It was a huge problem for the court to collect taxes or pay large amounts of money.

Just sending the silver to the capital would cost a considerable amount of money.

If it is really possible to do as Li Ye said, deposit the silver in a local business, and then take the silver notes to the capital to withdraw cash.

This is not only convenient and fast, but also safer and, most importantly, costs less.

"This is indeed a solution, but it also has a big flaw!

Silver can be easily distinguished from fake ones.

But the banknotes you make from paper are easy to forge.

If someone forged silver notes and used them to withdraw cash from shops in various places, it would be troublesome.

I'm afraid the business will go bankrupt in a short time."

Princess Ruyue was very smart and immediately thought of the shortcomings.

"Yes, we can't just think about convenience. This method is a bit unreliable." Zhao Wudi frowned.

Li Ye said confidently: "Since you dare to do this, you must be sure that no one will find loopholes.

First of all, the paper used for all banknotes is made using a special method and generally cannot be counterfeited.

You can tell whether a banknote is real or not just by touching it.

In addition, many secret marks would be made on the banknotes, which only the clerks and the shopkeeper could know.

And depending on the clerk's level, the secret codes of silver notes they know are also different.

Even if some of the guys were bribed, they would not be able to produce perfect silver notes.

Moreover, the banknotes have special seals, and it would be extremely difficult to imitate them completely.

The banknotes will be updated every once in a while.

Even if the counterfeiters spend huge efforts to research and imitate, by the time they have almost finished imitating the original, the technology of the banknotes has been updated again.

It is still very difficult to crack it!

Even large-denomination silver bills must be registered.

We need to check the accounts every month to prevent counterfeiters from successfully exchanging the money without being discovered in time."

Li Ye talked about many anti-counterfeiting methods.

Listening to the two of them was an eye-opener.

I never thought that Yi could do this.

Just exchanging the silver notes for a large amount of cash and leaving it in the business would be a huge sum of money.

Such a large amount of money can be used to buy a large number of assets and make money, which is simply a multi-faceted business.

If someone exchanges a banknote for cash, they also have to pay a handling fee.

As long as this method can be promoted, Li Ye will gain huge wealth.

Not to mention exceeding the national treasury, it can even exceed the court's tax revenue by many times.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Since you are so confident, you can give it a try!

Try it in the richest places now.

If it works, we'll gradually expand it to other places." The princess was very excited.

I really appreciate this idea.

"That makes sense! I think it can work!" Zhao Wudi also expressed his approval.

He often led troops in battle, and just firing two shots made the soldiers feel inconvenienced.

If there were silver notes, they would be given directly to the soldiers or even mailed back home.

This allows soldiers to fight with greater peace of mind.

With silver notes, one can buy food conveniently everywhere without having to carry large amounts of silver over long distances.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be extremely beneficial to the court and the people.

"Okay, since you all think so, we'll start promoting banknotes right after we've provided relief to the disaster victims.

But this is a big idea, we must build an independent bank.

He also said that the employees and the shopkeeper must be extremely loyal and meticulous, and must be carefully selected."

The three of them discussed it and all thought the idea was feasible.

Zhao Wudi was even more impressed by Li Ye.

In order to make money, other princes won over many local officials and instructed them to extort money from the people.

However, due to his status as a prince, he was not severely punished.

Officials are always blamed.

But the power of the third prince and the crown prince is growing.

He took over the protection umbrella of local officials.

Even if the imperial court sent people to investigate, it would be difficult to shake their foundation.

Zhao Wudi was well aware of this situation and was extremely disgusted with the methods used by those princes to make money.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Wudi does not support any of the princes.

After finishing my relationship with Li Ye, I felt more and more that his talent was extraordinary.

Moreover, as a prince, he loves money and has a reason to take it.

Looking at Li Ye now, he is not only talented, but also has military power.

If one has enough money, it will be even easier for him to seize the throne.

If such a person were to ascend to the throne, the money he made would be enough to fill the national treasury.

There is no need to increase taxes and make life more difficult for the people.

Zhao Wudi has great expectations for Li Ye.

I really want to know if Li Ye could make the Dayuan Dynasty more prosperous if he became the emperor.

After a little preparation, we set off in a carriage.

The troops led by Zhao Wudi were all cavalry.

The journey was very fast.

They traveled non-stop for several days and arrived at the disaster-stricken Namwon Province within two days.

This time Xiao Xianbei was also with him.

But since there were outsiders present, Xiao Xianbei said nothing and just drank.

In order to hide Xiao Xianbei's identity, Li Ye told Zhao Wudi that this was his advisor and aide.

Because of his extremely introverted personality, he is too lazy to talk to others when he is not busy.

Let Zhao Wudi pretend that he doesn't exist.

Although Zhao Wudi was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

Since they are favored by Li Ye, they must be talented people.

Moreover, many talented people in ancient times were extremely eccentric.

This is a normal situation.

Zhao Wudi also followed Li Ye's advice and pretended he didn't exist.

Xiao Xianbei just kept drinking. There were two small dishes on the small table in front of him. He ate and drank leisurely.

The news of Li Ye's departure quickly reached the ears of the third prince, the crown prince, and Shi Wushuang.

Shi Wushuang said to Qin Qingxue, "We can't wait any longer. We must go to the palace immediately to see the emperor and ask him to plead guilty.

Then the emperor asked for instructions on disaster relief and atonement.

In this way, the emperor will have a way out and will not punish us too harshly.

After all, we are all disciples of Yunlu Pavilion, so we have to give them some face.

Once we arrive in Namwon, we can also provide more assistance to the victims and find opportunities to disrupt Li Ye's disaster relief efforts.

We must never allow him to gain the support of the people by achieving disaster relief.

If he continues to perform meritorious deeds, the Emperor will attach more and more importance to him, and our situation will become even worse."

Qin Qingxue felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Shi Wushuang said.

I feel that Shi Wushuang's behavior is extremely inappropriate.

She really wanted to get rid of Li Ye, the hidden danger.

But I don't want to use any means to achieve my goal.

Qin Qingxue's nature is not hopelessly bad, she is just obsessed with gaining status and becoming the best.

We do not want to achieve our goal at the expense of providing proper resettlement for the people affected by the disaster.

Wouldn't this kill a large number of people?

In this way, she became the bad guy!
