Chapter 2542: Paper Money Worry-Free Report Chen
It is the twelfth lunar month, and all departments of the Tang Dynasty are busier.
Foreign wars, domestic taxes, and floods in the coming year.
The currency factory in Lijiazhuangzi is frantically printing Tang Dynasty banknotes, which are still named Kaiyuan Tongbao, and the watermark is the head of Li Longji.
Banknotes of different denominations have different sizes, different patterns, and blind spots.
A large amount of the court's income is placed in the warehouse of Lijiazhuangzi and sealed as collateral, and it is not allowed to be taken to the warehouse outside.
Lijiazhuangzi no longer prints normal exchange coupons, but only prints reward coupons for children, which also have collateral.
The court does not have enough gold, silver, and brass, so myrrh and frankincense are temporarily used as collateral, and precious metals will be exchanged later.
It will be issued from the first day of the first lunar month, for official purchases and to pay salaries to officials.
The legal currency of the Tang Dynasty, it is not allowed to be rejected.
"Xiao Yi, if the people do not recognize the issuance of Tang Dynasty banknotes, and if they exchange Tang Dynasty banknotes for exchange vouchers, the banknotes will inevitably depreciate. What should we do?"
Bi Gou was busy with the financial data of the Ministry of Revenue in the Political Affairs Hall. He suddenly remembered an important situation and asked the little robot to start a video call.
"We have made money. The banknotes of the Tang Dynasty have depreciated. I will continue to issue exchange vouchers and exchange them for banknotes at a lower price. I will give the extra collateral to the Tang Dynasty and continue to print banknotes."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Old Bi, how unconfident are you!"
The people have a high degree of recognition of the court. Many places are accustomed to using exchange voucher banknotes. The banknotes of the Tang Dynasty are more beautiful and stronger.
He also promised that as long as Lijiazhuangzi recognizes the banknotes of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Tang Dynasty will recognize them.
Who dares to depreciate the banknotes with a one-to-one collateral currency? I will pay you to death.
Swish! Bi Gou closed it directly. Just ask a question. There is no time for small talk.
"Why don't you say goodbye?" Li Yi muttered and shook his head, while estimating how much money Datang would have available next year.
This year's normal fiscal revenue exceeds 100 million strings, and overseas trade brings back more than 100 million strings. This is the data after calculating the depreciation of too many commodities.
Nearly 70 million strings were spent on building roads, canals, the Yellow River Bridge, shipbuilding, and salaries in various prefectures of Datang.
It is not easy to spend nearly 150 million strings of funds that can be taken out next year.
Unless the construction of railways continues to be funded by the fiscal budget, and other railways are built based on the railway's own income, where will the court's money be used?
"How much money do you think it will cost to wage a war against foreign countries?" Li Yi asked Ling San San.
"Is it good to make money from fighting? Only wars with little difference in strength cost money. Our Datang fights others, and the cost is very small. It is also profitable to build airships for transportation."
The little robot responded, there are many sheep on the grassland, you rush to Chang'an to transport them by train?
The airship transports about 20 tons at a time, and you can make back the money for the airship by running more times.
"We can only continue to build roads, the Yangtze River Bridge..." Li Yi felt a toothache when he thought about building the Yangtze River Bridge.
The road to Hangzhou may require a section of shipping, and it would be much easier if there was a bridge.
The Yellow River has a dry season, the water flow is very small, and most of the riverbed is exposed. The Yangtze River still has a lot of water during the dry season.
"Ferry is fine! Now the technology for building bridges is not up to par, and it is very difficult to dismantle the built bridges later. We need to leave space for the waterway later.
Build roads, build roads, not enough manpower, find people from East Asia and Southeast Asia! Pay them wages, not buy slaves.
They come to work, their lives are better, and their families come too, this is to absorb immigrants.
Then build ships, crazy shipbuilding, steam locomotives, gasoline, diesel-powered ships, increase the shipping capacity of the main trunk and tributaries of the Tang Dynasty."
Ling Sansan continued to give advice, his voice cute.
"Not bad, not bad, I promise not to format you within three months." Li Yi was satisfied and gave a reward.
"Thank you!" Ling Sansan turned his head away.
Li Yi touched its head: "Building roads is right. We need to produce tractors. If the road conditions are not good, they can't run.
First, build short distances in key prefectures, and then connect them. The short distances of a hundred kilometers from county towns to prefectures and other county towns actually play a greater role.
Twenty counties outside Jingzhao Prefecture and a bunch of counties in Henan Prefecture should build roads that can run tractors."
After Li Yi finished speaking, he began to write a feasibility report, which should include data.
Including the use of steam engine excavators, steam engine transport vehicles, diesel and gasoline transport vehicles, and various types of ships to assist in road construction.
There is so much surplus funds this year. If we don't spend it, there will be more next year.
Through overseas trade, we can seize a large amount of resources and exchange other people's raw materials with low-cost and high-tech things.
Processing raw materials and continuing to exchange, wealth increases rapidly.
……
On the first day of the Little New Year, Li Yi made a feasibility report he had prepared, which was the development plan of Datang for the next year.
It took him eighteen days, including various possible unexpected situations and remedial measures.
First, send the thick report to Li Longji and others, let them read it first, and after reading the explanation, accept inquiries.
From morning till evening, no one ate lunch. They listened to Li Yi and asked questions at the same time, just like a defense.
After the last question was answered, everyone felt exhausted. There was too much content. They had to keep up with the pace and ask questions.
"We can't have the scholar class anymore. The kids are already very good. After listening to Xiao Yi's report, when I mentioned the scholar class, I wanted to compare him with others."
Lu Huaishen rubbed his temple and praised, and everything for the next year was arranged.
Everyone follow the framework, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Details can be adjusted. If you really encounter something that does not appear in the report, just ask Xiao Yi.
"Let's have barbecue skewers in the evening, not barbecue slices, just skewers, and drink warm low-alcohol rice wine. You can drink more."
Liu Chong suggested. He was hungry! He didn't want to have a full meal, so skewers were the best, grilled and fried.
"Just skewers." Li Longji supported it. Everyone can chat about today's report while eating.
"Okay!" Li Yi is in a good state. When answering questions, he even has new ideas! It can be used next year.
Someone goes to get skewers. There are grilled skewers at any time in Zhuangzi.
Someone suddenly wants to eat skewers. What should I do? Prepare them in advance. If no one eats them, they can be sent to Zuixianju. There are many customers there, and they will be given away if they don't order them.
Usually, they can be eaten. The skewers are worn for 24 hours, and children like them.
The craftsmen have to take a day off when they are tired. When they eat, they will find other workers to drink and relax.
Zhuangzi does not allow working every day. He takes at least one day off in ten days. He arranges it himself. If there is no urgent work, he takes two days off in ten days, and they take consecutive days off.
Li Yi grills by himself. There are only these people in total. He can handle it, including eating.
He drinks beer while grilling and distributes the grilled skewers.
Taohong Qingsong and others who are responsible for delivering the skewers pick up a skewer and eat it by themselves. They are familiar with each other. They have been doing it for years.
Others think it is good. They eat it by themselves, but some people around them do not eat it. It is not lively enough.
"There is a letter from the other side. We have occupied two-thirds of the Xiongjin Governor's Office these days. The remaining one-third will be occupied by thirty."
Ling Sansan reports the situation of the Tang army in Silla every day. There were killings before, but later there were fewer.
There are always people who think they do not belong to the Tang Dynasty, and then they attack when they see that the Tang soldiers are good to them, and they are killed.
