The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1260
Now the great reformation of the Wa Kingdom has gradually reached its peak. The current Wa Kingdom is very different from the chaotic Wa Kingdom in the past, but Xuan Shijing knows that the Wa Kingdom is only a short-lived prosperity. Queen Bao, a woman who has been the emperor, is not a simple person.
Emperor Kotoku never lived the Queen Ho. Once Emperor Kotoku dies, the full-scale Taika Reformation will end. Queen Ho will be restored and once again ascended to the throne of Emperor. , wantonly built a palace in Namba, searched for rare treasures, heard that the Central Plains is rich, and will send troops to attack Datang under extreme expansion
Xuan Shijing thought about this, and felt that Queen Bao was really out of her wits. Didn't she know what kind of gap there was between the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom?
After the three left, Qin Bingyue and Jin Yang came down from upstairs.

"Husband, are these three people looking for business with husband again?" Jin Yang asked.

"When the husband was away, they went to Shenhou Mansion." Qin Bingyue also echoed.

Xuan Shijing watched the two sit down opposite her, and smiled: "It's okay, with the three of them here, it saves a lot of trouble."

"These three people are also generous. Just now, I was upstairs watching the housekeeper move the gifts from the three of them to the warehouse. After opening the box and checking, it was all silver of high quality." Jin Yang said.

"Sizi also thinks that silver is better in quality? How is it compared to Tang's silver?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The silver quality of the Tang Dynasty is uneven, but these silvers are undoubtedly the best choice for the Tang Dynasty." Jin Yang said.

"Sizi is in the palace, and I have seen many good things. Even you think the silver is good, so it is really good." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "There are a lot of such silver in the Wa country, it should be said , Wa is rich in silver mines."

"Husband's idea of ​​taking Japanese money?" Qin Bingyue asked.

"That's right." Now there are only the three of them in this hall, and there are no outsiders. Xuan Shijing is also blunt: "The money of the Japanese country, let's not talk about the whole Tang Dynasty now, let's take a look at Chang'an. Merchants from all over the world gather, you sell me Buying, there are countless large transactions, but the most commonly used in the Tang Dynasty is still copper coins, which are heavy and unsuitable for large transactions. Now that silver has quietly emerged as a currency, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty must have silver reserves. I mentioned it to His Majesty, but you can’t act aggressively, you can only take it slow, so I said, these three people have saved us a lot of effort.”

"According to what my husband said, there are silver mines in the country of Japan, and if you use business means to earn them, how long will it take to earn them all?" Jin Yang asked.

"The business is only temporary. Since we want to take it easy, we can't be so intense once we get started. Moreover, this matter can't be done by the husband alone. In the end, whether it is silver reserves or silver as official currency The release can only be promoted by the concerted efforts of the whole court." Xuan Shijing said: "Tomorrow will just enter the palace, and this matter should be brought up again with His Majesty."

"The best way for the Tang Dynasty to make a fortune is by war." Qin Bingyue said coldly: "But now that the Tang Dynasty has just leveled Goguryeo and Baekje, His Majesty will not go to Japan in a short time. .”

When Jin Yang heard Qin Bingyue's words, he was stunned. Why would Qin Bingyue say such a thing? Wars are always the most laborious and costly: "Sister Bingyue, this is a war."

"Mingda, you want to say that the war in the Tang Dynasty was a waste of money, right?" Qin Bingyue asked.

Jin Yang nodded.

"It's a waste of money for the people. Mingda thinks about the general's destruction of Gaochang in the past. If he doesn't say anything, he said that the husband destroyed Goguryeo, and the money transported back to Chang'an almost filled the entire treasury." Qin Bingyue said: "The war is laborious, but it is not worth it. Hurt money, the so-called waste of people and money is nothing more than someone cutting flesh from it."

Qin Bingyue was originally born in an official family, and she was smart when she was a child. She was clear about some things, and what impressed her most was the fact that her home was confiscated back then. She did not deny that her father was not a Qingliu, Because she lived a very rich life when she was a child. Since she lived a good life, she needs money. A large family needs to be supported. Without money, how can a good life come from, or doing business, or the filial piety of local businessmen, In short, Qin Bingyue's family is rich.

Later her home was confiscated, so where did her family's belongings go?Anyone who knows about this also knows that the money went into Li Yuanjing's pocket.

Home raids and wars are two different things, but they are essentially the same, they are both profitable, but when the profits reach the state treasury, ten of them will not be saved. The state treasury will pay [-]% for the war, and after the war, [-]% will be obtained. Going to [-]% and only handing over [-]% to the national treasury will be a waste of money for the people, and it will only hurt the treasury's wealth.

"Bingyue is right." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Officials in the court, whether they are civil or military, are all the same."

Jin Yang frowned. Although he was married, he was still a member of the Li family. The Great Tang was the home of the Li family. Now that he heard from his husband that there was such a thing in the middle of the war, he was naturally not happy. Taste.

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the swell of temples is for profit. This is human nature and cannot be changed. So you don't have to worry about it. There is a blood in it, and it won't last long. Therefore, whether it is a temple or the world, You can't escape a word of profit." Xuan Shijing said.

"I understand the truth, it's just that when I said this, although I knew a little before, I never thought about it. The doorway is so deep, if it's just a small profit, it will be over if you open your eyes and close your eyes. But after a great war, in the end even the deficit of the treasury can't be filled, this cut is really too much." Jin Yang frowned and said: "If this continues, won't it become the vicious circle that my husband said before."

"Of course not everyone is so black-hearted, such as your husband and I." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "Okay, don't think about it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, you think your father doesn't know this The doorway? Your Majesty knows it, but you just don’t mention it. Your Majesty was also a soldier who marched and fought, and he knows it better than anyone else. If your Majesty doesn’t say anything, you have your own reasons.”

Jin Yang nodded and sighed: "Indeed, this matter is very complicated."

"Take care of the present affairs first. Tomorrow, my husband will enter the palace and go to court, so I have nothing to do. Or, you two guess, what reward will His Majesty give my husband?" Xuan Shijing laughed.

Just before returning home, Xuan Shijing didn't have the time to think about these things, but now that he is idle, he is a little curious in his heart. After all, it is his own credit that such a large area of ​​the Sanhan Peninsula was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Don't you allow yourself to be complacent?
