They were only halfway through their journey.

All the goods sold by the New South Vietnamese Kingdom in Guangzhou City, as well as the tax data of this transaction, have been sent to Chang'an City.

At the Great Pilgrimage.

The civil servants admonished the emperor:

The new South Vietnamese, which would be able to bring two million yuan in tax revenue to the national treasury, could strengthen its trade with it.

The ministers, who already used rolling paper at home, collectively seconded the proposal.

Chi Jingde, the official lieutenant of the salted fish Eguo State who rarely went to the early dynasty, also appeared:

"Your Majesty, the canned food of that small country is really a good thing, you can eat it when you open the can, and it tastes pretty good! Iron cans are resistant to falling, easy to transport, if they can really be put for three years will not be bad, and they will be used as military rations. ”

Think about the few canned abalone he ate at one meal last night, it's really fatty.

I only like to eat mutton on weekdays, and the first time I felt that the seafood was fishy, and the taste was not bad.

The military attachés all seconded the motion.

Nowadays, the food of the Tang army is not bad, that is, the most basic soldiers, they can almost get more than two catties of food a day.

Tea, wine and various legumes were also in the ranks of military rations.

In wartime, you can also eat donkey meat, mutton and a small amount of beef.

If all kinds of canned meat are included in the military rations, it will be much more convenient when the army is marching in a hurry.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty sincerely admired the ingenuity of the craftsmen of this small country in the South China Sea.

Although so far, the Ministry of Munitions has not developed the fabric of the gilly suit.

However, the dyers were inspired to print and dye a batch of linen cloth that blended in with the colors of the jungle, which was very effective in jungle lurking missions.

His Majesty the Emperor naturally adopted all the suggestions for the benefit of the country and the people.

Now, there are more important things to discuss with everyone.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the chief eunuch to carry the tray and hand the copper, silver and gold coins of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom to the ministers for viewing.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

How to see?

As long as you are not blind, you can see how exquisite this coin of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom is.

"Your Majesty, the Tianyuan Tongbao minted by the Salt and Iron Courtyard and the local workshop is not as much as the brass and copper coins of other people!"

"Their craftsmanship is truly remarkable! The orchid engraved on the back of the coin is lifelike, and the head of the lord on the front is also vividly printed. ”

"Nowadays, the currencies used by the countries of the Western Regions and overseas merchants are also gold and silver coins. In this way, these coins of the New South Vietnamese Kingdom can be used in all countries. ”

“.”

Junchen and others are talking about coins, but they are not just about coins themselves.

The cause is.

Today's policy of using coins and cloth together has affected the circulation and use of coins throughout the dynasty to a certain extent.

This is a legacy of history.

The problem can be traced back to the end of the Sui Dynasty.

At that time, the political situation was chaotic, and the economic gap between the north and the south was large.

The imperial court had been fighting for many years, and needed more coins and supplies to supply the war.

At that time, many inferior coins were issued, and the value of the coins was increased considerably.

In this situation, the coins in the whole society are no longer valuable.

The common people no longer believed in coins and switched to trading goods.

After a big circle, the way of trading is back to its most primitive period.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the people were still accustomed to completing some small transactions through cloth.

In everyday life, it may be fine to trade cloth, but when it comes to paying taxes, you must use coins.

Therefore, the people still had to save all the coins and use them to pay their taxes.

Coin = tax money.

But it doesn't have to be circulated in the market.

In such a vicious circle, the number of coins circulating in the market is naturally decreasing.

The mainstream coin of the Tang Dynasty is still the Kaiyuan Tongbao copper coin.

Gold and silver, which are precious metals, are scarce in quantity, and their liquidity is not as good as that of copper coins.

The people like to use the two to make jewelry, which has caused a shortage of two precious metal materials.

You Guozhu broke his head and didn't expect that on the first day they arrived in Chang'an City, they would meet His Majesty the legendary Heavenly Khan.

His Majesty also consulted with him on a major matter - joint coinage.

The so-called joint coinage.

It is intended to mint gold and silver coins that are common in the Tang Dynasty, the vassal states under the Tang Dynasty, and the countries that have economic and trade relations with the Tang Dynasty.

His Majesty the Emperor said, "The purity, weight, and craftsmanship of the silver and gold coins of the New Nanyue Kingdom are excellent, and I would like to entrust this task to you."

Of course, they will definitely pay enough for the raw materials and processing costs required for coinage.

Whether it is metallurgy or copper smelting in other countries, the level is unknown.

However, he was one of the few people who had visited the underground metallurgical plant in Sambaushire.

Those big magical machines, the stones sent in, and the ones that came out were all kinds of precious metals that had been purified and pressed.

Half of the processing fee, but it's a lot!

Their processing is completely costly

Taiji Palace, Lizheng Palace.

Empress Changsun, Princess Changle and Princess Yuzhang and others were shocked by the gifts sent by Mrs. You.

No, the rose gold beaded round mirror, the mirror box of the Tieli wood hundred birds and the phoenix, the jewels inlaid on the outside, blinded their eyes.

Instead, for the first time, they saw their faces so clearly from the mirror.

Princess Changle stared at herself in the round mirror without blinking: "What is this mirror made of?" It's much clearer than a bronze mirror!"

Princess Yuzhang pointed to the rose gold on the handle of the mirror: "Does gold have such a color?" ”

Mrs. You said:

"The mirror is made of a special gemstone, and the handle and frame are smelted using gold, copper, silver and other secret methods! The process and process are quite complex, and it takes three years to make 100 noodles.

Except for the special dressing mirror dedicated to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan.

This time, there are 20 rose gold beaded round mirrors and 11 iron wood mirror boxes.

The rest, I intend to sell them to the East Market for one hundred taels of gold and five hundred taels of gold."

When Empress Changsun heard her words, she sneered: "Although you send the rest of the mirrors to the Taiji Palace, the palace will let the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau pay you according to the price." ”

It's a little more expensive, but this mirror is indeed a rare treasure.

Just these dozens of mirrors are not enough for the women in the palace.

Mrs. You: Who is not selling?

A few people talked and talked, and then talked about the mirror itself.

Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but sigh: "The years are unforgiving, the palace is indeed old, and the fine lines at the corners of the eyes look so clear in the mirror." ”

"The queen mother is not old at all, and the queen mother will live forever!" Princess Changle pouted and coquettishly.

Having said that, the little girl was also a little embarrassed in her heart.

Could it be that in the future, they will also see their aging clearly through the mirror?

How could Lady You not expect this scene?

She's a mediocre little genius in business! (End of chapter)
