Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Zhao Wuji sneered and looked at the official standing at the bottom, his mind spinning rapidly.    

The official was originally in charge of the national treasury, although his name was a department head. He was still cautious every day. They were afraid and guarded the treasures of the world, but they could not move at all. It was considered the most splendid and splendid office in Qingshui City, and it was extremely painful.    

This man... Lord Xue laughed bitterly and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Grand Preceptor, this is what we do. The gold in His Majesty's treasury. There's only so much. Before all of it was pulled away, it was also counted. During the delivery process, we counted again, not to mention one jin or two taels. There was not even an error of one yuan. After the gold was pulled to the depository, the official paid close attention to it. He also sent people to investigate the current hairstyle of the gold bills. Logically speaking, it was one gold coin or two gold coins, which were all compared to each other. However, the amount of gold banknotes right now far exceeds gold! Furthermore, it's not twice as much as gold. "    

" How much is that? "    

Zhao Wuji's eyes immediately lit up.    

Master Xue gritted his teeth and confirmed, "More than ten times!"    

"Ha!"    

Zhao Wuji sneered and said, "This Xiao Yun, how dare he! What did he want to do? When he made this gold coin, it was not just one gold coin or one gold coin. In order to exchange for gold bills, he had to use real gold and silver, a lot of copper coins. Similarly, people could also casually use gold notes to take out real gold. The promise was that both the old and the young were honest. But now? He made so many gold notes, if everyone exchanged them together, after the gold was exchanged, there were still more than 90% of the gold notes outside. What did he use to exchange for other people? If he could not exchange for it, what would he do? He is going to wreak havoc in the Great Qin, causing the entire Great Qin to fall into an irrecoverable quagmire!"    

Speaking up to this point, he was stunned.    

Then, he lowered his head, frowned, and fiddled with his fingers as he calculated.    

"Recently this kid... Something's not right..."    

"Grand Preceptor, this is... What's wrong?"    

Lord Xue asked nervously in a low voice.    

Zhao Wuji's eyes twitched a few times before he slammed the table. He shouted loudly, "That's not right! That's not right! How many gold bills did he issue? More than ten times more than all of His Majesty's gold? Then... How many copper coins did he take from the Great Qin? "    

" This... is naturally a lot. According to the rules of the depository of scriptures, bronze coins can be exchanged for gold coins, but copper coins are now worthless. Therefore, the price has also increased. Presumably, the value of these copper coins is... It was probably inestimable... Uh..."    

Speaking up to this point, Lord Xue was also stunned.    

Then, he raised his head in a daze and looked at Zhao Wuji in astonishment.    

The two of them looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes!    

That's right.    

Something had become huge. When placed in front of people, their first reaction was usually fear.    

And the "huge" in front of them was the amount of money!    

They immediately understood.    

Xiao Yun didn't just casually throw out the gold bills.    

He didn't throw them all over the sky and let the civilians pick them up.    

They were all exchanged from different places, from influential people to ordinary people, using copper coins or gold to exchange for them bit by bit!    

In fact, gold was not hard currency in most places in Great Qin Country. If one wanted to use it to exchange for something, one could. However, if one maintained a reasonable price to buy and sell things. To put it simply, it was not possible to use it as a currency.    

But gold coins are different!    

This thing could buy anything, and it was even better than copper coins.    

Then whose family would store gold? Hurry up and exchange it for gold coins.    

Gold notes were money, not gold!    

In other words, the amount of gold and copper coins that were issued would be equal to the amount of gold and copper coins Xiao Yun would receive.    

His Majesty's gold reserves were more than ten times...    

What a huge sum of money would that be?!    

That's right, they would usually subconsciously ignore a problem.    

That was His Majesty's gold reserves!    

Gold was not a currency. It was a type of commodity, or rather, a luxury item. It was like pearls and agates. It was very valuable, but not money.    

It could be made into jewelry, or furniture.    

Its greatest use was to reward the Minister.    

The same went for the rewards from the Imperial Court.    

The first prize was gold. Because it could be used to forge jewelry and furniture, it greatly increased the quality of life.    

It was subgraded to brocade cloth, high-quality satin, hundreds of officials, or officials who had performed meritorious deeds. It could be used to make clothes, bedding, etc., whether the people in the world had money or not. Other than eating, drinking, and sprinkling, it all depends on the clothes, and what His Majesty bestowed is the best. It was also the most honorable thing to wear it out, and it was also the most respected thing in the world. He would be wearing extremely good clothes, and he could even be used as a pass.    

Once again, it was money and food.    

The main thing was that the copper coins and rice were directly transported to the hero's home in a large cart. They could change into any kind of chicken, fish, or egg they wanted.    

Therefore, the mining of gold actually did not become a very large scale, and most of the gold that was mined was returned to the national treasury.    

As for the people, it was the mining of private mines, and it was also rewarded by the royal family for thousands of years.    

In other words, His Majesty really had a lot of gold...    

In this way, the money Xiao Yun exchanged for was really too much!    

It was so much that it was unimaginable!    

After the two people were shocked, they hurriedly sent people to investigate everywhere, mainly to find out the proportion.    

After three days of calculations, the result they obtained... was terrifying.    

With just gold coins, Xiao Yun had actually exchanged for 40% of the wealth of the entire Great Qin Country!    

This kind of wealth was not the kind of "GDP" Xiao Yun had in his previous life. It was just the amount of money he earned in a year.    

And the wealth at this time was the accumulated wealth of all the people in the Great Qin Country for thousands of years!    

In Great Qin Country, the income of ordinary people was four cents a year, and the expenditure was about three cents. If it was GDP, then it would be this person who created the seven dollar GDP.    

But in reality, that was not how it was calculated. The food they ate. Most of it was planted by themselves, and it was worth 8 yuan. They planted it themselves. They ate it themselves, handmade clothes, including grass shoes, mountain vegetables, and so on. The women had been busy for a year and had at least gotten seven yuan. But these things were also for his own use.    

The men were farming and the women were self-sufficient.    

So if it was just the GDP of this person, it would be seven cents. But if it was his wealth... the inheritance of the elder, his many years of hard work, marriage and betrothal gifts, and funerals... Including all of them, it would be more than two hundred!    

And the wealth that Xiao Yun collected was not forty percent of the seven points, but forty percent of the two hundred points!    

This money was so huge that even His Majesty would go crazy if he saw it!    

Zhao Wuji absolutely could not watch Xiao Yun get such a large sum of money with his own eyes.    

Money often represented power.    

If Xiao Yun did something big, how could he take revenge?    

Now, the two of them could be considered as sworn enemies. There was no way to get rid of them, and there was no way to get rid of them.    

Between the two of them, or in other words, between the two families, one of them had to disappear!    

However, Zhao Wuji also knew that he couldn't tell His Majesty about the disappearance of Xiao Yun, who had so much money. After all, if His Majesty knew about it, he would immediately go to Xiao Yun's side, and he wouldn't have any chance of winning.    

After thinking about it, what should he do? He still thought of a way.    

Reveal him!    

Thus, the next day, the streets and alleys were filled with news about the gold bills.    

There were rumors that the gold notes were a huge scam. There was not that much gold at all. If one wanted to exchange for it, they would not be able to exchange for the same amount of gold. In fact, they would not even be able to exchange for it!    

Once this matter was exposed, the entire Great Qin Country was in chaos.    

When His Majesty heard the news, he was furious once again.    

Previously, because of the matter of the distribution of titles, the hundred officials' worries of slacking had been resolved, but Xiao Yun immediately made trouble for him again.    

How could His Majesty tolerate this? The first thing he wanted to do was to go to the Imperial Prison and teach him a lesson.    

When Wu Xi heard the news, he was also frightened.    

What he was most worried about had really happened!    

After a long sigh, he gritted his teeth and issued the order to continue distributing the gold notes. Then, he ran into the back room alone and stared blankly at a small bottle on the table.    

As long as there were government officials rushing in from outside the door, he would immediately eat the things inside the bottle.    

It was poison.    

It was for the sake of the dead!    

This way, Xiao Yun could be plucked clean.    

He would take responsibility for all the crimes he had committed.    

A man who lived past the ancient era was considered to have lived a fulfilling life. He had experienced everything in his life, and this life could be considered splendid.    

After letting out a long sigh of relief, Wu Xi suddenly laughed and said, "I have to do such a big thing in my life. Only then can I be satisfied!"
