God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 648 Unpredictable Prophet
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, all the ministers! A few days ago, I received a serious report about border robbery. Many businessmen were robbed of tens of thousands of money. This money is their hard-earned money!"

Liu Hongji said so, and especially called Li Chengqian, obviously to get his attention, meaning that this matter was related to him.

Someone said, "Doesn't this robbery happen every year? And it happens in the border areas, that's quite normal."

"The imperial court continued to attack, but these people came from foreigners, which is also a big problem for governance."

Others said so, and more people thought, what does this have to do with currency?
"Yeah, the frontier issue has always been a big issue, so it can't be related to something!"

Liu Hongji said:

"As we all know, because of the currency, the loss is even greater. It is a huge loss at every turn. In this way, who would dare to do business in the frontier? In this way, how can we ensure the safety of the people of Tang Dynasty? In the past, if you want to rob so much money, you need a few big carriages, but today, it only takes one hand to take away their entire net worth. Think about it, don’t you think it’s very scary?”

Liu Hongji's arguments have been recognized by some people.

On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with this.

More and more people joined the ranks of supporting him.

It's like they're on a date.

Someone else said: "It is true. While banknotes bring us convenience, they also bring a lot of uncertainty to people's dangers. People's lives and property cannot be effectively guaranteed."

"Yeah, it's possible that a year's or even a lifetime of hard work will be in vain for one snatch!"

"If this continues, how will our Tang Dynasty expand? How will we develop the economy?"

……

The opinions of these people were surprisingly unified, as if they had agreed in advance.

Li Chengqian knew that they were all conservatives, so since he implemented paper money, he must implement it.No matter who comes to stop it, it will have no effect.

Besides, in history, what kind of reform is not difficult?

Moreover, he also thought about how to introduce the next task.It happened that Liu Hongji stepped forward, brought convenience to himself, and laid a solid foundation.

Above the court, there are still many people who support Li Chengqian.

They are deeply skeptical of these people's arguments.

The ministers headed by Liu Hongji bared their teeth and claws, which is annoying.

Without waiting for everyone to say something, Liu Hongji said directly:

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent matter, please decree to suspend it! Keep people safe!"

Liu Hongji is really shameless. In the name of people's safety, it is impossible to forcibly suspend the currency reform.

He seemed a little anxious, so he directly asked Li Shimin to stop.

But when everything is done, how can we stop?And currency can be regarded as more good than harm.

Li Shimin was silent, he said: "I want to hear Gao Ming's meaning."

After Li Shimin read Liu Hongji's notebook, he became conflicted.Therefore, he wanted to hear what Li Chengqian meant.

At this time, Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, I have a few points to refute."

"Say!"

Liu Hongji showed a disdainful attitude.

"The first point is that the reform of the currency can be said to be more convenient than the disadvantages. Do you dare to say that the old currency must be good? But all reforms will be limited by difficulties. Shang Yang entered the Qin Dynasty from the Wei Kingdom, and proposed to abolish wells and emphasize agriculture. A set of reforms and innovative development strategies such as mulberry award, military industry award, unified measurement and county system. After Shang Yang’s reform, Qin’s economy has developed, the combat effectiveness of the army has continued to increase, and it has developed into the most prosperous country.

We can't waste food because of choking, keep good things aside, and keep backward things as family heirlooms.

The second point, when it comes to the frontier issue, it has been a problem for a long time, and the loss is not big or small. It is not enough for Fang to send troops. I suggest threatening them with trade and letting them send troops to govern. "

Li Chengqian raised two points first, expressing his opposition to Liu Hongji's plan.

Liu Hongji said:
"This method only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. This is essentially a currency issue."

Although Li Chengqian listed many points to refute Liu Hongji, but Liu Hongji still stubbornly believed that this was the case.

However, all the ministers agreed that what Li Chengqian said was not wrong.

Gao Shilian said: "The frontier issue has been like this since ancient times, and it cannot be magnified because of individual cases. Your Majesty, I think His Royal Highness is right."

Du Ruhui said:

"We all benefit from the currency reform, and it cannot be dismissed because it is not good at all!"

And someone who is neutral said:

"If there is a problem, it must be solved. It is not just a currency problem. There are many problems. It can only be said that the currency is only an inducement, but it cannot be said to be the essence."

No matter what, everyone agrees with Li Chengqian's statement.

Originally, Li Chengqian wanted to make a proposal, but Liu Hongji disrupted the rhythm.

But as smart as him, how could he be disturbed?

He even spoke bluntly in front of Liu Hongji's case.

"Finally, in the continuous implementation of the currency, it is inevitable that some troubles will be encountered. Therefore, the king also prepared a set of proposals yesterday, which are about some adverse effects on people after the currency reform."

After speaking, he showed a thick book of proposals.

Once the last point was said, everyone was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian made preparations in advance, and every step of his reforms was carried out in an orderly manner.

It's like a clever calculation, he figured everything out.

Liu Hongji on the other side was unhappy.

"Then, please explain, His Royal Highness, what kind of solution did you propose?"

The currency reform has just been completed, so what is Li Chengqian going to do?

Is it another reform?

Everyone was puzzled, and Li Shimin was even more curious.

"Gao Ming, is it the plan mentioned yesterday?"

Li Shimin thought of this immediately.

Li Chengqian nodded, and said: "That's right! My son was going to mention it just now, but I didn't expect Duke Kui to propose something else. It just so happens that my proposal can solve his problem."

That's a real prophet, at least that's what people think.

"Okay! Then I want to hear what your plan is like."

Not only Li Shimin wants to know, everyone wants to know.

Every time, what Li Chengqian brings is novelty, and will bring about earth-shaking changes.

"Your Majesty, this is a proposal made by my son, please read it!"
