Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"what idea?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

Princess Xiangcheng also looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

But at this moment, she couldn't hold back anymore, her long legs were clamped tightly.

"Do you know how much the usual money is?"

Fang Yuan asked.

"I don't know."

The father and daughter looked at each other, shook their heads and said.

The two of them have never touched copper coins, so they don't know how heavy they are.

"8 pounds!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"and then?"

Li Shimin blinked and asked in confusion.

He didn't understand why Fang Yuan asked this.

"One guan is 8 catties, the 60 guan you just brought in is 480 catties!"

"It's a little far away, and the roads are not easy to walk. It's very inconvenient to carry a mere 60 guan."

Fang Yuan continued.

"really!"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

He also felt that a little more money would not be easy to transport.

Only 60 guan, it took a lot of effort to bring it.

But he still didn't know what Fang Yuan wanted to express.

"Now Liaozhou has gathered ten commercial firms and opened more than ten factories. There will definitely be more in the future."

"This kind of copper coins greatly affects the transactions between each other, which is not conducive to the development of Liaozhou, and is not conducive to the future economic development of Datang."

"I thought, if a banknote can be made at this time, which is equivalent to the value of copper coins, is it easy to carry, is it easy to trade, and will it accelerate economic development?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He has long had the idea of ​​making paper money.

But the timing was premature and there was no official backing.

Private banknotes are not bad, but the risk is relatively high.

"Paper money?!"

Li Shimin said in surprise.

He was shocked, shocked by Fang Yuan's unrestrained imagination.

How did you come up with all this, and you can even think of paper money instead of copper coins?

"Yes, paper money!"

"At that time, there will be a bank to facilitate the exchange of banknotes and copper coins."

Fang Yuan looked deeply at Li Daye, said in a deep voice.

The idea of ​​banknotes and banknotes is a product of the development of the times.

When the germination of capital occurs, copper coins are destined to be unable to satisfy transactions between people.

"Inspector Fang, I have to admire your thinking."

"But banknotes are a big deal, and I advise you to think carefully."

Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, and said in a deep voice.

From Fang Yuan's words, he already knew that banknotes are easy to carry.

But it is about the lifeline of the imperial court's money, and it is impossible to make a decision in a few words.

"That's why I told you that I hope you can speak to the emperor."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"You...do you have anything to convince the emperor?"

Li Shimin wanted to refuse.

But seeing Fang Yuan's eyes, he changed the way of saying it.

"First, people's portraits are printed on banknotes. They can be emperors, emperors, etc. They must be people with glorious images. With the promotion and use of banknotes, people will remember them, and it is not an exaggeration to have a long history. .”

"Secondly, paper money does not replace copper money, but an additional way of using it. It is called Datang Baochao. People can use copper money if they want to use copper money, and use paper money if they want to use paper money. Exchange at equal value without interfering with each other."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"I... can really live a long history?"

Li Shimin was so excited that he almost revealed his identity.

Only he himself knows how much he wants to live forever.

He was unwilling to mention the stain of Xuanwumen in his life, so he wanted to make more achievements to cover it up.

He hopes that when the descendants of future generations mention him, they will be full of admiration in their hearts, instead of thinking about the change of Xuanwu Gate.

If the banknotes mentioned by Fang Yuan can print people's portraits, even if he is a hundred years later, as long as the banknotes are still used, then he will still be remembered by people.

This is countless times better than doing countless policies that benefit the country and the people!

"nature!"

"History books will record a strong stroke!"

"Because banknotes are greater than copper coins, they accelerate the economic development of the times and facilitate people's livelihood!"

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

"What do you need me to do?"

Li Shimin's breathing became short of breath.

He imagined the place of paper money in history.

In the next few thousand years, mankind should remember him as the Emperor.

The introduction of banknotes accelerated economic development and facilitated people's livelihood.

I am afraid that the pacification of Eastern Turks will not have such a far-reaching impact as the introduction of banknotes.

"First, ask the emperor to allow me to set up a banknote bureau and provide the portraits on the banknotes."

"Second, ask the emperor to give me the privilege to print, distribute, etc. alone, so as to prevent problems such as counterfeiting and imitation."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The emergence of the Treasure Banknote Bureau will affect the interests of countless people.

At that time, not only the aristocratic family, but also the princes and generals will probably stare at him.

Only by determining the orthodox position, controlling the core technology of paper money, and cracking down on counterfeit money can the risk be reduced.

Of course, Fang Yuan will not promote it all over the country at once, but start from Liaozhou City, and gradually lead it out from major commercial firms.

"no problem!"

"But I also have one condition."

Li Shimin pondered for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Please say."

Fang Yuan was not surprised, said in a deep voice.

"The emperor has the right to view all information."

"And only the Liaozhou City family is allowed to be in your charge."

"Afterwards, treasure bank notes bureaus will be opened anywhere, and the household department will be in charge."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Although he was excited, he was still awake.

Important things have to be controlled by the court and cannot be released too much.

"can!"

"But the technology is not public!"

"And I charge [-]% of the profit every year!"

Fang Yuan has no opinion.

He never thought of controlling the treasure banknote bureau across the country.

In this era, he is just a governor.

Before he became a giant crocodile, he would be dealt with if he was too greedy.

"Is there still profit?"

Li Shimin was surprised again.

"nature."

"You'll know then."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Printing money is one thing, but also providing loans to collect interest and so on.

It is equivalent to the banks of later generations, how could there be no profit?

"it is good!"

"Then I'll wait and see!"

"The next time I come, it's time to bring you the imperial decree and human head portrait!"

Li Shimin was very excited.

At the same time, I look forward to the next time I come.

At that time, he gave Fang Yuan his avatar and told him that he was the emperor.

Hahaha... Fang Yuan's expression will be very interesting then, right?

"Very good!"

Fang Yuan has no opinion.

He also knows that there are many things going on in the court.

There will be no problem in alienating Shuofang, but there are still risks in attacking East Turks.

Although the history records that the Eastern Turks were wiped out, there will be great changes in the blink of an eye.

The imperial court didn't know the historical records, so they could understand how cautious they were.

"That... Fang Inspector, is there a toilet?"

Princess Xiangcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted.

Just like last time, I never went to the toilet after passing the station.

Arriving at Fang Yuan's place, the tea was so delicious that he couldn't help but drink more again.

"Yes, I will have someone take you there."

Fang Yuan nodded, and waved to the state officials in the distance.

"Thank you."
