As the ceremonial officer’s loud voice sounded again, the early morning began at this moment.

The historian is on one side, and the ‘brush’ in his hand has already been prepared for a long time. Today’s things are fortunate to be recorded by myself. It’s a supreme honor.

Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan led a hundred officials to worship, which opened the curtain of today's court.

Pei Yan was about to open his mouth and continue to show the various classes above the court today, but was interrupted coldly by Li Hong: "Don’t worry about it, today is straightforward, everyone with identity sitting here, these few days I have already met with your Majesty and complained about my suffering. I want to come and you are willing to enter the topic of today straightforwardly: the exchange of new money and old money, since the imperial court banned the'trading' of old money, it can only be exchanged. Everyone's plan to make a big profit at the end of the year is in vain, right? The heroic'men' who made my Datang's foundation today, the post of officials, the great scholars of Hongxue, etc. are all there, and you have recommended them to express them. Or should I ask questions one by one? The time for a cup of tea is discussed and started."

As Li Hong’s words landed, the entire main hall of Xuanzheng Hall suddenly seemed to fly into countless flies, and the buzzing sound was endless. For Li Hong to enter the subject so straightforwardly, they were a little surprised, everyone. They also believed that Li Hong should take into account the large number of people in Xuanzheng Hall, and would adopt a softer strategy, but he did not expect that it seemed that there would be a lot of people against everyone.

The voice of discussion gradually settled down after Xuanzheng Hall reached a unanimous decision. What Li Hong didn't expect was that the first one to stand up was Kong Zhiyue, a scholar of Hongwenguan.

"Chen Kong Zhiyue would like to ask His Royal Highness, what do I mean by Datang's Kaiyuan Tongbao? How many kinds are there? What is the difference between each? Each kind of Kaiyuan Tongbao is more expensive?" Kong Zhiyue stood in the center of the main hall, showing an exemplary demeanor.

Li Hong looked up at Kong Zhiyue and said lightly: "In the four years of Wude, five baht money was discarded, and the new money Kaiyuan Tongbao was used. The new money is about 20% more than the five baht copper. The weight is two baht and four silks. One thousand wenqian means that the usual money is six catties and four liang, and the decimal system of cents, cents, money, and liang is used. Because the increase in copper materials is similar to that of Datang, it was originally abolished. When it was five baht money, it did not encounter such great resistance. Counting the gold and silver money used by the palace for rewards, there are a total of 14 types of Kaiyuan Tongbao. The difference is large print, small print, etc., but no matter what kind of money, The weight of each coin is strictly controlled at the standard of two baht and four silks. Of course, if some people’s “private” casting of Tongbao is added, there will be more than fourteen kinds of money. Kaiyuan Tongbao means the founding of the country and the circulation of treasures. ."

After speaking, Li Hong looked at the silent crowd below. Kong Zhiyue’s expression remained unchanged. If the majestic Prince of Tang Dynasty didn’t even know the meaning of Kaiyuan Tongbao, it would be a strange thing. .

"Since His Royal Highness knew that Kaiyuan Tongbao was made by the founding of the Tang Dynasty, why should we abolish the meaning of Kaiyuan Tongbao made by Gaozu? Founding the foundation and circulating treasures are the Emperor Gaozu's expectation of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. When he was alive, he was wise, martial artist and martial artist, and he never thought about making new money and abolishing Tongbao. Why did His Royal Highness insist on going his own way but want to abolish this circulating treasure?" Kong Zhiyue was sharp in his words, but his attitude was respectful, obviously, He didn't want Li Hong to grab his handle from other places.

"The times are advancing and things are developing. Nothing can stay the same. Kaiyuan Tongbao is the old system since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Just like the jade pendant you wear today is different from the crystal pendant yesterday, we need To develop in innovation, we cannot blindly stick to the old system and follow the tradition. Whether the new money has a profound significance and influence on our Datang in the past few years, is it more convenient to'transaction' than Kaiyuan Tongbao, anyone here wants to come. Have a say, you all have seen it with your own eyes. If you use old money as the basis, how should you conduct large-scale'transactions' with the disadvantages of different sizes and different amounts? Since the Zhenguan year, there has been a consistent amount of money less than one thousand. The problem of writing is just that there is no good way to solve it. Do you think that we have been using the old system and we can continue to use the usual money for a thousand writings?"

Kong Zhiyue's face was flushed. He went to court today and even changed the ‘Jade’ wear specifically to be held by His Royal Highness, but he did not expect His Highness to see the problem.

For topics such as the development of things and the progress of the times, Guozijian is still Hongwenguan. No one has ever discussed this. Only the Prince's Chongwenguan. Everyday students are blushing around these quarrels.

"As for the usual money less than one thousand wen, this is something that no one can do. No one even knows when it started. This phenomenon occurred. With the advent of some natural disasters, the common people Naturally, in order to be able to fill up the stomach, I am willing to do tricks with money." Yushi Wang Yifang stood up and saluted while Kong Zhiyue was meditating.

Li Hongyang promoted the paper in Yang's hand, Yang Wu took it and handed it to Wang Yifang. Watching Wang Yifang flipping through it, Li Hong looked at everyone and said: "The Royal Bank statistics show that in the past two years, old money has been exchanged for new money. The amount of money exchanged by the people of the Li people is far more than the amount of the wealthy'men' merits and so on. Wang Yifang, you are also recommended by the Jinyang Wang family as an official. It is said that half of Jinyang’s old money is used by you. Money is exchanged, one exchange is one exchange, but there is a fee of ten dollars for each transaction, but this?"

"This...." Wang Yifang didn't expect that Jinyang matters had been controlled by His Royal Highness. He hesitated and said after thinking about it: "The minister does not understand this matter. If it is true, I think it is old money. It’s too heavy, you need to pay some freight."

"It's your duty to be a censer of the censor, why didn't you know it? Or did you hide it? Fang Xianzhong, you just accompanied your mother to Jinyang a few days ago, but you know about it ?" Li Hong asked with a frown.

He found that the first to attack him today, whether it is Kong Zhiyue, Wang Yifang or Fang Xianzhong, these people are inextricably linked to the Jinyang Wang family. Kong Zhiyue has always been with the five surnames and seven. The family is relatively close. Because of the imperial examination system, it is no longer a secret that the five surname and seven families are now reaching out to cheating in the imperial examination.

Wang Yifang needless to say, he is recommended by the Jinyang Wang family. Fang Xianzhong may have been relatively low-key, but his mother is the Jinyang Wang family, and he has a'female', which is after Li Xian The princess.

From this, we can know that the Wang family in Taiyuan used the concubine's daughters in their clan to make friends with officials and win over the court, while the clan maintained the order of marriage with other families. The wealthy'men' were married, and the concubine came out of the court. This is the reason why the aristocratic'men' could not stand and influence the direction of the court.

"Chen Xianzhong didn't know." After Yan Liben resigned, Shangshufang of the Ministry of Industry said calmly.

Li Hong waved his hand casually and signaled him to go back. Sooner or later, Wang's family would be decayed. Even though the other four surnames are standing with him, some people are already secretly handing them over.

"His Royal Highness, we are all aware of the pros and cons of new money and old money, but nowadays there are many people who own the old money. My Datang is still short of copper to make new money. You stop scrapping old money, but new money I can’t meet the daily expenses. Wouldn’t it make my Datang’s business in trouble? The minister felt that it would be better to allow the Ministry of Household to open exchanges with the Royal Bank. How is the old money always exchanged?” Within the royal family, walked out One person talked eloquently and said that it was Cao Wang Liming.

"Uncle Cao Wang, Datang is the Li family, and the old money is always less than 700 wen. Why do you bear to watch the royal family suffer so much? Or are you hoarding too much old money?" Li Hong asked back.

Li Ming shook his head, still smiling, and said: "I do have a lot of old money in my hand, and even the golden Tongbao and silver Tongbao rewarded by the emperor back then have a lot of money, but this money cannot be paid. "Yi, but only as a memorial or a play. Besides, in the royal family, I am not the only one? Princess Yiyang and Princess Gaoan are said to have exchanged a lot of old money in other places, I don’t know. How do you plan to deal with it? Or is it treated by the royal family alone?"

Li Xian, a bastard, has gotten close to some people, so how come out to make trouble with someone who is close to him?

Li Hong quietly looked at Cao Wang and Liming~IndoMTL.com~Want to see who gave him the courage to make him dare to speak like this?

"Not only Princess Yiyang and Princess Gaoan, but also Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi among the imperial family members. They also hoarded a large amount of old money last year, which would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars." Li Zhen also stood up and said.

Kong Zhiyue and Yan Zhaofu looked at each other, they both saw the meaning of watching the excitement in each other's eyes, the corners of their mouths pulled out a curve, and then they immediately began to close their eyes seriously.

Li Hong sneered and watched the two uncles sing together. He thought that these people would come up with Yiyang and Gao An as an excuse, and then they would shut up his own mouth. Unexpectedly, they would take the lead in the Jinyang Wang clan. Later, he ran out to talk to Gao An with Yiyang.

But having said that, this is also his own weakness. Up to now, he doesn't know whether Yiyang and Gao An have dealt with all the old money.

As for Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi, I have never learned much from their mother. Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were demoted to Lingnan. The sons of the two: Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi are in the Korean wife Yang family. After his death, he was left in Chang'an by his mother's empress. Now he has become two idlers in Chang'an City after He Lanmin.
