Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

And all the people in the academy also believed that there must be a certain deadline for the issuance of paper and pen.

Issuing it hastily will not have any benefits except that it will destroy Datang's inherent economic system.

To put it bluntly, Datang does not yet have the conditions to issue pens and paper.

This is a defect caused by the environment.

Some people have said that the first batch of currency can be made in the form of bills.

In other words, the Liu family's strong economic strength and size are used to endorse banknotes.

Experiment on a small scale first, and then roll it out gradually.

This statement was reduced to a laughing stock in the academy

Not to mention the Liu family, even if the imperial court personally endorses the banknotes, what effect can it have?

There is no need to compete with the whole world, just one city of Chang'an is enough to easily tear apart anyone's reputation.

No matter how big the Liu family is, it cannot be compared to a huge city that has developed for a thousand years.

No matter how strong the imperial court is, it cannot regulate the trading behavior of all common people.

As a result, the academy launched a fierce debate.

The School of History uses history as its assessment, the School of Mathematics uses data as support, and the School of Liberal Arts cites classics to demonstrate their views.

Later, disputes between various colleges simply formed.

In the end, it was the dean himself who came forward and strongly suppressed the farce, which ended the farce.

Gradually, the theory of banknotes became a scourge in the minds of academy students.

How to issue it is open to discussion, but in the consensus of everyone, issuing currency now will inevitably cause irreversible consequences!

This is where Li Yuanli's worries and fears came from.

He knew very well how much lethal power was hidden in that seemingly flimsy piece of paper in Feng Rong's hand!

Liu Bai stared at Li Yuanli for a moment, then slowly said: "That's why I went to Jiangnan, and that's why there is a supervisory team, so this trip must be extremely dangerous!"

Everyone didn't know what the two of them were talking about.

But they were all surprised to find that Li Yuanli was sweating like rain, shaking like chaff!

Liu Bai didn't want to explain anything to them.

To be honest, Liu Bai didn't know how to explain it to them.

Strictly speaking, it is indeed too early to issue currency now.

The smoke of history is rarely reflected in blood and fire.

More, it is a subtle killing knife

Liu Bai, who was originally a historian, knew too well how powerful paper money was.

He named the banknotes 'Da Tang Treasures' because he wanted to learn from the lessons of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the 'Daming Treasure Banknote' was issued briefly.

Once the boxy paper currency appeared, it quickly occupied the currency market in the Central Plains.

There is no doubt about the advanced anti-counterfeiting means.

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of confidence, and once thought that his feat could reverse the trauma caused by the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the land of the Central Plains.

The initial effect was just as he imagined.

The trade in the Central Plains is unprecedentedly prosperous.

But it didn't take long, only three months after the issuance of the Daming Treasure Banknote, the sharpness of this 'killing knife' was fully revealed!

The "Currency Reversal Law" enacted in the ninth year of Hongwu completely reduced the banknotes, which were originally beneficial to the development of trade, into a tool for the upper class to exploit the common people.

Inflation, currency system corruption, management chaos, only in and out

With the rapid growth of prices, the credibility of the imperial court is on the verge of collapse.

The later emperors formulated some policies to barely maintain the Daming treasures.

But the effect was so little that during the Hongzhi period, the Daming treasure banknote lost its meaning of existence and was completely reduced to a laughing stock.

In fact, if the currency can be issued effectively, maybe the Ming Dynasty's Guozuo can be extended for decades, or even hundreds of years!

Perhaps, the civil fort change that turned the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline would never have occurred at all.

Regardless of whether the emperor is stupid or not, whether the army can attack the strong economic strength of the Central Plains is enough to swallow any foreign race alive with a relatively gentle policy!

Just like today, Datang's policy against Tubo.

Once the foreign race came, the imperial court did not need to send troops at all.

It only needs to close a few commercial passes, and the people of Tubo will kill Songtsan Gampo without hesitation!

Hungry people gather together, what crazy things can be done

In other words, banknotes are a double-edged sword.

If you play well, you can perform the dragon slaying technique.

If you can't play well, it's the night battle Bafang Tibetan knife style. When you wave it, your head will fall first.

Therefore, the promotion of banknotes is imperative.

Not in the future, but in the present!

Liu Bai does not think that the development of the Tang Dynasty can compare with that of the Ming Dynasty more than 700 years later.

Even the Ming Dynasty did not have the conditions, so in Liu Bai's lifetime, is there any hope?

The only way is to do a pilot first.

The place in the south of the Yangtze River is neither big nor small, with both ports and farmland, and the development of commerce and trade is moderate, so it is naturally the best choice.

This is why Liu Bai went to Jiangnan.

If the pilot project in the south of the Yangtze River can accommodate the space for the development of paper money, it can radiate to the Central Plains bit by bit.

Until the old precious metal currency is completely abolished!

The most important thing in the process is, of course, the supervision mechanism.

This kind of thing cannot be done by the royal family.

It is also impossible not to let people from the royal family participate.

And the heirs of these princesses, their status is neither high nor low, and their power is neither big nor small, just right!

As for those officials in the court, Liu Bai never thought about it.

People who use banknotes are, after all, ordinary people.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty stood together and yelled desperately. In the ears of the common people, it was not as loud as Li Er farting.

Looking at Li Yuanli who was sweating profusely, Liu Bai was not in a hurry.

Everyone else has expressed their attitude and wants to participate in the supervision team.

Whether Li Yuanli participated or not is not so important.

Participation is icing on the cake, and not participating is harmless.

"You can think about it more, and give me an answer tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Liu Bai stood up.

He Lan Shangtong followed him and walked out together.

Just as Liu Bai left, Li Yuanli slumped on the ground.

Feng Xiang wanted to pull him up, but he pushed him away.

Feng Rong scratched his head in wonder.

"What's wrong with you?"

Li Yuanli ignored him and muttered, not knowing what he was talking about.

The circle of relatives around you can ignore anyone's opinion.

But Li Yuanli is different.

He is a serious royal family, the younger brother of the current emperor!

From the perspective of the royal family, if he enters the supervision team, it is equivalent to completely cutting off all ties with the royal family.

Maybe it will become an enemy

Chapter 1385 Now that I'm messing around with you, I'm more and more obsessed with eating and not beating

The next day!

There are more clouds in the sky than yesterday.

It's almost summer, and after sailing, you can see farmers working in the farmland on the shore.

Liu Bai stood on the deck of the flagship, humming an unknown tune with the lukewarm breeze.

He was in a good mood.

Last night, not long after he returned to his cabin, Li Yuanli came over.

It mainly shows the attitude of intending to participate in the supervision group.

Already worried about the future.

The reform of the currency system is a major event, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shattering.

The resistance faced by the promotion of banknotes must come from various aspects.

From this perspective, except for those on this ship, everyone else has vested interests.

What worries Li Yuanli the most is the royal family.

Habits accumulated over thousands of years are not so easy to change

Liu Bai didn't comfort him either, so he kicked him out.

Now that it has been decided, where is there so much nonsense?

Benefits and risks go hand in hand.

If you choose to go to the south of the Yangtze River with yourself, there is no benefit for you, and there is no reason to suffer at all.

After dawn, Liu Bai immediately summoned all the people who participated in the supervision team.

Under the leadership of Li Yanshou, they went ashore.

On the shore, a few unknown people led them away.

Calculating the time, it will take less than half a day to arrive at the Yellow River Ferry.

A large group of boatmen are installing protective panels on various ships.

Li Yifu and the others were bored with their idle time, and after busying around for a while, they came behind Liu Bai with their shoulders crossed.

Without opening his mouth, Liu Bai knew that they came to inquire about Li Yanshou's movements.

"If you want to live a few more days, just keep your mouths shut."

Liu Bai said lightly.

"Uh"

Li Yifu was choked, and took a step back resentfully.

Laiji glared at Li Yifu in dissatisfaction, stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said: "Sir, Yanshou has no power to restrain a chicken. If something happens to danger, the student can't explain to his clansmen."

Among this group of people, he has the best relationship with Li Yanshou.

Closer than a brother!

Liu Bai turned around and said: "It seems that you are really bored, since that's the case, I'll find you some work."

He took several people to his cabin.
