Chapter 400: Money House is to rush to redirect

Wu Yu, who was busy buying silk at a low price, was stunned when he looked at the notice posted by the Datang Money House.

For the exchange of silk, the money house gave only 80% of the original value. Now, a piece of silk that was once worth 200 cigarettes can only be exchanged directly at the money house for 160 cigarettes.

If you want not to depreciate, you must save it for five years at one time. If the five years are not over, it will become 80% of the value as long as you propose it.

Wu Feng was no longer at ease to care about the matter of the blue sea and silver sand. He hurriedly found Wu Yu and the two began to study it.

"Brother, is Zhang Xiaobao sick? Silk has always been used as currency. He suddenly reduced the value of silk. So many people with silk can do it? This is equivalent to directly letting people with silk lose 20% of the money, how much profit can the commodity be?"

Wu Yu now knows a lot of things. With a little analysis, you can know the disadvantages of the money house. If you do it according to the money house’s notice, the Tang Dynasty will easily become chaotic.

Wu Feng nodded to show his understanding, blinked a few times, and suddenly said happily: "Maybe Zhang Xiaobao no longer considers the lives of the people, so he can cause trouble for him. Now no one can protect him, even the emperor will not do it."

"Yes, let the Empress go and cause trouble for him. Oh, I'm still using the money to reduce the price and collect silk. Ninety percent of the price is not good, and the cash is gone."

When Wu Yu was happy, he suddenly remembered a very serious problem. The money he had finally raised was still collecting silk. Now the money shop has to use 80% of the price to collect it. Wouldn't his money be gone in the blink of an eye?

Knowing the notice from the Tang Dynasty Money House, Wu Huifei was happy. The opportunity was right in front of her, and she was within reach. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have always been careful, but there has been a loophole.

Didn’t you always say that what you did is for the people? How should you explain the money house’s price reduction and collecting silk?

Soon, Concubine Wu Hui found her minister and was preparing to impeach Zhang Xiaobao, and impeach him for the crime of disrupting the Tang Dynasty's economy and destroying the country's foundation. Once the impeachment is successful, even if Zhang Xiaobao does not die, he will fall into a skin.

Concubine Wu Hui almost coincided with Zhang Shuo, who was also waiting for an opportunity. She discussed it privately and decided to launch an attack on the morning court the next day.

"Empress, it's not good, something big happened, the Tang Dynasty money house has a problem." Xiao Zhu, who had just received the news, found Queen Wang panting, and his chest kept rising and falling to Queen Wang, intermittently speaking.

After hearing Xiao Zhu's words, Queen Wang could no longer remain calm, her face changed, and she said, "How could Xiaobao come up with such an idea? She wants to push herself into the fire pit? Could someone be framed by Xiaobao? Hurry, go find Gao Lishi."

When many people were happy or anxious, Li Longji was playing chess with Gao Lishi very calmly. Seeing that Gao Lishi had only the ability to resist and had no strength to fight back, Li Longji gently twisted a piece with his hand and said, "From this autumn harvest, it will be no more difficult for the people to dress."

Gao Lishi tried hard to think about the chess game and had to deal with Li Longji's words. He frowned and put Heizi casually in a place, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied: "Your Majesty's words are not bad. I guess many people will impeach Xiaobao tomorrow morning. Your Majesty should release the news soon."

"No hurry, Xiaobao said in his heart that he must wait until the ministers are impeached before he can take action. It will be too early for someone to deliberately oppose it. This step was difficult to go, but with the notice from the money house, it went smoothly."

Li Longji left a son and continued to force Gao Lishi's defense, saying with ease.

During the morning court the next day, as Gao Lishi and Li Longji guessed, the people from the Censorate and the people from the Secretariat impeached Zhang Xiaobao at the same time.

Some say that Zhang Xiaobao should not continue to manage the money house, some say that he wants to harm the country and the people, and some say that he wants to shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, no one was talking to Zhang Xiaobao. Li Longji sat on it, watching the ministers on the steps on both sides either remain silent, or communicated quietly with the people around him, or impeached Zhang Xiaobao with the Censorate and the Secretariat. His face was always calm.

It was not until some people said they were tired and some had their legs numb, and everyone realized that the emperor seemed to have problems with his attitude.

He had not spoken out and was about to wait for what others said. The emperor began to get angry and then stood up to list the charges for Zhang Xiaobao and gave up his heart.

After thinking about it, he finally stood up and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, does Zhang Xiaobao, the deacon of the Tang Dynasty Money House, have other means not used? Currency is a major issue of people's livelihood, and it must be investigated."

As soon as Zhang said what he said, the people from the Censorate and the people from the Secretariat began to look at each other. What does it mean? Didn’t we agree that we would impeach Zhang Xiaobao together? Why did we start to change our minds in the head?

Li Longji was waiting for someone to ask, otherwise how to show his ability, nodded and signaled Zhang to retreat, and then opened his mouth.

"What does it have to do with the monetary economy of the Tang Dynasty's money house? I don't allow silk to be used as money. It's okay if you don't save money houses. The transaction is still there. Could it be that the money house posted a notice saying that 10% of the price will be collected, and some people are rushing to save it in?"

After hearing this, the ministers felt it made sense, but why does this truth feel untenable? What went wrong?

That's right, the money house collects silk at a low price, so it's not enough to save it. No one forces anyone to save it, but things should never be that simple, eh? What's going on?

Zhang Shuo didn't react for a while and was stunned.

At this time, Li Linfu, who returned to the court, stood up and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, one thing is that the money house is famous in the Tang Dynasty. The people know everything about the money house. Most of the money house's wealth belongs to the court. The money house's advice has been issued on behalf of the court. The people do not know the holy words, but only for His Majesty to make a decision.

Second, transactions are divided into four or six coins of silk. The money house is to save far and near. However, the price of silk is low, can there be silk in the market be stored? If the silk does not exist, how can it be bought or sold? Then it is cheap, and the coins left the market will only become goods, and the people may be in chaos."

When other people who wanted to impeach Zhang Xiaobao heard this, they suddenly realized that the name of the money house was Datang. Everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty money house was under the jurisdiction of the court. Isn’t the money house’s notice the emperor meant? How can it be separated?

If you don’t deposit silk in the money house, then those who have silk will have their money left. They only deposit money here and then get it where they need it. It has always been 40% of the silk and 60% of the money. If the silk is left, how can you trade with others? No one wants silk anymore, the price will be even cheaper.

It is estimated that it will take not long to use silk as currency, but will become ordinary cloth to buy and sell, and the people will be in chaos if they are not properly damaged.

Finally, the problem was found, and the people who wanted to impeach Zhang Xiaobao began to try again.

Li Longji, who had originally fooled all the ministers, didn't care about it when he saw a smart person coming out. He followed Li Linfu's words: "What you said is so true, I know that, so I want to collect silk to fill the treasury for five years. The difference between the money house is that I give money, and I will make a profit of one cent per month and return it for five years. Do you agree?"

"Your Majesty wants to borrow money from Yumin?" Zhang said, asking again.

"No, I am using money to the people. Now the national treasury is full. I will wait for more in five years to pay back the money to the people, and hide the rich from the people. The people are rich and the people are healthy, and the country is strong."

Li Longji said that he would not admit that he wanted to borrow treasury bonds and would sell the collected silk to neighboring countries to exchange for other people's good resources, and cancel the silk as currency.

Zhang said that he thought it was true. The treasury is not short of money now, so there is no need to cheat the people of money, but there is a problem with this, so he said: "Your Majesty, every month is one cent per month, at least one-two percent, or one-three percent a year, and at least sixty percent a year is the profit of 60 percent in five years. Can the treasury have so much money to get?"

"Making money with money is not always placed in the treasury. You can buy goods from neighboring countries, as long as you earn more than you give in five years."

Li Longji explained this issue. In fact, he still didn't say anything, that is, the currency will gradually depreciate. The more productive the development, the higher the price of luxury goods, and the price of currency will float, and the big trend is depreciation.

As goods increase, people's income will also increase, and the depreciated currency value can be balanced, but this treasury bond is really taking advantage.

Especially the Xinyuan Island, the island is not small. From Zhang Xiaobao and the merchants who have been to, they learned that there are many good things there, but the local people are very poor in daily necessities, especially clothes and beds for sleeping. The heads of local tribes can send a hundred people to do a month of work for a beautiful piece of clothing. How can this good thing happen in the Tang Dynasty?

Listening to Li Longji's words, the person who impeached Zhang Xiaobao just now was speechless. Zhang said he was a little unwilling to continue to fight for the emperor to punish Zhang Xiaobao, Li Longji spoke again.

"The printing of paper money cannot be placed in Jili State, and it needs to be moved to the capital. Who should I take care of it?"

Print money?

The two words suddenly popped up in my mind were not just the people who impeached Zhang Xiaobao, but everyone was all focused.

Everyone wanted to take over, but Zhang Xiaobao was selectively forgotten, and even Zhang Shuo had no intention to continue to focus on Zhang Xiaobao.

After a lot of competition, a balance was finally reached when the court was about to go to court. The Secretariat led the leadership of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War sent people to guard, the Ministry of Justice formulated punishment, the Ministry of Rites pondered the patterns that were in accordance with etiquette when improving in the future, the Ministry of Works provided equipment, and the Ministry of Personnel arranged official positions.

When everyone was waiting for their next court to return to their department, they found that no one had any advantage and were in charge of each other. It was impossible to send some private money from them.

Soon, the court's notice was reported to the government officials in various places in an emergency and asked to post it.

It stipulates a time, four months, and only four months will be used to collect silk. If four months pass, it will not collect silk, and urge people to clean up the silk in their hands as quickly as possible.

Wu Yu was stupid again.
