Chapter 142 Man-made Disasters, Natural Disasters (Please recommend tickets, thank you!!!)

"A bank note? Such a strange name."

"Well, I've heard of it."

"Quick, let's hear it!"

"I heard that this is a gadget made by a bank in the border area for the convenience of doing business."

"It's written on paper. A silver ticket can be exchanged for a fixed amount of silver. It's easy to carry. There are businesses in Chang'an City that are starting to think about it!"

"Hiss, whose whimsy is this?"

The ministers chattered a lot, and quickly figured out the ins and outs of the banknote in Li Shimin's mouth.

The sharp-eyed people immediately saw through the advantages of the bank note.

But what does this have to do with the war against the Turks?
Someone raised his doubts.

Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and started his performance again, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"Foolishness!"

"These banknotes have flowed into Turkic territory in large quantities."

"You know, the Turkic people are very precious to this bank note now?"

"As long as you want to do business with them, you don't accept bank notes."

Wei Zheng frowned, puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, why?"

Li Shimin explained:

"I don't know. The bank said that when Turkic trades with Datang with bank notes, they can buy an extra ten taels of goods for every hundred taels."

"On the contrary, when the Datang caravan did business with the Turkic people, they could only buy 90 taels of goods for every one hundred taels of bank notes."

"The Turkic people are greedy, and they earn 20 taels for nothing. How are they willing to let it go?"

This made the ministers unable to listen to it anymore. In their view, this unreasonable concession to the Turkic people is not an enemy?

"Your Majesty, this is an act of treason!"

"Why should Tang's silver taels be given to the Turkic people for nothing?"

"I request that this bank be ransacked!"

The more radical ones have already opened their mouths, and even put on the hat of treason.

Those who were calmer fell into deep thought, thinking about the meaning of doing so.

"Copy the house?" Li Shimin deliberately lowered his face, and said, "You want to copy my house?"

? ? ? ? ?

The ministers were stunned, and the owner behind the co-authored bank was Li Shimin.

The front foot said that he wanted to fight the Turks, and the back foot said that he gave money to the Turks. What is the reason?
"Your Majesty's move must be very meaningful!" Wei Zheng sighed.

Li Shimin nodded and said:
"This bank note, also known as banknotes, is the method of the immortal master!"

"These Turkic people regard it as a treasure, but as long as I want to, I can turn these banknotes into a piece of waste paper at any time!"

"Now, do you know why I gave way to the Turks?"

Everyone woke up as if struck by lightning.

Although people in this era do not yet understand economic warfare.

But being an official to this extent is definitely not an ordinary role.

This is clearly a trick for the Turkic people. As long as His Majesty starts war against the Turkic people, all the bank notes in their hands will be voided.

With little effort, the wealth of the Turks disappeared out of thin air.

The Turkic interior is already full of chaos, so it will definitely make things worse!

"So it is, so it is!"

"Your Majesty has such an ingenious plan, the Turks are jumping into a trap by themselves, hahaha!"

"I didn't hear from His Majesty, is this the method of the immortal master?"

"Immortal master has a good opinion, it's hard for us to flatter a horse."

"It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

Li Shimin's face became even more smug when he heard the discussions of the officials.

Wei Zheng, who has always been stubborn, lost his temper at this moment.

He really didn't expect that Li Shimin, no, the immortal master would have such a ruthless move.

Li Shimin's words are not astonishing, and he will die endlessly, so he strikes while the iron is hot:

"The immortal master has already informed Yuzhen that there will still be heavy snowfall in Turkic territory this year."

"At that time, countless cattle and sheep will be killed and injured in the Turkic territory, and they will definitely come to the Datang caravan to buy food with silver tickets!"

"I will invalidate this banknote when the time comes. The Turkic people are destitute, and they are bound to commit crimes."

"This battle, I will win!"

Changsun Wuji reacted quickly, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is victorious! Great Tang is victorious!"

"Your Majesty Wansheng!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

All the officials in the hall responded one after another, even those from the powerful family did not dare to answer.

Under the pressure of the general situation, they cannot be tolerated to make different voices.

"Hahaha!" Li Shimin let out a long laugh. Since he ascended the throne, this was his happiest day in court.

"Everyone, the immortal master promised me that he has already brought a natural disaster to the Turks!"

"On the grassland, there must have been chaos. Has anyone got the news?"

Li Shimin still dare not admit that he did the rinderpest incident.

After all, he is the emperor. If he wants to say this, he will be infamous again.

But anyway, Jiang Sheng ordered him to do this, so he simply dumped the blame on Jiang Sheng.

Of course, this blame is the blame on him.

But if it was on Jiang Sheng, it would be the best proof of the great power of the immortal!
Who dares to judge the immortal?Think you live too long?
Sure enough, someone hesitated for a while, and then said:

"The minister received news from the frontier a few days ago that there seems to be rinderpest in the grassland."

"Look at the description, the scene is very tragic!"

"Before the cattle, sheep and livestock died, their bodies were festered, and they had diarrhea until their intestines burst."

"The milk from sick animals is full of blood!"

"The Turkic people don't know how to deal with it, so they can only keep migrating in order to avoid rinderpest."

"This matter is quite strange. This rinderpest is more common in some Turkic tribes. On the contrary, those small tribes don't seem to have such troubles."

"I was about to report the good news to His Majesty, but I never thought it was written by the immortal master!"

Changsun Wuji and Yu Chigong stood upright, keeping their eyes open, their noses in their eyes, their noses in their hearts, and they didn't show any flaws.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other with awe in their hearts.

The hall began to commotion again:
"This scene makes me shudder just listening to it."

"I've heard of rinderpest before. There are even herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland. Once it spreads, I don't know how many animals will die!"

"Isn't the fairy master's move hurting the harmony of heaven?"

"Speak carefully! That's a fairy! Isn't it normal for a fairy to bury millions of corpses when he gets angry?"

"That's right, the rinderpest and the heavy snow, the Turkic people are finished!"

"Oh? It's a plague?" Li Shimin pretended to be surprised, "I'll pass on the order quickly, and don't trade cattle and sheep with the Turkic people!"

In fact, he had already secretly warned that after Yu Chigong successfully "poisoned", the trade of cattle and sheep at the border has been suspended.

All the traded animals were not directly allowed to flow into the territory of Datang.

"Well, I still have a few ways to prevent this rinderpest from spreading into the Tang Dynasty."

After speaking, Li Shimin introduced several methods of disinfection, such as lime.

Rinderpest sounds scary, but the virus is actually very fragile, and it will soon be inactivated in high temperature, dry and other environments.

As long as strict measures are taken, and all sick animals are killed and disinfected immediately, this problem will not cause a major disaster.

Needless to say, these are Jiang Sheng's ideas for Li Shimin.

You can't let Li Er shoot his own foot with a rock, right?
If rinderpest is allowed to spread in the Tang Dynasty, it will really be worth the candle.
