Facing a group of impatient old men, Li Muyun said leisurely: "If you haven't forgotten, you should remember the exchange rate issue that Li just mentioned?"

"Yes, exchange rate, but what is the exchange rate used for?" Li Xiaogong asked again.

"The exchange rate is mainly used for trading with other countries. Let's take Goguryeo as an example. Now they have the same exchange rate as our copper coins. A Goguryeo copper coins can be exchanged for a copper coins from our Tang Dynasty." Li Muyun fiddled with the tea cup in his hand: "What we have to do now is to devalue Goguryeo's copper coins, and make the previous one-to-one exchange rate become one-to-two. When we have the right opportunity, we will devalue Kaiyuan Tongbao and make the exchange rate become two-to-one."

"What? Why are their money worth more than ours?" Li Xiaogong and a group of old men from aristocratic families changed their faces, one or two of them showed displeasure.

In their opinion, Goguryeo is just a vassal state. Even if the exchange rate changes, the money of the Tang Dynasty is more valuable than that of Goguryeo. There is no reason why Goguryeo's money is more valuable than that of the Tang Dynasty.

This is a matter of face and involves a subordinate relationship. If Goguryeo's money is more valuable than the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be a big deal and a mess of the relationship?

Li Muyun waved his hand and signaled Li Xiaogong to be calm: "If you want to make money, then listen to me finish what I have to say first. If there is any problem, I will talk about it later."

Li Xiaogong opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but in the end he didn't say it, snorted and waited for Li Muyun to say it.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Li Muyun continued to say: "It is only the second step to make Goguryeo copper coins appreciate. Next, we need to let it continue to depreciate within a period of time, turning the exchange rate from two to one to three to one, or even four to one."

"Why? What's the point of changing like this?" Zheng He asked with a frown, and the rest of the people also looked at Li Muyun, waiting for him to give the answer.

Li Muyun gave Zheng He a thumbs up: "The head of the Zheng family asked well, the key to the matter is to make trouble again and again."

"Why?" someone asked.

"Give an example." Li Muyun picked up the teacup on the table and put it in front of him and shook it: "If this cup is worth ten cents in Goguryeo, if it is at a one-to-two exchange rate, we will need five cents to buy this cup in Goguryeo."

"In such a situation, we invest a lot of money to fully acquire Goguryeo's essential goods, such as real estate, land, etc."

"The Goguryeo people will hoard our money when they find it valuable. After all, our money is valuable to them, and their purchasing power is much stronger than their money."

Li Xiaogong was out of patience when he heard this and said with a dark face: "But what is the use of buying so many things, and what are the benefits for us?"

Li Muyun smiled and said, "Benefits? When it comes to benefits, it depends on everyone's ability. After our capital investment is almost the same, we need to let Kaiyuan Tongbao depreciate."

"In the past, the exchange rate of one to two, we bought Goguryeo's ten cents for five cents. If the exchange rate becomes one to one, then we can sell the things for ten cents, so that we can double the money. If the exchange rate is two to one, then we can sell the same cup for twenty cents. If the cost of five cents is removed, this turnover will be three times the profit."

Speaking of this, some of the old men understood, while others were even more confused. Li Xiaogong thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he called his own guard and took out a large handful of copper coins from him to show off. He handed his left hand to his right hand, and then handed his right hand to his left hand. After a long time of struggle, he patted Li Muyun's shoulder suddenly with a heavy blow.

"Boy, you, you're more ruthless than robbing money. Even if you rob, you may not be able to grab so much money in a short time. The Goguryeo people offended you. It's probably the thing they regret the most in their lives."

Li Muyun smiled proudly and raised an eyebrow: "I mean nothing."

The heads of other major families also figured it out at this time, and their faces were flushed with excitement. They didn't have the original aloof look, and they whispered to each other, discussing the feasibility of this plan.

You know, just now Li Muyun just said that the exchange rate changed from one to two to one profit. If it was converted to three to one, it would be five times the profit. If it was four to one..., it would be seven times.

After the discussion, everyone did not doubt the four or five times the profit Li Muyun said. Old man Lu Zushang had long forgotten what someone had threatened him before, laughed excitedly, and his little tongue in his throat trembled.

He stood up and came to Li Muyun, bowed and said, "The King of Wealth is worthy of being the King of Wealth, I admire him!"

The other old men also forgot about the previous distractions between them, and stood up and bowed and smiled: "King of Wealth Gao Zhi, I admire him!"

Li Muyun naturally couldn't sit anymore at this time, so he stood up and bowed to the old men in a circle and said, "You should not be happy for now. Although the plan is good, the key is still the execution ability. If the execution is not done properly, it is unlikely that it will be so high."

"As long as you have a plan, the most important thing we need is execution." Li Xiaogong's face turned red with excitement and shouted carelessly, as if he had made a lot of money.

Li Muyun looked at the guy who was almost crazy and shook his head speechlessly, and had to remind them: "Everyone, you must keep this matter strictly confidential after you go back. Don't be known by the Goguryeo people in advance, otherwise it will not work."

"Oh, yes, what should be done, what should be done." Old Man Lu patted his forehead, looked dazed, and turned around to warn the guards he brought, saying, "Have you heard that? Everything today is ruined by me. If there is a trace of the wind, be careful of your head."

"No!" Not only the Lu family's guards, but also the other guards agreed, showing their loyalty to the head of their family, and frankly confessed that they would not reveal any news.

It has to be said that this meeting was a joy for the host and the host. The heads of several major families were already ready to break the talk, but they never expected that there would be such a surprise to them.

Of course, these old guys also realized Li Muyun's terror. If they were really implemented according to other people's plans, it would be unimaginable what the Goguryeo people would face. I guess many people would starve to death by the time the plan was completed.

After the banquet, the heads of several major families calmed down and realized that Li Muyun's plan was so ruthless that they also warned their tribe members that if it was not necessary in the future, they would definitely not go against King Xiaoyao, or even if it was possible, it would be better not to even meet.

Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin listened to Li Xiaogong's reward.

At first, Li Er was confused because Li Xiaogong was just reposting, and some things could be remembered and some things could not be remembered.

However, as Li Xiaogong later asked the eunuch to ask for dozens of copper coins and put them together to make fun of them, Li Shimin's face changed, with surprises, surprises, and indescribable complexity.

As the most powerful country at that time, Li Shimin knew that this plan could be successfully implemented under the powerful force of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not like the aristocratic family to grow stronger by taking this opportunity.

This is a very contradictory issue. On the one hand, without the support of the aristocratic family, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, it is obviously not realistic to make Goguryeo cry and call her parents at once. But if the aristocratic family is involved, it will undoubtedly make the aristocratic family grow again.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin was a little confused and simply called his own convincing ones, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others discussed the plan.

To be honest, even Changsun Wuji, who claimed to be extremely wise, was a little confused after hearing the word economic war. After listening to Li Er's retelling Li Muyun's plan, Old Changsun also took a breath and sighed: "This Li Muyun is indeed a ruthless person. If his plan is really implemented, Goguryeo's economy will definitely collapse, and there will be another chaos at that time."

"Yes, this kid is indeed cruel, but I like his method." Li Shimin did not hide his ambitions and said with a sneer: "When the economy of Goguryeo collapses and the people's hearts are fluctuating, it will be the time when my Tang soldiers enter Liaodong."

Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched. The old man had long known that Li Shimin had the determination to pacify Liaodong, but he didn't expect it to be revealed so soon.

Li Shimin is famous. Yang Guang was defeated by the three campaigns of Goguryeo. If he could pacify Liaodong in Zhenguan, wouldn’t it be just enough to prove that Li Er’s ability is several times stronger than Yang Guang?

Just as I was thinking, I heard Li Shimin say, "But I really want to know, if I don't use the power of the aristocratic family, how much funds can I draw now?"

Fang Xuanling was shocked again, but he quickly replied: "If you have all your strength, it will be less than five million coins."

"Five million guan..." Li Shimin paused and sighed, "It's a little less. If I can get ten million guan, I won't need the power of others."

"Your Majesty..." Fang Xuanling heard from it that Li Er did not want to take the aristocratic family to play, and couldn't help but remind him: "Your Majesty, if you are a little unbearable, you will be a big plan."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. I think it is best to summon Li Muyun into the palace and ask him about his specific thoughts." Changsun Wuji expressed support for Fang Xuanling's opinion.

As the saying goes, if you are anxious, you can't eat hot tofu. It's not a matter of overnight development to rectify the aristocratic family. If you don't bring the aristocratic family to play this time, these guys will definitely make trouble behind the scenes. In that case, you will definitely not be worth the money in the future.

Moreover, it is difficult to prevent other people from participating in such matters. Only by letting private capital participate can we truly pose a threat to Goguryeo. It is not enough to succeed if we come forward in court. Even if we really have tens of millions of dollars, it will not be of use.
