.Chapter 45: The balance

If it weren't for the past few years of training, Li Wei would have been fooled.

If an ordinary person had two answers at this time, the first answer was that I had a matter of affairs and was perfunctory. Then Pei Yan would have to ask, what are you doing? Liu Rengui is not here, he is the prime minister, this is not an internal palace affairs. With Li Ji's words, the internal palace affairs are the emperor's family affairs, which is easy to evade, and the prime minister has the right to interfere. Li Wei did not answer truthfully, how can he be wrong in the future? It is not a ship, but a civilian jiyi. Even if he sells ten thousand ships to Japan, Pei Yan can only stare at him. There are also many standard weapons, such as standard horn bows and various military crossbows, collisions, catapults, fire, and even standard horizontal swords and modao. In the end, he had to discuss with the prime minister. He lied at this time, what should he do in the future? Answer truthfully, then Li Wei will wait for countless ministers to impeach.

Or another answer, don't worry, can you say this? No. Merchants are the most powerful group in this era and the most famous example. In history, Zhang Yizhi's brothers were powerful. During the banquet, Song Jing gave him a lesson. Zhang Yizhi's brothers had to admit their mistakes and accompany him. No matter what kind of coat Liang Jinzhu was wearing or a businessman, he got so many benefits. The Zheng family married a concubine and changed his surname to marry him, but they were still unwilling to accept it. For this reason, Li Wei is the emperor and the example of the world. If he makes contributions, he will occasionally invite a banquet. For example, when Li Zhi invites Zou Fengchi, or when disaster relief, it is okay to invite Liang Jinzhu to the East Palace of Chang'an, but there are too many interactions. How can a dignified prime minister not ask?

A gentle question, but there were so many swords and swords hidden.

Pei Yan really doesn’t know what Liang Jinzhu and Li Wei are busy with?

Therefore, Pei Xingjian, who is quite capable of knowing people, was very disgusted with the celebrity of his family. However, Pei Xingjian was helpless. As an official, he had the talent of officials. If he wanted to rank among all the people, Hao Chujun dismissed his power and counted it over and over again, only he was the leader, followed by Xue Yuanchao, and then he came to Liu Rengui. In terms of reputation, family members were empty, and in terms of talent and knowledge, Li Wei and Liu Rengui were not as good as those of saints. All the words were saints and moral articles, and all the works were articles of gentlemen. If you want to capture Wu Chengsi, you would just take a lot of mistakes. But if you want to find Pei Yan's faults, it is even more difficult than Shu Road.

However, Li Wei was not the one who made him speechless in the past, and immediately said: "I have some arrangements, which are related to military and economics. Pei Qing is not what you are good at, and the matter has not been settled. This matter is not a trivial matter. When something is concluded, I should negotiate with you."

Cui Zhiwen lowered his head and smiled hoarsely.

Wonderful, the answer to this sentence.

Pei Yan was also speechless and said, "Yes."

Indeed, not only him, but in the court, if there are economics and military affairs, there are really few people who can match the young Emperor. These two are the top priority, and it is not an exaggeration to do things that urgently follow the power.

He closed his mouth, but left no handle.

But it was also a small test. At this time, the Eastern Palace was upgraded and gained a reputation, paving the way for marrying the Zheng family. However, Zhu Wu also upgraded, promoted to official positions and titles, which was a real benefit. The Empress Dowager wanted to stabilize this situation in her heart, so Pei Yan was very honest during this period and had a tacit cooperation.

This morning, the conversation between Pei Yan and Li Wei was only a few words, but those who were interested still noticed it slightly. There were not many ministers who could tell the truth, but many rumors were spread.

But it worked well.

The beasts by the river heard many rumors and were worried. As an envoy sent by Japan to the largest surrounding country, this person was not without wisdom. On the contrary, he was very wise. So when he heard the Zheng family's marriage alliance, he immediately had a great courage to discuss marriage with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and did not expect to succeed, but to fight. So when he heard Li Wei return to Beijing, he looked for Li Wei and asked for help.

Liang Jinzhu was talking to him, but the riverside beast could not have been unaware of the low status of the merchants in the Tang Dynasty. How could such a big thing be decided by a merchant? Liang Jinzhu was talking to him, which was the emperor, who was afraid of causing controversy.

Negotiations were immediately concluded, and the result left Li Wei stunned.

He underestimated Japan's mineral resources, especially gold and silver resources.

In history, silver was used as a currency unit in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main reason was that they obtained a large amount of silver from Japan. In the late Ming Dynasty alone, China obtained 200 million tons of silver from Japan through trade means. This was based on tons as a unit, and it turned into two. How much would it be?

Having spent so much silver on the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of Jiangnans were also developed.

Although Japan is now backward in exploration, mining and smelting technology, it has accumulated a large amount of silver in Japan. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty is too powerful and the Japanese civilization is almost dependent on the existence of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty only used copper coins as the currency system, which led to the Japanese using copper coins and even using copper coins from the Tang Dynasty as currency. There are a lot of silver and are not worth much. In recent years, some seamen have tried every means to keep the price of silver very low. One tael of silver is only priced at two or three hundred in the country.

The beasts by the river did not say this, and Li Wei did not expect it. So this time, Li Wei agreed to buy the weapons of the Tang Dynasty in gold and silver, which also attracted the Japanese. Not only silver, Li Wei believed that Japan did not produce gold, and this idea was also wrong, and Japan also produced gold. Later, Marco Boluo called Japan the country of gold, which had many gold and silver minerals.

At this time, Japan was also undergoing a change.

During the Sui Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to Japan. The two major forces in Japan supported Buddhism. The Soviet Union supported traditional Shintoism. The Soviet Union defeated the Shintoism in the Yizhe Battle and gained the upper hand. (Is it considered information? But as written in this way, the love ministry of all civilized countries in the world would appear in the book to be a reasonable party) and then the royal family, who had a marriage relationship with the Soviet Union, was named the Tuigu NV Emperor. After the Tuigu NV Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately nominated his son Prince Shengde as the regent and was trained since childhood. This is quite similar to the Wulu clan in history. In terms of attitude towards relatives, he was slightly better than Wu Zetian. Of course, different environments and different situations have led to different mentalities.

At least Wu Zetian has not had much murderous intention towards Li Wei now, and the only thing he has fought for is the distribution of rights.

Prince Shengto ascended the throne and became Emperor Xiaode. He immediately learned the system of the Sui Dynasty and carried out reforms. This laid the cornerstone for Japan to enter the civilization era. During the reign of Emperor Tianzhi, the battle at Baijiangkou made Japan realize the gap with the Central Plains, and once again imitated the household registration management system of the Tang Dynasty and strengthened the royal power.

But a few years ago, a big battle occurred in Japan again.

Emperor Tianzhi had a younger brother named Dahairen, who was very talented. Dahairen also had a wife named Eda Wang, who was a nv guise. He looked very beautiful. This nv person was not only beautiful, but also had a simple mind. Later, when Japan went to Silla, she also led her army to cross the sea to fight. It turned out that he was a side room for Dahairen, and gave birth to the ten-shi Emperor NV, and asked Emperor Tianzhi to force him into the harem. However, Dahairen had always endured humiliation and carefully assisted the emperor's brother in handling government affairs. He quickly became the three giants of Japan with Emperor Tianzhi and the powerful minister Kamatsu. In order to win over, Emperor Tianzhi made Dahairen the crown prince and married his four nv sons to him again.

So later, looking at the Japanese films, many of them are **. This is the tradition of Japan since ancient times, so don’t be surprised.

But later Emperor Tianzhi refuted again. There were two reasons for this refusal. In the first year, Emperor Tianzhi began to fall like Li Longji and seek pleasure, but Dahai people were very good. After the defeat at the Battle of Baijiangkou, he immediately read out the famous Jiazi edict from the Japanese envoy in the East Palace. This caused Tianzhi's uneasiness and alertness, which was quite like Li Zhi and Li Wei. Second, for an NV person. After becoming Tianzhi's NV person, King Eda broke into a relationship with his ex-husband. When hunting, the people of Dahai couldn't help but waved their sleeves to King Eda to show their love. King Eda immediately chanted a song: Zi Qian's hunting ground, Jun Ma was wandering. Wouldn't you be surprised to see, Jun Suo Nai. So many people are watching, you have to be careful

But the people of Dahai did not control themselves, and even wrote a song and replied: Zi Qian and her sister were traveling to and around the hunting ground. Why did they miss me? (These two poems are too simple, Lao Wu can't explain it) Faced with such a red and red look, Tianzhi, who was quick to be honest, would not ignore it, and "the dragon face was furious". Soon after, Tianzhi feasted the ministers in the high hall on the shore of Lake Piwa, looking for fun, and was dissatisfied with his brother Wen Tianwu, and the sea was filled with joy.

He used a long spear to express his anger. Under the old and new hatreds, Tianzhi wanted to push the sea people out to behead him. Because Nakamoto was pleaded hard, he did not kill him. In order to maintain his status, Tianzhi changed his way, not only married his nv sons to Dahai as his wife, but also his favorite concubine. King Eda's sister married Nakamoto's wife as his main wife, and Nakamoto's wife as his wife, and Nakamoto's sister married his love to Dahai as his side wife. He temporarily maintained the peace of the Japanese court.

Soon after, Nakamoto died of illness, and the conflict between the Tianzhi brothers was finally unable to be reconciled, and he began to promote his beloved son Prince Oto to the throne. However, Prince Oto has three major disadvantages. Japan is popular in horizontal royal family to inherit traditions, first brothers and then children. Ototo's mother is a local wealthy family, but she is only a nv in the palace, which is very humble. Third, in the deep palace, Prince Oto lacks experience in governing the country. However, Tianzhi used various means to force the way for his son, first letting his son be the Minister of Taizheng, which is also the first professional title in Japan's history.

The prince's confidant, my brother Chi, was the left minister, the middle minister Jin Lian, was the right minister, Su Guoan, and the great power of Ji was the censor. When he was critically ill, Tianzhi summoned Dahai people to the palace and asked Dahai people to inherit the throne. This was a very dangerous confession. If Dahai people agreed at that time, they would be executed immediately. However, the stubborn Dahai people did not agree, but repeatedly asked Tianzhi to pass the throne to the empress dowager, and the country government entrusted to Prince Dayou. He was also afraid that his brother would be killed, so he asked his brother to let him become a monk. He escaped a disaster and still lived in seclusion.

It is difficult for Tianzhi to deal with such low-key and tragic feelings. But at this time, the naive Prince Oto was in a hurry and made an alliance with several confidants, speeding up the pace of scrambling to seize the throne. When Tianzhi was dying, Brother Su Ichi took the opportunity to bi Palace and forced Tianzhi to become the heir to the throne. Before the funeral ended, Prince Oto immediately ascended the throne and called Emperor Hiromon. Then he prepared troops and food and grass, and prepared to wipe out the people of Dahai in one fell swoop. However, Oto ignored a person around him, and the son of Dahairen, the emperor of Shishi, was the wife of Dahairen, and immediately notified his father after hearing the news.

The sea people immediately raised an army to resist, which was the famous Renshen Luàn in the history of Japan. Soon after, Otomo was defeated and hanged himself in front of Changseng Mountain. The sea people ascended the throne to the throne and became Emperor Tianwu. In this farce, two important nvxing characters ended up miserably. King Eda was old and weak, and his love was gone. Although the Shishi Emperor Nv helped his father, he ruined his husband's life and left permanent trauma in his heart. He passed away after seven years. However, the country that he finally seized was very cautious, and he was also a very capable emperor in the history of Japan. After ascending the throne, he immediately carried out a series of reforms. In the imitation of the Tang Dynasty, he created the earliest coins and capital-rich coins in the history of Japan.

Another term, that is, ambition. King Jin Famin of Silla is also a great man of his generation. After these two people are in a match, they will be very interesting.

After hearing the words of the Riverside Beast, he didn't know that the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was actually worried about the hatred and fear that more than a thousand years later, and thought it was a great opportunity and agreed immediately. But he had some doubts in his heart, namely the two proposed by the Riverside Beast Beast, how to divide the interests after the war, and how to conquer the Silla people. Should he burn and kill them all the way, or useless kindness. If it were the latter, he would not want to attack Silla.

The result undoubtedly made the beasts by the river very happy.

After receiving this agreement, Li Wei immediately came to Shangyang Palace.

It is also tragic. It is not easy for every emperor in Japan to ascend the throne, nor is it easy for him. Now that he wants to do something practical, his parents must cooperate.

Not only did he shouted to his parents, but also to several prime ministers.

At the same time, I brought some small things into Shangyang Palace.

The agreement was not mentioned, but several prime ministers knew that the Japanese envoy left Luoyang and returned to Japan, so they had about to negotiate. In some people, such as Cui Zhiwen, they agreed very much. No matter what Japan and Silla are, there are too many things in the Tang Dynasty at present, so they will get the money first.

When several prime ministers arrived, Li Wei first talked about gold and silver, saying: "There are many disadvantages in our currency, especially as taxation, and there are many làng fees every year. But without silk, the money is not enough. Many years ago, my mother and I mentioned that we wanted to make gold and silver as coins and auxiliary currency to reduce làng fees, make up for the shortcomings of the currency, and it is expensive and easy to carry. But the mother said a very wise saying, "There is very little gold and silver, which is difficult for the people to recognize. Even copper coins are minted by the people, and it is repeatedly banned, and more expensive gold and silver coins."

"What the Empress Dowager said is the most reasonable thing," Xue Yuanchao said immediately.

Li Wei did not hate Xue Yuanchao. This person was very weak. He became a rat crossing the street as soon as he was intimidated. He also had a big order in his arms and had confidence. He said calmly: "But since the beginning of the navigation industry, most of our dynasties were exporting countries, and gold and silver were used as vessels. It was also a kind of làng fee. So I had an idea. When paying wages and salaries, I used some gold and silver instead. In some remote areas, grain and silk were used as tax tribute. Sometimes, if the court did not have enough freight expenses, gold and silver could be used as replacements. At the same time, the price was settled for gold and silver. I thought that one tael of silver was priced for 1,200 cents, and one tael of gold was priced for 6,000 cents."

A short sentence contains a lot of things.

It is difficult to become a formal currency. But at least let it circulate to the maximum extent. After this, no matter how much gold and silver are, it is not enough for the court, so gold and silver will circulate. Once it is circulated, more people will know, and gradually they can evolve from the official to the people. This is a gradual process without any coercion. Circulation is also the premise of stable exchange price. The current price of gold and silver is very high. One tael of gold can be worth more than 8,000 ci, only 5,000 ci, silver can reach 2,000 ci, and one thousand ci, and one thousand ci, when it is high, the price is less than 1,000 ci. Prices in various places are different. For example, Sangang, because you get more, the price is lower, and in remote areas with heavy jewelry, the price is higher.

It also uses many jewelry and utensils. The shapes of pure gold and silver are different, including cakes, ingots, leaves, strips, and irregular shapes. If you want to exchange money, you must go to the cabinet shop. This is a professional. Try the light and heavy, tap the sound, and then bite the soft and hard. You will know how pure it is. Then, based on it, it will be converted into copper coins.

In fact, some of the most common types of jiāo are already quietly replacing gold and silver, which is convenient and inconspicuous. But it is not mainstream. For example, if you buy a piece of Hu cake, the price is only worth one cent, or even two cents per cent. How can the cake man find you with a ingot of five or six taels of gold? Some people are looking for it. What if you encounter Xibei goods? Don’t we sell it?

Wei Tongxuan said: "There are many drawbacks..."

It is not against it, but there are many disadvantages, although this method has become so gentle that it cannot be more gentle. For example, it is too expensive and it is difficult for people to circulation. There are also many interests. Opening cabinets is mostly caused by various families and powerful wealthy businessmen. Every year, through the Cào vertical exchange price, it can bring them a lot of benefits.

Li Wei Xu'er said: "I know that this is for the preparation of the main body. It is not impossible for the public to circulate. It can be easily changed if it is thin or small. And the smaller the thinner, the more gold and silver are not allowed to be counterfeited. After all, there are not many metals that are softer than it, and they have their softness and brightness. They are not circulated immediately... Besides, there are disputes of interests, but in the long run, it is a win-win situation. The more circulation is, the more exchanges are. After the standards are set, they have less profits, but if the quantity is more, the profits can increase. Therefore, look at things

Things cannot only look at the disadvantages, but they must see their positive side. Qin used strict laws to win the world. However, they lost the world with strict laws. The Han Dynasty thus relaxed laws and regulations and won the world again. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty lost the world. Therefore, since the Three Kingdoms, the two great wise ministers Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng used them very strongly, precisely because the times are different from the times. For example, people wear clothes, they wear thick clothes in winter and thin clothes in summer, and they must keep pace with the times. This is the long-term way for the country. But every change will have disputes of interests. It depends on the gains and losses in it, such as this..."
