Chapter 503 Convince Han Xizai

Han Xizai was already in the state, and the matter of the Censorate was almost settled. He came to visit Ye Hua and wanted to talk about supervising Juntian. By the way, he returned smoothly from the south and couldn't get along with Chen Tuan's help. Han Xizai wanted to meet Chen Tuan and talk about his friendship.

But when he met Li Gu, he encountered a lot of fake copper coins. Han Xizai was so smart that he instantly figured out Li Gu’s plan.

I was immediately angry, and the little bit of embarrassment I had once thrown out of the sky.

"Li Gu, aren't you afraid of going to hell if you make a big falsified money and steal huge profits?"

Li Gu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "The money I made is real, using high-quality copper materials, which is enough to be worth a lot. What can I go to hell? On the contrary, you are treacherous and have no one. Can you return to the Central Plains? As soon as you became the Chief Censor, you framed me and asked yourself, are you worthy of your conscience?"

"The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. If you are corrupt, who can you blame?"

"Who is greedy?" Li Gu's voice rose eight degrees higher, "I am dedicated to managing the country's finances. You don't know anything, and you dare to talk nonsense, villain, a complete villain!"

...

These two people were so rude that they cursed that they were so rude. Even when they were young, they were not paid for drinking wine. They were blushing with thick necks and were not polite at all.

Ye Hua was so angry that he heard it.

"Then you two don't argue for now." Ye Hua said: "The saint asked me to recommend two princes. What do I mean is to let you two pick them up?"

"Crown Prince?"

Both of them were interested and asked together: "Why choose us?"

Ye Hua said: "King Han is very talented and familiar with the situation in Jiangnan, has extraordinary experience, and is upright and has a good character and integrity, which are the best choices."

After hearing Ye Hua's comment, Han Xizai couldn't help but stand up straight, but his face was still very reserved, "It's just duty, the Marquis praised him."

"As for Mr. Li? Someone impeached you for improper employment. I guess the Sansi Envoy will not be able to do it. Do you want to be demoted from the capital, take over the military and appeasement envoy, or stay in the capital, feel a little wronged, and be the prince's master?"

Li Gu people were old and he could guess that the emperor was even murderous. Even if he had a way to make up for the deficit, he would not want to escape unscathed. He could have secretly enjoyed it after leaving the Sansi Envoy.

But the emperor could let him go, but the scholars could not let him go.

After leaving the capital, he was a piece of meat at the mercy of others. There are some ways for civil servants to toss him. Today I will transfer you to Chenzhou, tomorrow I will transfer you to Youzhou, but I will not sit firmly, and then transfer you to Luoyang... It's just like this that the world is full of trouble, and people with copper and iron bones can't stand it, let alone an old man over 60s, who will be able to toss you alive to death. It's a kind of person who dies in a foreign land. It's so miserable!

He must not leave the capital, but he is already a plan. He cannot be promoted or surrendered. There is no place in the capital... After all, he can only run to Ye Hua and become a master for the prince.

Although the prince's master is only a fifth rank, far smaller than the governor's comforting envoy, he would not dare to break up with him after he got on the big tree of the prince.

Even if Li Gu saved his life, he even retained the opportunity to make a comeback.

To be honest, Ye Hua’s arrangement is interesting.

He said he wanted to get Li Gu, but he did it. He minted counterfeit coins, quenched the emperor's anger, came to teach the prince, and retained another incense.

If Li Gu lived a long life, he would even have the opportunity to make a comeback and make a comeback.

In this intriguing officialdom, even relatives and friends may not be able to do this. Ye Hua is a kind person! After experiencing the ups and downs, Li Gu finally saw through it.

"The Marquis Gao Yi, the old man engraved his heart, used as a cow and horse, and carved grass and rings..."

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Gong Li, let's put official affairs first, teach the prince and deal with money matters, you can't make any mistakes."

Li Gu nodded vigorously, "Please don't worry, marquis, I understand!"

Han Xizai refused to agree to what he said.

"Mr. Marquis, I have something to say."

Ye Hua had known for a long time and smiled slightly, "Han Zhongcheng, do you not bear the creatures in Jiangnan being robbed?"

Han Xizai nodded, "Marty, it's true that I am a Changli native, but I have lived in Jiangnan for decades. Although Jiangnan is known as the hometown of fish and rice, it is prosperous and prosperous, but wars have been rampant over the years, and the people have long lost their power and suffered a lot... I wrote a letter to Li Hongji, hoping to imitate the Central Plains and promote equal fields... But he refused to listen, and I returned to the Central Plains. If, according to the old thief's wishes, the people in Jiangnan would be looted again, and they would have no way to make a living. At that time, thousands of miles of naked land and white bones are everywhere... Li Gu!" Han Xizai shouted, "You are also a scholar, and you once took the world as your responsibility. Are you afraid of being ashamed? Besides, the saints are determined by the world, and the people in Jiangnan are sooner or later, the people of the Great Zhou. Do you want the saint to take over a Southeast with a lot of holes and a lot of people's hearts?

Faced with Han Xizai's righteous accusations, Li Gu's old face turned slightly red. It was indeed harmful to mint counterfeit coins, but if it weren't, how could he pass the test?

Who will talk about Jiangnan in the future? Now Jiangnan is under the rule of Li Hongji. Even if they all die, what does it have to do with him?

Li Gu snorted and squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Pediagra!"

Han Xizai took a deep breath, "I am pedantic, but I know that the foundation of governing the country lies in the hearts of the people, and the foundation of the people lies in the land! As long as you clear the land and divide the land equally, the Great Zhou will be arrogant. Why should you play these tricks? Li Gu, can you guarantee that the Great Zhou will not issue big money in the future? It will not harm your own people? Such evil examples cannot be made, and I don't believe it. One day, the treasury of the Great Zhou will not be enough. Will you issue big money?"

Han Xizai pressed step by step and stared at Li Gu, which made Li Xianggong very embarrassed.

"Han Xizai, don't be aggressive. The two countries are fighting each other. How can a scholar like you understand!"

No matter how they quarreled, they couldn't get any result, so Han Xizai had to turn to Ye Hua.

"Han Zhongcheng, it seems a bit inappropriate to cast counterfeit coins, but it also has to be done."

Han Xizai frowned and said mournfully: "Marty! Could it be that you?"

Ye Hua reached out and stopped Han Xizai.

"Han Zhongcheng, listen to me." Ye Hua said: "This currency itself does not represent wealth, it is just a tool for valuation of wealth."

Han Xizai was puzzled, "What is wealth?"

"Grain, cloth, livestock, wood, iron, porcelain, and brain power and labor are real wealth. The reason why copper coins are valuable is that they can exchange the goods and labor required by using copper coins. Do Han Zhongcheng agree?"

Han Xizai thought hard, and Ye Hua picked up a copper slap, put it on the table, then picked up the teacup, took a sip, Han Xizai nodded, "I understand what the marquis mean, but how can copper coins be exchanged for these, why isn't it wealth?"

Ye Hua smiled and shook his head, "Han Zhongcheng, let me use you as an analogy. Han Xizai is you, but will you change?"

Han Xizai didn't understand why, but Li Gu understood Ye Hua's ideas better.

"Han Xizai is a name, just like a copper coin. The person represented by this name was in his prime twenty years ago, and twenty years later, his temples were gray. In another twenty years, he would be a piece of yellow earth and a few dead bones! A few days ago, you were the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and now you are the chief censor of the Great Zhou Dynasty! The name is still the same, but people are very different!"

Li Gu's tone is annoying, but it is explained very clearly.

"Han Zhongcheng, if you read the classics and history well, you must know that prices have soared due to wars in the past dynasties. After peace in the world, prices will fall, and even the grain will hurt farmers."

Han Xizai nodded, "I have heard of it, but what does this have to do with copper coins?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Mr. Han, if you use copper coins as the standard, a copper coins represent different wealth in different periods, isn't it just like a person's name?"

"oh!"

Han Xizai suddenly realized, "Mr. Marquis is indeed a great argument, I admire him! Yes, but what does this have to do with forging big money?"

"have."

Ye Hua said: "Since ancient times, the Central Plains have lacked gold, silver and copper materials, and our people are the most diligent people. They have created ten times and a hundred times wealth, but because of the lack of tools for pricing, they have become the fish of powerful people! The lessons are profound."

"Li Hongji issued the top ten coins, although he intended to exploit Wu Yue, in fact, it was also insufficient currency. We also used this to make profits. However, one day, if we take down Jiangnan, we must reform the currency. The people may suffer losses at the moment, but in the long run, we will still benefit."

Ye Hua sighed: "It's impossible to bitter first and sweet first. Moreover, through the issuance of currency, the original system can be destroyed. The so-called "no destruction" will not be established. Han Zhongcheng, why can't you implement equalization in Jiangnan? Because various forces are intricate, Li Hongji does not have the courage to fight this huge group, and he dare not! If you want to truly equalization in land, you must first break the interest group, issue as the top ten money, and destroy the financial and monetary system, which is the first step to breaking the big breakthrough and building!"

Li Gu listened silently next to him, and he was about to kneel down and call him Master!

Ye Hua is really capable of fooling him. He is obviously full of bad things. If he wants to make a lot of money, he will become open and upright when he comes to his mouth. He will almost do his best to the heavens!

But Han Xizai also nodded frequently when he heard it, "The Marquis's far-sightedness is admirable, but I think that the Marquis's plan is the country, and Li Gu, who is the man who is planning to be private! Letting him be responsible for this matter will only cause bad things!"

No matter what, Han Xizai completely distrusts Li Gu.

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Han Zhongcheng, why don't you let Xianggong Li mint the money like this? You will be responsible for supervising it. By the way, use your relationship in Jiangnan to spread the money out. With Han Zhongcheng watching, I think even if Xianggong Li is determined to do evil, he will not be able to do it."
