Recently, Xue Chongxun was very silent and low-key in various public occasions such as court meetings. Today, he changed his normal behavior and was very active, of course because he was selling his money there.
Even Gao, who was sitting in the bead curtain on one side of the throne, could naturally look at Xue Chongxun more because he kept talking in the hall. It was natural for the audience to see the person talking. She was not worried that Brother Fen would suspect the two of them.
Xue Chongxun was very excited to face the ministers of the court there. He changed the grain transportation law three years ago, but with a slight change of the rules, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort by using segmented transportation.Looking back now, has Chang'an lacked any cost in the past three years?The Sanhe Law not only increased the transportation volume, but also saved the people's strength. The subjects praised the court for doing practical things for the people... The story is about human behavior, and the law is old and the law is new.Today, I will recommend the "money method" to be very beneficial to people's livelihood. I hope Your Majesty will make a decision.
Brother Fen sat there seriously, occasionally nodding slightly, as if he was listening very seriously. Only he knew whether he was distracted or not.
However, Xue Chongxun didn't care, because he was asking the emperor for advice, but in fact he said that he would listen to the prime ministers present. If they agreed, the matter could be done and there was no need to worry about Brother Fen at all.
Xue Chongxun continued: Think about this kind of thing. If a scholar wants to travel around the world and gain knowledge after reading the scriptures, he will take several years to leave the house, and it will be extremely inconvenient to bring enough money. At this time, with paper money, a piece of paper money with a consistent denomination is light and easy to carry, and a stack of paper can travel all over the world. How convenient!The monks thought about another scene. A Chang'an merchant wanted to go east to buy tea, and he had to transport a large amount of property to go there. He might encounter bandits on the way. The risk of transportation is high, and the cost is high. Therefore, Chang'an tea rice is very expensive. If there are banknotes, he would hide the money in his clothes and go east with the river. Who knew that a certain man had a large amount of commercial money?Save commercial costs. Since ancient times, the decline in the price of chai, rice and tea has been a sign of a peaceful and prosperous era. It can not only fight against the people to benefit the people, but also increase commercial taxes without complaints.Why not do it?
At this time, everyone in the temple started to whisper, buzzing and making a little noisy.Zhang Shuo turned around and smiled at Dou Huaizhen: What do you think of the method of King Jin?It's really that true when he said this.
Because everyone was talking in a low voice in private, Dou Huaizhen said in a joking tone: I don’t believe that Xue Lang has been worried about the national policy for no reason. It is probably because it is good for him, so he worked so hard.
Zhang said: Of course... But then again, it is not harmful to the governance of the country by replacing the money law of the Ministry of Revenue. It is better than asking us to help him sell official positions?
I'm afraid it's not just a matter of money?
Xiao Zhizhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, interjected and said lightly, "What I said is that the treasury expenses are used, so the money and the Ministry of Revenue's governance are tied together."In the future, we will issue a government decree to be implemented smoothly. If we lack money, the support and participation of King Jin, will it go smoothly?
Zhang said that he was haha and did not express his opinion. Dou Huaizhen suddenly said: Brother Xiao only realized when he reminded me that Xue Lang was planning Ah.
Xiao Zhizhong nodded and whispered: Xue Lang is more skillful than His Highness (Princess Taiping). In the past, we sold official positions, which caused public grievances, and was particularly criticized by scholars.Xue Lang remained calm and said better than singing, but had a lot of ambitions. He directly involved in the national finances and was not criticized by others. He was clever.But everyone has to think about it, what should I do?Do you want to follow the flow?
Several people were silent. Thinking about it deeply, it was a bit serious...
Princess Taiping's dictatorship was from the Li family. After all, Xue Chongxun is a prince of a different surname and a man.
Most people dare not go with the flow, but they will not directly oppose Xue Chongxun. Why do they have to fight against Princess Taiping's son?
It is wise to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
This is exactly what Xue Chongxun grasped.
He didn't believe that no one could see through his own situation. The husband in the court was not stupid and could see through it soon...
But there is actually no need to hide the things above the temple. Most of us use open plans and openly layout.
The difference between open conspiracy and conspiracy is: I tell you what you are going to do, but you just can’t do it.
Unexpectedly, just when Xue Chongxun was determined to win, a voice suddenly said loudly: I oppose this way of changing the money method!
Everyone was surprised. When they turned to look, they saw Li Chenghong, who had just been established as the crown prince.
Although this guy had no power in his hands and was taken to the prince's house for surveillance, he was called the prince and could participate in court discussions and study, which made it dark under the light. No one noticed the prince. He didn't expect him to make a big splash and he blatantly opposed the King of Jin.
Xue Chongxun was also stunned and looked at him calmly.
Li Chenghong nodded to Xue Chongxun with a graceful manner and said: King of Jin, I only talk about official business, and I do not have any objections to your character.
Xue Chongxun opened his mouth and smiled faintly, asking the prince to say clearly, what's wrong with me suggesting the reform of the money method?
Li Chenghong looked calm, but there was a hint of coldness at the corners of his eyes. He looked back at the ministers and said: Those who govern the world are the court.What was the Tang Dynasty court? His Majesty and the Three Provinces and Six Ministrys. The power of the country should be gathered here.The King of Jin wanted to open a department of account and print and distribute paper money, and asked the treasury to use money to store paper money, which was to get involved in the national handle!In the future, will the Ministry of Revenue listen to Xianggong Xiao or King Jin?Or maybe the national finance needs to be discussed with King Jin?The joints in this must be understood!
Xue Chongxun was naturally unhappy when he was slapped in the face in public, so he replied: The prince first figured out Ah, Xue was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is there anything strange about the Minister of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue discussing government affairs?
When did King Jin become the Minister of Revenue?Li Chenghong was stunned.
A depressing laugh suddenly sounded around him. Li Chenghong felt that someone was laughing at his ignorance and his face turned red.
Xue Chongxun said: Three years ago, I was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Transportation Commissioner. Who do you think the Three Rivers Law was created?Not in recent years, the volume of canal transportation has increased, and more and more people in the capital are coming. We might have to go to Luoyang from time to time to eat... In the past, there was a formal official document appointing me as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but I have not been removed from office yet.
Finally, he couldn't help but say in an aggressive tone: The prince is not in power yet, are you in a hurry to remove our post?
The temple suddenly became silent. Xue Chongxun's words were very simple, but he said it very harshly and provocatively on such occasions.
The meaning seems to be saying: You can't wait to seize my power without even being in power. Will you be willing to let you take over this power?
Li Chenghong didn't expect that he thought he could see through Xue Chongxun's tricks with a quick mind. He didn't expect that he would be able to do this, and he would not be able to go up or down there.The prince is so angry that he thinks it is like this!
At this moment, the left prime minister Lu Xiang said lightly: The prince first entered the temple, and it is reasonable to have no deep understanding of the past and present. He did not know that the King of Jin was also an official position in the Ministry of Revenue, so he had some doubts and had no malice. The old minister thought it was understandable... However, the old minister dared to advise. The prince needed to learn and understand government affairs in his youth, and should not be impatient.
Lu Xiangxian naturally didn't want to see the situation escalate, so he came out to calm down. He said good things while saying bad things, and no one could offend him. He was such a person.
Li Chenghong was a smart master. When he heard that someone had rescued the situation, he didn't care about being reckless and hurried down the steps: What Zuo Xiang said was very...
The brief conflict gradually eased, but everyone could understand that the prince was no match at all now, and it was obvious that everyone should stand there.
Dou Huaizhen, the most boneless, reacted the fastest and immediately asked Xue Chongxun: Since the paper money mentioned by the King of Jin can be printed by the court, the people will also print it privately.There must be people who test the law with their own interests when they make huge profits. Will it cause a flood of things if they keep checking?
When he asked this, he seemed to make things difficult for Xue Chongxun, but in fact he was just talking to him.
Since a group of staff members planned the plan to issue banknotes, where did they not prepare the details?
Dou Huaizhen is worthy of being an old official. She can do everything without any leakage. She has no feeling of flattery at all, and she just flatters silently.
Xue Chongxun explained calmly: Of course, we must prevent counterfeiting from many aspects.First of all, the material is made of mulberry peel and special ingredients, to make paper, control the raw materials, and keep the formula confidential, so that it can make imitation difficult; then use printing, with a secret mark in the printing; and also encode it, and trade the old for three years. If you find that there are duplicate numbers and fake ones, you must strictly follow up.Finally, we will reward those who report and severely punish those who commit fraud to serve as a warning to others.In this way, it may not be possible to completely eliminate fraud, but it is impossible to cause the flood of counterfeit currency.
Dou Huaizhen asked again: Why are there no gold coins when Xue Langyan casts new silver coins?The price of gold is also a convenient way to measure the carrying.
Xue Chongxun smiled and said: That's because the exchange ratio between gold and silver itself is changing, and gold has a great difference in quality.One tael of silver exchange for one thousand good-colored copper coins, which will remain unchanged in the past and are easy to measure; but the exchange of gold and silver is different. When our country was founded, there was less silver, and one tael of gold was only worth four taels of silver. Now silver mining is mining, commerce is prosperous, and the exchange rate has greatly increased, which has changed with the world.Therefore, only silver coins were made, two coins were exchanged for 200 coins, and then paper money was added with large and small denominations, so that the standard measurement of coins would greatly promote the prosperity of commerce, increase the taxes of the court, and make the country rich and the people strong!
The two of them were very enthusiastic, and Dou Huaizhen picked out all the difficult questions and made things difficult, which naturally made Xue Chongxun answer them smoothly.
At this time, Lu Xiang first said a more public opinion: Since ancient times, farmers have enriched their granaries and craftsmen have built broad buildings, while merchants are seeking profits and neglect righteousness. The people who seek profits have too many people have not produced them. They are trying to consume grains and clothes, which is not a blessing for the country.
Xue Chongxun smiled. After all, the thoughts of Taoist priests and doctors are relatively narrow and do not understand the role of commerce in promoting social development.
He didn't want to argue with Lu Xiangxian about such issues. He argued with an old man about his principled understanding. Isn't it a pity?
He said lightly: The prosperity of commerce and the densely populated cities and cities are still a sign of prosperity, and the harm is not great.
Even Gao, who was sitting in the bead curtain on one side of the throne, could naturally look at Xue Chongxun more because he kept talking in the hall. It was natural for the audience to see the person talking. She was not worried that Brother Fen would suspect the two of them.
Xue Chongxun was very excited to face the ministers of the court there.
