Being able to put such a sharp question on the bright side, put it out and say it loudly, and what he said can make everyone unable to speak, I have to say that this is also a special skill of Zhang Nan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Qingquan, your proposal is really good." Li Er's eyes lit up and said, "The General Political Department, the General Staff, it's really good, it's really good." Li Er said with a smile.

"I don't know how Qingquan came up with such a wonderful method, it's amazing, it seems that Qingquan's ability to do this internal affairs is still above me." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, not stingy with his praise. Zhang Nan hadn't said anything yet, Cui Shao, who was eager to kick Zhang Nan to death just now, stood up and said.

"Lord Fang's praise is too much, how can this kid be so virtuous."

"Eh, Master Cui, I think Qingquan deserves this compliment, this method is really ingenious, the military reform proposed by Qingquan, the old man listens to Qingquan's description, and thinks it is still very feasible." Du Ruhui said with a smile.

"Well, this military reform can be put aside for now, and the General Staff and the General Political Department alone, the old man thinks it is worth trying." Xiao Yu finally agreed with Zhang Nan's idea.

"Since you Aiqing agree with these two parts so much, then I think it's better to establish it today, as for this detailed rule, Qingquan, you write an excerpt to me." After Li Er finished speaking, he didn't take into account at all that Zhang Nan was just a semi-literate person who couldn't read and write. When Zhang Nan heard Li Er say this, the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "The minister's decree." ”

"The things in the General Staff and the General Political Department, when Qingquan's fold is handed over, I will arrange it as appropriate." Li Er thought for a while and said.

"The minister continued to talk about this business, this is the minister's specialty." When Zhang Nan said, he didn't forget to praise himself.

After Li Er heard this, he didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

"This business, the emperor, the minister thinks that our current vision is still too limited, we are only focusing on the territory of our Tang Dynasty, we should take a longer view, look at the surrounding countries, and even the whole world."

"Lord Zhang's words are wrong, this trade is in exchange for what he needs, for example, the Turks, it is precisely because of the lack of food that they often invade my Tang border, if my Tang Dynasty court opens this trade case, so that the Turks can exchange for enough food, I am afraid that the Turks will come to plunder more than the people on my Tang border." The eldest grandson, Wuji, stood up and raised an objection.

"Eldest grandson's concern is understandable, but I have a way to solve this problem." Zhang Nan smiled.

"I want to hear about it."

"Dare to ask your lord, what is the most common thing in trade between countries?" Zhang Nan asked.

"The most versatile thing is naturally gold and silver, so why bother with Qingquan." Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and said.

"Then the kid asked Lord Changsun again, can I use my Tang Dynasty's copper coins to do business with the Turks on the grassland?" Zhang Nan continued to say with a smile.

"Naturally, no, the Turks only recognized gold, silver and grain, and when they got gold and silver, they eventually exchanged it for grain." The eldest grandson Wuji really didn't know what Zhang Nan meant by asking.

"In other words, in the steppe, is there a greater circulation of grain than gold and silver?" Zhang Nan continued to ask rhetorically.

"Qingquan, just say what you want to say, don't play dumb riddles anymore." Li Er frowned, as if he didn't like Zhang Nan's way of speaking.

What does the minister mean by asking, if we can replace gold and silver with something that is acceptable to all neighboring countries? And this thing itself is controllable, something that is controlled by our Datang? Zhang Nan said.

Li Er and the others all listened to an unknown reason, and Cui Shao's eyes became brighter and brighter the more they listened.

"What if we took out a thing, for example, a piece of paper, instead of gold and silver?" Zhang Nan said.

"Joke, a mere piece of paper can replace gold and silver? This Turk is not a fool, how can he exchange gold and silver for this thin piece of paper? The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"Why not? If the grassland people can exchange this piece of paper for one or two silver in any of my Datang bank, then the value of this piece of paper is one or two silver, Lord Eldest Sun, am I right. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it, and it seemed that it was really like that, so he nodded.

"Therefore, the value of this item is given by man, and if I say that this gold and silver have no value, or, like the Turks, gold and silver are not as fast as grain circulation in them."

"If we build Datang into a transit point for goods from several countries, and force the merchants of these countries to do business in Datang only with our Datang specific currency, over time, will the neighboring countries also recognize our currency?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"So what's the benefit of doing that?" The eldest grandson Wuji still couldn't grasp the point in Zhang Nan's words.

"The benefits? The good thing is that if the neighboring countries all recognize this currency, that is, the neighboring countries use our currency for transactions and daily life, and this currency is controlled by us, what do you say they are most afraid of? Zhang Nan asked rhetorically.

"The most fearful thing must be that this thing in their hands will not even be able to exchange gold and silver one day." Cui Shao thought for a while and said.

"That's right, that's it, if we can firmly control this economic power in the hands of our Datang, then the capital allocation of the surrounding countries is not all up to our Datang, today I said that this piece of paper is worth a tael of silver, and tomorrow I say that this piece of paper is only worth half a tael, do you think the people of these countries will be afraid?" Zhang Nan smiled. Xin said: "There are still some benefits to going to college. ”

"How can this little piece of paper have such a great power?" Li Er asked incredulously.

"Yes, that's right, it's just that there is so much power. However, the basis of all this is still based on the fact that Datang has become a cargo transit center for several surrounding countries. Without this, then everything is empty talk. Zhang Nan thought for a while and said.

"Well, yes, it's the first time I've heard that this money can have such a big effect, and it can have such a big impact on a country, I underestimated this business before." Li Er wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he handed over this business to Zhang Nan in advance, otherwise, if other people knew such a method, they wouldn't have to make any trouble.

"This, Qingquan, I look at you, it's better to enter the court as an official as soon as possible." Li Er suddenly said such a sentence without a head.
