Li Yuanxing had a slight headache. When he was reading history books, Li Yuanxing had already learned from the books that in many ancient times, soldiers were as lowly as slaves.

Sometimes, it is not the fault of the soldiers, but the social environment at that time.

Just imagine, who would be born a villain?

So, where is the root cause?

But the locust plague must be cured. Li Yuanxing gently knocked on the table and said to Yuanchun: "Go back to the study and transfer information from Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Henan Road, and Jingxi Province."

After Li Yuanxing said that, he walked straight to the study.

Yuanchun went to call for information, and Li Liyuan took her two maids and rushed to Li Yuanxing's study after hearing the news. Her two maids were not as secretaries as secretaries, but it was still possible to organize the information, after all, they knew the words.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was already a very amazing skill to know words.

You should know that the Tang Dynasty's literacy rate was less than one percent.

Li Yuanxing picked up a stolen item and opened it. It was a small county in the southeast of Hedong Road, and its name was very unfamiliar. Li Liyuan said next to him: "Your Highness, Liyuan is here to get the map." Li Liyuan opened the map and found the location of that county as soon as possible.

Judging from the map, it should be the location of Yuncheng, Shanxi, north of Weinan in later generations.

"Yeah!" Li Yuanxing nodded and signaled that he knew.

Look at the information, it says that there are 1,700 households with 3,100 mu of paddy fields and 6,600 mu of dry land. Apart from agriculture, there is no other handicrafts, and there is no special specialty. There are not many past merchants.

I checked it again on the map. The merchants from Hebei Road would cross the Yellow River in Fengling, or go directly to Luoyang, or come to Chang'an via Huazhou. They would not need to go to this county again, because there was no good area to cross the Yellow River there. If they detoured through Yaozhou, they would not need to pass through this county.

"The tax revenue per year is only 4,000 dou of grain!"

Seeing this number, Li Yuanxing felt a chill. Calculated by a dou of ten cents, this is only 40,000 cents, or forty cents.

What is enough forty stagnant money?

It is the Xiuhe soldiers who did not eat or drink in the county all year round, and the 4,000 dou of food were not enough for a few days to do their work.

Poor! It seems that the rejection of these prefectures and counties is not completely unreasonable.

"Send someone to the Ministry of Revenue. I have to see the tax revenue situation of these three prefectures and counties in previous years." Li Yuanxing said, writing a document himself. Not everyone is qualified to check such information. Li Yuanxing also needs to write down a formal document for filing, and then send it to the corresponding minor official of the Ministry of Revenue and take it back after Li Yuanxing checks it.

Transcription is absolutely not allowed.

Li Yuanxing's writing was half written and revised.

"Forget it, tell them to be prepared. I will go to Chang'an tomorrow to check it out."

Yuanchun took Li Yuanxing's document and went out to send someone to deliver the letter.

"First sort out all these information. I will check the information from the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow before considering it."

Li Yuanxing is a man, not a god, he has experience and knowledge from later generations.

But the Tang Dynasty was a huge country and an empire that was in vain. Li Yuanxing also thought that he was too impatient. It seemed that he needed to calm down and start over from a different perspective.

After Li Liyuan's two maids sorted out the information from Sandao Prefectures and County on the shelf, Li Yuanxing took out a very beautiful one from under his desk, with a password box with an aluminum alloy shell.

"Sterling silver box, Your Highness, this one is so beautiful!"

"This is not silver, this is called aluminum, it is a good thing, but the Tang Dynasty cannot extract it yet. Remember, the box is just used to hold things, and the precious thing is always the things in the box!" Li Yuanxing said to Li Liyuan with a smile.

Li Liyuan nodded vigorously: "Your Highness, Liyuan knows that there is an allusion to buy a box and return a bead in ancient times!"

Li Yuanxing did not answer again, but opened the box in front of him and the sample of commemorative coins contained in it. Of course, for modern people, this is the commemorative coins of TV series. It can be placed in the Tang Dynasty, which is the real currency.

Li Yuanxing's hands are divided into three types of coins: gold, silver and copper.

It is definitely not 100% purity, and it has more or less alloy components.

There are two types of copper coins, one is the standard one-coin copper coins, and an old farmer printed on the front is actually a portrait of Lao Li's head, and the back is a character held with wheat ears. The other is a five-coin copper coins, using a portrait of a sergeant, and the one selected by Li Er's personal guard and the portrait of the imperial guard.

There are three types of silver coins, one is one silver coins, which is equivalent to one hundred textiles of copper coins. The front is Changsun Wuji's avatar.

Five coins and silver coins are equivalent to five hundred textiles of copper coins, and the front is Li Jing's avatar.

One or two silver coins are used on the front of Wu Zhao’s avatar.

Holding the silver coins with Wu Zhao's avatar printed on it, Li Yuanxing was still thinking about how to talk about Wu Zhao's avatar. After all, he didn't even print the avatar on the coins. Now he has printed Wu Zhao and is a woman. This matter is probably going to be a mess.

Li Liyuan said at this time: "Your Highness, Liyuan understands it."

"What do you understand?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

Li Liyuan cushions with silk, picked up a five-cent copper coin and said, "Your Highness, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is one for farmers and two for army. This is also Your Highness's theory. There are farmers and fields, and the people's food and clothing. There are army and generals. The Tang Dynasty received the tribute from all nations, and no foreign tribes are rude to our Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, that's a good thing!" Li Yuanxing praised loudly.

When it comes to ideas, Li Yuanxing initially thought that the lowest level of money was used for the farmers and the army, but it was not as full as Li Liyuan thought. As expected, Confucian education was still first-class, and it was naturally first-class in beautifying some affairs.

"Your Highness, this is Changsun Pushe. Since the time when Longxing Taiyuan was revived, Changsun Pushe ignored the opposition of his family and followed the current emperor to raise an army in Taiyuan. He was rewarded with such honor." After saying that, Li Liyuan picked up Li Jing's one again: "Although Li Shangshu was a surrendered general, he could fight the Tang Dynasty in the east and west, and he deserved the title of Your Highness's military god, and he should have such honor!"

Finally, Li Liyuan picked up Wu Zhao's one.

"Princess Mingyue is a member of the Wu family. Her father, Wu Shi, sponsored the army, can be said to have all the money." Speaking of this, Li Liyuan grinned and made a face at Li Yuanxing: "Liyuan believes that there is also the love of Princess Mingyue!"

"Ah, this..." Li Yuanxing was mute, how could he explain.

Do you say that you love another woman in front of a woman?

Fortunately, Li Liyuan knew very well and immediately turned to the gold coins.

"Your Highness has only one gold coin, so I'm afraid it's just to make the Supreme Emperor happy and not really ready to use it. Because now, the Zhenguan Dynasty. One or two gold coins are extremely noble, and the five-cent gold coins are also excellent. Your Highness should use Princess Pingyang, but Liyuan thinks it's not good."

"Why?" Li Yuanxing didn't understand.

"We women were originally following our husbands. Your Highness used Princess Pingyang's avatar, so what if Chai Fuma is supposed to do? Ask the man who is willing to live under the back of his wife." Li Liyuan's words were the truth.

Instead, Li Liyuan suddenly said: "Your Highness is the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty and is already extremely noble. So no matter how strong Princess Mingyue is, she is only under the light of Your Highness."

"A clever girl!" Li Yuanxing smiled and gently caressed Li Liyuan's face, then took out a small box from the box: "Fortunately, I am prepared, and another type of gold coins for this money is prepared, which is the prince's avatar. This coin, except for the Qin Palace, will no longer be imitated."

Li Liyuan wondered.

"Your Highness, why is this?"

"This kind of coin requires a weight of 500,000 kilograms, and it is heavily hit in the impression. Let me ask, except for our Qin Wang Mansion, who can make it, even the Ministry of Revenue. The rules are set that our king's coin shop is strictly prohibited from approaching. All craftsmen in the shop must be absolutely reliable!"

When Li Liyuan heard Li Yuanxing say this, Li Liyuan looked excited.

"Whoever dares to get close, kill his whole family!"

"Don't just talk about fighting and killing, as a woman, you should naturally be more reserved."

Knowing that Li Yuanxing was not really scolding him, Li Liyuan stuck out his tongue: "Your Highness, will our Qin Prince's Mansion use this money in the future? However, Liyuan felt that this gold was not red gold. Will outsiders have any objections when collecting the money?"

"No, gold cannot be red gold, red gold is too soft. But one or two gold coins of this king are absolutely worth one or two. Don't forget that things that people cannot imitate in the world are creditworthy. People in the Tang Dynasty will believe in this king and the Qin Palace. Even if they know it is not red gold, they will believe that this is worth one or two gold. What's more, if a real one or two pure gold is taken to be transformed into gold and water, we will also lose the cost of the workshop!"

Li Liyuan nodded in a vague way.

The next day, after the morning court, Li Yuanxing submitted a formal application in front of Li Er and his ministers and reported it with a formal stamp.

I wrote a stamp of 500 words, meaning only one sentence.

My brother wants to mint money by himself, and the Qin Palace will use his own money in the future.

"Wulang actually writes so much nonsense about the size of a toothpick." Li Er looked at the stamp and cursed halfway through the stamp: "Wulang even the stamp is written by someone on his behalf. You might as well write a sentence on paper and say that you have to mint your own money, so you can do this!"

Because there were no one outsiders present, Li Er spoke a little casually.

"The king's minting coins in the fiefdom is allowed by Tang Lu." Cui Junsu said this when he came out.

The meaning of this sentence is that this little thing is really unnecessary. If you want to mint money, just mint money. If you want to mint money, you can mint money as much as you want. If you want to mint money, you will mint it. No one will care about it at all, and no one will dare to.
