The emperor glanced at Han Yue, and said with a sad face: "There is a lack of copper mines in the Central Plains, even if there are mines, they have been hollowed out by the previous dynasties, and the court has also minted new money in recent years, but it can only mint tens of thousands of coins at most every year, Yue'er, it is a good thing that you want to issue currency, but our Datang is short of copper......"

Han Yue smiled and said with a leisurely expression: "Who said that we are going to issue copper coins?" Is there no other way but copper coins? ”

He glanced at Li Shimin with confidence, smiled and continued: "The Datang Royal Bank has been established a long time ago, but in the past five years, it has only been used for deposits and loans, and it has not played the role of a bank at all. ”

"What should a bank do?"

"Yes!"

Han Yue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Banks have three major functions, one is to absorb deposits, and the other is to issue loans. Deposits have to pay interest to people, and loans can only earn profits, but in recent years, I have not been in Chang'an, which has caused the Royal Bank to go a fork in the road, only absorbing deposits and lacking loans, so the bank has lost money. ”

As he spoke, he coughed lightly, and said with burning eyes: "In fact, deposits and loans are only business functions, and the main purpose of Erchen's establishment of the Royal Bank is the third one. ”

Li Shimin is known as the Emperor of the Ages, naturally he is not an ordinary mortal, the emperor has already realized this when he heard this, and said softly with a deep face: "What Yue'er said is the issuance of currency?" ”

"Haha, what my father said is right, it is the issuance of currency!"

Han Yue smiled at the sky and explained loudly: "The Datang Royal Bank should have the right to issue an authoritative currency, which is backed by a state entity, and then supported by gold and silver, so even if it is a piece of paper or a stone, as long as we recognize that it is valuable, then it is legal tender." ”

"A piece of paper, a stone?" Li Shimin smashed his mouth, and his eyes became bright almost instantly.

The emperor's eyes were blazing, and he only felt that his blood was gushing.

"If a piece of paper could be used as money, wouldn't I be the richest king of all time?"

Li Shimin subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, his face was full of longing, and then he said: "There will be no shortage of money in the future, and if you are short of money, you will use paper to print." Aha, military expenses, it doesn't matter, disaster relief, it doesn't matter, the minister's salary, it doesn't matter, the soldiers' salaries, it doesn't matter......"

The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and said loudly: "I want to print tens of billions of dollars, and there will be no shortage of money from now on." ”

Han Yue was startled, and hurriedly blocked Li Shimin's thought, and said hurriedly: "Father, this money is not printed casually. If a large amount of money is printed recklessly, the first thing to usher in is inflation, and then there is the Great Depression, and there is only one final outcome, the collapse of the national economic system, and the anger of the people rises! ”

Saying that, he glanced at the emperor stupidly, and sighed: "When the time comes, don't think about getting rich, let's be hacked to death by the people as tyrants." ”

"Who dare!"

Li Shimin roared, obviously not afraid.

The emperor now only has money in his eyes, and he roars and fantasizes about issuing money.

Han Yue smiled bitterly helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Father, the water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, this is what you said at the beginning, have you forgotten it so quickly?" Don't look down on the people, the most powerful people in the world are the people, if there is really an economic collapse, the angry people can definitely tear our grandfather apart. ”

Li Shimin felt that he was paying attention to it, and his two sword eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, the emperor glanced at Han Yue, and asked in a deep voice: "You tell me the truth, can't this money really be printed indiscriminately?" ”

"Can't!"

Han Yue's face was solemn, and he also replied in a deep voice: "If you want to print paper money, you must use gold as the standard, and it is not enough to have a gold standard, you must revitalize the domestic economy." ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and pondered for a long time, and slowly organized his words: "The reason why Erchen sacrificed 800,000 taels of gold is to repay the debts of the people first, and only when the people have money in their hands can they exchange it with paper money. Then we have to reserve new gold and issue the same amount of currency with the value of gold, to put it bluntly, using gold as collateral, so that the people can trust the paper money......"

Li Shimin frowned again and said, "Gold is a thing that suppresses the state treasury, how can it be taken out casually and mortgaged?" There are only one million taels in my treasury, and this gold is to be left to my children and grandchildren to protect the country. ”

Han Yue smiled and lowered his voice: "Father, the treasure of Buddhism." ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

Han Yue smiled again, lowered his voice and continued: "Father, the Northeast Jiapigou Gold Mine"

Li Shimin's eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but glance at Han Yue.

Han Yue smiled at the end, and hinted in a very low voice: "Father, although the gold is used as a mortgage, it is actually still placed in our treasury, the so-called mortgage is just a way of saying, is it possible that if someone else changes a banknote, we will immediately give him gold of the same value?" Gold standard, gold standard, gold is just the standard, the state is responsible for storing ......"

"Wonderful!"

Li Shimin snorted secretly, and his eyebrows fluttered: "This country is responsible for storage, and it has won my heart. Stinky boy, you're getting worse. ”

The emperor suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "By the way, treasure, the treasure of Buddhism, your queen mother will not let me interfere in this matter, I don't know how the treasure is unearthed now?" ”

Han Yue snorted, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the two Hundred Cavalry Warriors, and said meaningfully: "If the Erchen estimate is good, the second thing they want to report is the treasure." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, suddenly turned his head to look at the soldier, and shouted softly: "Say! ”

The two warriors subconsciously swallowed their saliva, looked at the emperor cautiously, and whispered: "King Zhao guessed right, we are just going to report the treasure." A few days ago, His Royal Highness ordered the Hundred Horsemen Division to prepare an excavation team, and then escorted the host of the Big Buddha Temple to excavate the great treasure house of Buddhism. ”

"Big problem? What's the big problem? ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, his voice was vaguely angry, and he said angrily: "On my territory, could it be that there are still people blocking me? ”

The two warriors bowed their heads bitterly and stammered, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty guessed right, indeed... Someone did stop it..."

"Huh?" The emperor was directly stunned.

What he just said that someone was blocking was just a kind of confident irony, but he didn't know that things were really like this, Li Shimin only felt that he was slapped in the face in an instant.

Han Yue didn't wait for the emperor to deliver the goods, and hurriedly turned to the end of the conversation, and asked, "Who is blocking and making the Hundred Horsemen tricky?" The reason why this king ordered you to dig up the treasure is that he took a fancy to the secret and thoughtfulness of the Hundred Horsemen, and how did he attract the attention of others, and he didn't give me a quick way. ”

The two warriors glanced at each other and said stubbornly: "The people who block the excavation are all people who believe in Buddhism." We don't know how they knew that tens of thousands of people had gathered before they had even started digging, and they were so excited that they didn't dare to kill them......"

Han Yue's eyes flashed, and his heart secretly moved.

He frowned and muttered for a long time, and said with deep meaning: "In this way, there are still some people with hearts hidden in Chang'an City. They interfered in the imperial examinations of scholars, and they also interfered in the excavation of treasures. This force is well informed, and there must be wise men in charge. ”

Saying that, he frowned a few more times, and then said in a deep voice: "This person should know the temperament of this king, so he can deduce that I will send a hundred horsemen to dig secretly, and then always pay attention to the movements of you and others, and provoke the people to stop them in advance." It's good, it's really good, this king hasn't met an opponent for many years, and this opponent hidden in the dark is very good. ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said in a low voice: "Yue'er, but the royal family did it?" There was a hint of worry in the Emperor's tone, obviously afraid that it would be another good thing that one of his sons had done.

Han Yue glanced at the emperor, then shook his head slightly, he frowned and looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself: "Erchen's enemies are outside, and the brothers of the imperial family are not." I look back on what I have done in the past few years, and I find that there are several places where the enemy has not cut off their roots......"

Li Shimin is also a man of great talent, and he instantly grasped what Han Yue said, the emperor's eyes flashed, and he said: "Alien? ”

"Yes, Alien!" Han Yue nodded slowly, and slowly exhaled a light breath towards the sky.

He said in a deep voice: "Zhenguan for three years, destroy the eastern grassland, and the next year, open up Shenyang in the northeast." In the sixth year of Zhenguan, he swept away Goguryeo, and in the seventh year of Zhenguan, he conquered the western grasslands, swept the Western Regions, and then went to the decisive battle of Jiannan Road, and separated life and death from Tubo, and the three major battlefields exterminated millions, but they did not break the roots. ”

Speaking of this, he slowly stopped, and said with burning eyes: "Erchen guesses that this secret enemy can't escape from these forces, although some have already lost the country, but the people who have returned to the country are the most crazy......"

Li Shimin clenched his fists, and suddenly looked at the Empress Changsun, who had been silent next to him, the emperor and his wife seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and suddenly they each tore off half a jade pendant from their waists.

The emperor put the two jade pendants together with each other, and then solemnly stuffed them into Han Yue's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This pendant, I and your mother are half of one person, and together they can call all the royal hundred knights, and they can order the Dark Moon Dragon to die, and they can also drive the masters of the Great Inner to recruit all the imperial armies." ”

Han Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Erchen understands, this is the real Tang Dynasty Talisman, which can not only call the whole army, but also control the Hundred Cavalry Division and the Dark Moon Dragon Guard. ”

"It's yours!" Li Shimin said solemnly, and said with a solemn face: "Find out the enemies in the shadows and cut off the roots for them at one time." ”

Speaking of this, his eyes were clear, and he said viciously: "Excavating treasures, currency issuance can be guaranteed, new imperial examinations, materials can be guaranteed for the country, and the imperial examinations and treasures are united, and they can ensure that Yue'er develops Lingnan and conquers overseas ......."

The emperor paused when he said this, and said with a solemn gaze: "This is the foundation of my Li royal family for all eternity, and it is also the journey of the Tang Dynasty to be proud of the nations. ”

Suddenly, he slapped Han Yue with his palm and said loudly: "Son, go kill it!" Pick up your butcher's knife and let those people see King Zhao's brutality again! ”

The so-called cruelty is aimed at a different race, not my race, and its heart will be different.
