Sure enough, people's distrust of paper money has never changed.

If you have high value, use silver coins, and if you have gold coins, it is just copper coins. In short, paper coins are still too embarrassing after all.

It can only be considered as making up for the shortage of money, which few people usually know.

Hearing these words, Li Anguo, who was standing by, couldn't help but expose his lies: "As far as I know, on weekdays, the Transportation Office does not charge money tickets. If you take the lead, how can the people use it?"

"No, people, how can I accept it?"

Hu Binwang couldn't help but retort: ​​"The money tickets have dropped significantly. The money tickets have always been worth only 900 yuan. People are more keen on copper coins and silver coins."

"alright--"

When the emperor heard this, he frowned and said, "No matter what, the Transportation Office has done a wrong thing. How can you not collect money? The more you collect it, the less valuable it is."

"The world's money house is the first initiator!"

Li Jia did not let Li Anguo go, and couldn't help but sneer: "Shaofu Temple is so brave and can't even listen to my words."

"His Majesty calms down—"

Li Anguo knelt down and shouted: "Young man should be damned, but the young man knew he was wrong. This matter was all because of the fraudulent tickets, which caused the world's money house to lose hundreds of taxes, so he rarely accepted the money tickets."

"Since the money tickets are costly, they naturally have no way to trust them, so they use less money tickets and are no longer liked."

"Fake money?"

Li Jia was slightly stunned. He turned his head and said, "The paper, watermark and numbers of money tickets are all unique. How can there be fake money?"

Li Jia really couldn't believe it.

This paper money is equivalent to a redemption ticket. Naturally, the anti-counterfeiting technology is very superb. Whether it is watermarks, wear marks, or even edges, there are ten unique anti-counterfeiting marks.

If those thieves can be imitated, unless they are internal thieves.

"His Majesty--"

Li Anguo smiled bitterly and said, "For the old masters of the money shop, they naturally recognize those anti-counterfeiting marks at a glance, but fake money is 80% similar. It is difficult for ordinary apprentices to distinguish them."

"And for ordinary people, this kind of fake ticket with two or three marks is even more difficult to guard against and difficult to distinguish."

"Also, only copper coins and silver coins will not deceive people."

Upon hearing this, Li Jia couldn't help but choke.

Indeed, although the money ticket is light, it is precisely because of its complex recognition that ordinary people are discouraged. You cannot expect the illiterate people to be so smart and will definitely be disappointed.

The emperor thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "It is indeed the simplest, the longest."

In order to solve the money shortage, Li Jia introduced two currencies: gold and silver coins, as well as money notes.

An ordinary silver coin weighs about half a tael, which means it is always worth.

Nowadays, the ratio of silver to copper is one silver to two coppers.

The silver content is about 90%, and the remaining 10% is copper and tin synthesis, making some difference.

The gold coins are also half a liang, equivalent to five silver and five jin of coins.

Therefore, the lowest coins circulating in the market are one ci, the highest is one gold coin, and the value is five jin of coins.

At this point, money tickets are awkward as intermediate currency. With paper, the credit is too low.

Li Jia gradually realized this situation. This time, because of a mere cost incident, the money tickets took a sharp turn.

After all, the foundation is still unstable!

"Forget it!" Li Jia shook her head and said, "From today, the money ticket can only be exchanged into copper coins, and the copper coins will no longer be formulated as money tickets."

To put it bluntly, if you only enter but not exit, the money ticket will be withdrawn from the market in a few years, and it will naturally be impossible to circulate.

"Your Majesty, it is said that Dali Country has copper ore, and it is the best red copper."

Lee Anguo said softly.

"No hurry!"

The emperor waved his hand and said that the Tang Dynasty could not fight on both sides, so the Dali Kingdom in the southwest was naturally placed in the last place.

"How many cattle from the north have gone south this year?"

Li Jia continued to the next topic and asked about Hu Binwang.

The Transport Office accepts national taxes. Naturally, taxes are required to be collected when selling plowing oxen, so there is some understanding.

"Youzhou Prefecture and Datong, Shanxi have transported many horses and oxen in the past two years. In terms of cattle, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 cattle every year. There are almost every village in Hebei Prefecture and Shanxi Prefecture, which is not short of cattle."

Hu Binwang thought for a moment before saying, "In Youzhou Prefecture, a plowing ox is about five jin. When he arrived at Shandong Prefecture, he had more than seven jin and about ten jin in Henan Prefecture."

"As for the south, Changsha Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture and other places, they love buffaloes even more. Their cattle breed quickly and are still insufficient, so they have to transport tens of thousands of heads from Chameng, Annan, and Shuizhen every year."

"Ten Strings!"

Li Jia muttered, the price of a cow is almost enough to buy two acres of good land in Henan.

“How much is the tax?”

"The cow is a big one, about 10%."

That is the tax that is always around money.

But the cow is a treasure, beef is eaten, beef tendon is made of bowstrings, beef horns are used as horns, cow leather is used as drums, tents, beef whip is used to replenish the kidneys, and cows are happy...

"Master Hu!"

"I'm here!"

"From now on, each cattle will be sold and taxed only 100 yuan per cattle, and the rest will not be collected."

"yes!"

Hu Binwang immediately nodded and responded.

Although he lost tens of thousands of taxes every year, there was no way out. This was the emperor's order and it was beneficial to farming, so he naturally had to obey it.

"The northern part of the discussion must be carefully."

The emperor whispered: "Whether it is cattle and sheep, or leather, the northern grasslands have what we want, and they also need our things, which are mutually beneficial."

"But, iron tools and crossbows must not be spread. Smuggling must be cracked down on strictly and the grassland tribes must not be strengthened again."

"Now in the grassland, two heroes compete for the hegemony, I don't want to see another one."

"I understand!"

Hu Binwang said bluntly: "Your Majesty knows that the Khitans have bought and sold a lot of things in the market."

Hu Binwang thought for a moment before saying, "In Youzhou Prefecture, a plowing ox is about five jin. When he arrived at Shandong Prefecture, he had more than seven jin and about ten jin in Henan Prefecture."

"As for the south, Changsha Prefecture, Jiangning Prefecture and other places, they love buffaloes even more. Their cattle breed quickly and are still insufficient, so they have to transport tens of thousands of heads from Chameng, Annan, and Shuizhen every year."

"Ten Strings!"

Li Jia muttered, the price of a cow is almost enough to buy two acres of good land in Henan.

"The cow is a big one, about 10%."
