Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

"All old money will be invalidated, and the exchange will be completed at the yamen of the Ministry of Households within the time limit."

"Wang Xiu, you are fully responsible for this matter. If there is a mistake, I will take you as a questioner."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Wang Xiu's eyes lit up.

Your Majesty, actually entrusted him with the task of issuing the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao!

This is a heavy responsibility!

It is related to the social and economic stability of Datang.

Wang Xiu immediately felt that the courage on his shoulders became heavy.

The reason why Li Xiu appointed Wang Xiu to lead this matter.

In addition to the fact that Wang Xiu is the second place in the new department, the emperor's disciple, and the young man's brain is relatively active.

There is another big reason.

That is, Li Xiu intends to remove the function of issuing currency from the household department!

Start a brand new department!

And this department will not be limited to issuing copper coins in the future.

Because history has proved that paper money is the ultimate form of currency.

Copper coins are just a transition.

……

West of Chang'an City.

Academy of Sciences.

Chang Fu looked at the roughly completed hot air balloon in front of him, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

According to the method taught by His Majesty, and the raw materials provided by Cao Zhengchun, he actually made a hot air balloon!

"As expected of His Majesty!"

At this moment, Chang Fu admired Li Xiu so much.

As we all know, heat will float upwards.

But who would have thought that the hot air balloon that can fly in the sky can be made by pouring hot air into the balloon?

Anyway, he couldn't think of it!

There are only ghosts like His Majesty!

Only then can we see the details and have such an amazing brain hole.

Chang Fu's face revealed a look of deep thought.

At this moment, a bold guess suddenly flashed in his mind.

Your Majesty, could it be that a man descended from heaven?

"Little Ma, we are going to heaven today, are you ready?"

Chang Fu took a deep breath, and immediately looked at his assistant Xiao Ma.

Just a few days ago, they had conducted an experiment and successfully sent a dog into the sky.

The experiment was a success.

However, Chang Fu still wanted to experience the taste of heaven for himself.

Manned experiments are imperative!

"Master Chang, should we think about it again, or try to put a few more dogs, there is no need to take risks by ourselves..."

The pony looked bitter.

Originally, he was just a gatekeeper of the Academy of Sciences.

Then suddenly one day, Chang Fu smiled and invited himself to be his assistant.

And also paid a high salary.

Let the pony a pie in the sky.

Unexpectedly, this is the beginning of a nightmare!

Chang Fu, this guy, conducts experiments all day long and wants to go to heaven!

Now, I have to take his assistant along with me!

"No, the original intention of making hot air balloons is to carry people, otherwise what's the point?"

Chang Fu shook his head, then smiled and patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I promise to give you a generous subsidy after the matter is completed."

Pony's face became even more bitter.

Is it about money?

If something goes wrong, the subsidy may directly become a pension!

"If you don't go, I will report to His Majesty that you don't cooperate with my work and let His Majesty cut off your head."

Chang Fu played both soft and hard.

Xiao Ma had no choice but to follow up, and boarded the hot air balloon with Chang Fu.

Afterwards, the hot air balloon carried the two of them into the air.

Inside Chang'an City.

Suddenly, a commoner looked up and saw the hot air balloon flying in the sky, and immediately exclaimed: "What kind of bird is that!"

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The people all raised their heads one after another, looking at the hot air balloon in astonishment.

"No way, I seem to see someone up there!"

Someone rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then said in shock.

"Damn it!"

Many people were amazed, "There are really two people on it! They are waving to us!"

This matter soon caused a sensation in the entire Chang'an City.

Naturally, it was passed into the palace.

Li Xiu and Cao Zhengchun came to the observatory and saw the hot air balloon over Chang'an city.

"This Changfu is interesting."

Li Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, "He really created the hot air balloon."

At the beginning, he just provided Chang Fu with a concept and drew a sketch. Unexpectedly, this person, relying on his little pointers, actually made the hot air balloon out.

Children can be taught!

Cao Zhengchun, who was on the side, also nodded, "It is worthwhile for the miscellaneous family to go into the sea and get him a few shark skins!"

Catching sharks is a technical job!

Even for him, it took more than half a month to finish this matter.

Before that, he never thought that such an unreliable thing could be realized.

But they didn't expect that Chang Fu could really do it right now!

"Cao Zhengchun, go and draw up the decree immediately."

"Chang Fu has made great contributions to the development of hot air balloons, and the top five rewards!"

"Notify the entire Academy of Sciences, saying that I encourage inventions and creations, and I will reward all those who can produce results."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun immediately took orders and left.

Only Li Xiu was left, still looking at the hot air balloon in the sky.

fell into contemplation.

Now that the hot air balloon was released, a bold idea sprouted in Li Xiu's mind.

That is, relying on hot air balloons, can a large-scale aerial firearms force be formed?

If successful.

Then their Great Tang is considered to have all the armed forces of the sea, land and air...

In this world, who else can be the enemy?

……

Golden Palace.

above the hall.

early morning.

Civil and military officials stand on both sides of the royal road.

Wang Xiu took the lead and reported to Li Xiu the progress of casting the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao.

Minting new coins is obviously not a one-time job.

What's more, the copper materials stored by the imperial court are limited, which cannot meet the demand for casting Tiandi Tongbao.

"Then recycle the old coins, smelt the old copper coins, and use them to mint new coins."

Li Xiu said casually.

"I have arranged for local governments to recycle old coins, but the efficiency of local governments is low and the progress is slow..."

Wang Xiu shook his head, "The common people still seem to have doubts about the new currency. Among the people, they still use the old currency for transactions."

"Then they don't trust me, and they don't trust the court."

Li Xiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Decree, all parts of the country must complete the recycling of all old coins within one month!"

"If it can't be completed, the local government officials will be dismissed!"

"Anyone who dares to re-use old coins for trading will be regarded as prohibited. Once discovered, they will be severely punished!"

"Yes!"

Only then did Wang Xiu back away.

Your Majesty, this is to use the power of imperial power to vigorously promote the issuance of new coins!

With these two iron and blood policies.

I am afraid that no one will dare to hinder the implementation of the Heavenly Emperor Tongbao.

Chapter 136 Rectifying Datang Officialdom

"Your Majesty, this minister has something to play."

At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out, bowed his hands to Li Xiu, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now the national power of our Tang Dynasty is flourishing, the national fortune is prosperous, the society is prosperous, and the people are stable."

"However, under this prosperous age, there are many hidden dangers."

"First of all, my bureaucratic system in Tang Dynasty has huge flaws."

"There are a huge number of officials in the country, and they consume a lot of money from the court every year. Among them, there are actually a lot of idle officials who don't do practical things, push the buck when things happen, and have low administrative efficiency."

"Even, as far as I know, in many places, there is still a phenomenon of empty pay. I think that it must be strictly rectified."

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of officials said this.

Many ministers in the court changed their colors.

This minister of the official department is talking nonsense!

This let His Majesty know that there will be another storm in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty?
