Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Can't be used? Yes, if this money was in his hands, he would definitely use it! The country needs money too much, right now the national treasury is really empty space.    

After thinking for a moment, His Majesty said, "Then Zhen will find a person who is absolutely reliable. Can't I not touch it for a single cent?"    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, does such a person really exist? But taking ten thousand steps back, assuming that there really is such a person, he really doesn't move a single cent, but what do you think the result will be? This gold coin would be like copper coins, becoming a vampire of the Imperial Court. And will not be able to reach self-sufficiency."    

"What do you mean?"    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "The current depository has not used a single cent of the Imperial Court, right?"    

"No."    

His Majesty originally wanted to say that his gold was there, but after thinking about it carefully, those gold were still his, so it could not be considered as paying a price.    

He nodded.    

Xiao Yun said, "But if the depository is now in the hands of the Imperial Court, how much would His Majesty think it would cost?"    

"Do you still need to spend money?"    

"Ha!"    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "There is a lot of money spent here! If you do not know how to operate it, the money spent is far beyond your imagination. "    

"Then tell me where to spend the money."    

"First of all, the production of gold bills. Gold bills can't be faked. It's because the production process is extremely complicated, and the entire process is a secret. In order to keep this secret, the grasslanders raised a craftsman. This is only the most economical part of the entire process."    

" And the expenses? "    

"The construction of the depository of scriptures is of utmost importance! The reason why money can be exchanged for the entire day is because of this. The reason why gold coins can be exchanged for the entire day is because of the existence of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. There are places that can be exchanged. The Gold Hidden Pavilion is not only spread across all the Dao Provinces. How many counties and counties were there in the Great Qin Country? Every place needed to build shops, as well as manpower and resources. How much would that cost? I'm afraid it won't be cheaper than building officials everywhere, right?"    

" This... "    

Cold sweat broke out on His Majesty's forehead.    

He only needed to think for a moment to know how much this project cost.    

Xiao Yun continued, "This is not the end. It seems like I want to be in the early stage. Because other than labor, this is more expensive than the initial stage. The real thing that kills me is the copper coins that I exchanged for! Your Majesty... You have seen this list, so you naturally know how big the numbers written on it are. Then... How can the money gathered from all four directions be transported to the capital? Place it in the depository? Your Majesty, have you calculated how much it will cost? And these costs are continuous, where would you exchange it for more? It needs to be transported back, where can I exchange for more, and it needs to be transported over... Your Majesty, how much do you think it will cost to do this? "    

His Majesty was speechless for a long time. Finally, he said, "It should be a huge amount!"    

" Yes, it is really huge. "    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "But the money exchanged with gold coins cannot be consumed. Or rather, it cannot be reduced. If the depository is in the hands of the king, what is the king going to do?"    

... "Naturally some money from the national treasury to fill in the money."    

"Yes."    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "That is to say, even if you find an official who would not be greedy for a single cent in the depository, Your Majesty, after you have this depository of gold, even if you find an official who would not be greedy for a single cent. You will also need to spend a lot of money and resources to maintain its normal operation. Right? "    

"That should be the case"    

Xiao Yun spread out his hands again and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, since when did the commoner ask for money from Your Majesty?"    

"This!"    

His Majesty was shocked.    

He immediately asked, "Yes, why do you not want money? Could it be that the money has been reduced? "    

"Of course not."    

"Then... how did you do it?"    

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "So, the things here are very complicated. It is not something that can be done by just handing over the peasants."    

"You are telling the truth!"    

"Uh... Why do the peasants look like criminals?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This matter needs to be divided into three steps."    

"Three steps?"    

"The first and second steps have been completed. The second step is still developing. As for the third step, it is already in the plan. We will try to use it. "    

"What is the first step?"    

"The first step is to wait for the gold notes to become even more valuable!"    

"Ah?"    

" Your Majesty, the gold notes... Hehe, what did you exchange for it?"    

"Of course it's gold. You said earlier that gold would be troublesome to bring out, so you replaced it with gold notes."    

"Then Your Majesty, how's the price of gold now? Compared to before, is it expensive or cheap?"    

"Of course it's more expensive! After the New Dollar incident, the civilians did not trust copper coins and wanted to exchange copper coins for other things. Just the gold coins alone were worth a hundred and one tael, but now it has reached three hundred and one tael! "    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "What did the civilians use to exchange gold coins for gold coins?"    

" Of course it was gold, but isn't it possible to use copper coins to exchange for gold coins in the Gold Hidden Pavilion? But first it's gold, then gold coins."    

"That's right, it's precisely because of this that the price of gold has been increasing. Previously, we used 100 gold notes to exchange for one tael of gold. Now, one tael of gold notes is worth 300 gold notes. In other words, as long as he holds the gold coins, the amount of copper coins he has will be tripled. In this way, who else would want to keep the copper coins in their hands? Seeing that it was becoming less and less valuable? Why don't we quickly exchange it for gold coins? "    

His Majesty frowned and lowered his head to think for a while. Suddenly, he was shocked and immediately asked, "That's not right! Previously, the civilians exchanged 100 gold coins for one or two gold coins. Now, if they used gold coins to exchange for copper coins, then... What do you have to give them 300 dollars? ! This..."    

His Majesty suddenly stood up and said in a stern voice," In this way, won't the entire Great Qin Country not have enough copper coins? "    

When he said this, even Xiao Yun was surprised.    

He couldn't help but exclaim, "His Majesty can actually think of this. It really makes the peasants exclaim. But His Majesty is worrying too much."    

"What worrying too much?"    

"The civilians will no longer use gold coins to exchange for copper coins."    

"Why? It's clearly a good deal."    

"A good deal?"    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "After a few copper coins disturbances, Your Majesty, what is the current situation with copper coins? Copper coins were still copper coins, but how could the purchase be compared to the past? Copper coins were only money, after all, it had to be changed into something else. Take rice as an example, just a few months ago. Two big bucks could buy a kilogram of rice, but what about now? It required nearly ten big bucks to buy it! They still didn't know what would happen in the future. If they exchanged one or two gold coins for three hundred yuan, in the end, they realized that buying things wasn't as good as using 100 yuan, do you think they would exchange for it? On the other hand, gold coins were things that could be bought with one or two gold coins. But now, they could buy even more! Gold coins had risen and copper coins had depreciated. Who would use something that had risen in value? Go! Exchange for something that has depreciated?"    

"This..."    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he sighed and nodded. "It seems to make sense."    

Xiao Yun said, "This is the first step. No one uses copper coins anymore. The grasslanders took it back and immediately used it for construction. They immediately spent it. The copper coin turned around and was replaced with gold coins. And every time it was exchanged, it would depreciate. The peasant earned the difference in price. This extra money is going to be used to build those Gold Hidden Pavilion."    

"Isn't this a scam? If that's the case, won't all those who work for you and sell your building materials be cheated by you?"    

"If we look at them, it's like this."    

"Hmph! You still say you haven't done anything bad? "    

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing for the entire Great Qin Country!"    

"What's good about it?"    

His majesty sits down once again and pats the table forcefully before saying in a deep voice, "If you do not come up with an explanation today, Zhen will punish you on the spot!"
