Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Chapter 420 The prey is raising money, the enthusiastic passer-by outside the household department

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Dai Zhou asked in disbelief.

Li You nodded and said, "That's right, someone took advantage of the chaos to ship out these color-changing inks."

"Hmph, it's okay to deceive children about this matter, but you still want to deceive me, naive!"

Dai Zhou frowned when he heard that the potion really flowed out.

"If that's the case, what should we do now?"

Li You smiled strangely and said, "What else can I do? If you don't have any money, just borrow it!"

"Smashing the pot and selling the iron, I also want to make up the 300 million pennies!"

Li You did what he said.

In the next three days, everyone in Chang'an knew the news of Li You's return because of borrowing money everywhere.

It has to be said that Li You's popularity is not bad, and the 300 million Guan was really borrowed by him.

Among them, the most generous are the two big snakes in Chang'an, Jingzhao Dushi and Jingzhao Webster.

Now the two have made a lot of money by relying on the business of housing in the school district.

The so-called wool came from the sheep, and the biggest reason they were willing to lend money to Li You was that Li You actually earned the money for them.

This time, it was borrowed in the name of the Ministry of Households, and with the guarantee from the government, what else could they refuse.

However, Sakura didn't quite understand Li You's act of borrowing money.

"My lord, why do we want to make this matter known to everyone?"

"Isn't it just 300 million guan? Even if the imperial court doesn't have it, I have it in the Shence Mansion!"

"In the past two years of grassland construction, our cement has sold very well. The dividends from Dou's family alone are 200 million a year."

Hearing this, Li You was also taken aback.

He only knew that the Shence Mansion had made a lot of money in the past two years, but to make Sakura treat 300 million guan as a piece of cake, it can be seen that this number is really big.

But Li You also understands that now is not the time to lament how much money he has.

He patiently explained to Sakura: "Sometimes, the strongest hunters often appear in the form of prey."

"It takes us three days to borrow money, which is to send a signal to the other party, that is, we cannot distinguish the authenticity of the money,"

"In this way, those people will naturally celebrate and relax their vigilance."

"Maybe, they will get some more Tang coins to exchange. Even if they can't get Datang coins, they must make sure that they consume all the ink they stole before."

"What this king is waiting for is an opportunity to wipe them all out."

Then Li You looked at Xiao Ying and asked, "Xiao Ying, can you tell me why they are so keen on building paper and printing factories in the past two years?"

"Isn't it just because I want to prostitute my technology for nothing, and then use it to print counterfeit banknotes."

"The emergence of counterfeit banknotes can show one thing, that is, they are among the printing factories that have been repaired before."

"Hmph, those who were involved in dealing with my Divine Strategy Mansion back then, don't even think about running away."

Three days passed quickly, and early in the morning, everyone discovered that a "golden mountain" appeared at the gate of the yamen outside the household department!
Although traces of copper coins can still be seen at the bottom of the "Golden Mountain", the golden roof, which is one floor high, is enough to attract the attention of most people.

"How much does this cost?"

"Why is the Ministry of Housekeeping making such a big fuss? Could it be that they want to send money?"

All of a sudden, those who passed by stopped in their tracks, and began to ask what the account department was going to do today.

There are more people watching, and naturally there are a few who know the inside story.

"I heard that someone came to exchange a large amount of Datang coins. It is estimated that the people in the household department thought it would be troublesome to move in, so they simply traded outside."

However, the onlookers were very unfamiliar with this title, so they couldn't help asking again.

"What are Datang Coins? Why haven't I heard of them?"

The insider said proudly, "That's why you don't understand. This is the banknote issued by my Tang Dynasty in the grasslands and the Western Regions, and it is the same as the copper coins and gold we use."

"Then why not just use copper coins and gold?"

Obviously, the onlookers were not very satisfied with this answer.

However, the insider is already a little impatient.

"You are stupid, Grassland, the Western Regions are so far away, it takes a lot of effort to transport copper coins there. It is for this reason that His Royal Highness King Yan invented Datang Coins."

"A thin piece of paper can be worth hundreds of copper coins. Isn't this much more convenient to use?"

The onlookers weighed their wallets and nodded in understanding.

But then he said again: "Convenience is convenience, but a piece of paper is worth so much money, who would believe it?"

This time, the insider finally couldn't help knocking his head and said: "With the guarantee of the imperial court, how can you not believe it!"

"Look this time, those people from the Western Regions who are holding Datang coins are going to leave Datang to return to China, so they came to exchange for Datang coins. Didn't the Ministry of Households immediately take out the real money!"

"What are you worried about about the reputation of our Tang court?"

The onlookers touched their heads, nodded Hanhan and said: "This is true, our court has always said the same thing."

"Hey, but the Tang coins with so many benefits are actually used by those foreign races first. Thinking about it, I'm still a little bit unwilling."

This time the insider finally laughed, and he said, "Actually, you can use it if you want, and you can exchange it at the household department."

"I'm going to take my daughter to the south next month. It's inconvenient to bring too much money. We'll change some later, so it's easier to go on the road."

Hearing this, the onlookers also nodded and said, "I'll change some later."

This time it was the insider's turn to be puzzled, and he said, "I changed it because I had to travel a long way, and you're staying in Chang'an, why change this!"

The onlookers gave him one, and said with proud eyes: "As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not carry a few coins of the Tang Dynasty with me!"

"The imperial court even put out this golden mountain, so why would they swallow my little money!"

This time, his words were supported by many people around him.

Anyway, the banknotes and copper coins were exchanged one by one. After seeing the big hand of the Ministry of Finance, they also became very interested in Datang coins.

As long as the people in the household department can exchange it smoothly, they will all be willing to exchange some for fun.

Seeing everyone's eager expressions, Li You couldn't help but gave a thumbs up to the two people in the crowd who were asking and answering.

Now that the stage is set up, it is natural for someone to sing. Although the protagonist is not yet here, Li You asked Jin Yiwei to come to warm up the scene first.

In the future, Datang coins are destined to be used in the entire Datang territory, so Li You will publicize them whenever he has the opportunity.

What's more, now that he has worked so hard to build a "golden mountain", he will not waste this opportunity.

Since some people were waiting to see the exchange, more and more people gathered around the "Golden Mountain" money. When the group of Persian merchants arrived, there was a sea of ​​people outside.
