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

Chapter 230 Even the old fool from his family cannot hand over money to Li Shimin!
On the way to Cui Mansion, Lin Heng was also analyzing the reasons for Li Chengqian's failure.

Although I don’t know what Li Chengqian said, I can confirm that something must have touched the interests of the family.

Li Chengqian is the prince, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the future emperor. The family's investment in him is actually an act of obtaining long-term returns.

What Lin Heng wants to do now is to issue new currencies to reduce the unnecessary trouble caused by transactions, linking copper coins to silver coins, and linking silver coins to gold. The Royal Bank will determine the issuance volume and coordinate the national economy.

In other words, the value of currency depends on the amount of currency issuance, that is, the royal family determines the value of currency.

In this case, the entire Tang Dynasty's economy would be covered by the royal family, and the aristocratic families would naturally be included in the control.

It must be because of this.

In the car, Li Ningxi held Lin Heng's hand and asked curiously: "His Royal Highness went to negotiate with the aristocratic family? Is it Langjun Lin who wants to bring the aristocratic family in?"

Lin Heng nodded: "The combined wealth of the aristocratic families is comparable to half of the Tang Dynasty. If they join, it will actually be of great benefit to the popularization of new coins and banks this time. More importantly, to a certain extent Able to control the family."

Hearing this, Li Ningxi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The aristocratic family is not stupid. They have a bad relationship with the royal family. How can they join in? Lin Langjun should not bother."

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "That's not what you said. There must be advantages to the disadvantages. They are not fools, and they don't want to try it and see how it works."

"Then Ning Xi listens to Lin Langjun and goes to see it together."

Lin Heng's last visit to the Cui family's residence was to threaten them. After that, the family came to visit him on their own initiative, whether it was to discuss business or cooperation.

But Lin Heng didn't come here to cause trouble today, he just wanted to talk about things.

Cui Hong, who learned of the arrival of Lin Heng and his two men, went out to greet them personally, and then saluted: "See you, Your Royal Highness, Princess Lin, Consort Lin."

After saying that, he laughed: "I can't believe that Lin's consort can personally visit the poor manor. I'm really scared!"

Lin Heng smiled: "Why would Mr. Cui say that? We are all old acquaintances!"

Cui Hong took a look at Lin Heng, and had some guesses about Lin Heng's purpose, but he didn't dare to draw a conclusion at the moment, but he still invited the two of them into his house to entertain them with great gifts.

In the study, Lin Heng looked at Cui Hong and smiled: "Mr. Cui, how is Liuli's business going now? I heard that the Liuli market has been fully launched in the north."

Cui Hong hesitated a little. Could it be that Lin Heng came to talk about Liuli's business today?But now that the contract has been signed, if Lin Heng wants to cancel the cooperation directly, he will have to pay sky-high liquidated damages.

Is it to pave the way for what happens next?
Cui Hong couldn't make up his mind for a moment, but he still smiled and said: "Thanks to Prince Consort Tuolin, business is indeed good now. The annual revenue is about 150 million yuan. By the way, this month It’s time to settle my share with Prince Consort Lin, look at my memory, I’m getting old.”

Lin Heng shook his head: "I trust Mr. Cui on this matter, so I'm not worried. Moreover, now the business at home has been left to Uncle Wang to take care of. Mr. Cui will directly contact my Uncle Wang on this matter." Can."

Not a business matter?

Cui Hong pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "In recent days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has told me about something. Is it Consort Lin's plan to establish the Royal Bank?"

Lin Heng said with a smile: "Mr. Cui is the senior after all. This is why I am here today."

Cui Hong sighed slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also told me that day that he wanted the aristocratic family to join in."

"But nowadays, the aristocratic family needs too much money in business, and they can't spare any money at the moment. If the aristocratic family wants to join, it will be very difficult."

Li Chengqian came to visit that day and talked about this matter. At that time, he said that he wanted the aristocratic family to pay to join, or to take the lead in exchanging copper coins for silver coins, or to take out the money and store it in the royal bank to be established later. In short, it was like this statement.

Mr. Cui Hong is so confused that he can't even put his money in the Royal Bank!
Who is Li Shimin? The national treasury is so poor. What if he takes his own money in a war?
Moreover, Li Shimin was about to attack Korea. Cui Hong didn't know whether he was short of money, but he would panic as soon as he took out the money.

Moreover, Li Chengqian also talked about a gold standard system. Gold was exchanged for silver and copper coins were exchanged to form a certain exchange rate and then issued on the market. That is even more nonsense.Silver coins can be made by the royal family, but not others?

When the number of silver coins increases, their own silver coins will depreciate and become worthless. Then they will lose money once they hold a large number of silver coins.

This is too outrageous. I always feel that it was a trap set by Li Shimin for the family. He had to exchange his copper coins for silver coins, then issue a large number of silver coins to devalue his own money, and then collect the difference earned from it. The business of the family is comparable to that of the royal family. You have to be so smart, how can you not see through this?
Everyone in the family is wary of the royal family.

Lin Heng seemed to have guessed what Cui Hong was going to say, and he just smiled without explaining much.

"I came up with this plan. After all, it's a business. It's always annoying for me when I'm doing business. Countless cars have to be loaded with money for a transaction. One transaction is 10,000+10,000+ , it takes several days just to count the money, or you can only weigh the money by the kilogram, which is very troublesome."

"So I thought if I could add some currency, it would simplify things a lot."

These are indeed Lin Heng's thoughts. After all, sometimes this situation is too troublesome.

Cui Hong smiled and said: "Lin Prince Consort is young and doesn't know that these coins can't be easily changed. You said you wanted to issue some silver coins and then link them to gold. But you didn't expect that these things can be reproduced. Copper coins The cost of replicating is high and no one does it, but even if the cost of silver coins is high, the profit is huge."

"Once someone reproduces it, it will be very troublesome. If you use this to make gold, then the system will collapse directly."

"That's why the aristocratic family doesn't want to get involved. They would rather make transactions more complicated than do things that are harmful to themselves. Consort Lin can understand this, right?"

Lin Heng nodded: "I can understand this. It is natural for businessmen to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but sometimes this nature also means that they are not able to discover the best money-making opportunities in the first place."

Cui Hong narrowed his eyes, as if to say, I still want you to teach me?
If you didn't have so many formulas to suppress the family, how could I take you seriously?
"Regardless of whether the family participates or not, His Majesty will order the issuance of new currency in half a month."

Lin Heng said lightly.

Cui Hong chuckled: "Then I would like to congratulate Prince Consort Lin on his great victory in advance. I will..."

"The price of gold will also be finalized in the future and will not change."

Cui Hong was stunned for a moment.

The price of gold has been hammered out?
Over the years, the price of one tael of gold has fluctuated around one hundred guan. Now in Chang'an, the price of gold is [-] guan.

The family's gold reserves are more than 1 taels.

He couldn't help but curiously asked: "Consort Lin, can you tell me the exchange rate of gold for copper coins?"

Lin Heng shook his head and corrected: "It's the exchange rate of gold to silver coins to copper coins."

"His Majesty's plan has been settled. The copper coins will be exchanged for a silver coin of the same face value."

"One hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one tael of gold."

Cui Hong suddenly stood up and said with an excited look: "Isn't this just saying that one tael of gold can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins? Then wouldn't it mean that those who have gold now will make a huge fortune?"

In other words, because of the promulgation of this decree, the value of the Cui family's ten thousand taels of gold directly increased by [-]%?
Lin Heng smiled: "That's the truth."

"In other words, if a noble family has a lot of gold, they will make money in vain!"

Seeing Lin Heng's expression, Cui Hong immediately calmed down.

Once this kid talks like this, there's something wrong with him!
