Section 481 Financial Reform 1 [First Update]
When Li Jing and others came to Chang'an, they naturally couldn't wear official uniforms.
They all changed into the silk robes worn by ordinary nobles and went to the restaurant to eat and drink first. After all, I didn't eat anything in Qinwangzhuang, so I was going to eat first and then go to the market to see the reaction.
"Guest upstairs, please!" Xiao Er shouted.
Li Jing and several military attachΓ©s who were above the fourth grade went upstairs, and those below the fifth grade did not even enter this restaurant. Next to this restaurant is the Wangjing Tower, which is the restaurant of Wu Cao's dumpling banquet.
There Li Jing believed that he must have known about Qin Wangqian.
"A few distinguished guests, whether it is a table or a la carte!" Xiao Er asked while pouring tea next to him.
Li Jing smiled and waved his hand: "Someone has a treat today, you choose the one you like!" β
The money belonged to Li Yuanxing, and Li Jing had no intention of saving money for Li Yuanxing.
Several generals looked at the menu cards that Xiao Er brought up and chose their favorite dishes.
The shopkeeper came in at this time and bowed: "Distinguished guests are polite!" Li Jing raised his hand: "The shopkeeper has a heart!" β
"Distinguished guest, I wonder if you have King Qin's money in your hand?" The shopkeeper's voice became a little quieter, and he continued: "Our store uses Qin Wang money to settle the bill, and one money is used for three purposes. If you spend more than 100 yuan, you will get another jar of good wine! β
Before Li Jing could speak, he saw a person break in from outside.
Li Jing's personal guards just reacted, and when they saw the person, they immediately stepped aside, because it was Qin Qiong who came, and he was still wearing an official uniform, the official uniform on the third grade.
As soon as she saw Li Jing, Qin Qiong hugged her fists and saluted: "Pharmacist save so!" β
The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped aside, at least Li Jing didn't mean to let him out. A few other distinguished guests are still choosing menus.
"Why is Shubao panicking, sit down and have a cup of tea first. If something really happens, I won't care. Even if a certain person is weak, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, it is really impossible to ask for a favor from the saint. β
Li Jing saw that Qin Qiong's face was wrong, and he just thought that something big had happened, such as Qin Qiong's son fighting in Chang'an City and killing someone.
Or maybe a few little guys got mixed up and did something out of the ordinary.
Qin Qiong touched it in his arms. Placing the silver coin on the table: "Pharmacist." I heard that King Qin minted money, but I had a lot of important things to deal with recently, but who would have thought that someone from his subordinates would come to report that this money was scary, but it was scary at a glance. Engrave the image of so-and-so on this coin. Something is terrifying! β
"Haha. Uncle Bao sat down and ate wine! β
"Pharmacist!" Qin Qiong had the heart to sit down, in the past few days, he was busy helping Li Yuanxing to go to Chang'an, and he was busy collecting information about the surrounding states and counties that Li Yuanxing wanted. That's half the effort.
But this happened again.
"General Qin, the money is made by the King of Qin. His Royal Highness the King of Qin is the master, what are you afraid of? A general said.
Qin Qiong wanted to say something, Li Jing waved his hand to stop it, and at the same time stopped several generals from speaking again.
Li Jing said at this time: "I know something, because Uncle Bao is busy with official business, so naturally I don't know." And the matter was also set not long ago, and it was just an accident that the first seal turned out to be Uncle Bao you. β
Seeing that Qin Qiong was a little nervous, Li Jing smiled slightly: "Actually, there is a certain one, but I don't know when it will be engraved, I heard His Royal Highness the King of Qin say that after three million silver coins are printed, a new mold must be made, but it is also extremely troublesome to change the mold once, so after the three million silver coins are made, I don't know who will be printed next." β
"Who else?"
"There is so-and-so, Lao Cheng, Lao Hei, the eldest grandson and the old fox, as well as General Xiaogong and Fang Du Erxiang." Speaking of this, Li Jing clapped his hands: "I thought of it, and the next one must be the old general Qu Tu." β
"The Holy Lord's List?" Qin Qiong asked.
"The Holy Lord made a rule, and Tianying Pavilion voted for twenty-four people. A coin of silver coin pattern-making is these twenty-four people, His Royal Highness the King of Qin means, this is the twenty-four heroes of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, printed on the silver coin This is glory! So Brother Shubao will enter the palace to thank the saint for his great grace for a while, but don't worry about anything else! β
Hearing Li Jing say this, Qin Qiong's heart relaxed.
The shopkeeper saw Qin Qiong's hand touching the cup, and immediately stepped forward to pour the tea.
"It's no secret that you listen to the excitement. This money is rewarded to you, good wine and good food tell the kitchen to be well organized, you can listen here! β
The shopkeeper liked it, took the silver coin with both hands, and motioned for Xiao Er to go downstairs to explain. Then he said to Li Jing: "This seat, let the small shop be the east, and the distinguished guests will appreciate their faces!" β
"Thank you to the shopkeeper, a few rewards for Xiao Er and the kitchen." Li Jing took out some copper coins of five coins and one coin and put them on the table, and the shopkeeper thanked him for the reward and quickly put them away.
If you want to say that Li Jing gave too much, or the shopkeeper took less, no one will calculate it.
"Brother Shubao, there are two kinds of gold, one is only for reward, and the emperor has one or two gold coins. Then there will be one or two gold coins on the saint that will be released on the market. I have seen the color, almost close to red gold, and the bright yellow is very beautiful. Then there is the eldest grandson queen of five gold coins, originally the holy meaning was to use His Royal Highness the King of Qin, but His Royal Highness pushed and used a gold coin! β
There are gold coins, and they are bright yellow close to red gold.
The shopkeeper's eyes were a little dull, and Li Jing took out one and put it on the table at this time and asked, "This is a gift from the saint to so-and-so, and the shopkeeper thinks it is worth a lot of money!" β
Li Jing's piece was actually a gold coin that Hou Junji lost to him, and exchanged the corresponding gold for Li Yuanxing.
The avatar is Li Yuan's.
"If you return to your customers, you don't dare to accept them in this ordinary store. It is the one who dares to collect it, and it is worth 20,000 yuan. As you said, this gold coin is in circulation, one tael of gold, eleven taels of silver, this is the market price. One or two sterling silver will cost 1,100 wen to exchange for money, and it is really hard to say that inferior money is inferior. So according to the market price, it is worth about 13,000 wen. β
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, but his expression was more heavy.
"Don't blame the little ones for being too talkative, the little ones have heard a saying. Qin Wangqian's algorithm is to be a whole of ten. It is these two gold coins as 10,000 yuan, if you exchange it for Qin Wang money, the two cities of this thing already have rules, and it is naturally exchanged according to the whole calculation of this as ten, just for the old money. It's just different! β
Li Jing nodded slightly, and did not mention the exchange again.
"One or two silver, with the image of the prince. The five-dollar silver is the image of Princess Mingyue, a penny of silver, which is us. There are also three kinds of copper coins, scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and pawns! The first to come out were the farmers of five coins, and the pawns of one penny, and I think that there will be all kinds of coins on the market next year. β
After Li Jing finished speaking, Qin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief.
Some, however, are uneasy. Cui Junsu of the household department was waiting in front of Li Er's study to be summoned.
Finally. Fang Du and the others came out of the study, with joy on their faces, and saw Cui Junsu waiting, after bowing. Walk towards the outer courtyard of the palace.
entered Li Er's study. After Cui Junsu gave the salute. He immediately said: "Holy Lord, there is a big matter that the Holy One must make up his mind!" β
"Tell me!" Li Er also had a smile on his face, and Cui Junsu couldn't guess what Li Er and Fang Du said. But it must be a big and good thing, otherwise Li Yuanxing's face would not have maintained a smile until now.
"Holy Lord, the household department mints 370,000 yuan a year, plus the total amount of money minted in various places is 560,000 yuan a year. There are more than 3,000 craftsmen in the household department, and it takes 370,000 yuan to mint money in a year. β
"I know!"
Cui Junsu took half a step forward and saluted again: "Your Highness, Qin Wangzhuang minted one million copper coins in ten days, eighty-three copper coins for five coins, and it was only seven days for the five copper coins to start. In five days, a silver coin was minted and 730,000 coins were minted. These folded money has been 100,000 guan, the minister asked the eldest brother Cui of the Qin Wangfu, the Qin Wangfu money casting workshop has been fully started, and the minting of a copper coin can reach 800,000 guan a year. β
"800,000 kan, Gorou's workshop is really efficient!" Li Er's sentence is nonsense.
Because Fang Du Erxiang had already calculated the accounts just now.
And the calculation is finer than Cui Junsu, even the silver coins, gold coins, copper coins, and iron coins are all counted.
Not only that, but they also analyzed in detail how many gold coins should be there, how many silver coins should be there, and how many coins should be minted each year.
And the detailed jihua is listed.
Fang Du Erxiang left the palace and went straight to Qin Wangzhuang.
"Saint, Qin Wangzhuang can mint at least 12 million yuan a year. Because Qin Wangzhuang will mint gold coins and silver coins. β
"How much gold is enough for Gorou to mint money, and how much silver. How much silver can be dug up in a year, right now you are giving all the gold and silver nuggets in your hands to Gorou, and the money minted will not flow to the market. You're worried about whether there is any point in minting money in the household, right? β
Li Er asked directly. In fact, Cui Junsu came here and said this is what he said.
"Holy Lord, please collect the Qin Wangfu Money Casting Workshop and return it to the Household Department!" Cui Junsu bowed to the end, his request was really from the perspective of the Hubu Shangshu, not the Seventh Family.
"I've thought about it, but can you manage the workshop?" Li Er asked.
Cui Junsu said again: "Saint, if the minting volume of Qin Wang's money reaches 400,000 pieces a year, then within three years, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty will mint private money. Bad money, miscellaneous money will disappear completely, Datang no longer needs to replace money with silk, Datang's money really has the meaning of money! β
Li Er nodded solemnly: "Fang Du and the others were also talking about this matter just now, Ru Hui made a special trip from Qin Wangzhuang to come for the matter you said." β
"What does the Holy One mean?" Cui Junsu hurriedly asked.
"The coinage shop of the household department was closed, and all the craftsmen belonged to Goro. At the moment, the money shop is managed by Gorou, and the money can be counted by your household. However, the silver mines, gold mines, and coinage rights that I had originally promised to Goro were still valid. Qing's proposal is very good, I specially allowed Tobu to take all the copper coins, and Gorou wanted to use the copper coins for him to exchange silver and gold coins with you. β
After Li Er finished ordering, Cui Junsu quickly calculated in his heart.
"Holy Lord, this is the case. His Royal Highness the King of Qin suffered a great loss, and the minister thought that the household department should pay for the minting of money! (To be continued......)
