After walking for a long time along the way, and finally returning to Dongshui, Chen Chen only felt that his trip to Tu'an this time was a waste of time, if he hadn't gotten these precious drawings, then he would have cried to death. (8) (1) Chinese Net. ８⒈

As for the internal turmoil in Tu'an, he didn't bother to care, at this moment his attention was all on the other side of the ocean, what kind of forces existed there, and actually caused the high priest to fail miserably, and even lost his life because of it.

Of course, if you want to fight against the forces on that side, then you have to immediately unify the countries and then establish the Dongshui Dynasty, then further build a strong national army, and finally concentrate on doing great things.

Thinking like this, Chen Chen also has a little clue and plan for the future development of Dongshui. If you want to exhibit, you have to war, you have to expand your territory, and in troubled times, you can't take the road of peaceful rise at all.

After all, it is not possible to hold a place in Dongshui, only by expanding the territory, then all the resources can be used to the maximum limit, of course, there is no strong state machine as a guarantee, then all material civilization is empty talk, so the construction of Dongshui still has a long way to go.

Following Nanzhao into Tianzhou, the scene along the way surprised Chen Chen, in the few months since he left, Tianzhou has actually undergone great changes.

I saw that the banknotes were trampled on the ground, and the children lit the banknotes together and sang nursery rhymes around the fire in a circle.

There is an extremely chaotic scene in the market.

"This uncle, I'm sorry I don't want banknotes, you see the streets are full of banknotes, who wants it? It's worthless for a long time, and if you want to buy groceries, you can exchange them for equivalent items. ”

"Oh my God, I've been saving up for a long time, is it so wasteful?"

…………

"Gold and silver money, I don't want paper money."

"If you don't have gold or silver, roll the calf."

Along the way, Chen Chen watched the crazy scene of paper money being trampled on, and was shocked in his heart, what is going on? I have only been away for a short time, why are paper money so low? Could it be that paper money is depreciating, inflation, and the market is collapsing?

Chen Chen hurriedly found a restaurant, and immediately Xiao Er greeted him, and said coldly: "Passerby, if you have gold and silver, you can come in, otherwise where will you come from."

These days, the restaurant has earned a lot of worthless banknotes, and as a result, the boss is very thunderous, so they also have to be careful to serve, and all guests who do not have gold or silver are not allowed to enter the restaurant.

"What the little brother said, since I can come, then there is naturally gold and silver." Chen Chen took out a piece of silver, shook it in the air, and then threw it to Xiao Er.

"Hey, master, please inside, the horse will be given to the small one, you can sit down." When Xiao Er saw Yinzi, he seemed to see your own father and mother, and his attitude changed greatly, and he was very attentive and enthusiastic.

Chen Chen let Xiao Er take the horse, and he came in immediately, and came to the second floor to find a place near the window to sit down.

"What are you going to eat, Master?" The shopkeeper immediately greeted him and asked.

"How can the shopkeeper come to welcome guests? No one else? Chen Chen took a look, and there were not many people in the huge place of this restaurant.

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Alas, it's not because the banknotes are worthless, the boss has suffered huge losses, so many people have been dismissed."

"Oh, then let your boss come out with me to talk, I'll give the money, and as for the meals, you can get a few good ones." After Chen Chen finished speaking, he handed the silver to the shopkeeper.

"Hey, I'm just going to tell the boss." The shopkeeper kept holding the silver pad, and his eyes were full of love.

"Hehe, the guest is surprised, it's a long time since the little old man has touched such a big silver, so he feels very kind, so he lost his temper. Alas, since the introduction of banknotes, although it is said that it is easy to use and simple to collect, who knows that in just a few days, banknotes will be worthless all of a sudden. The shopkeeper looked at Chen Chen and stared at him like an idiot, and quickly smiled awkwardly, explained a few times and left.

"Has anyone done anything? The imitation is quite similar, but it is still not hot. Chen Chen looked at the banknotes he picked up from the street, and then took out the banknotes on his body for comparison, and couldn't help sneering, he thought that the ancient people were simple, but he didn't expect that counterfeiting was so popular, and it could be seen everywhere.

The word money on Dongshuixing's banknotes was written by him with a brush, which is more crooked, but it is very coherent and vivid.

The money on these banknotes on the street is extremely rigid and sluggish, and some places are more like patchwork pieces, especially the two places O and E, which are completely carved out according to imitation, and some places are different in size.

"Huh? The guest master is extraordinary, isn't he an officialdom? In Xia He Yunfeng, the guest master wants to see me? Just as Chen Chen carefully discerned the banknotes and thought about things, a crisp and loud voice sounded in his ears.

Looking up, a rich boy was shaking a folding fan and looking at him interestingly.

Chen Chen hurriedly got up and bowed his hand: "You are the boss, please sit down."

"Boss He, how much do you know about the depreciation of this banknote, can you tell me?" Chen Chen put away the two banknotes and smiled at the boss.

He Yunfeng nodded: "No problem, this thing was born recently, these days I don't know why there are more banknotes on the market, and then some merchants can't help it when they look at the rich benefits, so they immediately raise the price, it doesn't matter, all of a sudden all the merchants follow the price increase, and the last back and forth, the paper money is worthless, as you can see, there are many banknotes on the street like waste paper."

Chen Chen frowned: "Sure enough, there are too many banknotes, plus counterfeit money is in circulation, it is difficult for the currency not to depreciate, boss, do you know where it started?" Only by grasping the origin can we start from the roots.

"You would never guess this, hahaha, we all thought that the origin was Dongshui, the financial center, but it turned out to be not, it was actually Shengzhou, the industrial center, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable."

"Dongshui is Kyoto, and the headquarters of major merchants and Dongshui Bank are all in Dongshui, who will pluck the feathers on the tiger's head?" He Yunfeng said quite self-deprecatingly.

"But Kyoto is not having a good time, the major merchants have asked the banks to open gold and silver immediately, and now the two parties are so consuming, as far as I know, if the imperial court does not open gold and silver again, I am afraid that the major merchants will have to ......" He said, he made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Listening to the boss's words, Chen Chen smiled bitterly: "It seems that King Wencheng's prestige in the hearts of the people of Dongshui has plummeted, and if these merchants make such a fuss, I'm afraid Dongshui will be in turmoil."

"It can't be said that although the merchants are a little too radical, but they are only forcing the imperial court to open up gold and silver, after all, Dongshui gives the merchants a better environment, as long as they are not stupid, it is impossible for the imperial court to be too ugly and turbulent."

"But then again, how can the imperial court make so many paper money? Isn't that just destroying prices? Although the paper money is easy to use, but if no one recognizes it, it is waste paper, I hope that the prince will solve these problems as soon as possible, we still recognize and support the prince, just hope that he will save Dongshui as soon as possible. Otherwise, the newly emerging country will have to decline and disappear, and now Chen Guonanzhao is ready to move on the border. He Yunfeng said with a sad face, saying from the bottom of his heart that he didn't want the East Water to be destroyed, otherwise he would have to return to his previous life of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
