Li Shimin doubted that he had heard it wrong.

You must know that 50 billion yuan is 50 million yuan, this number is too terrifying.

After the New Year, Datang fought two fierce battles in a row, it can be said that the treasury has bottomed out, and only 10 million guan has been spent, and Liu Mu's opening is 50 million guan, which makes Li Shimin not shocked.

Could it be that the people of Datang can still squeeze out another 50 million yuan, which is impossible.

The family doesn't have much money left.

"Are you sure it's 50 billion?" Li Shimin asked again.

Yanagi didn't answer, but took out an envelope from his bosom, and then took out one from the envelope...... Folding money.

Folding money?

Not many people in the printing house know what it is.

"Second brother, this is the real reason why Zhang Gongjin is placed in the country of a thousand islands, the printing workshop has been constantly researching since six years ago, continuous trial production, and the materials of the template are constantly updated, and the ink is constantly trial-produced, which is already perfect. But the quality of the paper did not pass until Luzon was taken. ”

"Luzon? Kindness. ”

The place name of Luzon is also known only to Liu Mu and Li Shimin, and at the moment the Tang Rite Department of the island is discussing the official names of the islands of the Thousand Islands, but it will definitely not be called Luzon.

"Second brother, this kind of paper is made of 67 percent wood pulp, 11 percent bagasse paddles, 7 percent abaca paddles, and ...... percent" Liu Mu said the approximate data, and the detailed content is protected by top secret, which means that this kind of paper cannot be imitated.

Datang's paper, the real high-end paper, is a top-secret protection process.

Yanagi's stock was the first attempt at paper bills, and the craft was not yet mature at that time, at least not up to Yanagiki's view of banknotes.

At this time, Datang's coinage technology was at least 1,300 years ahead of the world, equivalent to the level of the mid-twentieth century and before World War II.

Li Shimin hesitated, took the banknote in his hand and looked at it for a long time before speaking: "Second brother remembers, once you said that printing banknotes indiscriminately caused the collapse of the country. ”

"Yes. Whether banknotes are a double-edged sword, whether to issue or not depends on the meaning of the second brother. However, this time, I did not plan to circulate in large quantities in Datang. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes had a hint of brilliance, and he immediately said: "The second brother agreed, the second brother understood, this kind of paper money can be circulated in the Tang Dynasty, and now we should plan how long it will take for the peninsula, the Western Regions, and the grassland without currency to make this kind of paper become a circulating currency." ”

"The second brother is wise. It's actually easy to do. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The plan is divided into five steps......"

Liu Mu's banknotes moved Li Shimin, and Li Shimin was still ready to turn this small piece of paper into a circulating currency recognized by everyone in the world, in other words, this piece of paper is the credit standard currency of Datang.

Before the issuance, the ancestral system must be determined first, so as to prevent future generations of emperors from having mixed ups.

Therefore, the rules should be strict, and the number of prints per year must be reviewed by the cabinet many times.

In the evening, Liu Mu excused himself for not returning to Chang'an for a long time, and held a banquet at home to celebrate his hard work in Fusang.

Liu Mu's banquet list included almost all the officials above the fourth rank of the Tang Dynasty.

The banquet was very short, only one hour, and then some people stayed to attend Liu Mu's tea party, because Liu Mu came from Hangzhou to bring some good tea.

The candidates for the tea party happened to be all the cabinet members, as well as the main members of the Datang Security Division, who are still known as Wenyue Pavilion.

In a quarter of an hour, after Liu Mu told the situation of the banknotes, Cui Junsu, the head of the household, stood up.

"Saints, dear ministers. Let me say a few words first, as far as Goguryeo is concerned, Liu Juma has made three consecutive moves, the first is to sell, followed by heavy suppression, and finally this move is too cruel for a Confucian student who believes in Buddhism, this is already robbing in the Ming Dynasty, how many pieces of steel is this small piece of paper worth? ”

Cui Junsu picked up the banknote, no matter how high the cost of this piece of paper was in his eyes, it could not exceed the value of a penny.

And this banknote has a hundred words written on it.

"Copper coins rely on the value of copper itself, and the same goes for silver coins. What is this piece of paper, does it rely on Datang's credit as its value? Goguryeo was stupid enough to let this piece of paper become gold and silver and rob them of countless supplies. Therefore, the minister thinks that ......"

Cui Junsu glanced at all the ministers, and after seeing that everyone nodded, Cui Junsu turned to Li Shimin and saluted: "The minister thinks that if the Changping Money Village is owned by the household department, the minister will pile up a silver mountain and a gold mountain to protect the value of this small piece of paper, and then win the trust of the world, and then let this paper money infiltrate the peninsula." ”

Liu Mu listened very carefully, and always thought that Cui Junsu was going to oppose it.

Who would have thought that Cui Junsu would see through the truth of paper money without a teacher, and put forward a practice that was ahead of the times, that is, the gold standard.

Secured by precious metals such as gold and silver, this is not a silver standard economy, this is a gold standard.

And there really is nothing wrong with taking the money bank into the state, because no individual is qualified to issue money.

"No way!" Yanagi stepped forward and spoke against it.

Closing the Changping Money Village as state-owned, this is an issue that the cabinet has discussed privately, the power of this money bank is already huge, and it will affect the court of the Tang Dynasty if it continues to grow.

Take back, that's right.

At that moment, several people stood up, ready to argue with Liu Mu with Cui Junsu.

Liu Mu said at this time: "Changping Qianzhuang does not pay, because its business should be released. I think the establishment of the Datang National Bank will allow the establishment of three new banks for the coordination of coins in different industries and under different circumstances. ”

"The other three?"

"Yes, all the money banks are under the control of the Datang National Bank, and only the Datang National Bank has the right to mint money. Then three new banks were established, and the names were discussed. The first is the general bank, the second is the construction bank, and the third is the workers' and peasants' bank. ”

"Please continue, or you already have something written."

"There is, but it is incomplete, only the draft. I don't have enough knowledge, only ideas, and I originally planned to organize people to perfect it, but I don't have enough people under me. There are already dozens of sick people on the Wajima side, and I don't have enough manpower to use them. ”

Yanagi thinks that banks are useful, so he finds an example: "This money bank is really useful, for example, if a farmer wants to build a greenhouse and he has no money, then the bank lends him money and then collects interest." This is beneficial to the money village, and the farmer built a greenhouse, and the following year he earned a lot of money, and after repaying the money of the bank, he also had a profit, and he also left the greenhouse. Win-win. ”

Cui Junsu asked: "Then those craftsmen in Chang'an City buy houses and borrow money, and this loan is ten or twenty years, and the money is beneficial?" ”
