Looking at Li Chengqian, who was struggling to rebuild his three views, Qin Hao continued: "Let's do the most basic deduction. Nowadays, the gold circulation rate of the Tang Dynasty is not high, so when buying and selling, other things are often used to replace gold as collateral. It is convenient to exchange salt turf and salt turf, so it will never have to worry about selling it. So once it is launched, it has become the most popular collateral. Right, from an economic perspective, salt turf and gold can almost form an equivalent exchange, that's right."

Li Chengqian nodded.

"Now the Hexi Corridor is unobstructed, and the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions is becoming more and more prosperous day by day. Merchants need to pay for it whether they buy or sell materials. The natural convenience of salt incense will inevitably replace the status of gold. In this way, salt incense will remain in the hands of merchants and will naturally not be used to exchange for salt. If the output of salt does not change on a large scale, salt incense will gradually be accepted by the market and become a supplement to gold, or even a supplement to silver, a supplement to brass, and will become the currency of our Tang Dynasty...!"

Li Chengqian swallowed with difficulty and said, "Cash...... currency? Then... salt inlets that are not exchanged for salt are just a piece of paper? Is this possible?"

"Of course it is possible, but the premise is that the court controls the number of distributions."

"Gu seems to understand a little. Since this is the case, this is a great thing. Not only can the people be convenient, but the money shortage in our Tang Dynasty can also be solved. At least we don't have to tear so much silk cloth apart every year, and we can wear silk cloth on our body. If that is the case, why do you still have to oppose it?"

"Because the court does not know how powerful this thing is, it is impossible to print only ten million stones. Once the court has a tight cost, it is necessary to add salt to the quotation. After all, it is money to print it out. This thing is too tempting to the ruling class, so big that it cannot be stopped. Even if we understand what we say again, it will never be able to gain this memory if we don't actually hurt the last time."

"If... what would happen if the court really printed more as you said?"

Qin Hao let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's no big deal to print a little more of this thing. After all, it's impossible for ordinary people to transfer all the salt in one breath. It's not like that. If two or three hundred million stones are printed, it will probably not have any impact on the entire Tang Dynasty market system. The court can still get the 20 million or more money for this. This is almost the money from the strong wind. But if it prints more than 50 million, the people will probably suffer, because in essence, this is an act of plundering people's wealth, and if it's higher in a short period of time..."

“What happens if it’s a little higher?”

"The country has overturned, the world has changed color, blood has flowed, and the Li family has fallen."

Qin Hao made this thing basically the prototype of paper money. Of course, the harm of abuse is almost the same as paper money. The Yuan Empire, which was once invincible for a while, perished was destroyed because of the abuse of paper money.

I remember that he had seen countless time travels in his previous life. The protagonists in it could always make banknotes, all of which were made of gold and silver, and it took Boss Big to make it. There was also a lot of yy ingredients in it.

Why do you have to spend this effort? Who stipulates that the reserves of paper money can only be gold and silver? Gold and silver things are hungry and cannot be eaten, and they cannot drink thirst. The reserves are still so small that they are difficult to control. How can they be more convenient than using salt?

This was not what Qin Hao thought of himself. It was just a system that had existed in the early Ming Dynasty. Merchants and people helped the army raise and transport supplies and used salt as rewards. When Zhu Chongba and Zhu Laosi fought, the merchants and salt were instrumental in the war, the merchants and salt initiation played a huge role.

Of course, the subsequent bitter fruit was borne by the descendants of the Zhu family. Because of the continuous addition of printing and printing, the amount of salt was attracted by thousands or even tens of thousands of times the annual output of the Ming Dynasty salt. In the end, it fell less than even waste paper. The entire Ming Dynasty economic system collapsed, and the people were in poverty and the country was in poverty.

Are all officials in the early Tang Dynasty smarter than all officials in the early Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid it may not be. Although Li Shimin was the emperor of the ages, Zhu Mazi and Zhu Laosi were not given for nothing. Therefore, Qin Hao estimated that the mistakes made by the old Zhu family in the early Ming Dynasty were similar to those of the old Li family in the early Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengqian felt his mind buzzing, grabbed Qin Hao's shoulder and said angrily: "Why don't you explain these words to your father clearly, why don't you stop him? What kind of intention do you have?"

Qin Hao shrugged his shoulder helplessly and said, "It's useless to say it. This thing is a sharp sword of the imperial court. It's impossible not to use it. My words are just a one-man word. No matter what you said before you have tasted the bitter fruit, it's all alarmist. Don't say it's the emperor. When you really lack money, you may not even resist his temptation. The same sentence is that you never know how painful it is. On the one hand, there is endless wealth at your fingertips, and on the other hand, there is false alarmist. How can you choose to be clear at a glance?

I won’t say that, let things develop in their original direction, and I can still guide and control it a little. When it really breaks out, I’m sure I’ll clean up the mess. I said, at most, I’ll be careful when printing, but if that happens, once the thunder grows, I’ll be unable to make it happen.”

Li Chengqian was stunned and then said, "You said that if something really happens, you can still make up for it?"

Qin Hao nodded and said, "If it breaks out within three years, there is still a way."

Li Chengqian immediately laughed when he heard this and said, "So you have already planned it, haha, that's right, how could a person like you throw out something you didn't understand? No wonder you asked me to object. You want to let the Lord turn the tide."

"Your Highness is indeed smart. Thank you for your trust."

"Ha, you have said so much, Gu Jing, but I can understand it for a few words, but I will be fine if you believe me. Knowing what you are going to do, Gu will feel at ease. If it is as you said, Gu's whip will not be in vain."

Li Chengqian was also a smart person, but the Tang Dynasty had not even established the gold, silver and currency standard. Where did the financial system come from? The span was too large, so he was confused and knew that it was a thunder. He threw it out and could blow himself to pieces, but Qin Hao could save him.

Of course, taking risks is not without profit. Every year, the court can turn a lot of paper into money. This little bit of stone into gold is just like this. For the sake of this money that is within reach, Li Chengqian also thinks that this risk can be taken advantage of.

Sometimes it is so simple for superiors to think about things. It is enough to understand who can do it clearly.
