Han Xizai is considered to have entered the state, and the affairs of Yushitai are almost settled, he came to visit Ye Hua, and wanted to talk about the matter of supervising Juntian, by the way, he returned smoothly from the south, and Chen Shu's help was inseparable, Han Xizai wanted to meet Chen Tuan and talk about friendship.

Who knew that he had met Li Gu and a lot of fake copper coins, how smart Han Xizai was, he instantly figured out Li Gu's plan.

Suddenly angry, the embarrassment that he had once threw out of the clouds.

"Li Gu, if you make fake money and steal huge profits, aren't you afraid of going to hell?"

Li Gu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "The money made by the old man is genuine, and it is made of fine copper, which is enough for two catties, what do I have to go to hell?" On the contrary, it's you, treacherous, without an old man, can you return to the Central Plains? As soon as you became the middle of the imperial history, you framed the old man and asked yourself, are you worthy of your conscience? ”

"Those who are clean are self-purifying, those who are turbid are self-turbid, you are corrupt, who is to blame?"

"Who's greedy?" Li Gu's voice was an octave higher, "The old man is dedicated to managing the country's finances, you don't understand anything, and you dare to talk nonsense, villain, full villain!" ”

……

These two people are so polite that they scolded me so much that when they were young, they even turned out the matter of drinking flowers and wine and not giving money, their necks were thick and their faces were red, and they were not polite at all.

Ye Hua's head was big when he heard it.

"Then you two don't quarrel yet." Ye Hua said: "The sage asked me to recommend the two princes, I mean let the two of you take it, how about it?" ”

"Prince?"

Both of them became interested and asked together, "Why did you choose us?" ”

Ye Hua said: "Han Xianggong has learned people, is familiar with the situation in Jiangnan, has seen people, and is honest and ethical, all of which are the best choices." ”

Hearing Ye Hua's comment, Han Xizai couldn't help but straighten his waist, but his face was still very reserved, "It's just my duty, Hou Ye praised it." ”

"As for Lee Sang-ko? Someone impeached you for improper employment, it is estimated that the three envoys will not be able to do it, do you want to be demoted out of the capital, take over the passage to appease the envoys, or stay in the capital, be aggrieved, and be a prince master? ”

Li Guren is old and refined, he can guess that the emperor has murderous intentions, even if he has a way to make up for the shortfall, don't think about retreating, and go to the three envoys, he can already steal the fun.

It's just that the emperor can let him go, but the scholars can't let him go.

After leaving the capital, he is a piece of meat to be slaughtered, and the civil officials have a way to toss him, transfer you to Chenzhou today, transfer you to Youzhou tomorrow, and then transfer to Luoyang...... It's just tossing all over the world, and people with copper skin and iron bones can't stand it, not to mention that an old man who is over the age of sixties, it won't take long for him to toss you to death, or the kind of guest death in a foreign land, so miserable that you don't want it!

He must not leave the capital, but he is already a planner, he can't go up or down, and there is no place in the capital at all...... After calculating it, there is only one way left to run to Ye Hua's side and be a master for the prince.

Although the prince master only has five grades, which is far smaller than Jingluo's appeasement, but he is on the big tree of the prince, and idlers dare not tear their faces with him.

Even if Li Gu saved his life, he even retained the chance to make a comeback.

Frankly speaking, Ye Hua's arrangement is interesting enough.

At the beginning, he said that he wanted to pull Li Gu a hand, and he did it. minted counterfeit coins, eliminated the emperor's anger, came to teach the prince, and retained a piece of incense.

If Li Gu lives long enough, he can even have a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback.

In this deceitful officialdom, even if it is a close relative or friend, it may not be able to do this, Ye Hua is a kind person! After going through ups and downs, Li Gu finally saw through.

"Hou Ye is noble, the old decay is engraved in his heart, when a cow is a horse, and the grass is tied to the ring......"

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Li Xianggong, let's still focus on official business, teach the prince, and deal with the matter of coins, you can't make the slightest mistake." ”

Li Gu nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, the old man understands!" ”

When he said this, Han Xizai didn't agree.

"Master Hou, I have something to say."

Ye Hua already knew, and smiled slightly, "Han Zhongcheng, you can't bear to let the creatures in Jiangnan be ransacked?" ”

Han Xizai nodded, "Master Hou, it's true that I am from Changli, but I have lived in Jiangnan for decades...... I wrote to Li Hongji, hoping to follow the example of the Central Plains and implement the Juntian ...... However, he refused to listen, and I returned to the Central Plains. If according to the meaning of this old thief, the people of Jiangnan will be looted again, and they will have no way to make a living...... Li Gu! Han Xizai snorted, "You are also a scholar, and you once took the world as your own responsibility, are you rare not to be ashamed?" Besides, the saint of heaven is determined to be in the world, and the people of Jiangnan will also be the people of the Great Zhou sooner or later, do you want the saint to take over a southeast that is full of holes and the people's hearts are lost?

In the face of Han Xizai's righteous and stern accusations, Li Gu's old face was slightly red, it is true that minting counterfeit coins is harmful, and some of them are not good to say, but if it is not, how can he pass the test?

Who will Jiangnan belong to in the future, now Jiangnan is under the rule of Li Hongji, even if they are all dead, what does it have to do with him?

Li Gu snorted and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Pedanty!" ”

Han Xizai took a deep breath, "I am pedantic, but I know that the foundation of governing the country lies in the hearts of the people, and the foundation of the people's hearts lies in the fields!" As long as the acres of land are cleared and the land is divided equally, Da Zhou will be able to look at it, so why play these tricks? Li Gu, can you guarantee that Da Zhou will not issue big money in the future? Won't mutilate your own people? This kind of bad example can't be opened, I don't believe it, one day, the treasury of the Great Zhou will not be enough, will you issue a lot of money? ”

Han Xizai pressed step by step, staring at Li Gu, which made Li Xianggong very embarrassed.

"Han Xizai, don't be aggressive, the two countries are fighting, how can a scholar like you understand!"

No matter how much the two of them quarreled, they couldn't get a result, and Han Xizai could only turn to Ye Hua.

"Han Zhongcheng, it seems that there is something wrong with the minting of counterfeit coins, but it has to be done."

Han Xizai frowned and mourned: "Master Hou! Could it be you? ”

Ye Hua stretched out his hand and stopped Han Xizai.

"Han Zhongcheng, listen to me." Ye Hua said: "This currency itself does not represent wealth, but only a valuation tool for wealth. ”

Han Xizai was puzzled, "Then what is wealth?" ”

"Grain, cloth, livestock, timber, iron, porcelain, but also brain and labor, these are real treasures. The reason why copper coins are valuable is that they can be exchanged for the goods and labor they need. ”

Han Xizai thought hard, Ye Hua casually picked up a copper, put it on the table, then picked up the teacup, and took a sip of it, Han Xizai bowed, "I understand what Master Hou means, but copper coins can be exchanged for these, how is it not wealth?" ”

Ye Hua shook his head with a smile, "Han Zhongcheng, let me make a metaphor for you, Han Xizai is you, but will you change?" ”

Han Xizai didn't know why, but Li Gu understood Ye Hua's thinking better.

"Han Xizai is a name, just like a copper coin, this name represents the person who was in his prime twenty years ago, twenty years later, his temples are white, and in another twenty years, it will be a handful of loess and a few dry bones! Some time ago, you were the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now you are the imperial history of the Great Zhou Dynasty! The name is still the same, but the people are very different! ”

Li Gu's tone made people angry, but the explanation was clear.

"Han Zhongcheng, if you are familiar with the scriptures and history, you must know that because of the wars in the past dynasties, prices have skyrocketed, and after the world is peaceful, prices will fall, and there will even be things like cheap grains hurting farmers."

Han Xizai nodded, "The old man has heard of it, but what does this have to do with copper coins?" ”

Ye Hua said with a smile: "Han Xianggong, if you take copper coins as the standard, a copper coin represents different wealth in different periods, isn't it just like a person's name!" ”

"Oh!"

Han Xizai suddenly realized, "Master Hou is really high-minded, the old man admires it!" But, but what does this have to do with counterfeiting big money? ”

"Yes."

Ye Hua said: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains has lacked gold, silver and copper, and our people are the most industrious group of people, who have created ten times more wealth, but because of the lack of valuation tools, they have become the fish and meat of powerful people!" The lesson is not profound. ”

"Li Hongji issued the top ten money, although it was intended to exploit Wu Yue, in fact, it is also a lack of currency, so as to make profits, we also cast the top ten money, but one day, take Jiangnan, we must reform the currency, the people may be damaged now, but after a long time, we will still benefit."

Ye Hua sighed: "First bitter and then sweet, this is also a helpless thing." Moreover, through the issuance of additional currency, the original system can be destroyed, and the so-called "no break" can be established. Han Zhongcheng, you plan to implement Juntian in Jiangnan, why can't you do it, because all kinds of forces are intertwined, Li Hongji simply doesn't have the courage to face this huge group, and he doesn't dare! If you want to truly Juntian, you must first break this interest group, issue ten coins, and destroy the financial and monetary system, which is the first step to break the big list! ”

Li Gu listened silently beside him, he was about to kneel down and call Master!

Ye Hua, this kid can really fool him, he obviously has a bad stomach and wants to make a lot of money, but when it comes to his mouth, he becomes above board, and he is about to be able to do the right thing for heaven!

However, Han Xizai nodded frequently when he heard it, "Hou Ye is far-sighted, which is admirable, but the old man thinks that Hou Ye is plotting the country, and Li Gu is a private person!" Let him be in charge of this, it will only be bad! ”

Anyway, Han Xizai didn't believe Li Gu at all.

Ye Hua said with a smile: "Han Zhongcheng, otherwise, let Li Xianggong mint money, and you will be responsible for supervision, and by the way, use your relationship in Jiangnan to spread the money." With Han Zhongcheng watching, I think Li Xianggong can't do it even if he has the intention to do evil. ”

Han Xizai nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, the old man must be keeping an eye on him!" Turning his head, Han Xizai gritted his teeth cruelly at Li Gu, "Brother Li, the profit from coinage is not small, don't worry, with me, don't think about making an extra penny!" ”
