Chapter 307: New Currency
"Wang Yinlong" Just when the venue fell into dead silence, Li Su suddenly called names.
"The minister is here!" Wang Yinlong said that at first he wondered why he was approached for the currency matter, but now he understands Li Yu's intentions.
"Wang Yinlong, from today onwards, you will be responsible for preparing for the establishment of a new directly subordinate organ, the Anti-Corruption Discipline Inspection Bureau, under the Prefecture and County Supervision Yuan, and will be responsible for investigating and approving the arrest of officials who have embezzled, taken bribes, and bent the law for personal gain." Li Su said in a deep voice, although Li Su had also mentioned this matter before, but he did not emphasize it, and now Li Su is handling this matter as a major matter, because this kind of thing cannot be compromised, and once a corrupt atmosphere is formed in the fiefdom, it will be difficult to completely eliminate it.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Yinlong said, and the officials all looked at him at this time, and their eyes couldn't help but be a little more awe-inspiring.
"Su Mo'er!" Li Su named again.
"The minister is here!" Among the many officials, Su Moer is the only woman, but with the establishment of the women's university, he believes that more and more women will step into the officialdom.
"You are responsible for assisting the Anti-Corruption Discipline Inspection Agency." Li said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Su Mo'er responded.
Now the officials' hearts are tighter, Su Mo'er is the concubine of the King of Shu, and Li Su is undoubtedly putting a sword on the head of every official.
Seeing the nervous appearance of the officials, Li Su said: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, you go back to reflect on each other, and convey the content of this meeting to the states and counties below. ”
"Yes!" The officials spoke in unison.
After this question, Li Su listened to some government affairs in the fiefdom and gave some suggestions on governance, and the whole meeting lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
After the meeting was dismissed, the officials took their own actions to convey the contents of the meeting to the states and counties, and some officials who had accepted bribes tried every means to return their things. Some of them confessed directly to Li Su, but Li Sunian had a very small amount, and they spared them for the first time, and in the future, these things will go directly to Wang Yinlong.
"Your Highness, this is the model you want."
The affairs of the officials are naturally handled by the officials themselves, he only needs to be at the helm, and he does not have to be in detail, but the scientific and technological matters have to rely on him, since it is decided to establish a new monetary system, the first thing is of course to determine the style of the currency. Therefore, Li Su asked Li Ran to produce a set of currency according to his own design, and if it is qualified, then the printing machine of this set of currency will also be produced, followed by the issuance of currency.
Li Ran put in front of Li Su It was Li Su who mentioned the types of Yizhou currency at the meeting, three of which are copper coins and eight are paper money, and the style of copper coins is basically and modern cents and angles. Yuan is the same, but the numbers are in traditional Chinese, the front is a number, and the reverse side is a lotus. The front of the banknote is a portrait of Li Shimin, while the back is a miniature of Baihuatan in Yizhou.
For this set of banknotes, Li Su specially purchased materials from Hyundai and asked Li Ran to take a smart person to bring out a set of banknote printing mechanism, and for this purpose, he also occupied a factory in Taoyuan. And using electricity as the power of the printing machine, it is impossible for anyone to copy this set of banknotes once it is issued, because this set of banknotes is basically the same as modern banknotes.
"Not bad!" Pinch up three yellow-orange-orange coins of different sizes. Li Su said: "It's just that the copper content is so high, it's really a waste." ”
"This is also something that cannot be helped, with the current industry in Yizhou not being able to reach the point of producing copper-nickel alloys." Li Ran said, he looked at the banknotes on the table again and said, "Why does His Highness use the portrait of the emperor as one side of the banknotes!" ”
Li Su said with a smile: "You don't understand this, this is called a drunkard's meaning is not in wine, the reason why I want to print the portrait of my father, in order to let our currency not only be used in Yizhou, but also let other places use our currency, in this way, we will invisibly control the economy of the Tang Dynasty, therefore, I want to reflect the portrait of my father on the banknote, if it is printed with my portrait, those ministers will not have to say nonsense, who dares to say a word about this kind of banknote."
"I see, you human psychology is really complicated." Li Ran said.
Put down the coin, Li Su picked up the banknote again and played with it, the texture of the paper is very comfortable, for him this set of currency is not only practical, but also very exquisite, he believes that once this currency is issued, it will be very popular.
"It's okay, let's start printing according to this set of currency, temporarily print 50 million yuan, and if it's not enough, continue to add more." Li said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Ran said.

Corresponding to the issuance of currency, Yizhou's Tang Dynasty money began to change its appearance, a plaque called Yizhou Bank replaced the original Tang Dynasty Bank, for this sudden change, many businessmen were caught off guard, thinking that what period was worried very much, because his money was saved zài Sheng Tang Bank, if the Tang Dynasty Bank finished they would be unlucky, but before they went to Yizhou Bank to inquire about specific matters, the overwhelming newspapers flew to every corner of Yizhou, And from the newspaper they got this answer.
"From today, the two-year time deadline, the copper money will be stopped in the fief of the King of Shu, please go to the Yizhou Bank at the end of this month to exchange the old copper money at home for the Yizhou currency issued at the end of this month, as for the value of the copper money deposited in the original Shengtang Qian Zhuang unchanged, the money ticket is still valid." A group of businessmen gathered around one of the readers of the contents of the newspaper.
"Keep reading, there's more!" A businessman said in a hurry, now they can leave their lives in Yizhou, so they are particularly concerned about everything in Yizhou.
"I have saved a lot more money than you, why are you in a hurry than me." The businessman who read the newspaper complained, and then turned his attention to the newspaper, "The currency issued will be directly measured by the value of gold and silver, and the ratio of Yizhou Singapore currency and gold and silver to Huàn will be announced every month, so please don't panic, you can use Yizhou Singapore currency with confidence, and Note: The introduction of the policy is really for Yizhou's economic considerations, and I hope that the people will actively cooperate. ”
After reading it, the merchant was amazed, "This King of Shu is a clear judgment, in my opinion, this money ticket is no different from paper money, but it is more convenient, and I will go to take some out at the end of the month to take a look." ”
"I think it's better to wait and see what happens for a while, if the people can accept it, then we will use this set of coins in the future, if not, then we will say another, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship." A businessman said.
"Hmph, at first glance, you will know that it is not a local businessman, the reputation of His Royal Highness the King of Shu is known to the world, when the Shengtang Qian Zhuang was first established, there were a few people who were willing to save money, and now? Aren't they all stored in it? A sarcastic.
"That's it, and this Shengtang Chamber of Commerce was originally owned by the King of Shu, but now it has become an official thing, isn't this reputation more guaranteed?" Another chimed in.
“……”
At the same time, similar conversations were staged all over Yizhou, and those who were literate and literate went home with newspapers to spread the news, and the state and county governments in the farther away also sent people to publicize the matter so that they would not have trouble at any time.
"Everyone, come here, and read to you a new monetary policy from the government today." Wei Tieniu just came back from Yizhou City, on the way he heard about the currency and quickly bought a copy to bring back, if it was before, he would definitely not buy a newspaper, because he was illiterate at all, but since the joke of the stone tablet he made up his mind to study, originally he planned to go to the school with the latter cheeky, but he didn't expect the above to come down to the notice, saying that the officials of Yizhou can go to the training class of Yizhou University of Government Affairs, and the illiterate can also be taught for free, so he went almost every day, and after more than a year, he also knew a lot of words.
"What's the news, give you the ability." A woman wearing a yellow dress and short sleeves glanced at him and said, he is the daughter-in-law that Wei Tieniu just married this year.
Wei Tieniu straightened his chest and said: "What do you know, I am the leader of the village, and this new policy must not be publicized to the people in the village, otherwise how can I be worthy of His Highness's monthly salary of 200 Wen a month." (To be continued......)
