Although my uncle said this very firmly, he left a loophole in his words and could only bite the bullet and get into it.

"Your Majesty, you also know that today, the one I lack most in the Tang Dynasty's hardware is copper. Copper is actually not a precious metal, but it has been used for thousands of years by everyone. The son-in-law's idea is to cast gold and silver coins of various sizes, for example, small silver coins can be used as a hundred coins, large silver coins can be used as a one-way, and gold coins can also be handled according to this..." Guidance and induction.

Although the emergence of gold and silver coins is difficult, this is not a new thing. As early as before the Han Dynasty, there were gold coins, such as the Southern Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which cast gold plates with seals such as "Yingyuan" and "Chen". In addition, the Jin Wuzhu of the Han Dynasty are all examples, but the Qin Dynasty only had two generations, and the circulation of gold and Wuzhu of the Han Dynasty was relatively small, and most of them were used by nobles. But at least they were recorded in historical books.

Why? Because the metallurgical technology at that time was not up to standard, but now it is different. Last year, the Tang Dynasty obtained 1,500 kilograms of gold and 15,000 kilograms of silver and 250,000 kilograms of copper, several times higher than the output sent in the first year.

In addition, the information from the Jinzou Academy of the Tang Dynasty was that there were several gold and silver mountains in Central Asia. What is gold and mountain? It means that there are large gold and silver mines that cannot be mined. At the end of last year alone, the total amount of gold collected from Persian countries was as large as 7,000 kilograms. In addition, the annual output of gold by the Tang Dynasty was close to 3,000 kilograms.

That is, the total gold income of the Tang Dynasty exceeded 10,000 kilograms last year. But the problem is that, except for the use of gold and silver as rewards, the rest of the Tang Dynasty was thrown into the treasury and became moldy, which was a huge waste. The Tang Dynasty now has more than 37,000 kilograms of gold, and the silver is as high as 430,000 kilograms. If used to mint coins, it can at least temporarily alleviate the current lack of currency circulating in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, by minting coins, it can also play a macro-control role in stabilizing prices.

Another thing, I have at least some rough understanding of the monetary system in later generations. If the Tang Dynasty could use trade to absorb gold in a large number of ways, with the Tang Dynasty's national strength and wealth creativity, it would definitely play a role in plundering international gold. In addition, the gold standard financial system can be considered quite stable, at least much more advanced than the current tax method of money-performing taxation.

To put it simply, if a merchant wants to sell bulk goods or do big business, at the lowest level, one thousand guan is equivalent to 6,400 jin of land. He needs to hire at least dozens of people to help him move the money to his destination, and he also has to bear the food, accommodation and wages of these people. By this calculation, the net profit of commodity circulation will be reduced.

If the Tang Dynasty could produce currency in units of guan or ten guan, then a merchant could carry this thousand guan with him, which would reduce the consumption of circulation links and reduce the cost. It would naturally greatly increase the enthusiasm of merchants.

These little truths are no less than giving him a vivid knowledge of the market economy, and the emergence of the gold standard, which is equivalent to improving and strengthening the liquidity of the currency and promoting the development and circulation of the market economy.

Commerce is an inevitable law of social development. Our Tang Dynasty should look farther and relax a little, and we should not be limited to the present, but should seize opportunities and promote the economic development of our Tang Dynasty through various means.

"Although the proportion of industry and commerce is low, it can provide such high taxes for the Tang Dynasty. This is a great initiative of the Tang Dynasty. It is also under the wise guidance of your father-in-law, which has led to the economic situation of the Tang Dynasty so far..." In addition to induction and communication, flattery is an indispensable tool, especially for the emperor who is extremely narcissistic and takes patriotism and the people as his responsibility, it is equivalent to a combustion aid.

At least, Uncle Li likes communication methods like this, and I can usually get what I need from this communication method. Looking at Uncle Li’s expression now, I also know that I am only one step away from the goal of victory.

Uncle Li is not a fool, nor is he a fallen king like Emperor Ling of Han who only cares about the world for personal gain, nor is he a foolish king who is arbitrary and never willing to listen to correct opinions and suggestions.

He knew very clearly that any of the suggestions I put forward was beneficial to the development of the Tang Empire. Although some of them still need to be considered, there is absolutely no problem in the general direction.

"Well! I understand your hard work, my son-in-law, and I know very well what you suggest..." Uncle Li stood up and took a slow step

Come: "I am the emperor and the emperor. But if the emperor also violated the law, how would the people in the world view me? If my descendants and descendants all follow the same example, what is the use of the law of my Tang Dynasty? In the past, in order to redeem the death penalty of my close friend, I personally went to heaven for three days to cleanse my clothes and go on hunger strike. Why? I just don't want my Tang Dynasty's law to collapse in my hands. I decided to take my body as the rule and look at the people in the world. Who has any reason to violate my edict!" Uncle Li gritted his teeth and waved his hand fiercely.

When I heard Uncle Li say this, I lowered my body, kowtowed to Uncle Li solemnly, and then shouted excitedly: "Long live the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live!" With my roar, all the great guards and eunuch maids in the hall also knelt on the ground, shouting loudly.

I was so excited that I didn't even know how I walked out of the palace. My throat was dry. I forgot how many times I yelled Uncle Li, and I couldn't remember how many flattering words I said. At least, Uncle Li didn't regret saying what he said just now. What I saw was more of a determination that surpassed the martyrs. The only thing I remember was that Uncle Li announced that his income would be the same as that of the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, with ten taxes.

Great, so great. Along the way, I shook hands with each other with all the familiar guards who were killed. Perhaps I was too excited and scared the guard who led me to the front of me for more than ten steps, for fear that I would molest him if I approached him. However, I was in a good mood today and did not know ordinary people. Even the noise of the Turkic rapper Bonnarjin, who usually felt that it was noisy, became as cheerful as a lark.

"Go on the horse! Bonakin, go home and tell the old lady and his wife that I will go to Wangjiang Tower to book a seat and let them come later. In addition, I will make the decision on your affairs with the eldest sister of the Liu family. In a few days, as long as you and the eldest sister of the Liu family do not object, I will handle it for you personally. How about it?!" People feel refreshed when they are happy and speak much happier than usual.

Bonairjin, who had just gotten on the horse, heard me and got off the horse, hugged my thigh and started yelling excitedly. However, this young master didn't understand Turkic language, and this guy wanted to kiss my boots again, and finally stopped this unhygienic guy. "Be dying, believe it or not, I will take you!" I glared and cursed with a smile.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Bonakin grinned twice, then roared into the sky with excitement. The hoarse voice of the Turks was like the whistling of the wolf. The guards at the palace gate were shaking their heads and staring at Bonakin with a pity, and they must have thought this guy was crazy.

I really had nothing to say about this extroverted but honest Turkic man. Fortunately, Bornarjin quickly remembered the task I assigned, jumped, and without passing the kick, he jumped on the horse's back, whistled, lifted the horse with a front leg and turned, and ran away wildly.

"Young master, this kid is so happy. No matter how he is, he has never seen him like this." Fang Cheng was here, and he looked happy. "You kid is not in a hurry. You have both kids, but Bonalljin is two years older than you. Even talking about kids and wives, so how can you not be in a hurry?!" I smiled at Fang Cheng, waved the reins and whipped them proudly, and headed towards Wangjiang Tower.

It’s not that I don’t want to celebrate at home, but that the old man and my mother were really nervous. When drinking at home, they naturally could not drink in front of their parents, and they didn’t dare to drink in front of the two elders. They naturally became much more free when they were outside. After holding it in for a whole month, what we wanted was relaxing wholeheartedly and carnival, which was my theme today.

When the four beautiful ladies dressed up in a gorgeous manner arrived at the separate loft specially prepared for shareholders and high-end consumers like me, this young master and Fang Cheng each drank less than half a pound of strong wine.
