Chapter 667 Currency Reform
Cen Wenwen smiled like a fox who stole a fat chicken, and happily let someone take away the jade pendant worth five hundred guan.In his view, the deal was worth a thousand bucks.

Li Chengqian didn't have the slightest sense of being tricked in the Prince's East Palace.There is such a beauty in front of her, with bright eyes like water and green temples like clouds.The icy muscles are like snow, and the delicate hands are fragrant.She didn't even have an Adam's apple. If it weren't for the traces of that work left in her crotch, this would be a perfectly fine woman, and an extremely beautiful woman.

"His Royal Highness, he was born in Le Tong of Taichang Temple, and was later taken into the mansion by the King of Han. His job was cut off since he was a child. So he has no Adam's apple, and he is no different from a woman." Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance, the servant's eyes widened. Laughing into a crack.Today he got [-] pennies, and he wanted to facilitate the prince and this pleasing good deed.

At first, he was not very willing. How could His Royal Highness like a rabbit if he had never seen any woman before.It can be seen that after seeing Xinxin, this doubt dissipated like ice and snow in summer.How does this guy look, he's even more feminine than a woman.

"Words go on, Uncle Han Wang's favor is lonely." Li Chengqian smiled complacently.Since grandfather Li Yuan passed away, those uncles have become much more honest.Now Li Chengqian no longer has to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail and be respectful to those uncles.

"No!" The head servant was very winking, and waved his hand, and all the people in the hall left in an instant.

"Beauty! Come and show Gu!" Li Chengqian took Xin Xin's hand and pushed it into his arms.With a cry, Xin Xin fell into Li Chengqian's arms.Even the voice was so soft and charming, Li Chengqian's heart was beating wildly.

(16 words are skipped here, don’t get my book blocked because of some people’s bad taste!)

"Teacher, do you want to report to the emperor now if the matter is done? If the emperor knows that the prince is doing this kind of thing, he will definitely be pissed off." Perhaps because he was too excited, Li Tai originally shook the glass slowly. Suddenly, the bright red wine was spun rapidly in the glass, almost spilling out.

"No! No! No! The lord is too impatient, and sooner or later pus will come out of the boil. If you squeeze the pus out too early, you will have no chance to cause the greatest harm. What we want is not a boil, but a boil that can A festering sore.

Besides, could it be said that His Highness had to talk about this kind of thing in person.Even if you sue the crown prince, what will His Majesty think of you?The name of the crown prince was determined early, and he has been the crown prince for many years.How could your subordinates be able to cut down all the tangled branches and branches? If you really brought down the prince.In the future, you will definitely not be tolerated by officials.But it cannot be tolerated by officials, and it will not be tolerated by Your Majesty in the future.Are you sure you really want to do this? "

"Uh...!" Li Tai's back was covered with cold sweat, and he hesitated to speak.

"There are many upright masters in the imperial court. What do those masters value most? It's not the etiquette, which is the foundation of Confucianism through the ages. If the crown prince does this, those masters will watch?"

"But the crown prince is in the deep palace, and the masters can't see it? This...!"

"Hehehe! In the beginning, the prince may still be secretive, but after a long time, he will not be able to cover up. Besides, it is a secret. There is no such saying, there is no impenetrable wall. This kind of thing, soon It will be semi-public. Masters will know, and they will complain to the emperor. Then the emperor will be furious, and then...it’s hard to say."

"Why?" Li Tai asked a little strangely, the prince has lost his morals to such an extent, the emperor will tolerate him?
"His Highness's disadvantage is here. His Majesty's position is not right. So he always thinks about maintaining etiquette, and wants to leave a law of succession that can be effectively implemented for future generations. Therefore, whether the crown prince can fall this time depends on whether His Majesty wants it or not." Protect him. However, His Majesty is bound to be disappointed with the prince.

As long as we keep disappointing His Majesty, we will accumulate more.His Majesty had no choice but to abolish the Crown Prince, and His Highness was the oldest among the Emperor's sons-in-law, so the position of the Crown Prince still fell on His Highness. "Cen Wenwen continued to teach students his black political ideas.

Anyway, the central idea is just one sentence, keep cheating Li Chengqian until Li Er can't stand it and abolish Li Chengqian.

Li Tai nodded, deeply agreeing!
"Pheasant slave, don't you eat at the same table at home?" Baby Yun's chubby little hands struggled to drag the wooden basin, dragging it into the bathroom.Yan Zhitui generally forbids him and Li Zhi to use servants, unless it is something that children cannot do.The old guy stubbornly believed that a life of clothes and food would ruin the lives of the two children.

"In the palace, father and emperor generally don't eat with them. Even if they eat together, each has its own table. The dishes on it will be different because of the title and status. My dishes are different from those of the prince and brother. The fourth brother is not as good as him, but he is still much better than the other brothers." Li Zhi also dragged the wooden basin, but Yan Zhitui had no choice but the two of them as apprentices now.Therefore, these two suffering brothers and sisters became natural playmates.

"When I was young, my family gathered around the same table to eat. As long as my mother is not around, it is no problem to grab the big meaty buns with my hands. If my father sees it, it will be as if he didn't see it." Yun Baobao said smugly. He thought the whole family gathered together Eating and drinking at the same table is the correct way to open a meal.

"How nice is your house?" Li Zhi's envious saliva almost slipped down, he sniffed his nose and continued to "hangchi" and "hangchi" to pull the wooden basin.

"I raised a flower bear at home, but my father called Xiaohua a panda. Anyway, no matter what the name is, Xiaohua is very obedient. Your mother went to my house, and Xiaohua was sent to another hospital. Now your mother has moved away, Xiaohua You will be picked up again. When you rest tomorrow, I will take you to see Xiaohua, you are so good!" Seeing Li Zhi's envy, Baby Yun praised his pet even more proudly.

"I used to raise rabbits in the palace, but I was snatched away by the fourth brother's hound." Li Zhi lowered his head helplessly. He had two powerful and rogue brothers, which made him oppressed in the palace.Simply, his mother is the eldest grandson of the master of the harem.Otherwise, I don't know what it's like to be bullied.Li Ke, the king of Wu who is the biggest among the concubines, is now hiding in his fief, making villains and not going out all day long.

The huge bathhouse was already filled with warm water, and the two little guys rushed in with a cheer.The splashing water is taller than their bodies, tomorrow is the day to rest and take a bath, and finally they can do what they want to do.

Baby Yun was thinking of picking up Panda Xiao Hua, but Li Zhi didn't know what to do.Anyway, he felt very comfortable when he was not in the palace. I don't know why?
The children are happy, and Yunhao is also happy.A huge building stands on the edge of the Wei River, and the roar of machinery can be heard from inside all day long.The common people have been strictly prohibited from approaching this place. The Qianniuwei who originally defended the palace were mobilized here to guard this huge building.

Yunhao saw with his own eyes that a copper plate was thrown in, and then turned into a copper coin under tremendous pressure.Then silver coins, then gold coins.

The three currencies are exactly the same, with the portrait of Li Er wearing a crown printed on the front.On the back is printed the four big characters of longevity and boundlessness, and there is a hole near the bottom.This is used for threading rope, although exchange has become common.But there will still be conservative guys who like to lug strings of coins home.

Of course, this only refers to copper coins.Gold and silver coins do not have this concern. The high value of the currency makes it unnecessary for them to punch holes.

Officially, one thousand copper coins are exchanged for one tael of silver.But this is the quotation from the government. In fact, because of the shortage of copper, the common people have no choice but to exchange it for silver at a high price.Because the currency used by the common people is copper coins, but the imperial court uses silver coins when collecting taxes.The tax collectors only care about their own convenience, but they suffer from the common people.

People who have no choice but to exchange copper coins for silver at a high price, and then use the silver to pay taxes.Every time the tax day comes, the price of silver will soar.Now on the market, there are already [-] copper coins, which can be exchanged for one tael of silver.The wealthy nobles actually don’t have to do anything every year, as long as they exchange silver into copper coins every year, and then sell the copper coins to the common people, they can make a lot of money.

Under the rectification of this bad government, the people in Chang'an City are miserable.But dare not speak out, after all, this is a shortcut for all nobles to get rich together.The annual exchange rate is the result of discussions among nobles, not the market.

The emergence of large hydraulic presses made things turn around.As soon as he saw the samples, Li Er uttered bold words.Get rid of those greedy nobles!
"In the future, the imperial court will only recognize this thing in taxation, and all the miscellaneous things on the market will be useless. From now on, the imperial court will only use these things when spending money. Unless they can build a hydraulic machine, it is absolutely impossible to create counterfeit money. "Ling Jing looked confidently at the copper coin in his hand, tears were about to fall from excitement.

This is the culmination of his painstaking efforts over the past three years. He has spent countless money on this project, and now it has finally become a reality.

"Idiot, once this matter is carried out by the Qianzhuang, you are the enemy of all the nobles. They dare not do anything to the emperor, but your family probably won't live long. You are also a person who has studied, how did Chao Cuo die? You don't know, don't you?" Yun Hao glanced at Ling Jing angrily, looking like a cynical youth despite his age.Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, don't you understand this sentence?

"My lord! The people suffer too much. They suffer from such exploitation every year. A lot of their hard work will dissipate. They are scraping the bones of the people and squeezing the oil from their bodies. In the long run, the income of the people is limited, but Their greed is limitless. Datang will be killed by them sooner or later!"

"You will be harmed by them tomorrow, and hand over the matter to the people sent by His Majesty. You quickly exit from here, the hydraulic machine has succeeded. This matter has also succeeded, and the next step is to suppress currency. Look Well, whoever your majesty sends to take over this job is because your majesty is already tired of this guy and wants to find an opportunity to deal with him." Yun Hao patted Ling Jing on the shoulder, another guy who wanted to dedicate himself to his family and country.

Sure enough, Lai Yunhao knew whoever came to pick peaches.The emperor does not intend to let this person live for more than three years, Yu Zhining!People from the Prince's East Palace, because they have washed horses for the Prince.He even walks with the wind, and he looks like he doesn't answer when he sees others.After coming to the academy for less than two days, it has already reached the point where strangers and acquaintances are not close.

With Yunhao's help, Yu Zhining quickly grasped all the rights of the mint.Even Ling Jing, who was supposed to be the deputy, was directly kicked out by Yun Hao.Soon, the Mint became Yu Zhining's world, or Li Chengqian's world.

In order to thank Yunhao for his cooperative attitude, Li Chengqian even came to the door in person to express his gratitude to Yunhao.Yun Hao modestly claimed that all of this is what he should do.Ling Jing who was next to him was dumbfounded, and insisted on using the chopsticks as chicken feet and gnawed on one and a half chicken feet.

Everyone is happy, Li Chengqian got what he wanted.Yunhao got what he wanted, and everything was so harmonious and perfect.Just wait for Li Er to announce the day of currency reform in the world.

Li Er is very good at choosing the time. He chose the day of the Grand Ceremony on Yuan Day to explain this matter to all the nobles.In the future, all coins will be invalidated, and only coins issued by the imperial court can be circulated, otherwise it will be illegal.

The huge amount of property has been reduced a lot at once, which makes the nobles feel miserable.Inside the Tai Chi Hall, the sound of crying can be described as shaking the sky.The day has come for officials to live without a living. There are those who cry, those who beg, and those who give credit.

Li Er looked at his courtiers coldly, no matter they were ordinary people fighting on the battlefield.He is still a great Confucian who has been in the court, and his own interests are related to his mother's virtue.The difference is that the great Confucians scolded in a subtle way.Those who are not knowledgeable enough think it is a compliment.Only after I read the book at home did I realize that eighteen generations of my ancestors have been scolded all over the place.

The military generals are much rougher, and many of them are ready to bump their heads against the pillars without knives around them.Anyway, life can't go on, it's better to die.

Li Er and the others didn't dare to scold, so Yu Zhining, the head of the foundry department who had only been in office for only three months, was sprayed like a sieve.If Ling Jing was here, he would be very grateful that Yun Hao kicked him out of the foundry company he worked so hard to build.

Yun Hao became very playful, picked up the grape wine and shook it while using it as a telescope.Through the grapes in the glass, the world suddenly turned blood red.The blurred faces of those ministers seemed to be more sinister.

Yun Hao didn't put down the grape wine until he saw Li Er's face in the glass.

Li Er's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he didn't expect his subordinates to be so greedy.Regardless of the livelihood of the country and the people, they only care about their own self-interest.Perhaps greed is an indelible aspect of human nature.They must be punished, otherwise God knows what they will do, who will this official minister use?Yunhao?
