"I learned from General Li Ji in detail, at the beginning, those ordinary people of the Han Dynasty received food stamps, and they did go directly to exchange them for food, salt, cloth and other items that can be used at home, but as time goes by, when some people need to buy something that is not available at the official exchange point, they directly exchange the knives they need with other people, or pottery."

"Because there is an official exchange point where the exchange ratio is, and the grain acts as an equivalent, so other people also recognize these food stamps, so these people can trade directly with food stamps, and later not only ordinary people, but even those merchants also recognize the role of this food stamp."

"Actually, in this process, although this grain stamp is not a coin, it just acts as a coin, I am afraid that Huo Gang was in the beginning because there was not enough copper ore, so when he used this food stamp, he thought of wanting to use paper instead of coins."

"But at first, he was afraid that people would not accept it, so he cleverly used an excuse for a food stamp, which lowered people's vigilance, and when people got used to this food stamp, they replaced it with more exquisite banknotes, and naturally no one resisted."

"Because for ordinary people, this banknote is no different from the previous food stamps, in fact, the most important thing is that he wants to make the merchants accept these banknotes, after all, ordinary people can hold very few banknotes, according to their exchange ratio, 100 cents can be exchanged for 1 yuan banknotes."

"And 1 cent coin is the same as our penny, and for ordinary people, the family's annual income is not a few yuan." Du Ruhui said quickly.

"What's even more ingenious is that the concept of his money bank, Your Majesty, you see, there are several samples here, these samples are not paper money, but are called checks, which are specially aimed at big customers......" Du Ruhui explained the checks to Li Shimin.

After listening, Li Shimin's eyes were shining, he looked at Gao Shilian, then at Du Ruhui and then said directly: "I know the benefits, do you think we Datang can do this?" ”

Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian immediately hesitated, and after a long time, Du Ruhui directly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you can't, at least, not at present, first of all, we can't keep up with the anti-counterfeiting, if our banknotes are easy to imitate, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"Secondly, there is no domestic acceptance of this paper as a substitute for money, and no one will accept it! That would cause civil unrest. ”

"However, Your Majesty, paper money cannot be used, but we can use money banks, especially this kind of check."

"It's hard to make this kind of check on a large scale, but it's completely feasible if it's only made in small quantities for Saga gate valves. As long as we officially recognize it, for example, Your Majesty can also set up a Datang Central Bank, or the Datang Royal Bank is responsible for this matter. ”

"Then these gate valve families naturally believe in His Majesty, and there is an advantage to doing so." Du Ruhui immediately thought of the real benefits of a money bank.

"You say." Li Shimin nodded immediately.

"Your Majesty, think about it, after the establishment of this Tang Dynasty Royal Bank, with this check, in order to facilitate trade, the various gate valve families will inevitably deposit their money into our money in exchange for this check to facilitate their trade."

"So that means...... All the money is under your control, Your Majesty, if you want to control these gate valve families in the future......" Du Ruhui said and stopped here.

Because Li Shimin's breathing has become a little heavier, yes, their money is stored in their own bank, how can they not have the final say? Of course, for the sake of the credibility of the money village, Li Shimin can't do this casually, but against those ministers who commit crimes, this is a very good means!

Even if it is impossible for these gate valve families to deposit all the copper coins in the money bank, they will inevitably hide a part of them, but they will definitely deposit a considerable part of them, and this part alone allows Li Shimin to have an understanding of the power of each gate valve family!

"Du Gong is right, we have no way to use this banknote, after all, we have minted so many coins that it is impossible to waste it, but we can learn from this bankstock." Gao Shilian also nodded.

"Yes, this matter can be agreed with them, anyway, their construction of the money bank has no impact on us, but it is convenient for our merchants to trade." Li Shimin nodded and made a decision directly.

"In addition, you can reveal some news to the five surnames and Qiwang." A cold glint flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he spoke.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Gao Shilian and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and immediately bowed down and spoke.

"Tell them that our Datang may use force against the north and other places next, allowing them to relocate the people on their own to reclaim the wasteland, and all the wasteland they dig can be handed over to them to operate, and it is their own land. Including the mineral resources within the scope of their reclamation, they can be handed over to their own operation. Li Shimin said in a flat tone.

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian were shocked, didn't Li Shimin want to deal with the family gate valve? In this case...... Isn't the Saga gate valve more powerful?

"But the premise is that I want to collect taxes on all commerce and trade, and formulate relevant laws, including the way we said before to issue licenses to them to operate, and some other national strategic resources will be operated by state-owned enterprises, including the establishment of money banks and so on." Li Shimin spoke again.

Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian glanced at each other, and they immediately understood that it was actually a little difficult for Li Shimin to forcibly implement the commercial tax now, but if these things were released to exchange interests with the family gate valve, there was no need to think about it, these family gate valves would definitely be fooled.

Because the profit given by Li Shimin is too big! They enclosed whatever they wanted, and all the minerals within the enclosure were also handed over to them to operate themselves. This means that it is absolutely impossible for these Maison gate valves to give up, and although those places are a little farther away, what does this mean? This means that if you go, you will be the Emperor of the Earth!

And land is also very important to these gate valve families, now Datang lacks population, but there is no shortage of land, so Li Shimin doesn't mind sprinkling some bait out first. Let's talk about the commercial tax first, once the commercial tax starts to be collected, when the law is built, if you want to find trouble with these gate valve families, Li Shimin has a way.

During this time, Li Shimin has thought a lot, and there are two reasons why he has no way to do anything about these family gate valves, the first is that there are not enough talents, these gate valve families control the positions of most officials, and the number of cold men is not enough, so Li Shimin has no way to promote a large number of cold family members to break up the influence of the door valve family on the court.

The second reason is that the treasury is too poor, like the disaster situation this year, Li Shimin has to rely on these families, only if they contribute money and efforts, Li Shimin can survive these disasters, isn't the reason because the treasury is poor?

If he, Li Shimin, has money, does he use it like this? If it is said that grain is monopolized by state-owned enterprises, does he Li Shimin look at the faces of these family valves?

Even Li Shimin looked down on businessmen before, but after chatting with Huo Gang once, Li Shimin suddenly found that his previous idea was wrong, as long as he had money in his hand, there were too many things that could be done.

If an ordinary person is rich, he may not be able to, but if he, the emperor, is rich, he doesn't need to look at the faces of these gate valve families!

This is also why Li Shimin wants to throw out so many benefits to these gate valve families, and he must first establish commercial tax and state-owned enterprise systems.

As long as the commercial tax is established, the growth of the treasury is seen, and the country continues to grow stronger, Li Shimin believes that many officials, even if they come from some family of gate lords, will definitely stand on their side.

For most of the ministers in his court, Li Shimin still believes that they will stand with him.

The premise is that you have to let them see these benefits to the country, so at the beginning of the establishment of commercial taxation, the influence of these gate valve families must be necessary, and after the establishment, it will be up to Li Shimin to decide.

"Yes!" Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian directly agreed.

"Well, go ahead." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian soon returned to the negotiation venue, and since Li Shimin agreed, the two sides quickly finalized this point.

After Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian agreed, Wu Ping and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to negotiate other projects, while Mingyue, who was sitting next to him and did not speak, had extremely bright eyes.

Sure enough, even the famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty are only the light of the fireflies competing with the sun and the moon, and they are too far from the leaders.

What the chiefs value, they simply don't care, or rather, they don't understand at all! Mingyue can already foresee, when all the contracts are signed, at most one to two months, near the three cities of the Han Dynasty, their Han currency will definitely have a certain influence!

Because Mingyue watched the food stamps gradually change from a substitute to currency little by little, and now even the caravans from other Western Regions countries such as Gaochang are using food stamps!

In the past, Mingyue admired these famous ministers of the Central Plains Dynasty very much, but now she feels that compared with the chief, these people are no more than Erer!

The leader's words are very right, sometimes, it seems to be taking advantage, but in fact, taking advantage is a loss! Now Datang seems to have taken a big advantage in the whole contract signing process, but they have lost what is really important!
