Capital Datang

ww.x.om When South Korea was undergoing a vigorous relocation, Li Yin called Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye and others who were still in Samhan Prefecture together.Cheng Huailiang and the others, as cadets of the military academy, have to practice with Li Yin for half a year. Last time they led a large army to fight against the Baekje army. After the baptism of blood and fire, Cheng Huailiang and the others, like Li Yong, had a bit more real killing spirit.

"Brothers, everyone's internship period is coming to an end soon, and then everyone will return to Chang'an. I don't know when we will see each other again." Li Yin picked up his wine glass and said to the people sitting in the hall, his expression was a little depressed, But in the end he said with high spirits, "Come on! I would like to offer a toast to everyone. I wish you all brothers to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future and leave a name in history!"

The parting was imminent, Cheng Huailiang and the others were also a little depressed, they raised their wine glasses and drank it down.They came here last winter, and now it will be June soon, and the half-year internship period will be over, so it is time for them to go back. My own deputies, these deputies were all trained by Li Yin asking them to help. Although the quality cannot be compared with military academy cadets, it is still possible to serve as a low-level general.

It's just that Li Yin didn't notice that when he finished speaking, Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, who were sitting at the back, looked at each other, and a bit of determination flashed in their eyes, but they didn't show it on the spot.The two of them are different from Cheng Huailiang and the others. Although they made great contributions in surprise attacking Sibi last time, and they also have the highest positions among all the students, but today is Li Yin's private banquet, and all friends like Cheng Huailiang are invited. They are all very distinguished. Although Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are valued by Li Yin, they can only sit at the bottom.

Parting is sad though.However, all the people sitting there were young people. After a few glasses of wine, they quickly put the sadness of parting behind them, punched, gambled, told jokes, etc., and the atmosphere quickly became lively.Capital Datang 355

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yin saw that the timing was about right. If he drank any more, a guy like Li Yong who poured three cups would probably get drunk.So I saw him standing up suddenly, knocking on the wine glass with silver chopsticks, making a quick and crisp sound, attracting everyone's attention to himself, and then he said: "Brothers, we are leaving soon, but Little brother has prepared a special gift for everyone!"

Hearing Li Yin's words, the eyes of Cheng Huailiang and the others lit up. Among them, Li Yong, who was almost drunk, stood up staggeringly and said, "The gift Liu Lang prepared must be extraordinary. Moreover, he even used the word 'special', which must be even more special." It's fun."

Li Yong's words were immediately informed by others.They all yelled for Li Yin to bring up the gift quickly.Seeing everyone's anticipation, Li Yin also laughed, and waved for someone to bring the things up.

After a while, I saw two strong servants moving a wooden shelf, which looked like a screen, but there was a map hanging in the middle, and it was very strange to look at this map.It looks like a string of islands, with water patterns drawn on the surrounding blanks, representing sea water.Moreover, this string of islands is divided into several parts, long like a bug, and the people sitting here can't see where it is on the map?

"Liulang, this string of islands is not like Taiwan, is it an undeveloped fertile land?" Cheng Huailiang was the first to stand up and shouted.Although I can't see where it is, but Li Yin described to them that overseas is full of gold, and in the development of Taiwan, they have already tasted the sweetness. They brought in an income of nearly [-] guan, and this was just the beginning. In the future, as the scale of the plantation increases, the income will only increase.

After hearing this, Li Yin laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, although Taiwan is a good place, whether it is plantation or fishing, it can bring a lot of profits, but don't you think this way of getting money is a bit slow?"

Huh?Hearing Li Yin say so about Taiwan, everyone was a little puzzled. After looking at each other, Qin Huaiyu smiled and said: "Liu Lang, Taiwan is a cornucopia. I didn't expect you to think that it is slow to come in. Could it be that today? Are there mountains of gold and silver on the islands on the map?"

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Indeed, although there are no minerals on Taiwan Island, the land is fertile. Although it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to develop plantations, the income is not small. If this method of making money is slow, then it is estimated that the only way Finding gold and silver can be regarded as making money faster than Taiwan.

However, when Li Yin heard Qin Huaiyu's words, he intentionally showed surprise on his face, and after a while he said: "Brother Qin, have you also learned the art of astronomy from Li Chunfeng, otherwise, why would you even be below me?" Can you guess what you want to say?"

Well?Now everyone was stunned, and Qin Huaiyu was even more stunned. He didn't expect that what he said casually actually hit the mark.But then everyone came to their senses and looked at Li Yin with green eyes, and the impatient one shouted loudly: "Liulang, do these islands really have mountains of gold and silver? "

After hearing this, Li Yin laughed, purposely whetted everyone's appetites for a while, and then said: "Brothers, there is no Jinshan here, but there are quite a few gold mines, but there is indeed a Yinshan!"

Wow~, upon hearing Li Yin's words, there was an uproar in the hall, even Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui who were seated at the end were a little excited. Although they were not greedy for money, they also knew that all aspects of marching and fighting cost money. If the mines and silver mountains can be controlled by His Highness, then there will be an endless stream of military pay, and they can really show their ambitions in the hands of Li Yin.

"Liulang, where are these islands?" Cheng Huailiang yelled impatiently, and the others also looked anxious, looking like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman stripped off.

But Li Yin picked up the wine glass and took a sip in his spare time, and then gently uttered two words: "Waguo!"

"What?" Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this. They were surprised that this worm-like island chain turned out to be the country of Wa, and they were happy that the country of Wa was right next to Datang, so they didn't have to travel as far as other places.

"Liulang, are you sure that Wa really has silver mountains and gold mines?" At this moment, Li Jingye, who had been silent all this time, said.He is a rare and handsome talent, and he will study the surrounding maps whenever he goes to a place. Just now, he saw that the map that Li Yin took out looked familiar, but he didn't expect it to be the country of Wa, but as far as he knew, he didn't seem to have heard of the country of Wa. Rich in gold and silver?

Li Yin did not answer immediately after hearing this, but got up and walked to the side of the map, and then stretched out his hand to point at the southern tip of Honshu Island in the Wa Kingdom, which is the southern area of ​​Kyoto in later generations, and then said: "This is the political center of the Wa Kingdom. "After speaking, the fingers slowly moved to the west and south until they reached the seaside, which is the area of ​​Datian City in later generations. Then they stopped and said: "And here is the location of the Japanese Silver Mountain. There is a The mountains are full of silver ore, which can be easily extracted to produce silver, and the storage capacity is huge, enough for us to develop for hundreds of years."

Hearing Li Yin's explanation, everyone was a little shocked. Although the Tang Dynasty did not implement the silver standard like the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the value of silver is not very high, but it is also a precious metal. Such a large silver mountain is placed on the Right now, it would be a lie to say that she is not interested.

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Li Yin smiled secretly in his heart, and at the same time threw out a heavyweight bomb again: "I think everyone knows that the copper production in China in Datang is not high, and even the production of copper is not high. There is not enough copper coins, and in addition to the rapid development of commerce in the past two years, the amount of transactions between commerce has become larger and larger, often tens of thousands or even 355 guan, and some prices have also risen sharply. Tens of hundreds of coins, and the more expensive ones have to be counted to hundreds of coins, so it is very inconvenient to use copper coins for settlement.” Capital Datang [-]

When Li Yin said this, he paused on purpose, hoping that someone could understand what he was going to say next, but it is a pity that after all the generals sitting today, although they used to make money with Li Yin, they all It is manipulated by other people in the family behind the scenes. They just need to stand in front of the stage. They are not very proficient in business matters, so no one understands what Li Yin said. Looking at Li Yin with confused eyes, everyone is probably wondering why Li Yin suddenly talked about copper coins again?

Seeing the ignorant eyes of Cheng Huailiang and the others, Li Yin sighed secretly. If Li Jingheng and Yan Bei were here, they would definitely understand what he wanted to say. Unfortunately, both of them are in Taiwan, and they didn't see each other when they went by themselves last time. Seeing them, I heard that these two boys went to Luzon to catch slaves.

"Cough~" No one answered, so Li Yin said in embarrassment, and then said: "Since it is very inconvenient to use copper coins for settlement, there needs to be a currency with greater value, and the Datang founded by my younger brother The bank just had this plan, and prepared to mint two new coins with silver and gold respectively. The amount of gold is scarce and its value is too high, so it is generally only used for commercial settlement. As for silver currency, its value is between Between copper and gold, it is foreseeable that silver coins will replace the current copper coins and become the main currency in the market in the future!"

When Li Yin said this, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips, then looked at everyone with Xiyi eyes, he had already made it so clear, presumably they should understand what he meant, right?

What disappointed Li Yin was that he still saw blank eyes. Obviously, Cheng Huailiang and the others had been confused by Li Yin's bunch of currency theories.

"Liulang, you'd better tell the result directly, my little brother's brain is about to explode!" Li Jingye, who is the youngest and the best brained, said with a wry smile, marching and fighting or something, any of them here are stronger than Li Yin , but when it comes to business matters, they are not as good as Li Yin together.

Li Yin looked at the people who nodded repeatedly, and was speechless for a while, never expecting that he would have a day of playing the piano against the cow.Reluctantly, he sighed and said loudly: "What I mean is that as long as silver is used to make coins, the price of silver will increase as a result. We just need to conquer the silver mountain in the Wa country, and wait to get rich!"
