Chapter 425: Putting the currency in order
As soon as these murderous words came out, the hall was really gasping.
There is no shortage of ruthless people here, who have really done everything on the battlefield.
But these ruthless people were frightened by Li Yunze's words.
Even Li Er looked at Li Yunze dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Regarding everyone's reaction, Li Yunze was a little unimpressed.
These guys don't know how terrible the family gate valve is, it is a monster that will blow and grow again even if only one weed is left for them.
The sole purpose of their existence is to oppress the people and exploit them brutally, so as to provide for themselves and their families' arrogance and indulgence.
If you do a little bit of good things, and do something behind your back, I don't know how many greasy donations or something, you will be blown into the sky by the so-called media, and you can fool the people.
Li Yunze is very, very aware of this, so when he was in the parallel world before, he always cut the grass and eradicated the roots, not giving him a chance to revivacate.
It's just that Li Er at this time doesn't have the courage to break the boat, or he has more concerns, and it's not like Li Yunze has unattainable confidence.
Li Yunze has done a bad job, he can use a large amount of materials and technology to drown out all the opposing forces, but he really can't just pat his ass and leave.
But if Li Er messes up, it is really possible that the country will be ruined like his cousin.
So after being silent for a long time, Li Er asked directly, "What else can I do?" ”
"Open the people's wisdom."
Li Yunze immediately stated: "The family gate valve monopolizes knowledge, which means that he monopolizes the official position of the imperial court. Only by opening the people's wisdom and cooperating with the imperial examination, so that the people have hope to go up, can the monopoly of the family gate valve be broken. Losing its monopoly position, any family gate valve can be successful
Stinky fish and rotten shrimp. ”
"Shang Jun has a word..."
As soon as Fang Xuanling spoke, Li Yunze simply interrupted, "The weak people, the poor people, the tired people, the humiliating people, the foolish people." The people are used as dogs, and they are only worthy of being tools, and they must be tools from generation to generation. He deserved to be torn apart! ”
"The two Han Dynasty are only 200 years old, and the world is in chaos. The root cause is to treat the people as animals. Li Yunze looked around and said loudly, "The same is true of the Tang Dynasty, at most, it is more than two hundred years of luck. ”
The hall was completely dumbfounded, and he dared to say in front of Li Er that the Tang Dynasty only had two hundred years of national fortune... They usually shout long live.
Li Er, who has a black face, wants to go crazy, but...
"We'll talk about it later." Li Er knew that the family was involved in last night's incident, but their power was too huge to do it easily.
And there are so many people here, as the so-called people are too talkative, and it is not suitable to talk about things here.
Datang's 200 years of luck or something, it is regarded as Li Yunze's nonsense. After all, this person can't be judged by common sense.
After arranging things, everyone dispersed to work.
Li Er left Li Yunze, and the two had really important things to talk about.
"In addition to the family, the matter of enlightening the people's wisdom does not have to be said frankly in public." Li Er first admonished: "I have my own arrangements in my heart for this matter, and we should take it step by step and not be in a hurry." ”
Li Yunze scoffed at these remarks.
He knew very well what Li Er's true mentality was.
In fact, Li Er, or all the emperors, are using Shang Ying's method to turn the people into sand and wilt to help control.
If the wisdom of the people is really opened, the people who have opened their eyes will not be satisfied with the life in front of them, once there is turmoil, Datang will not even have 20 years of national fortune.
Therefore, Li Yunze has never put his hope on any emperor, what noble, what celebrity, or what saint.
People still have to rely on themselves.
Li Yunze didn't want to do so many things, after all, the parallel world was endless, and he couldn't go to one and change the world.
With that time and energy, wouldn't it be more comfortable to explore some secluded forests and secret valleys, and people with small bridges and flowing water.
But since he came this time, and he also chose to go behind the scenes, this kind of thing has to be done for a while.
It doesn't matter if the family is against it, Li Er's attitude is ambiguous, he will let everyone know what it means to force the development of social productive forces to advance knowledge.
Mere suppression cannot resist the rolling torrent of the industrial age.
These things were put aside for the time being, and Li Yunze proposed a brand new thing to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, the current monetary system of the Tang Dynasty is chaotic, and it is very inconvenient to mix physical objects with copper coins." Li Yunze put forward his own proposal: "How about rectifying the currency? ”
Li Er is obviously interested," elaborate. ”
"Nowadays, the exchange ratio of gold and silver in Datang is one to ten, and the ratio of silver to copper money is one to one." Li Yunze immediately came up with a plan that had already been prepared: "According to this ratio, cancel the monetary attribute of silk silk, and replace it with gold, silver and copper coins." ”
The unification of the currency is indeed a good thing, but it is also very difficult, first of all, the amount of precious metals is insufficient, and secondly, the abolition of physical currencies such as silk silk will lead to chaos, and those who have silk at home will make trouble.
When Li Er raised these questions, Li Yunze immediately said, "Set a time limit, before that, if you have silk and silk and other physical objects at home, you can go to various places to change them to copper, gold, and silver." ”
"As for the lack of precious metals, it's not difficult."
Speaking of this, Li Yunze immediately laughed, "When it comes to gold and silver, it is far away in the sky and close in front of you." The Wa Kingdom, which is across the sea from Datang, has a huge mountain of gold and silver, and its stock is enough to meet the needs of Datang. As for copper coins, as I said before, Luzon
There is a large copper mountain in my son. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Er's eyes lit up.
In any era, precious metals are not enough.
In fact, in terms of the current population of Datang, the amount of precious metals needed is far less than imagined.
Both the gold and silver of the Japanese Kingdom and the copper mines of Luzon were sufficient to meet the demand, and there was no need to sail to distant South Africa to dig for gold.
"Your Majesty."
Li Yunze followed up and said, "The copper mines on Luzon Island have begun large-scale mining. Although I have provided some mining tools, there is still a shortage of labor. The natives were so lazy that even a leather whip would not improve their efficiency. This time
Gao Chang and Tuyuhun, can they catch a lot of people? ”
"That's right." Li Er immediately nodded knowingly, "Gaochang and Tuguhun burned the palace, and the crime is unforgivable." Since the king Khan, all prisoners have been criminals! Assigned to Luzon mines. ”
The mining industry in this era was extremely cruel, and the ore dug up had to be filled in and replaced with human lives.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are precious, and they are an important resource for him to pay taxes to Li Er, how can they be easily consumed in the mines.
Gao Chang and Tuyuhun were unlucky, just in time.
Li Yunze kindly reminded, "There are also coal mines and iron mines in China. The coal, iron and oil mines in Yanzhou all require a large number of manpower. ”
"Hmm." Li Er nodded approvingly, "It is no longer enough to rely on the prisoners and the Kunlun slaves bought, and the attack on Gaochang and Tuyuhun must be carried out as soon as possible." ”
Picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote two telegrams, and called the chamberlain outside the hall to take them to the telegraph room and send them to Li Jing and Hou Junji on the front line.
】
After arranging this matter, Li Er thought about what Li Yunze said about the gold and silver of the Japanese Kingdom before, "I heard that it was the Japanese who assassinated you last night?" ”
"That's right." Li Yunze, who understood what he meant, immediately said with a smile: "Anyway, the assassins all call themselves Japanese people." ”
"How daring!"
Li Er, who was possessed by the actor, immediately snorted coldly, and directly detained the black cauldron to death, "When I wait for me, I will find the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, and ask them what they want to do!" If it can't be explained clearly, then the Tang Heavenly Soldiers will have to ask for an explanation. ”
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, how can it be explained clearly?"
"How about paying 20,000 taels of gold a year, 200,000 taels of silver?"
"Not enough." Li Yunze shook his head again and again: "It's almost the same as ten times." ”
Hearing this, Li Er immediately gasped, "There is so much gold and silver in the Japanese country?!" ”
Li Yunze naturally knew this matter clearly, the Japanese state was extremely prosperous, and the annual output of silver was as high as 200 tons, and a single Iwami silver mountain could produce forty or fifty tons of silver in a year.
Just two million taels of silver, not worth mentioning.
As for gold, there are so many gold mountains in the Wa Kingdom, it is not a problem to get a few tons a year.
Li Er, whose eyes began to redden, slapped the table in front of him hard, got up and shouted angrily, "The country is bold!" There is so much gold and silver... Ahem, you dare to assassinate the Tang Dynasty, the crime is unforgivable! ”
Li Yunze really wanted to say, there are just the two of us here, there is no need to perform so hard, and there is no other audience.
Just that... Never mind.
"Your Majesty, there are also a lot of natives in the Wa Kingdom." He kindly reminded that "these people can devote themselves directly to mine production, which can save the trouble of a large number of population transfers." Moreover, although there are not many fields in the Wa Kingdom, the yield is high. There's a lot of production over there
Rice can effectively supplement the food shortage in Datang. ”
As for the fate of the local natives after they were thrown into the mines, what did the local people eat after the local grain rice was transported to the Tang Dynasty. No one really cares about these things, anyway, whether it is Li Er or Li Yunze, they don't care.
No way, who made you weak.
When he was weak, the generals in the family hung up, and they all had to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, saying that they were unlucky and had nothing to do with others!
"Okay."
Li Er nodded again and again: "I will arrange this matter." ”
After talking about these things, Li Er changed the topic, "It just so happens that you are here today, and I still have something to ask for here." ”
Li Yunze smiled, "Please speak." ”
"My sons are stubborn and have a lot of headaches." Li Er sighed for a long time: "I want to send them under your name to learn from you, how about it?" ”
Sure enough, it came.
Since he decided to accept Yu Chi Baolin as a disciple, Li Yunze knew that there would be such a day.
None of Li Er's sons are fuel-efficient lamps.
But it doesn't matter, Li Yunze also wants to teach these princes and noble sons the concept of outward expansion in this way, which is better than them holding the book of saints all day long and then frantically fighting in the nest.
After a slight groan, Li Yunze nodded his head, "Yes." ”
A few days later, Li Yunze entered the palace again to see Li Er.
At the door, I saw the wailing and aggrieved envoy of the Japanese country, and the aggrieved call was like Du Juan's crying blood, which made people cry sadly and wept.
Listening to the envoy's incessant shouting, 'Wronged~The Japanese country has never done it~~We are wronged~~~' Li Yunze couldn't help but want to laugh.
He planned to advise Li Er later that when he really started a war with the Japanese State, he could use the loss of two Tang Army sergeants as an excuse.
"Your Majesty, there are good things."
When he saw Li Er, Li Yunze took out the things he brought from the modern world.
A gold coin, a silver coin, a copper coin.
