Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 582 A decree that all the sons in the world recruit consorts

"Fifth brother, can you make Lingnan better?" Li Mingda's small eyes suddenly lit up: "Then can you tell me, if Lingnan gets better, what good things will there be?"

Looking at Li Mingda's bright eyes, Li You smiled slightly and said, "Lingnan, there are so many good things. Lingnan is backed by Wuling Mountains and faces the South China Sea. The water network area of ​​the vast Pearl River Delta and Hanjiang Delta; therefore, the climate is mild, the sunshine time is long, and the rainfall is abundant, which is very conducive to the development of agriculture and breeding.

Moreover, the Lingnan area can be hunted, cultivated, and fished, and the products are very rich. There are various food materials such as mountain delicacies, seafood, grains, vegetables, and fruits. The most important thing is that there are gold mines in Lingnan! "

"Gold. Gold. Gold mine!" Upon hearing about the gold mine, Li Mingda, a financial fan who had become interested in money during this period, showed a very excited expression.

"That's right, it's a gold mine, there should be billions of taels!" Li You looked at Li Mingda who didn't know what to say and smiled slightly.

"A few billion taels?" Li Mingda was drooling.

This Li You really didn't lie to Li Mingda. There is a gold mine in Lingnan, which is the Gaoyao Hetai Gold Mine in Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. It is the largest gold production enterprise in Guangdong Province. It is located in Gaoyao Hetai in the central west of Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. town.At present, it is the first provincial famous trademark of my country's gold mining enterprises.The annual self-produced gold is about 1.5 tons, and the refining and purification capacity reaches 30 tons/year. At present, the external purchase and processing has reached 10 tons/year. It is the largest gold production state-owned enterprise in Guangdong Province.

Of course, if the current technology is used, even if a gold mine is found, Li You’s annual proposal is tens of thousands of taels. There is still a gap with modern times, but this tens of thousands of taels is also a terrifying number, because the current Datang can Not the gold standard, usually copper coins and silk.

Some people must be surprised that silk can also be used as money?
Datang is like this, because there is little gold. Of course, the reason for the lack of gold is not because there are not many gold mines in Datang, but the main reason is that the gold in Datang is not purified very well. There is indeed gold, but it is not enough It can be circulated, so gold is generally treasured.

Then why silk can be used as money, that is because copper coins are too heavy, and it is okay to have two strings, but if it is hundreds of strings, then you have to use a horse-drawn cart, which brings great inconvenience to the transaction.

Silk is much lighter than copper coins. In addition, during the Tang Dynasty, the silk weaving industry developed very rapidly, especially in the north, where various silk fabrics were manufactured.During the Tang Dynasty, the management of silk fabrics and various rules and regulations were relatively mature. In the "Tang Laws and Discussions", some related issues about silk fabrics were given punishment instructions. There were regulations on the size and length of silk fabrics. Failure to comply with the stipulated transactions will be punished by the law.

With the progress of the times, the silk in the Tang Dynasty was gradually monetized. Firstly, it was an indispensable thing in people's life, and secondly, the production of silk itself was valuable.

In the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was even a circulation mechanism with silk as the foundation and money as the end. This in itself shows that silk as a form of currency in circulation is highly valued. After all, silk has its own value and can be used as a currency. As a means of circulation, it can also be stored. Moreover, it was a form of currency vigorously promoted by the rulers of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, before the middle of Tang Dynasty, silk fabrics were very popular as a form of currency.

"Several billion taels..." Li Mingda looked at Li You and asked with some financial obsession: "Fifth brother, if I help you, how much of these billions of taels of gold can I get?"

"Hehe...!" Looking at Li Mingda who was hooked, Li You smiled slightly and said, "How about [-] million taels?"

"Deal. Fifth brother, just tell me what you want me to do. No matter what you ask me to do, I will do it without hesitation!" Li Mingda stood straight in front of Li You and followed a standard military salute.

"I'll let you recruit a son-in-law!" Li You looked at Li Mingda and laughed.

"Recruiting a son-in-law?" Although Li Mingda already knew that it would not be a good thing to find him, this recruiting a son-in-law was somewhat beyond Li You's expectations, because the news she received should be a marriage.

Why did the marriage become the recruitment of a son-in-law?
"Fifth brother. Isn't it a marriage?" Li Mingda looked at Li You in surprise and asked.

"Oops!" Li You laughed: "Your news is too bad, you want to get married if you want to, and my father and I are still reluctant. My father and I have thought about it. This time, the Feng family is coming aggressively because of you." , How could my father and I compromise.

I don't know where you heard the news of the marriage, but I can assure you that there will never be a marriage, and the reason I asked you to recruit a son-in-law is to delay time. Now Hubenwei's training is still a month away, as long as When Hubenwei's training is over, I will immediately bring Hubenwei into Lingnan to quell the chaos, and by the way, let the Feng family know the consequences of their daring to play tricks on the court. "

"So that's how it is!" Li You's words made Li Mingda laugh: "Does that mean that my recruitment of concubines is all fake, just to delay the Fifth Brother's Tiger Benwei for a while, that is, if I don't recruit a concubine by then? I don't need to get married if I find a satisfactory consort."

"En." Li You nodded: "Father also means the same thing. If you don't like the selection of the son-in-law this time, then we will find two people to come out, one civil and one military, and they will fight against all those who come to participate in the selection of the son-in-law." people, follow and defeat them!"

"Who is Yi Wen Yi Wu?" Li Mingda asked.

"Di Renjie, Xiao Baoer!"

Upon hearing these two names, Li Mingda chuckled: "That's right, that's right. I'm relieved to have the two of them testify, but I want to add one more."

"Add what?" Li You looked at Li Mingda worriedly.

"Hee hee.!" Li Mingda laughed: "In addition to the [-] million taels of gold, I have to go to Lingnan in person, I want to see the gold mines of my palace...!"

"Ah...!" Li You scratched his head slightly.

But Li Mingda said very resolutely: "Fifth brother, this request is the most basic, if you don't agree, then the matter of recruiting a son-in-law will be out of the question."

After being generalized by Li Mingda, Li You could only frowned and said, "I want to discuss with my father first, and I will reply to you later."

"Then you have to hurry up, if you change your mind, you will be finished!" After speaking, Li Mingda giggled, but when she finished laughing, Li You's head grew big.

Soon, Li You went to discuss with Li Shimin. Hearing Li Mingda's request, Li Shimin showed an absurd expression. This is really troublesome. Lingnan is really not a good place. Li Shimin really didn't want Li Mingda to go, but if Li Mingda was not allowed to go, the matter of recruiting a son-in-law could not proceed.

Li Shimin knew that this little fellow Li Mingda was a bad guy, she is pinching you now, if you don't agree, she will not let her go, and now Li Shimin has no better way to deal with this matter.

After much deliberation, Li Shimin had no choice but to tell Li You that he should agree to Li Mingda's request first, and then talk to Li Mingda about the reason behind this incident. Seeing what Li Shimin said, Li You could only agree.

After all, it's important to get this done first.

In this way, Li You went back and agreed to all Li Mingda's requests, followed by Li Mingda also agreed to recruit a son-in-law to the world, and soon, Li Shimin made a decree for the world, and Princess Jinyang has passed the year of the golden hairpin. So it is time to recruit The consort is now, and now Princess Jinyang has issued a selection order to the whole country and all surrounding countries that have good relations with the Tang Dynasty. As long as you are not over 16 years old, as long as you think you are versatile in civil and military affairs, then I invite you to come to Chang'an.

Princess Jinyang is waiting for you, the future husband, in Chang'an.

As soon as this decree comes out, the whole world is boiling! The big families are gearing up, because a fool also knows that marrying Li Mingda is equivalent to marrying the glory of the family for a hundred years.

The most favored daughter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, marrying her means marrying the most powerful backer, which is equivalent to marrying the support of the family. It is really too fragrant, and at the same time, many countries around the Tang Dynasty Got the message.

Princess Jinyang recruits a concubine, and there is no limit to the number of people. Oh, it's so delicious, so no matter what, you have to take the opportunity. If your person is favored by Princess Jinyang, no one will I do not know.

Soon Mohe, Huihe, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Suan, Silla, Baekje (all in the Korean peninsula), Waguo, Linyi (now Vietnam), Nibhara (now Nepal), Pyu (now Burma), Chitu (now Thailand), Chenla (now Cambodia), Sri Lanka (now Sumatra, Indonesia), Heling (now Java, Indonesia), Tianzhu (now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Lion Kingdom (now Sri Lanka), Dashi (now Arabia ), Persia (now Iran) and other countries all sent people to Chang'an.

Some people say, how can people from so many countries know about it? Hehe, this is actually a minority. During this period in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, there were many envoys, nobles, businessmen, scholars, artists, monks, and tourists from all over the world. .

There are more than 70 countries in Asia and Africa that have good relations with Tang Tong.

Where did the above go, and so many countries and aristocratic families responded, which caught the Feng family by surprise. Feng An frowned slightly after seeing the news sent by his eldest son.

Because Feng An didn't know what Li Shimin meant by this, Feng An was worried that this was a trap set by Li Shimin. However, Feng Zhichen persuaded his father on the other side. The meaning was very simple. , there can be no other meaning.

Moreover, Feng Zhichen also suggested that this time his family can temporarily stop the rebellion of the Liao people. If the Feng family can be selected for this time, there is no need to make trouble. More importantly, this time Feng Zhichen thinks that more Several children of the Feng family passed by.

In this case, Feng Zhichen's son Feng Xing also has a chance. More importantly, Feng Zhichen really doesn't have much guts to play tricks with the imperial court.
