Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 226: Don’t sleep, let’s discuss it together

After Lin Heng came out, he held the formula in his hand that he thought could greatly improve the purity of silver, and immediately handed it to the two of them.

I just noticed that a few people looked at me a little strangely.

Especially Li Chengqian, his eyes were already a little wary.

Li Chengqian slowly said: "Lin Heng, you and Ning Xi are not married yet."

Lin Heng coughed violently, and Li Ningxi quickly stood up to check: "Mr. Lin, are you okay?"

"No, I just thought of something."

He then looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, you might as well take a look at this first."

Muddle through.

My father has agreed, so what does it have to do with you being my uncle?

Li Chengqian frowned, but his eyes still saw the top of the paper, and after a moment, his expression became confused.

“Can this method really make silver purified even higher?”

Lin Heng nodded, and then sat back: "It is at least [-]% more purified than the Tang Dynasty's traditional method. As long as this method is not leaked, ordinary people can't imagine how it is made, so now this formula It should be regarded as the top secret of the country."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's brows twitched sharply.

If the planned gold standard system is implemented, silver coins will actually be the most widely circulated currency in the market. If silver coins can be copied, big problems will arise!
Lin Heng just gave them this formula?

As far as Lin Heng is concerned, Ma Zhou is absolutely loyal to Li Shimin, otherwise this method would not be directly handed over to him to participate. Naturally, there will be no problems on Lin Heng's side, only on Li Chengqian's side.

At least for now, he still quite trusts his uncle, but considering that he is from a wealthy family, he still gave him a warning.

"The method of raising silver cannot be surpassed for at least a hundred years, so it can only be controlled by the royal family. Once the method is leaked, silver cannot be used as the popular currency of the Tang Dynasty, and the difficulty of this system will be greatly increased."

"So, the silver refining craftsmen we need now must be chosen from the palace, and all confidential facilities must be built in the construction site inside the palace. This is the first step."

Li Chengqian also clenched the piece of paper tightly, and then his eyes became solemn.

When did you start to feel that the farmer in front of you became a little different?

It seems to have become very powerful.
What Lin Heng said was already very obvious, and from Li Chengqian's position, he would not be unaware of the seriousness. Lin Heng had already explained the shortcomings of the family to Li Chengqian once, and there was no need to say anything more.

"The second step is to open a bank in Chang'an first. My Lin family has a bank in Chang'an and also in various places in Jiangnan. My plan is to transform the Lin family's bank into the predecessor of the Royal Bank first. This will be implemented after the silver coins are produced. , the key is to use this to promote the bank system."

Lin Heng then elaborated on the plan of the Royal Bank. Li Chengqian and Ma Zhou put forward their opinions one after another. The general direction is to develop in the direction of later generations of banks. However, considering that the speed of information exchange is relatively slow, a special team must be set up. The person who delivers the message.

Ma Zhou's view was relatively novel and the most time-breaking. Li Chengqian's view was more conservative. He mainly focused on how to guarantee the value of silver coins and what the exchange rate would be when converting copper coins. He had studied this for a long time.

All in all, a large prototype Lin Heng has been built. The purpose of a few people is to patch up the details as much as possible, and then they want to find Dou Jing, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Dou Jing was in charge of the Tang Dynasty's money, and currency issuance was inseparable from Dou Jing.

The three of them immediately came to the Ministry of Household Affairs and asked to see Dou Jing, who also knew about the Royal Bank. At this moment, Li Chengqian handed the formula to Dou Jing.

"This method is a silver refining method proposed by Lin Heng. Let the people from the coin factory take it and try it." Dou Jing nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness, if this method is feasible, we will notify you as soon as possible." .”

Then, they invited the Minister of Civil Affairs and several officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to discuss the matter.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is a very special department that controls the country's finances. Except for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all ministries have officials from aristocratic families. Only the Ministry of Civil Affairs is promoted and appointed by Li Shimin.

This can be regarded as a kind of defense against the aristocratic family, although it is of little use.

Even if the aristocratic family got the method to print copper coins, do you think they would dare to print it?

"As for the bank, Prince Consort Lin plans to use his own bank to promote it in Chang'an first?"

Lin Heng nodded: "As a depositor, I will turn my money into deposits in the Royal Bank. This matter will be supervised by you."

Dou Jing smiled and said, "How dare you ask Lin's consort how much money she has now in Chang'an?"

Lin Heng thought for a while: "More than 130 guan. They are also available in various places now. The total should be [-] million guan."

Li Chengqian frowned suddenly. He knew that Lin Heng could make money before, but he didn't expect that he could make money like this?
The current savings alone are 130 million yuan in half a year?
Moreover, he had given his father so much armaments before. Doesn't that mean that Lin Heng has earned at least 200 million yuan in these few months?

This incident shocked Li Chengqian, who was only a few years older than Lin Heng.

Dou Jing smiled and shook her head: "Even if it is 130 million guan, it is far from affecting the market. Although Lin Consort's influence can implement the silver coin system in advance and every store can accept it, 130 million guan of silver coins is really Too little."

Issuing currency is not something you just want to issue. If they want to issue silver coins, they have to recycle part of the copper coins. Otherwise, if too much currency is issued, the price of food will increase, but if the income does not increase, the people will live in hardship.

Nowadays, the only way to maintain stability is to issue replacements through substitution methods.

Lin Heng thought for a moment: "Nowadays, the biggest wealthy families in Chang'an are the aristocratic families. If we can lure them into the trap, it will be much easier."

Dou Jing also nodded: "That's true. After all, the Lu family alone has tens of millions of dollars saved. I am also very curious about where these guys hid the money. With such a large amount of money, it is estimated that the entire household I can’t even put them all down.”

"This part of the money should be flowing in the market, or in banks, or lending money. They have many industries. If the money is divided into various industries, it will actually be invisible."

Lin Heng gave his opinion from the perspective of a businessman. After all, this is how his family's money is dispersed. Money begets money.

Li Chengqian thought for a moment, and then said: "It would be much easier if the aristocratic family was involved, right?"

Everyone looked over and said, "That's the truth. If aristocratic families can save money in the Royal Bank, the Royal Bank will expand rapidly, and silver coins can also be replaced to a certain extent. As long as silver coins can become popular in Chang'an, there will be no problems everywhere. "

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "On the other side of the aristocratic family, let me solve it alone."

"That's it, that would be the best, but now the silver coin matter has not been finalized. Even if it is equivalent to gold, the other party may not trust it. This is a big problem."

Li Chengqian chuckled: "Don't worry, my father's credit will always be enough."

Lin Heng was on the side and immediately panicked when he heard this.

The aristocratic family doesn’t believe in the royal family!
However, considering that Li Chengqian has some connections with the aristocratic family, it would be a good thing if Li Chengqian can convince the aristocratic family.

Everyone continued to discuss, from day to night, and then into the middle of the night. Several people talked more and more enthusiastically, and then listed on paper what each department needed to pay attention to. After discussing and organizing these, once confirmed, it is The iron law that determines the future development of Royal Bank.
