There is no problem with Chang'an's accounting.

This is a city that is developing with each passing day, and it is a norm.

Dozens or hundreds of shops or workshops open in Chang'an City every day, and new merchants enter Chang'an from the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest every day, injecting new capital and vitality into the city.

Therefore, his account books and records are always lagging behind, and although Chang'an City has the largest number of account offices in the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to clearly record the changes that occur in the city every day.

Basically, all the ambitious merchants, caravans, sent their goods to Chang'an, and after completing the first appreciation of the goods here, they would sell their goods through Chang'an's developed commercial wholesale and then sell them.

Many times, there will be a strange phenomenon, such as Luoyang merchants would rather transport their own goods to Chang'an, after repackaging, marked with the Chang'an mark, and then shipped back to sell to Luoyang people, after doing so, they will not lose money, on the contrary, make more money.

Not all goods are eligible to be stamped with the blue Big Wild Goose Pagoda watermark logo, as long as there is this blue Big Wild Goose Pagoda watermark logo of the goods, there is no doubt that it is the Chang'an goods that people often say, which is the first class of goods in the world.

Li Jingxuan visited the large-scale stamping office in Chang'an City, where the people in charge of stamping carried all kinds of strange poor and sour looks.

As long as the miscellaneous servants of Chang'an City sent a stack of papers, these blind, lame, severed, one-eyed, one-armed people would immediately start stamping, they rarely spoke, just stamped the seal quickly and ruthlessly.

Li Jingxuan picked up a piece of hemp paper, looked at it and clearly sealed: "Hutchison hemp cake? ”

Yun Chu explained: "Originally, this bag of Hutchison sesame cakes could be sold for sixteen yuan, but after having this seal, it can be sold for twenty-two yuan, and a piece of such wrapping paper can be sold for two yuan to the government, and they can earn four more yuan." ”

Li Jingxuan looked at the hundreds of strange-shaped people at the seal office and sighed: "A certain family thinks that this seal office alone can bring more than 10,000 yuan of income to Chang'an City in a year. ”

Mi Zhushu said with a smile: "This year, it is only August, and the income has been 14,000 yuan, and it is not a problem to break 20,000 yuan by the end of the year." Excluding labor, materials and other expenses, the net income will exceed 15,000.

Therefore, the squire doesn't have to worry about my Chang'an City doing some things in the places valued by the national dynasty, and I need money, and we have a legitimate channel. ”

Li Jingxuan glanced back at this small six-grade master book, under normal circumstances, it was a great honor for an official of this level to be able to talk to him, but the six-grade master book in Chang'an City dared to face his question, and the answer was implicit.

His previous understanding of Chang'an was still too shallow, thinking that Yun Chu had other considerations for casting the golden bull at the beginning, but now it seems that people just think that there is too much money on the market......

It is not a secret that Datang lacks copper, since it no longer uses copper to cast blades, it has accumulated a lot of copper coins over the past thousand years, but it has not had much to do with the government.

As a result, there will be more money in Datang society and less money, and there is no law at all.

The twenty-four golden bulls cast in Yunchu are probably the only copper accumulation that can be put on the surface in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jingxuan is a person who reads poetry and books, and the most rare thing is that he is not pedantic, and has the ability to draw inferences.

A strange thought suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but say to Yun Chu: "If the imperial court allows Chang'an to stay in the mansion to mint money, how much will it cost?" ”

Yun Chu glanced at Li Jingxuan, shook his head and said: "On the eighteenth day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Wude, Gaozu asked people to set up a money supervisor in Luozhou, and set up new coins in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Yizhou, and allowed each to mint money.

And rewarded Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the right servant to shoot Pei Lin and a stove. They can drum and cast by themselves, and the rest are not allowed to cast privately, and those who dare to steal the cast will die, and their families will be worth 3,000 miles.

A certain family knew what the squire meant, so it was better to stop this matter. ”

Li Jingxuan shook his head solemnly and said: "In May of the fifth year of Wude, the imperial court set up a supervision bureau in Guizhou to cast Kaiyuan Tongbao money. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, a money division was set up in Zizhou, but unfortunately, these money supervisors were abolished soon after, and Yu Chu knew the reason? ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Minting money is the most important weapon of the country, and a certain family never asks about its weight, nor does it dare to ask about its size." ”

Li Jingxuan pretended not to hear Yun Chu's answer, and said to himself: "In March last year, the reason why the Guizhou Minting Bureau was abolished was that the Minting Bureau there needed to spend a consistent hundred and twenty-seven coins for every consistent coin.

The Zizhou Money Minting Division is not much better, and every time the consistent money is minted, the cost is 1,387 yuan.

The earliest Luozhou Mint Bureau did not have a copper mountain in the local area, so it took two coins to mint consistent money.

A certain family just wants to ask Yuchu, if Chang'an is to mint money, can this money-losing transaction become a money-making business? ”

Yun Chu laughed when he heard this: "Why should the squire bother so much, hasn't the imperial court already solved this problem?"

I heard that Luoyang has always had only seven or eight hundred yuan, and there is a thousand yuan there, and the imperial court only needs to pass on the loss to the people who use it. ”

Li Jingxuan's old face was slightly red and said: "If you can't pass it on, the businessmen will naturally mark the price one or two percent higher, but thirty percent." ”

Yun Chu looked at Li Jingxuan with a smile and said: "There are many old families with rich backgrounds in the Shendu, and people have not heard that they are losing money in private, as far as I know, just Chang'an Wei's can control the cost of minting money to the point where it costs seven hundred and fifty yuan." ”

Li Jingxuan sighed and said: "The cost of the government is far from being comparable to Webster's, every time Datang sets up a coinage bureau, it has to build a set of teams, not to mention the odd number of people, there is a lot of redundancy, Webster, only use its own parts, except for the loss of copper, the labor is almost negligible, and naturally cannot be compared." ”

No matter what Li Jingxuan said, Yun Chu refused to accept his opinion, for now, the chaos of the Tang Dynasty and the pitiful cost of minting money are generally beneficial to Chang'an.

Once Chang'an, a place with the most money in Datang, has no greasy tricks to drill in the middle, the overall loss is greater than the benefit.

Not to mention that Chang'an has never touched the minting of money so far, even if it has the ability, it will never do such a useless thing.

Because after the last lesson, Chang'an's wealth is mainly based on grain, silk and other goods as the subject matter, whether it is the bulk goods in and out of the flowing water brand in Qujiang, or the tax target of Chang'an, basically the way of bartering, money, the purchase and sale of bulk goods in Chang'an, does not have much influence.

Li Jingxuan has been staying in Chang'an for half a month, and he has seen a lot of places recently, and he has felt a lot, especially the flowing water brand in Qujiang, he sees it very clearly, that is, a place where southern goods go north, north goods go south, east goods run west, and west goods go east.

On the way back to the pavilion, Li Jingxuan once again came to the golden bronze bull, slapped the bronze bull vigorously and sighed: "The people in this world are really many flies and dogs, and few are dedicated to the country and the people. ”

Wei Dongcheng, the waiter of Dongtai, said: "Just move Yun Chu away from Chang'an." ”

Li Jingxuan shook his head and said, "These days, can Brother Dongcheng understand how Chang'an City works?" ”

Wei Dongcheng shook his head and said: "No, many methods are unheard of, and many methods are only seen in life. ”

Li Jingxuan said again: "What will be the scene if Chang'an City collapses or stops?" ”

Wei Dongcheng said: "Your Majesty's grand narrative of the ten tax exemptions in the world will be stopped, and the government soldiers who are already full of loopholes will also be in trouble." ”

Li Jingxuan sighed and said: "Not only that, if Chang'an stops operating, even His Majesty will find it difficult to accept."

Otherwise, with His Majesty's suspicion of his courtiers, do you think Yun Chu will be allowed to be powerful in Chang'an City for so many years?

It can be seen that His Majesty's cognition of Chang'an is far beyond you and me, which is also the reason why Yun Chu was reluctant to build the Chang'an city wall. ”

Wei Dongcheng said with emotion: "Since Your Majesty went to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, people have opened six big holes in the Chang'an city wall, with these six big holes, Your Majesty will not worry about changes in Chang'an, and at the same time, because there is no complete city wall, Your Majesty will not return to Chang'an."

There are too many demons and monsters in this Chang'an, and compared with the officials here, we are like two species, and the difference between them is even greater than the difference between us and the Turks. ”

Li Jingxuan sneered and said: "If you can't transfer Yunchu, be gentle with these people, then transfer cadres from Chang'an City, if there is a vacancy, we will continue to stuff people in, once we have learned something in Chang'an City, we will immediately transfer out and serve elsewhere." ”

Wei Dongcheng said in surprise: "In this way, wouldn't it add a lot of wings to Yun Chu in vain?" ”

Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Dog Sichong, Shouyi, one is the chief bookkeeper in Pixian County, and the other is going to participate in this year's scientific examination, it is estimated that they can pass, with their qualifications, come to Chang'an, and it is still feasible to take up the position of the most small official, a certain family does not believe it, Yunchu They have the ability to even drag my son's heart away." ”

Wei Dongcheng laughed when he heard this: "Dog Ziheng, son-in-law Dong Wen, presumably can also be sent to Chang'an for training." ”

Li Jingxuan nodded and said: "Without talent, you can't walk a long way by relying on your ancestors, we can give these children a ride, after all, the long road depends on their own, Chang'an City is a place where you can learn skills, this old man believes in without doubt." ”

In the evening, when Yun Chu was having dinner with Wen Wen, Master Mi walked in with a smile, and came over after saluting the two Shangguan and said, "Li Jingxuan, Wei Dongcheng They want to stuff their sons and sons-in-law into our various official offices in Chang'an, the princes, do we have to prepare in advance?" ”

Yun Chu glanced at the gentleness who was still eating, and shook his head and said; "As long as he comes to Chang'an to work, we will ask for as much as he comes, no matter whose son he is or whose son-in-law.

Let me tell you, Lao Mi, we have always wanted to implement the Chang'an model in the entire Datang, and now that these people are here, this is much more powerful than training some small officials without roots. ”

Gentleness followed: "Let them come, let them see for themselves how Chang'an operates, how it has become rich, what is our attitude towards the people, how we treat the court, and more importantly, let them understand what it means to be a cadre!" ”
