Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Made myself a cup of tea, Li Ke is no longer in Tai Chi Palace, he is now in a shopping mall, he is looking at the information sent by Tian Meng in his hand, tomorrow will be the bidding meeting of Datang Everbright City, so Li Ke this morning Just ran out of the palace.

There is no need to worry in the palace, Li Tai is helping to keep an eye on it, tomorrow is the rest time, and the day after tomorrow is the court meeting, so there is no rush at this time.

"Have they all come?" Li Ke asked.

"They're all here. All the families who participated in the meeting last time transported a large amount of copper coins into Chang'an City. According to the situation we collected in Luoyang and other nearby big cities, many people have already made The decision to bid for the Everbright City of the Tang Dynasty." Tian Meng said in a respectful tone.

Li Ke nodded. It's not surprising that these people made this decision. They just lack vision, but they don't lack brains. They know more about what kind of business can make money than others.

"These people are really rich." Li Ke was extremely emotional.

What he held in his hand was the analysis report made by Tian Meng and others. According to the information Tian Meng and the others had, the amount of copper coins entering Chang'an City alone was close to 4000 million guan!If converted into copper coins, it would be close to 400 billion coins!How much inventory did these people dig out?

The background of these powerful families that have been passed down for hundreds of years is really terrifying.

Tian Meng and the others didn't speak. To be honest, when they calculated this number, they also felt a little scary. Although they all knew that His Highness had close to 1200 million guan in his hand, this number is already very large, but the powerful family casually You can take out 4000 million guan, this is pure money!

Because His Highness said, don't use silk and other cloth to offset, just money and food, and they can't bring food all the way to Chang'an, that would be too much of a loss.

Therefore, only copper coins entered Chang'an City.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the poorest thing is the treasury, or the money in the treasury is the least.

Li Ke looked at the information in his hand, and was really moved. This is real cash, and this does not count the food, silk and other funds in the hands of the aristocratic family. One can imagine how rich these people are!

Don't doubt the total amount of this number. Everyone thinks that Datang currently uses silk as currency, and Datang does not have enough Kaiyuan Tongbao to cast and use. There is not enough copper coins among the people. It seems unrealistic to have this number of copper coins.

That's because, using silk, silk, and cloth as currency is beneficial to the powerful family!They can be said to be equivalent to "making money" at any time, which is much less loss than casting copper coins, so of course they are unwilling to take out the money.

Is there any money in the world?Of course there is!

In the 400-year history of the Han Dynasty, almost all dynasties and dynasties have been minting money. There was even the first example in the history of the Han Dynasty that good coins were used to drive out bad coins. It was the only time in the entire ancient history. , the peak population is close to 400 million, and there is no shortage of copper coins.

It is conceivable how many copper coins there are in the world. The following dynasties have never stopped minting coins. According to Li Shimin's statistics from the royal books of the past dynasties in the Hongwen Museum, there are at least hundreds of millions of copper coins in the world.

Li Ke made a compromise and calculated 1 million coins, which is almost 1000 billion copper coins. According to the calculation of about 4.2 grams in grams cast by Datang Kaiyuan Tongbao, it is already 42 tons of copper.

Although this is a drizzle compared to the amount of copper used in later generations, it is not a small number for ancient times.

Hey, poor, after all, the silver taels of compensation for later generations of the Qing Dynasty are all in units of [-] million, hey.

As for how Tian Meng and the others calculated it, it was actually calculated based on the number of these carriages pulling copper coins entering Chang'an City. There is an approximate figure for how many copper coins a carriage can pull. You only need to calculate how many You will know when the carriage reaches Chang'an City.

Although the calculated figure is an approximate figure, even this figure is not very accurate, because the things brought by many powerful families are not only copper coins, but also silver and gold, because the storage of copper coins is easy to cause rot and other results. Without good storage conditions, it is not as valuable as gold and silver.

And the amount of gold held by Chinese folks from ancient times to the present has always been very large.

Of course, it is impossible for so many copper coins to be Kaiyuan Tongbao. The entire Tang Dynasty did not produce so many Kaiyuan Tongbao.However, it was written in the secret note that Li Ke left to these aristocratic families last time that copper coins from any dynasty are acceptable, including bronze.

When converted into Kaiyuan Tongbao, only [-]% of the loss is required.

Regarding this choice, all the families remained silent. They knew what Li Ke wanted copper coins for, and they also knew why Li Ke still accepted these copper coins from other dynasties, and they could exchange them with only [-]% of the loss.

Of course, it is because the current Tang Dynasty is short of money. After this wave is withdrawn, it is estimated that His Highness will soon reform the currency system of Datang.

This is not something difficult to guess in the speculation of various powerful families.

But they don't care, the money will be returned to them soon after being taken out. Although they don't understand modern economics, they do understand the principle that money circulates.

Even if the currency is reformed, it is nothing more than that they earn less from the production of silk and silk, but what should be theirs is still theirs, and these people are not in a hurry.

Of course, the point is that there is no use in rushing.

Now that the national power of the Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, no one will fight against the royal family at this time, the key point is to fight against the mighty Tian Khan, His Majesty Li Shimin.

If you don't make mistakes, Li Shimin has no way to deal with them, these aristocratic families, but if you make mistakes yourself, then don't blame His Majesty for swinging the knife.

If His Majesty just killed one family, no one would resist. Everyone understands the truth.

It is impossible for any passenger not to care about the sinking of the ship, because when the ship sinks, everyone will die, but when there are several lifeboats on the ship, that is another matter.

So although some things were foreseen, they didn't stop them, or they couldn't stop them.

"Has the embossing machine been cast?" Li Ke asked looking at the information in his hand.

"In terms of service life, it can't compare with the embossing machine you brought out, Your Highness, but we can already cast it. At present, we have produced ten coin production lines, and each production line can cast 4 coins per day." Tian Meng said An exciting figure, "We can mint 40 brand new coins every day."

Tian Meng was excited, but Li Ke didn't have any waves in his heart. Are you excited with 40 a day?In the mint of later generations, a coin casting machine can stamp 4.2 coins in an hour, and 100 million coins in a day!And it's just a stamping machine.
