Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 232

The news of the banknotes shocked the dignitaries of Chang'an City.

On the first day of the bank's establishment, tens of thousands of people exchanged banknotes.

Although the people who exchanged it were more out of curiosity and to please the emperor.

But for Qianzhuang, it is already very good to have such business on the first day.

That night, Fang Yuan held another meeting of the Bafang Group, allowing all products under the Bafang Group to support the use of banknotes, and all those who use banknotes will get a [-]% discount.

At the same time, under Fang Yuan's request, Changsun Chong, Qin Huaiyu, Cheng Chumo, and Yuchi Baolin all went home to discuss with their father, and the shops at home also implemented this policy.

Naturally, this is the case for all businesses of the Du family, including tea and fine salt, which greatly attracts the interest of the common people in using banknotes.

Therefore, in just the next day, tens of thousands of people exchanged banknotes out of curiosity and ingratiating themselves to the Supreme Emperor, soaring to 5 people exchanged banknotes.

Although the number of exchanges is not large, it is a very large number for the bank. The bank immediately exchanged a small amount of paper money for a large amount of copper coins.

On the third day, the royal family's business also refers to Fang Yuan's policy, all those who use banknotes for consumption will get a [-]% discount, which once again stimulates the people's determination to exchange banknotes.

On that day, almost one hundred thousand people exchanged banknotes and lined up in front of the bank. The banknotes prepared by the bank were all empty for a while, Fang Yuan and others did not expect.

So far, paper currency has been officially promoted in Chang'an City, and it has been liked by a small number of people, which will also attract more people to use it.

Because most of the banknotes exchanged are of high face value, you will find cash back when you buy things.

Naturally, at this time, he was also looking for banknotes to go back.

Therefore, when you come and go, copper coins are collected into the bank, and paper money is exchanged.

Another point is that Bafang Group's factory in Chang'an City will also be paid in the form of banknotes.

As time goes by, the impact of banknotes can be seen by anyone with a heart, and countless money has been greatly reduced.

For a time, many people secretly studied banknotes.

One day in half a month, Wu Xing Qiwang suddenly announced a big news, that is, they also promote banknotes and banknotes!

Their bank has the same function as Fang Yuan's bank, and the banknotes have the same denomination, the only difference is that there is no Li Yuan's portrait on the banknotes, but some feng shui paintings.

In the subsequent operations, Fang Yuan's policy was almost synchronized, all their stores, even those not owned by them, had a [-]% discount for those who used banknotes.

Five surnames and Qiwang jointly launched the bank and banknotes, and the momentum instantly overwhelmed Fang Yuan's bank and banknotes.

Because the five surnames and seven wangs are all over the world, the relationship is very complicated. As long as they want to do, few things can be successful.

After their banks and banknotes were launched, more families moved closer to them, and even a large part of the common people moved closer to them.

As for Fang Yuan's bank and banknotes, it felt like they were going to disappear almost at that moment.

"Husband, dad asked me to tell you, don't lose your sense of proportion."

Du Miaoyan found Fang Yuan and comforted him.

"Five surnames and seven looks, it's really amazing."

Fang Yuan looked dignified and said in a deep voice.

When I was in Bingzhou, I had a contest with the governor of Bingzhou, and the opponent's performance was average.

But now it seems that I seriously underestimated the five surnames and Qiwang, and the thousand-year-old family is really extraordinary.

Even if this kind of aristocratic family has no innovation, like banks and banknotes, as long as they imitate it, countless people will support it, and then the plagiarists will kill the original creators.

"My lord, there is a call from the palace, and I want you to enter the palace immediately."

Gou Zi found Fang Yuan and reported it.

"I'm entering the palace."

Fang Yuan looked at Du Miaoyan, nodded slightly.

I was too lazy to take a bath and change clothes, so I went directly to the palace.

Royal study.

When Fang Yuan arrived, Li Shimin and Li Yuan were also here.

Looking at the eyes of the two, they didn't seem very happy, and there were banknotes issued by Wu Xing Qiwang in front of them.

"Sit down, you won't have to be polite."

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and asked Fang Yuan to sit in front of the two.

There is already a position in front of the two of them, and they have been preparing for Fang Yuan for a long time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Fang Yuan was not polite, and sat directly in front of the two.

"What do you think of the banknotes and banknotes launched by Wuxing Qiwang?"

Li Shimin knocked on the table and said in a deep voice.

Wu Xing Qiwang's move was too ruthless, and it was completely embarrassing to the royal family.

Fang Yuan's bank was opened in the capacity of the Chang'an County Government, that is, in the capacity of the imperial court.

But even so, Wu Xing Qi Wang still launched banknotes and banknotes half a month later.

And they have the support of countless big and small families, and under the family, there are tenant farmers attached to them, etc., and there are countless supports.

After they launched the bank and banknotes, Fang Yuan's bank and banknote business dropped sharply, almost disappearing into the crowd, and the five surnames and seven Wangs occupied the market.

"Can Your Majesty order the people to only support the Tang Dynasty Banknotes?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The banknotes he launched also have a name, that is, Datang Baochao.

"No."

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly.

It was because he couldn't that he called Fang Yuan over.

If possible, he directly issued an imperial decree to the five surnames and seven Wangs.

The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs are too powerful, this kind of imperial decree cannot be issued easily, it will anger them.

From their promotion of banknotes to the corresponding shops, we know that they affect all aspects of Datang.

Once the decree is made, it will turn against everyone, and it will be difficult to implement the policies of the imperial court in the future.

"Does Your Majesty want to promote the Tang Dynasty Banknotes?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and asked.

As he spoke, he held the banknotes issued by Wuxing Qiwang.

In terms of workmanship and technology, it is quite different from Datang Banknotes.

But the feel is already good, the difference is not much, it is acceptable.

"Yes!"

"Also want to ban their banknotes."

Li Shimin said without concealment.

When he was in Liaozhou, Li Shimin didn't think much about banknotes, but only cared about his fame through the ages.

But after Fang Yuan officially launched the bank and banknotes, Li Shimin deeply felt that there were huge benefits in it.

Not only can control the economic lifeline of the whole people, but also can control the money of the people, which makes the connection between the people and the court stronger.

From the perspective of long-term development, it will benefit the court's governance of the people.

Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to promote banknotes, and wanted to attack the banks and banknotes of the five surnames and Qiwang.

"Or you can use dirty tricks!"

Fang Yuan observed the banknotes of the five surnames Qiwang for a while, and said in a deep voice.

"Tell me in detail."

Li Shimin and Li Yuan became interested and asked.

"Fake!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The research and development time for the five surnames and Qiwang banknotes may have been less than half a month, and many technologies are not in place.

In terms of anti-counterfeiting, there is no way to compare with Datang Banknotes. With the technology of Juzi and others, it is no problem to counterfeit their money.

"Fake it?!"

Li Shimin and Li Yuan looked at each other and did not continue talking.

One is the emperor and the other is the emperor, and their methods are aboveboard on the bright side.

But Fang Yuan's trick is dirty, they are not good at supporting it face to face, and also consider the consequences of the fraud.

"If your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor do not support it, then the ministers have not said anything about it."

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Fang Yuan understood that they cared about their reputation.

If one of the two stays alone with himself, there may be something else to say.

But if the two of them are together, there is a high possibility that they will have some scruples and don't want each other to know each other's tricks.

The relationship between the two is not an ordinary father-son relationship, the relationship between the two is still the relationship between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, and the family relationship is far different from that of others.

After speaking, Fang Yuan stood up and wanted to leave.

Banks and banknotes are not just for themselves, and the royal family also has great interests.

For such bad things as shady tricks, if Wu Xing Qiwang finds out that there is a big problem, it is impossible to do it alone.

Being an eagle dog of the imperial court will not end well, you still have to have benefits and protection, otherwise no one will save you from death.

"Wait, what support do you need?"

Li Yuan called Fang Yuan to stop.

Li Shimin was a little surprised, he glanced at Li Yuan and said nothing.

"I won't do it myself, you can find someone."

"I provide technical support here, create counterfeit currency to confuse their market, exchange their copper coins, and make them lose money."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

"Heh, you kid, dare to talk to me like that?"

Li Yuan was a little speechless, he looked Fang Yuan up and down.

Even though Fang Yuan saved himself once, it is too disrespectful to speak like this.

What he meant was that he could help out, but he had to be responsible for the consequences.

Arrogant, dare to negotiate terms like this.

Fang Yuan didn't speak, nor sat down.

Li Yuan watched, his brows frowned again, wanting to punish Fang Yuan.

But at this time, Li Shimin, who did not speak, stopped him.

"Just do what you want, and I'll ask someone to contact you at night."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

Fang Yuan saluted and left.

After leaving the imperial study room, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Second boy, this kid has too much personality, it won't work without polishing."

Li Yuan looked at the direction Fang Yuan left, and said slowly.

"Father, he is different, I need him like this."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

He never knew that Fang Yuan had his own personality.

But Fang Yuan is his virtuous minister Ying Meng, Li Shimin will not polish Fang Yuan too much just because of this.

And for so long, although Fang Yuan has quite a personality and caused a lot of trouble, but the help he has given him is huge.

"You decide."

Li Yuan didn't say anything more.

He retreated to the second line and knew that Li Shimin was much better than him.

Therefore, Li Shimin felt that if the matter was not very unreasonable, he would be too lazy to say anything.

It may be a good thing to live the second half of my life well, after all, I am living a good life now.

"Thank you, Father."

Li Shimin nodded.

Father and son separated.

Li Shimin went to choose people for Fang Yuan.

As night fell, everyone in the Fang residence had just finished eating.

Gouzi came to report that there was a princess visiting outside.

Because she is a princess, Gouzi has been invited to wait in the main hall.

Knowing that it is the princess, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan were a little surprised.

Naturally, Fang Yuan told Du Miaoyan about his experience in the palace, and he also guessed who the emperor would choose to come.

But I never thought that it turned out to be the princess Li Shimin. Few of the current princesses are older, and they are all relatively young.

Fang Yuan called the giant, and Du Miaoyan went to the main hall to meet the princess.

But after reaching the main hall, Fang Yuan and the others were stunned again.

Because this princess is not the daughter of Emperor Li Shimin.

It is Princess Gaomi, the daughter of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

"Meet Princess Gaomi."

Du Miaoyan saluted first, then Fang Yuan and Juzi followed.

"Exemption."

"Fang Yuan, the emperor has told me about the situation, and I will cooperate with you throughout the process."

Princess Gaomi got up and helped Du Miaoyan up herself.

But she is not very familiar with Du Miaoyan, only met a few times.

"Thank you princess."

Fang Yuan and the others sat down.

This is the time to seriously look at Princess Gaomi.

A tall woman with a more beautiful appearance, tender and supple.

Judging by her age, she is estimated to be in her early thirties, which is the age of a mature young woman.

"Fang Yuan, do you have any arrangements now?"

Princess Gaomi looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"The time is too urgent and there is no arrangement yet."

"If the princess is free tomorrow, we will talk tomorrow."

Fang Yuan said.

In the afternoon, I just parted ways with Li Shimin.

After I came back, I was busy with other things, and there was no definite plan yet.

Moreover, it was so late, and she wanted to go back to bed with Du Miaoyan earlier, and didn't want to talk about business.

"That's fine, then tomorrow you come to my son-in-law's mansion."

"Your Majesty means that things should be kept secret, and you should sneak in through the back door at the end when you come."

Princess Gaomi nodded and reminded.

"Ok."

Fang Yuan has no opinion.

But she didn't notice a change in Du Miaoyan's expression.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Princess Gaomi got up and bid farewell to Fang Yuan and others.

Fang Yuan, Du Miaoyan and Juzi sent Princess Gaomi to the door.

At this time, Fang Yuan found that when Princess Gaomi entered the door, not only did she enter the door by herself, but when she left, there was no one around.

"Husband, you shouldn't have promised Princess Gaomi just now."

Du Miaoyan said at this time.

"Promise what?"

Fang Yuan was a little surprised.

He didn't seem to have promised Princess Gaomi anything just now.

"It is to promise her to enter secretly through the back door."

Du Miaoyan's eyes were somewhat sad.

"what?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Fang Yuan was even more puzzled.

He also wanted to be sneaky to arrange.

To save the five surnames and Qiwang from catching people and burning them on their own heads.

"The widow has a lot of affairs in front of her house. If someone sees you, you will definitely be flirtatious."

Du Miaoyan pursed her mouth.

It turned out that Princess Gaomi was a widow.

Her eldest son-in-law, Xiaozheng, had passed away last year.

"I don't know that."

Fang Yuan really didn't know.

I couldn't even recognize it as Princess Gaomi just now.

If it wasn't for Du Miaoyan being here, Fang Yuan wouldn't even know the other party's identity.

There are too many royal princesses, Fang Yuan has never seen many of them, especially Li Yuan's daughter.

"I promised everything, and that's the only way to go."

"Be careful when you go, be careful what Princess Gaomi treats you."

Du Miaoyan half-jokingly said.

Remind Fang Yuan to control his pants.

Things like Princess Xiangcheng can't happen again.

"Look at what you said, what do you think of me?"

Fang Yuan gave Du Miaoyan a blank look, speechless.

Princess Gaomi looks really good, but she is not an evil spirit, so she can't hold back when she sees a woman?
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan also thought of Princess Xiangcheng, I don't know how she chatted with Du Miaoyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time.
