Chapter 131 Even if there are millions, there is nothing to fear

There is a positive correlation between money and the economy. When the money supply increases, the price (interest rate) of money use decreases, and the increase in the money supply causes prices to rise, which promotes consumption. Growth in investment and consumption accelerates economic growth.

Now Datang's large-scale mining of copper ore is to increase the amount of money in circulation.

Even if Chen Ying is no longer a financial expert, he knows that once the amount of money increases, prices will inevitably rise, which is also a market law, and there is no way to reverse it.

Datang's coins are now in a serious state of shortage, based on Datang's gross domestic product, about 34.8 billion yuan (US dollars, belonging to the forum data, not necessarily accurate) accounting for 58% of the world's total, but the annual minting of copper coins in Datang is about 380,000 yuan, and the total amount of market currency is about 4.18 million guan (about 18 billion yuan).

The currency is insufficient, the deadly price is extremely cheap, and the price of money is extremely high. Moreover, copper products are significantly higher than copper coins themselves, which allows copper coins to be melted down by private individuals and cast into bronze objects for sale.

And the people who can save money, basically except for the nobles, are the clan gate valves, and these clan gate valves like to save money and put it underground. Although bronze ware appeared in China as early as the Xia Dynasty, and copper was used as currency in the Shang Dynasty, and since more than 2,000 years, successive dynasties have spared no effort to mine copper ore, however, copper is still not enough.

This is related to the fact that the Chinese have a sense of crisis, they are always prepared for disasters to come, and they can withstand disasters. As a result, the problem is very embarrassing, the speed of copper mining has never kept up with the speed of consumption. Moreover, ancient China was a world power, China's copper coins, not only widely used in China, but also the surrounding vassal countries used copper coins, especially Vietnam and North Korea, the copper coins of the past dynasties can be unearthed from time to time, and the number is not small.

Datang is now not only short of money in China, but also Jiannan Province, Annam, including Silla, Baekje and even the Wa Kingdom are all using Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao, which has added to the gap of Datang's copper coins.

As the so-called grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, the farmers of the Tang Dynasty are too hard, they work hard for a year, and the income is only about five times, of course, they are not like the farmers of later generations, who only have more than one mu of land per capita, but one hundred mu. Except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, there was nothing left.

With the development of the Duobaoshan copper mine, the problem of Datang's lack of money will be well solved. More and more money naturally creates inflation. With the release of a large number of copper coins on the market, prices began to increase significantly.

The most intuitive way of expressing grain has slowly increased from 5 wen per bucket to 30 wen per bucket, which has risen to six times. Food is the foundation of everything, the skyrocketing price of grain, so that the price of all walks of life has skyrocketed, for example, in the past, to raise a pig, you need to pay about 120 yuan, but now you need to pay a full 380 yuan, the same way, the price of pork has also begun to rise.

Unconsciously, the people of Datang were surprised to find that the money was still the same, but the things they bought were less than half of the original. For example, you can buy a calf for six times, and you can buy a strong cow for eight times, but now you need fifteen runs.

With the rise in prices, the original sense of superiority of officials has gradually disappeared, especially the petty officials of the nine grades, who only have 32 yuan, and now even the coachman who runs the transportation can easily earn 20 or 30 yuan a year.

This phenomenon, starting from Chang'an, has spread to the whole country. Li Xiuning, who was in Qiuzi, came back from the last market and said to Chen Ying worriedly: "Chen Lang, now it seems that there is an invisible big hand controlling the prices of Datang, and those officials of the City Yi Division are all derelict in their duties, and they should all be killed!" ”

When Chen Ying heard this, he laughed and said, "This is a good thing! ”

Li Xiuning was very puzzled.

The decline in the purchasing power of money is good for the country and for the community. Where do you usually save money, except for the landlord, that is, the family gatekeeper, the people who have money in their hands are rich people, and they save more and more money in their hands. Datang money is expensive, and their money is appreciating more and more.

At this time, the clan gate valve is like a vampire vine on the big tree of Datang, constantly sucking the blood of Datang. Once the peasants are overwhelmed and the class contradictions in the world are irreconcilable, another troubled era will appear.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Things are getting more and more expensive, and money is getting cheaper and cheaper, which is beneficial to the community?" ”

Listening to Chen Ying's ridiculous words, Li Xiuning immediately retorted: "It's really ridiculous. ”

Chen Ying said seriously: "Don't believe this. ”

Li Xiuning said: "How is this possible? ”

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Think about it, the more money their clan saves, the more they save, the more they will lose, if they continue to hide the money, it will only become a pile of useless scrap copper and rotten iron, so they have to take out the money, or buy a field, or buy a mansion, or take it out to open a workshop, or sell." ”

Chen Ying knew very well that these clan gate lords were thinking about crossing the Tang Tongli Money Village all the time, but Chen Ying would never let them succeed.

For a relatively period of time, Datang's threat only came from within, not from external factors.

Whether it was the Western Turks or Goguryeo, they could not threaten the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Jiancheng was very worried about Li Shimin's threat, Chen Ying knew that although Li Shimin had the foundation of the Fusang Continent, it would take more than ten years, or even longer, to threaten.

Li Shimin must first solve the keel problem of the battleship. Without a keel, the difficulty of building a large ship is very high.

Another factor, that is, the quality of the population, Chen Ying has always thought that Li Shimin's million-strong army is a joke.

Do savages fight?

At best, they are fighting between two villages over the issue of water.

Even though there are millions, why are they afraid?

Only the hidden danger of the clan gate valve, once it is not handled well, will make Datang fall into a place of no return.

Li Jiancheng began to exert full horsepower in terms of talent training, increasing the cultivation of poor talents, in fact, this is not a good prescription, although the family valve has such and such problems, but as aristocrats, they still have a sense of responsibility.

But the children of the poor family, once they hold the power, will release the devil in their hearts.

The consequences are also difficult to predict.

Chen Ying generously imparted financial management knowledge to Li Xiuning, which dispelled Li Xiuning's concerns.

However, in the news of the Tiger Yicong, Chen Ying also found an accident.

Just after Li Jiancheng put Cheng Zhijie under house arrest in Chang'an for more than nine months, Cheng Zhijie, who has been unusual, is very cooperative and honest, which makes the soldiers of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army, who are guarding Cheng Zhijie, gradually relax their vigilance.

Finally in the fifth year of Kaiyuan (the third day of the third lunar month), Li Jiancheng gave a banquet to Qujiang, and the civil and military officials and Cheng Zhijie were invited to participate in the banquet.

Li Anyan's angry Dasuo Chang'an City still did not find any trace of Cheng Zhijie.

At the same time, another Fusang Tang army raided the Qinglin outside Chang'an City, and robbed Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Tai and other children, but only the eldest grandson Wujian stayed.

The statement about the eldest grandson Wujian to the outside world is that because she is reconciling accounts in the treasury, the gangsters did not meet her.

Li Xiuning looked at the news and said very resentfully: "Chen Lang, what's the matter with the eldest grandson Wuji?" ”

Chen Ying said helplessly: "How do I know about this? ”
