Recently, his life has become more and more difficult. His eldest nephew is aggressive, and most of the high-ranking people in the small circle have been cleared out unknowingly, so he can't do anything alone.

What does the emperor think?

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Zhi, only seeing Wen Wen.

Does the emperor not want to touch the old man?

That's right, the old man is his uncle after all, and he is still an important minister, and the pheasant slave is a good boy after all.

His gray beard moved slightly, and his eyes became sharper, "Does Mr. Wuyang want to speak for the businessman? If so, the old man understands."

Jia Ping'an got two hot deals, and he didn't hide it, but with great fanfare.Many people have impeached Jia Pingan for doing business, but how many dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty did not do business?Such impeachment has no support in the DPRK.On the contrary, on the issue of collecting business tax, the rich and powerful who usually demeaned the businessmen to the bone opposed it with one voice.

Jia Ping'an said back then that business taxes should be collected, but at that time others spoke lightly and no one paid any attention to him.

Changsun Wuji's words were quite intriguing.

"Eldest grandson, today is a state matter."

Jia Pingan didn't want to chatter with a dying person, Changsun Wuji was taken aback, and chuckled lightly, "National affairs? That's right, but young people talk about state affairs, which makes people laugh."

The way you beep makes people speechless!

Jia Pingan glanced at him, and officially started his bewitching (speech), "Your Majesty, Datang's economy seems to be booming today, but this booming is obtained by using the north as the main grain-producing area. The minister once proposed to develop the south. , there are very few who can respond.”

"The grain in the north is enough. Since the Sui Dynasty, the weather in the Central Plains has been good, and the grain is even two dollars a bucket. The cheap grain hurts the farmers. What's the point of developing the south? Do you want to make the grain price lower?" Li Yifu was aggressive.

Xu Jingzong subconsciously wanted to vent, but Jia Ping'an had already said, "Does Li Xiang know why the weather in the north is so good?"

Uh!

Of course Li Yifu didn't know, not to mention him, no one besides Jia Pingan knew about it.But he said indifferently: "The Great Tang established the country, God bestowed blessings, and the people of the world were bathed in the grace of the emperor, enjoying themselves in harmony."

You sycophant, but your rebellion against the collection of business taxes has already made the emperor furious. Jia Pingan sneered in his heart, "Does Li Xiang know the reason for the frequent famines in the grassland?"

One of the most important factors for Datang to keep suppressing the grassland is that the grassland is sick and there are constant snowstorms... Don't laugh, it's really snowstorms and frost disasters.The famine caused damage to the strength of the grassland, which provided the time for Datang to suppress the Turks.Although Datang also fell ill in those years, Datang has a solid foundation!

"This is God's punishment!"

As a master of writing, Li Yifu is of course more than this level. He smiled slightly, "Otherwise, how can we explain that the Tang Dynasty was in good weather, but the grassland suffered frequent disasters in those years? Does Wuyang Gong have another explanation?"

He laughed mockingly.

"Of course there is."

Jia Ping'an discovered bamboo on the banks of the Yellow River, as well as many vegetation that are only found in the south.Afterwards, these vegetation disappeared.And now the weather in the north is actually smooth and warm.You must know that such scenes will not be seen in the north in the future, and the whole north will freeze into dogs in winter.As for the rain, sorry, not much.

Why is this?

"In Xinxue, there are many studies on the place under our feet, such as the climate. Xinxue has also recorded an answer through years of continuous observation. The place under our feet will be cold every once in a while, but now it is just not cold. In the beginning, the weather in the north of Datang was smooth. But as time goes by, the north of Datang will gradually become colder, and the rain will become less and less..."

In later generations, water was scarce in many places, so that water cellars were built to collect rainwater.

Li Yifu was stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, very contemptuously, "Who recorded it?"

The appearance of your sand sculpture is disdainful, Jia Pingan said lightly: "Seniors of the new school. They have been recording these things since the pre-Qin period, recording the changes in temperature and rain every year. The footprints of those seniors are all over the world, and they have been collecting These messages were recorded one by one."

"When the north of the Tang Dynasty is no longer a granary, where will the Tang Dynasty go? Don't forget the Yellow Turban Rebellion!"

The last sentence was so vicious that Li Yifu suppressed everything he wanted to say.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion was a natural disaster, but there were also man-made disasters.But what followed was a long-term disaster in the Central Plains.

"It's a matter of food."

Jia Pingan really didn't want to expect these prime ministers to open their eyes to see the world, so let's do it by ourselves.

"The other is the money shortage. The Tang Dynasty lacked copper, so that silk, spices, tea, salt and iron, sugar, and even grain were used as currency."

"The shortage of money in the Tang Dynasty led to economic chaos. The first reason is that the price of grain cannot be guaranteed. Although the harvest is bumper every year, it can't be two dollars a bucket of rice, right? That's not because cheap grain hurts farmers, but because it kills farmers!"

Two dollars a bucket of rice, and a field of chickens!

Farming at a loss!

"Your Majesty, I think more about it. If the money shortage spreads... the rich and powerful like to hoard copper coins, so much money is thrown away, and it will never come back. The money shortage will only intensify. How to raise soldiers?"

It takes a lot of money to raise soldiers, but Datang is so short of money, how to raise soldiers?Although there are many reasons for the decline of the Fubing system, such as land annexation, lack of money is also an important reason.

"At that time, we can only let the local families raise their own soldiers, but are those soldiers from Datang... or those people?" This is Jia Pingan's trump card.

The separatism of the feudal town... These words were like a thunderbolt, which made the monarchs and ministers in the palace burnt and tender.

"You are scaremongering!"

Li Yifu sprayed: "The shortage of money is the shortage of money. It has been a shortage for many years, and the Tang Dynasty has never collapsed. As for raising soldiers, the government soldiers prepare their own dry food, and they can support dozens of people without any effort at all. Wan Dajun."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Yifu with a gloomy gaze.Then he asked with a sullen face: "How to solve the money shortage you mentioned?"

No one knows the dangers of money shortage better than him.Every year he looks at the memorials from all over the world and has a headache, thinking about how to get more money.But the Tang Dynasty lacked copper, gold and silver, and it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"First, collect business taxes to encourage merchants. Second, look for mines."

"Where did the mine come from? I have searched countless times over the years, but I have never found a big mine."

Changsun Wuji put away his underestimation.Although what Jia Pingan said just now was a bit bizarre, there were some things in it that surprised him, such as how to raise soldiers after the money shortage.

He took a deep look at Jia Pingan.Jia Ping'an was the Minister of the Ministry of War. He didn't agree with it at first, thinking that this was the crown of the monkey.How can a young man hold a high position?He even communicated with Li Zhi in private, but Li Zhi insisted on his own opinion.But looking at it today, although this person is unreliable as an official and often runs away, his vision and insight are quite keen.

Back then Erlang mentioned the money shortage issue, but because there was no way to solve it, he had to shelve it.The first emperor also said at the time that if the money shortage continues, sooner or later it will become a big problem.

Later Datang suffered greatly from it.Wu Zong's extermination of Buddha not only acquired a large amount of land, but also collected a lot of money and metal, and then there were two prosperous dynasties.

Li Zhi's heart moved, "But Liaodong?"

Jia Ping'an has been to Liaodong recently, if there are mines there...

Look at the hungry eyes of those prime ministers, Datang has been short of copper for a long time!If anyone can find the big copper mine...

Jia Pingan was secretly happy, "Your Majesty, this time I discovered a copper mine on the other side of the Yalu River."

"really?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes were sharp, and his beard was swollen, "If it's true, Goryeo will be destroyed! Quangai Suwen...be punished!"

Of course it is true, the second largest copper mine in Asia in later generations is just opposite Yalushui.In later generations, he saw it across the river and said it was the second largest copper mine in Asia.

"So, Goryeo will be destroyed!"
