"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xuande entered Yizhou, and issued a hundred coins on a large scale, and within a few months, the Shu Han regime had sufficient treasury, but the people of Shu were suffering, and the grain they worked hard to cultivate could have been exchanged for a hundred copper coins, but in the end there was only one in his hand, what is the difference between Liu Bei's move and robbing? It is said that this person is benevolent, and from this incident alone, I know that this is a person who does not care about the people's livelihood and is sanctimonious! ”

Wang Mai's words echoed in the main hall and also sounded in Li Er's ears, he looked up at him with some difficulty, but he did not hesitate to look at him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The two eyes met in the air, and the wild horse that Li Er thought he was tame was now stumbling again, and the scene was suddenly a little embarrassing.

Everyone is familiar with the history books, most of them know that period of history, Liu Bei promised the soldiers to enter the city in order to attack the CD after not taking a penny, all the rewards to the generals, which allowed the future Shu Han forces to take root in Yizhou. However, because all the money in the CD treasury was rewarded, the nascent regime was struggling, so it was the move to issue 100 coins.

The reason why copper became the currency in circulation in ancient times is that it has a certain value in itself, and even if the currency depreciates, in the worst case, all the copper coins can be melted down and sold as metal. However, Liu Bei issued a straight hundred coins, one copper coin is equal to the original hundred, if he can adhere to this monetary policy, it will be fine, not long after, the new currency system was abolished, this move made thousands of Yizhou people bankrupt.

The Shu Han regime has always been a force full of internal contradictions, Liu Bei as an outsider can stand on his feet completely by force, after Liu Bei's death, it was Zhuge Liang who was in power, he relied on his clever political skills to force the local resistance in Yizhou, but as soon as he died, the contradiction could no longer be suppressed, and the later Shu Han finally perished in internal and external troubles, and the later lord Liu Chan also left a famous saying that he could not think of Shu.

The people of the Tang Dynasty understood the economy better than they imagined, they just didn't understand those economic terms, such a simple truth even the old man who sold Hu cakes in Chang'an West City also understood, but as the saying goes, people die for money, birds die for food, Li Er's current situation is that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, anyway, he is not the heir of orthodoxy, why should he be idle? Wang Mai stared at Li Er deadly, waiting for his answer, whether the emperor of the ages had the courage to give up this golden mountain in his hands.

The scene was silent, everyone was waiting for Li Er's attitude, and from time to time some people put complicated eyes on Wang Mai, and they had seen a lot of high-sounding words, but the truth of the world could not be explained by these few words. The so-called standing and talking does not hurt his back, Li Er is now short of money again, and it is simply unrealistic for him to give up the fat at his fingertips. However, no one dares to stand up and say that we just want to be so shameless for nothing, and some words can only be put in our hearts and cannot be said.

"Ahem......" Fang Xuanling coughed, raised his head and stared straight at Wang Mai, "Wang Tejin, can you know how much the palace uses every year?" "Lao Fang's words are more straightforward, you Wang Mai don't know the price of firewood and rice, so you gave up this gold mountain, where to fill such a big hole.

Wang Mai smiled: "Although I don't know the specific number, it must not be a small number." ”

"Since Wang Tejin knows that this is not a small number, is there a solution?" Fang Xuanling asked.

"Hehe...... Wang Mai opened his mouth and smiled, but did not answer.

Li Er suddenly woke up when he saw Wang Mai's expression, this person is the God of Wealth in the world, famous for making money, no wonder he dares to make nonsense today, it turns out that he has a target. Thinking of this, the lines on Li Er's face softened a lot, and he said slowly: "The production process of Kaiyuan Tongbao is complicated, and the money is very slow, and a coinage workshop can only produce a few thousand copper coins a year, which is not too big. ”

Only a few thousand? Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then nodded, the more elaborate things are, the more difficult it is to produce, and it is natural that the amount of money is so low.

Although the strict decree promulgated by the imperial court prohibits private casting, but the profit is too high, in order to eliminate private money, this time Kaiyuan Tongbao uses the best technology to produce, this is the best anti-counterfeiting logo, the general kiln can not afford such a large cost, this move will greatly eliminate the hidden danger of private copper coins, which also caused a very low output of new money.

"It's just a few thousand," Wang Mai shook his head, "It's a little meaning." ”

If these words come out of other people's mouths, everyone will definitely take them as crazy words, but the person who spoke was Wang Mai, and his most famous means was to make money, from being penniless to having a lot of money, it only took a few years, and the people here could not compare with each other. Chang'an's now popular brimmed hat is from his hand, borrowing the opportunity of the army to enter the city, this kind of good-looking and practical hat has almost become the standard for the people of Chang'an to go out in the summer, and even the people present are almost a hand. This alone has brought thousands of benefits, which is what Yu Wenshi and himself said, Chang'an City is well known, and it is said that this Wang Wheat is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and the money will follow wherever he goes.

"Hahaha......" Li Er laughed loudly, "A mountain of gold is placed in front of him, but the lone king looks at it as if he has nothing, but instead goes to ask for some money foundry, which is really a bit of a rat's eye." ”

Wang Mai glanced down at himself, as if Li Er had regarded himself as a glittering gold coin.

"In this way," Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up as he twisted his beard, "His Royal Highness King Qin should enter the palace overnight to resign from His Majesty, and he must make it clear that no one should have the right to mint coins except for the imperial court......"

, Wang Mai instantly understood the intention of the old house, this guy is an old fox, Li Er can endure the pain of thousands of incomes, but when it comes to Pei Lin and Li Yuanji, it is a piece of flesh in the heart, poison! If Li Er let Lao Li take back his fame, he not only left a reputation for cherishing the people's livelihood and not being greedy for wealth and wealth, but also hit his political opponents, and most importantly, he further showed his father and the court that he had no political ambitions and killed three birds with one stone!

Li Er stood up with some excitement, with a smug smile on his face: "This is very good, now I will enter the palace to meet my father." He set his eyes on Wang Mai again: "You go with me!" This matter should not be too late, and he is very confident that he will persuade his father to take back his fate, after all, for the imperial court to increase the income of tens of thousands of yuan, his father has absolutely no reason to refuse. As for Pei Lin and Li Yuanji, Li Er sneered, he gave up, and he didn't have the courage to dare to grasp this matter and not let go. Thinking of Pei Lian's annoying face, Li Er's heart rose with endless pleasure.
