"If my uncle still can't figure it out, maybe think about Liu Song and Xiao Qi in the Southern Dynasty. Who did not want to manage bad money, but they were all unsuccessful in the end. Why?" Pei Fanxian said earnestly.

Why did this child suddenly become so serious? Lao Pei can't do it if he doesn't think seriously.

Speaking of the previous dynasty, Pei Yan dares to say that Pei Fanxian is definitely not as clear as him.

Historically, small courts from all walks of life in the Southern Dynasty also wanted to govern bad money and restore economic order. Unfortunately, none of the courts succeeded.

Some weaker courts were even more ridiculous. The edict to remake new coins was issued, but the result was that new coins were not minted.

Including the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was a total of two hundred years. The mainstream currency used was the Wuzhu coins minted by the strong Han Dynasty.

The coins they barely minted themselves were even less than five zhu. In other words, under the background of separatism, the court could not even maintain basic coin minting activities.

"What you mean is that we should take advantage of the momentum when the Tang Dynasty is the best and the saints are determined to rectify evil money?"

Pei Fan let out a sigh first. It was really not easy. Pei Yan actually understood everything.

"That's the reason!"

The so-called momentum is the direction of development of things. If you follow the development direction, things will be easy to succeed. If you operate properly, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The Tang Dynasty now requires people and money, and its hardware and software are well-known, and it is not comparable to other courts.

If you don’t work hard at this time, then when will you wait?

"It seems that copper mining needs to be more urgent."

"Uncle, when it comes to copper mines, my nephew knows one thing."

Pei Yan looked at the boy in front of him in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

Good guy!

Even knowing the location of the copper mine, this is definitely not explained by the blessing of ancestors! This kid must have learned some secret techniques of Qimen!

"In Yizhou, a copper mine was discovered during the Southern Dynasties, which was very large in scale. Unfortunately, it was soon encountered war and there was no time to dig."

"The Sui Dynasty had no time to take care of it. If the local officials were ordered to investigate and actively explore, they would surely ensure the supply of copper materials."

"Yizhou, it's a little further away." Pei Yan stroked his chin and thought about the solution: "But don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter."

Pei Yan can still trust this person and do what he says. Or he will not agree. Now that he agrees, there is no need to fail to do so.

Pei Fanxian can rest assured.

The Southern Dynasty was definitely not mentioned casually, but Pei Fanxian was intentionally doing it.

Later scholars have conducted in-depth research on the economic conditions of the Tang Dynasty. Scholars have concluded that after the mid-Tang Dynasty, the economic order of the Tang Dynasty had a tendency to become the Southern Dynasties.

This tendency is manifested in many aspects. In terms of bad money, the circulation of copper coins was actually a major symbol of economic development in ancient times.

In many uncivilized areas, barter is still the main social form, and even if there is currency trading, the circulation level cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty.

This situation also happened during the Southern Dynasties and the North-South confrontation. Compared with the Northern Dynasties, the economic system of the Southern Dynasties was more developed.

Various coins were widely circulated in society. The Southern Dynasties had formed a system of using copper coins to support the war. This was an advanced system, but the Southern Dynasties failed repeatedly in the wars between the two sides and were finally unified by Yang Jian from the north.

Why is this?

It is all because of the lack of copper coin casting ability and wars that will drag down each other. If there are too many wars, the economic system of a society will definitely be affected.

The first thing to be affected is the minting industry. Unlike the popular paper money in modern times, the coins used by various countries in ancient times, whether they were copper coins, silver coins or gold coins required minerals to be minted. To be minted, mineral deposits must be mined.

However, the mining technology in ancient times was limited and the efficiency was not high. Without a stable social order, normal coin minting activities could not be maintained.

The people's social life is not enough, let alone the amount of money is open to supply the war ahead.

Comparing the two sides, is the situation of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion very similar to that of the Southern Dynasties. The protracted war, the destroyed coin system, and the elimination of the martial spirit are all the same.

Therefore, Pei Fanxian raised the issue of cracking down on evil money during this Xianheng period. Now there are still decades before the Anshi Rebellion. If handled properly, a major disaster may be avoided.

Pei Fanxian came back to his senses from a trance, and then he realized that the old traitor opposite him was staring at him, motionless.

Why haven't this person left yet?

He has already reached this point of guidance, is he still not satisfied?

"Good nephew, then tell me, when should we go to the ferry to intercept bad money into Beijing?"

Pei Fan blinked first. The old traitor is worthy of being an old traitor, and he still has two tricks.

Speaking of this issue, he was also a little confused.

"Uncle, this matter needs to be discussed by both of us."

"Discussing together? Didn't you think about it?" Pei Yan was very surprised. He came to visit him today just to eat ready-made ones.

Pei Fanxian nodded heavily: "This is a dilemma and it is not easy to solve."

"We have not yet minted new coins and are not prepared enough. If we rashly confiscate bad money, it will definitely cause turmoil in the two capitals."

"No matter what you do, you need to give people a certain amount of preparation time, especially for those who are involved in a wide range of areas," he said.

Well, Pei Yan nodded. He is worthy of being from my Pei family. He thinks about the problem in a comprehensive way.

For Lao Pei, if you are better, everyone is from the Pei family, so naturally I, Pei Yan, if it is bad, then you are you and I are me, so the difference is clear.

"But on the other hand," Pei Fanxian looked difficult, and Pei Yan's heart was in his throat. What's going on?

Why does this child like to say half of his words?

"It wouldn't be a good thing if the preparation time is too long for the people. Uncle thought about it. The last time the saint promoted the Qianfeng Tongbao, he gave the people enough time and tried to make everyone live a good life."

"It's time to exchange again, and the pattern of bad money is hanging, calling on the people to stop using it, what's the result?"

"The people either hide bad money and wait and see on purpose, and continue to use it when the news passes, or they hope that the court can increase the exchange rate and make profits from it."

"As a result, Uncle also knew very well, and it was indeed their wish!" When talking about this, Pei Fanxian, who had been smiling, had a look of anger on his face.

If you don’t cooperate so much, how can you continue to promote things!

"So, what are you going to do?"

Of course, the bad money imported by Jiangnan should be cracked down, but how to determine this time?

This still requires Pei Fan to make an idea first.

Someone focused and thought, and finally spoke under Pei Yan's earnest gaze.

"Uncle, when you hand in the memorial, there are no other ministers around you!"

Pei Yan laughed: "How could there be no one?"

"I formally handed the memorial to the saint, and it was not the saint who summoned me alone."

"However, there were not many ministers present at that time."

"Only Dai Zhide and Xu Shi."
