Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

In his previous life, Xiao Yun had deeply understood this principle.    

It was even the existence that some people pursued.    

For example, a company, the boss hoped for all three of them to exist. The grey ones were naturally the employees who could do their own things. The things that could be done and the tasks that were assigned would occasionally perform beyond normal. Occasionally, they would also cause some trouble, which could be considered a daily occurrence.    

The boss would feel much more at ease if the honest or simple-minded guy went to manage the finances.    

The black market, the money would open up a path for Quan Color. The money would move on the edge of the edge of the police cordon, and it would bring great benefits to the company. The black market, the money would open up a path for Quan Color, and the money would move on the edge of the police cordon, and it would bring great benefits to the company.    

If the black market were to do the finance and the white market, then... a company would not be far from death. The black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, the black market, and the white market.    

The same principle.    

The same goes for the country.    

Everywhere, there would always be some dirty work that needed to be done by the black people, done very well.    

Wu Xi was such a person!    

Between the profiteers, he was the strategist. Among the treacherous officials, he came from both sides. His connections were all over the black and white sides, between the loyal and the treacherous.    

The loyal officials avoided him, but on the surface, they were flattering him. The treacherous officials cooperated with each other, but they also secretly fought against each other.    

It was just that this was not close, but it could link up the entire Imperial Court and the entire world. This kind of thing could only be done by the dark ones!    

For example, this disaster relief. If Wu Xi had not been able to contact those merchants and understood the way of mediation, winning with the quantity of inferior grain, he would have completed the most difficult part of the disaster relief.    

Of course, these were all things that Xiao Yun knew and could see.    

As for the others?    

Even Wu Xi himself didn't know that he had such an important role!    

Xiao Yun simply told Wu Xi about the role of a treacherous official.    

Wu Xi was also confused when he heard it. The deep-rooted thinking still made him unable to understand the adjectives of those seemingly insulting words. Why was it a good thing?    

After that, Xiao Yun assigned Wu Xi a job.    

This job could only be assigned to one person from the Wu family. No one else could do it. It was just like how the Wu family was not allowed to set foot in the West Crossing Courtyard after living in the Xiao family.    

This job was to buy a piece of land in the capital and build a base. The base would be seven feet deep, and it would be used to build an underground treasure vault, transferring all the gold in the treasury.    

This sounded like an idiot.    

Because the treasury was in the imperial palace of the capital, they had to build a place in the capital. This was equivalent to moving from the left street to the right street. What was the difference?    

There was no difference. It was labor and money. If this wasn't stupidity, then what was?    

However, Xiao Yun's instructions were extremely firm. There was nothing to discuss about this matter. It had to be completed!    

Wu Xi was also helpless. As the saying went, a person under the roof would repay kindness, and it was also a business that could live. He could only do it.    

After arranging everything, there was only Xiao Yun left in the cell.    

He smiled lightly and leaned against the bed. He could not help but laugh again.    

He had really done a big thing, an extremely big thing! Unfortunately, no one could comprehend it. This was a bit like a night in embroidered clothes, and it made him feel somewhat helpless.    

Of course, he could still wait for the day when it would erupt. It would definitely make everyone under the heavens fall. Glasses!    

Apart from these things, the world seemed to be especially calm.    

Many people were busy working for Xiao Yun, hoping to get him out.    

Even in the Imperial Court, there were people who proposed such a memorial, causing His Majesty to be annoyed.    

And the most annoying one was Zhao Wuji.    

Every few days, he would send someone to ask if Xiao Yun was dead or if His Majesty had given any orders.    

In the end, he got impatient and went to the capital again, asking His Majesty to punish Xiao Yun, this bastard who had committed a heinous crime.    

And on this day... All of Xiao Yun's plans, no, to be exact, were caused by a series of natural and man-made disasters, which seemed to have nothing to do with it, exploded!    

The copper mines in Great Qin Country were mainly concentrated near the northern border. On one hand, it was because of the natural disasters caused by the earth movement. On the other hand, it was because of the Northern Wei's Chen Bing Northgard, which caused the production of these copper mines to rapidly decrease. It was even less than one-tenth of the previous year's copper mines.    

Whether it was the disaster relief, or the rise of the entire world's rice prices, along with the sale of locust patties, the construction of the disaster zones, and the transfer of land for the disaster victims, all of these things had caused an overload on the operation of things.    

Copper coins!    

Actually, Great Qin Country did not have enough copper coins to begin with.    

In recent years, the Great Qin Country had been peaceful, and the production of all kinds of goods had been increasing. For example, the population had increased, and the land reclamation area had increased. The production of these agricultural products had naturally increased.    

Another example was the development of the workshop business. Whether it was the production of cloth or the increase of some daily necessities, the number of goods circulating on the market had increased exponentially.    

Each of these required copper coins!    

Why?    

The copper mine would be mined and transported to the capital's Bureau of Supervision to be printed into copper coins before it would be distributed. This process would either be used by the Emperor to spend the copper coins or to use the National Treasury to collect grain to be distributed.    

This was something that had to be guaranteed.    

The reason was also very simple.    

For example, if a copper coin weighed one kilogram a few decades ago, and the copper coin didn't increase, in the end, the rice increased, the various goods increased, and the items increased. If money did not change, then money would become very valuable. It would become a copper coin that weighed two pounds of rice, or three pounds or four pounds. Or even more.    

This instantly made the copper coin particularly valuable!    

In that case, no matter what kind of business he did, it would be better to stock up on copper coins to make money!    

No matter what business you do, it's always a loss of money.    

In this way, who else in the world wants to spend copper coins? They were all trying their best to save up, what if they wanted to buy things? It was fine as long as they exchanged grain for food, but they wanted the copper coins? No way!    

The more he amassed, the fewer copper coins on the market, which would make the copper coins even more valuable!    

It would become a "value increasing" item, and it would lose the value of the currency itself.    

Therefore, since many years ago, Great Qin Country had to desperately print copper coins in order to offset the consumption of the copper coins.    

Of course, this process was also extremely costly.    

During the peak period, one had to spend half a coin to print the same amount of money!    

Most of the tax revenue collected from the treasury was spent on printing money.    

Fortunately, the copper coins became more valuable in those few years, which made printing money cheaper, which made the king happy for a long time.    

Unfortunately, good times did not last long, and the copper coins suddenly became insufficient again!    

Especially this year, they were even more stretched out.    

At this moment, Zhao Wuji was making trouble for Xiao Yun. Prime Minister Lee suddenly walked out slowly. He bowed, then picked up the jade slip and said loudly, "Your majesty, there are no more copper coins available in the national treasury. Please enlighten me, your majesty."    

His majesty was stunned and frowned. "There is no money in the national treasury? This is not a matter of a day or two. Why did you come to report today?"    

Prime Minister Lee said, "Your majesty, today is the time to give salary to the various provinces and counties."    

His majesty's brows suddenly wrinkled.    

Great Qin Country was a bit poor now, but if they could not even give out the salary of the local officials, it would be a bit too much. This kind of thing had never happened before even in the previous dynasty!    

"This... Zhen remembers, isn't the supervisor increasing the production of money? It has already been more than a month, why is it still not enough?"    

" Your Majesty. "    

Prime Minister Lee said in a clear voice, "The furnace has been opened, but there is no copper ingots in it. Even if you work overtime, it is meaningless."    

"No copper ingots? Then what are Zhen's four copper mines doing? "    

" Your majesty, the two most important copper mines of Great Qin are in the north. The first is affected by the earth movement, and the second is disturbed by the North Wei. The output of the copper mines is extremely low. The third one is in the west, where the locust disaster is wreaking havoc. The miners are already mixed in with the deserters. Now that they were living with the porridge for the disaster relief, there was naturally no production. As for the remaining copper mine, it was originally an old mine. Now that the mineral resources are running dry, there's nothing I can do. "    

"This..."    

His Majesty was completely stunned.    

He even secretly patted his own head.    

Isn't that the case?    

He remembered that since last year, he had already ordered people to search for new mines, and he had even spent a large sum of money. However, the results were extremely small, and there was currently no news. The reason why he did this was because a copper mine was about to dry up.
