Chapter 357 Paper money is rampant in Jiangnan
After listening to the words of chasing life, Fumeng Lingcha couldn't help but smile, and then very respectfully took the holy decree handed over by his hands, and at the same time, he took out the handsome seal talisman held by the Anxi Duhufu and handed it to Chase, and Chaser saw that the old man Fumeng handed over the things so happily, and the whole person seemed to be relieved to Fumeng Lingcha and saluted with a fist, and at the same time waved his hand, and the accompanying inner attendant took the handsome seal and talisman very quickly and then withdrew from the big tent.
"Old general, the sage also instructed before he came to his humble post that the three Lang Jun of the old general's family had excellent grades and excelled in the military academy, so he made an exception to allow the three of them to be directly promoted to lieutenant colonels of the Beijing Guard Army without taking the martial arts examination...... Hereditary repudiation ......"
Chasing the fate of Li Mao's dictation word by word, and when the old man Fumeng heard such a large list of favors from the court to the Fumeng family, he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and he also understood that these were Li Mao's appeasement ...... for decades on the battlefield, and then at this moment he was even more afraid that it was Li Mao's means of the new monarch, not only was he respectful to himself on the surface, and he did not leak, but even secretly arranged it foolproof, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the slightest objection before, he wouldn't have thought of these graces and powers now. The protégé of the Son of Heaven alone had already controlled more than 200,000 Anxi troops, and what was even more terrifying was that he didn't know about these things until today as the commander of the first army.
However, it was precisely because Li Mao came so single-handedly that the old man Meng Lingcha was a little caught off guard that the Anxi Protectorate was able to have a smooth transfer of power without any turmoil, and because of this, Li Mao also completely held all the power around the Tang Dynasty, including Jiannan Dao, which was originally controlled in the hands of Gao Xianzhi, in his own hands, and even the cronies who were installed by Li Longji when he was in power before were completely replaced by the new army that came out of the Chang'an Martial Arts Hall.
However, Li Mao's series of manipulations of this modern man, what frightened the enemy the most was not the expansion of the territory and the rectification of the army, but the silent monetary and economic warfare, especially when he returned to Jiangnan with not very fruitful results after two years of lobbying, and when he saw that the people in the streets and alleys of Lin'an City were shopping with the newly issued banknotes issued by the Tang Dynasty, his heart was almost bleeding.
Because the vision of the old boy Qingfeng is different from ordinary people after all, he didn't even have to think about it to guess that during the period when paper money was rampant in Jiangnan, those clans in Zhejiang Dongdao must have made a lot of money, and his thinking of drawing inferences from one case to another was that Li Mao's large-scale issuance of paper money was definitely not as simple as others thought, so that he had a merciless attack on the spot at the celebration banquet held by the crown prince Li Heng.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I humbly ask you to immediately order the abolition of the paper Tang treasure banknotes circulating in the Jiangnan market, lest in the future, my Zhejiang Dongdao will be hindered by the puppet emperor Li Mao of Chang'an in the matter of silver money...... Wechen believes that the current commercial prosperity in Zhedong Province is caused by Li Mao's arrangement...... Hence ......"
"Okay, okay, Qingfeng you have been gone for three years, at this time just rushed back, maybe I am a little unfamiliar with many things in eastern Zhejiang, let's take the wind and wash the dust for you first, and it is not too late to discuss other things another day, the pros and cons of the Datang treasure banknote are not clear in a few words! Come to this prince to enter you first, not for anything else, just for the breeze, you can bring 50,000 horses of the Western Regions back to Lin'an safe and sound...... Such a feat is ......"
Although he was a little impatient, he was not a person who didn't know how to lift, and Li Heng gave him face like this, of course he had to give his Royal Highness the crown prince enough face, so after hesitating for a moment, he immediately raised his glass and drank three glasses in a row. "Thank you His Royal Highness the Prince, Wechen borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to Li Xianggong a cup, Wechen heard that in the past two years, Li Xianggong has worked hard for the construction of my Zhejiang East Road, working day and night, and this Tang treasure money seems to be promoted by Li Xianggong, I don't know if it is or not?"
Li Linfu is cunning and cunning, obedient and arguing, when he urged Qingfeng to say what this guy said, after hiding the needle in the mian, he immediately got up and bowed to Li Heng respectfully hugged his fists, and then turned to urge Qingfeng to speak softly, "Urging the elder brother to speak seriously, I can get His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regardless of the past suspicions, and entrust him with important responsibilities, since he should repay each other with liver and brain, the things you just said are within the division, as for the elder brother, there seem to be many misunderstandings about the treasure banknote!" Everything has pros and cons, although all of you here are not as amazing as you, but you are not stupid people, how can you not know the good intentions of Chang'an? ”
As soon as the master opened his mouth, he knew if there was one, after Li Linfu said this, he not only removed the responsibility for himself, but also elevated the person in the same position, and finally slapped Qingfeng in the ear, because the meaning of his words was very clear, that is, you are not the only smart person in the world of the Tang Dynasty who urges Qingfeng.
And urging Qingfeng of course also heard Li Linfu's counterattack, even if he had just promised Li Heng to postpone the matter of the treasure money before discussing it, but now that Li Linfu handed the waist knife to his neck, he could admit it again. So without waiting for Li Heng to continue to play the round, he quickly opened his mouth and counterattacked. "According to what Li Xianggong said, then all the princes here are well aware of Li Mao's vicious intentions, and they are urging a certain foolishness, since they know that they can't do it, why do they do it?"
"Urging brother, you have your reason, I have my reason, but when everyone is reasonable, should you avoid the important and do it, this official dares to ask Brother Urging, you say, compared with the life of the people in the entire eastern Zhejiang Province, is the conspiracy you said is important or their eating and drinking is important! Do you know that if I don't trade with the outside world in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, at least a few months, or more than a year, there will not even be enough cattle to use the cultivated land, and I have only been cultivating the mountains and forests in East Zhejiang Province for a few years. ”
As soon as Li Linfu's words came out, everyone present couldn't help but nod in agreement, and even Li Heng glanced at Qingfeng helplessly on the spot, and then secretly became sad. "Li Xianggong, you are clearly answering the question, urging a certain party is not against trade with the outside world, urging a certain person also knows how can a corner of the land be under siege, but is this trade and the large-scale use of paper money necessarily related? Wouldn't anyone want the silver for nothing? Li Xianggong, you used to be the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, how can you not know the power of this banknote, today 100 yuan may be able to buy 10 stone of rice grain, so tomorrow the Chang'an puppet dynasty will print the banknote at will, do you know the consequences of this matter? ”
Before urging Qingfeng's words was finished, Li Linfu immediately laughed and said, "If you know how much thought Li Mao has put into implementing the new paper money policy, then you will not say such a shallow delusion of a child's family at this moment, and indiscriminately issue treasure money to deal with me Zhejiang Dongdao, then you really underestimate Li Mao, although the official can't calculate the hexagram, but he should also conclude that Li Mao will never do such a thing as self-destruction of the Great Wall......"
"Why not?" When Qi Qingfeng blurted out this question, Li Linfu sat down again with a smile as if he was selling a pass, and didn't say a word more. -->
