As expected.
The items in the system had increased from one to five.
They were the Divine Dragon Armor, the Green Melon Sword, the Body Tempering Pill, the Paper Making Technique, and the Potato Seed.
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed.
This time, the system store was indeed much more reliable.
Now, he no longer needed the Body Tempering Pill for the time being, because Li Zhi had directly exchanged for a set of Divine Dragon Armor and a Green Melon Sword.
A set of Divine Dragon Armor only cost 100 domineering points, and the Green Melon Sword also cost 100 points. It could be said to be a cheap and high-quality item.
This Divine Dragon Armor was indestructible and impenetrable. It was also very thin, like a set of tight-fitting clothes. Others would not even be able to notice it if they wore it.
As for the Azure Melon Sword, it could cut through iron like mud. Li Zhi held the sword in his hand and gently waved it. Immediately, a copper pot was cut into two pieces, and the cut surface was flat and reflected in the mirror.
"Good sword! It's indeed a good sword!" Li Zhi praised endlessly.
If all of his Brocade Guards were equipped with this kind of longsword and wore the Divine Dragon Armor, who would be able to stop them?
Such a team could even fight against a hundred or more.
In addition, the Paper Making Technique and the Potato Seed only cost 100 Domineering Points.
Potato did not exist in the Tang Dynasty. It was only introduced into China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The yield of potatoes was extremely high, and their growth cycle was short. They were one of the best ingredients to fight famine.
Even in the 21st century, potatoes were the second most important food in the world after the main food.
According to the system, this paper making technique could create all kinds of paper, including toilet paper, kraft paper, copper paper, and so on. It was not limited to the Xuan paper of the Great Tang.
At first, Li Zhichu felt that this skill was really useless, but after thinking about it carefully, it was also very useful, and he was happy.
Li Zhi temporarily sealed the remaining domineering points and used them when he needed them.
The sunrise the east, and the sun rose and set.
After Li Zhi had breakfast, he went straight to Taiji Palace for the morning court session.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!”
"Greetings, niangniang, thousands of years, thousands of years!”
After the ministers had finished shouting, the sharp voice of the Chief Eunuch Wang An rang out in the court.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!"
At this moment, the old minister Di Renjie stepped out of the crowd and said in a clear voice.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report! Just like the flood of privately minted coins, the prices of goods in the Jianghuai area soared, trade declined, and taxes suffered a heavy blow. I hope Your Majesty can come up with a good plan as soon as possible!”
"There's actually such a thing!" Li Zhi frowned.”
"That's right. The Jianghuai area is the center of our Great Tang's trade, and transactions are frequent. However, the custom of privately minting copper coins and iron coins is growing. I and Minister Guo of the Ministry of Revenue have calculated that privately minted coins have actually reached more than five million strings. In many downtown areas, there is almost no official money.”
Li Zhi recalled that Shangguan Wan 'er had sued Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi for privately minting coins. It seemed that these matters were inextricably linked to them!
However, even if Lu Ze and Lu Shizhi were captured, it would not solve the problem of overflowing private money.
After all, many of the places where coins were minted were extremely secretive, and the copper and iron coins of the Great Tang basically had no anti-counterfeit markings.
It was easy for others to forge the same coin.
There was no way to finish investigating.
When it came to this topic, Lu Zhi stretched her neck out very long. After all, this coin-making business was her private property.
From this alone, she could earn nearly a million taels of silver every year.
Through this money, she recruited soldiers from all over the country and recruited many private soldiers. It could be said that she was rich and powerful. Among the Empress, only Wu Zetian could compete with her.
Li Zhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He thought of a brilliant idea.
Now that he had mastered the art of making paper, and could make very high-grade paper, if he made his own notes, then he could completely put an end to the phenomenon of privately minting coins.
As long as the technology to make paper was not leaked, no one could forge it privately.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, paper money appeared in China. It was called Jiaozi.
He had only accelerated the process.
"Elder Di, I want to create a new coin to completely replace the old coin. Moreover, this coin cannot be imitated by others.”Li Zhi said loudly.
"Oh? Your Majesty, in the past, our dynasty also used this strategy, but the effect was minimal. Often, new counterfeit money would appear very quickly.”Di Renjie said.
"This time, such a thing will definitely not happen again.”Li Zhi was confident.
At this moment, a lazy and magnetic female voice came from behind the curtains.
"Your Majesty, I think we should let Marquis Xieyang Lu Ze and Marquis Wu 'an Lu Shizhi handle the matter of the new coins. These two people wholeheartedly share the Emperor's worries and have been immersed in the field of coins for a long time.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's mind was instantly filled with 10,000 curses.
Li Zhi thought to himself,'F * ck, do you really think I'm a fool? Wasn't the matter of privately minting coins done by your two scumbag younger brothers? If I still want to interfere with the new currency now, I'll have to be stupid!”
"Empress, if tonight's service makes zhen comfortable enough, there is still room for discussion!”Li Zhi smiled and said to the back.
"Ah, this…"
"Aiya, this official has been a little deaf recently."
"What did you say? Why can't I hear you?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The ministers 'faces instantly turned red as they tried to avoid the topic.
Many people started to pretend to be deaf.
After all, how could these officials dare to listen to the Emperor flirting with the Empress?
"You!" Lu Zhi's face instantly turned red, blood practically dripping from her pretty face.
"Hahaha!"
"Hehehe!"
"Elder sister is so blessed, the emperor specifically wanted to visit you.”Bao Si covered her mouth and smiled.
However, there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Yes, my sister is very envious!”Chen Yuanyuan giggled as well. She looked like a beautiful woman.
