"Why are you notifying us?" Liu Ye, who had learned about Chen Zhen's news, also rushed over, just in time to hear Fazheng's words, so he took up the conversation with a smile and asked back.

"At least be clear!" Fazheng said resentfully, "By the way, I'm getting married soon, are your gifts ready?"

"Two bottles of self-brewed wine were ready when I accepted you as my junior." Guo Jia answered smoothly.

"You're so stingy." Fazheng glanced at Guo Jia contemptuously. In fact, he was quite satisfied. Although Guo Jia's self-brewed wine is not good, at least the friendship is enough!

"Then how about I give you a pair of golden suanni?" Guo Jia curled his lips, and his style dropped a lot.

"So stingy." Fazheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia with extreme displeasure.

"Okay, stop bickering, guess what Zichuan wants to announce at the end of the year?" Liu Ye brought back the topic that Fazheng had distorted.

"Don't worry about it. In terms of general government affairs, although - no - wrong - I don't want to admit it, but no one can deny that he has an extremely long-term vision in government affairs." Li You directly curbed this topic.

Li You didn't want to be aroused by curiosity, after all, if he was really interested, he would ask, but he would tell Chen Xi as long as he asked.

Based on Li You's understanding of Chen Xi, there is a high possibility that he will conflict with his cognition in the future, and then the previous incident where a group of people disagree, and finally Chen Xi knocks them all down is really too disharmonious .

"I think we don't need to worry about government affairs. We can just do our own thing well. Zichuan will solve Zichuan's affairs by himself." Lu Su directly cut off the bud. He didn't want the embarrassing thing like last time to happen again.

Unlike Liu Ye and Chen Xi who had directly clashed in secret, the others were at best watching from the sidelines. It didn't end directly, as for Liu Ye, although he didn't end that time. But it has fueled the flames, and that's the difference.

"I'm really just curious..." Liu Ye said helplessly.

"What are you curious about..." Chen Xi didn't hear the previous words, stepped into the door and heard Liu Ye's curiosity, so he asked back.

"I'm curious about what political strategy you want to release at the end of the year." Liu Ye hurriedly said, but Lu Su didn't stop him, and looked at Chen Xi, and the others were also curious.

"What's wrong with minting coins and special drawing rights?" Chen Xi answered casually.

When Chen Zhen sent a letter to Taishan, he also sent someone to notify all the senior officials in Yecheng, but the generals had already gone to various places in Jizhou to clean up the bandits, and Liu Bei went out for a stroll, so naturally Chen Xi was the last one to arrive.

As for Xu Shu. He also has good martial arts skills, and he brought 500 people to suppress the bandits.

"Coining?" Everyone's face turned black, how much they wanted to scold people, in the Han Dynasty you had to mint a standard five baht coin, and the cost of casting six to seven million coins was 10 million, and the general country was not strong enough to a certain level , resolutely do not do such things as casting money.

"Well, it's really time for us to mint money." Li You said slowly after thinking for a moment, and Jizhou also has copper mines. It is indeed time to mint some coins to prove your strength.

However, Li You ignored the special drawing right in one sentence, and the others only paid attention to the minting of coins, and did not think about other things. On the contrary, it made Chen Xi talk a lot less nonsense.

"Well, what level of money is minted?" Lu Su asked with a sigh.

It is inevitable to mint money, and when the power develops to a certain level, it will definitely be minted. In order to improve the people's recognition of this force, but making money means losing money. A loss of about 40% is enough to be entangled just thinking about it.

"Five baht!" Chen Xi said proudly. The five baht coins minted at the peak of the Han Dynasty were highly recognized and could still be used until the Tang Dynasty. This is the advantage of heavy money!

"The cost is too high, and if you mint five baht coins, everyone in the world will use them. We can't make enough." Jia Xu covered his face and said, five baht coins are not fake, even if the text on them is blurred False, the money only depends on weight.

"It's for people all over the world." Chen Xi pouted and said, "I'll know when I look back, and I don't know how Xingba is preparing now. It took a lot of time without the chart for the first time. After that Probably not."

In fact, Chen Xi didn't know that Gan Ning knew that it was a strategically important place after returning to Luzon Island for the first time. After Guan Hai went to Yizhou, Gan Ning asked him to use Qiongzhou as a springboard to go back and forth between Luzon and Yizhou. Collect copper ore.

A large amount of copper ore was smelted into bronze nuggets in Luzon Island, and then escorted by Guan Hai to Yizhou for storage. After more than a dozen round trips, Yizhou has already deposited thousands of tons of small copper nuggets.

Think about eight tons of copper per cubic meter, and because bronze has a higher density of tin and lead, in fact, thousands of tons of bronze blocks are melted together, and the length, width and height are less than ten meters...

However, these are also the main materials used by Chen Xi to cast money in the future. Anyway, they are not his own things, and Chen Xi is not afraid of wasting them. After all, compared with bronze smelting and casting, China seems to have always been at the pinnacle of history.

As for those Gan Ning soldiers who stayed in Luzon back then, they have now realized that they are very indifferent to money. Anyone who looks at the money under their feet every day does not know whether it is tens of billions or hundreds of billions of money. It will take a long time. If you lose money, you will lose motivation. There is no place to buy things in this ghost place, and it is useless to take copper.

Although Chen Xi didn't know that the copper for making money was ready, but he knew that he had an island that produced a lot of copper for him to squander, so making money was a must.

However, before starting to mint money, Chen Xi needs to fix the value of the coin, which can appreciate and depreciate, but absolutely cannot let the aristocratic family have the final say. For those guys who don't even understand the laws of economics, the currency must be calculated by the official!

"Casting this, we lost a lot. 10 million yuan of copper can only be casted for 6.5 million yuan. This is still the cost of large-scale manufacturing in the country. In our case, even if we have done research in this area, I'm afraid it's just that. There are too many." Liu Ye said helplessly, and did not stop Chen Xi, after all, it was time to mint money.

"So we need to find all the aristocratic families. We need to define the value of each five baht coin, fix the market price, and maintain the stability of some material things." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The prices of daily necessities such as food, salt, and cloth must be within In our control, this is related to long-term stability."

"Rich and poor can't be eliminated, all we have to do is make sure that the poorest have at least something to eat and clothes to wear, and as long as we can do that, no, as long as we can roughly do that, our system is invulnerable Yes." Chen Xi swept across the crowd and said with a smile on his face.

Although this is not entirely true, before some awareness of rights and interests is not awakened, this system can maintain long-term stability for at least five hundred years according to Chen Xi's estimation! (to be continued...)
