Chapter 278: Tang Fed

Government soldiers like Wang Tiezhu, of course, will not be just an exception, as more and more Guanzhong soldiers are withdrawn from Tuyuhun, I don't know how many such things will happen every day.

The amount of salt is limited, but the amount of salt can be unlimited, and at first everyone was aware of the difference, but as the speed of salt extraction is getting slower and slower, more and more merchants have tasted what is wrong.

Just like the ticket number run at the end of the Qing Dynasty, once the ticket number has a little turmoil, the people will desperately rush to replace the silver ticket in their hands with copper coins, and finally let the ticket number that could have been supported collapse with a bang.

The problems faced by the Green Gang are similar now, originally a large number of businessmen had salt in their hands and wanted to use it as currency, but when they saw that the exchange was not smooth now, they went to the Green Gang to exchange salt, and it was too late for the salt to be sold now, so naturally no one would buy it, and it was not surprising that the exchange power of the salt was falling again and again.

Who are the people who use the salt? In addition to those powerful businessmen, there are more people who have just come down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to kill talents, and it is not for nothing that they kill people on the spur of the moment.

This is actually nothing, the real trouble is still on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Guanzhong Mansion is expensive, and the battle will be withdrawn, and the scattered villages and counties will not be organized, but the border army and the vassal army will not have this treatment, and the salt in their hands is more than twice that of the Guanzhong government soldiers.

Just imagine, for example, the minority armies such as the party, the Qianghu, and the Turks, although they must fulfill their obligations to help the Tang Dynasty fight under the political system of the Heavenly Khan, but since ancient times, the emperor has not sent hungry soldiers, and the basic military salary must be paid, and the spoils of my own strong war must always belong to me.

This is undoubtedly intolerable to Li Shimin, at this time his mentality has completely collapsed, and he is standing in front of Qin Hao with a hideous face pointing at his nose and scolding!

The gentle and majestic Tian Khan on weekdays is gone, and Li Shimin at this time is like a psychopath, with a red face and a thick neck, green tendons bulging on his forehead, and spitting stars flying everywhere, making people wonder if he will eat Qin Hao raw in the next moment.

"You already knew that, didn't you! You already knew it, didn't you, you've been watching my jokes! Who gave you such courage, didn't you say that you agreed to be led by the Ministry of Civil Affairs? I've slaughtered you!! ”

Qin Hao muttered in his heart speechlessly: "Why am I looking for you eight times a day, it's you who can't see me, what can I do?" ”

"Holy Lord, what the minister said that day was to agree, 10 million a year."

"You ......"

Li Shimin also knows that he is at a loss, but who made him the emperor, it is a kick to go up, what level of martial arts is Li Shimin, this kick is so suspenseful that Qin Hao kicked and vomited blood, but Qin Hao didn't dare to protest, it's okay to be hippie smiling on weekdays, this juncture is really life-threatening, I heard that Li Chengqian was beaten by him with only half a life, and he is not his own son.

"I don't care, the prince said that you have a back hand, then let me do it, no matter what method you use, you must give me to appease the army's heart, and I will support you in whatever you want, and after the matter is completed, I will directly appoint you as the marquis, if you can't be appeased, I will put you, five! Horse! Divide! Corpse! ”

Qin Hao nodded calmly, knowing that Li Shimin was absolutely serious this time, in fact, if the matter could not be properly resolved this time, without Li Shimin's action, the angry government soldiers would be able to swallow him, the leader of the Green Gang, alive.

Qin Hao rubbed his stomach, which had just been kicked, and asked with a bitter face, "There are two ways to solve it, the first is that the minister will find a way to take back all the salt leads, let's treat it as if there has never been such a thing as salt leads, and the second way, all the salt leads will not be taken back, and find a way to make it still stable at this price." ”

Li Shimin actually regretted it after kicking that kick, for fear that he would accidentally kick his baby bump, and at the same time, his heart softened and quickly calmed down, after all, this is Li Shimin.

"I heard the prince say before, according to your assumptions, this salt will slowly evolve into a paper money similar to copper coins, but there is a risk in this, is it, similar to today?"

Qin Hao said seriously: "It's much more serious than today, and when that day comes, once the paper money system collapses, the economy of the world will collapse, and it will be easy to change the dynasty." ”

"How to avoid and control this risk? You should have an idea in your heart, talk to me about it, and let me weigh it. ”

Li Shimin is Li Shimin after all, he has the ambition and courage that ordinary emperors do not have, he knows what the word paper money means to Datang, look at the smooth operation of Tuguhun this time, and when the time comes, whether it is military or civil, it will not be a problem for Datang's national strength to rise several times, so although he was made angry by this incident, he still wants to try it, and he is obviously more inclined to the second method.

Qin Hao smiled bitterly: "In fact, it is simple to prevent risks, just don't blindly seal the imperial court, but this is the most difficult place, with the lesson of this time, the minister believes that the wise and martial arts are like the saints, and there will be no more problems in the future, but I am afraid that the descendants of future generations will not be good, and they will not be able to resist the temptation to spend money when they do it, and the biggest problem is the unrestricted nature of the imperial power, so if the saint wants to choose the second type, the minister suggests starting from His Majesty and establishing the law of the ancestors that will never be abolished in the future. And from the system, future generations do not have the right to print money at will.

Li Shimin is very interested, Qin Hao is worried about what he is worried about, he can get used to himself, but he can't control the descendants of future generations, maybe Li Chengqian can too, but who knows what kind of calf the great-grandson will be, Sima Yi's family in the Three Kingdoms is a masterpiece, but isn't it like a pig when the descendants are descendants.

Is there really anything that restricts the imperial power? Li Shimin was not angry anymore, and he was actually very interested in Qin Hao's suggestion.

"Tell me about it, I'll listen."

"The minister thinks that it is the biggest inappropriate thing for the salt to be issued under the Ministry of the People, and it is possible to build a department with power in the Ministry of the People, or even above the imperial power, to be responsible for the affairs of the salt introduction, but in the same way, this department cannot interfere in anything unrelated to the salt introduction, nor can it be held by one person or several people."

Of course, Qin Hao would not put forward the idea of the council to death, it was no different from looking for death, and continued: "The minister thinks that in this department, everyone should be something that the emperor can't mess with, at least not easily, and the minister suggests that the respected clans should be collectively served, or some old ministers who are too old and have no choice but to give office, and every time they issue additional salt quotes, they must ensure that more than seventy percent of the members agree, and they don't have any other power except for issuing salt quotes on weekdays, and your generation will start to lead by example." ”

Li Shimin thought about many things with a roll of his eyes, and said loudly: "You say that this department is good, but the snake is not headless, after all, there must be someone in charge of the leadership of the entire yamen, and the choice of this person has become a big problem, according to what you said, this person has no power, how can he withstand the pressure of the emperor in later generations?" ”

"The minister thinks that in this dynasty, the emperor should be the most suitable candidate for this department, and future generations can also follow this law, and select the elders of high morality and respect to enter this yamen, so if there is still the disaster of paper money, it is nothing more than two situations, one, the son of heaven in later generations is not good, and countless elders are threatened with swords and soldiers, and second, my Tang Dynasty emperor and clan relatives plus the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all rotten, and the minister thinks that no matter which of the above two appears, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to print paper money."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that this stinky boy was actually beating the emperor's idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was okay, but it could give the old man something to do.

"This yamen... What do you think is a good name? ”

"Uh... What about the Datang Monetary Joint Reserve, referred to as the Tang Fed? ”
