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

They already had a hunch.

Work under Li Xiu, His Majesty the Emperor.

They will have a lot to do!

……

Nanyang.

Qi Jiguang led the [-] Great Tang Navy, after conquering the Sulu Kingdom.

Then he took King Sulu all the way west.

Successively passing through Java, Sumatra, Siam, Pyu, Chenla, Linyi and other small Southeast Asian countries.

Wherever you go, you should be courteous first and then soldiers.

With the deterrent power of [-] Great Tang Navy.

The Southeast Asian countries basically have no ability to resist.

Even if there is a country like Sulu that once thought about resisting one or two.

After a fight, it stopped.

The king who was reluctant to travel to Datang at first.

All changed their attitudes.

After experiencing ups and downs in Nanyang.

Qi Jiguang's naval fleet was fully loaded with kings from various countries, and with the tributes and gifts from various countries, they embarked on the journey back to the Tang Dynasty.

……

Royal Palace.

Inside the imperial study.

Li Xiu is checking the financial revenue of Datang Dynasty last year.

According to the vastness and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty today.

The national treasury is short-lived from time to time.

This made Li Xiu very puzzled.

Although now he has appointed Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng to carry out reforms and implement the New Deal.

But he still wanted to see what went wrong with the income of the Tang court.

however.

Even after looking through the accounts of the imperial court, it is difficult for Li Xiu to see anything abnormal.

Even Wang Anshi, Zhang Juzheng and the others still couldn't tell.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun who was on the side stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are in the supreme position, and you cannot clearly see many things below."

"What's down there?"

Hearing that Cao Zhengchun seemed to mean something, Li Xiu couldn't help asking: "Cao Zhengchun, do you know something?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know."

Cao Zhengchun shook his head, "I just feel that there are many hidden problems among the people, and His Majesty may not be able to discover them. Even this old slave can easily discover them."

Li Xiu nodded.

Cao Zhengchun was right in saying this.

Because he is the emperor.

A lot of the following information can't reach him at all.

Although Cao Zhengchun is the governor of the East Factory, it is impossible for him to really control the world.

At the level of the common people, neither Li Xiu nor Cao Zhengchun knew much about it.

"Cao Zhengchun, what you said really reminded me."

"Since I ascended the throne, I have lived in this deep palace for a long time, and I have never seen what the lives of the people are like."

"Perhaps you are right, I should go down and have a look, maybe I can gain something."

Looking at the majestic palace compound, Li Xiu suddenly had a thought in his heart.

Since he took the throne, it seems that he hasn't really been to the people.

Have not been to the folk experience.

How can we know how the people's lives are going?

Is this prosperous Tang Dynasty just a vain name?

If the Tang Empire was rich and powerful, it would not be able to benefit every ordinary person.

This prosperous age cannot be called a real prosperous age.

"Cao Zhengchun, follow me out of the palace."

"I, I want to go on tour in low clothes."

Li Xiu glanced at Cao Zhengchun, and gave orders.

"Yes."

After all, Li Xiu asked the maid to change her clothes.

He took off the dragon robe and put on a coarse cloth clothes of ordinary people.

And Cao Zhengchun put on an ordinary gray suit, looking like an ordinary old man.

One master and one servant left the palace.

On the streets of Chang'an City.

The people are constantly flowing.

In addition to the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty, there are also various races from the Western Regions, Turks, Tubo, Nanzhao, etc., mixed in the streets and alleys.

Because today's Great Tang has wiped out all these countries, these original barbarian people naturally became the people of Great Tang.

Moreover, quite a few of them have also received the cultural education of the Tang Dynasty, and now they are no different from ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty.

Today, the world is settled and the world is at peace. The people in Chang'an City, at first glance, are also in a thriving atmosphere.

"Stinky tofu costs a penny and a penny, but if it doesn't stink, it doesn't cost money!"

"Selling cut cakes, authentic Turpan cut cakes!"

"Cooking cakes! Freshly baked Dalang cooking cakes, two yuan each!"

"..."

Chapter 171

Looking at the grand occasion in front of him.

Li Xiu nodded slightly.

At a glance, it does look a bit like the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Scanned the scene in Chang'an city.

Li Xiu's gaze finally fixed on the shop of Dalang's sesame seed cake.

"Here are two Dalang biscuits."

"okay!"

The owner of the shop was a small man not more than five feet tall. He looked at Li Xiu and Cao Zhengchun with a smile on his face, "Two Dalang sesame seed cakes, a total of four renminbi."

"Give money."

Li Xiu winked at Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun stepped forward quickly and gave the little man a piece of silver.

Seeing the broken silver that Cao Zhengchun took out.

Li Xiu frowned.

Obviously, Li Xiu had issued a decree earlier to prohibit the circulation of gold and silver among the people. Cao Zhengchun, this is a deliberate crime.

However, the current Li Xiu can also understand.

After all, the circulation of gold and silver is difficult to ban in a short time.

The Heavenly Emperor Tongbao is too bulky, and if it involves a large transaction, the amount of copper coins required is even more astonishing.

Who would carry a lot of copper coins on their backs all day long?

I'm exhausted.

Therefore, folks are still accustomed to using broken silver and bank notes.

Before the Tang Dynasty's banknotes were released, gold and silver could not be banned in the true sense.

It seems that this time, after he returns to the palace.

It is necessary to order the Academy of Sciences to make breakthroughs in papermaking as soon as possible to popularize paper money all over the world.

"I didn't expect the two masters to be so generous. They really don't show their faces."

The smile on the stall owner's face grew brighter. Obviously, he could see that the person who sold the money was definitely not a real poor person.

"Stop talking nonsense and find the money quickly."

Cao Zhengchun said coldly.

He was quite frightened by Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

The stall owner hurriedly found a large sling of copper coins for Li Xiu and Cao Zhengchun.

Li Xiu took the copper coin.

Then he frowned.

"Boss, is there something wrong with the money?"

"What's the problem?"

The stall owner was stunned.

"This hanging money is not enough."

Li Xiu's expression was very serious, and he said: "Seventy percent of them are not Tiandi Tongbao issued by the imperial court. The weight and even the size are seriously substandard. These are bad coins. Strictly speaking, they are fake money!"

"Do you know what is the crime of using fake money?"

Who is Li Xiu?

Earth fairy.

Even if it was a mile away, if someone farted, he could hear it clearly.

Not to mention the authenticity of this mere drop of money.

"Guest officer, you are looking for trouble for nothing!"

The owner of the Sancunding stall put his hands on his hips, and his expression became displeased, "The streets and alleys of Chang'an City are full of such insignificant small money, do you want to report to the police and arrest all the people in Chang'an City?" Get up!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to take this three-inch man back first and torture him?"

Cao Zhengchun secretly sent a voice transmission to Li Xiu.

however.

at this time.

"Who is making trouble here!"

A policeman squeezed over and yelled loudly.

"My lord, someone deliberately found fault, saying that the small money in circulation in our hands is fake money!"
