Chapter 336 I Can't Look Down On Your Girl
Chapter 332

Wei Hao suggested to Li Shimin to fight the Japanese country, Li Shimin and the ministers all looked at Wei Hao in shock, wondering why Wei Hao suddenly proposed to fight the Japanese country?

"Shen Yong, what are you talking about? How can you start the war lightly?" Li Jing said to Wei Hao.

"Father-in-law, you don't understand. Now our Tang Dynasty is also facing a problem, that is, the problem of money circulation!" Wei Hao looked at Li Jing and said, and then looked at Li Shimin: "Father, just tell me how much money is needed for [-] yuan now?" Copper coins need to be loaded in several carts in a horse-drawn cart, which is too troublesome.

If there is silver, it can be stipulated that one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1 penny. In this case, 1 pennies are only a few hundred catties of silver, which saves a lot of money in the mansion, and it is also convenient to carry. What's more, You said, when we travel far away, it is very inconvenient to carry so many copper coins, but it is very convenient to carry some silver.
In addition, if there is gold, it will be even better. For example, one tael of gold can be exchanged for a catty of silver, and it can be exchanged for 16 coins. How good is this?At that time, bring 2 catties of gold, that is five or six hundred coins.This is very good for people to trade!And it also greatly reduced the copper coin consumption of my Datang! "

"Here, how can there be so much gold?" Li Shimin heard it, and looked at Wei Hao and said in embarrassment.

"That's right, there isn't that much gold!" Li Jing also looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Without gold, silver is fine. Look, this time the Wa Kingdom said that it would give us 1 catties of silver, which is worth 16 guan. The Wa Kingdom is really rich, but I heard that the Wa Kingdom is very Those who are rich in silver, if we control the Wa country, will we worry about not having any silver?" Wei Hao sat there and continued to talk to Li Shimin and the others.

"According to what you said, if someone finds silver, wouldn't they get rich?" Changsun Wuji said to Wei Hao.

"Are you kidding? All the silver mines belong to the state. Whoever mines silver and gold privately will be punished with death!" Sitting there, Wei Hao reminded Changsun Wuji with a sideways glance.

"Oh, according to what you said, if our court has several 10 taels of silver, how many millions of coins do we actually have?" Li Jing also asked Wei Hao.

"Theoretically, this is the case, but the silver cannot be released at will. For example, now that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has received 16 copper coins, it can release 1 catties of silver. If it does not receive so much Copper coins cannot be released. Once they are released, silver is worthless.
Ordinary people will not keep their eyes, but keep copper coins, so the release of silver should also be done according to the actual situation. For example, the court opened a special organization to control money, and the common people can use copper coins to pay for it. For exchange, you can also use silver to exchange copper coins, which is to control a price, one or two to the usual money,

In this institution, His Majesty cannot forcibly interfere with the use of the money in it. You can only borrow it, but it needs to be repaid, and you have to pay interest. Otherwise, the money here will not belong to the court, but to the people of the world. Well, after ten years, the common people will only use silver. Copper coins are only needed for the common people to buy small things, but no one will spare a lot! " Wei Hao said to Li Shimin and the others, and Li Shimin nodded.

"Then we can implement it now. Now I remember that there seem to be tens of thousands of catties of silver in the warehouse, but they are all used to make silverware!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"So much?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin in shock.

"Well, and the silver mine is also controlled by Chaotang!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"That's fine too. By the way, where's the gold? Is there a lot of gold?" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and asked.

"Not much, one or two thousand catties!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and said.

"That's not a lot, father, and you ministers, you really have to think about it. Use silver and gold to replace copper coins. Now that Tang Dynasty's business is very developed, it is very inconvenient to carry copper coins. There is another method, but it doesn’t work now, the people will definitely not believe it, it needs to be done step by step!” Wei Hao said while looking at Li Shimin and the ministers.

"Well, everyone needs to discuss this matter. It's really inconvenient. There are a lot of copper coins piled up in the internal funds. It's very inconvenient to use. You need to weigh them!" Li Shimin nodded and said to the ministers.

"Father, um, let's continue discussing the war against the Japanese country. It is worthwhile to fight the Japanese country. Although there are no good things in this place, there is silver. As long as we control this place, our thatched cottage will not lose the silver!" Wei Hao was still very excited. Said to Li Shimin excitedly.

"Are you kidding, we are fighting against the Japanese country. Now we are still facing the invasion of the north. The main opponent is also the north! Now that the powerful enemies in the north have not been dealt with, they are still attacking other countries? Goguryeo has always wanted to fight, but there is no way. Fight, Goguryeo has been expanding these years, and has invaded our interests in the northeast!

However, I know that Goguryeo has been in collusion with the Wa Kingdom, but now I can't spare my hand. If I can spare my hand, I want to clean them up.
In addition, when Emperor Sui Yang brought 30 troops to fight, a large number of soldiers died there, but unfortunately they were not recovered. If I want to fight Goguryeo, I will definitely need to recover the remains of those soldiers! "Li Shimin said to those ministers.

"Not now, we are still facing the pressure from the north and the northwest. The Tang Dynasty is only getting better this year. The court has money, and the soldiers' weapons and armor have just been replaced, and they haven't been completely replaced yet!" Li Jing Sitting there, he said to Li Shimin.

"Well, Your Majesty, the north is not afraid, we can deal with them. There is nothing good in the north, unless we continue to fight north, or even say, go to the Jieri Dynasty. The place of the Jieri Dynasty is good. It is a plain. If we It is also very good to be able to beat here!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"I know, but I heard that the Jieri Dynasty is very powerful. Our Tang army has never had contact with them. I heard that it is the country of Vientiane. Their elephants are used as war elephants, and they seem to be even stronger!" Li Shimin sat down. There, nodded and said.

"Strong wool, father, let's clean them up easily, father, you heard me right, let's fight the Japanese country!" Wei Hao continued to persuade Li Shimin.

"No, the conditions are not met now, not to mention other things, there are not many warships, how to fight, Japan needs to cross the ocean!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao, shaking his head.

"Father, it's okay, leave the warship to me, and I'll build it, as long as you agree to fight it." Wei Hao said to Li Shimin, patting his chest.Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao with a strange look: "I found out why you are so keen on fighting the Japanese country. Is it really because of Baiyin?"

"Well, really!" Wei Hao nodded affirmatively. The reason behind it must not be said, and no one would believe it if he said it, but he just wanted to hit them.

"Well, then you should prepare first. When our Datang is really strong, we can fight!" Li Shimin said to Wei Hao.

"Okay!" Hearing what he said, Wei Hao had no choice but to calm down and think about it. He really didn't meet this requirement. Now the warships of the Tang Dynasty couldn't reach the Wa country.

"Well, let's discuss this silver thing now, Shenyong, and you, go back tonight to sort out this silver thing. It is true that the amount of copper coins is too large, and it is inconvenient to carry. If you have enough silver, you can do it." Let them circulate in the market." Li Shimin said to Wei Hao again, and Wei Hao nodded when he heard it.

"Continue to come to court tomorrow!" Li Shimin continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Forget it, it's boring, I'll ask for leave!" Sitting there, Wei Hao said to Li Shimin.

"What leave do you ask for?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Hao and shouted annoyedly.

"I want to play mahjong with the old man, we have an appointment!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Play mahjong early in the morning?" Li Shimin shouted at Wei Hao angrily, isn't this deceiving himself?
"Ah, it doesn't take time to go to court. I will go back to court, and I will have lunch soon when I get home. I have nothing to do anyway, so I won't come. When I come, I will quarrel with them!" Wei Hao sat there, smiling Looking at Li Shimin, he said, "Li Shimin is so angry, this kid just doesn't want to come to court, a duke, he won't go to court!"

"Tomorrow is the knife, you have to come!" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Come as soon as you come, don't blame me when the old man scolds people!" Wei Hao looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said,
Li Shimin didn't want to talk to him anymore, and then chatted with those ministers about the court affairs, and Wei Hao also talked about it occasionally!
"The Ministry of Industry has a surplus this year. I heard that the Ministry of Industry now has a surplus of 5 yuan. It is going to give bonuses to the officials of the Ministry of Industry and those in Tiefang!" Dai Zhou Sitting there, he said to Li Shimin.

"No, I'm talking about Dai Shangshu. The Ministry of Industry hasn't paid bonuses for many years. It's the first time this year. How dare you say so?" Wei Hao sat there and said to Dai Zhou, the top Dai Zhou didn't even have one. In other words, he just looked at Wei Hao speechlessly.

"That's not the case. The Ministry of Industry has just started to pay bonuses when it has money. Doesn't the Ministry of Civil Affairs have to pay more?" Wei Zheng immediately asked Wei Hao.

"You can send it, as long as His Majesty agrees, as long as you are willing, return the bonus to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not know how much it owes, so give the bonus!" Wei Hao said to Wei Zheng with contempt.

"Wei Shenyong, we have paid back the money owed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Dai Zhou immediately shouted emphatically.

"Did I say this? How many things have not been done by the Ministry of Civil Affairs? You can talk about it yourself. The roads have not been repaired, the water conservancy facilities in various places have not been repaired, and there are not many schools. The common people do something, I will not talk about the transfer of money before,

Just say this year, how much surplus does the Ministry of Civil Affairs have, what are you going to do with the surplus money, keep it in the warehouse, and then distribute it to your officials, what are you kidding?Can't that money be used to do things? " Li Shimin continued to yell at Dai Zhou and the others.

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is already building roads, and the reservoir is also under preparation, and it will definitely start up next year!" Dai Zhou blushed angrily, staring at Wei Hao and shouted.

"Cut, what about the start-up money? If you don't have the money, let's start later. This delay is another year. This year, Chang'an suffered from drought. If there are a lot of reservoirs, it can still be done like that. If I didn't make it How much food will never be harvested, you said to yourself?

I'm ashamed to talk about the money distribution. The Ministry of Industry has done a lot of things this year. Not to mention other things, the stove was made by others, the weapons were made by others, and the water dragon was also made by others. I won't talk about other things. After working hard for a year, can't they share some money?

You didn't do anything, and you just said you want to share the money, so why don't you go to the Ministry of Industry? You look down on craftsmen, but you don't know that craftsmen are the most important people in the court! "Wei Hao sat there and said to them with contempt.

"Artisans are supposed to work. Could it be that we scholars are not as good as those craftsmen?" Wei Zheng looked at Wei Hao and shouted in disbelief.

"Compare with me. I don't study, and I can't write with a brush. Let's compare. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. Let's bet that the two of us will govern a county. See whose county has more money, and whose The county is well-governed, really, and you are still stubborn with me,
You are studying, but craftsmen are no worse than you. On the contrary, they should be rewarded. Without them, you still want to live so conveniently, dreaming! Sitting there, Wei Hao still looked at Wei Zheng with contempt and said.

"Hmph, ignorant and incompetent, the world has long since come to a conclusion, scholar, farmer, businessman."

"Don't tell me this, it's you scholars. In order to show your status, you have always emphasized that the status of craftsmen and businessmen is inferior to others. The reason why you rank farmers in front is because you are afraid of starving to death and those ordinary people. Breakfast, after all, there are more people farming!
But do you really take care of the farmers?Um?Now the children of peasants have no way to study, so you find a way to produce books, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs opens a school, open it?And the businessman, what happened to the businessman?The businessman robbed your money? "Wei Hao sat there and said very unhappy.

"Businessmen seek profit!"

"Bullshit, what's wrong with being a scholar? How should I say it?"

"A businessman exploits the people?"

"Your family doesn't employ servants, how much do you pay them, usually a month?".
Wei Hao quickly started arguing with those people. Li Shimin just sat there and watched. Wei Hao's words had an impact on him. He had never thought about this before, but now he heard Wei Hao say so. Said, it seems to make sense.

"Businessmen seek profit, for profit..."

"Can I have some new words, just this sentence, what are businessmen chasing after profit? They don't make money to give you things? They transport vegetables from the south, how much tax they have to pay along the way, and how much risk they have to take along the way. What if they get here? If you can’t sell it, but still throw it in your own hands, then according to what you mean, there is no need for merchants, and everyone doesn’t want to buy things, just eat the grain grown by their own homes. The whole Tang Dynasty doesn’t need money, it needs money Why, there are no merchants, what are you spending money on?" Wei Hao continued to refute those ministers.

"Okay, okay, don't say it!" Li Shimin saw Wei Hao standing against so many people by himself, and his face was red when he was fighting, so he immediately stopped. He was afraid that he would go out to fight one-on-one again later.

"Father, those people just don't see how others are good, and they still think about the scholars every day. Yes, the scholars were very good before. There is no way. There are no books. They are all books controlled by the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family wants to let their status surpass Above the common people, of course it is said that scholars are great,
It is not good to say that merchants are not good. How many people in their scholars' families are secretly doing business? There are many people in the aristocratic family who are doing business. They are very profitable. If you have the ability, your aristocratic family should not do business. You should study. If so , I, Wei Shenyong, convincing you, scolding businessmen while doing businessman's business, only you scholars can do it, I just look down on you guys who are sanctimonious, what are you pretending, who doesn't know who? " Wei Hao still said to those people with contempt.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Wei Hao!"

"Impeachment, Wei Zheng, why don't you impeach Wei Hao just because you have nothing to do, and you can't talk anymore?" Just as Wei Zheng was about to impeach Wei Hao, Wei Hao pushed him back with words, and then Wei Hao continued: "I'm right. , you will impeach me?"

"That's enough, don't say any more, that's it!" Li Shimin continued to yell, Wei Hao picked up the teacup and finished it. He was still a little thirsty after arguing with them just now.
Li Shimin continued to pour tea for Wei Hao, Wei Hao continued to drink, and then Wei Hao said: "Father, I will come by myself, I am thirsty, if you keep pouring tea for me, then I will be guilty!"

"Well, pour it yourself!" Li Shimin gave the cup of justice to Wei Hao, and then said to Wei Hao: "You said that you can even quarrel with others while sitting here, don't you? Hey!"

Li Shimin originally wanted to say whether you were free, but held back, after all, it was a bit bad to say so.

"I said I won't come, but you want me to come, Father, I won't come tomorrow!" Wei Hao said, looking at Li Shimin aggrieved.

"Aren't you going to try?" Li Shimin stared at Wei Hao fiercely, Wei Hao was very helpless, he really didn't want to come, but there was no way, Li Shimin refused.

"Okay, let's talk about it first, let's not quarrel tomorrow, I'll just sleep, you talk about yours, and Wei Zheng, don't stare at me if you have nothing to do, I didn't spoil your daughter, what are you doing? "Wei Hao sat there, finished talking to those ministers, then looked at Wei Zheng and said.

"You, you, old man! Old man!" Hearing what Wei Hao said, Wei Zheng pointed at Wei Hao angrily, unable to speak, what is this called?
"Oh, that's fine, just an analogy! I still look down on your daughter!" Wei Hao waved his hands and said with a smile.
