After making his words clear with Li Ke and Li Tai, early the next morning, when Gao Ming went to court, he announced his decision in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

"Everyone already knows about the emperor before, so I won't go around the bush and say it bluntly, I want to avenge the emperor's enmity for public and private, I will leave for Luoyang now, from today onwards, the military affairs will be temporarily handed over to the cabinet for disposal, Li Tai and Li Ke will be the supervisors of the country until I return from the expedition, that's all."

After speaking, without waiting for the civil and military officials to agree, Gao Ming got up directly and left the court, and then went to the Tang Military Industry Department outside the city.

Liu Tao, the person in charge of the Ministry of Military Industry, received a report from the people below and knew that Gao Ming was coming, so he hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I have already done what Your Highness wanted!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Gao Ming was overjoyed, "I'm just waiting for your words, lead the way ahead!" ”

"No!"

Seeing Gao Ming's happy appearance, Liu Tao hurriedly agreed, and then took him into the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Military Industry, and handed Gao Ming a palm-sized piece of paper.

"Your Highness, look, this is what you want!"

Looking at the piece of paper he handed over, Gao Ming took it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw that the back of this piece of paper was printed with Chang'an City, and in the middle of the front was printed the appearance of Gao Ming wearing armor and riding on a war horse, and the words "Treasury bills are consistent" were printed on the top.

It turned out that this piece of paper was nothing else, it was the treasury bills that Gao Ming asked Liu Tao to make!

The only drawback is that the paper is not good enough, and the colors on it are not bright enough, it looks like the dark banknotes printed by those thought-opening merchants in later generations.

Of course, in this era, it is not bad to be able to reach such a level, so after seeing the treasury bill completed by Liu Tao, Gao Ming immediately nodded.

"Well, it's good to be able to do this, but the follow-up process still needs to be improved, so let's do it, as the first edition of treasury bills like this, 10 million guan will be printed and handed over to the household department for distribution, and the second edition of 40 million guan will be made with bamboo as the main material and cotton and linen as auxiliary materials."

"Yes, I'll do it right away!"

Now Liu Tao has figured out Gao Ming's temper, he knows that the prince he is loyal to is a pragmatic person, as long as he does his job well, too much false courtesy will make the other party dislike.

So at this time, after he finished speaking, he saluted Gao Ming, and then hurried towards the workshop.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming also nodded with satisfaction, and then left the Datang Military Industry Department directly, took his own guards, and rode towards Luoyang.

Chang'an is not close to Luoyang, even if it takes more than ten days to ride a horse and take the official road with the best road conditions, so Gao Ming set off early after taking the three thousand guards headed by Su Gan Chengji.

When Gao Ming and others rushed to Luoyang in the starry night, Liu Tao also worked overtime to start making treasury bills, and then handed over the printed 10 million treasury bills to the household department and began to issue them in Chang'an.

Regarding this kind of "IOU" printed by Gao Ming, the civil and military officials of the court, including Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui and the eldest grandson Wuji, all maintained a skeptical attitude.

However, seeing that Gao Ming had seized a large amount of loot from Goryeo at the beginning, and now that the treasury is full, they all paid for a little, but all of them added up to no more than 1,000 yuan.

In their opinion, even those of them who are officials can only buy 1,000 guan, and ordinary people can't afford it, so it is estimated that the 10 million guan treasury bills printed by Gao Ming will be reduced to waste paper.

But they soon learned that they were wrong, because they underestimated Gao Ming's credibility and influence among the people!

On the day of the issuance of treasury bills, the people of Chang'an took a large amount of copper coins and silver to exchange for treasury bills printed with the portrait of Gao Ming.

Less than a week after the issuance of the treasury bills, 10 million guan treasury bills were emptied by the common people and wealthy merchants in Chang'an, and even the second edition, which had just been issued, was exchanged for a small half within a week.

By the time the merchants from Jinju arrived in Chang'an, the remaining more than 30 million yuan of second-edition treasury bills had all been redeemed.

A total of 50 million copper coins and silver taels were put into the treasury, which made the treasury of the Tang Dynasty unprecedentedly full, even surpassing the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui!

What the civil and military officials did not expect the most was that it didn't take long for businessmen to start trading large amounts with treasury bills.

With merchants taking the lead, the common people also began to trade with treasury bills, such as buying and selling fields and ploughing cattle, and they preferred to use treasury bills with a small amount of copper coins to buy and sell rather than heavy copper coins.

And they also gave the treasury bills a nice name, called "Prince Money".

For such a situation, many ministers were shocked at the same time, but also began to get busy.

After the deliberation of the cabinet of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, and with the approval of the two vassal kings, Li Ke and Li Tai, two decrees on treasury bills were issued from the imperial court.

The first decree, of course, affirmed the validity of treasury bills, promising that after one year, anyone holding treasury bills would be able to take the treasury bills to the local county government and exchange them for copper coins or silver taels with interest.

And the second decree is a punishment, all those who forge treasury bills, no matter how large or small, will be punished for the crime of deceiving the king and plotting rebellion, and even the nine clans, and those who report can get all the property of the person who was killed, and those who make false accusations will sit back!

There is no doubt that this is a very overbearing regulation, but it is undeniable that it is very effective in this era of weak national supervision.

Sure enough, with the issuance of these two decrees by the imperial court, the treasury bills have not only eliminated the crisis of being counterfeited, but also raised the credit rating of the private sector again.

However, these Gao Ming didn't know, because at this time, he had already brought his personal guards to Luoyang's Tiance Mansion.

Tiance Mansion is an important place for Li Shimin to step onto the historical stage, and has a very special status in the Tang Dynasty, and Gao Ming was personally appointed by Li Shimin as the general of Tiance, so he will come here to order generals.

Soon after Gao Ming arrived at Tiance Mansion, Ashinadur and Hou Junji arrived, and the two brought back 200,000 troops from the Wa Kingdom and the Liaodong Peninsula respectively, and then Li Ji also arrived with 200,000 troops and 500,000 people requisitioned from Silla, and the million army gathered in Luoyang.

Looking at the heads of people gathered under the city wall, Gao Ming, dressed in military uniform, stood at the head of Luoyang, letting the blood-red cloak behind him be blown by the wind, he took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly.

"Yibi Shekui and Ashina Helu thieves are not dead, regardless of Tian'en and boldly rebel, this crime of my Tang Tianwei is not enough to atone, Lone today to convene Er, just to beg for thieves, I don't want to be taken prisoner in this battle, whoever kills one Turkic person, the reward is consistent, and those who kill ten people will be given an acre of Yongye field in addition to the reward, and there is no cap!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming stepped on the gap in the city tower, and then pulled out the Tang knife at his waist and roared up.

"The desert is lonely, millions of iron hooves are rushing to Xichuan, when Wang Shi pacifies the Western Regions, thousands of people cast Jingguan, out!"

"No!"
