Liu Yan's third question is really difficult, if it is private minting that will lead to currency counterfeiting, then private financing can directly make the currency tighten, that is, the most painful "money shortage" in medieval society.

Whether it is an official or a common person, as long as they gather the copper coins in hand, they can get 20 catties of copper by melting the money, which can be used to mint bronze or recast other coins, and they can make a profit of three times or more by using the difference between different coins.

So Gao Yue simply said, "There are three laws. ”

At this time, Liu Yan's eyes also began to flicker, so he said which three methods? "Isn't it the money restriction law and the copper ban law?"

Liu Yan's money restriction law and copper ban law are the government's intervention to strictly prohibit officials from hiding too many copper coins privately, and heavy fines will be imposed if they exceed the limit, and the copper ban law is better understood, directly prohibiting the circulation of copper on the market.

Gao Yue shook his head and said that the two methods that Yan Xiang said were only one of the "three methods" in his later life.

"Oooh!" Liu Yan touched his beard with great interest.

"Yan Xiang set up patrol courts and salt yards in key places in various places, just to arrest smuggled salt dealers, so it is advisable to set up special supervision institutes in the mining and metallurgy and casting furnaces of various states, on the one hand, to collect gold, silver, copper and tin, and on the other hand, to set up cards on the river and land roads, and to collect heavy taxes on past copperware, which can make up for the cost of coinage, and can also curb the wind of private melting, this law is also;

In addition, now I Tang line three money, that is, Kaiyuan money, dry yuan money and heavy wheel money, is actually the cause of the chaos of the currency system, private melting, please Yan Xiang to implement the law, only one money, ban the circulation of the other two money, once the currency system is unified, and then supplemented by the order of limiting money and prohibiting copper, the wind of private melting can also go to its too half, these two laws also. Respectfully. ”

Liu Yan bowed his head, but he still made progress and asked: "Lang Jun's policy, although it can't return the capital and interest of minting money to the time of opening the sky, but it is still possible to make and cost each other. ”

"Yes."

"Can you give me advice?"

"You can save and merge the world's Buddhist temples, prohibit the destruction of Buddhism, return fertile land, destroy water, and waste temples, Jialan, bronze statues, floating temples, bell chimes, bronze coins, iron cast as agricultural tools and weapons." As soon as Gao Yue said this, even Liu Yan was shocked, and couldn't help but ask Gao Yue not to say any more.

At this time, the sound of rain outside the Pingkangfang Jinwu patrol shop seemed to have thinned out.

Several of the Jingo disciples had drunk enough wine, roasted on the warm fire, and lay on the ground and fell asleep.

However, Liu Yan's policy is still two questions, "Four questions, since the beginning of the world, the copyright has been corrupted, the displaced people have not been found, and the country's military resources depend on the merchants. Now should we focus on business or suppress business, can I ask Lang Jun to make it clear? ”

Gao Yue replied, "Merchants and merchants all benefit from the cultivation of goods, and the state should not equate the taxes of merchants with the people, and turn to the monopoly of tea, wine, iron and salt, and the taxes of Mo, Guanjin Daicheng, and Waiyi City, which will be ten times that of the past." Respectfully. ”

It turns out that Gao Yue meant that in the early and middle Tang Dynasty, the so-called "endowing merchants with merchants and suppressing the business of laziness" was to raise the tax of merchants to make them twice as large as ordinary people, and there was little taxation in the circulation of merchants' goods, which was caused by the fact that policymakers did not understand the laws of business operation at that time - Gao Yue meant that the original "tax merchants" were changed to "commercial taxes", focusing on tax collection in the commercial behavior itself, and changing direct taxes to indirect taxes.

Hearing this, Liu Yan quickly understood, and then he asked the fifth question very solemnly, "Ask, now I have the Western Domain, Huifu, Nanzhao and other foreign Yi Bubin outside the Tang Dynasty, and there are Heshuo, Huaixi, Ziqing, Xianghan and other Fang towns and ministers, in the past, Yuan Zai had offered the strategy of 'first west and then east' and 'outside and inside', that is, to build a city in Yuanzhou and build a government in the river, first destroy the Western Domain, restore the land of Longyou and Anxi, and then rely on the momentum of Guanzhong to re-establish the building, sweep eastward, flatten the towns of Zhubu Chenfang, and then recreate a unified mountain and river, let Lang Jun have any views on Yuan Zai's policy? ”

Good guy, Liu Yan deliberately took out Yuan Zai's last policy and asked the right one, this is obviously a hidden needle in the cotton, and he intends to test me...... If I say that what Yuan Zai said is wrong, Liu Yan will definitely say that I am nonsense because of others; If I agree with Yuan Zai's last policy, I'm afraid that Liu Yan will criticize it again.

MMp, this line of volumes is several times more difficult than "The Legend of the Orphan Girl", "The Story of the Gourd", "The Story of Dongying Sadako", and "The Collection of Suspicious Cases in Huaibei"!

But fortunately, when he went to visit Xiao Xin and stayed in Nanyuan, Gao Yue had asked Xiao Xin in detail about such questions, and had already heard and absorbed Xiao Sanqi's extremely valuable "life experience", and of course he was very familiar with this fundamental national policy, and let me talk about it slowly.

"Yan Xiang, Yuan Zai's policy is right and wrong. Right is fundamental, wrong is strategy. Now Fang Zhen is dominant, but each has a place, the imperial court is a thorn if it is cut, if it is temporarily appeased, it is scattered like gravel, and the imperial court such as the Western Domain, Fanyang, Heshuo three towns, Huaixi Ziqing, etc. have to send troops to follow the imperial court, once the river is reopened, the Western Domain, Longyou, the Western Regions are back to the state, you can increase taxes, you can herd good horses, you can expand the soldiers, and over time, the remaining towns below are not enough to worry about. However, to build a city in Yuanzhou, the road is too far, and the armies in Jingyuan and other places have already settled, and then perform labor, I am afraid of accidents. According to the humble opinion of the late life, you can first choose an important place near Jingyuan, draw the camp of Jingyuan, and build the city on behalf of the Shence army, and then choose one or two ministers to defend the town after the success, get rid of the maladministration of the border army, and train the troops, so that after three years, you can defend like a rock, after five years, you can slowly counterattack, and after ten years, you can achieve great results. Zi said, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, Yuanzhou builds a city, you can't be frivolous, you can't be impatient, and you must operate for a long time to be a good policy. Respectfully. ”

Gao Yue's opinion on Yuan Zai's legacy strategy is that he recognizes his grand strategy, but does not approve of the specific tactics of rushing to build a city in Yuanzhou, which is too eager to achieve results, and he believes that he should be more hasty and patient, and first establish a foothold in the Jingyuan area in order to plan for the long term.

Liu Yan nodded again and again, but then he looked at Gao Yue and raised his voice, "If one day, the people of Xiaoyangshan will be on the road again, the wooden slip will be replaced by an elephant wat, and the green robe will be replaced by Zhu Zi, and he will ascend to the main office of the Xuanzheng Palace, and enter the Yanying Hall to ask the right, he wants to inherit Yuan Zai's legacy, and he is eager to build a city in Yuanzhou, and the ministers will echo it, and the holy lord will approve it." Gao Langjun's insight, do you dare to say it in front of Xiaoyangshan? ”

"Don't dare!" Gao Yue replied loudly and neatly.

Seeing Gao Yue's appearance, Liu Yan finally couldn't help it, and laughed on his back, "Gao Langjun, you are really a frank person. ”

Then Liu Yan took out a corner of the steel hammer that Gao Yue gave him, "Actually, my biggest doubt is that Lang Jun's few strange coins. ”

Gao Yue raised his eyes to take a look, and then scolded himself in his heart, he was so hungry that he was a ghost, and he hurriedly gave a few steel hammers to Liu Yan: now the steel hammer in Liu Yan's hand is clearly engraved with the words "People's Bank of China" on the front, and a brilliant chrysanthemum in full bloom on the back......

How can this be explained?
