Chapter 952: Coins
"What are you doing with our notice?" Liu Ye, who learned the news of Chen Zhen, also rushed over, and happened to hear Fa Zheng's words, so he took the conversation with a smile and asked.
"At least have a clear heart!" Fa Zheng said resentfully, "By the way, I'm going to get married soon, are your gifts ready?" ”
"Two bottles of self-brewed good wine will be ready when we accept you as a junior brother." Guo Jia replied casually.
"It's stingy." Fa Zheng glanced at Guo Jia with disdain, in fact, he was quite satisfied in his heart, although Guo Jia's self-brewing didn't know whether it was good or not, at least the friendship was enough!
"Then how about I give you a pair of golden?" Guo Jia pursed his lips, and his style dropped many notches directly.
"So stingy." Fa Zhengyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia extremely unpleasantly.
"Okay, don't talk about it, guess what Zichuan wants to release at the end of the year?" Liu Ye dragged back the topic that Fa Zheng had distorted.
"Don't worry about it, in terms of the general outline of government affairs, although I don't want to admit it, 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 at all, after all, if he was really interested, he would ask, and he would tell as long as he asked Chen Xi.
With Li You's understanding of Chen Xi, it is very likely that he will conflict with his own cognition again in the future, and then the kind of thing that a group of people disagree with before, and finally Chen Xi overturned a group of people is really discordant.
"I think we should not take care of the affairs of the general affairs of the government, we can do our things well, and Zichuan will solve the affairs of Zichuan by himself." Lu Su directly cut off the sprout. He didn't want to do the same humiliating thing as last time.
Unlike Liu Ye and Chen Xi who secretly clashed directly, others at most watched from the side. did not end up directly, as for Liu Ye, although he did not end up that time. But it adds fuel to the fire, 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 words in front of him, and when he stepped through the door, he heard Liu Ye's curiosity and asked rhetorically.
"I'm curious about what strategy you want to release at the end of the year." Liu Ye hurriedly spoke, and Lu Su saw that he didn't stop him, and he also looked at Chen Xi, and the others were also curious.
"What's wrong with minting and SDRs." Chen Xi replied casually.
When Chen Zhen sent a letter to Taishan, he also sent someone to inform all the senior officials in Yecheng, but the generals had already gone to Jizhou to sweep away the bandits, and Liu Bei went out to wander again, so naturally Chen Xi was the last one to arrive.
As for Xu Shu. They also have a good martial arts, and they also brought 500 people to suppress bandits.
"Minting?" Everyone is black-faced, how much they want to scold, this Han Dynasty you want to mint the standard five baht money, the cost of you to mint six or seven million money is 10 million yuan, the general country is not strong to a certain extent, resolutely do not carry out such a thing as minting money.
"Well, it's time for us to mint money." Li You thought for a moment and said slowly, and there are also copper mines in Jizhou. It's time to mint some coins and prove your strength.
However, Li You ignored the SDR in a word, and the others only paid attention to the minting of coins and did not think deeply about anything else. On the contrary, it made Chen Xi talk a lot less nonsense.
"Well, what kind of money is minted?" Lu Su asked with a sigh.
It is inevitable to mint money, and when the power develops to a certain extent, it must be minted money. In order to improve the people's recognition of this power, but minting money means losing money. A loss of about 40 percent is enough to think about.
"Five baht!" Chen Xi said proudly. The five-baht coin minted at the peak of the Han Dynasty was very recognized, and it was still used until the Tang Dynasty, which is the advantage of weight money!
"The cost is too high, and if you mint five baht, everyone in the world will use it, and we can't make enough money." Jia Xu hid his face and said, there is no fraud in the five-baht coin, even if the text on it is blurred, it is not fake, this money only depends on the weight.
"It's for the people of the world." Chen Xi pursed his lips and said, "I'll know when I go back, I don't know how Xingba is preparing now, it took a lot of time to have no charts for the first time, and it shouldn't be after that." ”
In fact, Chen Xi didn't know that Gan Ning knew that it was a strategic place after returning from his first trip to Luzon, and after Guan Hai went to Yizhou, Gan Ning asked him to use Qiongzhou as a springboard to travel back and forth between Luzon and Yizhou to collect copper ore.
A large amount of copper ore was smelted into bronze blocks on Luzon Island, and then escorted by Guan Hai to Yizhou, where they were collected, and after more than a dozen round-trips, Yizhou had already deposited thousands of tons of small copper blocks.
Think about the fact that there are more than eight tons of copper in one cubic meter, and because of the greater density of tin-lead, bronze is actually thousands of tons of bronze blocks melted together, and even the length, width and height are less than ten meters......
However, these are also the main materials used by Chen Xi to mint money in the future, anyway, it is not his own thing, Chen Xi is not afraid of waste, in other words, compared to the level of bronze smelting and casting, China seems to have always been the pinnacle of history.
As for the Ganning soldiers who stayed on Luzon Island at the beginning, they are now also enlightened, and they look at money very lightly, and 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 dollars, and it is estimated that after a long time, they will lose their motivation for money, and there is no one 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, he knew that he had an island that produced a lot of copper for him to squander, so it was necessary to mint money.
However, before the minting of coins begins, Chen Xi needs to fix the value of the coins, which can appreciate and depreciate, but he must not let the family have the final say, those guys who don't even understand the laws of the economy, the currency must be calculated by the official!
"We have lost a lot of money to cast this, 10 million yuan of copper can only mint 6.5 million yuan, which is still the cost of large-scale manufacturing by the state, and our words, even if we have conducted research in this area, I am afraid that it is so much." Liu Ye said helplessly, and did not stop Chen Xi, after all, it was time to mint money.
"Therefore, we want to find all the families, we have to give each five-baht coin a clear value, fix the market price, and maintain the price of some material things." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The prices of daily necessities such as grain, salt, and cloth must be under our control, which is related to long-term peace and stability." ”
"There is no way to eliminate the rich and the poor, what we have to do is to ensure that the poorest group of people have at least food and clothing, as long as we can do this, no, as long as we can roughly do this, our system is impeccable." Chen Xi swept over everyone and said with a smile on his face.
Although this is not entirely the case, before the awareness of some rights and interests is awakened, this system can maintain long-term peace and stability for at least 500 years according to Chen Xi's estimate! (To be continued......)
