"Don't think about it!" The old man said with a look of disdain: "Most of the commodities on the island are planned to be supplied, forty catties of grain for adults a month, and half of the food supply for those under the age of twelve, don't think about ...... if you want to buy an extra catty of food, hehe!" ”

Gu Liang was going crazy, and it was a planned supply, and he found that as long as it was a profitable business, he would be told that it was a planned supply, which was ...... How do you do business!

"Okay!" Gu Liang was completely speechless, it was the first time he had seen such a place, and it could only be said to be wonderful.

Figured out what was going on with the currency on the island, Gu Liang once again asked the servants to exchange some colorful banknotes, it was not a taste to hold in his hand, this kind of money could only be used on the island, and it was obviously slaughtered, and the books of 2,600 points immediately became more than a dozen, this price was not much cheaper than Datang, but he still gritted his teeth and bought it.

Then Gu Liang took the servants to visit a few more shops in the business district, and learned more about the Wufeng Islands, and as he saw more goods, he was shocked at the same time, and his impression of the Wufeng Islands became more and more profound.

This is indeed a peculiar place, this peculiarity is not manifested in the distance, even if he goes south to the Cham country and the Zhenla country, or even the Silla country, the Wa country and the Balhae country, because of the influence of the Tang Dynasty on the surrounding countries, the Tang merchants did not feel any discomfort in these places.

But here, although Gu Liang also saw the Tang people, he had a sense of alienation and strangeness, which did not come from the language, but from the life and system here.

Gu Liang has even seen that the shopkeeper of the bookstore doesn't know how to read at all, because he has rarely been in contact with currency for a long time before, he often makes mistakes between Wenguan and Yuanfen when he speaks, this is an illiterate person, and he can become the shopkeeper of a bookstore, which is impossible in Datang.

Gu Liang has met a lot of people like the shopkeeper of the bookstore in the business district, if there is one, it is enough, and if there are more, it means that the cultural level here is very low.

But if someone wants to deceive them, it is not easy, these people are just a tendon, Gu Liang tried to make heavy profits, but these people were scared to death, and they claimed to report to the official, which made Gu Liang smile bitterly.

After walking around the business district, Gu Liang never understood why the exchange ratio of the currency here was so strange, as if there was no need for this at all.

Do you want the people of the island to communicate with the outside world?

Gu Liang didn't realize that his thinking had fallen into a misunderstanding, but this can't be blamed on Gu Liang, no matter how smart Gu Liang is, it is impossible to know the economics of later generations.

Originally, Gu Liang was able to touch the threshold of economics through this matter, but unfortunately because of the darkness under the lights, he missed it, and I don't know how long it will take to understand.

The currency exchange rate of the Wufeng Islands is just more specific and obvious, Gu Liang does not know the true face of Lushan, only because he was born in this mountain, or because he is used to nature, but he does not realize the difference between the ratio of gold and silver to copper coins and the Tang Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom next to the Wufeng Islands.

But I don't know what it means for a country to be a very normal thing in the eyes of a businessman.

Naturally, Zhen Qian could continue to use the currency unit of Wen and Guan, and the currency exchange ratio of the Wufeng Islands would be the same as that of the Tang Dynasty, but this would not be beneficial to the Wufeng Islands at all.

First of all, the Wa State is a country rich in gold and silver, and it seems that it is a bit of a loss to lower the exchange ratio of gold, silver and copper coins, and it can obtain rich imports of goods from the Tang Dynasty, which will not have much impact on the economy of the Wa State, but will help to improve the economic level of the Wa State.

However, the Wufeng Islands are completely different, first of all, the Wufeng Islands are not rich in gold and silver mines, and if the exchange ratio is according to the standards of the Japanese state, the trade with the Tang merchants will inevitably suffer.

However, if the exchange ratio of the Tang Dynasty is used as the standard, the economic strength of the Wufeng Islands is insufficient, but it is easy to cause a large amount of gold and silver to flow into the Wufeng Islands, and too much gold and silver inflow is not a good thing, especially when the economic strength of the Wufeng Islands is weak now, it will cause inflation and prices to skyrocket, and it is impossible for Zhen Qian to live with piles of gold and silver at that time!

The Wufeng Islands are destined to be unable to adopt either the currency of the Wa Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, so they can only design a new and effective economic environment by themselves.

Zhen Qian thought of the monetary, economic, and financial environment model of the United States towards China in later generations.

If you want to be invincible in trade, you can't continue to use the Tang Dynasty's Wenheguan currency unit, and Yuan and Fen were naturally born, which is as simple as drinking water for Zhen Qian.

The exchange rate of a currency is related to the economic history and monetary policy of a country, and has nothing to do with economic strength.

Zhen Qian can set the exchange ratio of the Wufeng Islands to one to six or one to ten, which is meaningless, and the purpose is to protect the economy and foreign trade of the Wufeng Islands.

In the final analysis, whether it is 1 to 6, 1 to 10, or 1 to 100, has little impact on the basic life of the people living on the Wufeng Islands, but it has a huge impact on foreign trade and the purchase of foreign goods.

What does it mean that in later generations, when people buy foreign goods, or when domestic goods are exported abroad, they find that the price of their own goods from abroad is lower than that of goods in their own country?

Another example is to spend at KFC in China, you can't eat enough without hundreds of yuan, but it is only a dozen dollars abroad, what does this mean?

There are naturally many deep-seated factors in this, but one thing cannot be denied, the rich countries use monetary weapons to plunder the resources of poor countries, and this asymmetry will exist in any era and will always exist.

Zhen Qian wants to use monetary weapons to plunder the wealth of neighboring countries, but of course it is not realistic now.

Even if there are no four major scholars in the southeast to land on the island, the geographical environment of the Wufeng Islands will inevitably make Zhen Qian consider the status of economic development, and he is on the edge of the Japanese state, so there is naturally no need to worry about gold and silver, if the time is not yet ripe, Zhen Qian would have introduced the gold and silver standard system long ago.

The Wufeng Islands are now, in the future, and even in the future, they will inevitably move towards the road of maritime civilization, so foreign trade is an unavoidable topic.

In the short term, the one-to-six currency exchange system will restrict imports, but is Zhen Qian worried?

Apparently it won't be!

Just like a sentence often mentioned in later trade: the export of low value-added commodities will always be exchanged for the loss of resources and economic dependence!
