Ying Qian looked at Bai Dong with interest, and his mood was a little complicated.

The eldest son, who was erected as a model pacesetter by Lao Qin for a while, is actually very contradictory. As the eldest son of the Duke of Xian but unable to inherit the throne, it is unrealistic to say that he does not have the slightest knot, in fact, when the three families of Mengxi and Bai rebelled and the secret envoy sneaked into Liyang to see him, this eldest son who 'took care of the overall situation' was not unmoved;

As a result, the three families of Mengxi and Bai were pacified by Bai Dong, and then stabilized the middle of the country, passed through the Western Regions, developed the economy, and boosted the royal family. Ying Qian rewarded Bai Dong because of this, but he was also a little inexplicably disappointed, his younger brother Yingqu Liang Wencai and martial arts were not as good as himself, but he was lucky to get capable ministers like Bai Dong and Wei Ying.

He has both admiration and an indescribable rejection of Bai Dongying, and even he himself can't tell whether he loves or hates this Xijun Baizi; It's just that it was this white son who saved him in danger and helped him save his nose, which is even more difficult to understand.

He was also in the column last time Bai Dong had a secret meeting with Wei Shen, and when he heard Bai Dong say such bold words as 'Under the Jin Ge Iron Horse, what is mine is mine, yours is still mine', he was very happy for a while, and since then he has been silently paying attention to this Bai Zi who has miraculously risen in the Qin State. However, he was also as curious as Wei Shen Huishi. Why did Bai Dong insist on launching the 'new silver'. What is the 'silver standard' system to establish? This does not appear to be beneficial. And he has to lose a lot of money, Fan Kui is a descendant of Tao Zhugong and a famous figure among the merchants, even he is not optimistic about things, why does Bai Dong insist so much?

"In the dream country that my teacher took me to, there used to be a proverb that 'profits always follow the rules, and businessmen often grab not short-term profits, but the right to make rules'

Bai Dong looked at the people with a smile: "Shizi is a smart person, and he has a lot of experience in my longitude and latitude positioning method. When knowing the determination of longitude, we must first confirm a prime meridian recognized by the world, and does this prime meridian have to be fixed in Liyang? ”

Bai Zi was the first person in the world to propose longitude, so this prime meridian was set by Bai Zi in Liyang, and it became a rule agreed upon by all practitioners of the longitude and latitude positioning method. However, this prime meridian is not necessarily set in Liyang, it is just a rule, it can be set in the girder, it can also be set in Linzi, and it can even be set in Luoyi, where Zhou Tianzi is located."

Wei Shen nodded, and even today when he mentioned Bai Dong's invention of the 'Jingwei Positioning Method', he would sincerely admire this genius idea.

"The eldest prince said it well. In fact, it is possible to set the prime meridian in any country and any region, but I, the inventor, set it in Liyang. From now on, the meridian of oak yang is the rule! Everyone who practices this method in the world must use this as a basis, and then even if someone sets another meridian. It will not be accepted by the whole world, and this is the benefit of making rules in the first place! When the rules are formulated, are you afraid that the benefits will not follow? ”

"Bai Zi is saying that the implementation of the new silver system is to implement a rule, even if you will lose money in the early stage of promotion, you can make a lot of money in the future?"

Wei Shen's spirit perked up: "Qin and Wei join hands to cooperate, let's make a lot of money from the people of Chu, Zhao, and Chu?" Wonderful, that's wonderful. ”

Everyone in the world knows that Qin Qi is a good friend, and Xu Gong of Qi is Bai Dong's long-term partner, and it is estimated that the money of the people of Qi will not be able to make money, but being able to earn money from other countries still makes Wei Shen very excited.

"There is a strange phenomenon in China, silver is expensive and copper and iron are cheap; However, copper and iron are more widely used, and they are not just extravagant things than silver. Why is this so? The reason is that there are too few silver mines, and the power of poor China is only ten mines, but there are many copper and iron mines, so after the shell coin, copper and iron coins are popular."

Bai Dong sighed slightly: "Now that all soldiers are equipped with armor made of copper and iron, many farmers are still using wooden rakes, why is this happening? It's because copper and iron have been used in large quantities to make money! In the face of huge interests, those aristocratic scholars who own copper mines are still privately minting copper coins and ingots! It has led to rising prices and the people of Li are difficult to survive, but the country does not have enough copper and iron available! There must be such a thing in the Wei State? Isn't the king of Wei in a hurry, and isn't the prince angry? However, I know that even the King of Wei and the prince of Wei will be powerless, because these entrenched aristocratic groups will always have a way to circumvent the decrees of the government, and the monopoly of copper and iron will often become a dead letter. ”

Wei Shen nodded again and again when he heard this, Bai Dong's words could be regarded as pointing to the root of the disease. What about the state of Wei? Wu Qi's departure is the final result of the victory of the old aristocratic group, otherwise Wu Hou would be so stupid as to only listen to his uncle's words? It is also with the support of the old aristocratic group that he has today, Hui Shi is a 'pro-old school', and his uncle Gongzi Ang, who supports him the most, is also one of the representatives of the old aristocratic group.

In fact, Bai Dong has not yet said his true intentions, once the Age of Discovery opens, the world's currency will be based on the 'silver standard'. Before that, Huaxia must use copper and iron resources on the blade and do its best to increase its strength, in order to dominate in the Age of Discovery!

This maritime battle, which has been advanced for nearly 2,000 years, will go hand in hand with his westward expansion policy, so cultivating the habit of using silver among the Chinese people before this and establishing the 'silver standard' era is equivalent to winning at the starting line! Of course, if Huaxia's silver inventory reaches a certain amount, it is not impossible to launch 'Huaxia Silver Coupons', just like the US dollars that will be used in the world in later generations, but that is a relatively distant thing

Yingquliang never spoke, just looked at Bai Dong thoughtfully. Qin also has a monopoly system of salt and iron, this 'iron' refers to copper and iron, and it is mainly copper; among them, the right to operate the salt industry was given to the Bai family, and the Bai family has never let the government suffer losses and disappointments, but copper and iron are different, since the era of Mu Gong, some big families have obtained copper ore and iron ore through various legal means, although they are forced by the provisions of the monopoly right, and some of the copper and iron produced will be handed over to the government every year, but it is only a drop in the bucket, including the Gan family, the Zhang family, a big family that has been inherited for three or four generations. Even people like Wei Ying, who dare to cut off the pious nose of their sons, have some scruples, and do not deprive these big families of the copper and iron mines they own when the new law is introduced.

Ying Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "If the new silver is successfully implemented, it can replace copper and iron as currency, and copper and iron will not be as valuable as it is today!" At that time, the warriors will be able to replace their broken weapons and armor, the farmers will be able to use the most handy farm tools, and countries like Qin and Wei will be able to become strong and strong! ”

The people sitting here were all smart people, Ying Qian could see the truth clearly, Yingqu Liang Wei Shen and Hui Shi could naturally see it, and they were a little excited for a while, only Fan Qi looked at Bai Dong steadily, and suddenly asked, "Is Bai Zi sure that he will find more silver mines?" If we only rely on high prices to collect copper and iron coins, we will lose a lot of money."

No matter how beautiful the prospect is, as a businessman, Fan Wei will not forget the difficulties ahead. To promote the new silver, the huge loss in the early stage will be unavoidable, for example, if the Bai family trading company wants to collect the copper and iron coins circulating in the market, it must be exchanged at a high price, and the more you exchange, the more you will lose, and those big nobles who sit on the copper and iron ore can open the altar to celebrate, because the white son of the Qin State wants to throw money to them If it is only the Bai family to spread money, Fan Qi is too lazy to meddle in things, but the Fan family is a partner of the Bai family, and Bai Dong wants to pull him to scatter money together, which must be asked clearly.

What Brother Fan asked was also Hui Shi's doubt. The last time the prince had a secret meeting with Baizi in Weidi, he talked about that one day the prince should carry out all kinds of close cooperation with Baizi, such as the economy and laws, and follow the law of Baizi, and advance and retreat with the Bai family. It is also necessary to form an alliance with the Qin State in all aspects such as military affairs and major politics, and to be a powerful country in the world, so as to realize the grand plan in Baizi's chest! Therefore, if Baizi wants to promote Xinyin, Wei Guo cannot sit idly by, so he naturally wants to help Baizi; But now the prince is not the king of Wei, even if the prince ascends to the throne in the future, the Wei State will also have great difficulties, and he will not hide from Baizi that Pang Juan is fighting every day and raising troops every year, and how many families in the Wei State will be hollowed out by him, but he can't afford to pay it. ”

This is an old fox, as soon as he heard that he was going to lose money to promote Xinyin, he immediately called out to be poor, and he didn't forget to pull Pang Juan. Who made Pang Juan your senior brother, and now he is contributing to the Qin State? The bad debts he made should naturally be borne by you, the rich man in the world!

Bai Dong looked at Wei Shen Huishi and Fan Kui, and suddenly laughed: "Losing money? Who said that you will lose money by promoting new silver? It's just that Shizi and Huizi have this wrong idea, Brother Fan is the descendant of Tao Zhugong and a contemporary giant, can't even you see the truth clearly? Or did Brother Fan know but didn't say anything, and deliberately wanted to test me, a junior? ”

"Bai Zi's words are serious, where does Fan Qi dare to compare, but how to promote the new silver without losing money, please teach me Baizi."

Fan Kui is becoming more and more curious now, even if he wants to break his head, he can't figure out how to promote the new silver in the early stage without losing blood, is this white man really having a silver mine in his hands? Impossible, silver ore is not as good as copper and iron ore, from the Shang Dynasty to today, there are seven or eight hundred years, but the number of silver mines has always been only two palms; Besides, even if there are one or two silver mines, it is useless, and it takes a lot of work to extract and smelt, and the amount of silver obtained is far from supporting the huge amount of money required to promote new silver.

Bai Dong looked at Fan Kui and said with a smile: "I have a method, first do the straight and take it, and the intention is to get it in the song." You don't have to worry, listen to me slowly" (a good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
