Chapter 217

    His Majesty was silent.


    out of commission? Yes, if the money is in his hand, he must use it! The country needs money too much. Now the Treasury is empty.


    After thinking for a while, his majesty said, "can''t I find someone who is absolutely reliable and don''t touch it for a penny?"


    Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, does such a person really exist? But if there is such a person, he really doesn''t move a penny, but what does your majesty think will happen? This gold note will become a vampire of the imperial court like copper coins, and can''t achieve self-sufficiency."


    "What do you mean?"


    Xiao Yun sighed and said, "the present Cunjin mansion has not used a penny of the imperial court, has it?"


    "That''s not true."


    Your majesty originally wanted to say that his gold was there, but when you think about it carefully, those gold are still his own, so it can''t be regarded as paying.


    He nodded.


    Xiao Yun said, "but if the deposit house is now in the hands of the imperial court, how much does your majesty think it will cost?"


    "It costs money?"


    "Ha!"


    Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "there''s more money in it! If you can''t operate, the money will be much more than you think."


    "Then tell me where to spend money."


    "The first is the production of gold banknotes. Gold banknotes can''t be fake because the production process is extremely complex and the whole process is a secret. In order to keep this secret, grass people need to raise a whole family of craftsmen! This is only the most cost-effective part of the whole process."


    "And expenses?"


    "The most important thing is the construction of the Sutra Pavilion! The reason why the gold banknotes can be changed all day is that there are gold pavilions. If people want to change, there are places to change. The gold pavilions are not only spread all over Daozhou, but also go deep into all counties. How many counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty? How many stores should be built in every place, coupled with human and material resources? I''m afraid so Isn''t it cheaper than building government everywhere? "


    "This..."


    The cold sweat on your Majesty''s forehead.


    He can know how much the project costs with a little thought.


    Xiao Yun continued: "It''s not over yet. It''s like the original period, because apart from labor, it will be larger than the expenditure at the beginning. The really deadly ones are the copper coins! Your majesty, after reading this list, you naturally know how big the numbers written on it are. So... How can the money gathered from all directions be transported to the capital and put into deposit Fuzhong? Your majesty, have you calculated how much these will cost? And these expenses are continuous. Where there is more exchange, it needs to be transported back, and where there is more exchange, it needs to be transported. Your majesty, how much do you think it will cost to do so? "


    His Majesty was speechless for a long time, and finally said, "it should be a huge amount!"


    "Yes, it''s really big."


    Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and then said, "but the money exchanged for gold banknotes can''t be consumed, or reduced. What will your majesty do if you deposit the gold house in your Majesty''s hand?"


    "... naturally, some money is transferred from the Treasury to fill it."


    "Yes."


    Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile, "that is to say, your majesty, you have won the deposit house. Even if you find an official who won''t be greedy for a penny, you still need to spend a lot of financial and material resources to maintain its normal operation, right?"


    "It should be."


    Xiao Yun spread his hand again and said, "I dare ask your majesty, when did the grass people ask your majesty for money when they were working in the deposit house?"


    "This!"


    Your Majesty was startled.


    He immediately asked, "yes, why don''t you want money? Is it difficult that you have less money now?"


    "Of course not."


    "Then... How did you do it?"


    Xiao Yun sighed and said, "so the things here are very complicated. It''s not something that grass people can hand over to others."


    "You recruit from the truth!"


    "Er... How can the grass people look like criminals?"


    Xiao Yun said with a smile, "this thing needs to be done in three steps."


    "Three steps?"


    "The first step and the second step have been achieved, and the second step is still developing. As for the third step, it is already planned and began to be used tentatively."


    "What is the first step?"


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


    "Ah?"


    "Your Majesty, gold banknotes... Hey hey, what did you exchange for?"


    "Of course it''s gold. You made it clear earlier that gold brings trouble, so you use gold notes instead."


    "Your Majesty, what is the price of gold now? Is it more expensive or cheaper than before?"


    "Naturally, it''s expensive! After the new coin incident, the people have great distrust of copper coins. They all want to exchange copper coins for other things. Gold alone used to be one hundred through one or two, but now it has reached three hundred through one or two!"


    Xiao Yun nodded and said, "what do people use to change gold notes?"


    "Of course it''s gold, but you can exchange copper coins for gold in your gold Pavilion. However, you can change it into gold first, and then issue gold notes."


    "Yes, that''s right. Just because the price of gold has been rising all the time. Before, one hundred gold coins were exchanged for one or two gold coins. Now one or two gold coins are worth three hundred gold coins. That is to say, as long as he holds the gold notes, the number of copper coins he has has has tripled. In this way, who else wants to put the copper money in his hand and watch it become worthless and worthless? Don''t you change it into gold notes quickly?"


    Your majesty frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, he was surprised and immediately asked, "no! Before, the people exchanged 100 Guan for one or two gold notes. Now if they all exchange gold notes for copper coins, then... What do you give them 300 Guan?! this..."


    His majesty suddenly stood up and said in a harsh voice, "in this way, the copper coins of the whole Qin country are not completely insufficient


    Xiao Yun was surprised when he said so.


    He couldn''t help but exclaimed, "Your Majesty can think of this place. It''s really amazing to the grass people. But your majesty is too worried."


    "What worries?"


    "The people will no longer exchange gold notes for copper money."


    "Why? It''s very cost-effective."


    "Cost effective?"


    Xiao Yun said with a bitter smile: "After several copper coin disturbances, your majesty, what is the situation of copper coins now? Copper coins or copper coins, but where can they be compared with what they used to be? Copper coins are only money after all. They have to be changed into things and rice noodles. Take rice for example. Just a few months ago, two big money could buy a kilogram of rice, but now? It takes nearly ten big money to buy it! What will happen in the future I don''t know. If they exchange one or two gold notes for three hundred Guan, they find that shopping is not as easy as the previous one hundred Guan. Do you think they will change it? In contrast, gold notes, once one or two gold notes can buy things, but now they can buy more! Gold notes have appreciated and copper coins have depreciated. Who will exchange an appreciating thing for a depreciating thing? "


    "This..."


    His Majesty was stunned for a while and thought for a while. Then he sighed and nodded: "it seems to be such a truth."


    Xiao Yun said, "this is the first step. The copper coins are no longer used. The grass people take them back and immediately use them for construction and spend them immediately. The copper coins turn around and are replaced with gold notes. Each exchange will depreciate. The grass people earn the price difference. The extra money is about to be used to build those gold pavilions."


    "Isn''t this a lie? In this way, those who work for you and sell your building materials are all ruined by you?"


    "But look at them, it is."


    "Hum! You said you didn''t do anything bad?!"


    "Your Majesty, but this is a good thing for the whole Qin country!"


    "Where is it?"


    Your majesty sat down again, patted the table hard, and said in a deep voice, "if you can''t say why today, I will punish you on the spot!"
