Chapter 1275: Clapper Decision
Zhang Shusheng was announced into the palace by a palace person.
He was surprised, and at the same time very apprehensive.
The first time he entered the palace, he was very curious about the things in the palace, but he didn't dare to look up, he just walked behind the palace people, for fear that he would go fast, and he was afraid that he would go slowly.
I don't know how long he walked before he finally came to the imperial study.
There were two people in the study, one sitting and the other standing.
The momentum of the two people is very extraordinary, he thought he was the kind of person who was very calm, but when he saw these two people, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs.
"Grass People...... Zhang Shusheng, meet the saint. ”
Zhang Shusheng hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin glanced at Zhang Shusheng and couldn't help pouting.
Ugly, ugly.
Li Shimin felt that Zhang Shusheng was a little ugly, but after pouting, Li Shimin still nodded and said: "Excuse me, I announced that you entered the palace, mainly to ask about the currency, Ma Zhou said that you have a way to reform the currency?" ”
Zhang Shusheng nodded: "Back to the saint, my Datang's current currency, copper alloy is too common, any person can counterfeit, if there is a mold, as long as there are these things, you can get fake copper coins by yourself, to put it bluntly, our Datang now means to make copper coins, it is too difficult, if you want to avoid counterfeit money from happening again, you can only carry out currency reform and issue new coins............"
Zhang Shusheng told Li Shimin and Eldest Sun Wuji the same thing he told Qin Tian before.
And it's very detailed.
After Li Shimin listened, his expression moved slightly, according to what Zhang Shusheng said, currency reform is imperative, and if he does what he says, it can also reduce the cost of making copper coins, which is undoubtedly a very helpful thing for the imperial court.
After thinking about it again, Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, who secretly complained in his heart, but still said: "Holy Lord, the currency reform, the minister thinks it is feasible." ”
Obviously, Li Shimin is moved, so he can only follow Li Shimin's wishes.
And what Li Shimin wants is just an attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji, with the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, this matter will naturally go much smoother.
After such a decision, Li Shimin and the others only waited for tomorrow morning to bring up this matter.
After saying that, the eldest grandson Wuji left the palace.
And after he left the palace, his eyebrows immediately condensed.
I am afraid that the monetary reform will affect the interests of many people, and it is not so easy to implement it.
He has no choice but to support, and he also believes that Li Shimin knows better than anyone the difficulty behind this.
But Li Shimin finally insisted on doing it, obviously, he made a big decision this time.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head with a chuckle, hurriedly returned to the house, and made some arrangements.
------------------
The next day, the weather in Chang'an City became more and more bleak.
In the early days, the eldest grandson Wuji talked about the monetary reform.
Li Shimin's intention to let him express his stance yesterday is for this, with his eldest grandson Wuji taking the lead, he will definitely be able to reduce some of the resistance.
Of course, this is only a partial reduction.
This matter involves the interests of some people, so these people must fight for their own interests.
Therefore, just after the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out.
"Lord Eldest Sun, issuing new coins is not as simple as you think, this will shake our Tang Guoben."
"That's it, it's just that the pressure at the beginning was too great, and we Datang couldn't afford it."
"Holy Lord, the words of the eldest grandson are absolutely impossible, and my current currency of the Tang Dynasty seems to be nothing to do, right?"
"Yes, although there was a counterfeit money incident, isn't this matter solved, and it will definitely not happen again in the future."
“…………”
There are many voices of opposition, and their reasons are also varied, Li Shimin looked at them, and his eyebrows condensed slightly.
This matter is difficult to do, mainly because some people in the DPRK and China must have private property, or many of them have tax evasion, and this kind of thing cannot be eradicated in the first place, and there are even more officials in the DPRK and China doing business.
The money they evaded taxes was all hidden.
But once a new currency is issued, their long-term money cannot be used, but they cannot exchange it for new currency, so that the money is not equivalent to being invalid?
That's a lot of money, and if it is invalidated, the loss to them is great.
They are very reluctant to see that happen.
The issuance of new currency can filter out those who evade taxes, which is very helpful to the imperial court.
Of course, not only these officials in the DPRK and China have evaded taxes, but also some other businessmen, and if they really want to discover the new currency, there will be more voices of opposition.
Looking at these opponents in the court, Li Shimin's heart was a little angry, it was obviously something that would help the court, but these ministers were all against it for their own interests.
Are they still officials of Datang?
Are they still dedicated to Datang?
But everyone is selfish, and no one can change this, and Li Shimin can't help them.
It's a bit tricky.
At this time, Ma Zhou suddenly stood up and said: "Shengshang, the currency needs to be reformed, and I Datang also needs to issue new coins, but what these officials said is also a little reasonable, issuing new coins and recycling old coins at once is really a very huge project, and the pressure caused to my Datang cannot be underestimated, and it is really possible to form some disorderly situations." ”
Ma Zhou actually spoke for those who objected, Li Shimin was a little puzzled, wasn't he Ma Zhou who let the new currency be promoted in the first place?
However, Li Shimin was not in a hurry to ask, and Ma Zhou continued to say: "So the saint, the minister thinks that this matter should not be rushed, and it should be done slowly." ”
Li Shimin had a cold face and asked, "How should I do it slowly?" ”
Ma Zhoudao: "It can be replaced slowly, after the new currency is issued, the old currency can also be used, and when the people have more new coins and fewer old coins, then the new coins will be fully issued at that time." ”
After listening to Zhang Shusheng's narration, Qin Tian knew that the issuance of new coins would touch the interests of many people, and if he wanted to do this, he had to slow down, at least not too hard.
After Ma Zhou finished speaking, those who opposed the DPRK just now suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the old coins can also be used, and they can be given time to deal with them.
So soon, they jumped out again.
"Holy Lord, the minister thinks what Ma Zhou said is good, this matter can't be rushed."
"Yes, Shengshang, the new currency is indeed good, but it can't be too fast, and I think that doing what Master Ma said can stabilize the situation in my Datang."
“…………”
Seeing this situation, Li Shimin weighed it, and finally could only make a decision.
