Datang: Time travel in two months, wait online, hurry up!

Li Ke simply explained the key points of the banknotes to Li Shimin.

"For example, the 'cheques' issued by Erchen Palace are a small number. Inside the Palace, everyone has a high degree of recognition and trust in this check, because this piece of paper can really be exchanged for money!"

"So, many people in the palace are using checks for transactions, because it is convenient!"

"Those people who grabbed the red envelopes yesterday, if they go to the palace to exchange copper coins, they can also exchange them for a small amount. This is establishing a credit system!"

Li Ke talked about the example of his own palace and the example of the people who grabbed the red envelopes to exchange money.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Obviously, Li Ke's idea of ​​replacing copper coins with paper is very good.

And now it has been applied on a small scale in the palace, which shows that this idea has a chance to be realized.

But after all, it is only circulated in a small area in the palace. Once it is applied to the entire Tang Dynasty, no one knows what unexpected things will happen.

Not to mention anything else, just a piece of paper with a number written on it.

What if other people write randomly?

Where did you get so many copper coins to exchange for others?

Moreover, the reputation of the imperial court is used as a guarantee. Once there is something wrong with the banknote, the credibility of the imperial court will also collapse!

This is something that must never happen!

"How about this, you sort it out first, and after you have a mature process, write a memorial to me."

Li Shimin thought for a while, and handed over this task to Li Ke.

After all, this matter was brought up by Li Ke, and Li Ke has already used this banknote in a small range in the palace.

When it comes to this thing, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty understands it better than Li Ke.

Therefore, it is best for Li Ke to be in charge.

Although there are some key issues with this banknote that have not been resolved.

But it is undeniable that once banknotes are really promoted, it will be very, very convenient for transactions!

Therefore, this is one of the reasons why he asked Li Ke to do this.

Because he also wants to use paper money instead of copper coins!

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was very interested in banknotes, Li Ke immediately nodded in agreement.

He was supposed to do this.

After all, before time travelling, I studied money and banking, economics, finance and other professional knowledge.

Moreover, the modern banking operation methods are very mature, so he can just learn from them directly.

As for the technology of making paper currency, Li Ke also knows it very well.

It is illegal in modern times, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was reasonable and legal!

As for the anti-counterfeiting technology, he also has detailed technical information in his mind.

It may not be as advanced as modern times, but it is definitely enough in the Tang Dynasty!

After chatting for a while, Li Ke left the palace with Zhao Nanyan.

On the way back to the palace, when passing a teahouse.

Li Ke heard that a newspaper reader arranged by his family was reading the newspaper to everyone.

At this time, I just read the headline on the front page of this newspaper.

Li Ke is getting married!

Write some interesting things about the wedding in the newspaper.

Of course, the song "Lovesickness" attracted everyone the most and caused the greatest sensation!

After all, this is the first time Li Ke has written poetry again after such a long time!

And it was a poem written at the door of Concubine Wu during the wedding ceremony.

This adds a touch of beauty and topic.

And because of the newspaper, the poem spread extremely quickly.

In almost one morning, many people in Chang'an City knew this poem.

Among them, the way of expressing lovesickness with red beans has attracted countless people to follow suit.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, and men and women can fall in love freely.

Therefore, I don’t know how many teenagers bought red beans, and then gave them to their favorite girls!

All of a sudden, the red beans in Chang'an City turned out to be in high demand!

"Husband, at that time you gave me a red bean, but I didn't know what it meant."

Zhao Nanyan heard the voice of the newspaper reader outside, and also remembered the impromptu poem Li Ke wrote yesterday at the door of her room.

Before she gave Li Ke a sachet, and Li Ke gave her a red bean.

At that time, she did not understand the meaning of red beans.

But after Li Ke wrote this poem yesterday when welcoming his relatives, she understood it instantly.

"So, read more books."

Li Ke smiled and pretended.

"My husband said so!"

Zhao Nanyan nodded seriously.

If someone asked her to read more, she would definitely go back.

But her husband is the number one talented person in the Tang Dynasty!

Great Tang poet!

Compared with my husband, with my little culture, I naturally read a lot more books.

"I was just joking with you, Hongdou didn't mean it, it's a human being!"

Li Ke embraced Zhao Nanyan's waist and said softly.

Red beans are very ordinary, and those who express their hearts through red beans are extraordinary.

Feeling Li Ke's intimacy, Zhao Nanyan's pretty face suddenly turned slightly red.

After returning to the palace, Li Ke came to the newspaper group.

"Continue to expand the scale, and the next step is to open a newspaper in Luoyang."

Li Ke explained to them the next plan.

Now the newspaper market in Chang'an City is still growing steadily, but it also needs to open up new markets.

The greater the circulation of the newspaper, the greater the power of public opinion.

The current newspaper is only published in Chang'an City, and it may have a lot of influence in Chang'an City, but it is still much worse in the entire Tang Dynasty.

As the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang can be regarded as the economic center of the Tang Dynasty.

So the next step is to let the newspaper in Luoyang reach the influence of Chang'an City now.

After that, it will gradually develop to various state capitals and counties.

He told the newspaper group about these plans, and then it was up to them to implement the plan themselves.

Such as recruiting people, such as opening a printing workshop in Luoyang, and delivering newspaper content to Luoyang as quickly as possible, etc.

The content can be delayed for a few days, as long as the circulation of the newspaper is increased.

After all, Datang is far inferior to modern times, whether it is a means of transportation or a way of transmitting information.

After explaining about the newspaper, Li Ke turned his energy to coal!

"Your Highness, dozens of coal mines around Chang'an City are already mining at full capacity, and now the daily output of coal has stabilized to a certain amount."

The person in charge of coal in the Wangfu reported to Li Kehui.

"Yes, are the coal mines still buying?"

Li Ke nodded, and then asked another question with concern.

He has the distribution map of the coal mines in his mind, which is a huge advantage and cannot be wasted.

"According to your instructions, the Wang Mansion sent a large number of people to Taiyuan Mansion to buy coal mines, and now they have bought a lot!"

The principal introduced the recent acquisition of coal mines to Li Ke.

While speaking, he looked at Li Ke with admiration.

His Royal Highness Wu Wang is really amazing!

Without leaving home, just a map with some circles marked on it allowed them to find a large number of coal mines!

And some coal mines were even found in very hidden places, so they found them according to the map!

Especially the Taiyuan Mansion that His Highness mentioned, there are coal mines everywhere!

"very good!"

Hearing this, Li Ke immediately smiled with satisfaction.

Taiyuan Mansion is Shanxi for later generations.

There are too many coal mines there!

According to the map I gave, it would be so cool to buy it!

"How about the workshops and people you were asked to build before? Are they all in place?"

Li Ke then continued to ask the principal.

"His Royal Highness, all preparations are in place!"

The principal immediately lifted his spirits, he knew that the business was coming!

"Okay, let's start!"

With a big wave of Li Ke's hand, his next business is about to start!

Afterwards, Li Ke took the carriage and came to the new workshop in person.

A large amount of washed coal has accumulated here.

"Grind up the coal, then add water to it, and stir."

Li Ke directly directed the craftsmen to start operating.

Everyone didn't know why they did this. Anyway, they just listened to His Highness King Wu, and they came here like this before.

"Then add mud to it and keep stirring."

Li Ke continued to instruct the craftsmen that the purpose of adding mud was to enhance the cohesiveness of the coal so that the shape could be stabilized.

"Add quicklime, stir, and squeeze it with your hands until it forms a ball."

The addition of quicklime is to reduce the harmful gas produced by coal combustion.

While Li Ke was instructing, he was also observing.

After all, although he knew the theoretical knowledge, he had no practical experience.

If you are making it for the first time, you still have to be careful.

"almost."

Li Ke saw that the coal was almost ready to form a lump, so he asked the craftsmen to stop.

He asked someone to bring a briquette machine that was built in advance!

In fact, it is a mold for making briquettes!

Use this mold to put it into the coal ball and press it hard!

A shaped briquette is ready.
