Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Since ancient times, private coinage has been a serious crime. Although it is impossible to prohibit private coinage among the people, once caught, they will be severely punished.

And this was just a privately minted coin, which belonged to the category of copper coins. To say that Li Shen privately created a coin means that he created a completely new coin by himself.

Isn't this saying that Li Shen wants to change the dynasty?

"Your Highness Prince Ji, your flying money has no name or signature, anyone can redeem it.

This is no different than new coins.

I assert that merchants will use flying money to trade in the future, which is convenient and fast.

By then, copper coins may no longer be used.

Your Majesty's Kaiyuan Tongbao may soon become your flying money."

Changsun Wuji said to Li Shen.

"Duke Zhao, this is a bit alarmist, isn't it? Even if there is something wrong with merchants using flying money to trade, you also said it is convenient and fast.

Feiqian can only be used in Qinghai Road and Chang'an, and the amount of Feiqian issued is limited. How could it be so rampant?

What's more, the denominations of flying money are huge and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Kaiyuan Tongbao will be passed down from generation to generation."

Li Shen immediately retorted that this old man was too mean to add insult to injury.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, even if it can be used in Qinghai Road and Chang’an, it will be circulated.

Most of the business transactions still took place in Chang'an, and merchants from all over the country came to Chang'an to buy and sell goods.

Your Highness Prince Ji, don't forget that your flying money not only has no signature, but also no place to withdraw the money."

Chang Sun Wuji continued with a smile:

"What, there is no place to withdraw money?" Li Shen was also confused. He quickly went to the counter and took a flying ticket and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Li Shen felt so depressed. Who the hell printed this? There was actually no place to withdraw money.

Do you really want to follow your dream and make the world a better place?

But Li Shen is not ready for this yet, or rather, Prince Ji’s Mansion is not ready for this yet.

"Liu Su!!" Li Shen yelled.

"Yes, yes, I'm here." Liu Su was jumping outside and waving his hands. With Li Shimin's permission, Liu Su ran in.

"What do you want, my Lord?"

"I want to ask you, who printed this flying money?" Li Shen asked Liu Su angrily.

Liu Su was so frightened when he heard Li Shen's scolding that he trembled and said tremblingly:

"Your Highness, this... this... this bill for flying money was sent from Chang'an City, and I don't know who printed it.

I didn’t find the problem in time, so please let your Majesty have a hangover.”

Liu Su was terrified. He had just heard everyone's conversation. This was a serious crime of treason.

Li Shen frowned, then shouted again:

"Wang Xuance, Wang Xuance."

Wang Xuance came in and bowed calmly:

"See Your Majesty."

"Xuan Ce, who printed this flying money?"

Li Shen asked. In Prince Ji's Mansion, there were only two people besides him who could enter the printing factory.

One is Wang Xuance and the other is Wang Hongfu.

“Your Highness, all matters concerning Feiqian are handled by Shopkeeper Wang, so the printing of Feiqian is also done by Shopkeeper Wang.

The printing factory had reported it before, but I was negligent at the time and did not think so much about it, so I approved it for review.

I have been guilty of dereliction of duty, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Wang Xuance admitted his mistake with a good attitude. He did not have the panic expression like Liu Su, but seemed very calm.

Li Shen scolded with a serious face:

“Humph, how can you be so casual about such an important matter? As the chief historian of Prince Ji’s Palace, you have the power to supervise the printing factory.

You approved the printing of such a big thing without careful review. I will certainly not forgive you.

He was demoted to the position of recorder and military assistant and fined one year as a warning to others.

If the performance is not good within a year, he will be dismissed from his official position in the Prince Ji's Palace and demoted to a commoner.

Don’t worry about the printing factory anymore. I will naturally arrange for someone else to take over.”

Everyone looked at Li Shen, then at Wang Xuance. Prince Ji's punishment was neither severe nor light.

Prince Ji wanted Wang Xuance to take responsibility for this matter in order to absolve himself of the blame.

What a cruel Prince Ji.

If this is not handled properly and His Majesty gets angry, Wang Xuance may very likely be exiled.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were both watching Wang Xuance as if they were watching a play. This Chief Clerk of Prince Ji's Mansion who was loyal to Prince Ji was unexpectedly used by Li Shen to take the blame at the critical moment.

It is conceivable how much resentment Wang Xuance had in his heart, and there was also grudge between the two of them.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for the punishment."

Wang Xuance still had no expression and thanked Li Shen for the punishment.

"Aye, do you think this matter can be handled well?

I really wasn't aware of this matter. If I had known, I wouldn't have let them print it like this. Isn't this a big mistake?

This is all because the people below are not doing their job well and there is no good supervision.

Of course, there is also some responsibility for poor supervision.”

Li Shen did not look at Wang Xuance, but looked at Li Shimin and whispered in a low voice, with a flattering look on his face.

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen, then at Wang Xuance, and smiled meaningfully.

"You handled it very well. Although you are naughty, as a prince, you can't just ignore everything.

Now that you have established your own government, you must learn how to control your subordinates.

Don't just eat, drink and have fun all day without learning anything.

After you return, you must conduct a thorough investigation in the palace to find out whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Do you remember it? "

Li Shen nodded quickly after hearing this:

"Yes, Aye, when I return, I will reflect on myself, investigate this matter thoroughly, and severely punish all those involved.

I will never let Aye down."

"Well, that's good. Okay, let's stop here for today. I'm tired too.

Let's go to the military camp tomorrow."

After hearing this, Wang De chanted loudly, and everyone followed Li Shimin back home.

Li Shen walked back to his own small courtyard, followed by Liu Su, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui.

The weather had started to get hot, so Li Shen took off his shoes and stepped on the cool floor, which was quite comfortable.

After he sat down, a maid brought a wet towel and squatted down to wipe Li Shen's feet.

Li Shen sat there and took the boiled water handed to him by Chunxiang and took a sip.

"Liu Su, you will be in charge of this place from now on. If you have any questions, you can find Li Zhiming.

I will say hello to him before I leave.

If anyone wants to get involved in the exchange, please inform me immediately and use all means to stop them and don't let them take over.

I will deal with it immediately. No matter what method you use, as long as you don't kill anyone, I will ensure that you are safe.

It will take half a month to go back and forth even if we gallop at full speed. As long as you can hold on for half a month, it will be fine."

Li Shen took the lead in giving instructions to Liu Su. After this incident, Li Shen had a premonition that Qinghai Road would not be so peaceful.

After talking with Li Shimin, he felt that attacking Tubo might not be so easy.

However, there will certainly be retaliatory attacks, but occupying aggression is unlikely to happen.

"Your Highness, are you afraid that someone will have their eyes on the important cities in Qinghai?" Wang Xuance asked.
