that they had played a bit big in this matter anyway.

And after this behavior was reported back to the imperial court, hehe, it was predictable that a whole bunch of trolls were coming towards them......

"The method is actually very simple......" Li Yuanjing smiled slightly mysteriously and didn't say much.

The next day, Jin Baijing wept bitterly in front of Li Yuanjing in the manner that Chen Guo had explained to him last night, and put all the responsibility for the war on Goguryeo.

Anyway, the two countries are dog-eat-dog, and no one is a good thing, but Li Yuanjing doesn't care at all, it's all a regular routine, nothing unusual.

Li Yuanjing was reserved for a while and didn't say anything more, so he let go of Jin Baijing, and faintly revealed that he still had a lot of cloth with him, if he was satisfied, maybe he could go to Goguryeo to find their troubles next.

After the matter was discussed, Cheng Chuliang appeared again and said a few good words for Chen Guo, and Li Yuanjing seemed to take care of Cheng Chuliang's face and released Chen Guo.

A few people were stunned for a moment by bluffing the gold, what should they do if the small treasury ran out of money? Ask the minister to raise money.

In fact, the three peninsulars are not too short in terms of these resources, the most lacking is Baekje, almost nothing, Goguryeo gold, silver, copper, and a lot of them, and Silla is a little less, but there are a lot.

At present, the monetary system they adopt is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, which is mainly based on copper coins, gold and silver are some luxury goods, and there are mines, but in order to ensure the value, there is no large amount of mining, but these nobles still have a lot in their hands, and they also like to use gold and silver to settle some large transactions, after all, it is very convenient.

As for how they PY Li Yuanjing doesn't know, anyway, ten days later, Jin Baijing sent a large amount of gold and silver, of which the gold for Li Yuanjing was also increased to 1,000 catties, this is a meeting gift.

In this way, most of the crew and all the goods disembarked and landed, and stayed here with Li Yuanjing, while Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Jian returned to China with eight thousand-stone sea ships and two five-hundred-stone troop carriers, and they needed to transport these gold and silver property back and replenish the goods at the same time.

In the days when Cheng Chuliang and the eldest grandson returned to the dynasty, the Fang Yiai who stayed behind completely experienced what it was like to be called a king.

Although he was ordered not to leave the barracks, he couldn't stand Jin Baijing's blind flattery, since he revealed his idea of what he wanted, Jin Baijing changed his tricks to send people to the barracks, and he didn't come in directly, he sent a group of people every few days.

Originally, Fang Xuanling felt that the peninsula was very poor, and luxury goods would not be too easy to sell, so Fang Yiai became a grocery store owner, and his ship had all the goods, all of which were not expensive but necessities.

Of course, Fang Yi's love is cool, but the two brothers who embarked on the way home are not having a good time, for no other reason, and they deviated again......

The most depressed thing is Ren Zhixing, the yaw when he went can be understood, but when he comes back, the yaw is biased, and some of his mother sells it.

They have been walking in the direction of nine o'clock according to Li Yuanjing's requirements, and if there is no yaw, their destination should be the Qingzhou area, but the ship walked on the sea for nearly five days before seeing the land, but when they docked and asked, what is special here is Henan Road, Haizhou!

At this time, even Ren Zhixing was a little suspicious of life, and looking at the nautical chart he had drawn, he felt more and more as if he was wrong.

But even if it's wrong, there is no way, life still has to be lived, and he still has to find a way to improve, verify, and find a solution.

Cheng Chuliang landed directly in Haizhou with dozens of soldiers, and after a short rest, he borrowed horses from the Haizhou military camp and went all the way west to Chang'an.

The other way was led by the eldest grandson, and he still returned the same way, first went to Yangzhou, and then changed ships there, and escorted the gold and silver back to Chang'an, with a list of goods and everything, and left a few henchmen to help buy it.

Of course, during this time, the fleet was not idle, but asked around to see how to ensure that the ship stopped at sea and did not move, and if this problem was not solved, they would never be able to solve the problem of yaw, although the direction could be guaranteed, but their position was wrong, what did it matter to ensure the direction?

Chang'an, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study!

In the past few months, Li Shimin has become accustomed to summoning several ministers in the afternoon to discuss matters.

More than two months ago, the batch of treasury bonds issued by Qianzhuang responded very well, and they were sold out in just ten days, although the money is not much, but this is a test of the imperial court, of course, nearly half of them were actually bought by the imperial court officials, otherwise no one will buy the treasury bonds at that time, how embarrassing should the imperial court be?

There are already voices among the people who hope that the imperial court will issue another batch of treasury bonds, because the interest rate is really high, and the money bank also carried out the first real interest settlement after the year, and everyone got the interest promised before, and after this expected run, the reputation of the money bank was instantly recognized by the people, and more and more people came to deposit money in the past two months.

But saving more money does not mean that the imperial court has solved the current situation of lack of money, the biggest reason is that there is no money, lack of copper, this is the most fatal, so the matter of currency reform is also on the agenda, but the production of gold and silver in the Tang Dynasty is not high, and it cannot meet the demand at all, so during this time, Li Shimin is to discuss with the minister to see if he can find something else to replace gold and silver?

Two months have passed, and there are no eyebrows, and to be used as money, it must first be rare, not a rotten street, and the court must have enough reserves in its hands.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice came from outside the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Su Guogong took Cheng Ergongzi to ask to see ...... outside the palace."
