Li Xuan didn't force this either.

Anyway, to the Tang Dynasty, Liuqiu was just a barbaric island in a remote place, and not many people would care about it.

He was also deeply influenced by another time and space, so he would look at Liu Qiu from time to time.

However, thinking of India, Li Xuan still felt that he needed to emphasize it again.

"Your Majesty, there is also a lot of gold in Tianzhu!"

"Cianzhu?"

At this time, the attention of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others shifted to Tianzhu Kingdom.

"Tianzhu is relatively close to Linyi. When our Tang Dynasty fleet goes to Linyi again, we can take it with us to Tianzhu to check it out!"

"Everything is decided by His Majesty!"

Li Xuan said quietly.

Anyway, according to his information, in the past few years, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty fleet in Linyi Kingdom has far exceeded that of King Linyi, and it can be regarded as the overlord of Linyi Kingdom!

I believe that in a few years, if nothing unexpected happens, the Tang Dynasty will set up the Linyi Dudufu in Linyi Kingdom.

At that time, all the kings of Linyi need to do is move to Chang'an City, and Linyi will completely become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, as long as they grow some rice grains at will, Datang will exchange them for a large amount of silk, glass, beef jerky, refined salt... each of their own exquisite luxuries.

The barbarians in Linyi are living more and more comfortably now!

Afterwards, after another discussion, Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling and others and left with satisfaction!

The next day.

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, proposed at the court meeting that silver and gold should be used as money to purchase items.

The left servant of the Minister of the Tang Dynasty shot Fang Xuanling, the right servant of the Minister shot Du Ruhui, Sun Wuji, the Duke of Qi, Cheng Zhijie, the Duke of Su, and others all agreed one after another.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty still don't understand this, and His Majesty has already discussed it with several important ministers of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, every family basically has some stored gold and silver nuggets.

Therefore, people from all the aristocratic families also agreed.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan abolished the five baht coins of the former Sui Dynasty and used Kaiyuan Tongbao. Each coin weighed two baht and four taels. Ten coins weighed almost one tael, and a regular coin weighed six kilograms and four taels.

Therefore, some caravans originally needed to carry 20,000 kilograms of copper coins, but they needed to carry 128,000 kilograms of copper coins.

Just carrying copper coins would require the use of more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages.

And if you exchange 20,000 copper coins for silver, you only need 2,000 jins of silver, and at most three carriages are enough.

If you exchange it for gold, it will be even easier. Twenty thousand guan of money only requires two hundred kilograms of gold, and a small wooden box is enough!

Therefore, as the news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty that gold and silver could be used as coins to purchase goods and could be exchanged for copper coins, all the aristocratic families and merchants were overjoyed.

However, because the King of Jin liked gold, most merchants and aristocratic families preferred to trade gold more than silver.

The crisis of Datang Banks in remote cities such as Shunzhou, Liangzhou, Qingzhou, and Fuzhou was immediately relieved by more than half.

Since there was not much gold and silver in the Tang Dynasty, most caravans in Chang'an City, Bingzhou, and Luoyang, the bustling cities in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, still used gold and silver to trade.

Even when some aristocratic families trade with each other, they are no longer too lazy to go to the bank to withdraw money and then deposit money. In many cases, they have begun to take the deposit receipt and transfer the deposit receipt directly in the bank.

Half a month later.

Li Shimin took Li Xiaogong, Fang Xuanling and others to Lijiazhuang again.

"Wonderful!"

Looking at the banknotes that Li Wei took out from the small wooden box in his arms, Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he subconsciously praised them.

This time the banknotes are more exquisite than the last one, especially the golden dragon-shaped graphics around the banknotes, as well as the dragon pattern on the crown suit worn by Li Shimin in the banknotes, with dragon scales and claws, and dragons on them.

The eyes, as well as the dragon's horns, every detail is clearly visible!

Being able to engrave such a pattern on such a small piece of paper is already considered the ceiling of this era! Unless it takes a lifetime, otherwise in this kind of information lag, every craftsman still protects his own craft.

In that era, it was simply impossible to counterfeit identical banknotes!

Li Xuan couldn't guarantee whether Letai would be able to counterfeit such banknotes within five years!

Li Shimin smiled proudly, "Xuanba, how about this banknote?"

"Your Majesty, this is so ingenious that no one should be able to imitate it!"

Li Xuan said truthfully.

"That's good!"

Li Shimin was also very happy to receive Li Xuan's sincere recognition.

"When 100,000 banknotes are introduced from the Sutra Workshop, I will announce to the world that banknotes will be implemented. At the same time, banknotes will be distributed in the banks of all states in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, when the announcement is made, another edict should be issued. Anyone who dares to counterfeit banknotes will be found guilty of treason and will be punished by the nine tribes!"

Li Xuan said coldly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Li Xuan in surprise.

"Can!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Xuan bowed his hands and saluted, then thought of something and said again: "Your Majesty, I wonder if your Majesty can you exchange some for me after the first batch of banknotes are engraved?"

"Um?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Xuanba, what do you want the banknotes for?"

“Collect and play!”

Li Xuan chuckled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of banknote is the first batch of banknotes issued during your Majesty's reign. This banknote is not only exquisite, but also of great significance.

Therefore, Your Majesty, please do not underestimate the value of this banknote!"

On the side, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but shine.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen also requests Your Majesty to exchange a batch of banknotes for Wei Chen and others after they are produced!"

"You want it too?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"Your Majesty, if the first batch of Qin Banliang issued by Qin Shihuang appeared in Chang'an during the pre-Qin period, would you like to collect a few coins to play with?"

Li Xiaogong smiled lightly and asked slowly.

Changsun Wuji also asked: "Your Majesty, if a beautiful portrait of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appears in Chang'an City, do you want to put it in the palace?"

Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, if "Le Yi Lun" written by the sage Wang Xizhi appears in Chang'an City, do you want to buy it and take it back to the palace?"

"Do you think this coin is comparable to the calligraphy albums of sages?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, Qin Shihuang is the only emperor of the ages because he unified the six kingdoms, unified weights and measures, and unified coins. During your reign, you have conquered Goguryeo, Japan, Tuyuhun, Turks, and Tubo for our Tang Dynasty!

He also found sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other magical items for the people!

In terms of merit, you should far surpass Qin Shihuang!"

Changsun Wuji said directly with a solemn face.

"Qin Shihuang has Qin Banliang, and His Majesty has Tang Dynasty banknotes, and these banknotes are so exquisite that they can be passed down through the ages!"

"Moreover, this banknote also has His Majesty's portrait engraved on it, which adds a hidden layer of heritage to the banknote!"

"Your Majesty, after the first batch of banknotes are distributed, those aristocratic families will surely rush to redeem such banknotes."

"Therefore, Wei Chen and others want to beg for a few banknotes from His Majesty first, otherwise Wei Chen is worried that after the banknotes are issued, even with the power of Wei Chen and others, they will not be able to exchange for many banknotes..."

Following Changsun Wuji's words, although Li Shimin still had doubts on his face, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was obviously very useful.

Li Xuan was dumbfounded. He was indeed a famous treacherous official in history, but he could flatter him so blatantly!

"Xuanba, is it really as the auxiliary machine said?"

Li Shimin turned to ask Li Xuan again, which made Changsun Wuji, who still had a lot of unspoken opinions, stiffen his face, but he soon returned to normal.

Li Xuan was also stunned, but still nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, what the Duke of Qi said is absolutely true! It would be better if the banknotes made by your Majesty were rougher and more ordinary, and could only be used as paper money. However, the banknotes made by your Majesty not only have your Majesty's portrait of the emperor on them, but there are also dragons around them.

Surrounded by patterns, it is obviously the work of a master.

In addition, the banknotes are the first batch of banknotes issued by His Majesty. Whether it is a commemorative collection or a practical value, it is very huge. There must be many noble families who will collect it! "

After hearing this, Li Shimin looked slightly happy and asked directly.

"How many banknotes does Xuanba need?"

"Your Majesty, you'd better keep the banknote numbered one by yourself. I only want the banknote numbered two. Of course, you can give me all the banknotes numbered from two to ten!"

Li Xuan said directly.
