Li Yuanxing smiled helplessly: "If this is known to the girl who is a little rich fan Mingyue, she won't kill me when she comes back." ”

Everyone is in a daxiao again.

It's no secret that Wu Cao is a fan of wealth, and no one in the upper echelons of Datang doesn't know.

Wu Cao is known as the Little God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, and they all say that Wu Cao is a disciple of the God of Wealth in Heaven.

"Well, while Mingyue is not here, I'm going home after defeat. Frosted candy is forty wen a catty, this time it's not expensive. Li Yuanxing removed the wooden planks from the wooden box that Yuan Chun brought, and below was a row of bamboo tubes.

Each bamboo tube is filled with white sugar.

The white sugar really made in Datang, although it is worse than the modern one, is extremely haode sugar in Datang. Li Yuanxing used the lime clarification method, which was already very mature in the Song Dynasty. In Datang, it is recorded in history that it began to be used on a large scale only after 27 years of Zhenguan.

"Frosty Sugar!"

"This king's output is okay." Li Yuanxing said softly.

Only this sentence is okay, everyone has already heard the taste, Li Yuanxing has been industrialized and mass-produced.

At the same time, another meaning of this sentence is that as soon as Li Yuanxing's frosted candy comes out, it is equivalent to the livelihood of all the sugar mills in Datang, with a large quantity and low price.

But Li Yuanxing has never done anything about it, and being able to say it here is equivalent to preparing to support a few, or even dozens of powerful sugar chambers of commerce.

On the other side, Yuan Chun asked the cook to make cakes faster in the kitchen, while turning over the pieces of paper in his hands.

The content of this piece of paper is what she wants to talk about today, which is arranged by Li Yuanxing in advance. She saw that there were still a few key words that she hadn't said, and she hadn't passed on the message.

Yuan Chun still remembered that Li Yuanxing had confessed.

Give up some small ones that you can't keep in the first place. You can keep the bigger ones, and you can grasp the interests in your hands.

For example, give up maltose and keep frosting.

The most important thing is to preserve the source of frosting sugar, which is sugar beets. In the coming year, Li Yuanxing plans to plant tens of thousands of acres of sugar beets in Qinwangzhuang, and when the time comes, Li Yuanxing is ready to sell sugar to various surrounding countries, which is the real big profit. Anyway, the people of Datang will definitely like maltose.

And frosted sugar. It is an aristocratic consumer product.

The muffins that Yuan Chun brought. In fact, only about half of the squeezed sugar residue was used, and the rest was still white flour. After all, this is for the adults, not the artisans.

After tasting a bite of the crispy cake, Li Jing asked, "Now." Still in the making? ”

"There's also a small workshop that's been making all the time. There were a hundred and ten people. Yuan Chun replied with his head down.

"I want to go and see it!"

Li Jing wanted to see it. Li Yuanxing naturally would not refuse, and motioned for Yuanchun to take him to the workshop to have a look.

Cui Junsu did not go, but proposed to go to Li Yuanxing's garden for a walk. It's a sunny day, it's a full moon night, and the view from the garden in the antechamber is excellent.

However, Li Yuanxing and Cui Junsu did not come to see the scenery.

"Your Royal Highness, it has been recorded in the Book of Han that Jia Yi once said that "the adulterous money is becoming more and more prosperous, and the positive money is dying day by day". A certain person once read the history of coinage, the Han Dynasty once replaced good money with bad money, but this is a helpless fact. His Highness wants to replace bad money with good money, and although His Highness must pay for many goods with good money, he does not cure the root cause! I'm worried. ”

Cui Junsu's words are good words.

But Li Yuanxing believes in science and the study of economics.

Moreover, the theory of bad money has been studied in the sixteen shijie Western shijie, called Gresham's law. Moreover, in the ancient Roman era, the gold coins used in the Roman Empire were always cut off a corner, but the gold coins were getting lighter and lighter, which was also the earliest bad coin.

"The law of bad drives good, and the law of good drives evil. These two laws coexist, but they change and even intersect in a certain context. ”

Wu Cao's original words were, positive Greshin, and anti-Greshin.

Of course, Li Yuanxing would not call out the word Gresham.

"The law of bad drive must be produced under a major premise. At the same time, both bad and good money are legal tenders stipulated by the Datang Household Department; There is a legal ratio for both coins; The sum of the two coins must exceed the amount of money required by society. Cui Shangshu thinks, is Datang's coins enough? ”

Cui Junsu smiled and shook his head: "Trading with silk, rice, sheep, cattle, and money instead of money is because there is not enough money." ”

"One more thing, when the merchants of Daqin come to my Datang, what kind of transaction will they make?"

"Bartering vs. bartering." Cui Junsu answered truthfully.

Li Yuanxing took out a strange-looking gold coin from his pocket, and then said: "Let's talk about bartering first, if their goods are poor, will my Datang merchants bargain or reduce the amount of exchange." In other words, they use their own gold coins, complete good gold coins accepted by Datang merchants, so the incomplete gold coins that have been cut, they are stupid as Datang merchants! ”

Li Yuanxing's gold coin is Ole!

Then Li Yuanxing took out another bag, which contained all kinds of ancient Roman coins.

Naturally, there are cut ores, and there are whole, and incomplete dinars (silver coins!). ）

"The law of good drives out the bad! In the market, merchants are more willing to accept coins with guaranteed value. This king is called hard currency, and bad money is soft currency. When Datang will appear in the unavoidable inferiority of the good, at that time, the king also has a way to solve it, and at that time, Datang also has the strength to control. ”

Cui Junsu nodded: "The attitude of the household department is that it is now pretending to be confused for a few years, and it does not stipulate the official coins of the Tang Dynasty. Silk can also be used, grain can also be used, and cattle can also be used! ”

"Exactly, people will look like hard currency, and it will take a process. There will certainly be some people who will be hurt, and there will be some people who will take advantage of the opportunity. For example, if someone privately uses King Qin's money to exchange for gold, silver, and copper, to earn that little difference, or to run errands, what does Cui Shangshu think? ”

Cui Junsu did not answer immediately.

At this time, Cui Junsu also realized that a change would bring many problems, big and small.

It takes a long time for good money to really become the official money of Datang. At present, it seems that as Li Yuanxing said, some goods can only be bought with good money, so it promotes the circulation of Qin Wang's money in disguise.

As for saving money, people are looking good to save it.

Li Yuanxing also understands in his heart that there is a degree to everything. For example, he likes to put new money in his wallet and spend the old broken money first. This is also a reaction of bad money driving out good money.

"There is another point, Cui Shangshu has to get an idea early. The exchange of gold and silver coins must be regulated. One tael of gold coins for a few taels of silver coins, this is definitely not set in stone. Silver coins to copper coins, one or two silver coins have always been copper coins, this is the rule set by the king, which when the money is minted, the weight and silver content of the silver coin, the king has made some tricks. ”

Cui Junsu clearly knows that the exchange of silver and coins fluctuates because of the fluctuation of silver prices.

Li Yuanxing's Qin Wang Qian is absolutely impossible to change the formula, otherwise it will be a vicious struggle between the bad money of Qin Wang Qian and the good money.

"This king, and frosted sugar!"

Li Yuanxing: Is this a joke?

Obviously not a joke, Cui Junsu quickly reacted: "What His Highness said is reasonable. His Highness didn't want the candy, but His Highness kept the frost. It sounds like it's just talking about sugar, but when you think about it, it's about coins. I think that the major chambers of commerce are willing to cooperate with the Qin Palace, they are His Royal Highness's frosting candy! ”

"Exactly, merchants love hard currency!"

"Your Highness, it goes without saying that foreign merchants barter goods, but a recent report from the Ministry of Commerce says that in recent months, the proportion of bartering has been declining, and foreign merchants will choose to sell their goods and then use their money to buy goods. So His Royal Highness thinks that it can be controlled within the scope of King Qin's money! ”

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "There is no need to forcibly control it, the market will prove that the king's Qin Wang money is hard currency." ”

"I'll send someone to keep an eye on it!" After Cui Junsu answered, he suggested again: "I don't know how foreign merchants think of Qin Wangqian!" ”

Li Yuanxing clapped his hands lightly: "That's right!" This king thinks that the Ministry of Household should not unite with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Commerce to consider the exchange of foreign currencies for the Tang Dynasty. For example, what about the silver coins that the dinar exchanged for the Tang Dynasty, or the copper coins? ”

Li Yuanxing's proposal made Cui Junsu feel a sense of brightness.

"Your Highness's argument is incisive, and businessmen still like good money. It is better to arrange for someone to let the Ministry of Commerce release the news, and merchants from other countries will definitely give the first choice to good money for the safety of their own coins, so that at least in Chang'an City, the money of King Qin will be circulated enough. It is rare for Cui Junsu to fully agree with Li Yuanxing's statement, at least in the matter of coins, he is very confident.

Li Yuanxing also agrees with this statement.

"The rest of the states and counties, slowly figure it out!"

Cui Junsu said goodbye, and he did not leave Qinwangzhuang. Because it was getting late, his identity was not enough to open Chang'an City at night, and there was no trouble in the slightest.

On the other side, about three miles east of Qinwangzhuang, there is a small Zhuangzi.

The distance between this Zhuangzi and Qinwang Farm is only five miles, and it is the largest food processing workshop in Qinwangfu, and the main business here is to process vermicelli.

The side business is processing maltose, as well as processing horse cakes.

When Li Jing arrived, it was still in full swing, and hundreds of cauldrons were steaming.

Processing vermicelli is actually a manual job, and in the modern era of later generations, the handicraft workshop is definitely dominated by men.

But here in Datang, don't underestimate the physical strength of a healthy woman, a strong woman can pick up a bag of 100 catties of sweet potato flour with one hand, and she can walk like a fly into the processing room dozens of steps away, and she will definitely not feel panting.

Li Yuanxing was shocked when he saw this scene at that time.

Li Jing saw this scene, but he felt normal.

As soon as he walked into the food workshop, Li Jing subconsciously took two steps back, because he felt a very dangerous aura! (To be continued......)
