Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

To be honest, apart from this place that he liked, this dinner was the thing that he hated the most.    

It was a social gathering.    

They had to achieve as much value as possible on the table.    

This was very troublesome.    

It was troublesome no matter how he thought about it.    

Before entering, he was unhappy.    

But after entering, he was overjoyed.    

Because the people of Drunken Immortal Restaurant were too good at reading people's expressions and taking care of them.    

Very quickly, Xiao Yun's resentment was eliminated.    

Then, he happily walked in.    

Who would have thought that any one of these old fellows would be his grandfather's generation? They would actually leave him a seat of honor?    

Qiao'er also timely whispered into Xiao Yun's ear, "The adults have already waited for four hours."    

Xiao Yun looked at Qiao'er, then asked Prime Minister Qiu, "Why... why did she come back? Do you need money to sell her? "    

This was not a joke, and it was not suitable.    

Prime Minister Qiu, however, did not care. He smiled and said," How could I? Wasn't it because I was afraid that you would not have any acquaintances here, so I asked her to come over?"    

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Pavilion Elder."    

Xiao Yun bowed.    

He turned to look at Qiao'er.    

They had met once before, but compared to now... they were much thinner.    

The spirituality between her eyebrows had also decreased a little.    

On the contrary, there was a trace of gloominess.    

Xiao Yun sighed.    

Prime Minister Qiu was not a bad person.    

However, he was also a person of this world. He abided by the rules of this world and had their own bad habits.    

Take Qiao'er for example. To Xiao Yun, who had a different view of the world, it seemed like Prime Minister Qiu had done something wrong.    

However, in Prime Minister Qiu's eyes, it was a very normal thing.    

Everyone would even talk about it enthusiastically.    

This was something that even Xiao Yun was helpless about.    

He could change a person or something, but he could not change the entire world.    

Xiao Yun wasn't that arrogant.    

He sighed again and went to the main seat.    

Everyone stood up and bowed.    

He had given them enough face.    

Xiao Yun cupped his hands and gestured to them one by one.    

Then he smiled and said, "It's rare for everyone to be free, and it's even rarer for you to think of me at this moment. Being invited by all of you, I really don't deserve it."    

"No, no, no!"    

Everyone cupped their hands together in succession to show their support.    

After that, the guests took their seats.    

Xiao Yun looked at the crowd. Most of them were new faces.    

As if they knew he didn't like socializing, Prime Minister Qiu and the others didn't introduce him.    

Instead, they introduced the delicacies on the table.    

One by one, they introduced him.    

Finally, he added, "I think a few of these delicacies are not unfamiliar to Young Master Xiao, right?"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "They look like the dishes of Xiao family's restaurant."    

"Hahaha, it seems like I really can't hide it from Young Master Xiao."    

Prime Minister Qiu said with a smile, "This is indeed the style of Xiao family's restaurant, but it's not an imitation. It was specially customized from the Xiao family's restaurant, and was sent over on a fast horse. The current Xiao family is truly formidable. Who would be able to obtain it? The Xiao family, who was born as a general, could actually make the most delicious food in the world? This is truly rare."    

Xiao Yun smiled and said," Saint Yun, the nature of food and sex is the most primitive pursuit of people. I'm afraid that it will never change. Today, the delicious food of the Xiao family will be placed in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. In Only then will it be perfect! "    

Some of the questions were not answered.    

However, everyone knew what it meant.    

Everyone knew why Prime Minister Qiu had brought delicious food for the opening ceremony.    

This was actually to say that Xiao Yun had stretched his hand a little too long!    

"Recently, I heard that Young Master Xiao is building large buildings?"    

Prime Minister Qiu smiled lightly.    

Xiao Yun shrugged. "Didn't everyone hear it when we were in the court? If the potato is presented to His Majesty, then we can't take it for free, right? If we get a place that is despised and forgotten by others, others might feel that we are at a loss. But I think I earned it."    

" Oh? The reconstruction of South City is a huge project. I wonder where this money came from?"    

"So it's this."    

Xiao Yun let out a laugh.    

No wonder it was so grand today.    

It turned out that he felt that Xiao Yun had touched something he shouldn't have!    

Xiao Yun touched his nose, then smiled and said, "After the Gold Hidden Pavilion caused such a ruckus during this period of time, you guys have understood some of its operating principles. Not bad, not bad, it's better than what I imagined."    

Prime Minister Qiu said awkwardly, "Gold will go in and gold notes will come out. Gold will be used as insurance and His Majesty will be the guarantor. 100 types of goods will be the guarantor. Gold Hidden Pavilion will be the node and all the businesses will be the line-up. This will allow gold notes to be popular in this world. "    

"En, this understanding is not bad."    

"But the source of gold coins is gold after all. There are only a few gold coins, but you have recently spread all over the world. The amount of gold coins... I'm afraid that it has already surpassed gold, right?"    

"Yes, it has long surpassed gold."    

"This..."    

This sentence caused everyone present to be stunned!    

They originally thought that they had discovered a huge mistake on Xiao Yun's part.    

The reason why they had agreed to meet here today was because they did not want to get into a formal occasion.    

They just wanted everyone to think of a way to resolve this matter privately. It would be better than nothing if nothing went wrong.    

They originally thought that Xiao Yun would definitely deny it.    

No, he definitely would!    

That was why they prepared all kinds of evidence.    

There was also a righteous excuse.    

In the end, Xiao Yun's sentence of "yes" had caused all of their previous preparations to go down the drain.    

Even the beautiful words were stuck in his throat and he was unable to say them out loud. It was especially uncomfortable!    

After that, they all stared at Xiao Yun with wide eyes.    

Waiting for his next words.    

Xiao Yun curled his lips and sighed.    

He said, "Sure enough, although you guys understand a little, you can only see the surface and the deeper level of things... It's not that easy to understand."    

He waved his hand helplessly and let Qiao'er pour him a cup of wine. What happened?    

Then he said, "Why did the gold bills come out? What kind of problem did they have to solve? Did they solve it? What kind of problem would there be in the future? What kind of hidden danger would there be... Have you considered all these problems? I saw a place that you couldn't understand, and then I opened my mouth. You slapped your thighs and thought, in your hearts, I'm afraid I've already become a swindler, right?"    

" How... How could that be? We treat you as one of us. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here today, right? "    

Prime Minister Qiu quickly tried to smooth things over.    

As for the others, they furrowed their brows and seriously thought about the questions that Xiao Yun had raised.    

This... was very troublesome.    

Because as long as they thought about it, they felt as if there was a lump of numbness in their heads, and it immediately coiled up together.    

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make sense of it.    

Prime Minister Lee stood up.    

He raised his glass and cupped his hands, then drank it all in one gulp.    

Then he said, "I vaguely feel that Young Master Xiao's actions must have a deeper meaning, but I can't figure it out even if I think about it. Please enlighten us, Young Master Xiao. If not for that, we really can't think that gold coins are safe. "    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "It makes sense. It's normal for you all to have doubts, but this is also the difference between you and His Majesty. He doesn't understand, but do you see that he is suspicious?"    

"This..."    

Everyone looked at each other.    

Xiao Yun sighed.    

Then he said, "First of all, there was a problem with the copper coins. Zhao Wuji, that old thing, made two mistakes in a row, and almost caused the Qin Country to be eternally doomed. That's why I made the gold bills and used a piece of paper with a very low cost. Replacing the expensive copper coins, it also saves the risk of gold circulating in the market. And most importantly, the reason gold could not become the most mainstream currency... One reason was because it was not enough, but because it was very easy to fake. Deducting the button, not accurately determining whether the weight would be scratched or not. These are all problems, so gold is very difficult to become a currency. "    

Everyone looked at each other.    

Although Xiao Yun did not say much.    

There were too many things to think about inside!    

They needed some time to digest this information.    

But obviously Xiao Yun would not give them this time.    

"But gold notes are different. Gold notes can be issued in excess, and the amount is too much. Is it very dangerous? No, it doesn't matter! His Majesty's reputation is not money? The guarantee of gold is not money? The goods in Xiao family's workshop are not money? There is also the future of Xiao family and the future of Qin Country. Is this not money? As long as it was used as money, money could be given to the entire Xiao family. The royal family, and even the entire Qin Country would endorse it. This... was the currency of the nation! What's the difference between this and the copper coins from before? Why can it be used as money, why can't it be used as dirt? Stones can't be used? Since copper can be used, why can't gold and silver be used?"
