This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 551: Juan Wuyi dies, the world is shocked!

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, everyone was shocked, especially Chang Sun Chong, his expression tightened...

But after thinking about it again, what Li Chengqian said was dissatisfaction, not disagreement, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Chengqian didn't care about these things, and continued: "My Ming Dynasty has been vigorously developing commerce and industry these years, have you forgotten that the progress of my Ming's agriculture and animal husbandry these years has been extremely slow?

Obviously, everyone has enjoyed the dividends of industry, so they vigorously develop business and heavy industry.

Unknowingly, however, agriculture, animal husbandry, and education are neglected.

Is this appropriate?

Xingshang Heavy Industry is not to suppress agriculture and education.

If so, what is the difference from Datang?

Today's Ming Dynasty is like a wooden barrel, and agriculture, industry, education, commerce, animal husbandry, etc. are all boards on this wooden barrel.

And how much water the barrel can hold depends not on the longest piece of wood, but on the shortest one.

This is also Datang's current predicament. Why, don't we have to follow Datang's example? "

In the past two years, although Daming has also invested in agriculture and animal husbandry, in general, it is still far from enough.

Today's Daming, rather than relying too much on Datang, the largest downstream market, might as well say that it relies too much on the business model.

Of course, this has something to do with Daming's national conditions.

The ministers also nodded when they heard the words. What Li Chengqian said was easy to understand, and it was not a big problem for them to understand.

"What Your Highness said is true, agriculture and animal husbandry really need to be taken seriously." Pussyro nodded, and said, "Before, I also thought about whether we should take advantage of the dry season to clean up the river.

This is also considered to be a boost to agriculture and animal husbandry, but if this is the case, it will consume a lot of state money. "

"It doesn't matter." Li Chengqian waved his hand when he heard the words, "Since Aiqing has this idea, let's do it. As for wasting the national money, hmph, the purpose of making money is to spend it!

What's the matter, can they still give birth to cubs if they are stored in the warehouse?
As long as it is a policy that benefits the country and the people, how can this king be stingy?
What's more, during the river cleaning this time, the cleared sediment can be directly used for the road under construction under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry. Speaking of which, cleaning the river is the best choice at this time.

By the way, the Ministry of Industry is also preparing for the construction of a direct road from Deyang to Chang'an. There is no need to worry about this project, it will be repaired slowly, um, the specific explanation will be explained in detail by the king tomorrow and Yi Shangshu. "

"My minister takes the order." Yi Yuanxi knew about this a long time ago, and immediately bowed to accept the order.

Li Chengqian continued: "The reason why I said this is not to say that it is wrong to vigorously develop industry and commerce, but that a healthy country should be balanced in all aspects.

If there is a short board, it is easy for people to seize the opportunity to break through our short board.

Today's Datang is a lesson for us. "

Upon hearing what Li Chengqian said, everyone immediately bowed and said, "What Your Highness said is very true."

Li Chengqian continued: "There is another problem, although our Ming Dynasty has now established a country, but speaking of it, our Ming Dynasty does not even have its own currency.

Regardless of whether it is a private transaction or an official transaction, in addition to the most primitive barter, we still use the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty more often.

This is a disadvantage in itself for my Ming's business development.

That is to say, those old foxes in Chang'an have not yet realized the horror of controlling currency. If they realize it, my Ming's industry and commerce may collapse overnight. "

For this point, Li Chengqian also pondered for a long time.

"But Ming Dynasty lacks copper mines." At this moment, even Ibara Tin shook his head.

He is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he knows better than anyone else how many minerals Daming has.

Li Chengqian shook his head, and said, "Why do we have to use copper mines? Could it be that we also need to use copper coins when the Tang Dynasty uses copper coins? Absurd!

The essence of currency is to circulate and trade, for the convenience of the people!

In fact, it doesn't matter what it is, whether it is copper money or iron money, even paper money is not impossible.

The important thing is that everyone agrees!

Nowadays, everyone recognizes the value of copper coins because the output of copper coins is low. Similarly, copper coins themselves also maintain their value relatively.

In the final analysis, everyone recognizes and trusts copper coins.

In other words, if we can get the recognition and trust of everyone, it is not impossible to print paper money. "

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, everyone was stunned for a moment. Could it be that His Highness really wants to print paper money?
For a moment, everyone couldn't believe it.

Seeing their reaction, Li Chengqian was not surprised. After all, the earliest banknotes in the world were Jiaozi, which only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

That's all a few hundred years later.

Li Chengqian's concept of paper money at this moment is still too advanced.

"The value of currency itself ultimately depends on the trust of ordinary people." Li Chengqian said, "Of course, if we directly introduce paper money, there will still be considerable resistance.

But it doesn't mean there is no way.

Now, with the help of Changming Logistics, my various firms in Ming Dynasty will surely spread all over the world.

At this time, if many companies in my Ming Dynasty jointly launched a batch of paper vouchers, they must still be recognized.

Moreover, paper currency itself has its own advantages, such as being easy to carry.

Just like those merchants in Datang who want to come to my Daming to buy, they have to pull a lot of copper coins in big carts and small carts every time.

First, it costs a lot, and second, it also adds a lot of risks.

If it is paper currency, then this problem is much easier to solve.

Of course, it is not so easy for our banknotes to be recognized by the world. "

"Your Highness, promoting banknotes is not difficult." Qibi He Li said, "But how to prevent counterfeiting is the most important thing. As far as I know, many copper coins in the Tang Dynasty were privately made by the people.

Even the Tang court could hardly put an end to this situation.

Not to mention banknotes?
Moreover, the cost of banknotes is too low. If I am short of money in the future and print banknotes crazily, it will definitely cause turmoil! "

For Daming, this thing is really a no-cost business. Who doesn't know that Daming is rich in paper?
The rest of the people nodded when they heard the words. This is what they were worried about.

"These kings have also thought about it." In order to promote the banknotes, Li Chengqian has made sufficient preparations. The promotion of Changming Logistics was the last pavement for the promotion of banknotes.

Now, when the audience said so, Li Chengqian also explained, "You don't have to worry about the anti-counterfeiting thing, the king has already made arrangements for this.

As for how to prevent the banknotes from getting out of control, I have also thought about it.

For now, the best way is naturally the gold standard.

In layman's terms, it is to issue banknotes based on the amount of gold, silver and copper coins we have in place.

Exceeding a certain ratio, the issuance of banknotes is prohibited to ensure the value of banknotes.

At the same time, the Ministry of Households opened a bank in the name of Daming, which is tentatively called Daming Bank.

This silver number can exchange banknotes for gold, silver and copper coins at any time.

At the same time, the bank account has the functions of depositing, withdrawing and lending.

Everyone can borrow funds from banks through personal credit and asset collateral. "

"Isn't this loan sharking?" Chang Sun Chong was taken aback when he heard this.

In Datang, only a black-hearted guy would do such a wicked thing.

"No, it's completely different." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "The Daming Bank is not comparable to those lending loan sharks? The lending of loan sharks is for profit, and the lending of the Daming Bank is to help merchants and people spend their lives. Temporary difficulties.

Although the interest charged has not been negotiated, the annual interest will never exceed [-]% of the principal.

On the contrary, if merchants and common people deposit money into Daming Bank, Daming Bank will also settle interest on an annual basis. "

A yearly profit?

Everyone nodded when they heard it. This [-]% profit is really not much, especially in this era where interest is calculated on a daily basis, this interest is really conscientious!

On this day, Li Chengqian and these officials of Daming discussed for a whole day.

And from this day on, Daming began to enter a real rapid development!
……

……

……

Time flies like an arrow, time flies.

In a flash, it was 11 years of Zhenguan.

In the past three years, the development of the Ming court is obvious to all.

Since the small court meeting at the beginning, the imperial court of Ming Dynasty has set the tone of its own development.

Focus on industry, agriculture, commerce, education and animal husbandry, etc. to vigorously develop itself.

At the same time, it managed the Western Regions and Tubo.

In the past three years, the caravans of the Royal Court of Ming Dynasty have almost spread all over the countries of the Western Regions. I dare not say that they can control 100% of the markets of the countries of the Western Regions, but it is still barely possible to control half of the commercial order of the Western Regions.

At the same time, the royal court of Ming Dynasty secretly supported Qiucha, Gaochang and other countries.

This has also made these countries that have received special support from the Ming Dynasty become stronger and stronger in the past few years, and gradually have wolfish ambitions to annex the surrounding countries.

It was just because Daming was by his side that they never dared to act rashly.

As for the market share occupied by Daming, hehe, they really didn't care.

In the past three years, the shops of the Ming Dynasty have really spread all over the world. According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of shops directly or indirectly controlled by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty and affiliated to the Ming court.

Its footprints are all over the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and the furthest ones are said to have reached the Dashi Country!
As for the vouchers promoted by many stores in Daming, after a year of exploration and exploration in the market, Daming Bank finally officially launched the long-planned banknotes.

Although it has only been implemented for half a year now, and the degree of recognition and acceptance is not high, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time after all.

There is no way, instead of saying that Daming endorses it with its reputation and accumulated gold and silver, it is better to say that Daming endorses it with thousands of shops.

Because after the introduction of banknotes in Daming, all shops in the Ming Dynasty refused to settle with gold, silver and copper coins, and the only one that accepted gold, silver and copper coins was the Daming Bank.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry has also been building a large number of infrastructure projects in the past three years. There is no way, the guy who came from later generations has really inherited the characteristics of the infrastructure madman of his era.

But even so, less than [-]% of the chi roads in Daming territory have been repaired.

Of course, the road from Deyang to Chang'an was built more slowly...

Let alone education and healthcare.

In the past few years, Daming Academy and Daming Hospital have spread all over Daming!

Especially the Daming Hospital, the reputation of the Daming Hospital in the past few years has spread far and wide, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries from surrounding countries will come to Daming for medical treatment.

This also gave Daming another business card.

Of course, Daming's education will be slightly worse, but there is no way to do it. Education itself is a long process, and it is impossible to see results in a short time.

As for Tubo, life in Tubo has been difficult for the past few years. Ever since Li Chengqian adopted Changsun Chong's opinion and increased his support for Su Pi earlier, life in Tubo has been difficult.

Judging from the news a month ago, the two countries have been seriously injured in the past three years of fighting each other.

Generally speaking, in the past three years, Daming has had a stable development time.

Although Chang'an repeatedly made moves, Daming also coped with it without any risk.

As for Datang, in fact, the past three years have not been idle.

Ever since Dai Zhou died of illness in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Wen Yanbo, who was in charge of the household department of the Tang Dynasty, had been fighting with Fang Xuanling.

These two guys are targeting Daming's goods everywhere, and to a certain extent, they still have a certain blow to Daming's business.

Of course, these two guys didn't just do this. In the past few years, with the cooperation of the two of them and Duan Lun and others, they have indeed vigorously developed Datang's industry. I dare not say that it has surpassed Daming, but Indeed, many achievements have been made.

And the guys like Fang Xuanling are indeed a group of people who are good at learning. When they discovered the benefits of the Daming Bank, they immediately reproduced a Datang Bank in Datang.

Or how can I say that these people have thick skins, while imitating other people's methods, they also sent people to Riyue Mountain to learn Buddhist scriptures.

But when they were thinking about how to strengthen Datang, Li Er started to find another way.

Yes, this guy still has his eyes on Southeast Asia after all.

But in the past few years, many people have been sent there to inquire about the situation. Although almost every piece of news can make him very excited, every piece of news will come back with the word miasma attached.

This made him very helpless.

He couldn't get rid of the miasma, even if he knew there were mountains of gold and silver, he couldn't do anything about it.

It was at this time, the 11th year of Zhenguan, July.

A sad news came from Da'an Palace.

The Supreme Emperor - Li Yuan, has passed away!
All of a sudden, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others panicked!
They know that chaos is coming!
Of course, they didn't know that if the original historical trajectory was followed, Li Yuan would have died in the ninth year of Zhenguan.

But a certain guy who thinks he is not ready, in the past few years, has often arranged for doctors from Daming Hospital to quietly come and prescribe medicine for Li Yuan, which dragged him until today...

But people are getting old, and Lord Yan also ordered him to die. He deserves to die, even gods can't save him...

However, with Li Yuan's death, the world will not be peaceful after all...

To put it bluntly, the peace of the world in the past few years is really thanks to the old guy who lives in Da'an Palace and is still reluctant to stand up.

And Li Yuan's death spread throughout the world like the wind.

For a while, I don't know how many people have moved their benches, ready to sit and watch this huge disturbance that will definitely cause turmoil in the world.

There are also many people who turned their attention to the northwest, and they also wanted to see what the guys in the northwest were going to do.

After all, they were also curious.

　In the past two days, I have reconsidered the direction of the follow-up plot, and it should start to explode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
