Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2641 Currency Reform
A hero with three gangs, no matter how wise and mighty the emperor wants to achieve a career, he can't do it alone. After all, he must have some excellent staff who are sensitive to current affairs and good at calculating to make things happen, let alone in the middle of a whirlpool. A prince who is enemies in and around?

Without a good staff, in such an environment surrounded by powerful enemies, it is impossible to successfully inherit the throne, even if he is completely unharmed.

On the contrary, because Li Chengqian has already occupied the righteousness, as long as his own ability is above the standard, he can achieve great things with a few outstanding staff.

In fact, Li Chengqian's performance in the early days was very good, but in the end he ended up in such a miserable end. It is really different from the old masters around him whose theory is greater than practice, who have a reputation for nothing but a collection of classics and history, but have no experience in court battles. I don't care...

……

Hearing Fang Jun's words, Li Chengqian and his wife turned pale immediately.

Now His Majesty Li Er has already favored childish slaves. If the crown prince violates His Majesty Li Er's taboo again, causing a estrangement in his heart, I am afraid that His Majesty Li Er's heart of easy storage will be strengthened.

No matter how much effort you put in, it is impossible to reverse His Majesty Li Er's thoughts...

Li Chengqian even almost blurted out the words "Master Yu mistaken me", but he held back the words, and hurriedly pulled Fang Fangjun's arm, and said eagerly: "Fortunately, Erlang pointed out, otherwise Guzhu made a big mistake! According to Erlang, what should we do?"

Fang Jundao: "Your Highness, please remember that anything that has anything to do with military power must not be contaminated. Even if His Majesty marches in person next spring, and you successfully exercise the power of supervising the country, you must make it clear to His Majesty that you request His Majesty to personally appoint a minister to lead the Panshang army and be responsible for the defense of the capital. You never ask."

His Majesty Li Er is the hero of a generation, he is the most conceited and proud, such a person will never entrust all his trust to anyone, especially the son of the prince.

The more talented and strategic a person is, the more suspicious he will be. If you want to gain his trust, don't touch those sensitive places.

Li Chengqian nodded frequently, and said, "I got it!"

Then he sighed and said, "At first, I wanted to choose a yamen to make some achievements to show my father, but where is the yamen that is easier to make achievements than the left and right guards?"

Although neither the emperor nor the Zhengshitang has issued a decree to cancel the curfew, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew in Chang'an City has existed in name only, and Chang'an City, the most powerful city in the world, has a new brilliance. , making the whole city more and more prosperous, business tax and lijin flowed into the treasury of the Ministry of Civil Affairs like a tide, and the banning of the curfew was imperative.

The chaos of the Han Dynasty and the doubling of population mobility have made the public security situation in Chang'an City deteriorating. Relying solely on the strength of the Jingzhao Mansion is no longer enough to stabilize the public security in the capital. It is easy to bring law and order to a new level.

But now it is discovered that this kind of military power that can affect the safety of the capital must never be touched. Seeing that such achievements cannot be touched, Li Chengqian can't hide his disappointment...

Fang Jun murmured: "It's up to people, as long as His Highness is determined and willing to make achievements for His Majesty, why worry about not having a chance?"

Li Chengqian hurriedly asked: "What's Erlang's opinion?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, and said: "Duke Tang Guo is now lingering in a sick bed. It has been many days since he has been able to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take care of the affairs of the Ministry. All affairs are in charge of the two servants. Some people in the court have already advised to choose another capable one. Since I am serving as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, why don't Your Highness take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to preside over the overall situation?"

Li Chengqian was slightly embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Erlang doesn't know something. Although Gu has studied under famous masters since childhood, he is not bad in terms of classics and history. Even if it is not as good as Qingque, it is not far behind. I don’t know anything about it, the Ministry of Civil Affairs raises money and food, and accounting books, just thinking about it is a headache, so how can I achieve results?”

As soon as the words fell, the crown princess Su Shi who had been silent all the time smiled lightly, gave Li Chengqian a reproachful look, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Your Highness is ignorant in front of the true Buddha. Of course you don't understand arithmetic, But the person in front of you is a rare master of arithmetic in the whole world, even if people like Li Chunfeng are willing to bow down, what else do you have to worry about?"

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty praised me absurdly, I am ashamed of myself."

Crown Princess Su Xianxian held the serving chopsticks in her hands and served the two of them with dishes. Hearing this, she chuckled, "Why should Fang Shaobao underestimate himself? Now your book "Mathematics" has not only become a mathematics textbook in the academy, but has also been used by Hongwen Museum, Chongwen University, etc. Everyone in the library and the Taishi Bureau highly respected and agreed that it is a wonderful book that has never existed in the ages, and that it has reached the pinnacle of mathematics, which is known to all.”

Li Chengqian clapped his palms and laughed: "Gu really has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai! Erlang is a scholar of heaven and man, knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. department?"

He picked up the jug, filled Fang Jun's glass himself, raised his glass and said, "Also ask Erlang to help me!"

Fang Jun hurriedly raised his glass to meet each other, and said: "I dare not do my best and devote myself to everything!"

Li Chengqian also said: "I swear today that I will never be held accountable!"

The Crown Princess Su Shi who was on the side also raised her wine glass and said in a clear voice: "May our two families be forever in love with Qin and Jin, and never lose each other forever!"

This is a heavier promise than marrying Princess Lantian to Fang Jun's son. With this promise, as long as Li Chengqian can successfully ascend the throne, it is equivalent to the fact that Fang's family will be relatives of the emperor for generations. As long as he does not rebel, then It is the glory and wealth, and rest with the country!
Fang Jun was unwilling in his heart, the style of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty was really a problem, the Fang family was tricked by Princess Gao Yang, but thanks to Fang Xuanling's hard work and great blessings, the descendants of the Fang family were not beaten to death, and they gradually changed from Rise from the low.

But he relied on the wisdom of the traveler to change his fate against the sky and avoid the disaster of Princess Gaoyang, but who knows that his descendants will not be pushed into the abyss by another Princess Gaoyang in the future?

Power is a double-edged sword. There are many benefits to being close, but once you accidentally hurt yourself, it will be fatal...

But on this occasion, he is absolutely not allowed to say the words of refusal, so he can only say: "This minister swears allegiance to His Highness to the death, and will never be held accountable!"

The three of them toasted together, raised their heads and drank it dry.

Fearing that the Crown Princess Su would mention the marriage again, Fang Jun preemptively said: "If Your Highness enters the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is true that the clean-up can be done in a short period of time and some results will be achieved, but it is not enough to impress Your Majesty, so we cannot Follow the rules and follow the steps step by step, but make great efforts to improve.”

Li Chengqian asked humbly: "What advice does Erlang have?"

Fang Jundao: "I don't dare to teach you, it's just that your majesty has great ambitions. How can you take a high view just because your highness is straightening out the affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs? If you want to impress your majesty, you have to do something that shakes the world. Now everyone The commercial prosperity of the Tang Dynasty made Kaiyuan Tongbao not enough to use, and there was a serious shortage of money in all parts of the world. However, copper mines in the world are scarce, and mining is slow, which cannot keep up with the lack of coins. If things go on like this, money will be expensive and goods will be cheap, and prices will be high. The people's income is decreasing day by day, and the reform of the currency system is imminent and imperative. Previously, the ministers had advised His Majesty several times to increase the minting of gold and silver coins and circulate them all over the world to replace large amounts of currency. This move can temporarily alleviate the risk of lack of money. How to increase the mintage and how much to increase the mintage, but it is necessary to grasp an extremely strict quantity, otherwise, if there is too much, the price of coins will be flooded and the price will boil, and the harm will be extremely far-reaching.”

Datang's commercial development was too fast, and the coin casting was far from keeping up with the commercial growth rate, which would cause great harm in the long run.Although gold can be circulated today, there has never been an official exchange rate.

Moreover, silver is not considered a currency at all, even if private transactions still adopt the original barter method, silver transactions are not accepted, which makes it useless for the navy to plunder the silver from overseas and put it in the warehouse for nothing.

Datang is now a powerful country, plundering gold all over the world, and possessing extremely high gold reserves. At this time, quitting the gold standard can plunder the wealth of the world to the maximum extent. When the current rapidly growing economic situation gradually stabilizes, Datang's The scale of the economy is enough to coerce the world. If the gold standard is abolished and the credit currency is promoted, it will be able to plunder wealth again, complete primitive accumulation, become a veritable number one power in the world, and control the economies of all countries in its own hands.

At that time, the whole world will be Tang money, who can match it?
