Chapter 316

Decision making is not the best place to solve practical problems. Li Hong's words flashed in his mind when he looked at the noisy situation in xuanzheng hall coldly.

The five surnames and seven families were blocked by the light and hidden obstacles, or the full support of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Now there are swarms of bees in the court hall, and the royal family members are mixed in the mud, and the great scholars of Hongxue stand at the commanding height of morality and grieve.

What caused this situation was Li Hong's cold saying: "all old money should be abolished from now on, and no transaction can be used."

It was like throwing a bomb at the main hall of xuanzheng hall. Not only did the five surnamed seven families and the royal family members who had a lot of money in their hands began to worry, but even the officials of the three provinces and six ministries who stabilized the imperial court began to worry. In this way, no matter who could afford the losses, the Hubu department would have lost half a year's revenue.

But after Li Hong once again coldly throws out a data, the people who hold a large amount of old money in their hands begin to be silent. That is, if they do not exchange according to the same amount and exchange them at the difference of 300 Wen, Datang will also lose half a year's revenue. And this is now the focus of the debate!

After a moment's quiet, the crowd again fell into a quarrel and heated theory. This is not only Li Hong's business, but also a dispute between some honest officials and those who hold old money.

Obviously, Li Hong's original goal has been achieved. He knows that the court's resolution is not the place to solve the problem, but it is definitely an excellent place to stir up the flames. Only by sharpening and expanding the problem, can such a long-lasting game be ended as soon as possible, and at the same time, it can reduce the loss of some money for the Tang Dynasty.

Even Li Hong didn't notice when they were in trouble. Behind Li Zhi's screen when he was in court, he had already sat down with the present emperor and empress.

Li Zhi's face is as hard to see as it is now. From time to time, he looks at Wu Mei, as if to say, look, this is the result of your laissez faire. How can such a thing be solved in the open?

Wu Mei, learning from Li Hong's usual appearance, shrugged her shoulders helplessly at Lizhi. Her face was still relaxed, as if there was a commotion in the hall, which was not bad for her.

"Wang Lou, what is that little rabbit doing? Can he stand by and stay out of the trouble when the court quarrels like this Wu Mei is not good either. Now she goes to ask Li Hong what she wants. But obviously, the new money and the old money are just a starting point.

Wang Lou moved two steps to the side. Through the screen curtain, he saw Li Hong sitting there, as if enjoying the chaos of the court hall. From time to time, he still took a sip of tea. Then he continued to look at the quarrelling officials, imperial relatives, great scholars and aristocratic families. Or did he occasionally read the examination paper on the table?

"My highness and queen, your highness is looking through a piece of paper on the desk. I can see it vaguely. It seems to be the imperial examination paper of Hongwen hall last year." Wang Lou said respectfully.

Wu Mei, with a clear look and a relaxed smile, looked at Li Zhi and said, "see, the real meaning of drunkard is not wine. I'm afraid that this Imperial College and Hongwen hall are his real intentions."

"Then you said he would give up the new money and the old money?" Li Zhi didn't care about the Guozijian and hongwenguan. He couldn't make a mess of the court.

However, if the court is confused because of money, people are impetuous, separated and disintegrated, and all classes are hostile, it is not all good for the stability of the country.

"Your Highness, your highness, Queen Bai, is at the gate of xuanzheng." Wang Lou, like a telescope, looked at the situation outside and hurriedly reported to him.

"Really? Watch the play. The good play is coming. " Wu Mei's excited look didn't make Li Zhiqi faint in the past. Is this still the queen who helps her deal with the government?

Yang Wu whispers a few words in Li Hong's ear. Li Hong looks at the gate of xuanzheng hall. Bai Chun stealthily beckons to him. Li Hong gets up and wants to go out.

Peiyan and Cen changqian, the provincial minister under the door, saw Li Hong up and hurried forward to inquire.

Li Hong smile: "continue, I'll be back soon. It's almost noon, and it's time to end."

Peiyan and Cen changqian look at each other. Although the prince's highness is smiling in front of them, they feel that the prince's highness is like a group of burning anger, but it has been suppressed and not sent out.

Li Hong, standing at the gate of xuanzheng hall, did not hide his body shape. He also allowed all the people in xuanzheng hall to see that he did not leave.

Bai Chun handed Li Hong a receipt in her hand and said, "this is from Princess Yiyang and Princess Gao'an. More than 40 million yuan of old money has been sent to the Royal Bank. It is not Donggong. It has been signed and signed."

Li Hong took a look and gave it back to Bai Chun again, indicating that he knew it. At the moment of turning his head, he saw Lin Shiling standing waiting for his call. As soon as his mind changed, Li Hong waved to him.

When Lin Shiling approached him, Li Hong looked up and down at Lin Shiling, who was wearing a scholar's blue shirt. He asked, "you have heard enough about the court. If it was you, what would you think of it?"

Idle is also idle, anyway, it is still noisy inside, then continue to let them quarrel for a while, noisy tired will automatically stop."Back to your highness, according to the humble people's humble opinion, the crux of the exchange between the old and the new is that the amount of money is huge. The court can't afford to pay so much money, and the meritorious families who hold the old money can't afford such a risk. If they choose to exchange one for one, they will only get a lower price for the people in the world." Lin Shiling's eyes were excited, but his expression was calm and thoughtful.

"How to untie this knot?" Li Hong asked again with a smile. At the same time, he also looked at a piece of paper in Bai Chun's hand.

This piece of paper is not an important secret, but a proposal put forward by the students of Chongwen University on how to exchange new money and old money.

Lin Shiling looks gloomy and uncertain. Obviously, he has already got the answer, but he is considering whether he will make his royal highness angry if he gives such an answer, or he thinks his plan is too dirty and despicable, thus breaking his only hope of becoming an official.

"Don't worry about it. I won't care about any plan." Li Hong looked at Lin Shiling's appearance of hesitation and knew that he had a plan.

"Yes, your highness. Small people think: clothing, food, housing and transportation are the foundation of human beings. No matter high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they can not do without such necessities as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea and so on. In Tang Dynasty, corn, cloth and silk were all equivalent. Now, why not use it again? " After saying this, Lin Shiling stopped talking. After seeing Li Hong's look, he saw that he was still smiling.

So he had to go on: "since the ban on old money in Chang'an, prices have begun to decline. By then, not only the main source of tax revenue from rent and Yong adjustment of the imperial court will be damaged, but also the common people and merchants. In this way, as long as the holders of old money continue to buy at a low price, within two months, my annual income of the Tang Dynasty will have to be included, or even not enough, By then, I'm afraid the old money holders will have the upper hand. Today's plan is to stop issuing all the honorary salaries and exchange high-priced items for salaries, forcing the old money in their hands to continue to depreciate, and strictly control salt, sugar and other food items. In this way, although the cloth and silk are warm, they can't eat. At that time, they can't wait to sell the old money in order to buy things with low prices in the market. However, as long as the government issues registration rules on the ground of managing merchants, the people can't wait to sell the old money With honest officials or those who hold new money, they can still enjoy the benefits, while those who hold the old money are numerous. Their purchase decision will not be a small number, so they need to report to the imperial court. In this way, in order to raise prices against them and make up for the price difference sold to the people at low prices, I'm afraid that about 70% of the old money can be recovered within a month. Naturally, the first beneficiary is the court The next step is the common people and honest people. "

Li Hong laughed. Although this law is effective, it is too mean, but it can be regarded as the simplest and direct method. With the control, transactions will become more frequent. Although large transactions will not appear, the tax revenue of each transaction will not change. Raising prices to large traders, tax revenue is enough, and the beneficiaries of low-cost goods are naturally 100 Surname and merchant.

Chongwenguan's plan is similar, but it is more open and aboveboard. In the end, the court is the party that loses the most, while those who hold the old money will replace the old money and the new money one for one in the whole process, until the end. The common people are the natural beneficiaries.

"How old are you this year?" Li Hong asked suddenly.

"Back to your highness, Xiao Min is 27 years old."

"Have you ever been married?"

"The family has wife, children and mother, all of them are still in Taiyuan."

"You are now the prince of Donggong, Zhan Shicheng. You are in charge of judging the affairs of the government and the book of Zhiwen and military officials." Li Hong patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Shiling was stunned on the spot. He even forgot to thank his Highness the prince and the boss with his mouth open. Up to now, he still doubts whether he has heard the wrong thing. He has become an official of the East Palace on the sixth grade?!

The position of Prince Zhan Shi is equivalent to that of Shangshu province. The function of this organization is to follow the example of Shangshu province. After the crown prince inherited the unification, Prince Zhan Shi was one of the best candidates to serve in Shangshu province.

As for the position of crown prince Zhan Shicheng, it is the same as Zuo Cheng and you Cheng under the guidance of left and right servants. If there is no accident, as long as the crown prince inherits the throne, so long as he does not make a big mistake, He Lin Shiling may become a minister of power of the Tang Empire.

Li Hong didn't pay any more attention to him. He turned around and went back to chaotang. At this time, the quarrel gradually stopped. After he went back to his seat, the whole court became silent. Everyone was waiting for his decision.
