Chapter 113

Comrade Li Er finally couldn't bear the repeated bombing of Nanping and Lanling, and raised his hand to surrender. Comrade Li Er sat there with a bitter face and said: "Okay, I understand, what happened yesterday was because of your request. Yes, it has nothing to do with the boy of the Wang family. I don’t want to blame him. I still have something to talk about with my lovers, so you should go to the inner palace to meet your mother and queen.”

Nanping and Lanling knew that Wang Ke was fine now, so they stopped talking immediately.

After saluting to Comrade Li Er, Nanping was about to leave, but Lan Ling pulled Comrade Li Er's sleeve and asked, "Father, can the general go with us to the inner palace to meet the empress and empress?"

Comrade Li Er shook his head and said: "That's not okay, I still have something to talk to him about. Go ahead, don't dawdle here."

Nanping Lala Lanling, motioned her to stop talking, the two turned around the screen behind Comrade Li Er, and went to the inner palace.

Then Comrade Li Er turned around and said to Wang Ke: "You boy, what method did you use to get both my princesses here to intercede with you?"

Wang Ke laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the minister wants the princess to come, but the princess is afraid that the emperor will blame the minister, so she asks to come and clarify the matter with the emperor. It has nothing to do with the minister!"

Comrade Li Er gave Wang Ke a sideways look, and said, "I won't pursue this matter, you should tell me what you think. It's been so long, so you should be more comprehensive."

Wang Ke pretended to be confused and asked: "What's your idea? Your Majesty, I don't have any idea!"

Comrade Li Er got a little angry now, and said in his heart: "I'm pretending to be confused. When I was talking to my two daughters just now, wouldn't you ask these three people? It seems that I won't give you a little bit, and you still don't will speak."

Comrade Li Er said lightly: "I don't have an idea, right? Well, I guess I can think of it by pulling it out and hitting dozens of sticks first."

When Wang Ke heard this, her face turned pale with fright. With such small arms and legs, let alone dozens of sticks, I probably couldn't bear even a few sticks.

In fact, he didn't think about it, if Comrade Li Er really wanted to beat him, why would he say dozens of sticks instead of specifying how many.This is to pull yourself out, and the person who beats him doesn't dare to beat him casually.If something good or bad happens, Comrade Li Er will come to denial, and the person who executed the sentence will not ask for the punishment himself.

Seeing a few eunuchs thinking about coming, Wang Ke really panicked, but he had pretended to be confused just now, and now he said it right away, probably the beating would not be able to escape.

Not to mention, Wang Ke is really right to think this way. After Comrade Li Er asked someone to take Wang Ke out and beat him, that's what he thought. If Wang Ke immediately said that he remembered something, he still had to Pull out to fight.Of course, it was just a symbolic beating. Comrade Li Er still had to take care of Nanping and Lanling to make trouble for him.

Wang Ke pretended to be pitiful, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, my lords, please remind me, I really can't remember."

Comrade Li Er sat silently behind the court case, and the few dead old men sitting below were a little embarrassed. Anyway, today's incident was caused by them, although they also knew that Comrade Li Er They were just trying to scare Wang Ke, but now that they were like this, they might have changed from scaring to beating. If so, they would feel sorry for Wang Ke.

Changsun Wuji peeked at Comrade Li Er, gritted his teeth and said to Wang Ke in a low voice: "Nephew, don't carry it, and tell the emperor what you think. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you today."

Although Changsun Wuji's voice was low, everyone heard it.

Comrade Li Er was just trying to scare Wang Ke, and he also pretended not to hear what Changsun Wuji said clearly, so he took the opportunity to get off the donkey and said, "Now Master Changsun has told you, you should remember now."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui listened to Changsun Wuji's words sincerely, and when they heard Comrade Li Er's words again, they were about to spit out, but in front of Comrade Li Er, they really didn't have the courage, so they could only hold back As a result, his face was suffocated, how can I put it, it is as ugly as it is ugly, and his face is still blue-purple.

Of course Wang Ke also understood, immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said again and again: "I remembered, I remembered, if Master Changsun reminded me, I really didn't remember it." Salute and thank you.

Now, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't hold back any longer, and they opened their mouths and laughed loudly, regardless of what Comrade Li Er would think.Comrade Li Er thought that they had seen through his idea of ​​scaring Wang Ke, and he was laughing that Wang Ke was scared enough by himself, so he also laughed complacently.

Only Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This is really not a family. If you don't enter a family, the emperor and the boy of the Wang family are really a virtue."

After everyone finished laughing, Comrade Li Er said slowly, "Boy of the Wang family, can we talk now?"

Wang Ke settled down, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, it's not that I refuse to say it, it's because the matter is so important that I dare not say it!"

Seeing Wang Ke being so serious, Comrade Li Er also became solemn, and said in a deep voice: "You speak out first, and I will discuss it with all the ministers. If it works, use it. If it doesn't work, it's nothing to do with me chatting with you." .”

Wang Ke glanced at Changsun Wuji and the three of them, and saw that the three of them were looking at him with expressions encouraging him to speak out. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. I'll just say what I think, and I'll return it to you." Your Majesty and all the adults please consider it."

Wang Ke was forced to say it, but before he said it, he asked Changsun Wuji first: "May I ask Mr. Changsun, compared with the mining of gold and silver mines, the mining of copper mines in my dynasty is better." Which one feels more."

Regarding this question, Changsun Wuji did not answer right away, but thought for a while, calculated silently in his heart, and then said: "Judging from the quantities reported every year from various places, the mining volume of copper is still the largest, followed by silver, and gold." for the least."

Wang Ke thought to himself, this must be the case, otherwise gold and silver would be cheaper than copper.

However, Wang Ke did not say this, but followed Changsun Wuji's words and said: "That's it. As far as I know, the output of copper is more than silver, and silver is bigger than gold. That's why gold is more expensive than silver." , the fact that silver is more expensive than copper.”

Of course, Wang Ke would not talk about the reserves of any minerals in the world. One is that he is not very clear. The biggest problem is that if he talks about this, he has to explain a lot.

He was simply afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly, because he only learned a little bit of information from newspapers, magazines, and TV in later generations, and he had no choice but to say that he was ugly in detail.

Wang Ke went on to say: "We all know that no matter how much the imperial court increases the amount of coins produced every year, the folks still feel that they are not enough, and barter still occurs from time to time. Coupled with the weight of the coins themselves, it is necessary to carry out a large batch of coins. The delivery of coins is a big problem in the transaction. Let’s talk about our monthly salary. It’s not much, but every time the salary comes, doesn’t every adult have to hire A car is being pulled home. The family has to find a special room to store these coins. It looks like the whole room is full, but when you count it, there are actually not many.”

As soon as Wang Ke said this, Comrade Li Er and the three dead old men laughed, and they were deeply touched by what Wang Ke said, and felt that what Wang Ke said was indeed the truth.

Wang Ke changed the subject, and continued in a questioning tone: "Why can't we find a way to solve this problem? We must not only make the coins meet the needs of use, but also make me no longer focus on the demand for copper. Controversy arises. As long as such a solution can be found, I think, all troubles will be solved and vanished."

As soon as these words came out, not only Comrade Li Er's face became serious, but the three important officials of the Tang Dynasty also fell into deep thought. For a while, the entire imperial study room was silent.

It took a long time before Fang Xuanling broke the silence, and said, "My lord, you just briefly stated your idea that day, and I still have some doubts in my heart. After listening to your analysis today, I really feel that Now, it’s really impossible not to make innovations in this matter. Don’t be tricky, just talk about it once.”

Comrade Li Er asked strangely: "Fang Aiqing, do you all know what this idea is?"

When Fang Xuanling heard it, he screamed in his heart. He accidentally slipped his mouth, and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it is like this. The time is tight that day, and Mr. Wang just gave a general idea. I didn't understand it thoroughly, so I never dared to talk about it with the emperor. I also ask the emperor not to blame the minister for concealing the crime."

Comrade Li Er did not delve into it, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, now is not the time to pursue anyone. Boy, you should speak quickly. I am also attracted by your words."

Wang Ke sorted out his thoughts and said: "My minister thinks this way, can the court issue a decree to list gold and silver as legal currency on the basis of using coins in the future, and exchange them with coins at a certain ratio? In the future, the minting of coins will be reduced, and the problem of copper can be alleviated; it will also provide a lot of convenience for people who go out to carry money; in terms of taxation, using gold and silver instead of coins and objects for collection is also beneficial to the government. storage and transportation. I don’t know what the emperor and your lords think?”

As soon as this remark came out, the three dead old men didn't care about Comrade Li Er's presence, and started discussing with each other. Comrade Li Er supported the case and looked at them without blinking.

Wang Ke gently walked back to his seat and sat down. Now that he has finished what he wants to say, the rest is not his business. As for whether it is feasible, he will not care about it. That was decided by Comrade Li Er and these three dead old men.

At the end of the discussion, Fang Xuanling stood up and made a concluding statement: "Your Majesty, after the discussion, I feel that Mr. Wang's proposal is feasible. Now we only need to calculate the amount of gold, silver and copper mined. It should be enough to set the exchange ratio between them. There will be no major changes to my Tang's currency system, and it can be implemented soon."

Wang Ke was still a little worried. He was afraid that once it was implemented, the existing currency system of the Tang Dynasty would be completely destroyed. If something happened, it would be a big trouble.

Wang Ke hurriedly followed Fang Xuanling's words and said: "I would like to ask the emperor and all the lords to think carefully before drawing conclusions. I am really afraid that something will go wrong. At that time, I can't afford it."

Du Ruhui understood what Wang Ke was afraid of, stood up after Wang Ke finished speaking, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang. We have already discussed this matter very well. Mr. Wang's proposal is just to supplement the existing system. , and did not implement a completely different system, so there will not be any major problems, even if there are some minor problems, they can be modified and supplemented during implementation, it doesn’t matter.”

Comrade Li Er saw that the important ministers of the court were all in favor, so he nodded and said: "That's it, what is needed now is to calculate the exchange rate, and then start to implement it."

Seeing that Comrade Li Er agreed, Wang Ke blurted out without thinking, "Don't worry, I have already thought about this ratio. The exchange ratio between silver and coins is [-] coins, which is the same as usual. Money is exchanged for one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver is exchanged for one tael of gold, this ratio is very appropriate."

Could it be inappropriate? In the following dynasties, the exchange ratio between copper coins and gold and silver has always been like this, and it has been used for thousands of years. Wang Ke just used it in advance.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke and said: "Boy of the Wang family, it seems that you have already thought about everything, why didn't you take the initiative to tell me? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Wang Ke heard that Comrade Li Er's words were somewhat dissatisfied with himself, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't talk about it, it's really that these matters are of great importance, and I can't be involved in them. If I'm not in my position, I can't manage my affairs." .”

Comrade Li Er said bitterly: "Don't you just feel that you can't justly participate in political affairs? Well, let me think about it, what kind of seat will I give you, so that you can have any good ideas, and I will tell you right away." I, lest it will be like this time again, let me think for a long time and still not understand what the solution is."

Fang Xuanling also joked beside him: "It's still the emperor who thinks thoughtfully. My lord Xiao Wang is very thoughtful in everything he thinks of. We can also get some cheap and save a lot of homework."

Wang Ke didn't expect that with just one word, he would get himself into it again, and now he was completely dumbfounded.And if Comrade Li Er really wanted to arrange a position for himself, wouldn't he have to be like his father, who had to get up before dawn to go to court, and if something happened, he wouldn't be able to go home after dark.I don't have time to go to sleep, let alone sleep, I have to be as tired as a dog
Wang Ke is crying now, why do I have so many things, let them figure it out by themselves, what to say.

Wang Ke asked with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, is that minister going to court every day?"

Comrade Li Er said with a smirk on his face: "That's for sure, so there's no need to ask. But I can also make an agreement with you. If you can come up with a good way to persuade me not to let you go to heaven every day." Chao, that's fine. I'm afraid you don't have that ability. Hehe, boy, I'll wait for you to come."

As soon as Wang Ke heard this, she felt relieved, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Comrade Li Er said solemnly: "Of course I take it seriously, when will my words not count?"

Wang Ke smiled and stopped talking. He waited for Comrade Li Er to arrange a new position for himself, and then he went to tell Comrade Li Er his solution, and he believed that no matter which minister heard his method, They all agree with it with both hands, because Wang Ke didn't think of this solution for himself alone, but for the benefit of everyone.
