Chapter 306 Li Yan's Warning

From Li Shimin to Yizhou to escape the summer heat and then to his marriage with Su Moer, time flew around nearly two months. After the excitement, Li Yan's life returned to normal, and then he faced the schooling problems of three princes and one princess.

"Xizi is still too young, so I don't think she will send it to school. Why not let her learn something in the palace and then send it to Yizhou Primary School in the future." In the bedroom, Cui Yingying hugged Yizi and said to Li Yan sitting on the sofa.

Li Yan was looking through the financial report of Yizhou. He said: This is inappropriate. The purpose of the school is to teach knowledge, and the second is to let them learn the most basic interpersonal communication. How can they lock her in the royal palace?"

Cui Yingying thought what Li Yan said made sense, so she looked at Yizi who was eating the cake and asked with a smile: "Yizi, where do you want to go to school."

After wiping the bread slag on his mouth, Yizi said, "I want to go to school with Su Xiaoyan."

"Look, Yizi wants to go to school to attend classes by himself." Li Yan said proudly. Su Xiaoyan is now attending Yizhou Primary School. Because of the intervention of intelligent people, Li Yan re-divided the education model of Yizhou and asked Li Ran to give the most suitable educational plan. Therefore, Yizhou Primary School is very different from modern primary schools. Except for Chinese and mathematics as the basic course, the others are auxiliary courses, which only let them understand some scientific knowledge. As for the promotion to Yizhou Junior High School, the course model will be changed again. At that time, they will choose courses to study according to their interests, and the others will be talent classes, and this model will be maintained until the end of university.

Since Yizi said this, Li Yan also agreed, and Cui Yingying said, "Then let's do what Your Highness said."

Li Yan has always been a hand-off manager. Although Li Yan has set a future study for several people, Cui Yingying still needs to take care of their daily life and study. So he said, "Then I will leave this matter to you."

Cui Yingying nodded and said "Yes", she was fine now. With the help of a whisper, she could relieve her boredom. As for the other three princes, Li Yan personally disciplined her. After all, she was still inappropriate as her identity.

After reading the financial report of Yizhou from beginning to end, Li Yan suddenly remembered the right to mint coins. Today he had received news from Chang'an. Li Shimin had announced in the morning that the right to mint coins was lifted and restricted Li Yan's fiefdom. He stood up and said, "I have something to do." After that, he left the royal palace and went directly to the official office of Yizhou, and then asked Rongda to summon the main government officials.

After receiving the order from Li Yan, many officials, including Shangguan Yi, soon arrived at the Political Affairs Hall of the Yizhou Office. After Shangguan Yi, Guan Sixing, Dou Xiande and others arrived, Li Yan said, "There is a good news to share with you." Li Yan smiled.

When everyone saw Li Yan's happy expression, they thought that something was wrong. Li Yan held a special meeting to scold them. Shangguan Yi said, "Since your highness is so happy, it must be a very important thing." Shangguan Yi said.

Li Yan nodded and said, "That's right. From the news from Chang'an, the emperor has lifted the restrictions on the right to mint coins in my fiefdom. Now we can freely mint currency."

"The right to mint coins, my goodness. Your Highness, this is a great thing!" Guan Sixing said excitedly when he heard this: "Now copper coins are no longer suitable for trading in Yizhou. For example, the price of rice can only be paid at a bucket. But if you have a pound of rice, you can't pay, because it's less than a penny. There are some merchants on the market who even cut copper coins into half for use. It's very complicated, and the merchants have many complaints."

Dou Xiande was in charge of agricultural matters on the fiefdom. He nodded and said, "The Governor Guan is right, especially in counties and villages, this phenomenon is more common."

"And now there is no enough cash circulating on the market. Many merchants directly use the money tickets from Shengtang Money House to trade. This is not a solution." Shangguan Yi also said in a shirt.

Li Yan nodded. This information is exactly the information he has at present. Money reform is imminent. Otherwise, once the industrial revolution begins, it will seriously limit the development of Yizhou's economy. So he said: "This is also a problem that I am worried about, but now it is not a problem. With the right to mint coins, we can place new currency into the market, but at the same time we must also pay attention to controlling the amount of money to avoid causing economic disorder."

"How does Your Highness plan to mint new coins, and how many new coins are to mint this time?" Shangguan Yi raised the most practical question.

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "This time, the new currency will adopt a large number of monetary policies based on the size of the copper coins. Copper coins are divided into three categories: 100 and 1000 and 1000. The banknotes are one-text, five-text, ten-text, twenty-text, fifty-text, one-stream, five-stream, five-stream and one-stream. One-stream can be exchanged for ten cents and one-stream can be exchanged for ten cents. In this way, it will not be a problem for those small transactions. What do you think?"

Li Yan said, and all the officials were talking about it. Guan Sixing said: "Your Highness, it is feasible to have paper money, because many merchants now use money tickets to trade, which will not cause any major problems. It is just that money tickets rely on the copper coins of merchants who have money houses. But if we issue paper money on white, how can the people dare to use this kind of coins?"

"What the governor Guan said is that while the coins are issued, the Shengtang Money House will complete an essential transformation, that is, the Shengtang Money House will be operated as an institution of the official office in the future, and will formulate the exchange ratio of gold, silver and paper money to establish gold and silver reserves. In this way, the people should be at ease. As long as I, Yizhou, do not collapse, their money will not become waste paper." Li Yan continued to put forward new reform measures.

The officials started talking again, but this time they basically nodded frequently.

"Your Highness is wise. Now the Shengtang Money House has a very important position in the hearts of both the people and merchants. In this way, the monetary reform in Yizhou will be carried out naturally." Tong Nian has been in charge of the Shengtang Money House for so long, so he naturally understands the mystery.

Li Yan smiled and said nothing. After the discussion, other officials did not raise any new objections, which was considered to be an agreement with the statement of interests.

"Since you have no objection, then this matter is settled. In a few days, I will publish the form of coins in Yizhou Daily and the Shengtang Business Daily. You can learn about the form of coins in the newspaper." Li Yan said, and from then on he completely controlled the economy on the fief.

"Yes, Your Highness!" said the officials.

Putting the currency aside, Li Yan mentioned another thing, his face suddenly became serious, and said, "I believe you all know about my trip to Ryukyu some time ago. When I passed Jiangling Wharf, I saw the highest level of local officials. Although Jiangling was not under my rule, this is enough to attract my attention. You are all parents and officials on the fiefdom. I hope you can all be honest and dedicated. This is why I raised your monthly salary so high, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing, and can make profits for the people and benefit the fiefdom. But I also believe that there are also unclean people among you. After all, Yizhou is developing too fast, and the temptations you face are greater than the other."

Li Yan paused and glanced at the officials sitting below, "But, the great temptation does not mean that you can put down the principles of being an official, and the corruption of the law. If you are holding on to the idea of ​​becoming an official is to make money from the people and to enjoy it, I advise you to resign. Otherwise, if you lose your head, don't blame me for not reminding you that there are many talents in Yizhou Government Affairs University! They are all looking forward to the vacant positions."
