Li Er said these words slowly, making Wei Zheng and others feel extremely heavy.
If these bank store owners had evil intentions, wouldn't all the gold and silver fly away in minutes and go back to overseas places? Then wouldn't the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty be like a chicken flying over an egg...
By the way, so much gold and silver disappeared, what would those maritime merchants think?
When the time comes, the person who opened the bank will definitely disappear in a matter of minutes and disappear. Then these maritime merchants, with their mentality exploded... shouldn't they directly come to trouble the court? I'm afraid that this prosperous and wealthy city will be in trouble by then.
The city of Hangzhou was turned into a lawless place in minutes.
That is to say...
Not only are these banks very likely to undermine the Tang Dynasty's great ambitions, but they will also cause the hard-earned savings of the maritime merchants to disappear overnight, and the prosperity and wealth of Hangzhou City will be paralyzed...
In other words, this strange shop called "Qianzhuang" in the Tang Dynasty has become something... something like a grenade that pulls a fire rope. If one is not careful...
Not only would something big happen to Hangzhou immediately, but the entire Tang Dynasty would also be severely damaged!
The situation has changed again...and the changes are becoming more and more serious.
The situation of "things getting serious" is not unfamiliar to Li Er and the others. A long time ago... when the Tang Dynasty was conquering the world, such a dangerous situation had appeared countless times. However, now... it is not so serious.
What is more serious is that the matter itself has become serious, rather than the fact that "the situation has changed" itself is more serious.
The situation has changed...
So, the two magic weapons of "banknotes" and "credit money" that Li Sheng mentioned when he was in Hangzhou... No matter what they are, do they still have any effect now? You must know that this doctor sees a doctor and administers medicine when he sees a disease.
It is targeted, as the saying goes, "There is a way to do good things."
When a person is injured and has a wound, he is prescribed golden sore medicine, but if the person follows the wound and develops typhoid fever, then this...
Can this wound still be useful?
I'm afraid it's hard to say...
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others are not without psychological qualities. They are also the pillars of Datang after all. But...thinking about these banks and the risks behind them, things are really scary. After all, Datang has finally developed.
After operating for so long, if it suddenly explodes...
For such a heavy matter, the heaviness itself means that it is impossible to suddenly come up with a solution.
Just like Lu Su's famous judgment, the imperial court cannot be revived, nor can unification be sudden...
Everyone was silent for a while, the atmosphere was so heavy and suffocating...
But then, Li Er sighed and picked up the second memorial.
Li Eryi read this memorial...
Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others on the side, although their faces were anxious and serious, looked at each other and felt a little more relaxed. Looking at other memorials to divert their attention, although this may seem a bit overwhelming at first glance, but
It's actually a good thing to think about it carefully and calm down first. No matter what, you must slowly think of solutions to heavy things, otherwise... people will subconsciously act randomly.
But this time... everyone observed Li Er, but found that after a while, Li Er's expression...
It was originally gloomy, but now when I looked at the memorial, it became even more gloomy.
He was so gloomy that his whole face sank... and a black air was rising.
This made Wei Zheng and others nervous.
Holy shit, is this another bad thing?
After thinking about it... I still felt extremely worried. Everyone couldn't help but look at Li Er. Wei Zheng asked nervously, "Your Majesty, this memorial is..."
"hehe."
This time, Li Er no longer had a dark and solemn face, but...
He sneered directly and handed the memorial to everyone.
This time Wei Zheng and others took a look...
Li Er's face was dark just now.
But at this moment, Li Er's face turned green and white...
Obviously, there is no doubt that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty is in a state of extreme anger at this moment!
Faced with this situation, even though Wei Zheng and others were veterans of the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't help but feel extremely nervous...
But although it was rare for Li Er to be so angry, they could see why.
This memorial... is the news that the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty have been robbed again, and...
This time not only the merchant ships of the Tang Dynasty were robbed, but this time... the so-called "sea pirates" also sent letters to the Tang Dynasty.
——Among the maritime merchants who were plundered this time, there were also personnel sent by the Tang Dynasty to overseas bases-one was sent to the Tianzhu subcontinent through the West Lake Industrial Zone system, and the other was sent to Africa through the Forbidden Army system.
What these two groups have in common is that they are all young scholars from various academies in the Tang Dynasty.
Many of these scholars were directly dispatched by the Forbidden Army and the West Lake Industrial Zone, but many of them took the initiative to apply to go overseas to see... what the world outside China is like. The former, then
Needless to say, since they were specially sent out, they were naturally elites in the two major systems of the Forbidden Army and the West Lake Industrial Zone. Although the latter was not as capable and knowledgeable as the former, its concentration was truly valuable.
Why is it so valuable to be “real”?
From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty... China gradually stopped exploring the Western Regions, no longer tried to expand, and no longer aggressively entered into foreign countries.
The collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty was certainly due to the rise of treacherous officials and the emergence and exploitation of papermaking technology... But from a material level, it was also because the imperial court no longer visited the Western Regions, which gradually led to the failure of the merit system in the Western Han Dynasty -
-The Western Han Dynasty inherited the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty and insisted on providing opportunities to young people.
And when the imperial court stops making progress, the merit system will fail, and the failure of the merit system means that the Chinese community begins to change from a heroic and extroverted character to involution, and involution...
If it is involuted for a long time, it will be a disaster if it does not become unstable.
This is also the reason why China in later generations, no, almost all countries in the entire world, attach so much importance to "economic growth points", because economic stagnation will inevitably lead to terrible consequences that everyone knows, and many things are not divided into ancient times.
Modern.
And today, hundreds of years after the Northern and Southern Dynasties...
Shenzhou's morale has finally recovered somewhat. If we say that the captains who are currently fighting waves and making profits overseas are all fierce men who have been trained in troubled times, they have their own foundation and have not fought to survive in troubled times.
The part of experience is often directly taught by the fathers... so one has abundant martial virtues.
So... the younger generation of scholars are willing to go overseas to fight. This rich martial virtue is the real martial virtue, which means...
On the hijacked ship, there were countless young people who would become Ban Chao and Geng Gong of the Tang Dynasty in the future.
