"Your Majesty, to sum up, if I don't solve this copper coin problem in Datang, my Datang may become a joke through the ages and perish in the prosperous era. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Shi Bufan said to Li Shimin and the ministers of the imperial court.

Shi Bufan just explained to Li Shimin a lot about the current pressure of deflation in Datang has become heavier and heavier, and even has begun to show clues, if it continues to be left unchecked, it may cause the productivity to continue to increase, which will make them face various monetary shortages, and finally deflation is becoming more and more serious. Finally, a violent adjustment of the domestic economy led to the complete collapse of the Tang Dynasty.

This will become a historical joke, the Tang Dynasty will perish at its peak, and it will perish at its peak, isn't this a historical joke? But this joke, in Li Shimin's place, is very not funny, very funny, and Li Shimin's face is so gloomy that it can drip water.

"It's the first time I've heard that a dynasty will fall in a prosperous era, and it will fall because it is too prosperous." Li Shimin finally sighed and said.

Li Shimin really has a long insight and a long posture, and the result introduced by Shi Bufan has made Li Shimin also very stressed. In particular, this result is that there is no experience at all in the past, and there is no reference experience in the past history at all. Because of the extraordinary arrival of time, the productivity progress has been rapid, almost a hundredfold rate, so that their pressure is getting bigger and bigger. Increased productivity brings but is not necessarily happiness, but rather a kind of annoyance, a happy annoyance.

But if this productivity increases, causing the fall of a dynasty, it is enough to make Li Shimin frightened.

"Your Majesty, with the increase in productivity, if we don't solve this shortage of money supply as soon as possible, the consequences will be equally unimaginable." Shi Bufan said.

As Chen Kang, who must rebel at every time, hurriedly opened the spray and said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, this is all the fault of the times. If he hadn't implemented the cooperative approach, how would food production have increased to this point? If he hadn't used the patent, the grain production would not have increased so quickly! Even the way of the assembly line was also proposed by him, and now it has ended up like this, which is a great crime. Therefore, please ask the emperor to severely punish Shi Bufan and behead Shi Bufan. ”

"Idiot!" Many people present scolded Chen Kang in their hearts, including Li Shimin.

It's too late to say this now, it's completely late. Even if Shi Bufan is beheaded, it won't solve the problem. Because what reason did they use to kill Shi Bufan, is it because Shi Bufan will increase grain production, make the commodities on the market abundant, and let prices fall? Is this a reason to kill? If you kill someone for this reason, it is simply a big joke in the world, this is obviously a credit, and it is probably a great credit! If you kill someone for this reason, it will be the same amazing historical joke, and then Li Shimin is afraid that the consequences will be worse than that of Emperor Yang of Sui, because increasing grain production and improving production methods have become sinful, then Li Shimin's reputation is countless times worse than that of Emperor Yang of Sui.

Therefore, killing Shi Bufan is useless at all, but will cause a big historical joke. What's more, they didn't expect such a result before, and the increase in agricultural productivity was something that any feudal dynasty would advocate. But now, in addition to this kind of oolong, Li Shimin is speechless.

But it is simply funny to let his Tang Dynasty perish in the prosperous era. Li Shimin also has to pay attention to this problem, if this deflationary problem is not solved, the consequences will be even worse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you going to do?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to abolish the cooperative production mode, and abolish the patent bill and prohibit the use of assembly line methods, so as to solve the problem once and for all." ”

Li Shimin asked directly: "You let me make an order, and you Fang Qiao will persuade the people to give up?" Fang Qiao, did you do this kind of stupid thing? ”

Fang Xuanling is really bitter in the baby's heart! He really can't think of any way to stop this productivity progress, even if he claims to be resourceful, he can't think of a way to stop the productivity progress. Because productivity progress is irreversible, it may be temporarily suppressed through mass killing, but it will be at least temporarily suppressed, and will not be completely stopped. From a historical macro point of view, the productive forces are in fact inevitable, and they will not regress because of any accidental factors, even if they include foreign invasions and killings, but they will only slow down temporarily, and will not completely regress.

The people have already tasted the increase in production, will they give up? The people's lives have begun to get better and better, and they are all looking forward to a better life! But if you ask them to give up their present good life and go to live that hard life, do you think the people will accept it? Could it be that your emperor said that in order to maintain my country from collapse, I can only wronged the people to live a hard life, do you Li Shimin dare to say that? Li Shimin didn't dare, if he was really willing to say this, the people would immediately rebel.

Fang Xuanling really couldn't find any excuse to stop the progress of productivity, and there was no way to do it. Fang Xuanling simulated many methods, and the best way was to "extinguish" those who knew these methods to increase production. But now that you know the population of these assembly lines, patents, and cooperatives, there are no less than millions of people, can you "wipe out" millions of people?

It's over, it's really over this time, and unless millions of people are wiped out at once, it is impossible to stop the progress of productivity. But Datang will never dare to exterminate millions of people, Li Shimin will not die like this, right? Massacre millions of people in their own country at a time, and the people must first rebel.

"Could it be that my Datang is really going to be blown up in this blazing cooking oil?" Li Shimin hurriedly asked unwillingly.

Then Li Shimin asked: "Shi Bufan, you hurry up and solve this problem, this is the result of your own work, and you have solved it for me yourself." As long as you can solve it, then I will not be stingy with rewards. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't have any good way. To be honest, this kind of situation, no previous dynasty has experience, how do I know how to solve it? We can only cross the river by feeling the stones, and take one step at a time. You asked me to come up with a one-and-done solution, which I didn't. However, I still have a few ways to mitigate and contain, and then I can consider handing it over to future generations to gradually solve. Shi Bufan asked rhetorically.

In fact, the best way to solve this problem is to gradually change the currency standard, that is, to evolve from the copper standard to the gold and silver standard, or even the paper money standard. This is the best solution, but the conditions are not ripe at all. China is not a country rich in gold and silver, and there is not enough gold and silver to implement the gold and silver standard. As for the banknote standard, it is actually based on the credit of the state. In this situation in ancient times, could those officials of the imperial court curb their desires and issue paper money in a planned manner, without indiscriminate issuance? This is also impossible.

"What do you say?" Li Shimin asked.

Shi Bufan replied: "First of all, we have to get a large amount of copper ore. However, our Central Plains is not a large copper-producing region, let alone a place for producing rich ores. So we have to find a way to get it from Luzon, so we need to be able to develop navigation as soon as possible. This nautical academy must train seafaring talents as soon as possible, complete the voyage to Luzon as soon as possible, get back a large amount of rich ore, and meet the needs of copper coin minting. ”

"And this training talents as soon as possible, then I want to spend a lot of money, and there must be corresponding policy support."

Li Shimin asked: "How much budget have you approved for the Navigation Academy?" ”

Shi Bufan said: "Eighty thousand! ”

"Eight...... Wan ......" Li Shimin was also taken aback by this number.

However, Li Shimin quickly remembered that the lack of copper coins caused deflation to be too serious. On the contrary, under the extraordinary toss of the times, the productive forces have developed at a speed hundreds of times faster than the original history, and even dared to do more. Now this productivity is like a man-eating giant beast, which may eat Datang at any time. Li Shimin was scared, really scared. As long as he can get the brawl copper mine as soon as possible to alleviate it, Li Shimin is willing to spend money.

"Okay, 80,000 yuan, I'm approving an additional 20,000 yuan. It must take two years, and I will give Liu Renliang two years, and the first batch of naval and nautical talents must be cultivated. Within five years, I was going to form a large fleet that would be able to establish a real stronghold in that so-called Luzon. ”

Li Shimin was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, if he really let this increasingly huge productivity progress but without enough monetary support, the consequences would be unimaginable. Li Shimin is now temporarily cramming, and he hurriedly hopes to go to Luzon, the Philippines to get the copper mine back as soon as possible, and mint copper coins as soon as possible to meet the needs!

"Your Majesty, this is not enough, there must be corresponding supports. For example, speed up the recruitment of affairs officers as soon as possible, especially those who have a skill, can be hired to enter our Datang official mansion as affairs officers. Not only do we have to train ourselves, but we also have to recruit people who are good at seafaring, and give them the position of clerk so that they can have a sense of honor. For example, the faculty of the Maritime Academy can be given the status of an administrative officer at their discretion. Shi Bufan said.

"Okay, I've agreed!" Li Shimin said.

Fang Xuanling closed his eyes, he knew that this time was over, Li Shimin had been frightened by Shi Bufan, and he completely let Shi Bufan say whatever he wanted. Shi Bufan depicted the result of the progress of productivity and the forced Datang, and Li Shimin was completely frightened and almost panicked. It was the first time Fang Xuanling had seen Li Shimin so flustered, even if Li Shimin was on the battlefield, he was in command. Even Li Shimin personally went to the battlefield to kill the enemy and charged on the front line, even in the face of the enemy's swords, guns and arrows, have you ever been so flustered.

But at present, he was actually frightened by the gluttonous beast of productivity, and Shi Bufan has successfully released the gluttonous beast of productivity progress, which not only forces Datang to move forward, but also constantly forces Datang to take the initiative to change. If Datang does not change, then, as Shi Bufan said, will finally be caught up by the gluttonous beast of productivity, and even violent adjustments, then Datang will become a victim.

Li Shimin was afraid, he always wanted to maintain and inquire about the Li family's country, if he couldn't even maintain the Li family's country, then everything was nothing. Now that productivity is unstoppable, this gluttonous beast is already catching up behind, and Datang has only one way, only to keep moving forward and keep speeding up. Let the overall progress of Datang exceed the progress of productivity, so that it is the real possibility of maintaining safety. If progress slows down, sooner or later it will be devoured by this gluttonous beast called "productivity".

Even Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin so scared, so weak, and so helpless for the first time. Back then, you were afraid that the battlefield would be dangerous, even if Li Shimin was targeted by random arrows several times, and Li Shimin's war horse was killed by random arrows several times. Even later, several of the famous Zhaoling Six Horses died for Li Shimin to block arrows. Back then, even if Li Shimin was shot to death on a war horse, he was only a passing away from death. But Li Shimin was still talking and laughing at that time, as if it didn't matter.

There were so many dangers back then, but they didn't make Li Shimin such a state of affairs. But now Li Shimin is obviously frightened by this gluttonous beast called "productivity", and I am afraid that he is almost peeing his pants. Fang Xuanling looked at Shi Bufan, and he suddenly found that Shi Bufan was much more ruthless than any prince in the troubled times back then. In the troubled times, no prince was enough to scare Li Shimin so out of shape, but now Shi Bufan released this gluttonous beast, which made Li Shimin so panicked.

"It's like opening a Pandora's box, the progress of productivity is unstoppable, Datang can only move forward hard, there can be no retreat, and even progress cannot be slow. If it slows down, Datang will be swallowed up by the passive changes brought about by productivity. Once Datang's progress lags behind the progress of productivity, Datang will erupt in violent adjustments. Such a process can be called a 'revolution'. Li Shimin is also afraid, even if he is eloquent, in this rolling torrent of history, he wants to block it, not to use his mantis arm as a car. ”

"Historical progress has been rapidly promoted by me, and Datang has embarked on a time when it is forced to take the initiative to make progress and change. If it does not change, the rolling torrent of productive forces will drown Datang, and the revolution that breaks out will completely overthrow Datang. To keep the country, Xingyao must let the speed of reform exceed the speed of the progress of the productive forces, otherwise Datang will be swallowed up by the revolution brought about by the progress of the productive forces. ”

Shi Bufan successfully forced Datang to change, if Datang does not follow the change, it will be swallowed up by the torrent of history. Li Shimin had already felt the pressure, and this pressure even made him almost crushed. Li Shimin's "chasing soldiers" in the past were only pursued by him. But the current "chasing soldiers" are chasing and killing his entire Li Tang Jiangshan, but he can't turn back.

If it was a chasing soldier on the battlefield, Li Shimin might intervene and lead the soldiers back to fight with them, leaving them to die and come back to life. But now, this gluttonous beast called "productivity" can't make him retreat. This gluttonous beast cannot be eliminated, the productive forces will not retreat, and if Li Shimin dares to make the people give up the use of advanced productive forces, the people will first rebel. The irreversibility of productivity made Li Shimin feel earth-shattering pressure, and he couldn't turn back. Only by racing against this gluttonous beast can we avoid the fate of destruction.
