Soon Li Tai received the news that Li Zhi was in charge, why did Li Tai do this? Is it really to make Li Tai Liwei not successful?

Of course, the intention of this does exist, and there is another thing, which is Li Tai's real purpose. That is, to stop expanding their power.

If Li Tai personally sent troops, he would wipe out the Khitan and Xi states. Then the territories of these two countries will naturally be incorporated into Li Tai's Yan territory. And now that Li Tai's power is too big, if he continues to expand, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing.

Even if Li Shimin didn't doubt himself when he was in power, Li Zhi would definitely not be at ease with himself at that time. I'm afraid that at that time, Li Zhi will be instigated by others and have a separation from himself.

will even do everything possible to weaken his own strength. If Li Tai allows Li Zhi to weaken himself, then it will definitely have an impact on his plan.

If Li Tai resists, it will make some people even happier. At that time, there will definitely be people who will make a statement to Li Zhi, saying that Li Tai has the intention of rebelling.

Don't look at Li Zhi's admiration for Li Tai now, after he ascends the throne, I'm afraid he won't necessarily think like this. After all, Li Zhi is not the emperor yet.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to command 200,000 troops, the British Duke Xu Mao Gong is the military division of the army, and the Duke of Hubei Chi Gong is the forward officer of the front department. In the near future, troops will be sent to the Khitan and Xi countries. ”

"I wonder if you think we should get involved in this? Help the crown prince to achieve this victory smoothly. Li Tai opened his mouth and asked the civil and military forces in the Yin'an Palace.

"My lord, if you only rely on the 200,000 horses led by His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that you may not be able to take the Khitan and Xi countries in one battle. After all, the people of the two countries are brave and good at fighting. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of cavalry can be assembled at any time, if the lord does not help. I'm afraid that in the end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lose his troops. Xu Liang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.

"If the lord helps, I'm afraid it will have an impact on the purpose of the lord's trip. So please think twice. Liu Renliang opened his mouth to Li Tai's.

If from the perspective of loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, then Li Tai will inevitably send troops to help Li Zhi. But from the perspective of self-preservation, then Li Tai had better stay put.

Li Tai naturally knew this truth, so he said: "It is necessary to help to help, but the method of helping must be very exquisite." ”

"Actually, it's a simple matter, if there is civil strife between the two countries. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. Luo Song said.

"The marshal is right, now that the two countries have no leader, they are already unstable. If you add another instigation, it shouldn't be difficult for them to fight first. Xu Liang nodded and said.

"Then the matter is settled, as for how to make civil strife between their two countries. It's up to you. Li Tai nodded and said.

In fact, Li Tai still has one last thought in his heart. That is, as a last resort, he must not watch Li Zhi's army defeated, and he will inevitably personally lead the army to assist Li Zhi.

However, this will definitely be done at the last minute, even if Li Zhi has a slight chance of winning, Li Tai will definitely not participate in this matter.

Then Li Tai spoke: "This king wants to discuss with you on another occasion, and this king is going to implement a new currency in the territory of Yan Kingdom. I wonder what you think? ”

"My lord, I don't think it's necessary. Because it is easy to make the emperor unhappy by doing so. will even suspect that the lord has a heart of disobedience. The main thing is to do this, which does not do us much good. Liu Renliang said to Li Tai.

"Liu Xiangxian should not make a decision in a hurry, first listen to the currency that this king is going to implement, and what are the differences. It's not too late to decide whether to support the king. Li Tai said to Liu Renliang with a smile.

Li Tai naturally understood that what Liu Renliang said was reasonable, and if he issued new copper coins without authorization, it would indeed make Li Shimin unhappy.

However, the currency that Li Tai wants to promote is not to change the style of copper coins. Instead, they were preparing to use the banks of the Yan Kingdom to promote paper money.

And behind this banknote, it is also printed with the style of Kaiyuan Tongbao. The front is printed with the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty, as well as a portrait of Li Shimin.

And the text was changed to horns, and every ten corners was one yuan. One hundred yuan is equivalent to the usual money now, that is, it is equivalent to one tael of silver.

The coins of the angular units are one jiao, two jiao, and five jiao. The coins of the yuan units are one dollar, two yuan, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan.

It can be said that Li Tai has successfully plagiarized again, the successful experience of later generations. Since there is a successful experience in later generations, why should Li Tai go to great lengths to think about it.

Therefore, Li Tai did not hesitate to plagiarize this successful experience into his own hands. Even the size of the coins is very different from that of later generations. It's just that the grading unit has been abolished.

If Li Tai explained with his mouth alone, I am afraid that everyone present would not be able to fully understand. So Li Tai had already asked Mo Tiannan to make the printing plate himself. Several sets of coins were printed for each unit.

Now that there are physical objects in front of everyone, it makes everyone look much more intuitive. So there was no need for Li Tai's special explanation, so that everyone understood Li Tai's intentions.

But then the question arises, that is, what to do with the anti-counterfeiting work of this coin. So Liu Renliang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "Lord, although this kind of coin is very convenient to carry. But there are also its inevitable drawbacks. ”

"After all, it's just paper coins, and it's very susceptible to damage in the first place. The second is that it is difficult to ensure that there will be no imitation. Therefore, the lord still needs to think twice. ”

"Liu Xiang's worried king has long thought that the paper used to print coins in this article is not an ordinary paper ......" Then Li Tai explained Liu Renliang's worries in detail.

First of all, the paper on which coins are printed is made by cotton pulp, hemp pulp, and wood pulp. So on paper is not so easily damaged.

In the anti-counterfeiting part, first of all, Li Tai has done a lot of work on the pigments used to print coins. And the anti-counterfeiting marks such as steel seals have been added.

Li Tai explained, while asking Liu Renliang to take out the pattern and observe it carefully. Liu Renliang's observation found that it was indeed as Li Tai said.

So he nodded and said: "The lord is really talented, I'm afraid that in this world, besides the lord, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to be able to make such a coin." ”

"But the minister thinks that it is better to say hello to the emperor on this matter. So as not to be suspected of overstepping the authority of the lord when the time comes. ”

"It was inevitable to greet my father, and now the king is worried about the implementation of this banknote. I am afraid that the people may not be able to accept it in a short period of time. So that's the biggest obstacle to implementation. Li Tai nodded and said.

"Any new thing must be implemented for a certain period of time for the people to accept it. Just like hospitals, schools and banks, aren't people now slowly accepting it? ”

"As long as His Highness pursues a policy that is of real benefit to the people. The people will definitely see it. Luo Song opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
