Pei Min got a prompt from Gao Lishi on the road and kept thinking about this question.

The flood of bad money is not uncommon in history.

Pei Min has the habit of reading every day. Some ancient books that record historical events record the impact of the imperial court confiscation of bad money and strictly prohibited the circulation of bad money.

When confiscating bad money, the most impact is not the people, but the market.

Although the implementation of the system of confiscating evil money is undoubtedly the people who suffer the most, most of the people are kind and helpless. As long as they can eat enough and wear warm clothes, all the remaining wishes will be enough. Even if they suffer, suffer, or suffer, it doesn’t matter.

After suffering losses, they only cursed for a few words, tightened their belts, and lived a life.

Nowadays, all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty are booming. As long as you have hands and feet, you will not have no food to eat unless the situation is special.

What is really affected is the market. Because a large amount of private money and bad money cannot be used, it will lead to market chaos, a large amount of goods being hoarded and cannot be sold, and it will be unsalable. This will cause people to fluctuate, the credibility of the court will decline, and it will not dare to use coins to trade and return to the most primitive barter situation.

Chang'an and Luoyang's economy will face huge challenges and collapse.

The policy of abolishing evil money has been implemented carefully and carefully in the past dynasties, otherwise it would not have been delayed until now to make this decision.

After pursuing its roots, Pei Min said confidently: "The most affected thing in abolishing evil money is Chang'an, Luoyang and Liangzhou. Once it is abolished, it will lead to the lack of money in the people's homes and the economy is tight. A large number of merchants' commodities cannot be traded, and the market is turbulent and chaotic. A large number of foreign investors can help us solve a large number of unsold items... to reduce tariffs, so that merchants from Liangzhou can travel to Chang'an, and Luoyang will sell the accumulated goods to the Western Regions. Our court also needs to do some other responses, with the Ministry of Revenue, and the court can buy goods that the government can use at a fair price from the hands of the people to reduce the pressure on the people. In this way, the people will be stable, and the market will not be greatly affected, and the best of both worlds is the best. In addition, officials in the two capitals are allowed to advance the official salary and set an example for officials, so that good money can flow smoothly into the people. This is also an excellent way."

Li Longji looked at Pei Min in a daze, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, and he whispered loudly: "This matter has great potential. If it goes well, it is indeed more certain than this year. It is just a one-year delay. Will Longshan and Wushaoling really be completed within one year?"

"I was not sure at first! But now, as long as the court fully supports it, it will be completed within one year!"

Pei Min's original plan was to take the people of Longyou for one and a half years to serve the people. But now the proposal to open Longshan and build Wushaoling has affected the overall situation of the court, and the situation is very different.

With the court's approach, the civil labor service mobilized will include Liangzhou and Guanzhong, and at least half of the available labor force is more than one year.

Li Longji smiled and said, "When it comes to agility in his mind, everyone in the world will not be the second choice!" He did not hesitate to appreciate Pei Min, and continued: "Two things that were not very related to you have been connected after you said this, simplifying the difficult things. The handling of bad money is imperative. But delaying for a year and minimizing the risks is also worth it."

He paused and said, "I will discuss this matter with several prime ministers again. What Jingyuan has to do is tomorrow. Use the black gunpowder you have figured out to leave the Chinese civil and military ministers in the court without saying anything."

Pei Min narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about this. For today's preparations, my place is enough to shock everyone. Your Majesty, the eunuch, must also be mentally prepared. When I bend my bow and shoot archery, I secretly find two cotton balls to plug my ears."

Li Longji said knowingly: "Okay, I will definitely make sufficient preparations in advance."

When Pei Min left the palace, it was late at night.

After eating and drinking in the palace, Pei Min practiced swords in the sword pavilion for a while, digested and read the book in the study for half an hour before going back to sleep.

Morning day the next day!

Li Longji once again mentioned the matter of opening Longshan and repairing Wushaoling.

If as usual, his words once again caused an uproar among the civil and military officials in the court.

Li Longji said, "I know this matter in my mind and there is no need to discuss it again." He suppressed the matter and did not mention it again since then.

All the ministers thought that Li Longji understood the interests and were no longer thinking about this matter.

But after more than ten days, Li Longji mentioned this matter again. Faced with the opposition of the court, he was even more unwilling to give up.

Prime Minister Song Jing said: "Your Majesty, now is an extraordinary moment. Bad money is influential and it is a great disaster. We cannot continue to tolerate it. To collect bad money in the world, we have already made plans for the market to collapse and fluctuate. The Western Regions business road is the key to saving the market, so we must not be careless..."

The Prime Minister said this, and the remaining ministers became more courageous and spoke out for justice.

Of course, Lu Huaishen dances the most powerfully.

Most court officials were concerned about the matter, but Lu Huaishen was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and that Pei Min was living too well and comfortable.

Facing the opposition of civil and military officials in the court, Li Longji waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and said, "I originally thought it was impossible to do this, but Duke Pei had high opinions. He has come to the capital, how about the good ministers, how should he listen to his opinions?"

Except for a few civil and military officials, most of them just realized that Pei Min, who was far away in Longyou, had arrived in the capital, and they were moved.

Li Longji glanced at Gao Lishi.

Gao Lishi understood and shouted loudly: "The governor of Longyou, the censor, the champion general and the chief censor, and the Duke of Liang Pei Min went to the palace to meet him!"

A series of titles, including the governor, the inspector, the Duke of Liang, the famous champion general, and the chief censor, made all the civil and military officials envious.

If we talk about the Tang Dynasty, except for Emperor Li Longji, who has the greatest real power, there is no doubt that Longyou holds a 70,000 army and controls the military and political power of the twelve prefectures.

Pei Min was wearing a crimson purple official uniform, a white jade belt, and a golden fish bag. Against the backdrop of his clothes, he also combined the battlefield momentum he cultivated in his years of killing career. The two were integrated into one place, showing his mightyness.

The officials in the court looked at Pei Min step by step with some complexity. Several years ago, the young man in front of him was just a candidate who entered Beijing. The insignificant drop in the ocean among all living beings has now become the most powerful official in the Tang Dynasty.

Who can predict?

"My minister Pei Min, I have met Your Majesty!" In this court, Pei Min respectfully bowed to Li Longji and greeted him.

"No gift!" Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Duke Pei Guoyida, what do you have to say to him?"

All civil and military officials looked at each other, but no one spoke for a moment.

They have seen Pei Min's power more than once.

This young man, who was very accomplished and highly favored by the emperor, was also clever and eloquent. He had faced all officials several times, but he had no defeat. He even almost turned over what he said as Prime Minister Lu Huaishen.
