"The ministers seconded!"
In the early dynasty, Tai Chi Hall.
After Fang Xuanling took the lead in expressing his support for Tang Yuan and
Yanhuang Qianzhuang, several ministers followed in their support, especially
the generals led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. For these generals, Datang In
the future, whether it is to use copper coins or Tang Yuan, it seems that it
will not have much impact. Even if Tang Yuan replaces copper coins, they will
find it much more convenient!
Every time the Datang army goes out, although the most things they bring are
grain and grass, they will also carry some copper coins. On the one hand, they
may need to supplement supplies in neighboring states and counties on the way,
and on the other hand, they are for soldiers. Pay rations or rewards!
If the size of the army on the expedition is relatively large, then the copper
money to carry will not be less, and you will have to pull many carts with a
bullock cart!
Therefore, if Tang Yuan can become a currency recognized by all places, then
the marching weight carried by the army will be much lighter after a war!
In addition to these, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Niu Jinda and
others are now shareholders of Yanhuang Bank. It is also extremely beneficial
for them to promote the "public ownership" of the bank and the "monetization"
of Tang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should not be rushed!"
Just when the remarks were downside-down, Du Ruhui stood up, arched his hand
at Li Er, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, since the Qin and Han
dynasties, copper coins have been used in all dynasties. Now if the court
rashly replaces copper coins with Tang yuan, The people will probably distrust
it.
Because the copper mine is hard to find, and it is difficult to find, there is
indeed a money shortage in Datang, but it is precisely because of the lack of
money that the food, cloth and other commonly used items of the people in
Datang can be so cheap.
This Tang Yuan is printed on paper. Naturally, it is not limited in quantity
like copper coins. This is a scourge in a cage. If printing is released one
day, the price of food and cloth in Datang will soar. The people will not be
able to eat or wear clothes! This is a sign of troubled times. I hope your
Majesty will think twice and act carefully! "
Fang Mou Du Duan refers to Fang Xuanling's savvy and good judgment, but in
terms of vision, Du Ruhui's perspective on the problem is of high and depth,
which few people in the court can match. As an ancient man, he could have
predicted that the currency oversupply would bring inflationary consequences
to Datang. This vision, even Li Zexuan couldn't help but admire it!
After Du Ruhui's words were over, many ministers in the civil servant camp
were awakened from a dream, with serious faces. Obviously, they also thought
that Du Ruhui was justified!
"Your Majesty, what Lai Gong said is that Tang Yuan and the bank must be
cautious! Moreover, although this Tang Yuan is difficult for ordinary people
to imitate, if it is imitated by a skilled craftsman, the court will probably
suffer a huge loss!"
(Du Ruhui's title is Lord Lai)
Among the ranks of civil servants, a middle-aged official wearing a blue court
dress walked out and arched his hands.
"Who is this person? Why is it so tight?"
Li Zexuan whispered in his heart.
"Well! Li Zexuan, Du Aiqing and Doctor Yan's opinions, can you agree with it?"
Li Er raised his head and asked Li Zexuan.
Doctor Yan!
Old Li probably knew that Li Zexuan didn't know the middle-aged official, so
he deliberately stated his surname and official position.
If Du Ruhui hadn’t come out to "bring the rhythm" in person, Li Er would still
be immersed in the Yanhuang Bank Development Plan written by Li Zexuan at the
moment, not to say how good the plan is, but there are many ideas in it that
are very attractive. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Lao Li would have
slapped the table and applauded!
Li Zexuan leaned slightly, and said, "Returning to your majesty, what Lai Gong
said just now, it can be said to be far-sighted, and the minister really
admires it! But the worries of Lai Gong and Doctor Yan are not without
solutions!
First of all, regarding Lai Gong’s concern that the bank’s printing of too
much Tang Yuan would cause prices to soar, you don’t have to worry at all!
Because at present, every Tang yuan printed by Yanhuang Bank has a
corresponding value of copper coin corresponding to it, so there will be no
more printing!
Secondly, after Tang Yuan completely replaces copper coins in the future, how
much money the bank will print each year will depend on how much money Datang
needs! At that time, a statistics department will be divided into the bank to
calculate the number of Tang Yuan that needs to be printed and distributed
each year. The result will be judged by His Majesty himself!
As for Dr. Yan’s question that Tang Yuan may be forged, there is no need to
worry about this. First of all, Tang Yuan’s printing uses multiple anti-
counterfeiting methods, such as paper, patterns, numbers, seals, dark
patterns, etc. They are absolutely unique; secondly, Dr. Yan said that Tang
Yuan might be copied, but is it possible that copper coins could be copied? "
The middle-aged civil servant stared, and said, "Who dares? The style of this
copper coin is ordered by the Supreme Emperor. If anyone in the public
imitates it at will, it is undoubtedly a dead end!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Yes! But has Dr. Yan ever thought that after Tang
Yuan became a coin appointed by His Majesty, if the people copied it, it would
also be a dead end?"
"This……!"
The middle-aged civil official was startled, obviously, he had overlooked this
extremely important point.
Upon seeing this, Li Zexuan bowed his hand to Li Er, and then said: "If your
majesty decides to use Tang Yuan as a coin, the minister suggested that your
majesty design torture and severely punish those who imitate Tang Yuan! At the
same time, printing the Chu paper used by Tang Yuan must also be strictly
prohibited. People and businessmen buy and sell privately, and offenders are
equally punished!
With so many methods, Chen believes that the difficulty of imitating Tang Yuan
is definitely far greater than imitating copper coins! "
After listening, Li Er nodded, and said, "Hou Yong'an is not unreasonable, so
do all the officials still have objections?"
Du Ruhui shook his head and walked back.
Changsun Wuji finally came forward and said: "Yanhuang Bank and Tang Yuan are
definitely things that benefit the country and the people. Although they have
some flaws, they can't hide their weaknesses. The old minister thinks that
Tang Yuan promotion is imperative!"
As the head of civil servants, Changsun Wuji's words are still very difficult.
After what he said, no one in the ranks of civil servants stood up to object.
"The ministers seconded!"
Seeing this ~www.mtlnovel.com~Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of
relief. Things are developing very smoothly. Many of the lines he prepared
have not had time to say!
The overall situation is determined, Li Er raised his head and said in a deep
voice:
"Since all Aiqing has no objection, from today onwards, Yanhuang Bank will be
owned by the imperial court and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of
Households. Starting from Chang'an, all merchants, restaurants, tea houses,
Chu halls and other places where there is trading, they must not refuse to use
Tang Yuan. Pay the bill, and offenders will be severely punished! The Yanhuang
Bank is located on Zhuque Street, and Yonganhou will temporarily take charge
of all the affairs of the bank! Those who previously invested money in the
Yanhuang Bank will receive a certain percentage of the bank dividend each year
as compensation!"
