Section 82 The Idea of the Five-Baht Coin (4 more!) )
Not to mention Yuan Gusheng, who was like a mourner, was supervised by several guards and walked out of Shanglin Yuan.
After this life, not only the impression of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, on Liu De has been greatly strengthened, but even the Empress Dowager Dou thinks that this grandson is very good.
The reason, half of it is because Liu De can speak according to her thoughts, and his style of acting is quite in line with her mind, which makes her feel a sense of brightness, and the other half is that women's natural sensibilities are at work, women's temper is the most elusive thing in the world, although the Empress Dowager Dou is the queen mother, but after all, she is a woman, just when she touched Liu De's cheeks, she touched Liu De's cheekbones, and inexplicably remembered her late husband, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who seems to have such cheekbones.
In fact, Liu De's brothers in this lineage, although their appearances are different, they basically inherit some of the facial characteristics of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, in fact, almost every brother's cheekbones on their faces are similar, but the Empress Dowager Dou has suffered from eye disease for nearly 14 years, and her eyesight has been diving in the last six or seven years. It's nice to remember the voice!
It can only be said that Liu De is lucky, lucky, and with the help of Liu Xuan, he can be touched by the Empress Dowager Dou, and then let him recall the appearance of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen when his eyes were sound.
The ancestors and grandchildren ate some things and watched the performance for a while, at this time, it was getting late, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, said: "Let's get here today, the queen mother will go back to the palace to rest early......"
Empress Dowager Dou nodded and said, "Well, listen to the emperor's ......"
Saying that, she slowly stood up with the support of several maids, and Liu Concubine hurriedly followed, saying, "Your Majesty, I will accompany my mother back to the palace first!" ”
Chen Ajiao was a little reluctant to Liu De at this time, and pulled Liu De's sleeve and said: "Cousin Liu De, you have to remember, you promised Gillian that you would accompany Gillian to Ganquan Palace in two days!" ”
Liu De smiled and pinched her face, nodded and promised: "Of course this cousin remembers!" A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse! ”
Chen Ajiao happily followed her mother's footsteps.
When the Empress Dowager Dou and Liu Concubine and Chen Ajiao are all gone, Liu De and Liu Qi, father and son, will be left in the pavilion.
"Liu De, come, sit down......" After Liu Qimu, the son of heaven, sent the Empress Dowager Dou away, he warmly beckoned Liu De to sit beside him, held Liu De's hand and said, "How long have you and my father and son not sat together like this?" ”
Liu De bowed his head and replied: "Back to my father, Erchen remembers that when he was seven years old, Erchen accidentally fell off the fence of Sixian Garden, and my father held Erchen's hand like this at that time, comforting Erchen not to be afraid......"
In Liu De's fragmentary and mixed memories, this is already the last residual memory of the warmth of father and son.
"Yes......" Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, said with some guilt: "I have been busy with national affairs all these years and neglected to take care of you children...... In a blink of an eye, you are so old and sensible, which is very good! ”
When he said that the last sentence was very good, there was already some praise in his tone, and Liu De knew how rare this was for his cheap father, who had always been strict and proud of himself.
This sentence is very good, it is not only an appreciation for Liu De's performance today, but also an affirmation of the achievements he has made these days.
Liu De immediately said very uprightly: "Erchen didn't dare to praise his father, Erchen thought that it was his father's teaching and meritorious ......"
"Don't be modest...... Son of Heaven Liu Qi patted Liu De's shoulder with a smile and said: "My Han family has always been rewarded for meritorious service, let's say, what reward do you want?" ”
Then he looked at Liu De with a smile and waited for Liu De's answer.
Liu De thought about it, sorted out his thoughts and ideas, and then said: "Don't dare to deceive my father, my sons came to see my father today, and I have something to ask for!" ”
"Let's talk about it......" Liu Qi, the son of heaven, put away the appearance of a loving father, and waited for the way, once it comes to court politics and state affairs, there is no other private relationship to talk about in his eyes, for him, this world, this society, this country, is like a heavy burden on his shoulders, sometimes in his sleep, he is thinking about the government, because he is afraid that one day under the Jiuquan, he will meet the first emperor Emperor Xiaowen, Emperor Xiaowen asked him: What is the Jiangshan Sheji? But he was speechless.
Liu De took out the brand-new five-baht coin from his arms, handed it to the cheap father, and said: "Back to my father, my son and son borrowed a money casting workshop from Shaofu some time ago, and minted this money......
Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, took the five-baht coin in his hand and weighed it first, feeling heavier than the ordinary four-baht coin, and then, holding it in front of his eyes, he saw the inscription of the word 'five baht' engraved on the coin.
He sighed and asked, "Five baht?" ”
"Exactly!" Liu De kowtowed and said: "Erchen has been checking the currency history of the Warring States these days, and diligently studying my Han family coins, Erchen thinks that the eight-baht coin is too heavy, which is not conducive to circulation, and the three-baht coin is too light, and the people don't like to use it. At the same time, it may be possible to transfer the profits of coinage from the princes to the treasury of the Sheji government! So, it was decided to mint the five baht coin, and today this money is released, and the son does not dare to hide it anymore, so he has come to report to his father! ”
Liu Qi took the five-baht coin, put it in the palm of his hand and touched it gently, this coin in terms of shape, design and appearance, for the son of heaven Liu Qi has had an impact, with his political wisdom, naturally quickly thought of it, if this money replaces the four baht coin, it can basically paralyze the coinage industry, one of the two major sources of wealth of King Wu Liu Bi, even if it can't, it can also make its profits greatly reduced.
Art of War Cloud: Eat the enemy for one minute, be my ten bells!
It's just that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, quickly thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Liu De, you shouldn't have dedicated this money to me for free, if you have any reward, just say it, I have promised you!" ”
"Father Emperor Shengming, how can the son's little calculation escape the eyes of his father?" Liu De immediately sent it away, and said with a smile: "The son wants to ask his father to grant the son a license to buy this year's protective grain for the Shaofu......"
He lowered his head and twisted for a while before he was embarrassed to say his purpose: "Didn't Erchen get some bronze artifacts from the trial rebellion?" The son wants to mint all of them into five baht coins, and then use the money to buy this year's protective food......"
This is the real purpose of Liu De to meet the cheap daddy.
Liu De knows very well that if the money he minted is not endorsed by his cheap father, it is basically difficult to bring him any benefits in a short period of time, and it may even be difficult to maintain the capital in circulation.
And to contend with local protectionism and powerful bureaucrats, he doesn't have that strength now.
In this case, we can only find another way.
In later generations, there were rumors of various insider transactions in the Great Celestial Empire, and various officials and businessmen relied on the policy information obtained in advance, buying high and selling low to obtain full profits.
And what Liu De did was just imitation.
Now Liu De clearly remembers that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu will break out in the spring of next year, and the price of grain in Guanzhong will inevitably rise next year, and in his memory, this year's autumn harvest will be a bumper harvest in Guanzhong.
Therefore, what Liu De needs to do now is to take the power to buy grain at a protective price into his own hands.
Then, taking advantage of the bumper harvest in Guanzhong, he bought a few million stones of corn and hoarded it until next year, which was a good income.
Although the profit may not be large because of the protective price mechanism he proposed, that is not the key at all, the key is that his five baht can be circulated through the guò channel without any hindrance.
Once finance begins to circulate, Liu De knows how big the effect will be.
Moreover, through this matter, Liu De will not only further consolidate his position and advantages, but at the same time, he will really tie everyone around him to his chariot to form a terrifying community of interests!
Of course, the cheap daddy will also mint five baht coins through guò, put his hand in, and share most of the profits generated by the five baht coins.
But even if it is the rest, it is enough for Liu De to spend.
You must know that there are tens of billions of coins circulating in the Han Dynasty today, and even if Liu De only accounts for one percent of the profits, it is still hundreds of millions of money, which is enough for him to organize and maintain the development and growth of a political interest group!
