On the way out of Hangzhou, Li Er felt so happy. Looking at Hangzhou that was gradually being left behind, it felt like looking at... something he had lost, such as a tree that had been with him for more than ten years.
I lost my riding whip...——
Hey! Found it again!
Li Er is in such a mood now, and the profits from sea trade also have a powerful effect in depositing gold and silver... To Li Er, this is something that has the same meaning as a horse whip... As the saying goes, using dreams as horses
, why is it a whip? It must be...
Real money and silver, no deception...
But ideally, it would be better this way, but Li Er didn't dare to expect too much at once.
After all, the temple is too perfect in this matter. If the actual results are not satisfactory, it will be difficult to cope with it.
And soon, Li Er also thought of what Li Sheng said about the pirate problem.
Although Li Sheng was opposed to fighting directly, using the spice trade to achieve a similar effect to the Sui Coin Treaty was the most profitable operation for the Tang Dynasty.
But...if we don't fight, these pirates will objectively cause the trend of sea trade to cool down. And...if the spice route can really work, let's just say it is expected, then Datang's
Gold and silver income can be restored from now on.
But the problem is...since the tension in gold and silver can recover and return to the track of high inflow, then...then doesn't the comprehensive settlement loss caused by the pirates to Datang be further amplified?
not to mention……
Li Er is quite familiar with the barbarian thing. In his opinion, there is no difference between the Xianbei people in the north of the Great Wall and the various bandit mountains in the south. They all have one thing in common: they are only three days old.
The roof of the house is covered with a building.
And even if you don't really say that your troops are not enough, but you are just too busy for a while, he will not think at all, ah... this tiger is just asleep, I can't go up and touch it, mess around.
My life will be gone in a matter of minutes.
You must eat it and wipe it clean. Even the tiger hairs will be stewed into a paste for you.
Calculating based on this...
The damage to Datang's interests caused by pirates will need to be increased again on the basis of the amplified benefits from sea trade surplus.
For two superpositions, the algorithm is multiplication.
Look at it this way...
Although Datang's future should still be bright, Li Er could not help but feel unhappy.
Wouldn't it be good if we directly used the Imperial Army to directly take down these pirates?
The Tang Dynasty lost a lot of gold and silver in vain... In the carriage on the way out of Hangzhou, Li Er's face was clearly not very good-looking.
But of course Li Er's expression was also noticed by several people around him. Although Fang Xuanling was responsible for asking Li Sheng for advice, Wei Zheng was the team's big thinker in Wagang Village, and Wei Zheng was the brains behind the team.
Du Ruhui planned the Xuanwumen Incident, and his vision and intelligence... no matter how you say it, it is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At this moment, seeing Li Er's face originally smiling, but suddenly turned gloomy, everyone was surprised for less than a second, and they knew what Li Er was upset about.
Wei Zheng thought for a moment, he was always honest and forthright in admonishing, and it was impossible for him not to speak up at this time.
"His Majesty……"
Wei Zheng still spoke, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the pirates?"
Li Er heard this and nodded silently.
This trip is a bit funny. I have already obtained the spices, Li Shengdu pointed this way, and now... I want to get more benefits...
Wei Zheng continued, "Your Majesty... it is human nature to take action to seek full merit... But if we really fight with overseas pirates, I'm afraid they will simply retreat, and the law prohibits maritime trade in the country..."
When Wei Zheng said this, Li Er couldn't help but be startled.
...and then sighed softly and nodded.
This is obviously true, and it is indeed true that it is directly shut down by others... From this point of view, it is indeed the first step to defraud the nobles of these small barbarian countries out of their gold and silver, which is the most important thing.
But at this moment, Fang Xuanling...
Fang Xuanling, an old guy, was the last one to get on the carriage. He drank a lot today with a smile on his face, and before leaving, he had a very passionate chat with Li Sheng. At this moment, this old guy's face was red, but he looked a little weird, and seemed to have something to say.
To be honest, seeing that Li Er was probably done thinking, he shook his head inexplicably, and then said, "Uh, Your Majesty..."
"Huh? What's wrong Xuanling?"
Li Er had just put away his thoughts at this moment, and his mood was generally good. He looked at Fang Xuanling and wondered what other tricks this old guy had...
Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this bank in Hangzhou..."
!
As soon as Li Er heard this, a word "f*ck" popped into his mind.
How can this be done...
This matter hasn't been resolved yet!
If things at this bank become more troublesome in the future, wouldn't it be troublesome in the future?
But this...
What can be done?
At present, although the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty all know that these strange shops called "Qianzhuang" are very harmful, they may even become more harmful in the long run.
I don’t know when the day comes, maybe the entire Hangzhou, no, the entire Jiangdong, and even...even the entire money economy of the Tang Dynasty will be controlled by these banks. The reason is very simple...these banks now not only make the court helpless, but also develop.
Fast.
However... now is the trouble. After all, no one in the entire court has heard of what this shop called "Qianzhuang" is. No one has ever seen such a shop or such a place.
Such a dilemma existed. Although there were many capable ministers and officials in the Tang Dynasty, they were helpless!
But it’s okay to be helpless. I finally made a trip to Hangzhou and got some advice from my emperor. The result...
As soon as he walked away, he remembered that he hadn't finished everything yet and hadn't finished asking the questions yet. Li Er was instantly... stunned.
A second later, Li Er took a deep breath—
The next second, just when Li Eryun was about to stop the carriage, Fang Xuanling hurriedly waved, "Your Majesty, it's not necessary! It's not necessary, it's not necessary..."
"This..." Li Er frowned, Lao Gao, and his whole body became anxious, "Xuanling, you too, if you didn't remind me earlier, how could you not be in a hurry? If this carriage runs away again, wouldn't it..."
Having said that, Li Er also glared at Wei Zheng and Du Ruhui unhappily.
These two guys... are not pleasing to Li Er's eyes now. They are all just fishermen who are trying to make money. For such a big matter, they came to the experts specifically to seek advice, but they forgot to mention it!
I have monarchs and ministers in the Tang Dynasty who are so afraid of pills...
Li Er was furious, but not yet broken. Fang Xuanling hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, before I left, I already asked Your Highness about the Hangzhou bank..."
