Section 61 Precursors
"Where did you get the massive copper coins? Why don't I know? Although Li Daozong robbed the copper mine in Nanzhao, but now the war is stalemate, Songzhou and Xuzhou have been destroyed, and the copper mine has not had time to be mined, where is the copper money? “
"There are four bastards who graduated from the academy who are helping His Majesty Xià to formulate a robbery plan, and now it has reached the closing stage, and His Majesty Xià has given me a gag order, so I can't say, I don't want to see you anxiously if I don't see you during this time, I am worried that I can't help but say it and be pulled by your father to behead you, now it's okay, the dust has settled, and those greedy rich people are too late even if they want to turn back, and they can finally sue you, and this time has suffocated me."
Li Tai smiled and said: "Big brother, you are a fan of the authorities, what is Meng Shelong, why can you hold back the footsteps of my Tang army, some time ago I relied on elephants to win a small game, now Li Daozong has been prepared, his elephants are useless, for the war in Xuzhou, I have never cared, if an army equipped with gunpowder can't beat a group of savages, Li Daozong would have committed suicide a long time ago, you are now too dependent, and you believe in documents too much, that thing is written by people, there will always be deviations." “
Since Li Chengqian already knew what he wanted to know, his whole body relaxed, put his hands behind his head, looked at the clouds in the sky and said faintly: "You two have been to the sky, and I want to go up to see it too." “
didn't have time to answer Li Chengqian's words, the eldest grandson's big ship sailed over, it seemed that there was no intention of stopping the ship, the menopausal old woman was unreasonable, it was better to run away first.
Yun Shou's body is very good, the pedal is fast with both feet, and he escapes first, Li Chengqian and Li Tai are also very smart and rely on their boat to turn around and circle around the big boat. As a result, I was almost watered by the splash of the oars, damn it, this is not the style of the eldest grandson, there are children in the boat, and the eldest grandson will never do this.
Sure enough, a small face emerged from the bow of the ship. It turned out to be a son, why did this most obedient little girl start messing around? However, when Li Zhi's head poked out, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yun Ye knew who to settle accounts with later.
This bastard is completely different from the timid and cowardly Li Zhi in history, because he is covered by his father, brother, and sister. has become a villain completely, and with the help of several famous kobold military advisors in history, he is now living a prosperous life, like a wild horse on the loose.
The big boat finally stopped, Li Chengqian got wet and took his son and daughter on the boat, ordered the palace people to change the children's clothes, and kicked Li Zhi, who came over with a smile, to a fart, Li Tai just took his son in his arms. So the child's clothes are dry, and at this time there is a lot of anger. Li Zhi got up before he kicked him down, Yun Ye hurriedly grabbed Li Tai, who was about to continue to move, it was not suitable to punish Li Zhi today.
Li Zhi screamed like a pig, desperately trying to move Yun Ye's feet, and his left hand happened to be trampled under Yun Ye's feet. Yun Ye waited until Li Tai's anger was gone, then he left Li Zhi's hand and followed the others to greet the queen.
The eldest grandson can be said to be dressed up to attend today, in the past, such gatherings would be held in the Zhongji Hall, and this year it looks elegant on the building ship. However, in previous years, the parties invited all the wives. I don't know what it means to invite a group of princesses this year.
Qujiang is far away from the palace, so Yun Ye can't see the grand occasion of the hundred officials in the Wanmin Palace, where the emperor is also holding a spring banquet, the dignified left attendant of the military department Yun Ye is the highest official in this group of sons-in-law, and important ministers like him should have gone to the Wanmin Palace instead of coming to Qujiang, since Li Er threw the crown prince, the king of Wei and himself to the queen's care, needless to say, those nobles who participated in the spring banquet must have a miserable life now.
Li Er was unwilling to let Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Yun Ye see his shameless face, so he deliberately transferred the three of them away, and if the reform of the copper coin was not announced at today's banquet, it would be a ghost.
Yun Ye munched with his head covered, Yun Shou munched with his head covered, Li Chengqian drank wine to the cup, Li Tai personally held a small spoon to beckon his son to eat soup, Changsun Chong fidgeted, his buttocks seemed to have hemorrhoids, he always wanted to get close to Yun Ye to speak, every time he couldn't wait for him to speak, Yun Ye would clink glasses with him, and leave after touching the cup, and he would not give him the slightest chance, it didn't matter if it was revealed to Li Chengqian, if it was revealed to Changsun Chong, it would be a big accident.
Yun Shou was very bold, and asked the eldest grandson when he would be able to marry Yan Rong home, which made the guests laugh, and the eldest grandson also laughed and trembled, Concubine Yang grabbed Yun Shou's hand, twisted it on his fat face, and said that he missed his daughter-in-law at a young age, so he was not ashamed. Tears of her own laughter came out.
"Does your son really want to marry my daughter?" Li Chengqian asked with a smug face.
"Shao Odor Beauty, it is my son who can't see Yan Rong suffering in your East Palace, this kid in order to get my consent, the price of twenty big characters has been opened, which is the highest condition for the child to be able to offer.
God, your East Palace has now become a battlefield, how did you survive with so many women trying to be the crown princess? Yanrong is my daughter-in-law, and when she arrives at my house, she must be a baby, in your broken East Palace, it is a gas bag, your old son and mother are endlessly stuffing women into your East Palace, are you annoying? “
Li Chengqian didn't care at all, hehe smiled and said, "You can't stand it?" Worried that the chaotic East Palace will teach your daughter-in-law badly? My two wives are locked up in the cold palace, if you can help me get them out, even if I get one back, the East Palace will be peaceful. ”
"Why does your wife want me to save it? It's not that Xin Yue was imprisoned, don't do it, you can do it yourself, Your Majesty has been looking at me unpleasantly lately, and he always wants to find a chance to beat me, and some time ago he asked me to accompany him to practice martial arts, isn't it just that my family has changed a little more silver, that is to prepare for the children of the family to make some auspicious silver jewelry, as for spraying my face? ”
"Hehehe, 300,000 silver coins are really not much, I don't know before my father and emperor operated the copper coins, my tears of gratitude for your actions have fallen, you actually did not hesitate to drag four or five nobles to exchange all the stored copper coins for silver, what a deep affection for me, now I know, you are making money in the dark, 300,000 silver coins are enough to bury you alive hundreds of times, you plan to build a house with silver for your children?"
When the two of them were talking, Changsun Chong came over again, he wanted to know very much what Yun Ye was talking to the prince, something was very wrong in Chang'an City recently, no matter how many copper coins his family exchanged, the copper coins in circulation on the market still did not decrease. I thought that the prince borrowed it from the bank, so he bought a lot of copper coins ruthlessly, all of which were at a high price, and waited for the imperial court to change the ratio between copper and silver before releasing a large number of them, so as to make a lot of money.
After many inquiries, I learned that the copper coins in Qianzhuang had also bottomed out, and no one knew where those copper coins came from, perhaps the prince said that some large families had moved the stock that had been released.
Seeing that Yun Ye and the crown prince stopped talking, Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly said: "Don't stop, keep talking, just when I'm not there, you say yours, I'll just listen, if I can tell some secrets that I don't know, it's the best." ”
This is already shameless, relying on familiar friendships, when it comes to the grasp of currency, Li Chengqian is the big shopkeeper, this must be admitted, the household department now has no control over the money bank, so he is not clear.
Li Chengqian laughed and said: "I saw that you were in a hurry, and I didn't say anything, I was just talking to Yezi about reducing the ratio of copper and silver to huàn, and now the ratio of a silver coin to huàn 600 big sons is too high, and the common people have no copper coins to call, and they are thinking about whether to adjust the ratio to the original ratio of one silver coin to 1,000 big sons." Since you want to listen, tell us what you think. ”
The eldest grandson glanced at Yun Ye, saw that he was dealing with a fish, and said suspiciously: "The method is naturally a good way, but our Datang has been short of copper since ancient times, if you want to pull the ratio down, then you need a lot of copper coins, where can we go to find so much copper back, and then the mint, there are only two in our Datang, one is in Chang'an, and the other is in Yuezhou, I haven't heard that they increase production, if you want to mint coins, you must go through three provinces and six ministries, as well as the negotiation of the left and right, plus the personal approval of His Majesty, this is the great weapon of the country, Any private person who wants to exercise this right will surely die a miserable death.
So Your Highness, this road doesn't work, it's useless to say anything without copper, the ratio of copper coins to huàn can't come down, the only way is to increase the ratio of copper coins to huàn, so that it is possible for those people to release the copper coins in their hands. “
Yun Ye put down his chopsticks and said impatiently: "Who said that there is no copper, there is a big island in the South China Sea, and that island is located on a huge copper plate, as long as you send someone to dig it, the ratio of copper coins to huàn has been fried to the sky, and if it goes on like this, the people will not be able to live, I heard that there has been a primitive scene of bartering in some places, and if this problem is not solved, the people will no longer believe in currency." “
"What you say is true, not wrong, even if you have a copper mountain in the South China Sea, it is far away and cannot quench your thirst, how to solve the current problem? You must know that those who have the ability to store copper coins are not ordinary people, and if you want to move them, you have to think about it carefully, what can we juniors do. “
Yun Ye couldn't figure out why Changsun Chong was able to justifiably crusade against the bad behavior of hoarding copper coins, and at the same time wantonly bought a large amount of copper coins from the people, didn't he have a sense of contradiction?
"Since you also think so, I think that a silver coin should be in everyone's interests for a thousand big sons, and I don't know if Your Majesty has issued this will now?"
The eldest grandson Chong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Yun Ye who was light and breezy in a daze. (To be continued......)
