Chapter Eighty-Three: Don't Break Out of the Currency System III
readx;?ā Wang Yuanbao is a side branch of the Taiyuan Wang family, but because his grandparents are in the middle of the road, he is displaced and has lost contact with the Taiyuan ancestral hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info [Fengyun Novel Reading] He is bent on recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, but he has no way to recognize his relatives. I hope that Your Majesty will be able to call the shots. As for Fei Langjun, his request is not troublesome, but he asks His Majesty to allow him to choose his own place of office after passing the election of the ministers. ā
"The threshold of the five surnames and the seven wang ancestral halls is very high, and it is not much lower than that of Daming Palace, and Wang Yuanbao's requirements are not simple." Li Longji was contemplating, but when he saw Gao Lishi secretly nodding Li Heng with his hand, he immediately woke up and said: "However, my son is older than the knees of the queen and queen, and this matter is handled by you, and you will be caught." ā
"If the father doesn't nod, how dare the sons do it at will?" Li Heng's attitude became more and more respectful.
"As for Fei Langjun's appointment, two days ago, Wang Zhengjian sent a recital, imploring his youngest son to return to Beiting Prefecture to take up his post. I think this is a good discussion......" Li Longji said casually.
Li Hengwen's color changed, although he was the crown prince, he did not have the right to supervise the country. All the chapters are at the disposal of the political affairs hall, and he has no right to intervene. Of course, Li Heng has channels to find out a lot of news. But if Li Linfu deliberately didn't let him know, Li Heng would definitely get the news later.
"Father, I like the talent of Fei Langjun very much, and I am thinking of asking my father to allow him to serve in the East Palace, but I don't expect Wang Zheng to be so reluctant to see Fei Langjun." Li Heng pretended to be relaxed.
"Your Majesty, it is human nature that parents love their young sons a lot!" Li Linfu saw the stitches and said.
"Young son?" Li Longji suddenly remembered the heroic appearance of Li Qi, the king of Sheng, and thought thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that if Fei Langjun can really borrow His Majesty's dragon power to ban evil money, he might as well choose his own post first, and then hand it over to His Majesty's Holy Judge." Gao Lishi saw that Li Linfu had something to say, so he hurriedly interjected to intercept him.
"General Gao's idea is good! It not only rewarded Fei Langjun, but also prevented him from making trouble. Li Longji remembered the long and short sentences that Wang Fei recited at the banquet in the pear garden, stroked his beard and smiled: "Brother slave, I deal with it like this, what does Zhongshumen think?" As for the policy of banning evil money, the brother slave should also make a charter. ā
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Li Linfu glanced at Gao Lishi, first flattered, and then said with a straight face: "Your Highness's strategy, it does not cost Zuozang but can calm the evil money, which is a hundred times smarter than a certain one." However, the silver mines in the vast and western provinces of Jiangnan have not yet begun to be mined. The issuance of a large number of gold and silver coins may not be possible for the time being. Now that you already have Tingzhou silver coins, you might as well allow Tingzhou silver coins to be used as an aid to Tongbao, which can be freely exchanged in the market to calm down bad money. Official silver coins can be issued after two or three years when the silver mines are sufficient. ā
"The words of the elder brother are the way of the old man to seek the country." Li Long was also a little worried about the unforeseen consequences of rashly minting silver coins: "Yang Qing, what do you think? ā
"Well......" The development of things completely exceeded Yang Guozhong's expectations. He originally wanted the "Wanmin Petition" concocted by Ji Wen to challenge Li Linfu's power and build momentum for the future worship, but he didn't expect that the limelight was stolen by Li Heng. Yang Guozhong subconsciously wanted to deny Li Heng's recital, but he really couldn't understand the difference between minting silver coins and not minting silver coins.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has no objection." Thinking that there were still hundreds of thousands of bad money hoarded in the Hongnong Pavilion, Yang Guozhong thought about it and decided to agree with Li Heng's strategy first.
"Good! General Gao, the edict was drafted by the scholars. Brother, I'll take care of the rest! ā
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Seeing that the three of them agreed with this policy, Li Longji relaxed. The spring light is intoxicating, it is the time to play, and the prohibition of bad money has been tossed for a long time, and he is really too lazy to spend any effort on this matter.
"Your Majesty, if you don't use Zuozang to immediately ban evil money, the military strategy of the Anxi Army will be unhindered!" Li Linfu's thinking is very clear, and he has never forgotten what his original intention was in proposing to ban bad money.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong was about to speak out to stop him, but was stopped by Li Longji with a wave of his hand.
"Tubo is unruly, let the Anxi Army and the Longyou Army send troops to attack together! I don't believe it, I dare to disobey the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty in the future! "Li Longji's heart is still as hot as it was 30 years ago.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Guozhong saw that he couldn't do anything, so he hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Nanzhao Xingbing committed my Tang Dynasty, which was also instigated by Tubo. Weichen implored His Majesty to allow the Jiannan Army to continue attacking Nanzhao! ā
"Accurate!" Li Longji's aging body suddenly burst out with infinite ambition.
Seeing the sage's heart to expand the border again, Gao Lishi didn't know whether to be happy or sad: "Fei Langjun, your strategy may indeed be able to calm the evil money turmoil, but the bad money is banned, and the beacon fire at the border is about to be ignited again, I don't know if you expected it in advance?" Although Datang is strong, if you lose a few battles in a row, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it! ā
More than ten days ago, in the name of thanking and gifting cherries, Wang Fei brought many valuable gifts to visit Gao Lishi, and begged him to secretly help Li Heng when he took out the forbidden evil money.
At that time, Gao Lishi asked Wang Fei where he wanted to take office. When Wang Fei said his answer, Gao Lishi couldn't help but praise him for his good vision. Gao Lishi already knew about Wang Zhengjian's recital, but he was convinced that Wang Fei would never obey his father's orders to leave Chang'an.
At this moment, without the help of Gao Lishi, the song has been successfully passed, and Gao Lishi has taken a look at Wang Fei's talent and temperament. While feeling that Wang Fei was worried about the country and the people, Gao Lishi couldn't help but be a little worried about whether there would be unpredictable twists and turns in the border war.
"Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan are both famous generals, so there should be no surprises. Although Yang Guozhong is not familiar with military affairs, Nanzhao is weak and should be safe. Colliers comforted himself. Moreover, what has made him feel uneasy recently is not the bad money turmoil and the border war, but the Longwu general Chen Xuanli.
According to the secret report of the spies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chen Xuanli has frequently summoned the generals of the Longwu Army to drink alcohol recently, which is a bit abnormal. Although he was not worried that Chen Xuanli, who had known him for many years, would rebel, Gao Lishi could not help but investigate clearly. After all, for the saint, the biggest threat is never in the ethereal sky, but in the palace forbidden......
The voices are full of voices and rubbing shoulders.
After the promulgation of the new edict on the exchange of bad money, the square in front of the Suyeju hot pot restaurant was once again crowded with people. Fortunately, the guys at the hot pot restaurant have long been experienced, and they are familiar with the number queue.
In fact, there are only a few sentences in the new edict, that is, the sage and the government hall officially recognized Tingzhou silver coins as auxiliary coins, and allowed all merchants and ordinary people to exchange bad money for official coins of Kaiyuan Tongbao or Tingzhou silver coins at the shops of Ruyiju or Suyeju within one month. After this period, those who dare to use evil money will be punished with 20 rods and half of their property will be fined once they are discovered! And from the date of the promulgation of the decree, those who dare to make new evil money will be exiled to Beiting to fill the army!
As soon as the edict came out, it was like pouring a scoop of water in an oil pot, and the eastern and western cities of Chang'an City immediately boiled. Four for one, that is to say, if you exchange bad money for good money, not only will you not suffer, but you can also make a little profit, which is much more cost-effective than the previous ten for one!
As for the Tingzhou silver coins, the shops in the East Market have relatively little contact, and those merchants in the West Market who often send caravans to the west of the city know that this is a good thing! The fineness is good, the weight is sufficient, the craftsmanship is also exquisite, and there are vertical lines around the silver coin, which can prevent people from stealing silver.
Among the Tingzhou silver coins, the largest face value can be used as a regular coin, and there are also Baiwen silver coins and Shiwen silver coins below, which are much lighter to carry than copper coins.
The merchants were a little worried before, after all, the imperial court did not officially recognize the status of the Tingzhou silver coin, and everyone could only mix it with the Sogdian gold and silver coins from the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms. Now that the sage has issued an edict, officially treating the Tingzhou silver coin as an official currency, it is naturally more reassuring.
Driven by huge profits, as soon as the edict was issued, countless people rushed to Suyeju hot pot restaurant or Ruyiju shop to exchange bad money, for fear that the imperial edict would change.
Among the people who came to exchange, half of them were not at ease with the Tingzhou silver coins, and still insisted on Kaiyuan Tongbao; The rest of the people made up their minds and insisted on exchanging silver coins.
Before the exchange began, Su Yeju and Ruyiju announced at the same time that if they did not exchange coins directly, they could exchange the bad money for "vouchers" at a ratio of three to one, with which they could spend at will at will by Suyeju and Ruyiju.
Although the redemption ratio of vouchers is moving, everyone is still not at ease with the colorful pieces of paper. Only a handful of people who are particularly brave exchange their bad money for vouchers and immediately go to a hot pot restaurant for a feast or buy a few extravagant glassware at Ruyiju. Seeing that Su Yeju and Ruyiju did not refuse the vouchers, the number of people who redeemed the vouchers increased. After all, with vouchers, the price of glassware is much lower than before!
The willow breeze blows on the face, gentle as silk.
On the third floor of the Su Yeju hot pot restaurant, Wang Fei, Ashina's sister and brother and Ayi Tenggena gathered in Wang Fei's office, overlooking the small square in front of the hot pot restaurant.
Gao Xiangui and Zhang Dejia also made an appointment to come over together to have a good time, but when they were about to leave, Gao Xiangui was hard-pulled by the robe and went to drink. Zhang Dejia, who was waiting for Gao Xiangui to come with him, also suddenly changed his mind and decided to take the opportunity to get acquainted with a few more generals of the Longwu Army, so both of them broke the appointment.
Standing on the left side of Wang Fei, Ashina Wenxia was wearing a curly-brimmed hat and a narrow-sleeved bearded suit, looking extremely capable. She saw her sister leaning on Wang Fei's right side whispering to her sweetheart, and she was annoyed, so she opened her lips and asked in a loud voice: "Brother Fei, I still don't understand after thinking about it for a long time, why can you ban evil money by exchanging silver coins?" ā
"Sister, listening to Brother Fei, Yiyue has already figured out the mystery, why don't you ask her to tell us about it?" Ashina, who was chatting and laughing with Wang Fei, saw her sister interjecting, so she replied with a smile.
Ashina Wenxia stared at her sister who was in a happy mood, biting her lip, sullen. Ai Tenggena, who was standing on the right side of Ashina's clouds, saw that the atmosphere was not right, and bowed her head and said nothing.
"Second sister, what the eldest sister said is right, Yi Yue and Brother Fei are inseparable, and they know a lot about quelling evil money, and it is best for her to say it." The simple Ashina Ji Ang didn't notice the subtle thoughts of the two sisters at all, and said to herself.
