Li Shimin

Chapter 839 Xuanba, let's go to Weinan!
"Returning to Master, it's not too much, not at all!"

Li Chengqian nodded quickly and said.

"Ok!"

Only then did Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Actually, that's good too! After the people in Weinan County learn it, the farmland at home will produce more, and the chickens and hogs raised at home can also earn money.

The reputation of the people in Weinan County will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, and people in other prefectures and counties will ask them to impart this knowledge, and then they can use this as an excuse to collect tuition fees!

Maybe they can earn even more! "

"Also, Gao Ming, you have to remember, Doumi En is promoted to Mi Qiu! Sometimes, giving them free things is not necessarily a good thing!"

"It's Master, Gao Ming remembers it!"

Li Chengqian responded quickly, with a thoughtful expression on his face at the same time.

"What else can you do?"

Feeling that Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others had nothing to do, Li Xuan began to have the idea of ​​pushing people away.

"Back to Master, Chengqian has nothing else to do!"

Li Chengqian replied.

Wang Xuance, Fang Yizhi and others at the side also shook their heads hastily.

They will, and indeed have nothing else to do!
"In this way, you will return to the city quickly to meet your parents and do your best to be filial!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Master!"

Li Chengqian, Wang Xuance and others heard the words, and immediately responded solemnly.

They left home for two months this time, and they never came back to Chang'an City.Li Xuan didn't say anything, they didn't feel anything yet.

Now, when Li Xuan said this, they all wanted to go home urgently.

Afterwards, a group of people bid farewell to Li Xuan and headed for Chang'an City.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others had already received the news when Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others returned to Chang'an City.

Therefore, as soon as Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others went back, they found that their respective Aye and Aniang were waiting for them.

Stayed at home for a day.

Li Chengqian, Fang Yizhi and others took a group of guards and servants to Weinan County.

At the same time, they also brought dozens of old farmers from their respective farms, some sweet potato, potato, corn seedlings, and several large carts of glass.

……

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the entire Tang Dynasty has begun to enter the severe winter season.

Lijiazhuang built another [-] mu of glass greenhouses, of which [-] mu of peppers, [-] mu of tomatoes, [-] mu of sweet potatoes, [-] mu of potatoes, and [-] mu of corn were planted.

The remaining [-] acres are planted with various vegetables.

And in Chang'an City, Luoyang City, Qingzhou City, Liangzhou City...in dozens of big cities in the Tang Dynasty, there is one or several hot pot restaurants.

The dignitaries and aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty have thoroughly experienced the deliciousness of chili!
Lijiazhuang!
After Li Xuan had been idle for more than ten days, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others came again.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Jin!"

After greeting each other, Li Xuan looked at Li Shimin.

"It's so cold, why did His Majesty come to Li's Village!"

"Xuanba, one hundred thousand banknotes have been printed, and I'm sending you banknotes!"

Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

At the same time, Li Wei on the side hurriedly placed a small wooden box in his arms carefully on the coffee table in front of Li Xuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Li Xuan was overjoyed, and quickly shouted to Li Chang who was waiting on the side.

"Housekeeper, quickly serve hot tea to His Majesty, and serve all kinds of melons, fruits and snacks in the village to Your Majesty quickly!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang respectfully responded, and walked out quickly.

Although after Li Shimin and others entered the gate of the other courtyard, he had already ordered his servants to prepare hot tea and eat their melons and fruits.

However, his own king specifically explained it again, even if it was just pretending, Li Chang would do it!
Seeing Li Xuan's face change so quickly after seeing the small wooden box, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and the others couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then their faces became strange.

Li Xuan didn't pay attention to these, after giving Li Chang instructions, he directly hugged the small wooden box in front of him.

Then open the small wooden box directly!

Sure enough, there was a pile of exquisite banknotes lying in the wooden box.

The serial number of each banknote is two or six!

If it was placed in later generations, he could get banknotes with these serial numbers and wake up laughing in the middle of the night!
However, if this banknote can be preserved for future generations, it will also be a national treasure antique!
Thinking about it, Li Xuan picked up the banknotes one by one, looked at them one by one, and then put them back!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Haha, Xuanba is being polite, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have these banknotes!"

Li Shimin smiled lightly.

It just so happened that Li Chang had already brought a team of maidservants in person, carrying cups of fragrant hot tea and plates of fragrant melons and fruits, and walked in.

Li Xuan directly reached for the hot tea and took a sip.

"Housekeeper, let the band make glass boxes for this king soon, and this king will put these banknotes in them for collection!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang glanced at the wad of exquisite banknotes in amazement, and quickly replied.

Li Xuan continued: "Besides, if you go and get another ten catties of gold, it's the money I exchanged these banknotes with His Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chang replied.

However, Li Shimin on the side looked unhappy.

"What does Xuan Ba ​​mean by this? This king gave you a few banknotes, but you want to give me money?"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and explained with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I have already agreed before that I want to exchange banknotes, so I must not deceive you!"

"In addition, these banknotes should be the money of the bank. If I want to take them away, I will naturally have to exchange them with copper coins or gold and silver. Moreover, it is not your majesty's bank. I can't trap your majesty for a few banknotes." Among the unjust!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, as he recognized Li Xuan's statement.

On the side, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling looked embarrassed.

When they took away those banknotes, they only cared about taking the banknotes, but they didn't think about it!

Thinking about it, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the others didn't care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly stood up to plead guilty.

"I also ask Your Majesty to forgive me. After I return, I will immediately give you a thousand coins!"

It's not that they don't want to offer gold, but that even though they are nobles, the family doesn't have much gold.

As for silver, they were somewhat reluctant.

Anyway, the money they offered would definitely either go into the treasury or the bank in the end.

"It's okay!"

Li Shimin shook his head indifferently.

It's only a few thousand coins, and they are all his confidants, so he is still willing to do so!
"Your Majesty, please accept it!"

"Exactly, please accept it, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji hurriedly begged.

Give them a hundred guts, and they wouldn't dare to owe His Majesty money!

Li Xuan also said: "Your Majesty, if this money can be accepted in a fair and honest way, even in public, the effect will be even greater!"

"Ok?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at Li Xuan with puzzled faces, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xuan's gourd!

Seeing this, Li Xuan smiled faintly, and explained: "Your Majesty, if all the dignitaries in the world know that I, together with all the princes and prime ministers of the current dynasty, went to find His Majesty to exchange paper money first, they will naturally be very curious.

And as long as they are curious, they will definitely delve into this matter.

Therefore, they cannot resist exchanging banknotes. As long as someone takes the lead, more and more people will exchange banknotes. Presumably, within half a year, the banknotes engraved by His Majesty this time should all be exchanged! "

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help being dumbfounded, paper currency can still play like this?
"So, after I go back, I will order the general to engrave another [-] copies!" Li Shimin said directly.

"also!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then remembered something, and said: "Just remember, Your Majesty, you must not engrave more. They can engrave as many banknotes as they can exchange."

"Why?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help looking at Li Xuan with some doubts.

"Your Majesty, if the quantity of an object exceeds the needs of people, it will be worthless!"

Li Xuan explained: "If the amount of banknotes exceeds the amount of money people have, the banknotes will depreciate, and then there will be an economic crisis!"

"financial crisis?"

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were even more puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the economic crisis is that money is worthless and prices are rising.

Originally, ordinary people could buy a steamed bun with one penny, but because people have too much money, the money is worthless, and the common people need two penny, or even five penny, to buy a steamed bun.

However, in this situation, the rich are those merchants from aristocratic families, and a large number of ordinary people still have no money in their hands.

As a result, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to live..."

"It turned out to be so!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others couldn't help but be solemn!

Although they didn't understand it very well, based on years of experience, they can also realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Xuan Ba ​​don't worry, I will never engrave too many banknotes!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the banknotes in the territory of the Tang Dynasty do not exceed the amount of money deposited in the bank by the nobles of the aristocratic families!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Then, after thinking about it, there was nothing else to do.

Li Xuan walked back lazily, and felt a little sleepy. In this cold weather, nestling on the sofa is the most comfortable.

On the side, seeing Li Xuan like this, Li Shimin's eyes flashed.

He came to Lijiazhuang not only to deliver banknotes.

"Xuan Ba, have you been to Weinan County to take a look during this period of time?"

"Your Majesty, did Gao Ming cause trouble in Weinan County?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes and said in surprise.

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said: "Not at all!"

"That's good!"

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down again.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, "It's just that Gao Ming and Xuan Ce have been to Weinan County for three months, and they haven't visited Weinan County for a while, I'm a little uneasy!

Hearing this, Li Xuan somewhat understood.

"Your Majesty is going to Weinan County for a private visit?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin nodded, and then asked: "Xuanba, you want to take a look to see how Gao Ming and the others are managing Weinan County according to your plan?"

Li Xuan was also a little moved, he hadn't gone out for several months since he lived in the manor!
Just right, I can take this opportunity to go out and let the wind go.

"Your Majesty, when are you leaving?"

Li Shimin looked outside, and then said: "Xuanba, we will start now, and we can reach Weinan County just before dark!"

"also!"

Li Xuan nodded directly.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will inform the princess, and then I will set off!"

"good!"

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan would agree so easily, Li Shimin was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

Li Xuan got up directly and walked to the main house.

Go to the second floor of the main house and tell Cui Mi that he is going to Weinan County with His Majesty.

Although somewhat reluctant, Cui Mi still agreed.

However, Li Chenglu on the side was full of anticipation.

"Aye, Lu'er also wants to follow Aye to Weinan County!"

"Good boy, Lu'er, it may be dangerous to go here, you are safest staying in Lijiazhuang!"

Li Xuan touched Li Chenglu's head and said slowly.

Li Xuancai didn't believe that Li Shimin would specially come to Lijiazhuang for no reason and invite him to Weinan County.

"With Aye here, Lu'er is not afraid!"

Li Chenglu, who has been holding back for a long time, will not let go of the opportunity to go out so easily.

"Then you must listen to me this time, and don't leave me half a step!" Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Aye, I will be obedient!"

Li Chenglu nodded excitedly.

"Sanlang, isn't there really any danger in going here?"

On the side, Cui Mi was full of worry.

"Mi'er, don't worry, His Majesty's visit here is a private visit, and his identity will not be exposed, so there will be no danger. Moreover, there are still troops stationed twenty miles away in Weinan County, and there will never be an assassination like last time." You can rest assured!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly and comforted him in a slow voice.

"This time, I will take Zheng Fu and two hundred guards with me. Just keep an eye on the manor!"

"Saburo must be more careful..."

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Ten carriages, escorted by [-] soldiers, drove out of Lijiazhuang, along the cement road, all the way to Weinan County.

Li Xuan took Li Chenglu, Li Shimin, and Li Xiaogong to sit in a specially made large and warm carriage.

In Li Chenglu's arms, there was still a bunch of snacks.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others were sitting in a carriage behind.

The other eight carriages, except for some food and weapons in the two carriages.

There are piles of armor piled up in the remaining six carriages!

Along the way, there were flat concrete roads, and Li Xuan had already put several layers of cotton pads inside the carriage, so Li Xuan soon fell asleep.

After walking for some time, Li Xuan felt a little bored. Thinking of the matter of gold, he asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, have you sent someone to Luzon Island to look for gold?"

"Five big steel ships and two thousand soldiers, they should have arrived in Fuzhou by now!"

"Did they go to Liuqiu Island?"

"I issued an edict to let Fuzhou Zhechong Mansion send soldiers to Liuqiu Island! As for Tianzhu, I also issued an edict to let An Xiuren take Linyi's boats to Tianzhu to investigate!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Xuanba doesn't know, originally I wanted to lead troops there, but unfortunately His Majesty won't let me!"

"The majestic King of the Tang Dynasty went overseas to search for gold mines. I, the Tang Dynasty, can't afford to lose this man!"

"..."

at dusk.

The convoy came to Weinan County.

However, Li Shimin did not enter the city, but went straight to the Thunder Army camp twenty miles away from Weinan County.

With the fact that he was assassinated by a Turkic hozen in Lijiazhuang last time, Li Shimin will now be very cautious every time he leaves Chang'an City!

This time, it was still so far away from Chang'an City, and it was the safest place in the military camp!
