"Did my Tang Dynasty finally perish?" Although he had already learned of this result from Liu Xu, when Li Shimin really saw in the novel that the Tang Dynasty perished and the world became the Jin Dynasty, he was still extremely painful and depressed in his heart.

"But father, why do I feel like the Great Jin is in big trouble?" Li Chengqian said, "One thousand coins can only buy four steamed buns. Even when money was worthless in the Great Tang, it was probably not this cheap!"

"Brother, didn't the stall owner make it very clear? This thousand coins are copper coins issued by the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty. But the copper content in them is very low, only less than one-tenth of the Kaiyuan Tongbao coins. His shamelessness is comparable to that of Sun Quan!" Li Tai on the side complained.

Daquan Dangqian is a kind of currency minted by Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, the copper production in Jiangdong was insufficient, which led to a serious shortage of currency. In addition, Zhuge Liang of Shu Kingdom at that time promoted the Shu brocade economy and used economic strategies to obtain a large number of copper coins from Wu Kingdom, so that Wu Kingdom fell into a state of extreme deflation and had no money available.

In addition, Sun Quan was frantically building palaces and indulging in pleasure at that time. In addition, due to years of foreign wars, the soldiers needed rewards. In order to meet all these needs, Sun Quan came up with a shocking idea. That is, since there were not enough copper coins, I would directly increase the value of a copper coin 1000 times.

So Sun Quan asked his officials to mint new copper coins, called Daquan Dangqian, which were about the same size as ordinary Wuzhu coins, but the value of this coin was equivalent to one thousand coins.

Of course, in that era of metal currency, the weight of copper coins was the same, and only a fool would really use one coin as 1000 coins, so this required the court's mandatory policy to match.

So Sun Quan issued an order that the entire Jiangdong must use Daquan Dangqian according to the value of one thousand coins. If anyone dared to violate the order, his property would be confiscated and he would be imprisoned. He used his authority to force Jiangdong to accept Daquan Dangqian.

This naturally caused a backlash from the entire Jiangdong region, and there was chaos for a while. The most outrageous thing was that Sun Quan, who didn't know if he felt good about himself, even gave the Daquan Dangqian as a reward of 1,000 coins to the meritorious soldiers when rewarding the army... The result was naturally imaginable, and all the soldiers along the Yangtze River were about to rebel!
Fortunately, Sun Quan reacted in time and immediately announced the revocation of Daquan Dangqian's administrative order, so Daquan Dangqian became another famous joke of Sun Quan.

However, it is worth mentioning that because the circulation of Daquan Dangqian is relatively rare and it was only issued in Jiangdong, in modern society, the price of a Daquan Dangqian is really thousands of yuan. Depending on the quality, it is basically between 1000 and 3000 yuan.

During the Tang Dynasty, Daquan Dangqian had always been the negative material used by Li Shimin to teach his children about monetary policy, so Li Tai just opened his mouth and talked about it directly.

"And the fake Tang in this novel!" Li Chengqian frowned and asked, "Could it be that people in the future will not even recognize our Great Tang and call us the fake Tang?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Li Longji suddenly said, "Our Great Tang is a unified dynasty. Since ancient times, there has never been a unified dynasty with the word "fake". Even the Sui Dynasty, which only had two generations, no one called them the "fake Sui". Not to mention that the Great Tang was already a hundred years old when the child was born. People would never call our Great Tang the "fake Tang". "

"Then what does Sanlang think this pseudo-Tang means?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

"It should be like the Hu-Han tribe founded by Liu Yuan. Because they admired the splendor of the Great Tang Dynasty and wanted to inherit the legal system of the Great Tang Dynasty, they named their country Tang. However, it was only a local regime after all. It did not unify the world and died after several generations, so it was called the Pseudo-Tang!" Li Longji talked eloquently and analyzed the origin of the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty to be almost accurate, which made Li Shimin look at it differently. "Yes, it seems that the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty or the Great Jin Dynasty is probably not a dynasty that can unify the world. Otherwise, the protagonist of the next book should not be this sweet boy Zhao Kuangyin, but the hero who founded the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty or the Great Jin Dynasty!" Li Shimin said with emotion.

"But this is both the Pseudo-Tang Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty. Could it be that after the Great Tang Dynasty, there will be another era like the Five Barbarians Invading China or the Southern and Northern Dynasties?" Li Shimin kept pondering some words in the plot of Chapter 1 and said with great concern.

He knew how miserable life was for the Chinese people during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. If such an era happened again after the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't the Chinese people be plunged into dire straits again?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin became more eager to see what happened next.

Just when Li Shimin was struggling with what happened in the era of the novel and how the lives of ordinary people were, Li Tai, who had also read Chapter 1 several times and Liu Xu's other novels many times, suddenly said, "Father, why do I feel that the taste of this first chapter is a little different!"

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin asked with some confusion after hearing Li Tai's words.

"It is the focus and flavor of the first chapter of "Stealing Song" that is different from other novels. In fact, the previous novels of the lord were all in the style of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", focusing on grand historical narratives, and talking about wars and politics, etc., which has the flavor of history books."

"But the flavor of this book "Stealing Song" seems a little off...it's as if the focus of this book is somewhere else!" Li Tai scratched his head thoughtfully. As for where the focus was, he couldn't tell it for a while.

"Oh my god, after writing so many novels, this rubbish author finally tried to make some unique innovations and changes... Martial arts and sects actually appeared in the first chapter of this novel "Stealing Song Dynasty". This rubbish author is really good at giving us surprises!" Compared to Li Tai's unpredictability, the readers in the group understood it immediately. Soon, a reader pointed out in the group that the plot of this first chapter focused on martial arts, rather than the politics and military affairs of the previous novels.

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​a few people. Most readers in the group do not agree with it. They think that this is just a way of describing the protagonist as a martial arts superb and a character like Lu Bu in the future.

Didn’t you see that the book begins with the army and military camps? It’s definitely the same style as before!

"I bet that Zhao Kuangyin will soon join the army, and then compete for the throne and become the new founding emperor!" Someone said confidently in the group.
