Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1121

  Chapter 1121 This is the world

  Wu Mei glanced at Adi.

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

   “Waguo sent more and more silver, and more and more silver coins. Many people collected 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 Ping’an didn’t speak.

  Li Yifu became more and more nervous.

   “There are fewer and fewer silver coins on the market today, and those people can exchange as many as they have.”

  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 get them not to hoard.”

   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 actually exceeds its own value!

  Everyone looked solemn.

  Empress Wu looked over and saw Jia Pingan smiling, quite relaxed, and asked, “What do you think, Mr. Zhao?”

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

  A lowly dog ​​slave with a strange yin and yang!

   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 lot 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 good sense 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 suddenly heard about it and 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, shame on you!

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

  Li Yifu’s eyes were more sinister, “I also ask Zhao Guogong to give advice.”

   “I can indeed advise you.”

   Pointing was meant to be polite, but Jia Ping’an confirmed his gesture of pointing 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 and ponder it. 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.

   “Coins followed, 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 that?”

  What are you doing with a bunch of useless stuff?

  Jia Pingan said: “I don’t say these things, do you understand?”

  Li Yifu was stalked.

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

  Xu Jingzong glanced at him, his schadenfreude was undisguised.

   Li Ji is getting old, he really doesn’t care much anymore.

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

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

  Jia Pingan said: “Currency must be endorsed. Gold, silver and copper are naturally endorsed. They are rare, precious, and durable, so 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 viewpoints 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 go down…”

  Dou Dexuan nodded, “Yes, if silver coins are everywhere, the value will naturally drop. Originally, the 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 future generations, which will eventually cause inflation.

  However, there is no inflation in Datang. On the contrary, 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.”

   Ping An has become more and more mature.

  Empress Wu looked at Adi with satisfaction.

   “The largest pond in the world is in the Tang Dynasty. This is the foundation.” Jia Pingan 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 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, and there must be a plan, and it cannot be smashed at the head.”

  Li Yifu felt a little uncomfortable.

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

   “Speaking of this, 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 currency!

  Everyone felt a sudden realization.

  Empress Wu suddenly came to his 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.

   “If the value itself is less, it is fine, but it must 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 credit of the country. 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 Datang’s credit. 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 can I solve it?” Li Yifu asked with a smile.

“Simple!”

“Simple???”

“Simple!!”

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

  Li Yifu laughed more and more easily.

   You sticks!

  Jia Pingan said: “Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and the currency strategy of the DPRK… 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 strategy.”

   Dou Dexuan was annoyed.

   Last time, you kid just took away a piece of the old man’s words, come back!

  Jia Pingan said silently: Dreaming!

  Dou Dexuan’s blood pressure soared instantly.

   Jia Pingan was worried that the old man would die of anger, so he hurriedly said, “Why can’t we add something to the silver coin?”

  ! !

  The queen and the prime ministers were stunned.

  ? ? ?

   Can you still do 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 lower. People in the world are not fools…why use silver coins? Once the people in the world refuse Cash register, who can end this matter?”

   Jia Pingan smiled, “Simple.”

   You still said it was simple!

  Empress Wu’s eyes became more stern, which made Shaopeng think of the door beam of the queen’s bedroom.

  Jia Pingan calmly said: “Why can’t I exchange it?”

  …

  Later the queen went to the harem.

   “How is Your Majesty today?”

   Li Zhi lay on the couch, “It’s okay.”

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

   “The matter of silver coins was mentioned today, and Ping An said…”

   Li Zhi listened quietly, his eyes closed from time to time, showing 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 cheat 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: “This matter is 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, and all comers are welcome.”

  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 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 in the Palace.

  A horse-drawn carriage leaves the palace and goes shopping in the West Market.

   “Why is the color of this silver coin darker?”

  The businessman took a bite out of habit.

  The waiter 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? Why don’t we buy it at another one.”

  Another servant said: “The money has been recognized by the central government. The account department said that it will be for ten years. After ten years, it can be exchanged for silver or copper coins.”

  The businessman said happily when he heard it: “Really? Do you have the documents?”

  The document has been pasted outside the gate of Pingkang Square in Dongxi City.

   “The court will not deceive people!”

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

  There are notices posted on the city gates, including the gates of the squares, and the squares are 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 court added 10% of the copper this time, not to deceive the common people, but to deceive the rich who hoard a large amount of silver coins.”

   “It’s great for ordinary people to have a few silver coins, and they can be replaced at any time. Those rich people have silver coins piled up like a mountain, and it’s very lively now.”

  Who said this yin and yang 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 why worry?”

   “That’s right, our family only has one silver coin. If the momentum is really wrong, I will take the silver coin to buy food immediately, to save trouble.”

  The reaction of the common people was very calm. After learning that this time it was targeting rich people, 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 Ping’an is teaching the prince.

   “Uncle, what is class antagonism?”

  Li Hongduan is sitting.

  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 ruler and minister class.”

  The boy is smart!

  Jia Pingan said with relief: “The other class is the gentry, the wealthy, 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 upper class exploits the lower class, and the upper class controls decision-making. They formulate national strategies, military, economic and commercial, and so on.”

  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 sometimes can’t help themselves.”

“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?”

   “The inferior will endure until it is too much.”

  Li Hong understood, “The upper class and the lower class confront each other, and then the country is in turmoil… This is the class opposition.”

“right.”

   Jia Pingan felt that he was poisoning the feudal dynasty.

   “Look at the former Han Dynasty. The rich and powerful were arrogant and extravagant, 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, the common people need to sacrifice 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 Longmen Clan, they raised their flags and rebelled one after another.”

  The kid got it.

   I teach children out!

   Jia Ping’an suddenly lowered his head.

  What did the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty depend on?

   It depends on the renewal of concepts.

   Without his teachings, no matter how kind Li Hong is, he would still be a traditional king. He would rule the country in the way of traditional emperors, and then enter the strange circle of history… The Tang Dynasty gradually declined.

“uncle!”

  Li Hong noticed that Jia Ping’an was full of emotion.

   “It’s okay, I’m 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 can also become the goal of your life.”

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

   “Zhao Guogong.”

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

  Dou Dexuan was criticized verbally, 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 the ordinary?”

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

  The interests of the people above 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, and raised his eyes with piercing eyes.

“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 dynasties.

“But what would happen to them if the gentry, clans, and wealthy families seized power, and the emperor was incompetent? When they make decisions, they will put the interests of the superiors first, so the people will inevitably suffer… For a long time, the people will not be able to survive, and the classes will naturally oppose each other. Immediately, the flames erupted.”

   “This is the world!”

  The young man stood there with reverence in his eyes.

   “Uncle is a great talent!”

  …

   Ask for a monthly pass, good night!
