"It's not a potato, it's a souvenir! After I counted last night, I found a lot of extinct and scarce medicines and necessities on the earth, which are very common here. Of course, we can't move it for ordinary people, but it is still profitable to resell some of the things that can be used by cultivators for the various sects! As you can see here, it's very backward for us. Moreover, the world of Xudu is far away, and ordinary people can only be around this city, so there is naturally a lack of circulation and exchange. What we have there, scoop it here, and it will definitely become a sought-after item! ”

Seeing that the more the uncle talked, the more excited he became, Pu Yang couldn't help but pour cold water: "Yes, let's carry a TV here, it's really rare." If they can carry an airplane over, it will blind their dog's eyes! ”

"Well, there's no point in using it here, but some of it can be circulated. For example, there are also rich people in the capital, get some perfume to sell to the ladies and ladies, get some good wine and cigarettes to sell to the old men, this is the monopoly business of me, the city lord, and the price is not set casually? Futon laughed.

Pu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Do you want to get you some bras?" You can hook up with the broad wives! ”

"Boy! What attitude? The futon gave him a slap on the back of the head.

In Qin Yao's chuckle, Pu Yang rubbed the back of his head and said seriously, "Uncle, you don't really want to do this, do you?" Even if it is a strange commodity and can be sold for a high price, there is a limit to the amount I can carry at one time. Even if I carry dozens or hundreds of bottles of wine for you, will I be okay? Can you squeeze into that crack in the mountain wall? I've got a crazy but brilliant idea! ”

"What?"

"Issue currency!" Pu Yang said with a smile: "This requires you to continue to consolidate your prestige, if you can win the hearts of the people like in the past two days, you can open a bank or something to issue banknotes to everyone." With the current process conditions here, we don't need to make genuine banknotes, even the printing process of dark coins can't be forged. Of course, for long-term consideration, you can still find a more high-end one. When the time comes, you can exchange their silver or something, so that everyone can use paper money conveniently. You can trade this money for purchases. And I can bring in a little bit more at a time. ”

The futon looked at him for a while, and then looked at Qin Yao: "What do you think?" ”

Seeing that the two of them looked serious, Qin Yao couldn't bear to blow, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's okay." This banknote process is not the key, the key is your credibility, only everyone believes in you, can you exchange silver for banknotes. As long as your credibility doesn't collapse, banknotes are issued as you please. ”

The reality is that in the post-World War II era of the Bretton Woods system, the core of the international currency, the US dollar, was pegged to gold reserves. But then the United States fell into the Vietnam War, the outbreak of the credibility crisis, etc., which led to the collapse of the system, and the dollar lost its core hegemony, but it has since been the most important currency, thanks to the country's credibility.

Although the evolution of the economy and currency cannot be explained in a few words, if the United States is not the only superpower and has a stable economy, or if the country is often ****, other countries will not use the dollar as their foreign exchange reserves, and they will not be able to issue so many currencies. However, with the support of national credibility, a considerable part of the problems such as inflation caused by the over-issued currency have been passed on to other foreign exchange reserve countries.

I don't know that much about the futon, but if I think it's just a trial in this capital city, it shouldn't be much of a problem. As long as this monetary system is running, even if he leaves one day, it will still work. Of course, with a new city lord and a change in policy, there may be problems. However, as long as there is no problem of additional issuance, the most important thing is to return to the silver standard monetary system.

"Okay! So do it! I have accumulated prestige, and you have designed and printed a complete set of the capital currency. ”

Seeing that his uncle agreed, Pu Yang was a little sweaty: "I'll talk about it casually!" ”

"There's nothing to say casually, anyway, it's a disaster to the people of Xudu, and it's also on your head." Futon said very unkindly.

Qin Yao had no choice but to comfort: "It's okay, it will benefit the people, and the merit will be counted on your head." Think of it as a combination of risk and opportunity! ”

"Wine and perfume are also needed, as well as all kinds of medicines, which will always have a market!" The futon looked like a profiteer, squinting and thinking about what else mattered.

Pu Yang whispered to Qin Yao: "If it weren't for the fact that carrying it was a problem, he probably wanted me to fight a department store to come over......"

"Don't think so hard! Can I still pit you, uncle? The futon glared at him, then reached out and said, "Scoop your hands over!" ”

Pu Yang handed over the hand that was still holding the black crystal spirit stone, and Qin Yao also hurriedly put the spirit stone back. But he didn't expect that the futon was not to scoop the spirit stone, but to take off the bracelet that was given to him.

"This one was left for you when I left, have you figured out how to use it yourself?"

"Well, it works." Pu Yang glanced at Qin Yao, and said that it was by relying on it that he found out that she was a demon clan.

This was the time when the uncle came to him later, and he confessed a lot of things that night, and this bracelet was found the next day. When he scooped it at the time, he remembered a lot of related memories. When he was a child, his uncle boasted to him, saying that this string of Buddhist beads is a treasure, once there is a demonic energy nearby, it will shine, and this light can only be seen by him, and there is a unique dzi bead, which is a rare treasure. What is the specific effect, the uncle sold Guan Zi at that time, and said that when he awakens in the future, he will naturally know the Tao after he has mana.

"You're just using the most basic function that can't be called a function." Futuan smiled and pointed to one of the Buddhist beads: "What is this Zhilu Dao?" ”

"I've said that this is a dzi, a rare treasure. I didn't tell me what the specific role was, saying that when I woke up, I would know the Tao when I had the power. Pu Yang told the truth: "But I still don't know what special role it has." ”

"I'll tell you now!" Futuan put the bracelet on his hand again, and pointed: "Enter a little spiritual power into this dzi." ”

Pu Yang was a little puzzled, but did it anyway. He has been carrying it for so long, and if it also contains powerful energy, it is impossible to know nothing.

Just when he tried to sense the dzi after inputting his spiritual power, he suddenly found that there was an extra space in front of him. Although it is not particularly large, it is also a very clear, virtual and very real space.

He shook his head violently, "This—this...... How can I see ......"

"A space, huh?" Futon smiled: "This dzi has a famous hall, called Sumeru mustard seeds!" ”

Nasumeru is in mustard seeds. "Sumeru" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, also called "mandala". It is a famous mountain in ancient Indian mythology, Mount Meru is of great significance in Buddhism, it is the king of mountains, the center of the world, and it is often used as a metaphor for being extremely huge. And "mustard seeds" are the seeds of mustard greens, which are often used as a metaphor for being extremely small. Vimala Sutra? The Incredible Product says, "If the bodhisattva dwells as a liberated one, there is nothing to increase or decrease in the height and breadth of Sumeru, and in the inner mustard seed." It means that if the bodhisattva lives in liberation, the huge height of Mount Meru will not increase or decrease if it is put into a small rapeseed.

Bai Juyi once asked the monk: Sumeru is the largest and the highest, and the mustard seeds are the smallest and smallest, how can the mustard seeds enter the Sumeru Mountain?

There is another story, saying that Li Bo, the assassin of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, once asked Zen Master Zhichang: "The Buddhist scriptures say 'Sumeru hides mustard seeds, mustard seeds Na Sumeru', I think it is too mysterious and bizarre, how can a small mustard seed accommodate such a large Sumeru Mountain?" This is really too ignorant of common sense, is it a lie? ”

After listening to Li Bo's words, Zen Master Zhichang smiled lightly and asked: "People say that you 'read more than 10,000 books', is there really such a thing?" ”

"Of course! Of course! Why don't I read more than 10,000 books? Li Bo looked triumphant.

"So where are all the 10,000 books you've read now?" Zen Master Zhichang asked Li Bo along the topic.

Li Bo raised his hand and pointed to his head and said, "Of course, it's all kept here." ”

Zen Master Zhichang said, "Strange, I see that your head is only the size of a coconut, how can it fit ten thousand books?" Could it be that you are also lying? ”

After Li Bo heard this, he immediately realized and suddenly became enlightened.

All Zen principles are sometimes explained from the point of view, and sometimes they are explained from the point of view. Therefore, we must know that in the universe and the world, there is reason in things, and there are things in reason; It is a fact that Sumeru hides mustard seeds, and mustard seeds Na Sumeru is Zen. If you can understand that there is no barrier to the council, then you will be able to understand Zen with ease.

"Nasumeru is a mustard seed, I've heard this saying, but this should be a Zen principle, a metaphor, right? How could there really be such a thing?! Pu Yang was shocked.

Futon was satisfied with his expression: "What is the truth, and what is the metaphor?" When we want to explain the truth to those who cannot understand it, we must use parables. Zhuangzi said that there is a huge fish called Kun in the North Sea, which can turn into a huge bird called Peng, which can soar to tens of thousands of miles in the sky. This is also a metaphor, thousands of miles are huge, and tens of thousands of miles in the sky are even more exaggerated. But if modern people who have watched science fiction movies look at it, will they feel familiar? Is it like a spaceship that can stop at sea and stir up waves and fly away? Perhaps Zhuangzi saw an alien spaceship or airplane back then, but he couldn't understand his time, and others couldn't understand it when he wrote it, so he used exaggeration and metaphor to turn it into a fable. ”

This...... Puyang is a little sweaty, and his uncle's thinking is always so chic, he can't compare to a young man.

"Mustard seeds are loaded with Mount Meru, which is naturally a metaphor. But such a miniature space exists. This dzi has the miraculous effect of containing Sumeru in mustard seeds. That's what I'm going to say, and you can only turn it on if you have mana. ”

The futon, who pretended to be a profound and explained the truth, immediately switched to the "profiteer mode": "So, with this thing, can't we resell a large number of goods across the world?" ”

Not to mention, with this thing, Puyang's heart is also warm. Not to mention any other rare needs and medicines, it is gold or silver that can fill the entire mustard seed space, which is also to be issued! This dzi of Sumeru mustard seeds is simply a reversing artifact, and it can't be mixed up in the future, so you can still do transportation!
