Chapter 148 sharp weapon
In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly, Li Li was lying on the bed and came back to his senses. The emperor "returned to the court". Of course, he followed him back to Huaiyin and reunited with his family.
Because he slept late, he was still a little sleepy. He held a colorful exchange coupon in his hand and looked at Huang Gui who was sitting by the window dressing in front of the mirror. He thought about the troubles last night and felt a little dazed.
"Aunt Huang, I, I don't want to work hard anymore..."
"Xiao Li, thank you for your hard work last night. You can take this money and replenish your body..."
Li Li coughed dryly, took back his spreading thoughts, and looked at the exchange coupon in his hand.
Look left and right, these are all redemption vouchers that are only available in Hanshan, Xuzhou, and are now valid.
But he was taken away from Hanshan and used as circulating currency in the Huaiyin tax and customs trading market.
This is not an accident. On the contrary, in the Huaiyin tax and customs trading market, Xuzhou's exchange coupons are really accepted by many merchants and used as circulating currency.
A leaf knows autumn, which shows that the credit for redemption coupons has been initially established.
However, exchange coupons (paper bills) cannot become currency because the conditions are not ripe, and merchants use exchange coupons to replace currency for transactions purely for convenience.
Even so, Li Li was still very excited. With the circulation of Tai'an Wuzhu and Tai'an Tongbao, all kinds of shoddy iron coins on the market were gradually replaced by new coins in the area east of Jiangzhou.
Currency reform is gradually getting on the right track.
When doing business, the situation where the car is used to pull iron coins has begun to change. The large-scale trade in goods in major commercial ports and markets in big cities has gradually become more convenient.
Although the people still resisted the "direct hundred coins" Tai'an Tongbao, it was at least a good start.
Li Li looked at the exchange coupons and was impressed. Huang Gui, who had finished washing up, came over and sat by the bed.
Seeing that he was looking at the appearance of the exchange coupons and guessed what he was thinking, Huang Yan said, "Now, businessmen are traveling around to do business in various places, which is much more convenient. With the tax bureau's support of the deposit and withdrawal business, they can carry a piece of paper and travel around the country calmly to deposit and withdraw large amounts of coins."
"Not only are merchants convenient, but many officials have also benefited from it. For example, officials who work in Jiankang and even Sanwu, but who work in other places have their daily living expenses relied on the storage and withdrawal of other places, which is much more convenient."
"The local tax bureaus not only manage the trading market, but also support the postal and communication services held in other places, but also allow many people to communicate with their families more conveniently."
Speaking of this, Huang Yan sighed: "Isn't the General Taxation Department established because of the collection of commercial taxes? Why are you playing so many tricks now? You are also doing postal and mailing."
"This is called professionalism, not only professional tax collection, but also professional services." Li Li put the exchange coupons and sat up. Huang Yan quickly helped him change his clothes.
"The establishment of the General Taxation Department is to collect commercial taxes. Commercial taxes are divided into overt taxes, residential taxes, and taxes are overt taxes."
"In order to better collect taxes, we set up a trading market, collect taxes, and let businessmen and businessmen have a relatively fair trading environment to avoid monopolying channels by middlemen."
"In order to serve merchants, ordinary merchants organize accommodation and warehousing, and supervise them to ensure that businessmen have food, accommodation and safety, and people and goods are guaranteed."
"The business news will be announced regularly, so that businessmen and business owners can understand the market and find business opportunities more easily. This is called information release and sharing."
"It is not easy to carry a large amount of money from all over the country, so the General Taxation Department takes the lead and organizes merchants with credit and financial resources to carry out off-site storage business, which greatly facilitates the development of cross-regional commercial activities."
"Based on this, supervise cooperative merchants to carry out lending business and provide low-interest loans so that merchants in need can borrow valuable working capital at critical moments."
"It is not easy for businessmen to travel around the world to contact their relatives and friends. It is not easy for family members to contact them. Nowadays, not everyone can use the post to deliver private letters."
"Then, it is natural that the Taxation Department will build a civil mailing system and provide charging services."
"It is not only merchants who benefit, but also many civilians, and even small officials who are officials outside can benefit."
"After such service, it will naturally attract a large number of merchants to gather in the trading markets of local tax bureaus, either sharing news or seeking business opportunities to do better business."
"The Taxation Department can collect taxes better, which is a joy to everyone."
After changing his clothes, Li Li picked up the redemption coupon: "Tax customs is not only a place where taxes are collected, but also provides various conveniences for commercial activities. This convenient redemption coupon will naturally become active."
Huang Yan shook his head: "No, it's not only merchants who are convenient, but also Sanlang. Sanlang can use this big network to build up news from all over the country."
"You can find out whether it is prices, the customs of various places, or the turbulence."
"The merchants who are already well-informed gather in the Taxation Department trading market, so the information they have gathered in the Taxation Department and finally summed it up to you."
"This is a service fee, and it is not expensive." Li Li smiled. "Others think that the General Taxation Department is just a tax collection agency, but in my hands, it is a powerful tool, like a clairvoyance, and a breeze."
"If the emperor and the court want to understand the situation in various places, they have to go through local officials and various bureaucrats. This system is outdated and inefficient, just like a person who is blurred and not easy to use, so I will be different."
"Sanlang's news is so well-informed?" Huang Yan asked. Li Li heard that his tone was wrong and raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
Huang Yan asked: "Then, is that Zheng family true or false?"
Li Li smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. The emperor thinks it is, so it must be."
"A beauty in the country is indispensable. Who can resist this temptation by a noble family girl from a noble family?"
"Will there be any problem?" Huang Yan was still confused. She was not worried that her daughter would fall out of favor, but she felt that something seemed wrong.
Li Li put away his smile: "There is no guilt. Whoever doubts the identity of this woman must come up with tangible evidence. If it is empty talk, it will only make the emperor more disgusted and more determined that the other party's identity is true."
"In addition, the empress and noble people are pregnant. The night is long, how can the emperor leave his pillow empty? In the past few days, the emperor has pestered the empress dowager to make a decision. You said, who can hold on to this anxious person?"
Huang Yan still didn't give up: "Isn't you going to find someone to recognize him?"
Li Li replied: "You are thinking too much. How can anyone see a girl in the deep boudoir? What are officials? Neighbors may not recognize them."
"If you don't talk about others, just talk about Peace. How could you recognize Peace just by finding an official in my shogunate to recognize him?"
"Or, if you find someone to recognize him in your neighborhood, you will definitely recognize him?"
The truth is right, Huang Yan has nothing to say.
She hopes that Li Ping'an will give birth to a daughter this time, so that someone will not hesitate.
When the imperial court recaptured Henan, a large number of meritorious soldiers settled in Henan, and implemented the equal-land system, mainly to make meritorious generals the chief officials of prefectures, counties and counties. Everything was different from the "convention".
A military meritorious group has begun to take shape, and Li Li's layout has been realized. Huang Gui believes that that day will come sooner or later, so...
So don't give birth to a boy, so as not to be embarrassed when you get it.
"What are you thinking?" Li Li asked, and Huang Gui, who was full of worries, quickly concealed: "I'm thinking, now that the Northern Expedition has come to an end, what should Sanlang do next?"
Li Li shrugged: "The King of Chu is so thin, and most of them starve to death in the palace. Now the emperor has succeeded in his two personal expeditions, and his reputation has soared. How could he be content with the status quo? There must be many people who come to join the emperor's favor."
"The emperor's mind will get hotter and hotter, so I'll watch the show."
Huang Yan thought for a while and asked, "You mean, do you have to take charge of the rule? But the emperor is a little younger."
Li Li replied: "It does not prevent people from speculating and creating momentum. As long as the emperor remembers this love and leaves a good impression, in a few years, the emperor will really take power. It will be the time for these people to rise up."
"What should I do if Sanlang?" Huang Yan asked again, and Li Li scratched his head: "Of course I'm just standing aside. Be a leisurely and easy-to-do senior sage. Of course, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions must be left to the newcomers."
This was a bit sarcastic, and Huang Yan felt relieved after hearing this.
The young emperor, who was full of energy and blood, achieved great success in the two Northern Expeditions, and his mentality would inevitably change drastically.
When the emperor felt that his wings were hard and he no longer wanted to listen to others' mercy and wanted to be arbitrary, not to mention the emperor's uncle who was recording the affairs of the Shangshu, even his father-in-law would become more and more annoying.
By then, Li Li will never be able to avoid it.
Huang Gui just felt depressed. Someone clearly had a powerful weapon, but he was desperate to save face and was reluctant to make up his mind. Isn’t this a waste of time?
