Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 218 The son has a plan to benefit the country and the people
"You've been fine for a long time. You're here to coax Ning Xi, right?"

A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and Lin Heng was completely confused.

How do you explain it without revealing your secret?

But now that the secret has been exposed, no matter how you explain it, it will be in vain!

But how could Lin Heng admit his defeat so quickly? He immediately said: "Father, this is a stab wound. How can it be possible to recover so quickly?"

Li Shimin stared, thinking that you are still quibbling about how many battles he has fought and how many scars he has left on his body. The scarring on this wound is already in the later stages of the wound, which means that recovery is not far away!

"Then how do you explain your wound?"

"My son's wounds have scabbed over quickly, but the internal injuries have not healed yet. Besides, do you think someone can recover from such serious injuries in five or six days?"

What happened? It would take at least half a month for the scabs to recover, but this was less than half the time, but the fact is here.

Could it be that Lin Heng has a special constitution and scabs first and then recovers?

But when Lin Hengyue explained this, Li Shimin became less convinced.

Maybe this kid recovers so quickly?

Li Shimin stared at Lin Heng's wounds, and then said slowly: "So maybe you are out of bed now?"

Lin Heng explained shamelessly: "It will definitely take a while. Now I feel unbearable pain whenever I move my whole body, especially this wound."

"Really?"

"I dare not lie to my father!"

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and sat back down.

"But Ning Xi staying here is inconsistent with etiquette. Do you understand this?"

Lin Heng nodded, and then sighed: "I know this too. I am very happy that Ning Xi can take care of me. But in this state, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of bed for ten or eight days." , I also want to spend more time with Ning Xi so that she can worry less..."

Your reason is very unique. You actually directly said that you want to accompany my daughter?You really don’t hide it anymore, right?
You two are not married yet!
Li Shimin also had a headache. He felt that his approach to the relationship between the two had gone wrong from the beginning, and he had indeed allowed the two of them too much.

But if it weren't for Lin Heng, Ning Xi wouldn't have become so lively. This must be attributed to Lin Heng.

But there is always a feeling that one's things are being taken away, which makes people feel very aggrieved.

As a result, the father and son stared at each other for a long time.

Lin Heng felt that he could not continue like this. His father would definitely find another reason to talk about this matter, so he had to change the topic first.

"Father, during this time, I want to do something that can benefit the country and the people!"

Li Shimin said oh and said nothing.

Lin Heng said awkwardly: "What I said is true, it is indeed this."

"You say so."

"."

The key is that your look in your eyes made me a little anxious and afraid to speak.Lin Heng thought for a moment and finally said: "I am in business. During this period, various industries have achieved some success, but after that, I discovered a problem."

Li Shimin snorted, a small result?Your perfume and soap have now been sold to the Western Regions, as well as the colored glaze. The entire Tang Dynasty is snatching it like crazy. During this time, you are making money so much that you are jealous.

This is called small results?Believe it or not, I will incorporate your property into the royal family and provide direct internal funds?
"My son discovered that he had too much money to save anymore."

Okay, okay, that’s right?
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and said, "If you think it's too much, just give it to me. Anyway, the money will get moldy if you keep it. I have some use for it!"

Lin Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed dryly and said: "That's not what I meant, it's about the coin."

"In our Tang Dynasty, there was only one currency, which is today's Kaiyuan Tongbao."

"This item was made under the supervision of the royal family. It is extremely difficult to imitate, and it has indeed achieved certain results. However, the copper coins are relatively large after all. Maybe a small quantity is nothing, but if it reaches more than one, it will weigh six or seven kilograms."

"Gold is sometimes used in large-scale transactions, but the reserves of gold are relatively small after all, and it is extremely rare. Most of them still use copper coins. Transactions of hundreds of thousands of dollars often require several horse-drawn carriages just to pull the money. "

Li Shimin frowned, roughly understanding Lin Heng's thoughts.

"I have discussed this matter with the officials before."

"After all, copper coins are difficult to use for transactions, but there is no way around it. Gold reserves are small and it is difficult to use them in the market. Moreover, for ordinary people, the value of gold is too high and they cannot be used."

"I also considered trialling silver for a period of time, but it was extremely difficult to purify. The purity of the purified silver was not high, and the private sector could even imitate it. At that time, an official from Lingnan saw the opportunity and imitated silver ingots on a large scale. As a result, the entire Tang Dynasty's internal currency system almost collapsed, so I urgently stopped this matter."

"Even if I prohibit it, there will still be people who imitate it, and the difference is not big. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Lin Heng nodded. Due to process problems, the purity of silver is not high, and Datang cannot control all the silver mines. After all, one might pop up somewhere. Once a large amount of silver that can replace copper coins flows into the market, then Copper coins will depreciate.

The price of copper coins today is actually quite high. Forty or fifty cents is equivalent to one stone of rice, which is 120 kilograms!
The more currencies, the better. If you don’t believe it, you can refer to Zimbabwe in later generations. The currency can be compared with the share of the money, mainly because of its purchasing power.

Lin Heng said with a smile at this moment: "What if I have a way to purify silver to a certain level, making it difficult for others to imitate it, and using a special method to identify the authenticity?"

Li Shimin didn't believe in the method of purifying silver. Although Li Shimin didn't care about it for so many years, he still let people try it, and there was no progress.

There are too many impurities and limited purification, so it cannot be used as currency.

Lin Heng then said: "Purifying silver, making silver coins using royal control methods, limiting the size of the coins, and updating the new format every year can actually change this problem to a great extent."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Even so, copper coins will be difficult to replace within a certain period of time. What's the use of doing something so laborious and thankless?"

Lin Heng also smiled and said: "In the style of a local bank, the royal family imitated its establishment, and used the royal credit as a guarantee. It issued silver coins locally, calculated the existing copper coin reserves of the Tang Dynasty, and recovered some of them and replaced them with silver coins. It will not affect the existing economy. , and then gradually introduce silver coins into the market based on economic growth. Within half a year, silver coins will flow into the market and become popular."

"The Royal Bank can provide silver coins to replace copper coins, store them, and withdraw and deposit them in different places according to their identities. In this way, the royal family can better grasp the currency within the Tang Dynasty and make judgments based on different economic situations."

"Most people keep their coins at home, but if there is a royal bank, the liquidity of the entire royal family will increase. In this way, it can be mobilized on a larger scale to meet some internal construction and even external needs..."

The more Li Shimin listened, the more bizarre he felt. If this were the case, wouldn't it mean that fighting would make money?This is borrowing people's money to fight wars, and when Datang has money, it can actually be paid back.

And not only the Tang Dynasty, whether it is building roads or increasing troops, they can use the saved money. As long as the royal bank does not collapse, that is, the royal credit does not collapse, this is actually a long-term benefit with multiple returns.

How can people be willing to save money? It’s easy to say. Can’t I just give you interest?

Gradually, the more Li Shimin listened, the more excited he became, and the more he listened, the more serious he became.
