Hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone was also shocked, especially the eldest grandson Chong, whose expression was even tighter......

However, after thinking about it again, what Li Chengqian said was not satisfied, but it was not that he disagreed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengqian didn't care about these things, and continued: "I have been vigorously developing commerce and industry in the Ming Dynasty all these years, have you forgotten that the progress of my Ming Dynasty's agriculture and animal husbandry has been extremely slow in recent years?

Obviously, you have all eaten the dividends of industry, so you vigorously promote business and heavy industry.

But unconsciously, they neglect agriculture, animal husbandry, and education.

Is this appropriate?

The purpose of the boom was not to suppress agriculture and education.

If so, what is the difference between it and Datang?

Today's Daming is like a wooden barrel, and agriculture, industry, education, commerce, animal husbandry, etc., are all a plank on this barrel.

And how much water this barrel can hold depends not on the longest plank, but on the shortest one.

This is also Datang's current predicament, what, do we have to follow Datang's example? ”

In the past two years, although Daming has also invested in agriculture and animal husbandry, in general, it is still far from enough.

Today's Daming, rather than relying too much on Datang, the largest downstream market, is too dependent on the business model.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

When the ministers heard this, they also nodded, what Li Chengqian said was easy to understand, and it was not a big problem for them to understand.

"What Your Highness has said is that agriculture and animal husbandry really need to be taken seriously." Puxi nodded and said, "Wechen also thought about it before, whether to take advantage of the dry season to clean up the river.

This is also a boost to agriculture and animal husbandry, but in this case, the cost of national funds is not a small amount. ”

"It doesn't matter." When Li Chengqian heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Since Aiqing has this idea, let's do it, as for spending state money, hmph, the purpose of making money is to spend it!"

What's the matter, can you still give birth in the storeroom?

As long as it is a policy that benefits the country and the people, how can this king be stingy?

Moreover, this time to clean up the river, the cleaned up sediment can be directly used in the Ministry of Industry is presiding over the construction of the road, speaking of which, at this time cleaning the river is the best choice.

By the way, the Ministry of Industry is also preparing to start building a road from Deyang to Chang'an, this project is not in a hurry, slow repair is, well, the specific explanation of the king of Ming Japan and Yi Shangshu in detail. ”

"Wechen takes orders." Yi Yuanxi had known about this for a long time, and immediately bowed down to receive the order.

Li Chengqian continued: "The reason why this king said this is not that it is wrong to vigorously develop industry and commerce, but that it is a healthy country that should be balanced in all aspects.

If there is a shortcoming, it is easy for people to seize the opportunity to break through our shortcoming.

Today's Datang is a lesson for us. ”

As soon as they heard Li Chengqian say this, everyone immediately bowed down and said, "What His Highness said is very true. ”

Li Chengqian continued: "There is another problem, although my Ming Dynasty has established a country now, but speaking of which, my Ming Dynasty still does not even have a national currency.

Whether it is a private transaction or an official transaction, in addition to the most primitive barter, more often, we still use Datang's copper coins.

This is a disadvantage in itself for the business development of my Daming.

That is, those old foxes in Chang'an have not yet realized the horror of controlling currency, if they are aware, my Ming industry's industry and commerce may collapse overnight. ”

Li Chengqian has also pondered about this point for a long time.

"But I'm short of copper mines." At this moment, even Ihara shook his head.

He is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and he knows better than anyone how many minerals there are in Daming.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Why do you have to ask for copper mines?" Could it be that if Datang uses copper coins, we should also use copper coins? Absurd!

The essence of money is to circulate and trade, for the convenience of the people!

In fact, it doesn't matter what it is, whether it's copper money, iron money, even paper money is not impossible.

The important thing is that everyone agrees!

Nowadays, everyone recognizes the value of copper coins, because the production of copper coins is low, and similarly, copper coins themselves are relatively valuable.

In the final analysis, everyone recognizes and trusts copper coins.

In other words, if we can get everyone's recognition and trust, even printing paper money is not impossible. ”

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, everyone was stunned for a moment, could this Royal Highness really want to print paper money?

For a moment, everyone was a little incredulous.

Li Chengqian was not surprised to see their reaction, after all, the world's earliest banknote was Jiaozi who only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

That's it, it's all hundreds of years later.

Li Chengqian's proposal of the concept of paper money at this time was still too advanced.

"The value of money itself depends on the trust of the people after all." Li Chengqian said, "Of course, if we directly launch banknotes, there will still be a lot of resistance.

But that's not to say there's no way.

Nowadays, all the businesses in Daming will spread all over the world with Changming logistics.

At this time, if many of my Daming firms jointly launch a batch of paper vouchers, they must still be recognized.

Moreover, banknotes themselves have their own advantages, such as being easy to carry.

It's like those businessmen in Datang who want to come to my Daming to buy, and every time they have to pull a lot of copper coins from big cars and small cars.

First, it costs a lot, and secondly, it adds a lot of risks.

If it's paper money, then this problem is much easier to solve.

Of course, it is not so easy to get our banknotes recognized by the world. ”

"Your Highness, it is not difficult to implement paper money." Qi Bi He Li said, "But how to prevent counterfeiting is the top priority, as far as Weichen knows, many of Datang's copper coins are privately made."

Even the Tang Dynasty court could not put an end to this situation.

Not to mention paper money?

Moreover, the cost of paper money is too low, if I am short of money in the future, crazy printing of paper money, it will definitely cause turmoil! ”

For Daming, this thing is really a business, who doesn't know that Daming is rich in paper?

When the rest of the people heard this, they also nodded, which was what they were worried about.

"These kings have also thought about it." In order to promote paper money, Li Chengqian has made sufficient preparations, and the promotion of Changming logistics is to pave the way for the implementation of paper money for the last time.

At this time, when the audience said this, Li Chengqian also explained, "Regarding the matter of anti-counterfeiting, you don't have to worry, this king has already made arrangements."

As for how to prevent paper money from getting out of control, this king also thinks about it.

For now, the best approach is, of course, the gold standard.

In layman's terms, it is to issue paper money with the amount of gold, silver and copper coins we have in existence.

Above a certain percentage, the issuance of banknotes is prohibited as a way to ensure the value of the banknotes.

At the same time, the household department opened a silver account in the name of Daming, let's call it Daming silver.

This silver number can be exchanged for gold, silver and copper coins at any time.

At the same time, the silver number opens the house access and loan functions.

Everyone can borrow money from the silver account through personal credit and their assets as collateral. ”

"Isn't this a print money?" The eldest grandson Chong was stunned when he heard this.

In Datang, only a black-hearted guy would do this kind of immoral deed.

"No, it's not at all." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "The Daming Silver is not comparable to those who put the seals?" The purpose of putting the money in the seal is to make profits, and the loan of the Daming Silver is to help the merchants and the people get through the temporary difficulties.

Although the interest charged is not agreed, the annual interest will never exceed 10% of the principal.

On the contrary, if the merchants and the common people deposit money into the Daming Yinhao, the Daming Silver will also settle the interest on it every year. ”

One profit a year?

When everyone heard this, they also nodded, this Yicheng profit is really not much, especially in this era of daily interest, this interest is really conscientious!

On this day, Li Chengqian and these officials of the Ming Dynasty discussed for a whole day.

And it was also from this day that Daming began to enter the real rapid development!

……

……

……

Time flies like an arrow.

It's been 11 years since Zhenguan was in a flash.

In the past three years, the development of the Ming Dynasty has been obvious to all.

Since the original small court meeting, the Ming Dynasty has set its own tone of development.

It should vigorously develop itself in industry, agriculture, commerce, education, and animal husbandry.

At the same time, it passed through the Western Regions and Tibet.

In the past three years, the caravans of the Ming Dynasty have almost spread all over the countries of the Western Regions, and I dare not say that they can control the markets of the Western Regions countries 100%, but they can barely do it by mastering half of the commercial order of the Western Regions.

At the same time, the Ming court secretly also supported Qiuzi, Gaochang and other countries.

This also makes these countries that have received special support from the Ming Dynasty have become stronger and stronger in the past few years, and gradually have the ambition of annexing the surrounding countries.

It's just that because Da Ming is on the side, they have not dared to act rashly.

As for the market share that was encroached upon by Daming, hehe, they really didn't care.

According to incomplete statistics, now directly or indirectly controlled by the Ming household department and subordinate to the Ming court, there are thousands of shops.

Its footprints are all over the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and the farthest is said to have reached the Great Food Country!

After a year of exploration and exploration in the market, Daming Silver has finally officially launched the long-planned banknotes.

Although it has only been implemented for half a year now, and the recognition and acceptance are not high, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time after all.

There is no way, it is not so much that Daming is endorsing it with credibility and accumulated gold and silver, it is better to say that Daming is endorsing it with thousands of stores.

Because after the implementation of paper money in the Ming Dynasty, all the shops in the Ming Dynasty refused to settle the gold, silver and copper coins, and the only one who received the gold, silver and copper coins was the Daming Silver Number.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry has also been building a large number of foundation projects in the past three years, and there is no way, the guy who came from later generations really inherited the characteristics of the infrastructure madness of his time.

However, even so, the Chi Road in the Ming Dynasty has been repaired for less than seventy percent.

Of course, the road from Deyang to Chang'an was built more slowly......

Let's talk about education and health care.

In the past few years, Daming School and Daming Hospital have spread throughout Daming!

Especially Daming Hospital, in recent years, Daming Hospital is really famous, and many dignitaries from surrounding countries will come to Daming for medical treatment.

This also makes Daming have another business card.

Of course, Daming's education is slightly worse, but this is also a matter of no way, education itself is a long process, and it is unlikely that you will be able to see results in a short period of time.

As for Tibet, Tubo has not had a good time in the past few years, since Li Chengqian adopted the opinion of Changsun Chong and increased his support for Subi in advance, Tubo's life has been difficult.

According to the news a month ago, the two countries have suffered a great loss of vitality in the past three years of attacking each other.

In general, in the past three years, Daming has had a stable development time.

Although Chang'an's side has made repeated moves, Daming's side has also dealt with it without danger.

And Datang, in fact, has not been idle in the past three years.

Since Dai Bin died of illness in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Wen Yanbo, who was in charge of the Tang Dynasty Household Department, has been in cahoots with Fang Xuanling.

These two guys, targeting Daming's goods everywhere, to a certain extent, still dealt a certain blow to Daming's business.

Of course, these two guys didn't just do this, in the past few years, with the cooperation of the two of them and Duan Lun and others, they have indeed vigorously developed Datang's industry, and they dare not say that they have surpassed Daming, but they have indeed made a lot of achievements.

And Fang Xuanling and these guys are indeed a group of people who are good at learning, when they discovered the benefits of the Daming Silver Number, they immediately copied a Datang Silver Number in Datang.

How else to say that these people are thick-skinned, imitating other people's ways, and at the same time sending people to Sun Moon Mountain to learn scriptures.

And when they were thinking about how to strengthen the Tang Dynasty, Li Er began to find another way.

Yes, this guy still has his eyes on Southeast Asia after all.

But in the past few years, he has sent a lot of people over there to inquire about the situation, although almost every news can make him excited, but when every news comes back, it will be accompanied by the word miasma.

This made him very helpless.

He couldn't break the miasma, even if he knew that there were mountains of gold and silver over there, he couldn't do it.

It was at this time, in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, in July.

A bad news came out of Da'an Palace.

The Emperor - Li Yuan, died!

At this moment, whether it was Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others, they all panicked!

They know that turmoil is coming!

Of course, they didn't know that if the original historical trajectory was followed, Li Yuan would have died in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

But a guy who thought he wasn't ready was stunned that in the past few years, he often arranged for doctors from Daming Hospital to quietly come to take Li Yuan's pulse and prescribe medicine, which dragged it to today......

But when people are getting older, Lord Yama also ordered it, if you should die or die, the gods can't save it......

However, with Li Yuan's death, the world will not be peaceful after all......

To put it mildly, the world has been peaceful in the past few years, and it is really thanks to the old guy who lives in Da'an Palace who is still barely holding on.

And Li Yuan's death was also spread all over the world like the wind.

For a while, I don't know how many people have moved the bench, ready to sit and watch this huge turmoil that will definitely cause turmoil in the world.

There are also many people who have set their sights on the northwest, and they also want to see what those guys in the northwest will do.

After all, they're curious, too.

In the past two days, I have pondered the direction of the follow-up plot, and it should start to explode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
