The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Does this mean the above?" Feng Jie asked while looking at a security officer.

"Yes, when dealing with the issue of the State of Wei, the Prime Minister's Mansion meant that we should have more contact with people from the Wei government." said the security officer.

"When did our security department become a diplomat?" Feng Jie said while looking at the order.

"It is estimated that the prime minister's mansion is not easy to contact, or the right man cannot be found." The security officer explained tentatively.

"I see." Feng Jie said.

"It's enough to get in touch with Wei Guo." Feng Jie said.

"The other side is." Feng Jie said after putting down the order in his hand.

"Last time, you submitted that the South Korean side may be tapping our telegram. Has this matter been investigated?" Feng Jie asked at this time.

"This, sir, we are not clear enough, but we think that there should be such a possibility. At present, telegraph lines have been laid in South Korea. In South Korea, some telegrams have been laid in Wei, Qi and Yan also have telegrams. These telegraph lines are all intertwined. Telegrams also use clear codes to generate electricity, especially Qin standard codes. Some merchants can also use codes for encryption. However, the codes issued between government communications are very frequent, and many telegrams have content. It can be obtained by deciphering." The security officer said.

"En. In this case, our Qin country's telegram can also be known by the other party?" Feng Jie asked.

"Yes. After all, the telegram is public," the security officer said.

"When the transmitter sends a report, multiple receivers are acceptable. In this case, our transmission may be accepted by many places in South Korea, Zhao, and Yan. If they know the password, it may be Yes, our information will be leaked." The security officer said.

"En." Feng Jie nodded when he heard this. In this case, it would be very detrimental to Qin. If all the information is known by the other party, then the means of relying on communication will be greatly restricted. The other party knows what he thinks, so there is no secret.

"Can you be sure who is monitoring?" Feng Jie asked at this time.

"This. Not yet, because of technical limitations, we need that line to be used again. Also..." the security officer said.

"Okay. I see. Change all the passwords again. Don't use the past passwords. Use a different password, understand?" Feng Jie said.

"Yes, sir," the security officer said. Then Feng Jie let the other party go down. For this matter, it seems small, but the impact is very large. This should attract the attention of relevant personnel. Therefore, Feng Jie decided to take some actions immediately to strengthen his awareness in this regard. Feng Jie was engaged in intelligence work, and for intelligence, it was his primary duty to ensure that it was secret.

Zhao State of Handan.

"This Li Mu." An aristocratic master said impatiently.

"What kind of political party is formed, a large group of people gather and don't know what to discuss." The aristocratic master said impatiently.

"Master, I've inquired clearly about the young ones." At this time, the noble master's attendant came forward and said in a low voice.

"What is clear? Tell me." The noble master asked. He has never been interested in these things. The reason is that they are nobles, and nobles should listen to their opinions, earn more money, and spend it. Gather, what can you discuss.

"I heard that Master Shen and Master Zhao, they took the lead, gathered together, and formed a party." His attendant said.

"Puff." The noble master who had just sipped his tea immediately spit out the tea he had drunk.

"Turtle Party." The noble master said with his mouth full of tea and water.

"Lord, it's your party, and it's expensive for the nobles." The attendant said.

"Bah, baah," the noble master said while spitting out the tea leaves in his mouth at this time.

"Your party, I think his mother is the tortoise party." said the noble master.

"I don't participate in such a party. Let them play by themselves." The noble master feels disgusted when he hears such a party. He has received a letter that some noble masters want him to participate, but they hear such a name , He decided not to participate.

The streets of Handan.

"Hahaha. Hahaha." The cheerful laughter of Zhao people came from the street.

"Turtle Party, such a name makes people laugh so hard." Zhao Guoren laughed and couldn't help himself.

"Oh, oops, my stomach, the tortoise party, I didn't expect these noble masters to really name them, and there was a tortoise party." The other Zhao Guoren said with a smile.

"You said, it may not be the Tortoise Party, but that Party." Some Zhao people laughed in the street.

The nobles named the noble party because they originally thought that they would exist noble in everything, but in a way that they didn't expect, the people of the Zhao country actually gave them such a name.

At the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"These nobles took such a name. It's a laugh. Now the whole city of Handan is smiling like this." Li Zuoche said to Li Mu.

"Haha." Li Mu smiled.

"Now, the issue of banknotes should be brought up. If this issue cannot be resolved, I think the following things will be difficult." Li Mu said.

"The Prime Minister, is it too fast?" Li Zuoche said worriedly at this time.

"Hurry?" Li Mu asked.

"I don't think it's fast at all. Qin is ready now," Li Mu said.

"However, we were not prepared. Qin State had a lot of gold reserves, while Zhao State did not have it." Li Zuoche said.

"It's because Zhao Guo doesn't have such reserves, so Zhao Guo's current situation is not so good." Li Mu understood.

"Qin State is providing some conveniences for its own economic development, but we. We don't have such conveniences. Therefore, this matter is as soon as possible." Li Mu said.

"En. Prime Minister, Qin should be notified about this matter, so that Qin can be prepared." Li Zuoche proposed at this time.

"En. I think it can be." Li Mu thought for a while and wanted to say.

"I'll send the report." Li Zuoche said.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Now the political party system of the State of Zhao has been established. Although the upper and lower chambers have not been fully established, this matter is already on the agenda." Shang Wen said.

"The question is, how should this matter be brought up?" Shang Wen said.

"I suggest that the two governments should issue a joint statement, which can reduce some doubts." Meng Yi said. In handling this matter, Meng Yi tends to be cautious. The governments of the two countries need to spend a lot of time explaining such things. Therefore, the two countries need to make a joint statement explaining such things.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"This can be done, and now we can draft such a document and issue a two-state statement." Shang Wen said. Meng Yi nodded.

Qin State stock market.

"In the current market, funds are tight. The number of stocks is just that much. The Qin government has issued that many bonds. In this case, the number of bonds will become more and more, and the funds will be slowly drawn out. At that time, the whole What will happen to the stock market?" Li Wen analyzed himself.

"The stock market will fall. A serious fall." said a speculative friend of Li Wen.

"Yes. Serious decline, the current market is extremely stalemate. We should let the market continue to fall." Li Wen said excitedly.

"But, I heard that you keep selling short again, but the market just doesn't fall. If that goes on." Li Wen's friends are cautious about the current stale market conditions, because there is no way to make a cent in the entire market. , Because the market conditions are extremely stalemate, on the one hand, the Qin government is lowering the interest rate of the quasi-payment. However, on the other hand, the government of Qin State is continuously issuing bonds. In this way, the market is replenishing funds on the one hand, and on the other hand it is absorbing funds on a large scale. This has caused the Qin State stock market to enter a stalemate after a period of rising. . Because there is no large-scale volatility in this state, the effect of making money in stocks is extremely small. However, Li Wen insisted on being bearish on the market because the market looked very weak.

"Okay. You insist on having your reason." Li Wen's friend said. But in this matter, he felt that he should be more cautious, because the market has not clearly shown signs of moving in that direction.

Around the time after Qin’s supper, people saw an astonishing news from the radio and evening newspapers.

"Qin State and Zhao State will use unified banknotes." After Qin State people read such news, they couldn't believe it.

"Yes. The news is amazing." The person reading the newspaper at night said in surprise. However, Li Wen, who read the newspaper, was a little uneasy, because this shows that the amount of funds may need to be expanded. In this case, a large amount of funds will be provided to the market, but now the number of bonds and stocks is also increasing, which is not a good thing for the Qin State stock market. It is precisely because of this. Li Wen is bearish on the entire market. Therefore, he shorted a lot of stocks. But Li Wen was still a little uneasy. However, soon, he became very relaxed, he thought it was because he was too worried. So he indulged himself, immersed himself in alcohol, and numbed himself.

After Qin State made a statement, Zhao State also issued a statement, but the people of Zhao State received the news relatively late. Not only did the Zhao State government take time, but also their media communication also took time. Zhao State did not have an official evening paper. Of course, Qin State, but it was already morning when the Qin State Evening News was published, so the people of Zhao State received such news later than those of Qin State.

And when the people of Zhao State did not get the exact news, the South Korean side confirmed the authenticity of the previous news.

"It seems that Qin is really going to do this matter." Han Shu looked at the telegram and said.

"Yes. King, we should hurry up. If Qin implements banknotes, it will inevitably result in a very strong demand for gold. At present, South Korea's gold reserves are very pessimistic." Zhang Liang said.

"En." Han Shu nodded.

"But we can't help it." Han Shu said.

"If Qin State and Zhao State use banknotes in unison, the Zhao State nobles will definitely make a fuss on the banknotes. In this case, there will be a lot of gold appearing." Zhang Liang said at this time.

"If we can take the opportunity to do something in it, it may strengthen South Korea's gold reserves." Zhang Liang said.

"This requires a lot of money." Han Shu said.

"Master, Qin currently has a large number of banknotes in the market. We trade with Qin, and we also have some banknotes. I think we can use these banknotes in this direction." Zhang Liang said.

"In that case." Han Shu thought for a while.

"I think it can." Han Shu thought it was feasible.

"Then make active preparations and strive to obtain gold in this way. This is my first gold reserve in South Korea." Han Shu said.

"Yes, Lord." Zhang Liang nodded.

Qin State Xianyang.

"Qin and Zhao will not use Qin's banknotes. If the plan is agreed, Qin will issue new banknotes." Shangwen explained to reporters that when the people of Zhao were informed by Shangwen, Prime Minister Qin The government has started to hold a press conference for publicity.

"Brand new banknotes, brand new units." Shang Wen said.

"Currently, there are three types of Qin State banknotes: gold, half tael, and cent." Shang Wen said.

"Among the three types of banknotes, the largest is gold. One hundred and a half are exchanged for one gold. However, there is a certain gap between such a calculation unit and the current metal. As a result, calculations are very inconvenient. "Shang Wen said. What Shang Wen said was the truth. Because of the trouble of conversion caused by the current calculations of the State of Qin, what Shang Wen thought was to replace the half of the Qin State with a brand new unit yuan acceptable to all countries, thus becoming Qin Yuan. Or the unified yuan. This can reduce the trouble in the calculation.

"There is a certain floating conversion ratio between gold and Qin Guojin. Such a conversion ratio is not a big deal in the calculation unit of gold, but after converting it into Qin Guo half two banknotes, there will be a one-hundred-fold magnification. In this way, if the settlement is half and two cents, it will result in a big loss for the business side. Because there is one cent under the yuan. In this case, the loss will be huge. Both parties cannot win together. Many trades are because of this. Profits caused great business losses for both parties." Shang Wen said.

"If two settlement units can be used, this can prevent such a situation from happening." Shang Wen said.

"In addition, the settlement unit is more refined, which is very important for Qin. It is also an acceptable plan for both trading parties." Shang Wen went on to explain.

"Then, why did the Prime Minister Zhao and Qin use a paper currency together?" a reporter asked at this time.

"Of course it is market demand." Shang Wen explained.

"Qin's trade is expanding. It can be seen that the scope of Qin's trade has surpassed any period. The wide range and large market capacity have made Qin necessary to make some reforms." Shang Wen said.

"If Qin continues to use such units, Qin's banknotes as a kind of regional banknotes, his scope is only within the domain of Qin, although Qin's domain is already very broad, but think about it. , Is Qin's trade only limited to Qin's domain?" Shang Wen asked.

"The answer is impossible. Qin State banknotes are not just a kind of banknotes used by Qin State. In some areas, Qin State banknotes are also influential. Qin State banknotes cannot affect a region. Qin State banknotes should be one. An international paper currency." Shang Wen said.

"International banknotes." The reporters all looked at Shang Wen in surprise. Shang Wen proposed the concept of internationality for the first time, and Meng Yi on the side was surprised. He did not expect Shang Wen to think so far.

"Right." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"International banknotes, Qin's banknotes, will replace gold or become gold-like banknotes. They can settle trade settlements between countries. Such settlements can bring great convenience. And this is Qin's efforts. Direction." Shang Wen said.

"And such a goal, Qin must also achieve." Shang Wen said.

"And Zhao and Qin use unified banknotes. This is the first step of Qin's own currency reform." Shang Wen said.

"In ancient times, the earliest currency was shellfish. This was because shellfish was difficult to find. Later, gold came into existence because gold was precious." Shang Wen said.

"Up to now, countries can mint their own currency, Qin's half, or Zhao's knife coin, etc." Shang Wen said.

"From nature to when we humans mint currency. This is a kind of progress. Now, human beings use more convenient banknotes to replace metal currency. This is a big progress for mankind. Such progress is made by Qin." Shang Wen said.

"The prime minister's idea is very bold." The reporters said.

"I have to be bold. Qin is moving towards a new world, and this brand new world will be guided by Qin." Shang Wen said.

"Then, Prime Minister." At this time, a female reporter raised her arm and asked.

"Please speak." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"Excuse me, the prime minister. Does Zhao Guohui accept such an offer?" The female reporter looked at Shang Wen with sharp eyes and asked.

"I think it will." Shang Wen replied.

"Why?" the female reporter asked.

"Because Zhao Guo needs so many banknotes to boost his economy." Shang Wen said.

"As we all know, Qin's banknotes are currently exchanged in a certain proportion with Qin's gold." Shang Wen said.

"This ratio of exchange basically reached 1:1.3." Shang Wen said.

"This ratio is quite large." Shang Wen said.

"This shows that Qin's paper currency is equivalent to gold to some extent." Shang Wen said.

"This is the current situation. At present, all countries need a stable environment. This is the reason why Qin does not need war. Another situation is that all countries need paper money to boost their economies. However, gold is in Qin. In the hands of the country, that is to say, Qin State has a large proportion of gold reserves. Under such circumstances, paper money replaces gold and meets the current demand for paper money in various countries. It has become a trend and an unstoppable trend." Shangwen explained.

Qin reporters recorded every sentence Shangwen said, because such a sentence may become a classic quotation in the economy. But Shang Wen didn't want this, he just hoped that he could explain it clearly.

"This kind of news is amazing." When the people of Zhao State who got up in the morning saw the morning newspaper, everyone was surprised. If this were the case, wouldn't their State of Zhao become a subject of Qin? For some conservative Zhao people, such a government statement is somewhat difficult to accept.

Some Zhao people can't accept it, but most businessmen can accept it.

"Change it, it should have been changed a long time ago. Settled, settled, it's troublesome. Once you buy, you have to change money several times, and sometimes you lose money. It's really a damn, use this Paper currency. I think I can still exchange it at a loss." said a Zhao Guo merchant who sells small commodities from Qin State. Because of frequent purchases, he is absolutely against the conversion of currencies between Shenzhen and Hong Kong Stock Connect. If he calculates in this way, he can avoid such things from happening, because sometimes the money that is hard to make, as a result, because of the conversion ratio, Swallowed directly. This kind of thing has happened several times, and every time I clearly calculated that I was making money, I ended up losing money. This is too important for a businessman.

"The shopkeeper, is it good for Zhao Guo if you use banknotes?" his apprentice asked curiously.

"Of course. This paper currency, pick it up and use it, is much easier to use than those metal coins. Moreover, it is easy to hide on the road. Or it is very good if it is changed into a money order. The province encountered robbery on the road. Give it to them. Some change is enough. This is a big deal. If you get robbed, who do you go to." The shopkeeper said.

The attitude of merchants is generally that they should be replaced with paper money, because the meaning of paper money lies in the convenience of trade.

As for the nobles, their attitude is a bit ambiguous.

"This can be regarded as big news. It is not just a paper currency. At present, Zhao Guo has become a mess. There are Zhao country money, and Qin country money. Gold is good, but it is less." A nobleman I read the newspaper and said.

"Just leave him alone." The nobleman threw the newspaper aside.

Other nobles were worried, but they didn't know what they were worried about. They were worried that the issuance of banknotes would be detrimental to the State of Zhao, but he didn't know what was detrimental. Because they didn’t understand at all, what kind of stakes exist between paper money and Zhao’s currency, because they did not have the opportunity to get in touch with such things. Naturally, they were a little worried during the currency reform, but this worry made them even more at a loss. They don't know anything.

"This time I enter the palace, I want to explain in detail, I hope the king can understand." Li Mu said to Li Zuoche.

"Let's make a statement first, and then explain this matter. King, will you blame us?" Li Zuoche asked worriedly.

"En. Maybe there will be, but as long as we clarify the benefits and solve this problem." Li Mu said.

"It is good for Zhao Guo and good for everyone. There is no need to worry about things like this." Although Li Mu didn't worry about it, he actually had some doubts in his heart.
