"Brother Yi, this money is good." At dinner in the evening, Li Longji looked at a large number of exchange coupons and said.

"It's not money, it's vouchers that kids can hold for snacks and the chance to play."

Li Yi didn't admit that he was printing money, was the money made casually?

Money can be planted at will, planting mulberry trees, raising silkworms, weaving, and using it as money.

"Yes, it's a voucher." The king and queen supported.

Li Chengqi poured wine for Li Yi: "You print it first, see if it's easy to use." When it is ready to use, talk to Your Majesty.

At that time, Datang directly printed money, and it was also called Kaiyuan Tongbao.

You don't have to carry a lot of heavy stuff when you spend money, and it is most convenient for people who have traveled long distances. ”

"The benefits go beyond lightness." Li Longji also said: "Nowadays, there are too many silk silks, and the rich families are piled up in the warehouse, and the people must also grow mulberry hemp and raise silkworms. ”

Li Longji thought of taking away a large amount of mulberry hemp and using it for the people to grow grain.

In fact, less than 100 acres of land were actually granted to the people, and it was delayed to plant trees and raise silkworms in their homes.

It is better to plant millet, even if the land is not good enough, plant beans to nourish the land, and if there are few beans, you can also squeeze oil and make tofu to eat.

At that time, copper was used to make tools, and the people used paper money.

"There is also a need to improve the papermaking process to make banknotes more difficult to imitate. It also involves the number of issuances. Li Yi is not so optimistic.

Li Longji and Li Chengqi thought deeply and ate and drank slowly.

They knew that they couldn't print money to buy things, and how much to print was a problem.

After a quarter of an hour, Li Longji asked Li Yi.

"Brother Yi, do you think it's feasible to send out money according to the rent collected last year?"

"When it is sent out, the people have money in their hands, will they pay the money for rent or the grain in the future?" Li Yi didn't answer, but asked a question.

"Of course, it's to deliver food." Li Longji said immediately.

"The money sealed by the imperial court cannot be used to pay rent, and the people are still willing to use the money of the imperial court?" Li Yi asked again.

"Then you're allowed to pay the money." Li Longji said in passing.

"Grain prices change, different places, harvest grain cheap, how much to pay?

Originally, he was supposed to pay a stone of rent, but the grain was collected cheaply, and the money was less.

The court took that money and bought grain from other places, but it couldn't buy the grain that was rented, and the court's income decreased. ”

Li Yi gave another troublesome question.

Li Chengqi interjected: "Choose an average price, the price of grain is different every year, calculate the average, and let the people pay." ”

"When the people harvested grain, the price of grain was low, and on average, they had to sell more grain.

Originally, one stone of grain was enough, but when it was exchanged for money, what was actually sold was one and a half stones, and the people suffered a loss. ”

Li Yi still has a saying, look, no.

The two Li Longji brothers were worried, this is not good, that is not, what is the use of printing money?

"If you are willing to pay, you will pay money, and if you are willing to pay food, you will pay food." The queen is the smartest, and she solves it in one sentence.

"What about the price? If the price is high, the people will not use the money, the liquidity of the money is poor, and the people do not want it.

Food prices are unstable, and other commodities are bought with paper money, and merchants will raise prices.

As long as there is a link that is high, all the goods will start to increase in price for paper money.

Paper money will be scrapped by that time, and the more it is printed, the more it will depreciate. ”

Li Yi again raised the question of the degree of currency acceptance.

"Brother Yi, you say, we don't want to." Li Chengqi simply threw his distress back.

"Nope." Li Longji shook his head: "Now there are copper coins, and I didn't say that the people should use copper coins to pay rent, they can use copper coins to buy grain and pay."

When paper money is issued, it is enough to follow the copper coins, and the big deal is that they are allowed to exchange paper money for copper coins. ”

Li Longji thought of a way, yes, that's it.

At the same time, he also knew how much money was printed, and how much copper money and silk silk was printed in the imperial court.

When the time comes, the people are allowed to redeem, and how to redeem it are those.

Paper money instead of copper money is for convenience, not to get money from the hands of the people all at once.

He said his thoughts, and Li Yi smiled.

"That's right, that's the number of prints. Wait for everyone to get used to it and print a little more, and they won't think about exchanging copper coins.

It will take a few years before I try to issue exchange coupons on Zhuangzi, and Zhuangzi has enough goods to sell.

The people were familiar with Zhuangzi's exchange vouchers, and the imperial court issued paper money in the future, which was a matter of course. ”

Li Yi was afraid that the court would be in a hurry, and he would send out a lot of money at once, and the court was short of money.

The next morning, the dealer brought the goods to the Baqiao to trade with people.

When you need to buy something from someone else, ask them if they would like to receive a voucher.

And explain that this month with the voucher to buy things on the Zhuangzi, enjoy the discount, only this month.

As soon as I heard about the discount, the other party immediately agreed.

Even if they don't buy the goods from the Zhuangzi, they can go to other people's places to buy things.

When you buy it, you can negotiate the price, and according to the preferential ratio of Zhuangzi, you will make a step for each one, and it will be cheaper.

It is Zhuangzi who suffers, and Zhuangzi has money, and there is a nineteen-day preferential period.

Zhuangzi has not made a version of the exchange coupon of more than ten yuan, and it can only be ten yuan at most.

One to a bundle, the other party counted the money, the number was right, and quickly left with it in his pocket to buy something.

"It's easy to use, I knew I wouldn't rush over to pull the money, just take it, and it's over." A man who gets money after selling something is happy.

"You have to carry it well, it's easy to lose, and the silk silk is big, so it's not easy to lose."

The man who came to sell the bran next to him carefully put his hand on the place where he was carrying the money.

The person who came to sell the flowers said: "The denomination is too small, and if it is bigger, others are willing to accept it, and it will be more convenient to come and go." ”

"Thy flowers are brought up from every place, and what wilt thou do in large sums?" The bran seller said with a smile.

"I plan to continue to subcontract, the price of flowers is higher than that of dried flowers, I go to collect flowers everywhere, save them, and many flowers will be dried."

The flower seller expressed his distress, and he wanted people to collect it in various places and settle it all at once.

When he turned his head, he sold it to Zhuangzi again, and he could make more money.

Zhuangzi uses flowers to extract essential oils, and the flowers are extracted more, and the dried flowers are less, so the money naturally given is high and low.

In addition to merchants, people who come to deliver artemisia seeds and tea are more willing to choose exchange coupons.

They don't think that the exchange coupons can't be spent, and the Li family Zhuangzi's row is there.

Just take out something is worth a lot of money, and Zhuangzi prints as many exchange coupons as you can sell.

So there was no need for evening, at noon, the east and west cities of Chang'an City became popular exchange coupons.

Everyone looks interesting, just take a look, how easy it is.

Merchants who have business dealings with Li Zhuangzi can give a little more if they propose to spend.

"Your Majesty, printing money should be held in the hands of the imperial court, and should not be used for private purposes."

Yao Chong didn't eat a few bites of food at noon, and when Li Longji finished eating, he immediately rushed over.

The other two prime ministers nodded their heads, this matter can no longer be biased in favor of Li Yi, it is too important.

"Does Yao Qing know how much money should be printed in a year?" Li Longji was not in a hurry, and asked slowly.

"How much? This one...... That ...... "Yao Chong is confused, yes, how much is it appropriate to print?"

"Your Majesty knows?" Lu Huaishen's eyes showed expectation.

"Simple, how much to print depends on the income geometry, from ......"

Li Longji said that the strategy of issuing money to the minister should not only be sent out, but also the price should be stabilized.

When he finished speaking, the three of them came to their senses, and they felt that they had thoroughly learned the knowledge of money.
