Chapter 1343 - Trouble Caused by Too Much Money

The Datang LV women's brand began to sell well throughout Rome, triggering a huge sales frenzy, and Roman women had one or even one set. Hundreds of thousands of people bought it, with a minimum of ten gold coins per piece, and the overall sales were completely beyond Li Yi's initial imagination.

As a result, Roman women all wore Datang stockings, wore Datang fierce covers, wore Datang high heels, and carried Datang LV bags. Of course, the real gold and platinum are all given to Datang.

Roman tailors saw a business opportunity, and although they could not make silk stockings, they could make high heels, fierce covers.

However, the Datang LV brand is constantly updated, withdrawing from all kinds of suspender silk, mesh stockings, meat silk, white silk, etc., fish mouth high heels, xx high heels, etc. Crocodile skin bags, rhinoceros skins, python skins, the more upcycled, the more expensive they are sold, but the more people buy them.

The constant renewal made it impossible for Roman tailors to keep up with the pace, and they could only survive in the cracks and earn a little money from the poor.

For a time, the rolling wealth flowed into Datang.

Emperor Wude was not short of money, and when he had more money, he invested it in public welfare, and if he didn't have enough materials, he bought it from Rome, so that he could also drain Rome's resources.

The people of the Tang Dynasty enjoy the welfare, and they have sung praises of virtue, and there are two immortal tablets at home, one is placed by the male host, and the other is placed by the hostess.

………………

After several years of continuous war, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has expanded too much, and it takes a lot of time to digest these territories and populations. Therefore, in the next few years, Datang entered a period of stable development for a long time.

Without the war, Emperor Wude was finally able to care for his family after years of traveling.

Li Yi divided his adult sons Li Ying (from Mrs. Li), Li Mu (from Mu Guiying), Li Zhuo (from Liu Jing), and Li Zhen (from Zhen Jiang) into princes and kings, and guarded Guishan, Anxi, the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions (Dawan, Kangju and Khorezm) and Luzon respectively, and the rest of his sons who were about to become adults were sent by him to various ministries on errands to learn government experience. As for those who are still young, they naturally stay in the palace and enjoy themselves under the knees of their respective mothers.

Li Yi has a lot of sons, and there are also many daughters, in addition to the eldest princess Li Lin who has married Zhuge Liang (from the Zou family), Li Yu (from the Bian family) married Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun, Li Xiao (from Xiao Sui) married Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu, and Li Chan (from Diao Chan) married Zhang Fei's eldest son Zhang Bao. Li Zhen (from Mrs. Mi) married Guan Ping, the second son of Guan Yu, and Li Qian (from Mrs. Gan) married Zhao Tong, the eldest son of Zhao Yun.

In addition to these children who are in their early twenties, Li Yi also has several daughters who are over 16 years old, and according to the customs at that time, they are also at the age of marriage.

As Li Yi's daughter, that is the status of a princess, and this marriage event cannot be sloppy. After Li Yi thought about it, he held a blind date meeting for his daughter "Don't disturb if you are not sincere", and many important ministers and sons were shot. For example, Xu Maogong's Xu Zhen, Zhang Liao's son Zhang Hu, Yue Fei's third son Yue Lin, and Guan Yu's youngest son Guan Suo are these sons and nephews.

And Li Yi's daily life, no matter how busy he is every day, he has to play games with his four underage daughters and three sons. No matter how tired I am every night, I always take a bath with my concubines and make friends.

The sons are diligent and studious, and the daughters are knowledgeable. Love concubines, physical and mental dedication, Emperor Wude works hard...... In short, Li Yi's family life is very warm.

The family was harmonious, and Li Yi naturally turned his attention to the development of the Tang Empire.

In fact, even if Li Yi does not need to pay attention, with the concerted efforts of the talents of the Manchu Dynasty, the Tang Empire has always been in rapid development.

God also gives face, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been smooth weather. Then again, since God sent Li Yi back, if he doesn't open his eyes and toss around, he is really blind.

In the history of China, there have been many talent blowout periods, among which the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty can definitely be ranked in the forefront. Especially in this time and space, Li Yi traveled through with a summoning system, single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty and developed into an empire, bringing together almost all the talents of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and even summoned the elite of 129 elites from all dynasties, and the strength of the Tang Dynasty can be imagined.

However, development will always encounter bottlenecks, and when the ministers are helpless, they will always think of the emperor.

Emperor Wude was remarkable and held many titles. In the eyes of his subjects, he was a great leader, statesman, thinker, military strategist, scientist, sociologist, poet, and a sage with an encyclopedia-like wealth of knowledge.

The theories put forward by Emperor Wude have never been thought of, and the governing program he put forward is thought-provoking, and the ideas he came up with are enough for people to ponder for a lifetime, so it is already the consensus of the ministers to ask the emperor if it is difficult.

No, at a great court meeting in April of the eleventh year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (216 AD, the previous chapter seemed to be a little wrong, and the year 215 was made into the eleventh year of Wude), the new Hubu Shangshu Wang Meng walked out with a worried face.

In Li Yi's opinion, the important minister was worried, it must have been a big incident, and he immediately asked: "Jingluo, why are you worried?" ”

"Your Majesty, that's what happened...... Wang Meng said.

It turned out that the economy of the Tang Empire was developing rapidly, and the trading volume increased significantly. The volume of a transaction is thousands of times that of the previous one.

It stands to reason that the transaction volume has increased greatly, the tax revenue has also increased greatly, the business is developed, and the people are prosperous.

However, it is constantly reflected that it is very difficult to trade money and goods. Although Datang has good public security, and the traffic is even more accessible under Li Yi's vigorous development, it is not a matter to go to thousands of miles to trade with thousands of catties and dozens of cars.

As soon as Wang Meng said this, the ministers opened the chatterbox.

Lao Jia Xu complained bluntly: "The day before yesterday, the family bought a large item, and the minister carried a sack of money, which made the minister's old arms and legs tired." ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, his mouth was open, and he said in his heart that you are such a big official, you didn't hire anyone?

However, he pondered for a while, closed his mouth, and chirped: "Aiqing is practical, the housework is frugal, and the sleeves are breezy and ......."

This is the emperor's super high praise for the character of his subordinates, and few ministers in previous dynasties can get such praise, and Lao Jia Xule blossomed.

After Pang Tong heard Jia Xu's words on the side, his face twitched, and he said in his heart that this old guy was too shameless. I saw it yesterday, it was his family's subordinates who drove the carriage there, what they carried, blinded the saints, despicable!

However, the problem that Lao Jia Xu said is very representative. The emperor is very good to his courtiers, and he is rich, and the ministers are not short of money at home, who doesn't add big items? Sometimes a single addition is several. It's not safe to carry money, not to mention tiredness, and it's not safe to save it at home.

Especially the transactions between big businessmen, there are countless people who pull dozens of truckloads of money to do business.

With so much money to swagger through the market, sooner or later something will happen.

"Your Majesty......" The ministers looked at it with blank eyes, hoping that the emperor would be able to figure out the idea of a saint.

With such an admiring gaze, Rao Yi Li Yi's face was a little thicker than the corner of the city wall, so he pondered, and the hall was calm for a while.

"There it is!" When the ministers were about to doze off, Li Yi clapped his hands and said happily.

"There it is! The emperor is overjoyed! The emperor is so powerful, and there is a prince again! The half-confused Pang Tong muttered.

Lao Jia Xu hurriedly covered Pang Tong's mouth, and said in his heart that your kid is not going to die, and he is talking nonsense.

Pang Tong, who was in a drowsy state, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and woke up.

The emperor has a national policy!

The emperor's national policy is all sage, and the ministers suddenly came to the spirit, and Wang Meng asked admiringly: "I don't know what the national policy is?" It can solve the problem of difficult transactions. ”

Li Yi smiled: "Paper money! ”

"Banknotes?!" Xu Maogong, the chief minister of military aircraft, was stunned.

The king who asked the question bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, what is paper money?" ”

Li Yi was immediately displeased, and said in his heart, you talents, you don't know what the banknote is? He had no choice but to explain: "That's it...... It's money made of paper......"

Make money!

Paper money!

What the ministers immediately thought of: the kind that is white, round, with a square hole in the middle, and flies all over the sky when the dead are dead.

"Can this money be used?"

"Ahh

"Ugh!"

"Oh!"

……

The ministers were frightened, staggered for a while, and the older ones were already covering their chests.

Faint! The minds of the ministers were surprisingly unanimous. Using "paper money" as currency, isn't it a faint king?

"Yan Shenggong" Kong Rong exclaimed sadly at the time: "Your Majesty, no. Paper money is not allowed, it is detrimental to the national body! ”

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Kou Zhun, Tian Feng and others walked out one after another, and bowed: "Your Majesty, although this paper money is light, it is too fake to be used!" ”

Li Yi was embarrassed for a while, got up and waved his hand and said, "You Aiqing misunderstood, this paper money is not the other paper money." It's a special piece of paper that depicts something on it, consistently, consistently ......and consistently."

It's still paper money.

"Your Majesty, you can't use it!" The ministers all knelt.

Wuhan Donghu Longyan, who is not an economics graduate, was furious, and said that he couldn't explain it clearly with your old stubbornness.

"Retreat!" In the shouting of the female officials on duty, Emperor Wude brushed his sleeves away in displeasure.

………………

In the afternoon, the Imperial Study.

Lu Su, the head of the Department of Commerce, and the president of the Tang Royal Chamber of Commerce, walked in cautiously and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Li Yi also put down the paper on which he wrote and painted, picked up the tea and moistened his throat, and then said: "Zijing, I have a task for you here, you go to the Datang Academy of Sciences, go to Shen Kuo and Ma Jun, and ask them to mobilize seal carvers to make templates for banknotes." ”

Lu Su was thinking about this matter when he got down to the court in the morning. In his opinion, the emperor's national policy is very exquisite, and the difficulty lies in anti-counterfeiting. It seems that the solution is on this template, so he asked: "Your Majesty, what is a template?" ”

With Li Yi coming together, Lu Su also had a systematic understanding. To put it simply, it is the use of engraving printing technology, and this template is naturally engraving. Li Yi especially pointed out that the best craftsmen are used to carve different positions, and they strive for perfection as much as possible, plus their own unique secret marks.
