Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Xiao Yun smiled and turned to look at Pei Zhongren. He took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let me tell you about my plan. Of course, this was a big secret until the moment it exploded. Only then will you know my true purpose, and you are all participants... Or perhaps... To receive endless punishment, or to enjoy great benefits... This point... Sorry, I can't let you guys choose, after all, there aren't many people I can use right now, so whether you're unhappy or depressed, you're already tied to my chariot. Unless you die, there's no way you can escape. "    

    

The two of them looked at each other.    

    

Especially Pei Zhongren, he felt that it was a mistake for him to stay here.    

    

Xiao Yun did not care what they thought and said directly, "I believe that these gold notes are almost impossible to be exchanged. Even if it is exchanged, it is only a small portion. Why are you so sure? Of course I am gambling! If I win the bet, I will have everything I want. If I lose the bet, I will lose. At most, I will have nothing. Will His Majesty kill me? It's just that I used some of his gold."    

    

" This... "    

    

The two of them looked at each other again.    

    

It seemed like only Xiao Yun could say such outrageous and arrogant words.    

    

Xiao Yun continued, "Using gold notes to collect gold, there are two goals. The first goal is to let people know that there is another way to spend the copper coins. Or rather, a way to store them. I'm sure you all know that, especially you, Elder Wu, to store the copper coin... Actually, it's very troublesome. Not only does it have to provide a very large space... Just cleaning the copper coin... I don't know how troublesome it is, but I also have to prevent those servants from secretly taking it away. "    

    

"They will definitely take some, but it's just a small amount. It doesn't matter."    

    

"Yeah, that's the only way. This is the cost of storing the copper coins. When the money was in his hands, it became less and less valuable. But the gold coin is different. As long as you use it carefully, it will not break. It could also be exchanged for the same amount of gold, which meant that the value of money would not be wasted. This is already very good. "    

    

"That's true."    

    

"[This is the first, and the second goal is to stabilize the value of gold.] First, through me selling tools, people will have a basic understanding of gold. And it will even be popular to use gold notes. Why do you think I want to make ritual implements? It's because those who buy it are either rich or powerful. They have a certain amount of authority among the people, and they have a certain role model. When they started to use gold coins, there would be people among the people who would fight to emulate them. I must think of a way to make people trust gold notes and acknowledge them. There is even a desire to use them."    

    

The two of them didn't quite understand what he meant.    

    

Xiao Yun did not care and said," And this point needs to be maintained by all the shops in the world. "    

    

"Is that so? That's why we have to open so many shops?" Wu Xi said, "Indeed, as long as there are more shops, the people will believe more."    

    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "As for the money to open these shops, it can actually be used to make money. What we have is gold coins, and gold coins can be exchanged for large amounts of copper coins. What are you going to do with these copper coins? Are you going to put them there and rust them? Of course I'm going to use them. I'll just use them to build these shops."    

    

" Ah? We... we'll use these copper coins? "    

    

Wu Xi turned pale with fright.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Of course I will use it. What about it? Can't I?"    

    

"No, but after I use it..."    

    

He thought for a while and realized that no matter how much he used it, the biggest problem they would encounter was when those people exchanged for gold, they needed to use His Majesty's gold.    

    

But even if they used His Majesty's gold, so what? Xiao Yun also said that even if he lost all of His Majesty's gold, His Majesty might not kill him.    

    

After all, that was gold, not the entire treasury!    

    

Wu Xi calculated for a while, then nodded and said, "This matter is feasible!"    

    

Xiao Yun reminded, "But don't think about it too easily. This matter... The most important thing was to prevent people from squeezing money. If it was anyone with money... If they suddenly came to exchange for gold, the shops in the area naturally wouldn't have that much gold. At that time, they would have to transport it out of our headquarters bit by bit. If we don't have gold, this gold note is meaningless to us, and the trust that we have accumulated with great difficulty... It will also be used up."    

    

"This... I'm afraid it will be very difficult, right?"    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "At this time, we need to worship God and pray to Buddha. We can count on the heavens."    

    

"This..."    

    

The two of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They clearly knew that this matter was not reliable, but they could not do anything about it. They could only do it.    

    

Because Pei Zhongren had barged in, he was also forced to join in.    

    

In fact, this was what Xiao Yun had wanted to do a long time ago. After all, Pei Zhongren controlled the Court of Censors. This was almost the secret service of Great Qin Country. The connections were spread all over the country, and it was very beneficial to the promotion of shops.    

    

As long as he had the support of the Court of Censors, the money would become more trustworthy. In terms of credibility, it would be a step further!    

    

After making all the arrangements, the two of them left. Only then did Xiao Yun lie on the bed. He took a deep breath and rubbed the space between his eyebrows.    

    

He said that he was "honest and honest" about what happened today, but in fact, he only said 10% of it!    

    

What Pei Zhongren and Wu Xi saw was only the tip of the iceberg.    

    

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.    

    

It had to be said that he could be considered to be in the right place, the right place, and the right people. If it wasn't for His Majesty's decree to not allow people to store too many copper coins, he really wouldn't have been able to do such a thing!    

    

This night, or perhaps it should be said that this half a night had passed very quickly.    

    

The next day, before dawn, Zhao Wuji had already arrived in front of the imperial palace and waited for the morning assembly.    

    

He was in a good mood. Although the morning dew was heavy, he did not sit in the carriage. Instead, he stood outside and breathed in the fresh morning air with a joyful expression.    

    

The other officials arrived one after another. When they saw him, they all went forward to greet and greet him.    

    

However, at the same time, everyone had the same thought.    

    

They wanted to see how he could protect himself from His Majesty's Fury of Thunder today!    

    

Some of the people who had a better relationship with him did not dare to step forward, afraid that if this big tree fell, not only would he not be able to help, but he would also fall on them.    

    

There was also a small group of people who were completely tied to Zhao Wuji in a war chariot. They could not hide even if they wanted to.    

    

And so, they all approached him.    

    

One of them asked, "Grand Preceptor, you look pretty good today."    

    

Zhao Wuji turned his head to take a look and realized that it was King An Shi, Faang Huali!    

    

This person had a different surname. Although he did not have much power, he was a rare noble.    

    

Usually, his relationship with Zhao Wuji was just ordinary. It was as if they were separated.    

    

Therefore, Zhao Wuji didn't expect him to approach him and talk to him at such a time.    

    

"So it's Prince Fang."    

    

"Aiya, the Grand Preceptor must not address me as such. Everyone knows... This prince of mine is hereditary, and I've never made any contributions. According to my age, I have to respectfully address you as Old Master Zhao. How can I address you as king in front of you? "    

    

Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said, "In that case, what about nephew Fang?"    

    

Faang Huali was obviously very happy and said, "My deceased father often mentioned that he had an old friend with you, Grand Preceptor. This should be how you should address him."    

    

"Oh? Fang Jingchu said that?"    

    

"My father always says so. My nephew's ears are going to be ground out of calluses."    

    

"Hahaha!"    

    

Zhao Wuji laughed happily, then suddenly narrowed his eyes. He said in a clear voice, "Now, all the civil and military officials in the court feel that this old man is going to face a great disaster. All of them were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it, but their nephew took the initiative to welcome them. Could it be that you are not afraid of His Majesty's wrath? "    

    

King An Shi, Faang Huali, sighed and said, "The previous decree did cause some problems, but these problems are not the fault of the decree. It's just that after it was executed, the local officials changed their duties due to dereliction of duty, and there were also criminals who benefited from it. This caused such a huge problem in the policy. It was not the Grand Preceptor's fault! Furthermore... This nephew believes that the Emperor won't blame you too much for this."    

    

" Oh? Nephew is so sure?"    

    

"Not only that, when I saw the Grand Preceptor's heroic spirit today, I already knew that he was confident. When he arrives in the court, he will definitely leave all the civil and military officials speechless!"    

    

"Hahaha!"    

    

Zhao Wuji laughed loudly and nodded: "Nephew is better at being an official than your father. If your father had half of your vision back then, this King An's title would not have been idle."
