Li Chengqian nodded and continued: "Then there is the military, the prosperity of a country is closely related to its national defense strength, and the so-called rich country and strong army refer to this principle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut my Datang seems to be politically fluent, but in fact? You know better than I do. ”

After a pause, he pointed to the first circle and said: "The people are healthy, I don't need to say this, the Tang Dynasty is still humane, the people have a lot of land, and there have been few annexations in recent years, but there are some disasters, the imperial court assistance is timely, and there are no dangers, but I don't know after a few years, after all, there are a number of fields, but people are constantly growing." Xu felt that he had run away, and clicked the circle with a brush and said: "It is this economic prosperity that makes it inevitable for children to say more." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the side and drew three circles: "The so-called trading, there are buying and selling, this business is inseparable from a word of money, others say that what Xu sees is those copper coins, silver coins or money, and what the child sees is a kind of letter, such as silk, this thing can be used as a medium for trading in Datang, but out of Datang, it becomes cloth, and there is no trace of other uses."

When all the Datang people think that this is money, then he is money, but what is the guarantee for it? It is the imperial court, the imperial court said that he was money, and the people also thought that he was money, so this thing became money, this is the letter of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Er carefully crumpled Li Chengqian's words, analyzed them word by word, and nodded to signal him to continue.

"Next, we talk about copper, copper is not only used in Datang, but also used in surrounding countries, but it is used very little, such as Fanbang, they have always liked gold and silver, and few like copper coins, this copper coin is in Datang There is a letter, and in the rest of the country, credit is not enough, so we have to use something more trustworthy than copper money, such as silver, such as gold."

"So in the end, where is the problem of Datang?"

"System ~ Datang's economy does not have a perfect system, people always hide money, such as you, you hide the copper money in the inner library, but the same value of silk or equivalent grain to spend, this will be a problem, the outside of the silk gradually increases, the copper money will slowly decrease, then the copper money begins to become valuable, and the silk begins to become worthless, you used a copper coin for a foot of silk cloth at the beginning, but after ten years, you are using the same copper coin, but you can exchange ten feet of silk cloth, This will cause the people to earn the same silk cloth as before, and when you fall, you will find that the people will not be able to live. ”

Li Er's eyes widened, and he said with some fear: "Silk cloth, it's starting to be worthless." ”

"No~ It's not that the silk cloth has become worthless, but that the copper money has become too valuable, but in fact, the value of the two goods is still the same, but the merchant prefers to receive copper money instead of silk cloth. Copper for silver, silver for gold is the same thing. ”

Li Er nodded and smelled: "Then we can mint more copper coins?" ”

Li Chengqian shook his head again: "This is another problem, because when the new copper coins first enter the market, they are always more expensive than the old copper coins, so when you issue new copper coins, you will find a very serious problem, the copper coins that were hidden before began to be active in the market, but your newly minted copper coins have disappeared, and there may be an effect at first, but with more and more copper coins minted, the market is saturated, and the problem has reappeared." ”

"So what?"

Li Chengqian laughed at this time: "So instead of letting them hide their own money, let's help them save money, which is another problem, a problem that I have always paid attention to." ”

Looking at Li Er, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Daddy, for example, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi saved three million copper coins in our house, and Uncle Liu never saved money at home, but just put the money in his own house, if one day Uncle Liu said that he wanted to be the emperor, what would Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi do?" Would he have thought that his money was still with us? If Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wei Chi were replaced by ordinary people, how would those people choose? ”

This question is definitely the question that Li Er has the most to do with you, his words are like a huge bomb still in Li Er's heart, what kind of scene will it really be like at that time, the money of the people of the world is gathered with him, will he worry about money in the future? What's not money that can't be solved? No food, buy! There is no army! Buy! No weapons! Buy! If there is really a problem, it must be that it is not enough to give, and it is good to add money?

"So, I'm not going to be short of money in the future?"

Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Er, this is what he is really worried about, the bank is not afraid of robbers, how much can robbers be stronger? Li Er is different, can he still have a way to live if he robs those people?

"If you dare to stretch out your hand, the next day will definitely be boring."

Li Er couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly he realized something, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Then, is there a way?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Borrow!" ”

"Borrow?"

"Yes, it is to borrow, borrow from the people, borrow from large families, borrow from five surnames and seven sects, their money is in our house, but we can't move, because they may take it away at any time, if there is no money when you take it, you will go crazy, no one wants to see this kind of thing, so, except for a small part of the money in the money bank, most of it must be kept, and when it comes to the war and famine, all the money must be kept, not a penny less, because what we do is a letter, if you lose the letter, don't say it is the Li family, Even if it is the king of heaven, they dare to rebel. ”

Li Er frowned and thought for a while, and then laughed.

"So, you're short of money right now? And it's very lacking, but this one alone is not enough to make you so aggressive, what else do you want to do, let's talk about it. ”

Li Chengqian shook his head, and then said: "I probably just have an idea, not sure yet, there are many problems now, for example, our silver is always insufficient, but what I lack happens to be silver, if you can give me a lot of silver mines, within ten years, I will be able to handle this matter." After speaking, he smiled at Li Er, took out four silver coins from his pocket and put them on the paper.

This is what the son commanded to be the prisoner to do.

Li Er carefully looked at the silver coin for a while, because it was newly made, the silver coin was very new, the fineness was much better than the ordinary silver cake, the size of the silver coin dragon's eye, the thickness was like two copper coins combined, the other two were slightly larger, the style was the same, the front was written Datang Tongbao, and the back was painted with Double Dragon Fighting for Pearls, but if you look closely, the pattern is also a little different, the first one is written with one coin, the second one is written with two coins, the third is five coins, and the fourth is one or two.

Even if you exchange this kind of silver for pure silver, you are willing.

"Wouldn't it be enough to make one or two? Why do you have to do so many tricks? ”

"It's a good cost~ You see, 1 plus 2 is three, 2 plus 2 is four, 1 plus 5 is six, 2 plus 5 is seven, 10 to 2 is eight, 10 to 1 is nine, in this way, no matter how much money you buy, it can be easily broken, but the premise of this thing is that I have enough silver, do you see that the silver is brighter than ordinary silver? These three silver coins add up to only one or two five silver consumption, and the remaining three are copper, throwing away a penny of fire consumption, every two or eight coins of silver net a penny, the style is novel, it can be mass-produced with equipment, and the most important thing is that it cannot be imitated, as long as it is imitated, it can be easily seen. ”

At this time, the silver is just poured into a cake or ingot-shaped, divided into one tael, ten taels, are used in bulk transactions, as long as the silver can be refined, it can be imitated, but this silver dollar is not good, whether it is the process or the material, the discerning person can see it at a glance.

Li Er put a few silver coins back into his collar, and then stayed for a while and said, "How long?" ”

Li Chengqian stretched out a hand and flipped it back and forth, this plan could not take a short time, but the biggest difficulty was silver, but I vaguely remembered a few silver mines, but it was not easy to mine in the wilderness, and now there is no mechanical mining like in later generations, so the accumulation speed will definitely slow down.

"What if you exchange old silver for new silver?"

Li Chengqian shook his head when he heard this, this method is just a trial After he has enough silver to pave the way, when the time comes, the decree will abolish the universal silver, and it can only be realized by exchanging silver for silver coins, and there may not be anyone in the middle who will come out to use the means.

He also felt that this matter was a little unreliable, shook his head, wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, turned around and walked out the door.

Li Chengqian sat on the spot, looked at the two drawings on the ground, gritted his teeth, turned the three circles into a cake, and then put some dots on it as sesame seeds, and let out a long breath.

"Let's draw you a pie first, so I don't make a mess, bank? That's such an easy thing, don't even think about it for thirty or fifty years, but Qianzhuang is a good thing, you can try this first~"

"Where do you know these things?"

Li Er is always elusive, and at some point he appeared in front of Li Chengqian and asked, suddenly raised his head, and found that Li Er asked himself with red eyes, and without a trace, he gently crossed out the two vivid flatbreads drawn on the paper with a pen, and said with a smile: "Hehe~ I dreamed again a few days ago." ”

*********************

Dreaming is probably not credible, Li Er didn't expect that bastard boy to tell the truth, but he was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, his question seemed inadvertent, but it really woke up Li Chengqian, he was a little too much of the limelight for a while, this is not good, making a lot of money in a muffled voice is what he needs to do.

Yi Cuilou started to post again, and this time there was one more signature-Li Xiuning.

Almost everyone in Chang'an City knows that the behind-the-scenes boss of Yicuilou is Li Xiuning, but this time he took it out in a grand manner, but he took this matter seriously, and some people who were originally eyeing Yicuilou also had a plan in their hearts, which Li Xiuning never expected, originally she just wanted to help that little nephew.

Yicuilou began to dress up again, all the flowers and plants in the square were leveled and replaced with a set of tables and stools, and the adjacent upstairs also removed the windows and replaced them with open private rooms.

After Li Xiuning saw this, he suddenly thought that if the window on the attic was demolished and replaced with this, I was afraid that it would take a lot of two trips, and he thought to himself, so he changed it while the craftsman was there, which made Yuwen Wenyuan unhappy for a while, and it seemed that this place had really become a good sister's home.
