Chapter 779: The Lifeblood of the Economy
Half a month later.
In the royal palace of the Kingdom of Qiuzi, some currency styles are placed on the table.
It's just been cast, and it's still very new.
However, these currencies are not the same as Kaiyuan Tongbao, and they are also different from Datang copper coins.
This is some Western currency.
Gold Soridus, bronze Numum, Persian silver, Egyptian gold.
Su Dingfang looked at these samples, and his heart was very entangled.
Then, he said, "Your Highness, do you really want to put these coins in the Western countries?" ”
"Of course!" Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said, "These are all money, although ...... Kindness...... Although it was a little bit worse. But I should be able to buy a lot of things, I Datang lacks everything, but I am not short of money. ”
When Su Dingfang heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
These coins are not only bad, but simply poor.
Can you believe that a gold coin that looks beautiful is made of copper? Copper coins are no longer copper coins, but bronze coins, and bronze coins are counted as iron cores.
What's even more outrageous is that the thumb-sized silver coin is filled with stones, which is simply indiscriminate!
The appearance is very beautiful, very beautiful, like a work of art.
However, the core is indiscriminate.
Jin Yu is also ruined on the outside!
Su Dingfang finally understood why His Highness did not let this kind of coin circulate in Datang, and why did it not rough the currency expressed by Datang to circulate in the West.
This kind of thing has been going on for a long time, and it will definitely lead to rising prices, and the people will not have a good life, and by the time the other party finds out, the country will already be in chaos.
The end result of bad money driving out good money is economic collapse and people cannot eat.
And this black cauldron is naturally carried by Xiqin and other countries, who let the circulation of your country's currency?
This kind of situation has also appeared at some time, it was originally a copper coin, but it turned out that too much iron was added to it, and it became a bad coin, and what was originally ten cents became more than ten cents.
Then, there are more and more goods, and the people earn less and less, and there is no way to buy things, and then inflation ...... The consequences are severe.
Su Dingfang couldn't help but look at Li Tai, and sighed secretly: "Speaking of insidiousness, even those ministers in the court are not as insidious as His Royal Highness, it seems that he is determined to win the ninety-five position." ”
"This matter, originally I wanted Yu En to do it, but that guy is obviously too honest to do this well, so I think you are very good" Li Tai showed an extremely bright smile on his face and said: "This matter, leave it to you, I don't worry." ”
"However, don't let that guy Zhong Kui know, that guy is too upright, knowing these things, he will definitely be able to squirt you to the ground." Li Tai cautiously admonished.
Zhong Kui, it's too straight.
Straight men of steel are not as straight as him.
It is estimated that only Bao Qingtian in later generations can be compared with him, and let Su Dingfang do these dirty things.
"Your Highness, I am absolutely unaware of what I am doing at this time, even if I know, no one will suspect us." Su Dingfang said.
This guy is not honest either.
"Don't worry, if you want to conquer the western countries in the future, there will definitely be your marshal all the way." Li Tai patted Su Dingfang on the shoulder and said, Anyway, what was promised in these years may not be able to be realized.
And even if he cheats, he can't do anything about me.
However, Su Dingfang was very happy when he heard this. First use counterfeit money to disrupt their economy and weaken their strength, and then when the Tang Dynasty army is together, how can the Western countries not surrender?
Your Highness is so calculating!
"Your Highness, I have found that if some tin is added to the white copper, it can become similar to silver, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference." Su Dingfang said with a smile.
"Oh? In this way, you are credited with a great credit! By the way, you haven't married a wife yet, have you? It's okay, even if you get married, it doesn't matter, five years later, I will tell my father, my grandfather still has quite a lot of daughters, if it doesn't work, I will find a princess from my Longxi Li clan to marry you. Li Tai's eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to turn the world's outstanding people into sons-in-law of the old Li family.
Now, the Li family in Longxi can be respected by Li Yuan, the emperor is the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi, who dares to say that the old Li family is not the authentic Li family in Longxi?
The legs of the literati's little girl, whether they are good or bad, are up to them, and when you control a certain literati, the whole world is up to you.
It's okay if the really smells.
"By the way, when choosing a caravan, try to use some Western faces, their families should all be from the country of Qiuzi, and let the bad people join them when they go, so that we can spy on the situation of various countries in order to plot later."
"Moreover, you have stepped up your training here and increased your troops, and I think you will be useful soon." Li Tai's smile was a little mysterious.
Wealth is moving, whether it is in the Western Regions or Western Qin.
There are a lot of troops, which is still very good.
"We can't stop in terms of ideological education." Li Tai thought for a while and said.
“……”
……
Now.
The Tang Dynasty's recovery of the Western Regions also began to spread.
The newspapers have all been published, and even illiterate people know about the Western Regions.
"Have you heard? I, the Marshal of the Tang Dynasty, went straight to the Western Regions, and now I want to meet in Xiaowan City. ”
"Where is this Xiaowan City?"
"This Xiaowan City, originally the ancient city of the Yue clan to build the Great Wan Kingdom, Wei Wangtai felt that this Great Wan City was not worthy of big characters, so it was directly changed to Xiao Wan City, it is said that in the future, the whole country of the world, as long as I use big characters in the Tang Dynasty."
"This Wei Wangtai is really domineering."
"It's not just domineering, it's simply unreasonable, but this unreasonableness makes our people very happy."
"Exactly, a small subject country dares to be big, it's just Yelang arrogant!"
“……”
In a wine shop, a group of scholars talked.
talked about the conquest of the Western Regions by Li Tai, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong in three ways, which is the hottest thing in the entire Tang Dynasty recently.
The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and everyone is also honored.
"It's really boosting my Tang morale, that's how it should be!"
"This Western Regions was originally our Datang's, and now it's best to return."
"Since the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions have once again become part of my China!"
"Not long after, the four counties of Han have also returned."
"I've heard that this time we will set up counties and send officials to manage them, just like the Central Plains."
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be."
“……”
When Chang'an City was extremely lively, the countries in the Western Regions to the west were not as happy as the Tang people.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty's recovery of the Western Regions is not a good thing for them.
Because, so the realm of Datang is too close to them, and a giant dragon is watching you from the side, how can you sleep peacefully?
Many small countries are trembling and trembling, for fear that the Tang Dynasty will go all the way west and destroy themselves.
