After Tang Anshi, this thing almost became the way for local warlords to make money, and the central government could not do anything about it. Moreover, the loss of minting money was too great, so the court could only gradually give up, from millions of mints to tens of thousands of mints every year, and then to nothing.

Warlords have no moral integrity, mud money, iron money, lead money, cloth money, arrow money. As long as you think of it, they can make it all out and then take money from the pockets of the people.

In addition, it is not that difficult to make money. If you adjust the ratio of copper and lead slightly, you will make a lot of money. Therefore, most wealthy families are making money, exactly the same as during the Republic of China.

Some wealthy families even made more money than the imperial court.

Lingnan is no exception, but due to the relationship between the Maritime Silk Road, Lingnan still recognizes silver as the first place in China to use silver on a large scale, so silver is relatively cheap. One tael of silver is about 1,500 coins, while in the Central Plains, one tael of silver can be exchanged for at least 2,000 coins, or 3,000 coins.

If it is in a closed country in Shu, it can even reach a one-to-five exchange ratio.

As long as you have the power, just the business of exchange for silver and copper can make you rich enough to rival a country.

"In the chaotic times, it is better to punish lightly!" Li Jia shook her head and said with a smile:

"I am also a tolerant monarch. If the killing is too heavy, wouldn't I leave a reputation of being mean and ungrateful?"

Hearing the emperor's self-deprecation, Wu Qing didn't dare to speak for a moment, lowered his head, as if waiting for the emperor's words.

But the daily man next to him did not delay any delay, and wrote like flowing water, recording so much pleasure.

"In this way, each company is fined 100 yuan for the record of the list. It happens that the people's livelihood is withering in Hunan. Let them migrate to Changsha! It's not too difficult for them..."

"Your Majesty's kindness, I believe they must be grateful!" Wu Qing hurriedly bowed.

"By the way, this time, you can send someone to cooperate with the local area and investigate it carefully. If you find someone with bad intentions, you will destroy the shock, appease the best, and clear the best!"

"promise!"

Speaking of this, Li Jia was a little indifferent, so he waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Originally, he wanted these people to go to Chameng and Jiaozhou, but the land was so harsh and the tropical rainforest was dense. These people were spoiled and most of them could die if they went there. It was clear that they could send them to die. For local wealthy families, it would be better to rebel!

Therefore, he happened to have a plan to move the capital to Changsha, so let these people go to Changsha. One way is to enrich the capital, and the other way is to weaken the local strength of Lingnan and assist the enrollment of households and citizens.

Chengtian Prefecture, Xinhui County.

It has been stable for decades and has always been the jurisdiction of Chengtian Prefecture, the capital of the State. Xinhui County is very prosperous, with tens of thousands of households in Dingkou. Whether in the former Tang Dynasty or now, it is a first-class county, rich and enviable.

There is a house in front street in the northeast of the county government, living in the wealthy families of Xinhui County. There are constant banquets every day, including silk and bamboo orchestras, singers and prostitutes, and they are always in the envy of the people of Xinhui County. Even ordinary people have to be careful when passing by, for fear of disturbing these big men.

Of course, because it is very close to the county government, the men of the county government often come to eat, drink and have a deep relationship and a harmonious atmosphere.

On that day, just as the sky was dawn, Hu Shengyu, Mr. Hu, and his concubine gave birth to a concubine's son, who had a flock of branches and leaves. Especially when they were happy, they asked the servants to invite the crowd and post invitations.

The Hu Mansion is very luxurious, with three in and three out, all the steps, stone lions, and summer. Although it is magnificent, it lacks some charm, which only won everyone's surprise, not praise.

There were traffic in front of the house, and all kinds of ox carts and horse carriages blocked the streets. All kinds of slaves were talking enthusiastically, looking at the lively yard, and talking enviously.

"Brother Hu, congratulations!"

"It's a blessing to have branches and leaves!"

All the rich and wealthy families from Xinhui County received invitations and visited them in person. Mr. Hu Shengyu and Mr. Hu also greeted him with a smile on his face, and he was really happy in his heart.

With the housekeeper's repeated singing and call, the gifts became more and more abundant. There were countless gifts worth dozens of coins, and there were even close and hundreds of coins. The sound was sung very far, completely demonstrating the prosperous scene of the Hu Mansion Heat cooking oil.

It can be said that a full moon banquet in Hu’s mansion alarmed most of Xinhui County.

"Brother Hu, congratulations!" A middle-aged man with a big belly walked in. He was dressed very richly, with a square face and big ears, which was impressive.

"Brother Fang, please please!" Hu Shengyu saw that he was his business partner Fang Quansheng, and immediately went up to meet him, and the housekeeper immediately called him:

"Mr. Fang Quansheng, Mr. Fang, gave him a pair of jade bis, a long life lock, and twenty golden leaves——"

The other guests took a breath of air conditioning instantly.

These gifts combined are worth more than 100% of the money, which is really a big deal. Everyone was amazed at Mr. Fang's wealth, and then began to discuss how much property he had, and the scene became more and more lively.

"Brother Fang is so polite!" Mr. Hu sighed.

"We two families are kind-hearted, and I'm still worried that these gifts are not worthy of my nephew!" Fang Quansheng said indifferently, with a smile on his face.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, talk!" Hu Shengyu looked at this big move. A concubine's son was not worth it, and there must be something wrong, so he welcomed him in.

"Brother Fang, what happened?"

"There is nothing, but there is a big business!" Fang Quansheng said with a smile.

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!" Hu Shengyu said.

"Our Tang Dynasty was newly established. A few days ago, the emperor collected copper mines in large quantities, and the Ministry of Industry also worked hard to raise money to make coins. Now in this world, most of the lead coins are damaged and there are few copper coins. I guess it is a newly minted coins!"

"My home's furnace has not been opened these days, just waiting for this day. The new dynasty is opened, so it is naturally expensive and expensive. The more copper materials we get, the more copper statues we get, the more we get, this time we will definitely get a few more!"

Hu Shengyu was also happy when he heard this. Although the court prohibited the molten money, the value of copper ware was too high. The copper material obtained from the ten-spoon copper coins was rebuilt with the value of copper ware several times, which was simply a no-price transaction. If there was a way to sell it into the Central Plains, it would have to be several times.

Just a little firewood and a little wage can get several times the money. Who doesn’t want to go?

"Master, Master, it's not good. When a group of officers and soldiers came, they surrounded our house directly."

At this time, the butler suddenly appeared and said in panic.
