Datang Nongwang

Chapter 578 The Late Gift

There is a saying.

Once Li Chongyuan has an idea, he must practice it.

This is not.

On the same day, Li Chongyuan returned to the County Marquis Mansion after paying a share of everyone's bonus in the Yingbin Building, locked himself in his room, and began to write about the plans for the gold and silver tickets.

And this time.

Wan'er, who has been waiting for the dividends at her family's house, has never seen her fourth brother come back. She sat at the gate of her family's mansion angrily, looking at the square gate in the direction of the street, muttering something.

"Bad fourth brother, smelly fourth brother, the one who promised to give me dividends has not come back yet, he must have lied to me, for sure." The words Wan'er could say were nothing more than blaming Li Chongyuan for not keeping his promise up.

What was said in Li Zhuang is good, and now I have returned to Chang'an, and the bonus has not been seen yet.

If it weren't for the old lady restricting her from leaving the house to go crazy, this girl would have chased after Li Chongyuan for a bonus.

The little girl was sitting at the gate of the family's mansion, thinking that when Li Chongyuan came back, she had to have a good talk.

but.

But she didn't know that her fourth brother would not come back today.

This is not.

The day started to get dark, and when the Jingjie drum rang, the little girl pouted and stomped her feet bitterly, "Smelly fourth brother, you wait for me, I will definitely make you look good tomorrow."

At this time, Li Chongyuan really didn't know that this girl was so persistent about her dividend.

If she really found out, she might have to spend some money to get rid of this little girl, or even hand over the bonus money to the old lady for safekeeping, so as not to cause this girl to start messing around when she gets the money.

"Wan'er, isn't today's dinner delicious? Did you follow your fourth brother to eat delicious food every day in Lizhuang, and you can't swallow these dishes when you get home?" During dinner, Li Chongji looked at the food on the table. Wan'er looked sullen, pawing around with chopsticks.

Wan'er glanced at her elder brother, but didn't say a word, and continued to lower her head, picking up the food in the bowl.

The old lady was a little displeased, "Eat well."

The old lady spoke, Wan'er could only feel unhappy, and hurriedly put the food into her mouth.

early morning.

Li Chongyuan got up early in the morning, ran around the cultivation workshop for a few times, and then returned to the mansion.

Li Chongyuan, who had just returned to the mansion, not long after, left with the plan he wrote last night.

"Xiao Langjun, do you want to enter the palace?" Xingba asked on the way.

Li Chongyuan was questioned by Xingbayi, and nodded, "Well, I have something to go to the palace. No, it's the time to go to court, and I won't be able to see the Holy Majesty even if I go now. Forget it, let's go at noon."

As soon as Li Chongyuan remembered that it was still the time to go to court, he probably would not see anyone except Empress Changsun when he entered the palace at this time.

For his matter, it is useless to find Empress Changsun, only Li Shimin can get results.

As for whether he can do it or not, Li Chongyuan has no idea, but he really hopes that the plan he wrote last night can catch Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Chongyuan, who had nowhere to go, didn't want to go to his home, nor did he want to go to the Yingbin Building.

finally.

Li Chongyuan still headed towards Miyagi.

After a thorough investigation, Li Chongyuan entered the palace.

When Li Chongyuan entered the palace, he went directly to see Li Yuan, and even asked Li Yuan to take a good look at his plan and give him a suggestion.

"Yuan'er, you wrote this plan? According to your plan, isn't this financial system too radical? Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for paper to replace copper coins. Yuan'er , your plan looks good, but for such a grand plan, I am afraid that it will not work to restrict copper coins and other forms of currency by issuing official documents from the imperial court." After reading Li Chongyuan's plan, Li Yuan felt very sad. Satisfied, but the head is shaking loudly.

Li Chongyuan knew that his plan was very pampering.

But no matter how big it is, if the currency is not reformed, it will be hard and troublesome for me in the future.

As far as Li Chongyuan's money distribution is concerned, it's really not a star.

Just like the dividends from the Yingbin Building this time.

And that's just four people.

If it was really divided into ten people, then Li Chongyuan would have to work for three days to finish dividing the money.

Four thousand coins per person does not seem like much.

However, if they were all in the form of copper coins, a basket could only hold thirty guan coins at most.

For four thousand coins, if you use baskets alone, you have to hold almost 130 four baskets.

Each carriage, no matter whether it was an ox cart, or even a donkey cart, could only hold five baskets, and the extra frame would not be able to bear it, and it could not carry such a heavy load for a long time.

With such a weight and such a sum of money, Li Chongyuan really didn't want to do it again.

Even if Li Chongyuan did not do these things, it would take a lot of time and effort.

After listening to Li Yuan's words, Li Chongyuan shook his head helplessly, "Uncle, if the currency does not change, it will be difficult for the country to develop. Think about it, the people in Chang'an City, every time they go out to buy something, or go to the West Market to pick When I buy something I like, I have to carry a basket and put a few coins in the basket. Although everyone has no idea now, if the value of the goods is really high, or there are too many things, this will go back and forth again Several times. Therefore, my nephew thinks that the currency is changed into paper form, which is convenient to carry and does not take up space.”

"Yuan'er, your thinking is too simple. The matter of coins is not as simple as you think. The court is easy to say, but this family, gentry, and clans in various places don't want their money to become A few pieces of paper. Besides, even if the imperial court imposes restrictions on official documents, the common people will not feel at ease after they get these papers." Li Yuan shook his head, talking about various possibilities.

After hearing this, Li Chongyuan understood.

but.

If the currency is not reformed, society will not develop rapidly.

Li Chongyuan knows.

The earliest banknotes were Feiqian in the Tang Dynasty, and then Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty.

Then to the treasure banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, and then to the banknotes, treasure banknotes, and official notes of the Qing Dynasty. Official notes are silver notes, and money notes.

And these banknotes were promoted very well at the beginning, but after a large number of banknotes were printed, they eventually became a piece of waste paper.

It was not until the silver dollar appeared that this really passed a dark period.

When the new country was established.

The country has stepped up its advancement in paper currency, abolishing both silver and copper coins.

Later, the implementation of banknotes of several generations gradually made the country no longer use any precious metals as currency, which also greatly accelerated the progress of society.

Li Chongyuan was helpless.

But no matter how helpless he was, he had to hand over this plan to Li Shimin, even if it was a hit.

Li Yuan's persuasion could not stop him from Li Chongyuan's idea, and Li Yuan also knew that as long as Li Chongyuan had an idea, he was usually very determined.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan.

He has his own thinking, has his own ideas.

Li Chongyuan didn't want to think about the outcome, since the proposal had not yet been handed over. Anyway, he couldn't make the decision. He just wanted to express some of his opinions to Li Shimin.

Cheng, of course the best.

If it doesn't work, then treat yourself as a waste of time.

After the court meeting ended, Li Chongyuan bid farewell to Li Yuan, and went to find Li Shimin with the plan.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan was unwilling to give up until the Yellow River, Li Yuan could only look at the ocean and sigh.

As soon as Li Chongyuan saw Li Shimin, he directly handed his plan to Li Shimin without saying a word.

The result.

As Li Yuan said, this matter cannot and cannot be done.

finally.

Li Chongyuan left the palace with a disappointed expression.

Li Shimin in the palace was not in the mood to deal with official business at this time, so he kept flipping through Li Chongyuan's financial reform plan.

When I see a good place, I will pat the table heavily and shout good.

Li Shimin would still yell at Li Chongyuan for not knowing what to do when something was not to his liking, or when it was not in line with the current situation.

blink of an eye.

There are only three days left before Chinese New Year.

Zong Zhengzheng had already sent people to the residences of the Li family's relatives to inform them of the New Year's Eve in advance.

Simultaneously.

According to the annual regular system, the palace also rewarded some noble families with some things.

these days.

Li Chongyuan has been living in his own mansion, and never went back to his home.

And today.

Li Chongyuan returned to his family.

When Li Chongyuan's carriage arrived in front of the main gate, he saw a small figure sitting at the gate.

Before the carriage stopped, the little figure went straight to Li Chongyuan who got off the carriage angrily, "Smelly fourth brother, bad fourth brother, you lied to me! Did you steal all my bonus money? I have spent all my bonus money in the past few days. I don’t care, it’s my money, if you don’t give it to me, I will never let you go today.”

Okay.

Li Chongyuan really didn't expect that this girl would find him just now when he returned to his home.

"Fourth brother, when will I need to be greedy for your money? Besides, Auntie has confessed that your money will be kept by Auntie. At most, I can only give you ten pennies. If you give too much, I am afraid that Auntie will beat you up." What about me." Li Chongyuan saw that the girl was holding on to his clothes so tightly that she couldn't even break free, he felt helplessly tight.

Wan'er didn't let go, raised her little head, very angry, "fourth brother, you still lie to me now, you started to lie to me in Lizhuang. Mom didn't say anything, but I asked yesterday, and mother said, you want a bonus I'll ask you for the money, and she won't take care of it."

Huh.

There is trouble.

Li Chongyuan didn't expect that the old lady didn't care about this.

This is a direct slap in the face.

This is also my own fault, I didn't discuss it with A Niang first.

Okay.

Now that the little girl caught her, it seemed that she wanted to escape, but it was probably hopeless.

But at this time, the butler came to Li Chongyuan's side and whispered in his ear: "Little lord, the old madam is helpless because of the little lady, so that's why I said that. Little lord, the old lady confessed, this You must stabilize the matter, this money, I really can’t give it to the little lady. Also, the little lady has been waiting for you here for the past few days, you have to hold on. "

Ok?
When Li Chongyuan heard what the housekeeper said, he felt even more bitter.

The little girl started to entangle herself again after entanglement with the old lady.

If I don't appease this little girl today, I won't be able to survive this year.

"Wan'er, let go first, and fourth brother I won't run away. Fourth brother I remember the matter of money, fourth brother has been very busy these days, and there is no time to come back. Let's not talk about money, you didn't read What's next, let's give A Niang a gift first." Li Chongyuan continued to break free, but he still didn't break away from the little girl and grabbed his hand.

There is no way.

Li Chongyuan could only take a moment to relax, pointing to the three very beautiful carriages on the street, hoping to fool this little girl first.

When Wan'er heard the carriage, she raised her eyes and looked not far away, "The carriage is ready? Why don't I know."

After much difficulty, the little girl finally let go of her hand, and walked towards the three carriages.

"You go crazy and play everywhere in Lizhuang every day. How do you know about the carriages? See, it took me a lot of effort to build these carriages. The small one , that is fourth brother, I asked Lao Xu and the others to customize it for you." Li Chongyuan pointed to the smallest one among the three carriages.

When the little girl heard that she had a carriage of her own, she immediately got excited and climbed into the carriage, "Fourth brother, it's so warm and comfortable. Is this carriage really mine? Fourth brother, you didn't lie to me?"

"I lied to you. Among the three, one is a gift we promised to give to my mother last year. But we only gave it this year, which is really late. The other one is for my sister-in-law. As you can see, my sister-in-law has I'm pregnant, and it's inconvenient to travel, so I specially asked Lao Xu and the others to build one more. How about it, are you satisfied with this carriage." Li Chongyuan said with a smile.

Wan'er sat in the carriage, patted here, touched there, and nodded heavily, "Fourth brother, I am very satisfied, very satisfied."

"As long as you are satisfied, as long as you are satisfied. Let me tell you, I spent a thousand dollars to customize this carriage of yours. If you are not satisfied, then my money was wasted." Li Chongyuan's face at the moment Suddenly, a secret smile appeared.

When Wan'er heard that her carriage cost a thousand coins, she immediately said a little nervously: "Fourth brother, you don't mean to say that I spent my bonus money on this carriage, right?"

"What do you think? Let me tell you, I ordered a total of four carriages. This is the carriage we promised to give to my mother last year. One for my sister-in-law, one for you, and one for my uncle. Four carriages, That cost my fourth brother [-] guan. It was agreed at the beginning that you and I will share the money equally. But after careful calculation, you still owe me [-] guan." Li Chongyuan laughed in his heart, directly He began to wrestle money for the carriage from this girl.

How much money was spent, so far only he, Li Chongyuan, knows.

The big deal is that when I go back, I will explain each one of them, and I think I can fool this girl.

If you want to share dividends, there is no door, and you have to pay me a thousand pennies.

When Wan'er in the carriage heard that her dividend money was gone, and she still owed Li Chongyuan a thousand coins, she jumped off the carriage, "I don't want it, and I didn't say I wanted the carriage. You have to give it to me, anyway, I don’t want the carriage.”

"That can't be done. The carriages are all custom-made, so there is no return. Even if you don't want your carriage, Auntie, sister-in-law, and uncle's carriage money will have to be shared equally. So, you still owe me five hundred guan " Li Chongyuan had to use all kinds of tricks to deal with this little girl.
