Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

After receiving the Tang knife, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife. When he saw the red blade inside, Li Shimin was obviously taken aback. What's more, the red blade obviously didn't look like dye, it felt almost like metal. What is even more amazing is the fine dragon pattern on the body of the knife. Li Shimin doesn't even know how Li Ke made this thing.

But to some surprise, the knife was not sharpened.

Although he didn't sharpen the blade, Li Shimin tried the feel of the blade casually, and immediately understood that it was definitely caused by fine steel, but he didn't know how the red blade was made.

"How did you do this?" Li Shimin asked a little fondly.

"It's all researched by craftsmen, but this thing is not repeatable, and its materials are too few." Li Ke shrugged and said, "So I will keep it for you, Father."

"Just one?" Li Shimin couldn't help asking as he fiddled with the Tang Dao in his hand.

"Just a handful for now." Li Ke nodded his head very simply, firmly refusing to admit it.

"Just one at the moment means that when you want to use it, there will be a second one, right?" Li Shimin glanced at Li Ke, he already knew enough about his son now, this guy, I don't know how many pitfalls there are in the words, and I will never be able to be manipulated by him in the future.

"That can't be done, that can't be done." Li Ke smiled embarrassingly, "Father, why don't we have a thrilling flight... Oh, no, mahjong."

Li Ke almost said that he was bald, what kind of flying chess, he didn't have that thing and never played it.

"What is mahjong?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"Go, dad, you'll know after playing. I'll ask the craftsman to carve some pieces for you to take home. This is a good medicine for the mother to deal with the relationship in the harem." Li Ke said with a smile.

Empress Zhangsun was a little dumbfounded: "Then, the empress mother has to thank you."

"That's impossible, I have to thank me." Li Ke said with a smile, "Changle, you guys continue to play, and I will play mahjong with Dad."

Taking Empress Changsun and Li Shimin to the study next door, the mahjong table here has not been put away yet. Li Ke explained the rules to the three of them, and it doesn’t matter whether they remember it or not, just start playing. will be.

Sure enough, after playing two rounds, the three of Li Shimin became interested and learned how to play mahjong. Soon, the sound of shuffling the cards skillfully sounded in the room.

"Father, let's talk about some things. Don't dislike my mother and my mother here. Ertong." Li Ke said while playing cards.

"What do I dislike? It's your mother and the queen who don't participate in government affairs. What do you want to talk about?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.

"Do you think Datang's current monetary system is healthy?" Li Ke asked.

"Currency? You have already asked this question. From your point of view, this must be unhealthy. But I also know the crux of the problem, but Datang does not have so many copper coins now." Li Shimin said helplessly.

"Father, how many copper coins do you think there are in this world?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"There should be a lot of them. Since ancient times, all dynasties have been casting copper coins. Although the sizes and scales of copper coins are different, the copper coins of the Han Dynasty are naturally the most. Although each dynasty also melted some copper coins to carry out Casting, but according to the information collected by the Tang Dynasty, the coins of the previous dynasties smelted in each dynasty are only a small part, and the dynasties and dynasties have been looking for copper ore to smelt and then use it to cast coins."

"However, most of the coins were either buried in the hands of powerful families, or buried in the ground after the death of some emperors, princes and nobles, and people from powerful families. After all, this part is a minority. Nine cylinders, but large Some of them must still be in the hands of powerful families, I think there are at least hundreds of millions." Li Shimin gave an approximate figure.

"Based on the current population of the Tang Dynasty, copper coins are definitely not enough, but although I don't know the exact number in my hand now, there should be close to 1200 million copper coins. The circulation of the entire Tang Dynasty should be almost complete." Li Ke thought for a while.

The current population of Datang is not large, and the hidden population is over 3000 million. If 2000 million copper coins can be obtained, it must be enough to circulate all over the world, but how to send these money to the hands of the people is also a problem. Then there is the gradual recovery of the currency status of silk, cloth, silk, and silk floss.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke in surprise.

"Gradually recover the status of silk and silk as textile currency." Li Ke said.

"It's not that easy to do." Li Shimin frowned immediately, the main thing is that once a system is deeply involved, for the common people, they can only recognize it in many cases, "You like to stand in the perspective of the common people. , What do you think is the biggest problem with this system reform?"

"Anti-risk ability." Li Ke sighed.

"?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. He thought Li Ke would say a lot of other things, but he didn't expect a word he hadn't heard before. When he interrupted, Li Shimin typed out the [-] in his hand, " forty thousand."

"Nonsense, hahaha!" Li Ke directly laughed twice, and pushed the cards down, "Dig for 1, Dad, give me the money, [-] penny."

"Bookkeeping!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, I was thinking about your problem, and you actually played against me? !

"Hey, come, come, continue." Li Ke quickly started playing mahjong.

"You continue to talk about the topic you just said, what does the ability to resist risks mean?" Li Shimin asked while picking cards.

"It is the anti-risk ability of the people and the aristocratic family. If we want to stop the production of silk fabrics such as cloth and silk, there will inevitably be a labor pain. No matter what the reason is, the anti-risk ability of the people must be lower than that of the aristocratic family. A loss of tens of thousands of pens may not be a big deal, but a loss of a few pennies by ordinary people may lead to the collapse of a family."

"So we must first ensure that ordinary people do not have any problems. As for the powerful families, they will definitely make speculative moves. It doesn't matter if they make a little money." Li Ke said.

"Have an idea?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. Li Ke's order was very clear, obviously he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I have some clues. Let's take out their money first." Li Ke sighed, and it would not be easy for these people to dig out the money.

"How?" Li Shimin looked at Li Ke in surprise and asked.

"The city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke spat out five words.
