Sure enough, what your majesty wants to know most is this matter.


    It was a riddle. He thought it was a contest between himself and Xiao Yun.


    If you can untie it, your majesty thinks he has defeated Xiao Yun.


    But after nearly a month''s effort... He gave up!


    Moreover, Xiao Yun, the guy who had just rested for such a long time, didn''t say he came to find himself, which made his majesty feel "neglected".


    So I couldn''t bear it. I let the eunuch come.


    Xiao Yun smiled and said, "can''t you let me sell it?"


    "Your Majesty can''t help it. I''m a little stunned these days. When I''m free, I stand in front of the magic jade and sometimes I don''t know what I''m talking about, which frightened the imperial concubine."


    Xiao Yun laughed and said, "I didn''t expect your majesty to be so competitive."


    The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "you know, don''t you just want your majesty to win or lose? Well, it''s almost a month. It''s time to say."


    Xiao Yun said, "how boring it is to talk about it? It''s not good at all. This is a very important thing for the state of Qin. It won''t be effective until many years later. Now I always feel a little bad when I say it."


    The eunuch smiled and said, "just ask. Say it. What do you want?"


    "I heard that there is a foundry in the palace, which has the best equipment."


    "Young master Xiao wants to borrow it?"


    "No, I want the foundry."


    "Ah? You mean, move here?"


    "That''s right."


    "This..."


    The eunuch rolled his eyes.


    The foundry is one of his Majesty''s few good things. He is very proud of it on weekdays. Now Xiao Yun even wants to move it away, which is a little too much.


    He couldn''t help asking, "who did you hear that your majesty has such a secret room workshop?"


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "there''s no airtight wall. I''ve always wanted to find one before. Unfortunately, people have traveled all over the capital, and I haven''t found one I''m satisfied with. Finally, through some secret news, I know that there''s another one in your majesty. I can''t say. I always have to find a way to get what I like."


    The eunuch twitched from the corners of his eyes and thought, "you know, it''s like being remembered by a thief"!


    Then he sighed and said, "it also depends on your Majesty''s decision. If your statement is really effective, your majesty should agree."


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "well, it depends on your Majesty''s conscience."


    "Young master Xiao, keep quiet! I find that you really dare to say anything."


    The eunuch was startled, with a bitter face and some pleading.


    Xiao Yun brushed his lips and said, "let''s talk about this now. Let me ask you, what''s the reserve of magic jade? Is it easy to mine?"


    "Naturally, it''s very difficult. Precious jade is buried deep in the mountains! It takes a lot of people a long time to get it."


    Xiao Yun nodded and asked, "what''s the area? Is it only in one place or in a large area?"


    "The scope is quite wide. There are two mountains. The place outside is unknown now."


    "What''s the area of the sun moon country?"


    "Nature is the biggest!"


    "What is the difference in national strength between us and the sun moon country?"


    "Nature is more than several times."


    Xiao Yun nodded again and said, "this is it, so we can only hide from the sun and moon country now. It''s a kind of forbearance, but one day, as long as the Qin Dynasty is still there, as long as the sun and moon country is still there, there will be a moment of conflict, right?"


    "Between countries, which can always be safe?"


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "that''s it. In other words, we have to deal with it, but now we don''t have the strength to deal with it. What can we do at this time?"


    The eunuch was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he didn''t think of what the state of Qin could do now. He had to shake his head reluctantly.


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "in fact, there are some things we can do, such as nibbling."


    "Nibble?"


    "Yes, since we can''t deal with it head-on, we can use other ways to slowly weaken the national strength of the sun moon country, and we will become stronger and stronger. With one ebb and flow, we can catch up with it, can''t we?"


    "That''s right, but how can it erode it?"


    "There are many methods, and there is one in front of me, which is the magic jade."


    "Magic jade? Can it erode the sun and moon country?"


    The eunuch was more confused and said, "you made your majesty like magic jade, so the people followed suit and scrambled to buy it. At that time, not only can we not eat it, but we will send a lot of money to the past."


    Xiao Yun smiled and said, "yes, giving money is also a way to nibble."


    "This... What is this fallacy?"


    The eunuch rolled his eyes.


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "what''s the primary goal of nibbling? Naturally, it''s self-protection! Hide yourself so that the other party won''t treat us as enemies or even friends, so that the other party can''t easily find our little moves behind us."


    "So... It seems reasonable. If we buy a lot of magic jade from them and become their big customers, they will naturally think we are very friendly."


    Xiao Yun nodded heavily, Then continue: "But in fact, we don''t lose so much when we buy magic jade! What do we buy? It must be treasures and copper coins, but copper coins don''t represent real national strength. As long as we don''t exchange food, land or resources, we don''t lose a lot. Instead, we spend a lot of copper coins on magic jade. We have more goods and less money, which will make copper coins more powerful Add value or maintain value, no matter which one, as long as we carefully regulate and control, there is really no big loss. "


    "This..."


    The eunuch frowned and couldn''t turn around.


    Xiao Yun sighed. Things about the economy are too complicated. Now it seems impossible for the eunuch to understand at once.


    Just skip it.


    He continued: "as for the exploitation of magic jade by the sun and moon Kingdom, on the surface, it seems that they are doing a business without capital. Digging magic jade out of the mountain is like digging gold and silver treasures. They can directly exchange a lot of money. On the surface, they make a lot of money!"


    "Yes, I really envy that there will be magic jade in their land, which is more greedy than copper and gold mines!"


    "But in fact, they lost."


    "Ah?"


    The eunuch looked stunned and thought Xiao Yun must be crazy.


    Xiao Yun said with a smile: "Don''t worry, you walk slowly along my train of thought. Do you think that the mining of magic jade can really bring benefits without harm? Wrong! Wrong! The harm is still great! First, the mined mountain forest disappears. A mountain forms a mountain forest, which produces trees, meat, fur, nuts, herbs and various resources. As long as you operate carefully, you can even take them inexhaustible, because of the formation of this forest I don''t know how many years it will take! Mining minerals and directly digging mountains will disappear in an instant, and the mountains and forests formed in tens of thousands or even millions of years will disappear. "


    "This!"


    The eunuch was surprised.


    He never thought about it!


    Xiao Yun continued: "Land is the most important resource, because there are fewer people and more land in Daqin, so you don''t have much concept of land, but in fact, if all the land in Daqin becomes farmland and grows food, the number is not unlimited. On the contrary, it is a limited number. It can also support a fixed number of people, When one day our people in the state of Daqin exceed this limit, no matter how hard people try, there will still be hungry! "


    The eunuch thought for a while, nodded for a while and said, "indeed."


    "Moreover, if too many forests are turned into cultivated land, the mud flood after the earthquake will often appear. Places with too much cultivated land and too few forests will often cause disasters."


    The eunuch was stunned again. He recalled the disasters he had heard, as if... Many were in such places!


    Xiao Yun continued: "so the exploitation of magic jade by the sun and moon Kingdom actually destroyed their rare mountains and forests and their most precious land. It was only a short-term prosperity at the cost of destroying the natural environment."


    "So it is!"


    "This is just one of the disadvantages."


    "Ah? What else?"
