"My lord, Wang Bo, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, asks to see you.? Follow? Dream?. "Li Tianming came to Li Tai and said.

Li Tai didn't expect Wang Bo to come to Youzhou at this time, so he said to Li Tianming: "Then let him in." ”

After Li Tianming sighed, he withdrew from Li Tai's study. Not long after, Wang Bo, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family, came to Li Tai's study.

After Wang Bo saw Li Tai, he first knelt on the ground and bowed to the master and servant, and then said to Li Tai: "My lord, my subordinates have come to meet my lord this time, and I have a big deal to tell my lord. ”

Seeing Wang Bo's worried expression, Li Tai opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what kind of big thing it is that makes you so panicked?" ”

"My lord, the Qinghe Cui family, the head of the world's family, is probably already involved in this run conspiracy. If the Qinghe Cui family goes all out, the subordinates are worried that the lord will not be able to deal with it. ”

So after the subordinates received the news, they rushed to Youzhou non-stop to meet the lord. And he has mobilized all the forces of the royal family to raise gold for the lord. ”

"When he came to Youzhou, he had already raised 300,000 taels, and it was initially estimated that he could raise at least 500,000 taels of gold for the lord. I hope I can help my lord deal with this difficulty. Wang Bo opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

At this time, the life and death talisman on Wang Bo's body had been lifted by Li Tai. Therefore, the current Wang Bo is not threatened, but loyal to Li Tai. In other words, Wang Bo at this time is sincerely thinking about Li Tai.

"500,000 taels of gold is not a small number, plus the previous 200,000 taels of gold. Your Taiyuan royal family has already taken out 700,000 taels of gold for this king at this time. If this king didn't guess wrong, I'm afraid that the Taiyuan royal family would have already given everything he had. Li Tai asked.

"My lord, this is not the opinion of a subordinate person, even if a subordinate person has this idea to be loyal to the lord. But there is absolutely no such power, and the entire power of the Taiyuan royal family is used. ”

"So this time, it is not a person who is loyal to the lord, but the entire Taiyuan royal family." Wang Bo said to Li Tai.

He immediately sent a letter back and told them to leave the gold at the Taiyuan Wang's house first. The king doesn't need them yet, but the king of Japan may need them someday. When the time comes, it's not too late to ask your Taiyuan royal family for it. Li Tai said to Wang Bo with a smile.

"Lord, you may not know much about the Qinghe Cui family, but it is definitely the head of the family. Even the rich rival country can't describe the Qinghe Cui family. If they go all out, even if the lord has a million taels of gold in his hand, it will be useless. Wang Bo said worriedly.

"The strength of the Qinghe Cui family naturally knows that the king can send one million taels of gold to the king at one time. How can an ordinary family do it? Li Tai said to Wang Bo with a smile.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Bo couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect Li Tai to say this. So he couldn't believe it and asked Li Tai: "Lord, did your subordinates hear it wrong just now?" You said that the Qinghe Cui family sent a million taels of gold to the lord? ”

"You heard it right, the Qinghe Cui family did provide this king with one million taels of gold. Now participating in this run conspiracy will definitely not cause any harm to this king. Li Tai said.

"No wonder the Lord Guild is so fearless, it turns out that the Lord has already known all this. It seems that the subordinates are overly worried. Wang Bo let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Tai.

"What you have done today is a great joy to the king's heart. If you do this when you have the life and death talisman control on your body, this king may not be too excited. But now that the life and death talisman has been solved, you can still think of this king like this. This also shows the king your faithfulness. Li Tai nodded and said to Wang Bo.

"My lord, my subordinates have always had an idea, that is, if we stay in Bingzhou, I'm afraid we won't be able to help my lord. Therefore, his subordinates prepared to move the Taiyuan royal family into the territory of Yanguo. It's also more convenient to work for the lord. Wang Bo opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"That's what you're thinking about, and it's even more powerful for this king to stay in Bingzhou. Taiyuan is the place where my Li family is prosperous, and with you stationed there, this king and this king will rest assured. ”

"But you must remember that you must run the whole state like an iron cylinder. This king does not want to see any forces that are not from the Taiyuan royal family in the territory of Bingzhou. Li Tai waved his hand and said to Wang Bo.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Bo couldn't help but perk up, and said to Li Tai excitedly: "The subordinates understand the meaning of the lord's words, and the subordinates will definitely guard the state for the lord." One day, the subordinates will definitely hand over a complete annexation to the lord. ”

Li Tai knew that Wang Bo had misunderstood the meaning of his words, but Li Tai was not ready to explain to Wang Bo. Because that's not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.

……

After sending Wang Bo away, Tang Yuan's run also reached the last moment. Today, the amount of Tang Yuan printed by Li Tai has reached the value of 2.4 million taels of gold.

Of course, the amount of gold in Li Tai's hands now has reached more than 2.6 million taels. Therefore, the issuance of 2.4 million taels of gold is not a problem at all for Li Tai.

However, those ill-intentioned nobles of the family did not know that they felt that Li Tai's hands were only 1.5 million taels of gold at most. Therefore, the issuance of so many Tang Yuan has far exceeded the amount of gold reserves in Li Tai's hands.

Coupled with their deliberate hoarding of Tang Yuan, the amount of Tang Yuan in their hands now has far exceeded 1.5 million taels. So they were ready to make a move on Li Tai.

In the days that followed, a rumor spread through the streets. It is said that Li Tai's vault was stolen by thieves, and now most of the gold in the vault has been stolen.

The Tang Yuan in the hands of the people will soon become a piece of waste paper, so the Tang Yuan in the hands must be sold as soon as possible. lest you end up ruining your family.

As a result, the people instantly fell into panic, although they did not know whether the rumor was true or not. But they didn't dare to take this risk and continued to keep Tang Yuan in their own hands.

However, they didn't dare to exchange gold with Li Tai, after all, the amount of Tang Yuan in their hands was not very large. So I was worried that I would anger Li Tai because of this, and I would eventually be retaliated against by Li Tai.

So what they chose was to consume the Tang Yuan in their hands as soon as possible. As long as the Tang Yuan in his hand becomes an item and exists in his hand. Then you don't have to worry about it, you will go bankrupt because Tang Yuan has become a piece of waste paper.

At this time, most merchants began to refuse to accept Tang Yuan, because they were also worried that this rumor would become true. In this way, it has increased the panic in the hearts of the people even more.

And those dignitaries of the family stood up at this time. Claim that those folk rumors are just rumors. His Royal Highness King Yan's treasury has not suffered any losses, so the people don't have to worry about it. And also continued to use Tang Yuan as the trading currency.

In this way, a large number of Tang Yuan fell into the hands of these nobles. Let the Tang Yuan in their hands become more sufficient. Therefore, at this time, the nobles of the family were already full of confidence, and felt that as long as they made a move, Li Tai's plan to implement Tang Yuan would be shattered in an instant.

……

"My lord, this is a critical juncture. I'm afraid it won't be long before those dignitaries of the family will make a move. It seems that it is time to catch them all. Liu Renliang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"As soon as they start a run, they will order the banks in the state capitals to announce that if they want to exchange for gold, they must go to the Youzhou branch. Banks in other state capitals do not undertake this business. ”

"And ordered the Youzhou army to surround the entire Youzhou City for me. Once the run starts, Youzhou City is only allowed to enter but not leave. Li Tai said.

"Why is the lord so troublesome, from my Cheng Tieniu's point of view, the lord only needs to come to death and not admit it. So that they can't exchange it for gold in the hands of the lord, and they don't obediently trade it with Tang Yuan? Cheng Tieniu opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

In fact, Cheng Tieniu is right, as long as Li Tai refuses to exchange gold for Tang Yuan. Then the Tang Yuan in the hands of these nobles will not be able to be exchanged for gold. In the end, we can only accept the reality of using Tang Yuan as currency.

But things are not so simple, if Li Tai really did that. I am afraid that it will not be long before Li Shimin will receive the impeachment of Li Tai. At that time, Li Shimin was under pressure and had to give a perfect explanation to these nobles.

That's why they dare to take such a risk. Because they knew in their hearts that even if Li Tai finally cheated and didn't admit it, they would definitely have a way to get back everything that belonged to them.

And at that time, Li Tai's plan to implement Tang Yuan will be completely aborted. Even Li Tai couldn't stay in this Yan country. It can be said that Li Tai can only return to Chang'an City in disgrace.

And at that time, these nobles will return to their previous lives again. This is also the ultimate goal they have always aimed at Li Tai.

No, Tie Niu didn't think so much, his thoughts were who had hard fists, and whoever spoke was reasonable. So he thinks that Li Tai doesn't admit it, and those nobles can't afford to turn the sky.

"You kid just don't have a brain, if you can really do that. Why did the emperor secretly send 400,000 taels of gold to the lord. Wouldn't that be an extra move? Qin Huaiyu glared at Cheng Tieniu and said.

"It's no wonder that General Cheng thinks so, I'm afraid there are many people who think so. At least those families who are not involved in this matter are a little worried that this will happen. Liu Rengui said to Qin Huaiyu with a smile.

"This king will never do anything that is untrustworthy to the people. Therefore, as long as they take out the Tang Yuan in their hands, the king will exchange the gold for them in full. Only when the king is honest with the people can the people believe in the king. Li Tai said.

"The lord is wise, if the lord really chooses not to exchange gold, I am afraid that the fate of the lord in the end will be unimaginable." Liu Renliang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"My father once taught us brothers, I remember that my father said at that time, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also capsize the boat. Therefore, if you are unpopular with the people, even if you have thousands of troops in your hands, you will eventually fall apart. Li Tai said.
