Chapter 153 Jiang Sheng's Conspiracy

"Front page headlines?"

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then heard Jiang Sheng continue:

"It's the first page of the newspaper! Use the most eye-catching headline to write the amount of their donation."

"Let me tell you, you must first build momentum. The Tang Dynasty was insulted by the Turks before. At this time, you must write a special letter, emphasizing the correctness and importance of this war."

"Scholars are the easiest to get hot-blooded and stir up the fire in their hearts. Whoever does not support this war will be scolded by them."

"At this time, you can ask those gentry families to donate again, and you can see if they donate."

Changsun Wuji read softly: "The five surnames and Qiwang have always regarded themselves as the top scholars in the world. If they don't donate, they will be criticized by thousands of people and their status in the hearts of the world will definitely plummet. This is unacceptable to them."

"That's right!" Jiang Sheng nodded approvingly, "Not only that, but if they don't donate enough, they will be scolded to death by scholars all over the world."

"Who doesn't know that these powerful people are so rich? Now that they are going to contribute to the country, they are still picking and searching. They have to poke the backbone of scholars!"

"In this way, they can also lower their reputation, killing two birds with one stone!"

"No!" Li Shimin frowned, "Master Immortal, if they donate a lot, wouldn't it be for them?"

"Hahaha!" Seeing Jiang Sheng's caring eyes like a fool, Ying Zheng smiled, "Brother, you are really stupid!"

"This newspaper must have been published after they finished donating."

"If these gentry donate enough taels of silver, you will not send it."

"If you don't donate enough, if you publicize it, even if they make up for it afterwards, they will still be criticized."

Jiang Sheng laughed and said, "Look at Old Zhao, and you'll figure it out immediately. The referees are all yours, so what do they use to fight you?"

Li Shimin came to his senses in an instant, this trick is wonderful!
Anyway, whether the newspaper is published or not, it is up to him to decide.

"A clever trick, the fairy master has never let me down when it comes to conspiracies and tricks!"

Facing Jiang Sheng's downcast face, Li Shimin quickly raised his wine glass: "Hey, I said something wrong, I'll punish myself with a drink."

……

After drinking and eating, it is natural to have some entertainment.

After playing several rounds of mahjong, everyone was yawning.

"Okay, let's call it a day, let's go!"

Seeing that the night was getting dark, Jiang Sheng simply sent a few people back.

"Thank you Immortal Master for giving me the gun. With this thing by my side, I can rest easy." Ying Zheng held the Desert Eagle in his hand and said goodbye to Jiang Sheng with a smile.

"Satisfied with wine and food tonight, comfortable, comfortable! Thank you, Master Immortal, for your hospitality!"

"Let me take my leave first, and come back to bother me later."

"Brother, you are going back now, you have to deal with these nobles severely!"

Ying Zheng patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and exhorted.

"It's easy to say, I've wanted to mess with them for a long time." Li Shimin said with his tongue out.

"Okay, okay! My second wave of immortal food is about to mature, and I will share some with you when the time comes, and help you go to the Turkic battle, so it can be regarded as repaying your kindness of war horses and flour!"

"Then I will thank Shi Huang first!"

"There is no need to be too polite. Since we are both emperors, we should meet each other by fate."

"Let's go, let's go, Master Immortal, we bid farewell!"

While joking, everyone dispersed.

Jiang Sheng watched them leave and went back to clean up.

……

After returning to Datang, more than half a month has passed by Li Shimin's side, and the potatoes have matured.

On the second day of his return, he non-stop summoned ministers and common people to watch the ceremony together.

The level of land farming in Datang is still higher than that in Daqin, and the yield of potatoes produced is more than [-] catties per mu.

That's right, four thousand catties.

A catty in the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to less than 250 grams today, while a catty in the Great Qin Dynasty was only more than [-] grams.

In conversion, Datang's yield per mu is naturally higher.

This number stimulated all the people present to be grateful to Jiang Sheng and Li Shimin.

What is fairy trace?
This is the miracle!
The average yield of grain in the Tang Dynasty was only one to two stones per mu, which was equivalent to a hundred catties.

The yield of this potato has abruptly added a zero to the end. How can this teach people not to be crazy?

Li Shimin was standing on the high platform at that time, listening to the people kneeling down and shouting: "Long live your majesty, long live the immortal master!"

Even Wei Zheng, who has always been honest with him, praised him again and again from the bottom of his heart.

It's a pity that the wind wasn't strong enough that day, otherwise Lao Li wouldn't know where he was going to fly - he was too floaty.

Li Shimin even asked people to write articles and print newspapers overnight.

On the second day, he asked people to distribute the newspaper while the iron was hot.

On the one hand, this newspaper recorded the scene of the day when the celestial grains matured, and praised Li Shimin and Jiang Sheng.

On the other hand, it mentioned the news that Datang was preparing to launch troops against the Turks.

Why the Tang Dynasty suffered from the Turks for a long time, foreign barbarians, who did not believe in ethics, did not respect the covenant, and often violated the Tang Dynasty.

Burning, killing, looting, all kinds of crimes, the people in the frontier suffered unspeakably.

Now His Majesty is blessed by the Immortal Master, and is determined to avenge the shame and promote the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, the writing is quite level, a few words can make people see the kind of blood pressure rise.

In fact, the writing is not exaggerated. The Weishui alliance happened just last year.

The people of Datang will never forget this humiliation.

Before this newspaper was issued, Li Shimin issued a secret order to withdraw all the caravans that had previously done business with the Turks.

At the same time, he announced in his capacity as the Son of Heaven that those companies' previous behavior of making profit was in collusion with the enemy country, and their responsible persons should be "taken down and questioned".

All the bank notes will be directly invalidated, and no communication with Turkic people will be allowed from now on.

Anyway, the two countries are going to war, and it makes sense to do so.

These banknotes are issued by the firm itself, so what does it have to do with me, Li Shimin?
And after this battle, Li Shimin will issue banknotes as the official Datang, and all trade with foreign countries will be settled with these banknotes.

To be honest, doing this is a bit deceptive, but this is politics, and it only needs to stand up from public opinion.

Perhaps after this incident, some countries will not be willing to accept Datang's bank notes.

But if you don't need this banknote, then don't do business with Datang.

Businessmen are all profit-seeking, and they are certainly unwilling to let go of the profits in cross-border trade.

And if there is a country that officially bans Datang's banknotes, it will be even better. When you get back and free your hands, the fight will be over!

And when bank notes are circulated among many countries, the biggest beneficiary is Datang.

Faced with the ancient people who don't even have serious currency, this move is simply a blow to dimensionality reduction.

When they reacted and found that their country's wealth had been plundered by Datang invisibly, they were powerless to fight back against Datang.

You know, if your fist is big enough, you can do whatever you want.
