Great Tang Broom Star

Wu Mei glanced at brother.

Since she took over the government, Jia Pingan has done nothing except stay at the Ministry of War for the first few days.

"The Japanese sent more and more silver, and more and more silver coins. Many people kept the silver coins instead of using them, especially those... rich and powerful."

Li Yifu's tone was less unscrupulous, and he even glanced at Jia Pingan after he finished speaking.

Jia Pingan didn't speak.

Li Yifu became more and more nervous.

"Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer silver coins on the market, and as many people as there are can exchange them."

Li Yifu felt that this was an unsolvable problem.

Dou Dexuan said, "Yinshan has just delivered a batch of silver, ready to mint coins at any time."

Li Yifu seems to have studied the issue of currency, "Those families originally used cloth, copper coins, and even spices as their money reserves. Cloth will rot, and there are too many copper coins, not to mention spices...Silver coins can be preserved for many years, and they are the most popular among these families. .It's hard to keep them from hoarding..."

Li Ji asked: "I remember that silver coins are mixed with a lot of things. Every time a silver coin is minted, there will be income for the account. Those people will naturally lose money by hoarding silver coins. Why are they still willing?"

Dou Dexuan said: "There will be losses, but the silver coins are quite beautifully made, and they have been appreciating..."

I go!

The value of the silver coin has exceeded its own value!

Everyone looked solemn.

Empress Wu looked over and saw Jia Pingan smiling, quite relaxed, so she asked, "What do Duke Zhao think?"

Li Yifu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao seems to have a plan in mind!"

Crazy cheap dog slave!

Xu Jingzong is ready to spray.

"Of course." Jia Pingan said, "It's just a trivial matter, but Li Xiang seems quite puzzled?"

Li Yifu smiled and said: "The old man is quite puzzled, does Zhao Guogong know?"

Not to mention the rich and powerful, Li Yifu's family has hoarded a large amount of silver coins, waiting to pass them on to their descendants.

He is a referee on one side and an athlete on the other, and he has a very accurate grasp of the mentality of both sides. He thought about this situation for a long time, but he couldn't think of a solution.

Jia Ping'an has been extremely lazy recently, and when he heard about it, he suddenly said it was a trivial matter...

hehe!

You can brag in front of the queen, but the old man is here, just waiting to refute it, and it will be shameful!

He touched his cheek subconsciously, there was still a dull pain there.

Li Yifu's eyes became more sinister, "I also ask Mr. Zhao Guogong to give advice."

"I can indeed advise you."

Advice was originally a polite remark, but Jia Ping'an confirmed his gesture of instructing Li Yifu.

Li Yifu's eyeballs were reddish.

Li Ji sighed slightly, knowing that Li Yifu would definitely break up every word Jia Pingan said to ponder, and once he found a loophole, the attack would come instantly.

The queen is in power, and my younger brother is ashamed of the court.

Jia Pingan said: "Why can coins be valuable? In the earliest days, the ancestors had a hard time, and they traded by barter. You take a chicken for one of my clay pots, and you use a clay pot for a bag of grain. It was the earliest form of trade."

Huh!

Empress Wu nodded slightly, feeling that these words were refreshing.

Li Yifu smiled slightly, thinking that no matter how far you go, it is useless, and in the end you have to return to the current predicament of Datang Yincoin.

"Then came coins, first shell coins, then copper coins..."

A queen and six prime ministers were listening to Jia Pingan popularizing the history of coins, and they were quite fascinated.

"Why can coins buy goods? This is about value. The earliest barter is the embodiment of value. A pottery pot and a chicken are equivalent in the eyes of people at that time, so they can be exchanged. Some people will ask, Why is gold, silver and copper valuable? Can you buy goods? Because gold, silver and copper are scarce."

Jia Pingan talked eloquently, "Gold, silver and copper have a characteristic, that is, they can be preserved for a long time. Rare gold, silver and copper are easy to preserve. This is a natural currency."

Li Yifu suddenly interrupted him, "What do you mean by this?"

What are you doing with a bunch of useless stuff?

Jia Pingan said: "I don't say this,

Do you understand? "

Li Yifu was stalked.

He wants to say that the old man understands, but he knows Jia Ping'an's peeing nature. Once he really understands, Jia Pingan will use a series of questions to clean him up.

Xu Jingzong glanced at him, and he didn't hide his schadenfreude.

Li Ji is old and really doesn't care much anymore.

The remaining five prime ministers have different ideas, but their positions are quite firm.

Standing is one thing, but when things go wrong, they often stick to their own opinions, which makes Wu Mei miss the time when the prime ministers were all loyal dogs.

Jia Pingan said: "Currency must be endorsed. Gold, silver and copper are naturally endorsed. They are rare, precious, and durable. Therefore, people all over the world agree with the value of the three."

These words are brilliant.

Even Liu Rengui nodded in agreement frequently.

"Copper coins appear as currency... Is the value of a coin itself really worth a coin of goods? I don't think it is necessarily true. Many times the value of goods exceeds this coin."

Jia Pingan looked at the prime ministers, "Everyone knows that exchanging goods for this piece of copper is a loss, but why are you willing to exchange it? Because it is credit!"

Everyone was startled.

"Credit?"

Dou Dexuan felt that certain views were flashing rapidly.

"Yes, credit." Jia Pingan said: "This involves knowledge in many fields, such as the number of coins issued and the equivalence of economic scale. If you issue too many copper coins, prices will rise. At this moment, copper coins credit will drop..."

Dou Dexuan nodded, "Yes, if silver coins are everywhere, the value will naturally drop. Originally, goods that can be bought with one silver coin now cost two silver coins. This is an increase in prices."

This is inflation.

"So the number of coins issued is closely related to credit."

Everyone knows the consequences of excessive currency issuance in later generations, which will eventually cause inflation.

However, there is no inflation in Datang. Instead, because the money supply is too small, it has caused austerity.

"Well said." Empress Wu understood.

"How to maintain credit? This issue is very complicated and involves all aspects, but the most basic two points, first, the country is strong, the economy, that is, the business is developed, this is the pool for currency injection, the bigger the pool, the currency can be injected more."

Sure enough, Ping An has become more and more mature.

Empress Wu looked at Brother with relief.

"The largest pond in the world is in the Tang Dynasty. This is the foundation." Jia Ping'an must teach such a lesson to the monarchs and ministers, otherwise, if the monetary policy is messed up, it will lead to the collapse of the people's livelihood and the economy.

"The second is the currency strategy of the DPRK." Jia Pingan slightly nodded at Dou Dexuan, indicating that he did not intend to offend his authority. "The timing and amount of currency injection are very particular. There must be a plan, and you can't smash it on the head."

Li Yifu felt a little uncomfortable.

Are you mocking the old man for not understanding this and only slapping his head?

"Speaking of which, everyone should understand that credit is the foundation of money. With credit, copper worth half a penny can be put on the market at the value of a penny."

This is the essence of money!

Everyone felt a little suddenly enlightened.

Empress Wu suddenly came to her senses, "So, this half a penny is the benefit of the court. What if it is less?"

The prime ministers all had brilliant eyes, and Jia Pingan thought it was greed.

"It's fine if it's worth less, but it has to be combined with credit. One is the power of the country, and the other is the currency strategy in the dynasty. If one of them collapses, the currency will also collapse."

The future generations are all banknotes, that piece of paper is worthless, but it represents the national credit. Behind the national credit is the embodiment of the country's strength. The currency of a strong country is stable, but the currency of a weak country is volatile, and there will be chaos when a breeze blows.

Empress Wu nodded, "Although the silver coins themselves are not worth much, they are popular all over the world because of the credit of the Tang Dynasty. This is also the reason why those people are willing to hoard silver coins."

Jia Pingan glanced at Li Yifu, "Does Li Xiang understand?"

Li Yifu: "..."

"How to solve it?" Li Yifu asked with a smile.

"Simple!"

"Simple???"

"Simple!!!"

Even Empress Wu had phoenix eyes and was ready to go back and deal with him.

Li Yifu smiled more and more easily.

You bunch of sticks!

Jia Pingan said: "Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, the currency strategy of the court... It is wrong to say that there is a shortage of currency, and you can invest as much as you have. It can be said that there is no need for strategy."

Dou Dexuan was annoyed.

Last time you kid just took away a piece of writing from the old man, come back!

Jia Pingan said silently: Dreaming!

Dou Dexuan's blood pressure soared instantly.

Jia Pingan was worried that the old man would be pissed off, so he said quickly, "Why can't we add something to the silver coin?"

! ! !

The queen and the prime ministers were all stunned.

? ? ?

Can it still be like this?

Li Yifu's eyes were slightly excited, "I don't agree with Zhao Guogong's words. If you add sundries to the silver coins, the value of the silver coins will be even lower. People in the world are not fools...why use silver coins? Once the people in the world Refuse to accept silver coins, who can end this matter?"

Jia Pingan smiled, "Simple."

You still said it was simple!

Empress Wu's eyes became more stern, which made Shao Peng think of the door beam of the queen's bedroom.

Jia Pingan calmly said: "Why can't it be exchanged?"

...

Later the queen went to the harem.

"How is Your Majesty today?"

Li Zhi lay on the couch, "It's okay."

She said it was okay, but looking at that pale face, Wu Mei knew that the emperor's condition was still not optimistic.

"I mentioned the matter of silver coins today, Ping An said..."

Li Zhi listened quietly, his eyes closed from time to time, revealing pain.

Wu Mei said it several times in a row before Li Zhi accepted the message.

He took a breath, "The front is majestic, but the back is still his temper, cheating!"

Wu Mei smiled and said, "Ping'an doesn't lie to his own people."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Let's do this."

...

"The batch of silver entered the household department, and then entered the workshop, saying that it was ready to mint coins." Cui Chen smiled and said: "Everyone, it's time to prepare."

Lu Shunzai said with a smile: "It's quite simple. Send out silver coins, take back the goods, or distribute officials' salaries... The only thing we can do is exchange the goods for silver coins."

Wang Sheng asked, "How much are you going to change at home?"

Lu Shunzai said: "Silver coins are exquisite and can be hoarded for a long time. Naturally, they can be exchanged for as much as they can. Anyone who comes will not be rejected."

Cui Chen said: "Our family has existed for many years, and the most important thing is money and food. We don't lack food, but what we lack is reliable money. It's just right."

Wang Sheng said: "It's not just my family, but the wealthy people in the world, wealthy families, businessmen, dignitaries, these people will hoard silver coins, thanks to Jia Ping'an."

"Why?" Someone asked.

Lu Shunzai said with a smile: "Back then, Jia Ping'an insisted on crossing the sea to attack the Japanese country, which brought us mountains of silver. But most of the silver mined from these mountains of silver went into the homes of rich people. In the end, he made a wedding dress for us, shouldn’t we thank him?”

"Ha ha ha ha!"

...

Silver coins came out.

The first one to use is the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A carriage left the palace and went shopping in the West Market.

"Why is the color of this silver coin darker?"

The businessman took a bite habitually.

The servant said: "From this batch onwards, there will be 10% more copper in the silver coins."

The businessman was stunned, "This...isn't this even worse?"

The waiter said impatiently: "Do you want it? Don't let us buy it at another one."

Another servant said: "This money is recognized in the court. The account department said that it will be for ten years. After ten years, it can be exchanged for silver or copper coins."

When the businessman heard it, he said happily, "Really? Do you have the documents?"

The documents have been pasted outside the gates of Dongxishi and Pingkangfang.

"Do not deceive people in the court!"

Those merchants and customers were all there, and a small official was shouting at the top of his lungs.

Notices were posted at the city gates, including the gates of the workshops, and the workshops were leading people to promote it.

"Why do you add 10% copper? It's because some people like to hoard silver coins. The Ministry of Finance finally got silver to mint coins, but those rich people, those wealthy families, wiped out all the silver coins on the market and hid them in their own houses. In the cellar, what about us?"

Jiang Rong said angrily: "We still have to use cloth to buy things, we still have to hoard cloth as savings, who wants to?"

Zhao Xianhui shouted: "The cloth will slowly rot and become old! At that time, it will be worthless. Originally, a few silver coins in the house would be enough, so you don't have to worry about it, but those cheap dog slaves eat it up and don't give it to us." Live!"

Jiang Rong nodded, "So the addition of 10% copper this time is not to deceive the common people, but to deceive the rich who hoard a large amount of silver coins."

"It's great for us ordinary people to have a few silver coins, which can be exchanged at any time. Those rich people have a mountain of silver coins in their homes, and it's very lively now."

Who said this weird thing?

Jiang Rong took a look and saw a boy turn around.

Wang Bo changed his place and continued: "The court also said that the period of ten years will be ten years. After ten years, these silver coins can be exchanged for silver and copper coins, whatever you want."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"That's right, our family only has one silver coin. If things go wrong, I'll take the silver coin to buy food right away, to save trouble."

The reaction of the common people was very calm. After learning that the target was for the rich, they were even gloating.

...

"The rich, the powerful and the common people are getting farther and farther away. This is the class. Once the classes are opposed, the country will be in danger."

Jia Pingan is teaching the prince.

"Uncle, what is class antagonism?"

Li Hongduan sat down.

Jia Pingan said: "For example, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are a class. What are they closely surrounded by? They are dignitaries, relatives, and high-ranking officials."

Li Hong nodded, "It's the monarch and minister class."

The boy is smart!

Jia Pingan said with relief: "The other class is the gentry, the rich, and then there are farmers, craftsmen, sergeants...etc. We can generally divide them into two classes, the upper class and the lower class."

"Class opposition means that the superiors exploit the inferiors, and the superiors control the decision-making, they formulate national strategies, military, economic and commercial, etc."

Li Hong said: "If the emperor thinks of the people..."

"This is just one of them, it depends on other forces."

Li Hong understood, "Emperors can't help themselves sometimes."

"Yes." Jia Pingan said: "When the superiors in the cloud only think about their own interests, make decisions that are only good for the superiors, and even keep exploiting the inferiors to satisfy their extravagant lives, the inferiors What about people?"

"Inferior people will endure until they can't bear it anymore."

Li Hong understood, "The upper class is opposed to the lower class, and then the country is in jeopardy... This is class antagonism."

"right."

Jia Ping felt that he was poisoning the feudal dynasty.

"Look at the former Han Dynasty. The rich and powerful were extravagant and dissipated, but where did the money come from? From the people's bodies. Where did those tall towers come from? From the blood and sweat of the people..."

Zeng Xianglin felt uncomfortable all over, always feeling that Master Jia's words were not quite right.

"In order for the superiors to enjoy these things, the common people need to donate their children as their servants, as a tool for them to vent. They have to be confiscated to build pavilions for the superiors. How did the former Sui Dynasty fall?"

Is that so?

Li Hong said excitedly: "Emperor Yang did not spare the power of the people, and frequently recruited a large number of civilians to build canals and build the Eastern Capital... No matter how good or bad his intentions are, the mere fact that he did not spare the power of the people caused class antagonism, and then the people couldn't bear it. Bewitched by the Guanlong Clan, they raised their flags and rebelled one after another."

The kid got it.

The child I taught!

Jia Pingan suddenly lowered his head.

What does the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty depend on?

It depends on the renewal of concepts.

Without his teaching, no matter how benevolent Li Hong is, he would still be a traditional king. He would rule the country according to the methods of traditional emperors, and then enter the strange circle of history... The Tang Dynasty gradually declined.

"uncle!"

Li Hong found that Jia Ping'an was full of emotion.

"It's okay, I got a little angry."

Jia Pingan said: "There is no immortal dynasty in the world, but what can we do? Try to continue this prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and make this prosperous age last longer and more prosperous... This is the career I have pursued all my life. I hope this will also It can be your lifelong goal.”

Li Hong got up and cupped his hands, "I would like to be taught!"

"Mr. Zhao."

A servant came, "President Dou is in the household department, please meet me."

Dou Dexuan was condemned verbally and in writing, right?

After Jia Ping'an left, Zeng Xianglin said suddenly: "Your Highness, I feel that... I feel that Zhao Guogong's words are a little out of order?"

Li Hong sat there contemplating, and heard the words and said: "You wait for the so-called apostasy, that scripture, that way, is not the world, but the upper class. Going against the interests of the upper class is deviant? This is what my uncle said. The cycle of rise and fall.

The interests of the superiors are orthodox, and the interests of the common people are trampled on, which will inevitably lead to class antagonism. Once the classes are opposed, the country is not far from decline. If we don't get out of this vicious circle, how can we talk about longevity? "

He stretched out his hand, and Zeng Xianglin and others hurriedly fell silent.

Li Hong pondered for a long time, raised his eyes, his eyes were piercing.

"Why do dynasties always prosper at the beginning and then decline? Look at the Tang Dynasty. The first emperor made national policies and took into account the interests of the people, so there was the rule of Zhenguan. When it came to Aye, it was still taking care of the people, so what did those people say? The rule of Yonghui..."

Li Hong felt that he had glimpsed the law of the rise and fall of the dynasty.

"But what would happen to them if the gentry, clans, and powerful clans seized power, and the emperor was incapacitated? When they make decisions, they will put the interests of the superiors first, so the people will inevitably suffer... As time goes by, the people will not be able to survive, and the classes will naturally oppose each other. , and immediately the flames of war broke out."

"This is the world!"

The young man stood there, with reverence in his eyes.

"Uncle is a great talent!"
