"Do you feel that Your Majesty has been making stupid moves recently, which is not Your Majesty's style."
Ma Zhou sighed.
Benefiting from the Shadow's powerful intelligence capabilities, what is happening in the Central Plains now quickly spreads to Guangzhou.
Ma Zhou saw all kinds of measures taken by the Central Plains Imperial Court, and he couldn't believe it.
Li Shimin was once a very wise emperor, and Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji were also very powerful prime ministers.
But now, many decrees issued by the imperial court are always like a faint monarch chaotic government.
"The prohibition of the use of copper coins, the collection of copper coins in people's homes, the purchase of tickets, and the two taxes do not collect money and money in kind, no matter how you look at it, it is all going backwards."
Li Chao shook his head and said, "This is because they have never faced such a problem, and it can even be said that they have never faced such a problem for thousands of years."
In the past, it was a classical agrarian economy, and it was easy and relatively simple to manage.
Today, however, it is a liberalized commodity economy, and its volume is quite huge, especially in recent years, the paper money in circulation. ” The economy has developed to the current scale, and it has become a system of its own, and it has its own market laws, and it is no longer controlled by the imperial court as much as it wants.
If we violate the laws of the market economy and forcibly control them, then the outcome will be like this.
Now the Central Plains is actually issuing a financial crisis, the essence of which is that Li Chao has hidden a large amount of gold, silver and copper coins.
This led to the bankruptcy of the banknote credit, which in turn led to the bankruptcy of all the banknotes.
There is a serious shortage of money in the market, first deflation.
Then the imperial court began to make a wrong response, they began to confiscate copper coins, forced the market to use paper money, and printed a large number of gold coupons, but refused to accept gold coupons as tax money.
As a result, inflation began again.
Prices are rising, but the value of gold coupons is depreciating.
The money in the hands of the people almost became waste paper overnight, and the wealth of the people evaporated in large quantities.
In the era of the commodity economy, this situation can be said to be fatal.
What was a chain reaction was triggered, people had no money, they couldn't afford to buy things, merchants couldn't sell things, and they followed the workshops that produced and processed the manufacturing without subscribing, and then production was reduced or stopped, and many workers lost their jobs.
In recent years, the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty has been better, and there is a big reason, that is, as soon as the imperial court expanded externally, the territory increased greatly, and the people got dividends, divided a lot of land, and became homesteaders.
But just having a field is actually only relatively stable, and it is difficult to get rich.
It is precisely in these years that the industry and commerce have flourished, and the common people have also participated, and the young children have entered the factories to work, or work in their spare time, and everyone's life has improved, and the agricultural and sideline products of breeding have also been sold.
And now, it's completely different.
The plague spread, and the Great Depression followed.
Workers in the workshops began to return to their hometowns, and the by-products of the farmers could not be sold.
In particular, the townspeople, who used to work in workshops or run shops, have now seen their lives plummet.
After all, why is this happening?
Where did that wealth go?
In fact, the wealth is in the various underground palaces where Li Chao is buried, and those real money and a large amount of copper coins originally belonged to the merchants and people, but now they are equivalent to Li Chao's private.
Such a means of attack, such a destructive power, a few people in the imperial court can understand.
The court used various methods to make up for it and adjust it, but the result was tantamount to wrestling with an angry bull, but it was quite good, and the worse it was.
Historically, paper money began to appear in the Song Dynasty, but the banknotes of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties eventually had problems, and later depreciated seriously, and even a thousand times were not worth it consistently.
The problem is that these imperial courts really lack sufficient understanding of economic management, and they do not have the technology.
The problems with Song Yuanming's banknotes were mostly caused by insufficient issuance reserves and excessive issuance.
And now Datang is facing it, but it is equivalent to Li Chao swallowing the reserves, which leads to the loss of credit money after the lack of reserves.
This is an unsolvable status quo, unless the imperial court can come up with a large amount of cash to save the market, printing money will definitely not work, only coinage.
However, Datang's copper production is insufficient, and it is difficult to mint enough copper coins in circulation.
And money and silk are also the only way at present.
"The people are suffering."
Ma Zhou sighed.
"It's a prenatal pain."
Hankyung.
The situation was still deteriorating, and even if the emperor decided to mint a small iron coin of one as ten, he would not be able to mint a large number of iron coins for a while.
On the one hand, there is a constant depreciation of treasure money, and no one wants to use it, and on the other hand, there is a serious shortage of money, and the transaction can only be in cotton, grain, and cloth.

"Su Dingfang is reversed" "Cheng bites the gold and is also reversed" "Even Qin Qiong is reversed" "Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Zhang Tiegun, Cheng Chumo, and Wei Chi Baolin are all reversed" "There are also thirty percent of the nobles who find excuses not to enter Beijing."
Li Shimin's expression was hideous.
When Emperor Taishang was restored, a large number of nobles and nobles followed the rebellion.
I can't imagine that now, there are so many nobles making trouble.
"Your Majesty, you can send someone to pacify you."
Fang Xuanling said.
"Right now, as long as they don't attack the Central Plains, they don't go to the conquest for the time being, and they just send troops to strictly guard the border passes."
"You tell me not to crusade against rebellion," Li Shimin was furious.
"Your Majesty, step by step, as long as Lingnan can be pacified first, the rest of the lands will naturally not be a problem."
Although Cheng Yanjin and others raised the flag to express their support for the prince, they also gathered troops and horses in the territory, and they were still recruiting troops, but after all, they were only in the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, and they had not yet sent troops to march into the Central Plains.
"Grass edict, cut Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Niu Jinda, Zhang Tiegun and other titles, regain the territory, and confiscate all the property of the rebels" "Your Majesty, think twice."
Fang Xuanling persuaded.
Originally, they only expressed their support for the crown prince, but the emperor didn't want to force them to send troops "I should have thought a long time ago, these people have long been formed into a party, and they will definitely stand on Zhang Chao's side."
"Zhang Chao's family hasn't been found yet?"
Wang Chengen was sweating and said in a low voice, "We haven't found it yet, we estimate that Zhang Chao's family has not gone far at all, and is even in Hanjing City."
It's just that it's too deep to be found for a while. ” "Waste" Li Shimin scolded, the emperor's temper has become worse and worse recently.
"The gold, silver and copper worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the vaults of thousands of money houses in Li Ji Qian Zhuang have mysteriously disappeared, and their whereabouts have not been found so far.
And Zhang Chao's wives and concubines, children, dozens of big living people, disappeared under the noses of the forbidden army in the capital, and no trace has been found until now, Wang Chengen, what is the use of your six fans" "Zhang Chao has been secretly planning for many years, and even has so many soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and you don't have any news.
Wang Chengen, you have disappointed me. ” "Ten thousand deaths" Wang Chengen fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up.
"Give you ten days, if you can't find out the slightest bit of information, you can cut yourself to thank you."
"Decree of the Minister" Dongting Hunan, on the edge of the Xiangjiang River.
Tanzhou, Changsha.
Outside the city is a continuous camp, and soldiers and horses are coming one after another.
When he set out from Hanjing, Li Ji brought 30,000 forbidden troops, and the remaining 70,000 soldiers and horses were drawn from Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Huainan, and Hanzhong.
The Dongting Lake Sailor was also transferred.
The 100,000-strong army marched south, and needed a lot of grain and grass equipment, so Li Ji recruited people from various provinces to transport grain and grass equipment, and recruited merchant ships and ships, and recruited as many as 100,000 people.
One day the emperor issued a decree urging him to march.
But so far, more than 60,000 soldiers and horses have gathered, and more than 30,000 people have not arrived.
Only one-third of the people who have been recruited are still on the road, and most of the food and grass needed in the army are still on the way.
"Dashuai, we can't wait any longer."
The overseer Li Daen urged, he was an envoy sent by the emperor to watch the army, named Li Daen, and he was also an old man by the emperor's side. is different from ordinary eunuchs, this one has also fought with Li Shimin before.
But now that the emperor's will is there, Li Ji will no longer send troops, and it will be difficult for him to do it.
"The soldiers and horses are not ready, the grain and grass are not enough, and the people have not yet arrived."
Li Ji said in a deep voice.
"But the date set by Your Majesty to send troops has passed, wait any longer, Your Majesty will be furious, and you and I will not be able to bear it.
You see, it's the middle of April, and it's going to be May.
At that time, not only will the weather be hot, but the water in the Xiangjiang River may rise, and it will be difficult to march and transport grain.
Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is still cool, the Xiangjiang River is slow, and it is time to march. ” Li Ji wanted to wait a little longer.
But now I can't hold on.
"Well, let's send troops tomorrow, and the soldiers and horses who are still on the road will be used as the rear army, so that they can hurry up."
Guizhou.
One of the five ridges, Yuecheng Ridge, is in the north of Guizhou, Yuecheng Ridge is the watershed, north is Hunan Road, south is Guangxi Road.
Guizhou Linyuan City, Xiangjiang River is the origin of here, the Qin army was divided into five roads, one of which crossed the city of Lingnan to conquer Guilin.
In order to transport military supplies, a section of transportation canal called Ling Canal was dug in the south of Linyuan.
This section of the spiritual canal starts from Linyuan in the north and reaches Qincheng in the south.

In Qincheng, it is connected to the Guijiang River, which originates at the southern foot of the Yuecheng Mountains.
In Linyuan City, Zhang Zhongjian stood on the head of the city that was still being reinforced, looking at the scene of the hot fortification repair below, and was very satisfied.
Linyuan guards the Hunan and Guizhou roads, which is the barrier of Guizhou.
If you want to attack Guizhou, you must first capture Linyuan.
Although the source is not large, it is in a dangerous position.
Looking at the artillery erected at the head of the city, and at the ditches and short earthen walls outside the city, Zhang Zhongjian was confident that even if Li Ji, the god of soldiers, led an army of 100,000 to attack, he would be able to withstand it.
He has 50,000 horses, and he defends against danger, and Li Ji can't please him.
Under the city, the people of Guizhou are working hard to dig trenches and build earthen walls, and everyone is very satisfied with the current life, and they all know that the Central Plains is in dire straits.
"Let's work harder, dig deeper trenches, and build higher walls, the northern army will not be able to attack by then, and our days will be saved."
A Guizhou councillor is leading people to distribute condolences to the people, what kind of dried meat and rice balls.
While handing out things, they loudly advertised on the construction site. t1706231537:
