Chapter 163: The Primary Financial System
Li Er was holding his stomach in the Taiji Hall and kept sobbing Malier was laughing, he couldn't breathe anymore, people were often patting Li Er's back, after a violent cough, Li Er finally relieved himself, His Royal Highness's ministers were also secretly relieved, Li Er had tears in the corners of his eyes, and then he was still painfully holding his stomach that had been laughing and said to the ministers in the hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I've never encountered such a funny thing when I'm so old, this is what the folk often say about buying him and helping him count the money, Fu Yun is also a second person,"
Li Er laughed again, but His Royal Highness's ministers couldn't laugh at this time, Li Er's intentions were already obvious, Tuyuhun had become a country to fight, and the difference from previous wars was that this time Li Er had made sufficient preparations, and the death of King Tianzhu was just a signal, a signal to the Tang Dynasty ministers, that is, the war had begun, and the Tang Dynasty should wait for it.
Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji, who gradually settled down, took a thousand steps and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." ”
Li Er waved his hand and said, "Quasi-play!" ”
"Your Majesty, the grassland spent eight million silver coins in the First World War, Luoyang, Chang'an's drought is a little slower this year, but the year is average, Your Majesty has 30,000 or two cuts in agricultural taxes, and Chang'an is surrounded by the fiefdom of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is even more useless, now, this is now."
How is it now? Naturally, there is no money, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, and the fifteen million yuan accumulated from the first year of Zhenguan to last year was like flowing water, Li Chengyan didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were not at home, and he could always find a suitable deal to alleviate his own crisis, about Li Er, Li Chengyan didn't want to care about it, Li Er's inner treasury was much larger than the national treasury, every time he saw the inner library on the edge of the Wude Palace, Li Chengyan was drooling, the gold of the Americas, the silver of the Tang Dynasty, and the picky Li Er did not allow his inner treasury to have a copper coin, I can't wait if the entire inner treasury is made of gold.
"Ahem, the autumn tax is about to come up, and the money in the treasury will probably be able to support it for a while, if it really doesn't work, can you find a promise loan?"
Looking for Li Chengyan to take out a loan, only Li Er dares to say that a dignified monarch borrowed money from his son and wife, and he also owes it to him, but Li Er doesn't think so, everyone knows how much of the commercial tax is being done now, and the entire commercial tax of Zhenguan for three years is already comparable to all the taxes in the twenty years of the emperor, but how many people are in the Tang Dynasty in the three years of Zhenguan, and how many people are in the Tang Dynasty in the twenty years of the wasteland? This is a qualitative difference.
The original intention of the eldest grandson Wuji was to persuade Li Er to fight in the war for two years, and now it is not appropriate to fight, and Datang does not have the financial resources, the first battle of the grassland is simple, but the whole eight million pieces of silver are spent, even if they are smashed, they can smash Jieli to death, and the money for the follow-up development of the grassland is not money, the money for relocation is not money, and the money for disaster relief in various places is not money, and you don't count how much money your academy spends every year? Now the eldest grandson Wuji wants to hide when he sees the public loser, every time he asks for money, it is a lot of money, and people ask for money is a sentence, there is no money, that money, is it a master in the world, we can't afford to provoke it, so they are in trouble, this comes and goes, and the eldest grandson Wuji also has a psychological shadow.
Wei Zheng was angry when he looked at Li Er's indecent appearance on the side, and said loudly to Li Er in a thousand steps: "Minister Wei Zheng has a good performance." ”
Li Erdu's today is not suitable for travel, or it is not suitable to go to the court, Wei Zheng's temper Li Er knows, and looking at Wei Zheng's angry face, he knows that something is wrong, Li Er listened to Wei Zheng say loudly before he spoke.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty's face is the face of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty first laughed out of place today, and then said about the loan, the minister wants to ask, it is just a civil strife, even if it is the Tang Gong who is the mastermind, but what is the reason why His Majesty laughs so much? Moreover, the silver money of His Majesty's inner treasury has reached the roof, and now the entire inner treasury has been repaired four times, and several new treasury rooms have to be built each time, what should His Majesty's money be kept? ”
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng and wanted to laugh, Li Er was not angry, on the contrary, Li Er was very happy, because there was still a person in the court who dared to do something against him, although he was a little annoying, but such a person would always appear when he wanted to show his might.
"Wei Qing may not understand the relationship between the money bank and the state tax now, oh, and the relationship between the treasury and my inner treasury, then I will tell you about it, if you are theorizing with me after listening to it, okay?"
Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment after listening to Li Er's words, and then arched his hand towards Li Eryi: "Listen to the minister."
Li Er drank a cup of tea, worded for a while, and then said to the ministers in the hall: "When it comes to money, it is inseparable from money, from bartering in ancient times to gold, silver and copper, and then to the current gold and silver coins, these are all money, and the original intention of admitting coinage is to unify the market, expel some counterfeit money, bad money, and then admit that he found that he has more money, and then he thinks about whether he can sell loans, one to give some people some opportunities, and the other is to maintain the operation of the bank, and then later, After a few short years, Qianzhuang has become an indispensable part of Datang, haven't you noticed it? Now Datang, no matter where you go, all you need is a small bill of exchange, and you no longer need to run around with heavy copper coins like before? ”
After Li Shimin said this, the courtiers all nodded with deep sympathy.
"Of course, this is only one of them, this is only a small part of the role of the money bank, no matter how much we say for a day, we can't finish it, let's talk about the relationship between my inner treasury and the treasury, since the real inner treasury is full, haven't you noticed one thing, the royal expenditure from the treasury has decreased every year until last year, the royal has not received a penny from the treasury? This includes every time I build a palace, the salaries of the palace people, the rewards of all the lords, and my inner treasury also has a role, stabilizing the money bank! If there is a large-scale cash withdrawal in the bank, then I can immediately transfer the money from the inner treasury, which will not affect the operation of the bank, nor will it affect the expenditure of the treasury, so that it should really be taken from the people and used by the people, I and the eldest grandson Wuji's words are really in my heart, the treasury has no money to borrow, but this loan needs interest, so there are a lot of things that can be done, the country has no money, borrow from the bank, the money bank has no money, you can borrow from the people, the people can't every lack of money, so, This has the national debt that the country admits to say, and once the national debt is opened, the money of the money bank can be operated, and the country can make up for the hole when it is short of money, waiting for the country to have money before returning it to the money bank, and the money bank is returning it to the people, which is called finance. ”
Li Er is a good student, as long as it is related to the country, Li Er will spare no effort to figure it out, from a concept, a little experience, to the current eloquent talk, although a little unknown, but basically this is the meaning.
Wei Zheng is a good courtier, he always wants to do more things for the people, although sometimes he talks more, but it does not affect him to be a decent gentleman, Wei Zheng kowtowed to Li Er, and then got up and retreated to his position without talking.
"Okay, that's all for today's court, I'm tired, let's retreat."
The usual floating dust waved and then shouted: "Retreat." ”
In the midst of everyone's mountain calls, Li Er laughed and returned to the harem. (To be continued.) )
