"Serious losses?"
"Yes"
Li Mingda shook his head: "How come we are losing money? We just used the effort used to make copper coins and silver coins to make new money. Do you think I don't know where all the copper coins produced by the imperial court every year are still in short supply?"
"The distinguished princes of the aristocratic families took back the copper coins and melted them into copper ingots privately and then sold them back. There was also the fire consumption for that. How much ill-gotten wealth a group of rats made from them every year. This group of people just lay there. It’s time to clean up the blood-sucking leeches on Datang’s body.”
(*￣︿￣)
Li Mingda had a tyrannical look on his face, and Lu Zhi lowered his head silently. Lu Zhi knew this kind of twists and turns, but ordinary emperors didn't know about it. He really didn't expect that Li Mingda would understand so well.
"Qingfeng handed over the three molds of gold, silver and copper to the workshop to make a new set according to the standards, increasing the proportion of aluminum."
"promise"
"Lu Zhi also issued a law prohibiting the use of aluminum items as food cookware because heating aluminum products can produce lead poisoning. They can only be used as decorations and non-edible utensils."
"A new law has been added. Individuals who purposely smelt and damage coins will be exiled for thousands of miles if the circumstances are serious. You can discuss the standard among yourselves."
"Any shop or family that refuses to accept the official coins of the Tang Dynasty will be deemed to be in contempt of the national law and will be given a warning for the first time, a fine of 50% of the annual tax for the second time, a jail term of one year for the third time and a fine of three times the tax, and direct confiscation for the fourth time. Half of his property will be confiscated for three years. If he does not change his behavior for the fifth time, all his properties will be confiscated for five years."
Lu Zhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Your Majesty, is this criminal law too strict?"
"The issuance of new currency must carry heavy penalties, and at the same time, a rule should be added that reporting more than five people but less than ten people will be considered a second violation, more than ten people and less than fifty people will be considered a third violation, and more than a hundred people will be considered a fifth and fourth violation."
"That's what I've decided. You just need to discuss the details. It's getting late today. Tomorrow Fang Xuanling and others will come. You guys can discuss it. Find out whose property is at the entrance of the palace. Compensate those who deserve it. "
"promise"
After Lu Zhi pushed it, the historians were very excited. They finally got the opportunity to write a special book. This new currency policy will definitely change the existing structure of the Tang Dynasty. This is a new era. witness.
Several historians, Mao, began to discuss how to polish the pen.
Murong Xue came in from the outside holding a ball of snow. Seeing the excitement of the historians, she walked over curiously: "Hey, what are you discussing? You are so excited."
When they saw it was Murong Xue, several historians shrank in fear: Murong Xue, the number one bully in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty, there was no one she dared not offend and there was no one she dared not beat. The only advantage was that Murong Xue never bullied the common people, and was never polite to those officials and playboys.
Those who are self-aware avoid Murong Xue, but there are also those who think that they are knowledgeable, good-looking and have the ability to seduce girls and need to try their skills.
If they showed up and said a few words, they would be taken away by the Jinyi guards who were squatting beside Murong Xue. They would be dragged down and beaten randomly in the prison, and then they would be exiled thousands of miles away for provoking the imperial concubine.
Are you looking for someone to intercede?
sure
Come to the Imperial Study Room, and Li Mingda will tell you personally what the majesty of an emperor means. He said that after your lover is demoted to three levels, he will be reviewed by the Imperial Guards. After passing the exam, he will be put to use. If he fails, he will be sent to jail.
Basically, hope has revived in a lifetime, and those who can reach Li Mingda's imperial study must be at least third grade or above. This is the original power of the court cleanup team in disguise.
Because the punishments imposed on Li Mingda and Li Mingda were too severe, no one came after two incidents, which made Li Mingda depressed for a long time.
"I've met my empress"
"Good luck to the queen"
"Happy Queen"
Murong Xue pulled down the snowball in her hand: "What did Ma Liudi say you are discussing?"
"His Majesty just said something about the new currency and banking policies, and I am discussing how to polish it."
"Ah, that's it. Why do you think it's such a big deal? I'll give you this snowball. I'll go and see what the boss of my family thinks."
Jumping, jumping, jumping
Murong Xue gathered next to Li Mingda and looked at Li Mingda who was happily drinking from a milk can: "Gouzi, why did you think of not releasing the bank and new goods? Didn't you plan to delay it for another two years?"
dundundundundun
Li Mingda drank all the milk in the jar in one go and wiped the milk stains on his mouth: "We won't have enough money to fight the Turks next year."
Murong Xue looked suspicious: "That shouldn't be the case. The court will send 30,000 troops. How can my 30,000 be enough?"
Li Mingda thought for a while: "Enough is enough, but the follow-up is not enough. Anyway, it will be a matter of time. Take it out as soon as you take it out. You can also save a lot of copper coins and recycle them for other uses."
Murong Xue: "Where is the bank built?"
"The entrance to the palace"
"Those are all government offices."
"More outside"
"That's the mansion of some distinguished nobles."
"Take it back and give them another four square meters."
“What to do if you don’t want to”
"Let them stay with Changsun Wuji"
"Then they are not reunited as a family?"
"What?"
Murong Xue pointed in the direction of the city gate: "In order to show his kindness to the Changsun family, your father used to make the property of the Imperial Palace Xungui's residence closest to Changsun Wuji's family."
"Is that so?" Li Mingda rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "I'll go back and talk to my mother and that's it. It doesn't matter if there are any gossips outside. Changsun Wuji has been squatting in the sky prison for so long and that's about all he can say. I’ve already said it, oh by the way, why did you spend the whole day wandering outside despite the heavy snow today?”
Listening to Li Mingda's concern about his movements, Murong Xue replied with a red face: "What is a wave? I'm doing good deeds."
Good thing?
What a good thing?
Murong Xue looked proud: "Isn't the New Year coming soon? In order to let the people have a good New Year, I raided several underground gambling houses in Chang'an City, and captured all the books, money, and owners. Those who have been deceived since then People no longer have to be forced to repay debts during the Chinese New Year."
"Do you think they can have a good year this way?"
"Yes"
Li Mingda sighed: "The minds of gamblers are the same as those of us who spend money to open boxes. They are always looking forward to the next time and always think that they can make a comeback next time. Even if you check the gambling house, some of them still don't know. It will change."
Murong Xue looked disappointed: "What should we do?"
"Simple, just let them know it hurts. There is a law in the Tang Dynasty that gamblers who gamble in underground gambling houses must be punished. I changed this rule to go to the mines for labor reform. Even though the time is not long, it is enough for them."
"Oh, by the way, how much money was confiscated?"
Murong Xue: "Seven underground gambling houses totaling 500,000 yuan"
"Fuck, so many"
~(￣0￣)/
Murong Xue nodded: "No, I was also shocked."
"I will leave you 50,000 yuan as pocket money, and I will use the rest to make military supplies. Who is the owner behind this?"
"Your bitch Li Chen"
o(￣ヘ￣o#)
"Come, let Li Guang enter the palace."
