Temple of Manna.

There was no annual leave during the Zhenguan period, and the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year were closed for two days, and then every other day until the Lantern Festival returned to normal.

After the death of the Holy Queen, Li Er did not pay attention to New Year's Day, and stayed alone in the Ganlu Hall to read the documents, and came back from Qinjiazhuang that night, and was very stimulated, a poor Qinjiazhuang for less than two years, everyone was rich, he owned the entire Tang Dynasty, mastered countless resources, not to mention other places, there were still people in Chang'an under his nose who could not eat, which made the proud and confident Li Er feel devastated.

The dignified Holy Son of Heaven is not as good as a Han king?!

Qinjiazhuang's laughter is vivid, like a slap in Li Er's face, which is hot, and it also wakes Li Er up and sees the gap.

"Boom!"

The sound of papers flipping sounded, and the silence of the hall was a little scary.

Wang De looked at the door from time to time, his face was full of worry, according to the past practice, on New Year's Day, Li Er wanted to gather the four concubines, and the family had lunch together, and the harem also sent people over to inquire a few times, I am afraid that this posture will be canceled?

An attendant hurriedly came over and whispered, "Godfather, King Han sent someone to send dividends." He handed over a voucher.

The voucher is printed with a thousand words, with this piece of paper you can go to any industry under the Han Dynasty Mansion for consumption, or you can directly exchange silver, which is much more convenient than carrying silver, and is deeply liked by everyone, Wang De put the voucher closely, looked at no one around, and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever done a good job?" ”

"Godfather, don't worry, our people have arrived in Hanzhou and entered the Sky Net of King Han, and King Han's arrangement for our people is also very reasonable, giving us enough face, and there is no upper limit for the caravan to get the goods, and how much you can earn depends on your ability."

"That's good, King Han is benevolent, with this road, our family can be blind to death."

"Godfather, you can't say that, everyone remembers your kindness to the children, just wait for one day to be filial and give you a good pension."

"Just your sweet mouth, go, tell King Han, just say that the saint is checking the account of the household department, and his intentions are unknown."

"In the evening, the child booked a table in the hot pot city, and I heard that I didn't do it, so I took it back to the palace in a while, and my godfather came over to have a few drinks." The other party said and bowed and hurried away.

"There's no time to spare." Wang De glanced at the hall of manna, smiled bitterly, and suddenly heard the inside shouting to summon the king of Jin, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly arranged for someone to announce the decree.

Not long after, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, came over and entered the palace.

In the hall, Li Er pointed to the low stool next to the stove to Li Zhi, who was saluting, motioned to sit down, sorted out a stack of papers, put them aside, and said in a low voice: "Zhi'er, if I pass on the throne to you, how will you treat King Han?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!"

Li Zhi was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and hurriedly said: "My father is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and my sons don't dare to think about it, and the Tang Dynasty doesn't have a father, so my sons don't dare to imagine what will happen." ”

"Don't you even have the courage to think?" A flash of disappointment flashed in Li Er's eyes.

"Erchen doesn't dare to think about it, Erchen only hopes to live forever under the protection of his father, to be an idle prince, without worrying about food and clothing, and at ease."

Li Er glanced at Li Zhi deeply, looking frightened, but in fact, his eyes were clear, it could be seen that he didn't dare, he was still pretending, but he was relieved in his heart, if he didn't even have the courage to think, he was cowardly and incompetent, and he really reconsidered, and immediately asked: "Sit down, today you and my father and son will talk freely, no need to be restrained." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Talk about it, don't worry."

Li Zhi reluctantly realized that this was an examination school, not a temptation, and his mind was lively, and he had thought about this problem for more than a day, and he had already had a stomach, so he immediately said solemnly: "Father, the son doesn't know if it's right or not, if it's not right, I also ask my father to forgive and correct." ”

Li Er nodded quietly, and he was innocent of his mistakes by default.

Li Zhi was a little bolder, and continued: "Erchen thinks that the Han King is a great talent, rare for a thousand years, and should be reused, but he has to be guarded against, Han has Dong Zhuo, Wei has Sima Yi usurped the throne, and Sui has Yang Xuangan, but how to balance between use and defense, Erchen doesn't know. ”

"Why isn't it Bai Qi of Qin, Wei Qing of Han, Zhuge Liang of Shu, and Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu?"

Li Zhi couldn't guess Li Er's true thoughts, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said cautiously: "Father, Bai Qi and Wei Qing are military generals, and they have no talents in the world, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have talents in the world, but they are not military generals, and the King of Han is both civil and military, even if he has no antipathy, but he also has ambitions, and the conquest of the Western Regions is the left proof, given time, even if the King of Han does not want to, the people around him will push him to that step." ”

"You are very good, you are not in vain for your father to teach you." Li Er smiled with satisfaction.

Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this wave ...... The bet was right, and his spirit was shocked, so he heard Li Er continue to ask: "But have you thought about another question?" Trend. ”

"What do you mean?" Li Zhi was a little confused.

Li Er said self-deprecatingly: "I pride myself on being an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and I am also determined to be a generation of Ming Jun, I have been conscientious and conscientious all these years, with virtuous ministers, far villains, open the way, accept good advice, the Tang Dynasty is changing with each passing day, prosperous and prosperous, and the four seas are surrendered, I thought I was doing a good job, but I went to Qinjiazhuang yesterday and found that it was just a frog at the bottom of the well." ”

"How can my father be arrogant, who doesn't know the Tang Dynasty......"

Li Er waved his hand to signal Li Zhi to stop, glanced at the thick paperwork, and said with a wry smile: "Achievements are not whitewashed, real data is needed, I just carefully checked Chang'an's taxes this year, which is more than half less than in previous years, do you know why this is so?" ”

"Why? The son was stupid, and asked his father to inform him. ”

"Because a small part of it went to Qinjiazhuang."

"Ahh

Li Er continued with a somewhat lonely expression: "The Han King opened a barbecue bar, a hot pot city, a department store, a bazaar and a shop in the East Market, and the people of Chang'an flocked to it, which made it difficult for other merchants to continue their business, and a large amount of silver flowed into the hands of the Han King, and the Han King had a holy decree of not paying taxes for ten years, in other words, the Han King made a lot of money, and the court had nothing, and if this continued, Chang'an's taxes would probably have to be reduced next year, and the eastern and western cities would have to be closed." ”

"Shhh...... If you don't pay taxes for ten years, can that be canceled? Li Zhi was taken aback.

"How can the decree be changed?"

Li Er also wanted to cancel, but he couldn't, otherwise the prestige of the imperial court would be lost, and the consequences would be more serious, but when he thought that the entire business of Chang'an City would be monopolized by Qin Huaidao, and there would be no taxes, he became a little uneasy, and continued: "The tax is still secondary, and what is more terrible is the voucher issued by the King of Han, according to investigation, the people of Chang'an are scrambling to exchange vouchers, just because the vouchers are cheaper than silver, and a large amount of silver flows into the hands of the King of Han. ”

This question is beyond the scope of Li Zhizhi's solution, and he is speechless.

Li Er didn't understand financial warfare either, but he sensed that something was wrong, and continued: "Once the people of Chang'an City don't use silver, all use vouchers, and the money issued by the imperial court is also exchanged for vouchers, it won't be long before the imperial court will have no silver available, and a catastrophe will come at that time." ”

"Ah......h

Li Zhi was surprised again, he had studied countless sage books, but none of them talked about them, and he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly asked: "Father, the imperial court also uses vouchers?" ”

"No way!"

Li Er said solemnly: "The voucher belongs to the King of Han, if the court also uses it, once the King of Han suddenly cancels the voucher one day, wouldn't the voucher in the court's hand be a pile of waste paper?" Moreover, once the court uses the voucher, it can no longer do anything to the king of Han, otherwise the voucher will also be reduced to waste paper, not only can it not be used, but it must also stabilize the king of Han and ensure that the certificate is not invalid, do you know what this means? ”

"It means that the imperial court is manipulated by the King of Han in disguise." Li Zhi is not good at business, he doesn't understand finance, but he is very politically sensitive, and he can understand it at one point, and he reacted instantly, and his face changed greatly.

If the imperial court is manipulated, then what is the point of being an emperor?

The emperor still has to look at other people's faces to act, otherwise he will fall, and that would be too embarrassing.

At this moment, Li Zhi realized that the evidence was terrible, his face kept changing, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Father, it must not be controlled, it must be banned." ”

"How to ban it? The voucher is similar to an IOU, it is not silver, nor is it paper money, and it does not violate the law of Zhenguan, and the imperial court cannot rashly ban it. ”

Li Zhi said worriedly: "Then re-enact." ”

"Legislation is not good, the voucher is just an IOU voucher issued by the Han Palace, like how much silver is borrowed, write a voucher, it can be exchanged for silver in the future, how to legislate? No one should be allowed to write an IOU, and many people of insight in the DPRK and China have written to impeach the IOU, but no one has proposed a solution, and this is the terrible part. ”

"No one can come up with a solution? So what to do? Li Zhi's face changed again, which meant that there was no solution, and he said anxiously: "It can't be banned, and it must be solved, then there is only one way, force!" ”

Li Er shook his head indifferently, inexplicably frightened in his heart.

Li Zhi also reacted that if he could use force, his father would probably do it earlier.

The key is that it may not be possible to fight by force, the title of the king of Han can be killed, and it will be true if you do it, not to mention the civil and military officials, and give the king of Han an excuse to rebel.

How good is that?

Li Zhi couldn't help but look at his wise and martial father, and suddenly felt that that position was not easy to sit.
