In fact, this streamlining of officials was originally the most difficult thing in feudal society, because the officials of feudal society were symbols of power, but Han Yi's timing was too appropriate, because the imperial court was originally facing paralysis and was fully taken over by the military, and Han Yi targeted middle and lower-level officials, and the upper echelons were under house arrest, otherwise, it would definitely be difficult to get to the sky.

But then again, if Li Zhi did not do this, but forcibly let the imperial court keep running, the consequences would be even more unimaginable, because in order to maintain it, it is necessary to have money, and then it can only continue to be taxed, and the country will be even more chaotic.

But that's not the main reason, thousands of officials, just counting the money, can actually barely sustain themselves.

The point is that your redundant bureaucracy is itself full of contradictions, so any order has to be debated for a long time, and it may not be able to be carried out. It is impossible for Han Yi to be in charge at all, because those people inside are Wu Meiniang's people, they will definitely try their best to prevent Han Yi from changing the law, this political struggle is a battle of life and death, and they must desperately oppose Han Yi. If I try my best to stop it, will the country die, that's not necessarily, if I don't stop it, then I will definitely die, this person will not be destroyed for himself.

That's what they think, and so does Han Yi, because this is what he planned early on, and he must take advantage of this opportunity to smash all of Wu Meiniang's forces, or if this goal is not achieved, then everyone should not play, because he has no power to confront Wu Meiniang in the court, if he waits for Wu Meiniang to recover, then he will be very dangerous.

Li Zhi is very firmly on Han Yi's side this time, because Li Yifu has lost the hearts of the people, and Han Yi has indeed won the hearts of the people, at a critical time, of course, the emperor is on the side of the people's hearts, which does not show how much Li Zhi trusts Han Yi, Li Zhi's abacus is also very accurate, and he needs Han Yi to help him stabilize people's hearts.

Han Yi also knew this, he didn't pay attention to those officials at all, and asked Cui Ji to greet them, and he continued to do his own thing.

Today, Han Yi took Wu Kelie and their northwest businessmen to the workshop area in the southern suburbs to inspect, and now that many workshops have been opened, he also wants to give Wu Kelie them some confidence, and he also pulled Yuan Xi and Yuan Le out of Yuanjiabao.

"Brother Han is here!"

"Brother Han!"

......

As soon as Han Yi appeared, it caused quite a stir, and all the businessmen in the workshop ran out.

Although Han Yi has been promoted to Shang Shuling, everyone still likes to call him "Han Xiaoge", not that "Han Xiaoge" is called habitual, but Han Yi himself is different from other officials, he usually likes to joke, no matter who he meets, he is in the same tone, and he himself does not regard himself as a prime minister, which leads to everyone's impression of him as an official is very weak.

Han Yi smiled at everyone: "I'm here to see your production today, after all, I promised you to help you sell goods, but you also have to come up with good goods." ”

"Brother Han, please rest assured, our goods in Chang'an must be the best in the world." Yuwen Shumi said confidently.

Han Yi smiled: "That's because you haven't seen Muzhou, the goods in Muzhou are notoriously fine, and I have used them." So this is not good, we still have to talk about the facts! ”

Yuwen Xiumi immediately said: "Speak with the facts, speak with the facts." Brother Han waits a minute. ”

Han Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw him so confident, and said, "Okay, I want to see what good goods you have." ”

Yuwen Xiumi hurriedly ran to a workshop, and after a while, I saw him walking out with a wooden box, and said: "Brother Han, this is my newly opened glue factory, specializing in the production of all kinds of glue, which can be used in construction, ink, dyes, in short, all the glues in the world, I produce them here, and they are still the best ......." ”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and saw some small bottles inside.

Yuwen Xiumi opened three small bottles in a row to show Han Yi and others the glue produced in his workshop, he wanted to borrow Han Yi to advertise his products!

The so-called "glue" is a kind of adhesive.

"That's pretty good!"

"It's really different from what we used to use."

......

Many merchants nodded frequently, and Wu Kelie hurriedly stepped forward, holding the glue and looking left and right, only to feel very strange.

Yuwen Xiumi said triumphantly: "Of course, this is the latest production in our workshop, and it is the latest secret recipe used, which was not available before." As he spoke, he hugged Ukelie again, and said with a smile: "Brother Ukelie, we will have to work closely together in the future!" ”

Wu Kelie nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's really daring." ”

Han Yi knew that there must be animal glue in this glue, so he must cooperate with the businessmen in the northwest, and asked curiously: "Aren't you kid making cars, why did you change your career and start making glue?" ”

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Brother Han doesn't know, this glue is developed from the car dealership, my car dealership's wheels don't need to use glue, but I always didn't find the right glue, I simply bought a rubber factory, specializing in this thing, but the glue of the wheel did not come out, but made a lot of good glue, I simply started this business." ”

"I see!"

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you're a glue, I'm afraid you don't need my help." ”

Yuwen Shumi laughed happily.

This is his style of doing business, that is, blowing to death, showing triumphant and confident in front of outsiders, so as to bring confidence to consumers.

After staying here for a while, Han Yi went to another workshop.

"Taiyuan ink pen?"

Han Yi suddenly stopped and asked curiously, "Who drove this?" ”

"I drove it, I drove it."

But I saw a person squeezed out of the crowd behind, it was that Wang Gudao.

Of course, Han Yi opened it, but he just asked on purpose, and asked with a smile: "Are you producing brushes?" ”

"No, no." Wang Gudao said with a smile: "Speaking of my workshop, I owe it to you, Brother Han. ”

Han Yi said curiously: "How do you say this?" ”

Wang Gudao said: "Didn't Brother Han create a kind of painting before. ”

Han Yi nodded with a smile and said, "But what does it have to do with this workshop?" ”

"It's a big deal!" Wang Gudao said with a smile: "Brother Han's painting, but you can't use a brush, you have to use charcoal to paint, this was originally just a small workshop, it was specially designed to produce charcoal for Brother Han's kind of painting, and then after I bought it, I expanded it a little, and by the way, I also made some improvements, Brother Han, please wait a moment." ”

With that, he went into the workshop and soon came out with a few pens.

Han Yi was surprised: "Pencil? ”

"Pencils? No, it's an ink pen, it's made of graphite. ”

"Really?"

Han Yi picked up a pen, which was very similar to the pencils of later generations, and the outside was also wood, but the lead core inside was square, after all, it was much easier to be square than round in these years, so he took it and looked at it, and said, "You don't look like ordinary wood on the outside, how do you do this?" ”

Wang Gudao said: "This is a method that a papermaker in my family came up with, he used papermaking to crush some waste wood into pieces, and then wrapped it on the core, which is much more convenient to use." ”

Yuwen Xiumi immediately said: "Then you need to use glue!" ”

Wang Gudao said with a smile: "No, we wrap it before we do it, and it can be glued on its own." ”

Yuwen Xiumi said excitedly: "This can be used!" ”

Wang Gudao just smiled and nodded.

Han Yi also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this ink pen is really novel, I don't think this product needs to be sold to other places, I can wrap it myself." ”

Wang Gudao was overjoyed and said busily: "These pens will be given to Brother Han, and I hope that Brother Han will have more support." ”

Han Yi said: "Since you want to openly bribe the official, then the official is disrespectful." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all laughed.

Han Yi went to several large workshops to take a look, and found many eye-catching products, although the price is not cheap, and it is not as good as that of later generations, but the ideas are very novel, and there is even an oil workshop, which is dedicated to the production of lubricating oil for pulleys, of course, it is definitely not a motor oil, it is extracted from plants.

It can be seen that in the past three years, although it has been a devastating blow to Chang'an's commerce, but this Saiong lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing, during this period, these craftsmen had nothing to do, but the raw materials were hoarded a lot, and the businessmen simply let them study new products.

These unemployed craftsmen, fearing that they would lose their jobs, were doing their best to do research, and they made a lot of strange things, and there were as many as six kinds of paints alone, which were used for painting and dyes.

"Oops! The two Uncle Yuan, Brother Han, are really rare guests, rare guests. ”

When he came to Zhang's processing workshop, Zhang Daqi hurriedly greeted him.

Yuan Xi said: "I have been wandering around with my second brother for most of the day, and you are the first person to discover us!" ”

Zhang Daqi was stunned.

Yuan Le added: "The rest of the merchants only have our Shangshu Ling in their eyes!" ”

"The second uncle laughed!" Han Yi smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

Coming to Zhang Daqi's workshop, it was really full of dazzling goods, Han Yi said: "You also have a lot of new products here!" ”

Zhang Daqi sighed: "There is no way, a year ago, my workshop couldn't stand it, so I could only close the door, these craftsmen are all from my family, I can't cut them, I let them keep improving, get some good tools out, and as a result, these guys have made me as many as five or six kinds of hoes." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "The key is whether there is a market, there is a market, dozens of kinds are not too many, useless things, all of them are too much." ”

Zhang Daqi hurriedly said: "Brother Han really don't say it, they are still selling very well, and now many big families come to me to buy them." ”

Yuan Le picked up a small shovel and said, "What is this for?" ”

Zhang Daqi said: "This is specially used for potted plants. ”

"Bonsai?"

Yuan Le nodded and said, "This peony will definitely like it!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "Then I'll buy it!" ”

Yuan Le immediately laughed.

A few people looked around again, and found that there were many more small farm tools and tools, all of which were very fine kinds, not like before, a hoe, hoeing all the land in the world.

Wu Kelie smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Han, after this trip, the goods we brought are much less. ”

Han Yi laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, this trade can be done every year." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Daqi again.

Zhang Daqi understood and hurriedly led Wu Kelie and them to see other products.

Han Yi took a hoe and said, "Uncle, second uncle, what do you think of this hoe?" ”

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile and said, "Very good!" ”

Han Yi smiled and said, "These things are not produced on that island!" ”

Yuan Xi was stunned, and then smiled: "I understand, you came to us today because you want us to swallow this batch of goods." ”

Han Yi waved his hand and said: "The Yuan family wants to swallow it all, but I'm afraid that it can't, there are also Lelang Prefecture and other regions over there, and these goods are also needed." But this transaction must be done, because the price of goods at this time is relatively cheap, and in another year, the price will definitely be more expensive than now. And now a lot of land has been reclaimed on the island, the output has long been excessive, and it is urgently needed to be exported to the Central Plains, where the production is all crops, what cotton, wine, grain, these tools are not able to be produced, and our Central Plains just lack crops, this is a win-win deal! ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "No wonder you dared to guarantee that it had already been calculated." ”

Han Yi smiled and said, "There's no way, these many things happen together, I can only take it apart and solve it." ”

Yuan Le said: "But big brother, what Han Yi said is not bad, these tools are the most lacking on the island." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "I also know this, but this kid is a little better." ”

It's just a small scene, what's it, there will be a big move to release later, I hope it won't freak you out! Han Yi smiled: "My duty is to let everyone make money, not let everyone lose money." ”

After so many years of development, it has come time to show its power, and now the Yuan family's financial resources are already very terrifying, and no matter how large a large number of goods are, they can be swallowed directly.

Of course, this was all calculated by Han Yi a long time ago, otherwise, how could he dare to guarantee it, after all, this is not a fraud.

It's just that what Han Yi didn't expect was that Datang had ushered in a golden age of technological explosion, because Jiangnan's industry and commerce had risen, and Jiangnan had a large number of raw materials. Chang'an is a transit station, not a raw material origin, its biggest advantage is the heritage, this talent is concentrated in Chang'an, the ability to create is far stronger than Jiangnan, coupled with the past few years of yin and yang, but because of the blessing of misfortune, craftsmen have nothing to do, every day in the workshop tinkering, concentrate on research.

After wandering around the workshop area for a day, Han Yi returned to North Lane.

As soon as he came back, Sang Mu hurriedly greeted him, "Engong, I have already investigated Wang Gudao and Mengda clearly. Wang Gudao is Wang Xuandao's cousin, their funds are from the Taiyuan Wang family, and Na Mengda is a businessman from Laizhou, but according to our investigation, his family wealth is not enough to buy so many workshops, and the source of his money has not yet been ascertained, but we found out that he used to be the domestic slave of Cui Pingzhong, Cui Pingzhong's father, when Cui Pingzhong scattered all his family wealth, gave all the slaves in the family to the identity of his beloved, and gave them freedom, I think Mengda's funds are all from the Cui family. ”

Han Yi smiled and groaned: "Sure enough, it's the two of them." ”

Sang Mu said cautiously: "Engong, the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Qinghe Cui clan are the most powerful clans in our Tang Dynasty, they have invested so much money in the business at this time, what is this picture?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "What else can it be besides money, but this is very beneficial to me, don't worry about them, even if they have bad intentions, I don't need to be afraid of them in terms of trading, no, it should be in any aspect." Now the only thing that my Meicun Han clan can't compare to their Qinghe Cui clan is the problem of people, and when I have a few more, they will basically be reduced to a second-rate clan. ”

Sang Mu nodded with a smile and said, "I know." ”

......

......

Daheungzenji Temple.

"Now that Han Yi has cleared all the forces of Empress Wu and Li Yifu from the court, he should also come up with his method at this time, if he doesn't make a move, the situation may be irreparable, but he doesn't seem to have any plans to make a move, and today he went to the workshop to inspect."

Cui Jijian said to Cui Pingzhong with a confused face.

He always thought that Han Yi should make a move, but Han Yi focused on stability and resolutely did not explode, no, he just didn't make a move.

Cui Pingzhong narrowed his eyes and said: "This matter is not so simple, if you just want to deal with Li Yifu and them, Han Yi can't go on a trip, when he comes back immediately, he can still clear these people from the government and the opposition, there is no conflict between the two, it can be seen that he wants to delay for a while, as for why he is delaying, what he is waiting for, it can only depend on what tricks he will make then, but I don't think he will be able to delay for long, and if he does this, who will dare not make a mess." ”

.....．

Military Department.

"Sikong, something is wrong! The news just came from Daduhu's side that Tubo quietly borrowed troops from Da Bolu and annexed Xiao Bolu in one go, completely controlling the road from my Tang Dynasty to Persia. ”

He Li gasped slightly and reported to Li Jiyu.

"What?" Hearing this, Li Ji couldn't help but get up and said, "What is the situation of Dadu Hu?" ”

He Li was a little puzzled: "It seems that Tubo is only going to the Persian side this time, and in the northwest, it seems that it intends to divide and rule with us. And Pei Xingjian's side, because the merchants in the northwest have not returned, and the people in the northwest are unstable, he does not dare to rush to send troops, after all, we don't have many troops stationed there. ”

Li Ji nodded and sighed: "This is already a great luck in misfortune, the old man has been worried that this Tubo will make a comeback, so the old man has already asked Su Dingfang to go to Tuyuhun before, and now that Tubo has transferred his troops there, obviously he has no intention of coming to the Central Plains to take advantage of the fire to rob, you ordered Pei Xingjian to take care of the capital first, and not to act rashly." ”

Datang has become chaotic like this, it is impossible for Lu Dongzan not to know, but the problem is that there is no civil war in Datang, and there is no chaos in the military. Lu Dongzan learned a lesson last time, so he didn't dare to start a full-scale war rashly, after all, the troops on Tuyuhun's side were still there, and they were twice as large as the previous garrison. In the northwest, Datang did not have many garrisons, and the last time it was all defended by local herdsmen in the northwest, and there was no chaos in the northwest.

So Lu Dongzan decided this time to take advantage of what should be taken first, and wait and see what happens, so he went to fight the westernmost territory of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, it can't be said to be a territory, it should be regarded as a vassal country, but the geographical location is very important, it is the main passage to Dashi and Persia, in fact, it was also under the control of Tubo before, but last time when he was conquering Ashina Helu, he was occupied by Pei Xingjian by taking the opportunity.

Tubo always has to expand externally, and this side is surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, so it has to find an exit.

Lu Dongzan's calculation was very correct, because if there was a war with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would be able to transfer the contradictions to the outside, and if it didn't get it right, it would have to go back in disgrace, and if it came again, the morale of Tubo would be lost, and it would not take advantage of it several times.

But if Datang develops a civil war, then he will definitely make a comeback, after all, the Central Plains is the best place, there is no doubt about it.

And now that Datang is in chaos like this, it really can't control that side.

This is still talking, the news came from the Liaodong region, and suddenly there were many robbers in the Liaodong region, specializing in robbing the past businessmen, and according to the investigation of the Laizhou government, those robbers were all from the Khitan Eight Division, after all, the Khitan Department was foreign, and it was divided into two factions, one faction was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and the other faction wanted to be independent. If Shandong is also in turmoil, then they can take advantage of the situation.

Although this is not a worse situation, if it is not controlled, it will definitely be chaotic.

However, the fundamental problem has not yet been solved, that is, the central government has no money, and the local prefectures and counties have no money.

.......

.......

Li Ji hurriedly informed Li Zhi of the matter, and Li Zhi hurriedly convened a meeting to discuss how to deal with it?

After hearing this, Cui Jijian immediately said: "Your Majesty, at this moment, you have to quickly send someone to Tubo to condemn Tubo's annexation of Xiao Bolu, and ask Tubo to withdraw its troops from Xiao Bolu immediately." ”

Li Jidao: "Who is Lu Dongzan, the old man knows best, if he will withdraw his troops, then he will not send troops, he chose our westernmost Tang Dynasty to shoot, just to know that we are a little beyond the reach of that side, even if a few years ago, we are going to go to war with Tubo, I am afraid the chance of winning is not great, after all, this is too far, not to mention that the domestic problems have not been solved yet." ”

Li Zhi nodded.

Cui Jijian said: "Sikong misunderstood the meaning of the lower officials, this art of war has clouds, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, Lu Dongzan must also have the intention of tempting this time, he must also be observing the changes in the situation in my Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan Eight Divisions over there must be the same, at this time the imperial court must be tough, and they must not be allowed to see our virtual reality, especially for the Khitan Eight Divisions, as far as I know, Laizhou and Dengzhou are relatively stable, and Your Majesty should immediately give an order to let Laizhou and Dengzhou send troops to exterminate those thieves." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "But what if the Khitan Eight Divisions take the opportunity to declare war?" ”

Wang Xuandao said: "Then let's start a war with it, there are internal disputes within the Khitan Eight Divisions, and they are not very united, we can lead the soldiers of Tiele and the soldiers of Lelangzhou to attack from three sides." ”

Lu Shigua also said: "Those who want to take advantage of the fire to rob must not be tolerated, otherwise, they will definitely get worse." ”

These people are all young and vigorous, different from the old drivers of Li Yifu, and Shandong is their base camp.

Li Zhi saw that a few of them were so tough, that is, the Shandong Shi clan would fully support the imperial court, nodded slightly, and looked at Li Ji again.

Li Ji also nodded, and changed his words: "But this is only an expedient measure, and the top priority should be how to calm this crisis." ”

Li Zhi suddenly remembered Han Yi, who had been silent on the side, this was the lifesaver, and hurriedly asked, "Shang Shuling, have you thought of a way?" ”

Han Yi, who had been hanging his head, suddenly raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Cui Jijian and them.

Li Zhi's head was no longer thinking about anything, and he also looked at Cui Ji and them.

Cui Jijian They didn't know what it meant, they were at a loss, we are not like you, we will hide it, if we have an idea, we will say it a long time ago.

It was still Li Ji, the old fox, who understood Han Yi, and said: "Cui Zhongcheng, you go down first to deal with the affairs of the northwest and Liaodong." ”

Li Zhi reacted immediately, mumbled, and said, "You guys hurry up and draft the edict." ”

Cui Jijian They are very aggrieved, we are all loyal to you, why do you want us to step down? Don't you believe us?

Han Yi's cheap expression obviously doesn't believe you.

And the emperor has spoken, and they can only retreat, although they all want to stay.

There are only three people left in the Liangyi Palace, Li Zhi, Li Ji, and Han Yi.

Only then did Han Yi speak: "Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen has already thought of a way ...... before. ”

Without waiting for Han Yi to finish speaking, Li Zhi roared: "Then why didn't you say it earlier." ”

At this time, you are still hiding.

Han Yi sneered: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, that's just because of Weichen's plan, it is not a superior strategy, but a plan to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and it is a little disgraceful." ”

Li Zhi said: "That's better than nothing, you should have said it earlier." ”

Li Ji also said: "At this time, how can you still look forward and backward." ”

Han Yi said again: "But if you adopt Weichen's policy, it is actually much better to say it later than earlier." ”

The more Li Zhi listened, the more confused he became, and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Li Ji also looked at Han Yi with a puzzled expression.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, the strategy of Weichen is to issue treasury bonds. ”

"National debt?"

Li Ji and Li Zhi were stunned at the same time, completely incomprehensible.

Han Yi said: "To put it simply, this treasury bond is an IOU, but the state borrows money from the people and guarantees to pay a certain amount of interest. ”

This sentence immediately extinguished Li Zhi's full expectation, looked at Han Yi, and seemed to say, you must be joking.

"Aren't you taxing in disguise?"

Li Ji wondered.

What is a disguised tax? This loan has to be repaid, and it is not a fraud. Han Yi said depressedly: "Sikong, these are two different things, taxation is mandatory, it is an obligation, it is not necessary to pay it back, it is your willingness to borrow money, not only to repay, but also to pay interest, this is a sale, not an obligation." ”

Li Zhi sighed: "You may not be too whimsical about this, now in the situation of the imperial court, even the taxes cannot be collected, who would be willing to lend money to the imperial court, even if the imperial court is willing to pay interest." ”

Han Yi said: "That's why the minister didn't say it before, and His Majesty forgot that the minister said that this was a plan to break the boat, that is to say, if you want to adopt the method of issuing treasury bonds, in fact, the more chaotic it is, the more conducive to the issuance of treasury bonds." ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty knows why this crisis broke out. ”

Li Zhiyi waved his hand and said, "How can I be in the mood to think about these things now. ”

Han Yi immediately said: "Actually, Weichen doesn't know the specific reason, but one thing Weichen thinks is certain, that is, this crisis is man-made, I don't know if Your Majesty can deny it." ”

Li Zhi immediately said: "Of course I know that there are no natural disasters or wars now, what else will it be except for man-made disasters." ”

As he spoke, his face was full of anger.

Han Yi nodded and said: "Since it is artificial, that is, the country's money has not been swallowed up by natural disasters, and the food is not less, but it has just entered some people's money bags." ”

Li Zhi sighed: "You want to be angry, how can I not understand in my heart." ”

"Wechen didn't want to make His Majesty angry, he just wanted to clarify a truth."

"What's the truth?"

Han Yi said: "Weichen dares to ask Your Majesty, will Your Majesty pursue this matter?" ”

Li Zhi snorted: "I not only want to investigate, but also to the end, but I don't have time to investigate this matter now." ”

"That's it." Han Yi said: "The money of this court has flowed into the private money bag, no matter what, it is an illegal act, then this money is dirty money, it is not visible, and when Your Majesty investigates it, then this money will become a hot potato, after all, this matter is so big, if it is investigated, it is not a simple investigation, Your Majesty must investigate it thoroughly." ”

Li Zhi asked, "So what?" ”

Han Yi said: "What if buying treasury bonds can help these people avoid these dirty money being investigated?" ”

Li Zhi and Li Ji were stunned at the same time, as if they understood a little bit.

Han Yi said: "The imperial court can announce to the outside world that it will issue treasury bonds in the name of the gold bank and the yuan bank, and in doing so, it can increase the credibility of the national bonds, after all, the gold bank and the yuan bank have always won everyone's trust." Second, after all, the gold bank and the yuan bank are privately owned, not the imperial court, and the gold bank and the yuan bank are obliged to ensure the privacy of customers, that is, anyone can buy treasury bonds. ”

Li Ji said: "Those people are very cunning, so they don't necessarily want to let them take out their dirty money." ”

Han Yi said: "If it were normal, they would definitely not take it out, but the current situation is unbearable for them."

First, the outside world is so chaotic that it may be robbed at any time, and it has become no longer safe to keep this money around, and if it is lent to the state at this time, it is the state that bears the risk.

Second, His Majesty has issued an edict before, indicating that Chang'an has recovered, and to investigate the matter thoroughly, Wechen believes that many people will use that dirty money to buy national bonds, even if they can't protect themselves, they can also be left to future generations. Especially the corrupt officials in Chang'an, Gyeonggi has been blocked, it is difficult for this person to escape, and he wants to escape with so much money and food, which is almost impossible, as long as we use a few more corrupt officials to take the lead, they will definitely exchange all the dirty money into national bonds. ”

Li Zhi interrupted Han Yi's words and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to find out first." ”

This is a good thing to do.

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, if you want to thoroughly investigate, it is not a day's work, first you have to release Li Yifu and them, and it is not easy to find out where they hide their grain, and more importantly, the grain hidden by corrupt officials is only a part, and Weichen uses them as bait to let more people buy treasury bonds." ”

"Bait?"

"Not bad. According to Wechen's experience in trading over the years, even if a commodity is not good, as long as there are more people who buy it, it will attract more people to buy, this is human nature, everyone will feel that so many people buy, then this thing must be good. At the beginning of the issuance of treasury bonds, everyone must think that the imperial court is deceiving itself, at this time it is necessary for these corrupt officials and corrupt officials to take the lead, not only them, but also those smugglers, robbers, they have made a lot of dirty money, especially grain, this time and a half will definitely not be able to eat, but when the imperial court investigates, these grains will be a disaster, they are very weak-minded, as long as we publicize it properly, cleverly use their psychology, they will definitely buy it. But those innocent big landlords and rich businessmen, they can't see this, they only see that many people are buying treasury bonds, and the treasury bonds themselves are profitable, they will regard it as an investment, the outside world is so chaotic, the money is all at home, and it is not to make money, and if you buy treasury bonds, you will pay interest. ”

Li Ji nodded slightly and said, "This idea is quite good. ”

As soon as they had problems before, they set their sights on those honest people, and Han Yi's trick was to fight wits and courage with these rich guys, in fact, the money and grain were concentrated in the hands of these people, and they looted all the money and grain in the grain treasury in the hands of the people.

Li Zhi understood why Han Yi said that the longer this method was delayed, the better the effect, because the more dirty money there was, but he always felt strange in his heart, and said: "That is to say, they are greedy for the country's money and rob the people's money, and the court has to borrow the money from them and pay them interest, which is really unreasonable." ”

Han Yi said: "That's why Weichen said that this is the next policy!" In doing so, I am indeed sorry for Your Majesty and the people of the world. Wechen has always been thinking of a better way, if it weren't for the urgency of the situation now, the minister wouldn't have said it. ”

I'm sorry for the people, it's better than losing the country!

Li Zhi thought about the current situation, and hesitated a little, but as an emperor, this kind of thing was not easy to agree, so he couldn't help but look at Li Ji again and said, "What do you think?" ”

Of course, Li Ji understood what Li Zhi meant, and said: "The old minister thinks that the top priority is to focus on the overall situation, if no measures are taken, there will be turmoil in the northwest and Liaodong, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Li Zhi nodded, and asked Han Yi again: "Han Yi, are you sure that you can succeed?" ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not absolutely sure, after all, this matter is also the first time for the minister, so it is also necessary to increase the credit of the national debt." ”

Li Zhidao: "How to increase? ”

Han Yi said: "The country's assets and His Majesty's seal." Mortgage the state's assets to the Gold Bank and the Yuan Bank, and stamp His Majesty's seal on the national debt. ”

Li Zhi was a little scary when he heard it.

Han Yi said again: "But Your Majesty, please rest assured, this asset mortgage is just a document, and the right to use it is still in the hands of the state." ”

Li Zhi groaned for a while, and asked worriedly, "How much money are you going to borrow?" ”

"Ten million!"

Han Yi said: "First issue 10 million guan of treasury bonds, for a period of three years, calculate the interest of ten yuan, after three years, return it with a piece of principal and interest, pay 1 million guan of interest, counting the principal, a total of 11 million guan." Oh, the minister said that this is 11 million yuan, all of which are grain, according to the price of grain in previous years, ten cents and one bucket, because the imperial court now needs food, not currency, and currency, it can't borrow so much, and it doesn't play a big role in the current situation. ”

Nowadays, grain is hard currency, and currency can only be used in Yangzhou Muzhou and Bashu, and the currency of the two capitals can no longer buy anything.

Li Zhi sweated when he heard this, this peaceful and prosperous era, the total income of the entire empire in a year is full, and it may be so much, now the treasury is so badly empty, all the money is borrowed, and after three years, it will have to pay such a large sum of money, and the key imperial court also clearly stipulates that the tax will be exempted for next year, how can this money be repaid then! Nervously, he said, "Are you sure you can pay it off when the time comes?" ”

Han Yi said very confidently: "As long as this crisis is overcome, the minister is absolutely sure that he will pay off all the money." ”

Li Zhi and Li Ji looked at each other again, in fact, it was the same whether it was right or wrong, he had no other choice, Tubo was eyeing the side, the Khitan tribe was about to move, and Han Yi was so confident that he could repay it, he thought for a while, and said: "Okay, this matter is up to you to deal with." ”

"Wechen obeys."

I've only been out once a month, and the sad thing is that it's not because of the haircut, I've eaten more than a box of instant noodles, and I'm about to vomit, and instant noodles are the physical and mental destruction of foodies.
