Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1274: Chao Shu! (Next)
"The ministers and others seconded!"
Early Dynasty, in the Tai Chi Hall.
Fang Xuanling took the lead in expressing support for Tang Yuan and Yanhuang Qianzhuang, and several ministers followed up to support them, especially the generals headed by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. For these generals No matter whether it uses copper coins or Tang Yuan in the future, Datang doesn’t seem to have much influence. Even if Tang Yuan replaces copper coins, they will find it much more convenient!
Every time the Datang army goes out, although the most things they bring are grain and grass, they will also carry some copper coins. On the one hand, they may need to supplement supplies in neighboring states and counties on the way, and on the other hand, In order to pay salaries or rewards to soldiers!
If the size of the army on the expedition is relatively large, then the copper money to carry will not be less, and you will have to pull many carts with ox carts!
So if Tang Yuan could become a recognized currency in all places, then the marching weight carried by the army would be much lighter after a war!
In addition to these, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Niu Jinda and others are also shareholders of Yanhuang Bank. It is also extremely beneficial for them to promote the "public ownership" of the bank and the "monetization" of Tang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should not be rushed!"
Just as the remarks were downside-down, Du Ruhui stood up, bowed his hand to Li Er, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, since the Qin and Han dynasties, copper has been used to coin coins in all dynasties. Now if the court rashly uses Tang Yuan Instead of copper coins, the people will probably distrust it.
Due to the fact that copper mines are hard to find and it is difficult to find, there is indeed a shortage of money in our Datang, but it is precisely because of the shortage of money that our food, cloth and other things commonly used by the people can be so cheap.
This Tang Yuan is printed on paper. Naturally, it is not as limited as copper coins. This is a scourge in a cage. If printing is released one day, the price of food and cloth in Datang will soar. At that time, the people will not be able to eat or wear clothes! This is a sign of troubled times, and I hope your Majesty will think twice, be cautious! "
Fang Mou Du Duan refers to Fang Xuanling's savvy and good judgment, but in terms of vision, Du Ruhui's view of the problem is high and deep, and there are few people in the whole court. As an ancient person, he could have predicted that the currency oversupply would bring inflationary consequences to Datang. Even Li Zexuan couldn't help but admire this vision!
After Du Ruhui's words fell off, many ministers in the civil servant camp were awake from a dream, with serious faces. Obviously, they also think that Du Ruhui's words are reasonable!
"Your Majesty, what Lai Gong said is that Tang Yuan and the bank must be cautious! And although this Tang Yuan is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, if it is imitated by a skilled craftsman, the court may suffer huge losses. !"
(Du Ruhui's title is Lord Lai)
In the civilian ranks, a middle-aged official in a blue court uniform walked out and arched his hands.
"Who is this person? How is his face tight?"
Li Zexuan whispered in his heart.
"Well! Li Zexuan, Du Aiqing and Doctor Yan's opinions, can you agree?"
Li Er raised his head, looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
Doctor Yan!
Old Li estimated that he knew that Li Zexuan did not know the middle-aged official, so he deliberately stated his surname and official position.
If Du Ruhui hadn’t come out to "bring the rhythm" in person, Li Er would still be immersed in the development plan of Yanhuang Banks written by Li Zexuan at the moment, not to say how good this plan is, but there are many ideas in it. Very attractive, if it were not for the wrong occasion, Lao Li would have slapped the table and applauded!
Li Zexuan leaned slightly, and said: "Returning to your majesty, Lai Gong just said something, it can be said to be far-sighted, and the minister really admires it! But the worries of Lai Gong and Doctor Yan are not without solutions!
First of all, regarding Lai Gong’s worries that the bank’s printing of too much Tang Yuan would cause prices to soar, you don’t have to worry about it! Because at present, every piece of Tang Yuan printed by Yanhuang Bank has a corresponding value of copper coin corresponding to it, and there will never be more printing!
Secondly, after Tang Yuan completely replaces copper coins in the future, how much money the bank will print each year will be determined according to how much money Datang needs! At that time, there will be a statistics department within the bank to calculate the number of Tang Yuan that needs to be printed and distributed each year. The result will be judged by His Majesty himself!
As for the problem that Dr. Yan said that Tang Yuan may be counterfeited, there is no need to worry about this. First of all, Tang Yuan’s printing uses multiple anti-counterfeiting methods, such as paper, patterns, numbers, seals, dark patterns, etc. Wait, these are absolutely unique; secondly, Dr. Yan said that Tang Yuan might be copied, but is it possible that copper coins could be copied? "
The middle-aged civil official stared, and said: "Who dares? The style of this copper coin is ordered by the Supreme Emperor. If anyone in the public imitates it at will, it will undoubtedly be a dead end!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Yes! But has Dr. Yan ever thought that after Tang Yuan became a coin appointed by His Majesty, if the people copied it, it would also be a dead end?"
"This...!"
The middle-aged civil servant was suddenly startled. Obviously, he had overlooked this extremely important point.
When Li Zexuan saw this, he bowed his hand to Li Er, and then said: "If your majesty decides to use Tang Yuan as a coin, the minister suggested that your majesty design torture and severely punish those who imitate Tang Yuan! At the same time, he printed the Chu paper used by Tang Yuan, It is also necessary to strictly prohibit private buying and selling by ordinary people and businessmen, and offenders are also severely punished!
With such a multi-pronged approach, Chen believes that the difficulty of copying Tang Yuan is definitely far greater than copying copper coins! "
Li Er listened, nodded, and said: "What Yong'an Hou said is not unreasonable, so can the officials still have objections?"
Du Ruhui shook his head and walked back.
Changsun Wuji finally came forward and said: "Yanhuang Bank and Tang Yuan are definitely things that benefit the country and the people. Although they have some flaws, they can't hide their weaknesses. The old minister thinks that Tang Yuan's promotion is bound to OK!"
As the head of civil servants, the words of Changsun Wuji are still very difficult. After what he said, no one in the civil servants stood up to object.
"The ministers and others seconded!"
Seeing it~IndoMTL.com~Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Things are developing very smoothly. Many of the lines he prepared have not had time to say!
The overall situation has been decided, Li Er raised his head and said in a deep voice:
"Since all Aiqing has no objections, from today onwards, Yanhuang Bank will be owned by the imperial court and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households. Starting from Chang'an, all merchants, restaurants, tea houses, Chu Pavilions and other places where there are trading, must not be refused Using Tang Yuan to pay the bill, offenders will be severely punished! Yanhuang Bank is located on Zhuque Street, and Yonganhou will temporarily take charge of all the bank affairs! Those who previously invested money in Yanhuang Bank will receive a certain percentage of bank dividends each year. Compensation!"

On the train returning home!
I completely quit my job yesterday, so I can write for a while!
