Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Wearing the Gong uniform and being honored by the title?

Zhao Pu heard the surprise in the voice and looked slightly sideways only to see the official's dark face.

Well, it's already dark, so naturally you can't see anything at this moment.

However, Zhao Pu also understood the officials' surprise. After all, needless to say, the customs after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty were very different from those in Zhenguan and Kaiyuan.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the emperor would be honored before the court, but it would be unimaginable to publicly wear the official uniform and honor him before the court.

As for the courtiers who openly came forward to ask for the Empress Wu's old news, Zhao Pu just listened and passed it.

There is probably quite a lot of room for discussion as to whether there is some temptation or some sincerity in the above list of this letter.

Zhao Guangyi's mentality was a little more relaxed - look at his brother's heir, everything that can be praised is not the emperor's internal affairs, how can he not be a coward?

So Zhao Guangyi agreed with the light curtain:

This is more appropriate. Empress Wu's governance of the country is not so much high-profile, but rather similar to when Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was the king of Qin.

Crushing into battle and fighting to be the first, with the remaining majesty to seize the enemy, this is a very powerful strategy to control the government.

Glancing at his brother who was talking at length, Zhao Kuangyin put on a friendly tone and said:

Does Zeping understand this task?

Zhao Pu lowered his head and thought while laughing in his heart. King Jin's words were too straightforward.

If Wu Zetian is compared to the King of Qin and the people, then later generations will say that Liu E is completely opposite to Empress Wu. Who should she be compared to? Prince Jiancheng of Xuanwumen died?

It's not worth talking about, but when he thought about what officials had said before about the Zhenzong's shameless enshrinement of Zen, as well as his evasive words when talking about the alliance and the annual coins, Zhao Pu also felt a little helpless.

At this moment, after hearing Zhao Kuangyin's inquiry, he finally gathered his thoughts and said seriously:

Since ancient times, Yizhou has been rich in trade and poor in gold and copper. Businessmen in Shu have a good way of making money, but they only suffer from bad iron and bad money.

I also heard in Heyang that to buy silk in Shu requires a mule to carry a hundred catties of iron money, which is very inconvenient.

Zhao Kuangyin also understood this. A piece of silk weighs only half a catty, but it requires a hundred catties of iron coins to trade. So why don't businessmen calculate money in terms of silk?

And if this thin piece of paper can be worth half a catty of silk, equivalent to a hundred catties of iron money, then the merchants probably have no reason to use it.

But the problem is equally prominent:

Credit currency? Excessive issuance? Harvesting people's wealth?

He knew all the words, but he didn't understand them when put together. Coupled with the light curtain's ruthless comment that I don't even understand the physical currency system, Zhao Kuangyin felt a little anxious at the moment.

This feeling is like seeing a golden mountain but not being able to enter it, which is particularly uncomfortable.

Zhao Guangyi, who was standing next to him, was not annoyed. He just wrote down words such as Sui coins, Heavenly Book, Farce, Feng Chan, etc., intending to think about it carefully and try to piece together a complete context.

Why didn't brother tell him these things?

…

Seeing Jiaozi's appearance in the light curtain, Liu Bei immediately became nervous:

Kong Ming, the golden ticket from Yizhou...

Don't worry, my lord, the golden tickets have been issued, so please use them with caution.

Nowadays, from Dujiangyan to the East China Sea, merchants all ask for Yizhou gold tickets to facilitate trade.

Kong Ming first gave his lord a reassurance and at the same time nuzzled towards Lu Su.

Lu Su was helpless, but still stood up together and said:

As Kong Ming said, before leaving Jiangdong, Su Ye had heard that on the New Year's Day, the Gu family would spend money to buy gold tickets to win money.

In fact, at this moment Lu Su felt deeply about what later generations called credit currency.

After all, no matter how difficult it is to imitate the golden ticket, in the final analysis it is still paper, neither gold nor copper nor silk.

Large families in Jiangdong can use it, firstly because the Shu brocade and Shu sugar purchased from this product can be resold at several times the profit.

Secondly, I was naturally impressed by Xuande Gong's achievements. Jingzhou defeated Cao, Yizhou and Hanzhong were defeated.

Now that Guanzhong has been decided, Lu Su can already imagine that the Jiangdong family members who are nominally loyal to Sun Hou may privately offer huge profits to buy this golden ticket.

Credibility is to let the people trust and use it. From this, we can see that Kong Ming quietly planned the golden ticket, but from this we can see how many people believe in Xuande Gong.

Kong Ming did not have such complicated thoughts as Lu Su. He just looked at the drawings preserved by Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty and thought that he might be able to print another version of the golden ticket.

However, such a decision is not easy to make. It is necessary to collect the official and market data of Jiangling, Chengdu, Hanzhong, to calculate the gap in coins, and then to calculate the output of the fields and workshops before making a proposal.

In fact, Kong Ming was extremely cautious about the banknotes he tried to print. He not only had Chengdu's inventory to anchor its value, but also had the official market under Xuande Gong as a guarantee, supplemented by the lord's military record and reputation, and Liu Ba, who was proficient in property. Only when you are based in Chengdu can you implement it carefully.

…

This paper money strategy is not a means of seizing wealth like the White Deer Coin?

Li Shimin blinked and his thoughts gradually became more active, but at the same time, the instinct in his heart quickly suppressed this thought:

Later generations criticized Song Po a lot but still praised his prosperous trade, but they were still accused of not understanding currency.

Not to mention Tang, even though the younger generation also said that Jianghuai would be troubled by bad money in the future, but after all, there is no such worry now, right?

As for the difference between Jiaozi and Bailu coins, the officials could see it at a glance, and later generations also pointed out that the decline of Jiaozi was due to excessive hair and excessive hair.

For a moment, everyone frowned in thought.

But soon, Changsun Wuji sighed, and Fang and Du also looked at each other and shook their heads together.

If we can set up a department to control it, it might be a policy that benefits the people. Du Ruhui affirmed.

However, this evil of indiscriminate posting is absolutely difficult to eliminate. Fang Xuanling said more decisively.

Changsun Wuji sneered again and again:

If this strategy is to be implemented, the emperor must be able to clearly understand the state of the country, the officials must have no self-interest, and the subordinate officials must be diligent and talented.

If not, if there is a slight disaster, this thing will poison the people and even more harm the money. Although it will be beneficial to the country, it will cause hundreds of harms.

One benefit, one hundred disadvantages, this is Changsun Wuji's assertion about this credit currency, and Fang Xuanling also agrees.

But Du Ruhui was rare and insisted on his own opinion:

In my opinion, if we in the Tang Dynasty can capture the city, open up the sea, and level the four directions, the country's expenditure will be infinitely greater than that of the previous Han Dynasty.

Gold and copper can be used many times, but good money can only be increased by a small amount. Only in this way can we accumulate bad money.

Looking at this statement, the currency that is guaranteed by the country's reputation is the best way. Now that we know it, if we are afraid of its evil and discard it like worn-out shoes, how is it any different from those who give up eating because of choking?

The rare disagreement between the two sides allowed Li Shimin to make a decision, but for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, if he was asked to talk about how to go straight to the enemy's head and break the formation, even ten thousand words would be trivial.

But when it comes to wealth, I immediately feel a little confused, and I feel a little embarrassed when the two sides are not giving in.

Seeing her beloved bewildered, Empress Changsun said warmly:

In my opinion, since it is difficult to determine the pros and cons, your Majesty why not open a market to trade sheep in Yunnei Mayi and other places, find a market and try it out for a year or two, and observe the results so that you can understand the pros and cons, and then make a decision.

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up:

I'll let the Turkic elders comment on whether it's good or not.

I just lament that there is a super-worldly strategy now, but we can only suffer the people of the Tang Dynasty and let the Turkic brothers experience this future-generation strategy first.

Li Jiaerlang suddenly felt that the title of Khan on his head shone brighter:

Just follow what the Queen said.

After settling the matter, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty expressed his curiosity about the Qing Dynasty:

Declaring war on all nations? Why is the situation in the Qing Dynasty so weird?

If he had known about this declaration of war on all nations, Li Shimin would be amazed.

But now we know that since the Ming Dynasty, China has been lagging behind the West in terms of national power, and it was previously said that the Qing Dynasty was defeated by a navy of more than 10,000 people and the whole country surrendered. Later generations rarely said that it was the disaster of seclusion.

Based on what he saw in his heart, Li Shimin felt that the Qing Dynasty's declaration of war by all nations was more like Yelang's arrogance.

Moreover, even though he was still in power, he was still illiterate, which made him unable to understand.

After all, Liu E was also praised for her ability to study diligently despite her humble background. In the end, even though she wore a military uniform and was contested, she still managed to leave a virtuous reputation.

The same goes for Wu's daughter, who is now the second in the palace. She is extremely diligent in studying.

Why does this Qing seem to be falling back as it gets more alive?
