The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 671

Facing a group of impatient old men, Li Muyun said leisurely: "If you haven't forgotten, you should remember the exchange rate issue that Li just said?"

"Yes, the exchange rate, but what is the exchange rate used for?" Li Xiaogong asked again.

"The exchange rate is mainly used for transactions with other countries. Let's take Goguryeo as an example. Right now they have the same exchange rate as our copper coins. One Goguryeo copper coin can be exchanged for one of our Datang copper coins." Li Muyun fiddled with the tea in his hand Zhan: "And what we have to do now is to devalue Goguryeo's copper coins, so that the previous one-to-one exchange rate will become one to two, and when the right opportunity comes, we will devalue Kaiyuan Tongbao, so that the exchange rate will become two to one. "

"What? Why is their money worth more than ours!" Li Xiaogong and a group of old men from aristocratic families changed their expressions, and one or two showed displeasure.

In their view, Goguryeo is just a vassal state, and even if the exchange rate is to change, it is because Datang's money is more valuable than Goguryeo's money. It makes no sense that Goguryeo's money is more valuable than Datang's.

This is a matter of face, involving affiliation. If Goguryeo's money is more valuable than Tang's, wouldn't it mean that the subordinates committed a crime and messed up the relationship.

Li Muyun waved his hand, signaling Li Xiaogong to be calm and calm down: "If you want to make money, then listen to me first, if you have any questions, talk about it later."

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but in the end he didn't say anything, he snorted, and waited for Li Muyun to continue.

Li Muyun saw that he was silent, so he continued: "It is only the second step to increase the value of the Koguryo copper coin. Next, we need to let it continue to depreciate within a period of time, changing the exchange rate from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. Even four to one."

"Why? What's the point of changing like this?" Zheng He asked with a frown, and the rest of the people also looked at Li Muyun, waiting for him to give an answer.

At this time, Li Muyun gave Zheng He a thumbs-up: "Patriarch Zheng asked a good question. The key to the matter lies in the tossing and turning."

"Why?" someone asked.

"Let me give you an example." Li Muyun picked up the teacup on the table and shook it in front of his eyes: "If this cup is worth ten coins in Goguryeo, if we buy this cup in Goguryeo according to the exchange rate of one to two It takes five words."

"Under such circumstances, we invested a lot of money to buy the necessities of Koguryo, such as real estate and land."

"The Goguryeo people will hoard our money when they find out that our money is valuable. After all, our money is valuable to them, and their purchasing power is much stronger than their money."

Li Xiaogong lost his patience when he heard this, and said with a dark face: "But what's the use of buying so many things, what's the benefit for us?"

Li Muyun chuckled: "Benefits? When it comes to benefits, it depends on everyone's ability. After our capital investment is almost the same, we need to depreciate Kaiyuan Tongbao."

"In the past, the exchange rate of one to two, we bought the things of Goguryeo for ten yuan for five yuan, if the exchange rate becomes one to one, then we can sell the things for ten yuan, so that we can make a profit. double the money, if the exchange rate is two to one, then we can sell the same cup for [-] Wen, minus the cost of [-] Wen, and this resale is three times the profit."

Speaking of this, some of the old men understood, while others were even more confused. Li Xiaogong couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he simply called his guard, took out a large handful of copper coins from his body, and handed over his left hand to his right. The right hand was handed over to the left hand, and after tossing for a long time, he slapped Li Muyun's shoulder hard with a dazed expression.

"Boy, you, you are more ruthless than robbing money. Even if you rob, you may not be able to rob so much of my money in a short period of time. The Goguryeo people offended you, probably the most regrettable thing in their life. .”

Li Muyun smiled triumphantly, raised his eyebrows: "Small."

The Patriarchs of the other great families also figured it out at this time, their faces were flushed with excitement, and they were not as noble as before, and they whispered to each other, discussing the feasibility of this plan.

You know, just now Li Muyun just said that the profit from converting the exchange rate from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-], if it is converted to [-] to [-], it will be five times the profit, if it is four to one..., then it will be seven times.

Get rich, get rich, after the discussion, everyone didn't doubt Li Muyun's four or five times the income. The old man Lu Zushang had already forgotten that someone threatened him before, and laughed excitedly. The tongue trembled wildly.

Standing up and coming in front of Li Muyun, he cupped his hands and said, "The King of Wealth is indeed worthy of being the King of Money, I admire you!"

The rest of the old men also forgot about the embarrassment they had had with each other before, and they all stood up and cupped their hands and said with a smile: "Wealth King Gao Zhi, I admire you!"

Naturally, Li Muyun couldn't sit still at this time, so he also stood up, bowed to the old men and said, "Don't be happy, everyone. Although the plan is good, the key lies in the ability to execute it. If it is not executed properly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a high income."

"As long as there is a plan, the most important thing for us people is the ability to execute." Li Xiaogong blushed with excitement and yelled carelessly, as if he had already made a lot of money.

Li Muyun looked at the guy who was almost insane, shook his head speechlessly, and had to remind them: "Everyone, you must keep this matter strictly confidential after you go back, and don't let the Goguryeo people know in advance, otherwise it may not work. "

"Oh, yes, you should, you should." Old man Lu patted his forehead, with a dazed look on his face, he turned his head and warned the guards he brought: "Have you all heard that everything today is left to the old man?" It's rotten in your stomach, if any news leaks out, watch out for your heads."

"No!" Not only the guards of the Lu family, but also the guards of several other families agreed, expressing their loyalty to their Patriarch, frankly saying that they would not reveal any news.

It has to be said that the meeting this time was a joy for the guests and the host. The heads of the several great families were already prepared to talk about collapse, but they never expected that there would be such a surprising result.

Of course, these old fellows have also experienced the horror of Li Muyun. If they really follow other people's plan, what the Goguryeo people will face is unimaginable. It is estimated that many people will starve to death after the plan is completed.

After the banquet, the patriarchs of several big families calmed down and realized that Li Muyun had a vicious plan. When they were excited, they all warned their clansmen that if it was not necessary in the future, they must not fight against King Xiaoyao, even If possible, it is best not to even meet in person.

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin listened to Li Xiaogong's return.

At first Li Er was confused when he heard it, because Li Xiaogong was just relaying after all, some things he could remember and some things he couldn't remember.

However, after Li Xiaogong asked the eunuch for dozens of copper coins, when they put them together and fiddled with them, Li Shimin's face changed. There were surprises, surprises, and an indescribable complexity.

As the most powerful country at that time, Li Shimin knew that this plan could be carried out smoothly under the powerful force of Datang, but he didn't like the aristocratic family taking advantage of this opportunity to grow stronger.

This is a very contradictory issue. On the one hand, without the support of the aristocratic family, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously unrealistic to want to make Goguryeo cry all at once. Big once.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin was a little undecided, so he simply called a few of his favorites, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others to discuss the big plan.

To be honest, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who claims to be extremely intelligent, was a little confused when he heard the word economic warfare, and after listening to Li Er's report of Li Muyun's plan, the eldest grandson also took a breath and said with emotion: : "This Li Muyun is indeed a ruthless character. If his plan is really implemented, Goguryeo's economy will definitely collapse, and there will be another chaos."

"That's right, this kid is really ruthless, but I like his method." Li Shimin made no secret of his ambition, and said with a sneer: "When the economy of Goguryeo collapses and the people's hearts fluctuate, it will be the first time for my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty to enter Liaodong." hour."

The corner of Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched. The old man knew that Li Shimin was determined to pacify Liaodong, but he didn't expect it to be revealed so soon.

Li Shimin has a good name, Yang Guang's three conquests of Goguryeo failed, if he was able to pacify Liaodong during the Zhenguan Dynasty, wouldn't it just prove that Li Er's ability is several times stronger than Yang Guang's.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Li Shimin say: "It's just that I really want to know how much money my Tang Dynasty can mobilize if I don't use the power of the family?"

Fang Xuanling was startled again, but quickly replied: "If you go all out, it's less than 500 million."

"500 million guan..." Li Shimin paused, sighed and said, "It's a little short. If I can get 1000 million guan, I don't need other people's power."

"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling heard that Li Er didn't want to take the family to play, and couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make trouble."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long term. I think it is best to call Li Muyun into the palace and ask him what he thinks specifically." Changsun Wuji expressed his support for Fang Xuanling's opinion.

As the saying goes, you can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it’s not something that can be done overnight. If you don’t bring the family to play this time, these guys will definitely play tricks behind their backs.

Moreover, it is difficult to prevent the participation of other people in such a matter. Only by involving private capital can it truly pose a threat to Goguryeo. It is not enough to make things happen just by going to the court. Even if it is really 1000 million, it will not be of much use.
