Chapter 0245: Dou Fang, what do you think

Uncle Cousin and Dr. Yuan, are you okay?

Just asked so lightly, and the two of them were stunned on the spot, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Long time no see?

- Didn't you just see it this morning!!

This morning, Liu Sheng went to Beiying······

"Hmmm······"

"What does that mean······"

Dou Ying hesitated and muttered, which provoked Yuan An's complicated face and nodded, and he also pressed back the second half of Dou Ying's words again.

After a while, it was Yuan Ang who was the first to react, and hurriedly got up with a natural smile and bowed his hand to Liu Sheng.

"Thank you, Your Highness;"

"——Since the past, after the incident of King Liang, the ministers rarely went out and walked around."

"I stayed at home all day, although I was a little depressed, but I was able to live a solid life."

"As for Wei Qihou······"

smiled lightly and said, 'I haven't been out for a long time', and saw Yuan Ang looking at the side meaningfully, still with a little stunned Dou Ying on his face.

was stared at by Yuan An's eyes full of meaning, and Dou Ying gradually came to his senses;

After Liu Sheng also followed Yuan An's gaze and looked at him with concern, Dou Ying, who finally figured out the situation, hurriedly surrendered his hand to Liu Sheng.

"Since serving as the crown prince, the minister has rarely gone out and walked;"

"What kind of knowledge should be used to teach His Royal Highness, it really makes the minister distressed."

"In the past few days, the minister has become even more worried, so he recuperated at home······"

Learning from Yuan An's rhetoric, he also said that he 'hasn't been out recently', Dou Ying subconsciously looked at Yuan Ang beside him;

In the upper lord's seat, I heard that my cousin Dou Ying was actually "worried about how to teach the prince" and "became sick", but Liu Sheng just smiled and lowered his head;

That is, he did not express concern about Dou Ying's 'illness', nor did he say something like 'just teach anything' to eliminate this worry for Dou Ying.

——The three people in the hall are clear: Dou Ying's remarks are afraid that there is not even half a word of truth.

Even if it was true, Dou Ying would soon no longer have to worry about it······

"In this way, when the two of you came to the door today, they also heard that my father handed over the money to me, so they came to give me advice?"

After a short silence, Liu Sheng asked with an excited expression, and did not forget to lean forward his upper body slightly with great interest;

Such a move made Dou Ying and Yuan Ang fall into a brief stunned moment again.

"Uh······"

"Yes, it does."

"I heard that His Majesty handed over the matter of money to His Highness, and we were worried that His Highness would not have a good plan, so we came to the door together;"

"I don't want to be able to give advice to His Highness, I just hope that when His Highness needs it, I can do something for His Highness······"

With a stiff smile, Yuan Ang lowered his head slightly, and quickly thought about something about coins.

On Yuan An's side, seeing that he was 'accumulating worries and becoming ill', he couldn't even exchange Liu Sheng's least concern, and Dou Ying only lowered his head with a depressed face.

——Regarding the imminent loss of his position as the crown prince and concubine, Dou Ying certainly knew in his heart;

But Dou Ying never expected that his cousin Liu Sheng would turn his face so quickly······

"I haven't even resigned, Your Highness ······"

"Alas······"

Liu Sheng obviously didn't know anything about what Dou Ying was thinking, or complaining.

If he knew, Liu Sheng would definitely remind him 'kindly': Won't it?

Uncle Cousin wouldn't really think that this morning, I hadn't been to Beiying and hadn't seen Uncle Cousin in Zhou Yafu's Chinese army tent, right?

My cousin doesn't really think I'm a broad-minded person like the first emperor, right?

Obviously: What happened in Beiying today caused an irreparable estrangement between Liu Sheng and Dou Ying's uncle and nephew.

Regarding Dou Ying's attitude of 'obviously becoming the crown prince and concubine as he wished, but he is still thinking about the emperor's eldest son Liu Rong', Liu Sheng's last trace of patience has been completely exhausted today, in the big tent of the Chinese army in Beiying.

If it weren't for Dou Ying's surname 'Dou', and he was his elder, Liu Sheng would have been able to directly kick Dou Ying to Kanto and give his eldest brother Liu Rong the prince of Linjiang.

- Don't you want to be the eldest son of the emperor?

- Then go, Lone satisfies you!

Although he had such thoughts in his heart, on the surface, Liu Sheng still looked at Dou Ying with a smile and put on a posture of 'that cousin gave me an idea'.

The reason is very simple: Dou Ying, surname 'Dou';

He is the most promising one among the contemporary children of the Dou family, the family of the Empress Dowager Dou of the dynasty.

As the crown prince who has just been crowned, has almost no foundation and wings to speak of, Liu Sheng can not give face to Dou Ying, and he can not save face for his cousin, Wei Qihou of the Han family;

You can't even save face for your teacher and your own prince!

But only can I save face for Dou Ying, who represents Dou's relatives and the Empress Dowager Dou······

"From now on, let's be a happy marquis······"

"Good ······ for everyone"

looked at his cousin Dou Ying with a light smile, and let out a sigh in his heart, Liu Sheng finally let out a light sigh.

When this sigh attracted Dou Ying and Yuan An's attention to himself, he saw Liu Sheng naturally shake his head, and let out a wry smile inexplicably.

"The money thing really bothers me······

"Don't say it's done, even if you say it, I don't know where to start······"

···

"Uncle Cousin and Doctor Zhong, since they all came to the door for this matter, they should already have an idea, right?"

"I wonder if I can ······?"

Pretending to be distressed, he said, 'Would you like to talk to me?' After politely glancing at his cousin Dou Ying, Liu Sheng's gaze quickly locked on Yuan An.

- Dou Ying, is a relative;

Even before the outbreak of the Wuchu Rebellion, before he was named the Marquis of Wei Qi, appointed as a general, or even when he did not become the prince and the prince, Dou Ying was also a relative who grew up with a golden key.

It is obviously too difficult to expect a relative, especially a 'Confucian' relative like Dou Ying, to put forward specific views on such a national event as coins, which are really related to the people's livelihood and people's livelihood.

On the contrary, in the past twenty or thirty years, Yuan An, an evergreen tree who has always been active in the government and the opposition, has made Liu Sheng have some expectations.

And Yuan An's next words are enough to show that Liu Sheng's expectations are not used on the wrong person.

"The two of us came to the door for this purpose."

"Since His Royal Highness also took the initiative to ask about this matter, the minister dared to speak······"

He smiled politely, and when Liu Sheng also smiled softly, and made a 'please' gesture, he saw that Yuan Ang was in good shape, and his face suddenly took on a little seriousness.

"My Han family's money system is indeed as His Highness said: chaotic and chaotic."

"- Qin half tael, pod three baht, Empress Dowager Lu eight baht, Emperor Taizong four baht, and even the coins of the old countries, such as sword coins, are now circulating all over the world."

"Even the main circulation of Qin Banliang, Empress Dowager Lu eight baht, Emperor Taizong four baht, is a county, or even a county, a township, there is a new exchange ratio······"

···

"Although it is said that King Yingzheng of Qin was tyrannical and made the people of the world suffer from the tyranny of Qin, even Emperor Taizu Gao recognized Yingzheng's move of minting half a tael of coins and unifying the currency system of the world."

"It is precisely because of this that Emperor Taizu Gao once ordered Shaofu to cast the Han Dynasty and half two lines in the world;"

"It's a pity that it backfired - Emperor Taizu Gao originally wanted to unify the currency system and replace Qin with Han and a half tael, but because the people wantonly minted three baht pods that were not heavy and colored, they failed to achieve the desired effect."

"Later, Empress Dowager Lu made eight baht money, and Emperor Taizong Xiaowen made four baht money, which was originally to eliminate the disadvantages of three baht pod money, but it also made my Han family all kinds of miscellaneous money parallel, and the tax collection was inconvenient, and the people were also miserable······"

With Yuan An's words full of nostalgia and faint opportunities, Liu Sheng's face gradually became serious.

Regarding Yuan An's 'modification' of Taizu's three-baht coin, Liu Sheng did not show anything abnormal.

As the founder of the Han family, Liu Bang, Emperor Taizu Gao, would order Shaofu to mint inferior coins weighing three baht, but the face value was as high as twelve baht, and the copper content was touching?

No way!

When pigs fly!!!

But if Emperor Taizu Gao 'benevolence and love for the people' allowed the people to mint money privately, it led to the emergence of such inferior money?

Well~

It's a possibility······

In fact, what the real situation is, of course Liu Sheng knows it in his heart;

Yuan Ang also understood in his heart;

Dou Ying on the side, as well as people all over the world, are even clearer.

But knowing is knowing, how to say this, that is a science.

Obviously, Yuan Ang has a profound knowledge in this discipline called 'the art of language'······

"What Dr. Zhong said is very true."

"Emperor Taizu Gao, originally just wanted to replace the original Qin half-tael with Han Banliang;"

"However, because of his benevolence, Emperor Taizu Gao allowed the people to mint money privately, which led to the popularity of a lot of undercolored and insufficient pods."

"It is these private pods that make Emperor Taizu Gao's good governance fail to bear the good fruits it deserves."

···

"By the time of the first emperor, Emperor Xiaowen, who was also benevolent to the world, also ordered that the people would no longer be prohibited from minting money privately;"

"And this time, another king of Wu Liu Bi appeared, relying on the first emperor's "Xu Minchi Shanze" order, in the feudal country to mine copper on a large scale, and then use copper to cast money, accumulating extremely huge wealth."

"——It is precisely with these wealth that Liu Bi was able to exempt the people of Wu from all taxes, in order to buy the hearts of the people, and to accumulate hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally accumulate enough power to cause trouble to the temple and the community."

···

"For this matter, the father has already calculated;"

"The court is also planning to once again prohibit private coinage, and once again return the power of coinage to the court."

"——Only in this way can we avoid the next Liu Bi, Liu Wu and the like, and accumulate enough power to cholera the world with the benefits of minting money."

"And what my father asked me to do is to unify the currency system of the world, so that my Han family is the same as Qin at the time of Yingzheng, and there is only one kind of money circulating in the city."

"That's what I'm worried about right now, and I don't know where to start······"

With a solemn expression, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After Yuan Ang nodded slowly with the same thoughtful face, Liu Shengcai continued: "Compared with stabilizing grain prices, this unified currency system is too complicated. ”

"In particular, on the basis of a unified currency system, it is necessary to prohibit private coinage;"

"This means that in the future, after the father and emperor issued an edict to unify the currency system and only allow a certain kind of money to circulate, all other types of coins will need to be collected and minted in Shaofu."

"This huge amount of work, whether Shaofu can bear it or not, and how long it will take to complete it, is still second;"

"How to take back the money that is no longer allowed to circulate from the hands of the people to Shaofu and cast it into new money that can be circulated is what really gives me a headache······

As he said this, Liu Sheng shook his head and sighed again, and then his eyes full of sorrow fell on Yuan Ang who was not far away.

And after Liu Sheng said these words, especially the last sentence of 'how to get the money back from Shaofu', Yuan Anben was still full of solemn faces, and only a touch of surprise appeared!

"Collect money and enter the Shaofu!"

"——Previously, His Royal Highness sold cheap grain to the prince of Chang'an······"

"There is also a sub-money merchant without salt······"

"Hiss~~~"

At this moment, the scattered memories that were originally scattered in Yuan An's mind were finally strung together.

- Liu Sheng has been doing this for a long time!

Think about what Liu Sheng did after the autumn harvest last year, when he was ordered to preside over the stabilization of grain prices in Guanzhong, and when he opened Taicang to sell cheap grain?

Sell grain to the prince, and collect the money and gold;

When they bought the grain from the prince, they gave it all gold without exception!

Why is that?

Is it because gold is not as valuable as copper coins?

Or is Liu Sheng really so kind-hearted that he can't bear to pit those thirty or so princes too miserably?

- Don't say it!

Don't talk about it!

Yuan Ang thought so before!

Knowing that Liu Sheng bought back the grain of the princes and paid for it in gold, Yuan Ang simply thought that Liu Sheng didn't want to do things desperately, but wanted to leave a little leeway and leave some coffins for the princes;

It wasn't until now, when Liu Sheng talked about money, that Yuan Ang reacted in hindsight: the truth is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

sold grain to the princes, and then bought the grain back, Liu Sheng received copper coins, but all he gave was gold;

After the matter of stabilizing grain prices was over, those grain merchants who originally wanted to raise grain prices were not liquidated by Liu Sheng, but the Ziqian merchant Wuyan clan was inexplicably wiped out by Liu Sheng!

Regarding the Wuyan clan, Yuan Ang also took it for granted before: Liu Sheng excluded dissidents, and cut off the legs of Wang Meiren's mother, the Changlingtian clan, by virtue of food.

But now, Yuan Ang understands······

"As early as when Taicang was opened and the princes were sold cheap grain, His Royal Highness was already recovering copper coins for Shaofu;"

"After that, the Wuyan clan was confiscated, just for the tens of thousands of copper coins that the Wuyan clan had accumulated over the years."

"—As early as the beginning of the matter of stabilizing food prices, Your Highness was already preparing for the matter of money······"

···

"Fourteen Years Old ······"

"I'm only fourteen years old······"

"Your Majesty ······ when he was fourteen"

Looking at Liu Sheng, who was sitting upright with sorrow in front of him, he had started planning the layout early in the morning, but at this moment he was putting on a posture of 'worrying me to death', and even waiting for Liu Sheng, who was waiting for himself to give him an 'idea', Yuan Ang only shook his head suddenly;

Yuan Ang remembered that more than 20 years ago, when the then crown prince Qi was fourteen years old, Liu Xian, the beloved crown prince of Wu King Liu Bi, had just been stoned to death by a chessboard falling from the sky······

"Dr. Yuan;"

"Doctor Yuan?"

When his mind was scattered, a few low calls came from his ears, pulling Yuan An's mind back to his eyes;

Xunsheng raised his head and saw Liu Sheng, who was sitting at the top, looking at himself with some doubts, as if he was waiting for him to 'make a plan', Yuan Ang was slightly stunned.

After a long time, Yuan Ancai finally completely recovered his scattered thoughts;

But even Yuan Ang himself didn't realize that when he looked at Liu Sheng's gaze, something was inexplicably there.

What that thing was, Liu Sheng didn't know.

But Liu Sheng vaguely remembered: In front of his father Liu Qi, most people will carry this thing in their eyes······

"When it comes to money, the minister doesn't have a good solution."

"——Originally, I thought that His Majesty's explanation of His Highness's affairs was just to mint new money, and then let His Highness mint new money in parallel with all kinds of old money;"

"I never thought that His Majesty had decided to prohibit the people from minting money privately, and asked His Highness to start unifying all kinds of miscellaneous money that are now circulating in the world into a certain kind of coin······"

···

"Indeed, as His Highness said: this matter is very complicated, and it also needs to be very careful."

"If there is a slight mistake, it will have a very long-term bad impact on the whole world, just like the three-baht pod money during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao."

"In this matter, Your Highness should probably consult with someone who is well-versed in this way, especially someone who is familiar with the benefits and disadvantages of matters related to money, such as Shaofu."

"In addition, I should ask the Queen Mother and Her Majesty more ······"

Sure that Liu Sheng had a plan, and even started to do this a long time ago, Yuan Ang naturally didn't bother much, and generously said, 'Your Highness should talk to a professional about this matter'.

- Anyway, today, Yuan Ang and Dou Ying came to the door, and it was not really for this matter;

Therefore, Yuan Ang finally brought another sentence: ask the Queen Mother and Her Majesty for more instructions to show his attitude of 'everything is in accordance with the orders of the Queen Mother and His Majesty'.

Regarding the intention of Yuan An's statement, Liu Shengzi is also clear;

only pretended to sigh regretfully, and put on a posture of 'Dr. Zhong has no good plan, it's a pity', and turned his head slightly.

"Where's my cousin?"

"Is there any good way for my cousin to deal with money?"

"Or do you mean that it's the same as Doctor Yuan - I also think that I should discuss this matter with my grandmother and father?"

Previously, looking at the conversation between Liu Sheng and Yuan An, Dou Ying only felt that it was not a taste in his heart;

When Liu Sheng's question came into his ears without warning, Dou Ying was stunned for a moment, and blinked with astonishment.

looked at Yuan Ang beside him for a while, and then recalled Liu Sheng's words, and Dou Ying, who finally came back to his senses, had to bow his head stiffly and bow his hand to Liu Sheng.

"The minister's opinion is the same as that of Dr. Yuan······"

"In this matter, Your Highness should ask the Queen Mother and Her Majesty for advice."

"As long as the Queen Mother and Her Majesty think it is feasible, there will be no problem······

The fever subsided, and the throat was hoarse.

But as we all know: codewords don't need a voice.

So ~ two more today (dog head)

But it is still a bit slow to write, and this chapter may have taken five hours to write······

The next chapter should be in the middle of the night, please understand.
