Cui Junsu is dedicated to the public, which surprised Li Er.

Originally, Li Er thought that in such a major matter as minting money, Cui Junsu should consider the interests of the Seventh Family.

So Cui Junsu's reaction made Li Er very happy.

Cui Junsu, as the secretary of the household department, is naturally in office with his character, so he has to consider official business. However, he also has a small abacus, and he asked Li Er's permission before, that is, the family exchanged copper, silver, and gold for Li Yuanxing's coins.

Therefore, the family is not affected, but it is necessary to talk about an exchange ratio in the process of exchanging coins.

Similarly, now Cui Junsu has to bargain over the cost of coinage between the household department and Qin Wangzhuang.

In Qinwangzhuang, Li Yuanxing was preparing to have dinner. As soon as he walked to the door of the backyard, he heard Lu Maofeng's report: "Your Highness, Fang Du and the two ministers have arrived at the gate of Qinwangzhuang, and Cui Shangshu of the household department has just left the train station." Listening to Cui Shangshu, after the train started, he saw Li Shangshu of the military department coming to the station! ”

"I'm afraid they haven't eaten!" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"At this hour, I naturally haven't eaten it!" Lu Maofeng replied with a smile.

Li Yuanxing shook his head helplessly, and said to Yuan Chun: "Go to the princesses, this king's dinner is not used in the backyard." Come back as early as possible in the evening, let Princess Ying go to the king's treasury to get some ice food for the backyard, and then prepare a box of ice, and send a few pieces of ice to the king in the front hall later! ”

Yuan Chun answered and went back to the backyard to pass the word.

The ice food that Li Yuanxing mentioned is the stuff like haode ice cream and ice cream packaged in later generations.

In Datang, this thing is more valuable than you can imagine. Cui Yingying called two cooks. Four dim sum chefs. After many days of research, using milk powder, refined sugar, and fruit juice, I barely approached the taste of ice cream, but it was still far from it. Efforts are still ongoing.

Freezing point, naturally, is something that has been made in the effort of shiyan.

It is an ice snack, and such a snack is executed in Qinwangzhuang, because the small machine supported by electricity brought by Li Yuanxing has only one split freezer and an ice machine. Another set of industrial ice machines. It won't be able to be used in a short time.

It's not that Li Yuanxing can't bring it anymore. It's that the electricity in Qinwangzhuang is a bottleneck, and too many of this kind of thing may not be good.

Li Yuanxing did not take a soft sedan chair, but walked by himself.

When Li Yuanxing walked to the small living room in the front yard, even Cui Junsu arrived.

Entered the small living room. Li Yuanxing opened his mouth and said: "Unified currency." is the foundation of business. One or two pieces of silver in Datang. The maximum can be exchanged for 1,400 yuan, and the least can be exchanged for 800 yuan, which is too big a difference. ”

Cui Junsu looked at Li Yuanxing and guessed his intention. also said tightly: "The main thing is that the quality of the money is too much to do." Some of the better coins have seven cents of copper, and some of the worse ones have four cents of copper. But there is still some money, which uses less than a cent of copper, mostly lead, tin, etc., which naturally cannot be exchanged for too much silver. ”

"Everyone, please take a seat, this king has already ordered the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes!"

Everyone sat down, and Cui Junsu said again: "A merchant sells goods, and another merchant brings a cart of money, and the money for a cart is only a few hundred. But these hundreds of dollars are good money, bad money, and those very bad money. ”

By the time I said this, the dishes had already come up.

For four people, two cold dishes were prepared, then two meat and two vegetarian dishes were hot, and a soup was added.

One plate of cold dishes is fungus cucumbers, and the other plate is pepper eggs.

Meat dishes are roasted pork ribs with potatoes and stewed mushrooms with chicken. The vegetarian dish is scrambled eggs with tomatoes and garlic broccoli!

Of course, these dishes in Datang have excellent names, and they are all very poetic.

Zuihou is a soup that is hot and sour belly soup.

"The dishes arranged by His Royal Highness, I think these dishes must be useful. Is Your Highness going to talk about money first, or about food first? Du Ruhui had been in the Qin Palace's mansion for a long time, and he immediately felt that Li Yuanxing must have other purposes.

"Let's talk about the money first!" Li Yuanxing picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of egg.

Because Li Yuanxing is the king of Qin, his status is the most noble, and the rest of the people who move his chopsticks can start.

Although the ancients said that food does not speak. But this rule didn't seem to work very well, Cui Junsu ate a few bites of food, and continued to tell the story of his two businessmen's various money when Fang Xuanling personally poured wine for the four of them.

"At the time of receipt, the merchant who sold the goods would send someone to start counting the money in the cart, dividing it into five kinds of money: upper, middle, lower, inferior, and extremely inferior, and then according to these five kinds of money, one of them was used as the benchmark to convert. This gave the two businessmen another chance to rip their heads up. ”

After Cui Junsu finished speaking, Fang Xuanling also said: "A few hundred, that is, hundreds of thousands of dollars, it takes a lot of time to divide it up!" ”

"What if there is no breakdown when collecting money?"

Li Yuanxing said in his heart, will there be people who are afraid of trouble and are unwilling to subdivide money in this large transaction.

Cui Junsu said: "If you have a long-term cooperation, you will take a penny as a standard. For the first time, there will also be shrewd businessmen who take a coin as a criterion. Then when the delivery is made with the money, the money is divided in advance haode. ”

"Of course, there are some such as buyers who don't go for some reasons, but the seller trusts, and that's what happened!"

Cui Junsu said very tactfully, in fact, he was saying that if the heart of buying goods is broken, he will be poor to charge the money. And then the seller is naturally unwilling, and there will definitely be a fight for this.

Whether it is going to the yamen, or fighting privately, it is troublesome.

Li Yuanxing understood: "This method has not really gotten rid of the barter and barter trading methods. ”

"Therefore, His Royal Highness Qin Wang Qian has solved this problem. The shops in the two cities of Chang'an City have hung up signs outside the door, and the Qin Wang's money is exchanged for one and three cents, and this is the exchange ratio with the money. The price of rice in Chang'an is, and the money is eight dollars and one bucket. The price of rice in Huazhou is six wen a bucket, and there are also five wen for sale! ”

Speaking of this, Cui Junsu sold a pass: "Your Highness thinks that how much money does King Qin have for a bucket?" ”

"According to the conversion of one cent and three cents, it should be six cents a bucket."

"Your Highness doesn't know that the current rice price in Chang'an is 11 wen and 2 buckets, and some are already 5 wen and 1 bucket. This is the price of Qin Wangqian, and it is also the price recognized by Chang'an grain merchants. Moreover, businessmen like Qin Wang Qian, and when they see Qin Wang Qian, they don't have to carefully distinguish whether this is good money or bad money. ”

As soon as Du Ruhui finished speaking, Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Highness, one of the greater advantages of using King Qin's money is that it is easy to calculate. ”

"How?"

"The merchants made wooden plates out of rulers, and one plate was a hundred. Someone has tried, pick money at will, no matter how you put it, it is a plate of 100 yuan, a plate of five columns, and 20 yuan per column. It's easy to calculate, it's good to count, and it's naturally easy to calculate. Qin Wang Qian is completely consistent in size and weight, and it is beautifully made, without any possibility of counterfeiting. With shoddy haode money, you can't make such a beautiful engraving! ”

Li Yuanxing is from the modern era, even if he has not studied economics and finance in depth.

But he knew it perfectly.

How much impact does a unified financial system have on industry, commerce, and people's livelihood?

One person served a bowl of rice.

The rice in the Qin Wangfu is still very fresh for the Tang people.

Before, Datang was mainly boiled, and then it was simmered in a large pot, and some dry rice was rice, but the bottom of the pot would be wasted. Even big families are unwilling, so Datang's rice is more like thick porridge.

Li Yuanxing used a set of fire to cook, and the rice was naturally different, more fragrant, and the particles were more obvious.

Li Yuanxing didn't eat, he was just thinking.

According to historical records, the inflation before the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan was very small, and a penny was almost the purchasing power of four yuan in later generations. As soon as his Qin Wang's money came out, this was tantamount to an invisible increase in the value of the money, and a penny would be worth six yuan for future generations, which should be bad for the economy of the Tang Dynasty.

"Du Gong, tomorrow you go to a money minting shop and ask them to start casting steel money immediately."

"Steel money is worthless, isn't Your Highness in a hurry!" Du Ruhui asked.

Cui Junsu opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness is smart, come and explain!" ”

Cui Junsu has been in the household department for many years, and he can't say the words inflation and deflation, but he can express the meaning of deflation and the harm to the market and the economy.

After speaking, he added: "Right now, don't worry too much, after all, there is still a lot of bad money on the market!" ”

Cui Junsu is right, the bad money is temporarily equivalent to the position of the steel money of King Qin's money. As a supplementary currency for small objects, copper coins are extremely necessary.

It's just that the Seventh Family doesn't need it, and Qin Wangzhuang doesn't need it either.

This need is the needs of Datang, the needs of Datang's households, the economic needs of Datang, and the needs of the people.

Hearing Cui Junsu say this, Li Yuanxing seemed to react: "Which of you has my imperial brother's holy decree in his hands?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads: "There is no holy decree!" ”

"Tobe wants the king's coinage?" Li Yuanxing asked.

Cui Junsu hurriedly said what Li Er meant, without changing a word, and completely copied the original words.

"There are two algorithms, one is that the household department bears the expenses of the Wang Workshop, and the other is how to exchange money, how much copper is exchanged for how much. Of course, the details are still to be discussed with the long history of this king! ”

"Your Highness, when will the steel money be issued, and can the household department ask for it?" Cui Junsu asked again.

"Ten days in advance, because you need to debug the machine, and you can't always change it, don't waste time on debugging the machine, within this year, you can only mint four kinds of money at the same time, so you have to think about it. Moreover, the craftsmen of the household department must follow the rules of this king, and they also need to be audited. ”

Cui Junsu has no opinion.

Fang Du and the two ministers also have no opinion.

Originally, Fang Du Liangxiang meant to ask Li Yuanxing to make a move, so that there would be a rule for the coins of Chang'an City.

Now that the household department has intervened, they only need to pay attention to the details.

"Your Highness!" Cui Yingying actually came in person.

Her valet followed with a tray in her hand.

"Please taste the freezing point of my Qinwangzhuang, it is very special." Li Yuanxing personally took it out of the food box. (To be continued......)
