"Second thing." I continued: "In the future, all taxes, except for commercial taxes, will be levied in kind, and silk will still be levied. The salaries of officials with more than 500 stone were also changed from corn to equivalent money. ”

The officials of the county did not know what the situation was, but these officials who had been in Xianyang understood.

Li Si got up and agreed: "Your Majesty is wise. In this way, the treasury will be filled with corn. ”

"I'm thinking about more than filling the treasury." I looked at Li Si and said, "Li Xiang, do you know what goods can be bought with one money now?" ”

Li Si naturally knew, and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, one piece of cloth is worth eleven yuan, and one dollar can buy about three liters of corn." ”

I continued to ask, "Do you think it makes sense?" ”

Li Si was stunned for a moment, and then he understood my intention: "Back to Your Majesty, if you look at it like this, it is indeed unreasonable." One coin weighs half a tael, but it can buy three liters of corn, and the value of the money is too high. ”

I nodded, and then I said what I meant: "Half a tael was already issued for a small amount, and the abolition of the coins of the six countries led to the sale of goods by people all over the world to obtain half a tael, and finally formed today's situation where things are cheap and expensive. ”

The Qin Dynasty, especially during the reign of Ying Zheng, was characterized by severe deflation. After Hu Hai ascended the throne, he realized this problem, and coupled with the emptiness of the treasury, this fool created a large number of bad coins, plundered the wealth of the people in disguise, caused the credit of half a tael to collapse, and hastened the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

"There are a lot of half taels piled up in the treasury, and the money is not circulating, it is just a pile of gold and stones, and it also exacerbates the depreciation of the goods, so through this move, the half taels in the treasury can enter the hands of the head of the Qian. In addition, you go back and discuss with Ge Yue whether it is necessary to issue new money, and the increasing prosperity of trade will inevitably increase the demand for money. Now there are a lot of big projects, and it is relatively easy to flow into the hands of the head of Qian. ”

As for how new money flows into society, I don't need to teach them, they are more professional than me.

Li Si and Ge Yue said yes.

"Third." I glanced at Wu Jian, then turned to Zhang Han and said, "Zhang Han, you select a suitable prison army and send it to Wu Jian's cavalry." ”

Wu Jian had no objection, and Zhang Han said yes.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zhao Tuo's heart was a little relieved: "Even Wu Jian's cavalry has also been sent to supervise the army, it seems that His Majesty has set up the prison army not only to prevent me and Meng Tian, so I feel a little at ease." ’

After these things were over, the palace lights had been lit, and I got up and said, "Let's get here today, tomorrow Zhuqing doesn't have to come to the Sihai Palace, go directly to the south gate of Xianyang to order Mao." ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

When I was gone, the crowd gathered around me.

Zhang Li stepped forward: "The two prime ministers, I don't know why you will go to the south gate of Xianyang tomorrow to order Mao?" ”

Li Si smiled: "Colleagues, don't worry too much. Your Majesty wants to expand Xianyang City, and I want to hear your opinions, and there may be some other things. Let's all go back and rest, after a tired day, don't be late tomorrow. ”

Only then did everyone rest assured and bowed and retreated.

Li Si and Feng Zai walked behind, Li You followed, Feng Zai stepped forward and said, "Li Xiang, just to expand Xianyang City?" ”

Li Si said lightly: "That's all the old man knows, what's the matter, Feng Xiang has other news?" ”

Feng Zai smiled: "Li Xiang doesn't know, how can Feng know." Li Xiang went back to rest earlier, and Feng retired. ”

After speaking, he hurried to catch up with Meng Yi and the two, not knowing what they were talking about.

Li Si shook his head and said to himself: "The old man really doesn't know, the will of heaven is unpredictable, and His Majesty's heart is even more difficult to figure out." ”

After speaking, he took Li You back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After the two went back, Li You respectfully served Li Si and changed into civilian clothes, and waited for tea, and then sat down at Li Si's signal.

The more Li Si looked at this son, the more satisfied he became, and said with a smile: "You'er, you are now past the age of establishment, and you are a county guard, so you don't have to be so restrained at home." ”

Li You said respectfully: "The elders and young are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and children dare not have the slightest trespassing." ”

Li Si nodded: "I was free two days ago, I asked your mother to prepare some rare items from Xianyang, remember to bring them to Li Chuan when you leave." ”

Li You showed a hint of a smile: "Father Xie, Chuan'er is still young now, so what is the use." ”

Li Si stroked his beard, thinking of that little grandson, and remembering that I wanted to marry Ying Tao to Li Jie, and the smile in the corner of his eyes couldn't stop.

The two chatted for a while, and Li You remembered Li Si's hint to him during the day, and talked about business: "At today's court meeting, why did my father prevent me from presenting the matter of wood to His Majesty?" ”

Li Si restrained his smile, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he responded: "Nowadays, iron smelting is all made of coal, although the trees are seriously cut down, but it is only affecting some Qianshou heating, which is not a big deal." As the father and the right prime minister, I don't know how many people are jealous, if you bring up the matter of timber, it will inevitably bring out the filth behind it, not only will you offend the county guards of the four counties along the Deshui coast, but also may be praised by Your Majesty for this, and it will make us a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others. ”

Li You obviously didn't think about it so much, and nodded slightly when he heard Li Si's words: "The trees along the Deshui coast are cut down too seriously, those people ......, and the coal is only enough for iron smelting now, and the child is just worried about freezing to death." ”

Li Si waved his hand and signaled not to worry: "This situation has not been a year or two, do you think the other three county guards will not know?" They can't help it, and even with their instructions behind them, it's not impossible to find an opportunity for their father to play His Majesty alone. can only suffer the people of the four counties first. ”

If Daming non-stick pan hears Li Si's words, he will specify to worship him, or you Lao Li understands me Zhao Zhenji!

Li Si was silent for a while, and then said: "Not only will my father not let you get this credit, but he will also take the opportunity to impeach the four county guards, including you!" Do you know why? ”

Li You frowned, Li Si categorically wouldn't harm him, and quickly figured out the joint: "What does my father mean...... Self-defilement? ”

Li Si nodded with satisfaction: "You have made some efforts, Your Majesty will probably not punish you, but will only admonish." ”

Then he seemed to fall into a memory: "Being a father really can't see through Your Majesty." Your Majesty has rarely been out of the palace since he was a child, how can he know about those incredible instruments, the Western Regions, the world, and the ...... that are enough to destroy the world, Zhang Liang, Zhang Han, Wu Jian, Your Majesty seems to have the ability to predict the future, and has long known the existence of these people, otherwise how can you pick a random person is a rare talent in the world? ”

Li You listened to Li Si's words quietly and did not interrupt him.

"Since that day I called my father to the Hundred Schools Palace, the sentence 'If you are not indifferent, you will not have a clear ambition, and if you are not quiet, you will not be far-reaching', it has made me a little frightened. Since that day, my father realized that Wang Jian and Li Xin are all smart people. ”

Li Youcai responded: "Father, the child understands. The right prime minister, the county guard, and the guard captain, which is not a hot official position, now that they are all in the Li family, my father is not confused, so it is time to be careful. Rest assured that the child listens to the father. ”

Li Si nodded with satisfaction and sighed lightly: "I miss the emperor very much for my father......"
