Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, Li Shimin knew.

After all, Li Shimin was very afraid of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

Li Shimin naturally paid close attention to the traces of their clan leader.

"Not yet. They didn't get together after they left Chang'an City."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

From the time they left Chang'an City, he had Yuan Tiangang send bad guys to keep a close eye on them.

But so far, I haven’t seen them do anything out of the ordinary, let alone have any contact with them.

"This is strange."

Fang Yuan was surprised.

He had a strong feeling that it would not be so easy for the patriarchs of the Five Surnames and Qiwang to leave.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang would like to see you."

At this moment, Wang De came in from outside.

"Xuan!"

Li Shimin's eyes narrowed and he immediately announced that Yuan Tiangang was coming in.

Fang Yuan saw that Li Shimin did not let him leave, nor did he say anything about leaving.

Yuan Tiangang arrived at this time, probably because he found the reason for their departure.

"Your Majesty, minister."

Yuan Tiangang hurriedly walked in.

But after seeing Fang Yuan here, he didn't speak immediately.

"Is it because of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang thing?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

"Longxi, Zhaojun, Boling, Qinghe, Fanyang, Xingyang, Taiyuan and other places vigorously promote seven-star banknotes."

"In some places, they exchange 100 copper coins for 110 banknotes, in some places, 100 copper coins are exchanged for 120 banknotes, and in even more extreme places, 100 copper coins are exchanged for 130 banknotes!"

Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice.

When he saw Li Shimin asking if it was about Wu Surname Qi Wang, it meant that if it was about Wu Surname Qi Wang, he could tell it in front of Fang Yuan and there was no need to hide it.

"The maximum loss is 30%?!"

"What do they want to do?"

Li Shimin was shocked.

I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart.

The feeling became stronger and stronger, and I felt more and more that something big had happened.

"Your Majesty, does the court also recognize seven-star banknotes?"

Fang Yuan's expression changed and he exclaimed.

He thought about something, something terrible.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Li Shimin responded quickly.

Seeing Fang Yuan so panicked, he became even more uneasy.

"What a tragedy!"

Fang Yuan said with an ugly expression.

"What happened?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked.

It’s already this time, why are you still hiding it?

Yuan Tiangang also looked at Fang Yuan, curious about what Fang Yuan was talking about.

"I promote road construction and community building. I have the idea of ​​taking back the copper coins of the world's aristocratic families and promoting paper money."

"Nowadays, seven-star banknotes are being exchanged at a loss. The aristocratic families can use less copper coins to exchange for more banknotes, and then turn them in to build roads and communities."

"In this way, instead of promoting our banknotes, we help them promote the seven-star banknotes. This is a huge benefit to their seven-star banknotes, and they will be completely circulated throughout the world."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Whether it is Chinese banknotes or seven-star banknotes, they are actually just a piece of waste paper in each other's hands.

Only when it circulates out and then flows back is real money.

Seven-star banknotes took advantage of this opportunity to push the banknotes out vigorously and exchange them for the copper coins of the families, who made a lot of money.

As for the imperial court, it was frantically absorbing their banknotes, and invisibly suffered a loss from the exchange by Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.

"Damn, they are so hateful!"

"Fang Yuan, what do you think I ordered not to accept seven-star banknotes at this time?"

Li Shimin was furious.

I could have made a hundred, but after using the operation method of Wu Xing Qi Wang, I could only make seventy.

And what if the treasury is full of seven-star banknotes? You are just looking for shame, and others will laugh you to death.

At the same time, Li Shimin also secretly admired Fang Yuan for promoting the construction of roads and communities while also involving banknotes.

What a talented person who can accomplish multiple things with one stone.

"Your Majesty is not afraid of breaking up with Wu Xing Qi Wang?"

Fang Yuan was stunned and said in surprise.

Before, Li Shimin refused to break up with Wu Xing Qi Wang.

Now it's still because of the banknotes that I'm about to break up with Wu Xing Qi Wang.

"They definitely didn't leave Chang'an City because of the banknotes."

"Now that they have a plan, it's not up to me whether we want to break up or not."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He doesn’t want to break up with Wu Xing Qi Wang.

But they left Chang'an City one after another, which made Li Shimin feel very uneasy.

Now we are focusing on the money brought about by building roads and residential communities. How can we tolerate them?

"Time is money, and we may lose a lot of money every quarter of an hour late."

"Now that Your Majesty has made a decision, I think I will immediately issue an imperial edict to the world."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Nowadays, many aristocratic families in the world are working together to build roads.

Documents kept coming to Fang Yuan from all over the place.

But they have no idea whether they use Chinese banknotes, copper coins, or seven-star banknotes.

In this case, if all payments were made with seven-star banknotes, it would be a huge loss for the court.

It is also a huge insult to myself.

"I understand!"

"Wang De, prepare a decree!"

Li Shimin nodded heavily.

Call Wang De from outside the palace and immediately draw up an edict.

Not long after, an imperial edict was drafted and handed over to Yuan Tiangang.

"Your Majesty, won't you go through three provinces for proofreading?"

Yuan Tiangang received the imperial edict and asked in confusion.

When the emperor issues an imperial edict, he needs to go through a complicated process.

But there are also emperors who directly issue imperial edicts, but the effect of such edicts is not as great.

"How long has it been since this happened, and you still want them to interfere?"

"Go and inform the world immediately, especially the governors' offices everywhere!"
