Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"In this way, the pressure on sea transportation will be reduced, the amount of goods delivered will also increase, and the centripetal force of the people newly included in the territory of Koryo will also increase, killing three birds with one stone!"

Zhang Nuo finally explained the matter eloquently, and he was quite proud after he finished speaking, after all, he had really considered this matter quite thoroughly.

But when he looked at the people next to him proudly, he found that everyone was frowning, as if they were thinking about something, not at all like they were "shocked" by him just now.

What are the meanings of this? Could it be that you guys are still not satisfied with such an amazing arrangement, is this requirement too high?

Chapter 757 Zhang Nuo's follow-up arrangements

Li Shimin is the most familiar with Zhang Nuo among this group of people, so even if others don't know, he just looked up and saw Zhang Nuo's expression and he understood, well, this guy's dog temper has come up again.

Li Shimin knew clearly that despite Zhang Nuo's reputation outside, he was indeed a capable person without airs, but only his closest friends knew that Zhang Nuo actually had a dog temper.

That is, once something goes wrong, you don't care about it, or you can't say you don't care about it, it can only be said that you make a fuss when your heart is not going well, which means that you don't work hard.

But you can't say anything about him, because so far, Zhang Nuo actually only has the title of King Qin, and the fief is only a small piece of Lantian City.

There are no other official positions or anything. Even Goryeo, even though Pyongyang City is about to become Zhang Nuo's own, but in fact, he is just helping Li Shimin manage it.

So far, he has not obtained any specific official seal documents. That is to say, whether he is currently managing Korea, the Navy, or even the Air Force, it is actually just everyone's agreement that he is him.

The military rank is of course true. No one dares to make fun of it. As the founder of the two military branches, he is naturally qualified to wear the rank of general. But if you want to talk about his specific position, what is it like a principal or a general? But he said it all himself, and Li Shimin also verbally agreed, and then everyone called him that.

But in fact, in the official position system of the imperial court, the only record for Zhang Nuo at present is "Zhang Nuo, male, born in Chang'an, granted the title of first-class prince, titled Qin, and granted the land of Lantian City!"

Except for this one, everything else is gone, that is to say, the only position of Zhang Nuo that is truly legally recognized by Datang is the King of Qin.

Of course, it's not that Li Shimin and the others want to cheat Zhang Nuo, but that Zhang Nuo is unwilling to live or die, just kidding, you really got him into that official position, is that the kind of thing that belongs to me, and you can't get rid of it.

Zhang Nuo's dream is to be a salted fish that eats food, sleeps well, and lives a good life. It's not impossible to work hard for Datang for system tasks and some cynic thoughts in his heart. Many people call it.

But if this matter becomes a permanent official position, doesn't that mean that he will have to work hard day and night?

Look at those courtiers of Li Shimin, regardless of whether they are high-ranking or low-level officials, which one is not so busy on weekdays?

That's why Zhang Nuo didn't go into this muddy water, there was nothing he could do with the time.

As for changing the Tang Dynasty, whether it is to practice one's own creed, isn't it doing well now? Although there is no serious imperial decree, is it possible that Zhang Nuo's words are not useful in Lantian City or Pyongyang City? up?

Therefore, it is precisely for this reason that Zhang Nuo's temperament is extraordinarily unrestrained, he will not intentionally make things difficult for anyone, and he will not make fun of big things, but if you think it depends on him, he Absolutely pull away immediately and leave without any delay.

Li Shimin knew that this was the situation in front of him, Zhang Nuo didn't know how he was stimulated just now, this is the top again, alas, what should be persuaded must be persuaded!

"Brother, what's the matter, are you in a bad mood? I've thought of something bothering you. Tell your brother, and he will do his best to solve it for you!"

Zhang Nuo was originally a little angry, but after seeing Lao Li's cautious expression, it dissipated almost instantly, and it was not a big deal at first.

It’s nothing more than being like a bear kid who would make a fuss if he didn’t get praise for something beautiful. Seeing Lao Li like this, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt that he had lost his mind and went crazy, otherwise, why would he really be with a bear? Like a child, he loses his temper when no one praises him.

It's not that Zhang Nuo has lost his temper. It's common for him to get angry even bigger than this, but what embarrassed him today was that the reason for his anger seemed a little nonsense.

Is it because I haven't vented the fire recently and caused the anger to be too strong?That shouldn't be the case, he seems to be living a harmonious life!

It seems that Lao Li was scared, no matter what, he is an emperor, he is careful to please himself in front of so many ministers, alas, I really wronged Lao Li.

However, grievances are grievances, and you can't lose face. What happened just now is so unspoken, so you have to quickly find an excuse to get over it.

However, Zhang Nuo had a good brain, so he thought of a good way.

"Old Li, I was actually thinking about something just now. You just asked me, so let's discuss it together!"

Then Zhang Nuo turned to look at the crowd and said loudly,

"You should understand that when this ore is dug out of the ground, at least [-]% to [-]% must be discarded to smelt it into unprocessed rough ingots, and then half of it may be sacrificed to make silver. Therefore, this king feels that we Do we have to build a primary processing workshop over the mining area!"

"The ore is directly smelted on the spot and made into rough ingots first. In this way, the transportation capacity between Busan and the mining area can be increased several times!"

"At the same time, it saves a lot of effort to transport such rough ingots from Busan Port to Pyongyang. Moreover, this king has another idea. There are more and more large-scale transactions in the market, and there will be more and more places where silver will be used in the future. More and more, it's time for us to arrange to mint new coins!"

When everyone heard this, they finally understood what Zhang Nuo was going to do. This was tantamount to fully liberating Datang's capacity, not to mention intervening in the market.

Nowadays, copper coins are getting cheaper and cheaper in the market, but the price of silver is slowly increasing, because merchants are annoyed by all kinds of large sums of copper coins.

After all, after a purchase, the goods are only half a carload away, but the copper coins received are one or two carloads, and it takes a long time to count them. Naturally, I am not happy about it. How convenient is the silver money? You can buy it with the silver coins in a small bag A lot of goods.

It is precisely this growing demand that has led to a gradual increase in the price of silver. After all, there are not many silver mines in Datang. Not only are the reserves not rich, but it is also extremely difficult to mine.

But as long as the silver mine in Fusang is put into operation, it goes without saying that the price of silver will be brought down immediately.

But these coins cannot enter the market indiscriminately. The market must have a process of acceptance, and at the same time, the economic impact must be taken into consideration.

So in Zhang Nuo's view, this is actually the best time to implement the new currency. Once the new currency stabilizes, all kinds of messy transactions in the market will be regulated.

Chapter 758 An Embarrassing Coin

Zhang Nuo's thoughts were like this sometimes, as soon as he thought about it, he thought about it, and he was obviously talking about war, but he turned to minting new coins while talking.

But you still can't say that he is wrong, because this matter is indeed related to this battle.

After all, to put it bluntly, this battle was mainly fought in such a hurry because Datang was short of money.

But the topic that Zhang Nuo just mentioned is a bit confusing. In fact, there is no need to discuss with the court about minting coins. Privately coined.

Then why do you have to say this to the court?

If all the rough ingots in Pyongyang are re-smelted and processed, and the silver coins minted by the Qin Palace are used to pay Datang to Datang, then just do it directly, and Datang would like to do this.

This is not a rare thing, even Li Shimin himself did this kind of thing in the early years, this is actually a money-making business, nothing more than the court handing over the silver ore to a certain prince nearby.
