Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

For Chen Xi, Liu Bei has always been generous, and he will notice many details that he doesn't pay much attention to, and this kind of details, for a general like Gan Ning who guards his stupidity and hides his clumsiness, is an expression of kindness.

Gan Ning showed up at Chen Xi's house one after another. Simply put, he didn't go through the right door. However, his behavior is generally not annoying.

"Chen Hou, I'm back!" Gan Ning appeared directly in Chen Xi's main hall like a black shadow, and then said loudly, it was because he saw the light that he acted like this.

"What is this?" Gan Ning asked casually looking at the map that Chen Xi was rolling up.

Chen Xi sometimes feels that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. The map drawn by the white silk is easy to open, but it is very difficult to roll it up without wrinkles. After Jia Xu and others left, Chen Xi went back and forth. Rolled the map, but every time it wrinkled and had to be rerolled at the end.

This almost mentally ill behavior made Han Qiong a little uncomfortable, but he didn't stop Chen Xi's behavior.

"Map." Chen Xi was startled when he heard the voice. When he saw that it was Gan Ning, it was too late to roll it up. If he continued to roll it up, it would make Gan Ning, who looks vulgar but actually careful, pay attention. stand up.

"Oh." Gan Ning didn't ask too much, just glanced at it casually, and didn't care, after all, that part of the Central Plains has been rolled up.

It is also thanks to Chen Xi who put the Central Plains in his hand when he drew the map. If he put it in the middle, it is estimated that Gan Ning saw the trace of the Yangtze River. Even if he didn’t realize it at first, he would understand later. Ning has traveled all over the place, which used to belong to his sphere of influence.

"What's the matter." Chen Xi casually let go of the map that was being rolled, and asked calmly, "Could it be that the copper has been transported back?"

"Copper worth 1.5 billion yuan has been escorted back. On Luzon Island, we have built a large number of mines, which have been put into operation now, and the output will increase a lot in the future." Gan Ning described the current situation in Luzon Island. . It made Chen Xi feel at ease a lot.

It is impossible to raise so many prisoners of Cao Cao at the beginning. After all, there are tens of thousands of strong laborers. Some of them are working in Yizhou, and the other part are transferred to Luzon to mine. After all, even if there are a small number of native tribes there, the population density is extremely low.

After these people are filled, the mine can be regarded as opened. For this reason, Chen Xi also transferred some artisans to Luzon and Yizhou. After all, there will exist as a material transfer point and a bridgehead. quite an important strategic point.

"Copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is not bad. The Han Dynasty only made a few hundred million yuan a year, which is enough as a guarantee." Chen Xi nodded,

The annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty was 30 billion renminbi, equivalent to 300 million gold, but not much money was actually minted, and copper worth 1.5 billion renminbi was enough as a guarantee. If it was really made into money, Chen Xi It's really not worth so much money. It's more valuable as a guarantee.

To be honest, Chen Xi originally wanted to set up a gold standard and then issue credit currency, but this era does not have this foundation, and Chen Xi does not dare to be too messy, first use copper as a deposit, and wait until there is enough copper to destroy the entire system. Then use gold as a security deposit.

Before that, Chen Xi felt that he might need to work harder and use himself as a credential. This copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is actually just another guarantee. I only use myself as a proof, in case I miss it! Get some dead money. In case of an accident, it can still go up, and copper, as a hard currency, is enough to solve the problem.

In fact, there was one other thing that could be used as hard currency, and that was salt, but unfortunately, Chen Xi was about to stabilize the price of salt. Completely destroy the salt price of 300 yuan a stone, which is twice as expensive as polished rice. This is the price after Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping adjusted the salt price. What a hell!

Although the salt tax has always existed in the national taxation as a very important item, but now because of the large-scale production, the cost of the refined salt has been suppressed to a few dollars, and the profit is nearly 100 times that of selling it abruptly. Chen Xi feels that if the price is not adjusted. , I really can't stand it anymore.

One hundred renminbi is Chen Xi's bottom line. It can be tolerated to be higher than the price of food, but you can't be too high, but if you really want to lower the price of salt to ten renminbi, unless Chen Xi uses force to guarantee and completely unify it, otherwise this daily necessities Being monopolized by others, it will really kill the price to rise.

As for using grain as a guarantee, it is actually possible. This thing is also a hard currency, but the biggest problem with this thing is that the grain of the same weight is larger than copper, and it is difficult to transport, and there is still a problem with the preservation of grain, so it is quite unsatisfactory. Reliable.

"You escort those copper ingots to the Zhen's courtyard that was vacated that time, and send someone to look after them. Anyway, it's not so easy to take them away, so remember to pile them up properly." Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xi's mind. After returning to his senses, he ordered Gan Ning, these things are mainly used to enlighten other aristocratic families.

"Here!" Gan Ning clasped his fists in a salute, then hesitated for a while before asking, "Then I'll go and transport the copper ingots there. I just want to ask, why hasn't the bank been laid out yet? What happened?"

"Actually, it's not too important. I'll send people to Yizhou, Yangzhou, and Yongzhou to discuss with those few people about the distribution of goods by the bank." Chen Xi said calmly.

It is not certain whether Cao Cao and Sun Ce can agree to the reasons given by Chen Xi.

But it’s nothing, after all, it’s just a test. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce disagree, things similar to the bank in private will spring up like mushrooms after the spring rain after the aristocratic family realizes the convenience of the bank. After this proposal, , Cao Cao and Sun Ce will inevitably have to do it.

It's just that the recognition of the bank established with the reputation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce is the biggest problem. In the end, it is inevitable that the family will form a group to establish a bank named Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

At that time, as soon as the two banks contact each other, Chen Xi, who is the body of the credit certificate, will be able to turn the banks named by the Cao and Sun families into his next home in seconds. This kind of thing can't be stopped at all.

At that time, it is estimated that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will either directly push the bank by force, or they can only recognize it by pinching their noses, and then spend a lot of manpower and material resources to monitor the bank that does nothing else.

After all, unlike Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce still have no way to leave the aristocratic family. If they really want to forcibly overthrow the bank of the aristocratic group, it is estimated that it will not be far before the two parties finish playing together. Chen Xi is just saying hello in advance. (~^~)
