Wang Yong's face was stunned, and then he asked: "Little lady Yiyue, do you know who a certain person is?" ”

"Listening to Xiao Langjun, Wang Bing and Ma Envoy seems to be from Yingzhou, Hebei Province. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Ayitengna didn't understand what Wang Yong meant.

"Then Xiao Langjun, have you mentioned that my ancestor is a Goguryeo?"

"I haven't heard Xiao Langjun say it." Aitengna shook her head.

"My ancestors have migrated to Yingzhou for many years, and no one knows about this matter except for the capital protection." Wang Yong explained: "The envoy of the king of Longyou is also a Goguryeo from Yingzhou, and I may be able to really climb a little kinship relationship with him." However, he didn't have much contact with him, so he didn't pull it. ”

From Wang Yong's demeanor, Ayi Tenggena slightly felt that his words were true and false, and there were all untruths. However, she was convinced that Wang Yong would not have any unfavorable thoughts about Xiao Langjun and herself, so she just nodded and sighed: "I see, no wonder there is a bit of similarity." ”

"Little lady Yiyue, do you know that after the dissolution of the great dynasty, the sage will also summon the crown prince Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and Chen. Xilie and other important ministers went to the Zichen Palace to discuss the government. Wang Yong saw that Ayitengna no longer asked, so he naturally changed the topic.

"I heard Xiao Langjun say that the battle of the Western Expedition to Shiguo was also finalized at the Zichen Discussion after the Great Dynasty Meeting three years ago, and it seemed that there were a lot of waves at that time."

"That's true. The first day is the first day of the year, and the ministers gather at the court. Therefore, after the great court meeting, the saints will often convene important ministers to discuss politics. The little lady knows what will be discussed in the Zichen Hall at this moment? Wang Yong asked with a smile.

"Huh?" Aitengna's eyes rolled: "Could it be that the border general is the king?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Yong approving: "However, in addition to this matter, it is estimated that the battle in Jiannan will also be discussed." Yang Guozhong is also the envoy of the Jiannan Festival as the squire of the military department, and he must want to make some moves. ”

"Wang Bing Ma Envoy, do you think Du Hu can be crowned king?" Aitengna thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

"This ......" Wang Yong hesitated for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "I'm afraid I can't say if I protect myself!" The only thing that is certain is that Tsuyoshi will never be as enthusiastic about it as some people are. ”

Seeing Wang Yong's serious tone, Ayi Tenggena turned to say: "The layout of Daming Palace is grand, and it is extremely magnificent. It's a pity that Xiao Langjun was busy preparing for the imperial examination and couldn't participate in the Yuan-Ri Dynasty meeting. However, with Xiao Langjun's talent, he will be able to successfully become a new science and technology scholar. When I think about next year's court meeting, Xiao Langjun can be among them. ”

"What's so good about participating in the Yuan-Ri Dynasty Meeting? It's not ...... that Du Hu is looking forward to," Wang Yong followed Aitengna's words and hurriedly stopped.

Ayitengna's heart moved, and she suddenly understood that Wang Duhu was always at ease with Xiao Langjun's trip to Chang'an. Of course, she is very aware of Xiao Langjun's determination, and believes that after the imperial examination, Xiao Langjun will definitely choose to stay in Chang'an. As for how Xiao Langjun explained to Wang Duhu at that time, it was not something she could worry about.

In the midst of his reverie, the sound of the abacus came to an abrupt end, pulling Ayitengna back from the Yuan Dynasty to the boundless spring.

"It's finally figured out!" Jian Ruoxi let out a long yawn and said to herself: "Fei Langjun has been going on for some reason recently, and it's really worrying to let people hoard so many gold, silver and copper coins in the store. However, the income of the hot pot restaurant is really gratifying, if it is not for more than 20% of the copper coins that are bad money, the income will be even higher. ”

"Ruoxi lady, there are more than 20% of the bad money?" Aitengna asked, frowning.

"Before the first day, there was only occasional bad money, and after the first day, the imperial court issued a decree strictly prohibiting bad money, and there were more and more bad money on the market, which is really strange." Jian Ruoxi has been running an inn for many years and is very sensitive to coins.

"The water behind the bad money. It's deep! Aitenga sighed.

As the princess of the Turgish Khanate, Aitengana was exposed to the copper coins minted by the Khanate itself and the gold and silver coins brought by Sogdian merchants. However, with her identity, the coins she has seen and used are all beautiful and intact fine private coins that cut corners and are incomplete, and Aitengana has never seen them before coming to Chang'an.

After the hot pot restaurant opened, some bad money would be received more or less every day, and Ayi Tenggana found out that Datang's management of coins was so chaotic. Some bad money is doped with too many impurities such as tin and iron, and the color is unsightly; Some bad money is as light as paper, and it can't reach its due weight at all.

Ayitengna asked Jian Ruoxi, who has been in business for many years, where does the evil money come from? Jian Ruoxi told her that although the Tang Dynasty prohibits private minting of coins, because there is always a shortage of money in the market, the imperial court has actually always turned a blind eye to private minting. And some black-hearted people wantonly mint evil money to make profits from it. If there is too much bad money, the court can't stand it, so it will be treated and suppressed. But as soon as the limelight passes, bad money comes back, and it is always impossible to eradicate the roots.

Ayi Tenggena was curious about why there was a shortage of money in the market, but Jian Ruoxi couldn't say clearly. She praised Fei Langjun for acting fairly, although the Tingzhou silver coins are also privately minted coins, they can be in good condition and have sufficient weight, which is more exquisite than the official minted Tongbao, so it will become more and more popular.

Although Aitengna's knowledge of bad money is not as good as Jian Ruoxi's, she has a ban on bad money. The reason for the stage, but she is clear.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the festive atmosphere of celebrating the New Year has not yet dissipated, and the Chang'an court is turbulent. And the source of the turmoil was the Zichen discussion after the Yuan Dynasty meeting.

Ayi Tenggana listened to Xiao Langjun and said that when Zichen was discussing politics, Tian Khan asked the ministers about their opinions on the "border generals and kings". Everyone in the palace agreed with the proposal of sealing the king, but on the key issue of who to be the king, they each had their own opinions: the crown prince Li Heng strongly recommended An Lushan and Wang Zhengjian; Yang Guozhong thought that An Lushan's new defeat in the Khitan should not be crowned king, and Wang Zheng saw that his military achievements were not as good as Geshuhan's stone castle victory, so he should let Xian; Li Linfu re-mentioned the expedition to Xiao Bolu and pushed Gao Xianzhi.

Due to the disagreement of the important ministers, the three parties in the Zichen Hall fought in the dark and attacked each other endlessly. In the end, Tian Khan accepted Li Linfu's proposal to postpone the title of border general.

After deciding to shelve the proposal of the border general to be crowned king, Li Linfu once again proposed the military strategy of the Anxi army to conquer Tibet, but was obstructed by Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong believes that Ge Shuhan has recovered the Jiuqu Land, and the Jiannan Army is also passing through the Southern Zhao. Relying on the two armies of Longyou and Jiannan was enough to suppress the ambitions of Tubo, and there was no need to spend money and food to implement the expeditionary strategy of the Anxi army.

In order to completely stop Li Linfu's proposal, Yang Guozhong also carefully calculated the accounts in front of the sage, saying that due to the successive wars, the taxes accumulated in Zuozang could only support two large-scale expeditions at the same time. If the Anxi army consumes a lot of money and food, not only will the state be tight, but I am afraid that the use in the palace will have to be reduced.

In the face of Yang Guozhong's obstruction, Li Linfu immediately counterattacked, pointing out that the reason why the wealth in Zuo Zangzhong increased slowly, and that it was Yang Guozhong's responsibility to go out more and enter less. Since Yang Guozhong dictated the affairs of the branch, he was lazy in government, and bad money was prevalent in the Jianghuai area. The wealthy merchants and traitors in the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, like wild cats that smell fishy, sent people to Jianghuai to secretly buy evil money at the price of five evil coins for one Kaiyuan Tongbao, and then mixed the bad money with good money and transported it back to Chang'an and other places for use. The people were overwhelmed, and the court's finances and taxes were also disturbed.

Without waiting for Yang Guozhong to distinguish it, Li Linfu struck while the iron was hot, took out the notes that had already been written, and implored the Heavenly Khan to issue an edict to rectify the world's coins and prohibit evil money.

After the ban on bad money was issued, Li Linfu's recitals also flowed out of the court and dispersed among the people. Aitenga had read it by heart several times, and some of the fragments could still be recited: "...... Fushimi uses money in the market, and it is indiscriminate, and there is iron and tin, that is, it is not publicly minted. Damage the righteous path, confuse the common people, copper and tin are messy, fake money is abundant, the punishment is gradually lost in the department, and the clear punishment is not imposed on the guard. The three cities of Dijing, people are mixed from all directions, obscene and skillful, and extravagant and vulgar. As for the stagnation of businessmen, the collection of rich people, and the merger of people, increase their savings year by year; Poor people, the day is empty......"

Although Tian Khan favored Yang Guozhong, he hated the overflow of evil money. During the Kaiyuan period, Tian Khan asked the famous minister Song Jing to make great efforts to rectify the evil money. Although in the end, Song Jing offended the powerful by rectifying the evil money, and the Heavenly Khan had to depose him to pacify the world, but finally temporarily suppressed the circulation of the evil money.

Now Li Linfu once again touched the sore spot of Tian Khan, and linked the flood of evil money with Yang Guozhong, who was also the "inner envoy of coinage", and immediately gained the upper hand in Zichen's political discussion. Li Linfu's henchman Wang Jiao also fanned the flames, on the one hand, angrily denouncing the evil consequences caused by the flood of bad money to the state and people's livelihood, and on the other hand, accusing Yang Guozhong of mismanaging Zuo Tibet and wasting the state treasury out of thin air.

Ayitengna heard Xiao Langjun say that although Tian Khan is becoming more and more neglectful, he still attaches great importance to military politics and finance and taxation. Therefore, despite Yang Guozhong's obstruction, Tian Khan still agreed to Li Linfu's request, and decided to take out 400,000 horses of silk and 500,000 pieces of money from Zuozang, and promised to give it to three months to order the merchants in the world to exchange the evil money in their hands at the ratio of ten to one to the local government to exchange it for the official Kaiyuan Tongbao. After three months, if anyone uses bad money, they will be arrested and convicted.

Tian Khan also said that if Li Linfu could successfully ban the evil money and increase the income of Zuozang, he would agree to the strategy of the Anxi army's expedition to Tibet.

When Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong had a fierce confrontation over the management of evil money, the crown prince Li Heng watched the fire from the other side and protected himself and was not involved.

After the edict of Tian Khan and the Political Hall to exchange evil money was officially issued, Ai Tenggana once asked Xiao Langjun whether Li Linfu's methods could ban evil money.

Xiao Langjun frowned and thought for a long time before replying: "The face value of copper coins is too small, and the coinage will not only fail to collect seigniorage, but will lose money, and the imperial court is naturally reluctant to mint more, which leads to less money and more goods, and insufficient circulation, which is the root cause of the flood of bad money." If you don't start from the root, even if Song Jing is resurrected, it will not be good to deal with bad money. What's more, the Yang family and other imperial relatives have been involved in it, and the evil money circulating in the Jianghuai area is six or seven out of ten transported to the capital by the merchants of wealthy and powerful families such as Hongnong Pavilion and Wenxitang, and they only need to change hands to have huge profits. At this moment, in order to defeat Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu wants to block the financial path of these people. Those powerful whose interests have been damaged will definitely fight back. They were able to bring down Song Jing back then, and now they can stumble Li Linfu. Even if Li Xiang has three heads and six arms, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop these people's open guns and arrows. Besides, in the Jianghuai market, five evil coins are used for one Kaiyuan Tongbao, and now Li Linfu actually wants to exchange one official minted coin for ten evil coins, and he is still thinking about returning the evil money to the furnace and recasting it, so as to make a big profit from it. How can we govern the country well if we govern the country with selfishness? ”
