A small group of Winged Knights left quickly under the night sky. They needed to report to Li Yi about the nine people in advance.
The man's surname was Ban. After the news was sent back, it was up to Li Yi to decide how to deal with it.
The Winged Knights went to the Qinling Mountains to catch rabbits. After it snowed, the animals would leave traces and it was easy to find their nests.
Not only did the Ban family meet the Winged Knights, but other people who went up the mountain to catch pheasants were also saved by the Winged Knights.
Pheasants were easy to catch, but there were not only pheasants but also wild animals on the mountain.
After the family of nine finished eating, they took a hot bath and wiped themselves with a towel. They fell asleep with a relaxed expression.
…
The sun jumped out from the eastern horizon and the people began to prepare for the small New Year. Tomorrow, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Some people started counting from tonight. After midnight, it would be the small New Year.
Li Yi was resting and conserving his energy. He was preparing to practice on death row prisoners and pass the pipes. He needed assistants to cooperate.
Li Longji did not go to the morning court. There was nothing to do.
In the past, there were two chancellors, but now there were four.
At the end of the year, the chancellors were busy. They were mainly busy with money. They had no money.
How were they going to spend the New Year? How much did they have to spend? After New Year's Eve, it would be spring. How could they spend money on a year's work?
Now, they had to spend as much money as they could. Even if they did not spend it, Li Yi would help.
Bi Goo and the other three had breakfast in the Li Family Zhuangzi. They were not in a hurry to go to the political affairs hall.
"Next year's budget has been prepared. Now, we have to wait for next year's summer harvest to increase the grain production. One million eight hundred thousand is not a lot. We don't need it. Arrange it."
Bi Goo swallowed the scallion pancake in his mouth and talked about the imperial court's allocation of money.
Now, he automatically omitted the unit "Li" when he spoke. If there was no "Li" behind each number, it meant "Li".
Song Jing and the other two nodded in agreement. Yes, one million Li was a small amount of money.
They had forgotten that a few years ago, the imperial court's annual rent was less than eight million Li.
This year, the imperial court's income was more than thirty million Li, not including rent.
The people learned from the newspapers how to accumulate fertilizer, how to use advanced tools, and how to save time to start a side business.
Even if he didn't carry out his side business, as long as he rested for a long time, the damage to his body would be minimal and he could recover.
Generally, the side business was raising poultry and artificial hatching. Chickens, ducks, and geese were not allowed to build nests, lay more eggs, and did not lose weight.
If it weren't for Li Yi's help, they wouldn't have spent 15 million.
"There will be more money next year." Su Yi was worried. He felt that he could not control that much money, even if he did not directly manage it.
"Don't be afraid. Ask Li Yi." Zhang Jiuling was optimistic. He believed that Li Yi would have a way to spend the money.
"How about printing banknotes next year?" Song Jing was thinking about seizing power. The Li Family Zhuangzi printed more and more banknotes.
As the Chancellor, he had no control over the issue of currency.
"Printing money has costs. Xiao Yi mentioned that the more abundant the products of the Tang dynasty are, the greater the demand for small amounts of money.
Every time a banknote is printed, a part of the money will be lost.
What is it written in the book? The relationship between the cost of money and the circulation of money includes the wear and tear of money and the turnover of money in circulation. "
The book Bi Goo mentioned was written by Li Yi. There was a lot of knowledge in it.
"Let's eat. We can rest for a few days during the New Year. Sigh!" Song Jing had a headache.
It was difficult to learn the various books given by Li Yi, even if the language was simple and straightforward.
After the four of them finished eating and went to work, Li Longji and Li Yi got up.
They drank a big cup of warm water, took a bath, and ate.
"Brother Yi, how many banknotes do we have left in Zhuangzi?" Li Longji found that the banknotes were getting more and more useful. He was afraid that Zhuangzi did not have enough.
"The circulation of money in the capital government is increasing. This means that the economic status of Chang 'an is improving. The Eastern Capital of Henan Province is also improving."
Li Yi did not mention how many banknotes there were. He said that the banknotes were flowing back.
Li Family Zhuangzi was selling luxury goods in large quantities. Every sale was a high percentage of profit.
This profit was the banknotes. The faster the banknotes were flowing back, the higher the net profit, and the banknotes would increase accordingly.
"His Majesty has too much gold and silver in his hands. Can he give Zhuangzi banknotes to you first, and Zhuangzi will provide the banknotes?
Then distribute them to other places and increase the usage of banknotes.
Banknotes are convenient to carry around. To a certain extent, it can reduce the loss of the banknotes and reduce the loss of the banknotes. "
Li Longji was reading the book that Li Yi copied. He was very serious.
After listening to Li Yi, he knew what he meant. If the banknotes were circulated in one place, the profits would increase, but it was not good for the banknotes.
He wanted to exchange his gold and silver for Li Family Zhuangzi's banknotes, and then directly put them in the provincial government and into the county.
"Okay!" Li Yi thought for a while and agreed to use Li Longji's money to print money.
"Deduct the cost of producing the banknotes. Let His Majesty pay for it." Li Longji was afraid that he would cheat Li Yi.
If he exchanged 1 million taels of gold for a banknote worth 1 million taels of banknotes, Li Yi would bear the cost.
After the banknotes were circulated, the Imperial Court would benefit from the taxes collected and the money saved by the people.
Li Yi waved his hand: "No need. That … … Just issue commemorative coins. I can make money from it."
"What kind of commemorative coins?" Li Longji never doubted Li Yi when he said that he could make money.
"I will redesign the banknotes and increase the difficulty of the banknotes. Banknotes are printed more beautifully and can be circulated. They can also be collected … … "
Li Yi talked to Li Longji about the commemorative coins. The issuance of commemorative coins was usually equal to the amount of banknotes.
Li Yi wanted to first issue a small number of commemorative coins of equal value, and then secretly increase the price.
If it was him at that time, it would definitely be illegal and constitutional.
The People's Bank could not be played like this. Li Yi did not have anyone to supervise him, so he wanted to secretly make some money and earn back the cost.
At that time, he had a lot of money to buy coins at a high price. Coins of a few cents and a few dimes were very expensive.
Then everyone realized why there was so little money these years.
One reason was that the number of coins issued at that time was very small. Another reason was that the banknotes issued by the country were foreign currencies.
They were only traded to foreigners with certain identities. Only foreigners could exchange for those kinds of currencies.
They were souvenirs and people in the country could not buy them at that time.
That was why people realized that there were no coins.
Li Longji put down his chopsticks and smiled. He pointed at Li Yi with his finger: "Brother Yi, will there be a problem if you do this?"
"As long as it is exquisite enough, it is basically a non-currency circulation. It is a collection! The price will get higher and higher.
Third Brother, look, I have specially printed a set of coins and stored them. They will be valuable in the future.
The creation of currency itself is a commodity. It is used for exchange. After that, it is an intermediary.
The issuance of commemorative coins in itself makes currency return to the category of commodities. "
Li Yi admitted that it was not very good to do this. However, under the premise of high-quality products, everything returned to the essence.
When seashells were used as currency, there were good and bad seashells.
When salt was used as currency, there were many levels of the quality of salt.
Even a credit currency could not be treated in isolation, let alone a collateral currency.
