The monetary system at the end of the Sui Dynasty was too chaotic, and the market was flooded with copper coins from various dynasties from the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty for hundreds of years, official and local private mint, and there were no less than 30 kinds of currency in circulation, even those of Wang Mang's new dynasty.

After more than two years, Chen Quan could no longer tolerate such a chaotic situation of currency circulation. So more than a year ago, he personally went south to Luzon Island, according to the copper and gold mines discovered in the Ming Dynasty, large-scale mining and smelting, and left the third disciple Chen Jigong personally sat in Luzon.

Speaking of which, Chen Quan regretted that when he left Daming, why didn't he bring more pure copper. If you bring more pure copper, you won't have to endure more than two years.

With these pure copper and gold, together with nearly 80 tons of gold mined in Donglai, Chen Quan will establish a set of copper coins and gold coins of different denominations, and cooperate with silver bills to establish a new monetary system.

Chen Quan did not choose silver, firstly, because China's silver production is low and difficult to mine; second, the corrosion resistance of silver is too poor; Third, silver is too soft, even if the coin is issued, the people may use silver scissors to destroy the face value of the coin, so that the value of the silver collapses, and the so-called fire consumption is not allowed to happen; Finally, when silver sources are discovered in other parts of the world and mined on a large scale, silver will inevitably depreciate significantly.

In short, Chen Quan will establish a long-term and stable monetary system through advanced technology and a large number of gold and copper alloys, completely change the current chaotic situation of currency circulation, and further control the circulation of wealth in the world.

"Master, you just said that the integration of various forces is a good thing. But in this way, won't it be more difficult to unify the world in the future? ”

While waiting for the fleet to enter the port, Chen Quan did not forget to teach his three disciples. It's just that the three disciples still don't understand what benefits Chen Quan did everything possible to let the family and the gate valve unify the forces of all parties to Donglai. The fourth disciple, Chen Sixi, directly asked the question in his heart.

"It may be more difficult, but if there are fewer anti-kings in various places, the number of casualties among the people will definitely be greatly reduced. In this way, the suffering of the people will be alleviated, and secondly, the country we have built will not be troubled by the small population, as was the case with the first few dynasties before us! ”

Chen Quan patiently explained to his three disciples.

Although the population death in the last years of the Sui Dynasty was better than that of the late Han Dynasty and the late Ming Dynasty, the population of more than 45 million people was still full of endless blood by the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Most of the suffering came from the back and forth of hundreds of anti-king forces.

Chen Quan, through Luoyang Wenwen and Yanmen, scolded Yang Guang and forced the gate lord family in the Central Plains to integrate all forces on a large scale, forming a situation where the eight major forces are now separating the world, which objectively greatly reduces the number of small-scale battles and the number of casualties among the people.

Moreover, under the tremendous pressure of Donglai led by Chen Quan and Dongfang Undefeated, the remaining seven major forces showed great restraint during this time, although there were not many conspiracies and tricks, and efforts to annex each other were happening all the time, but there was no large-scale war.

The relatively peaceful environment and the large-scale export of grain, salt, cloth and other materials in Donglai have miraculously shown signs of recovery in the vitality of the people in various places. I have to say that the resilience of the Chinese people is really strong.

"In fact, if you do it properly, the difficulty will not necessarily increase much, and it may even decrease!"

Looking at the three disciples, Chen Quan suddenly smiled mysteriously. It's just that this smile of his made the three disciples unconsciously feel that there seemed to be a cool breeze blowing on their backs.

"The three of you and Ji Gong, Yu Ming, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Tong all have more than the middle of the day after tomorrow, although there is a big gap between them and your senior brother and second senior brother, but it's time to go out and practice!"

"Master, you're not trying to drive us away, are you? The eldest among us, Senior Sister Wu Tong, is only fifteen years old! ”

Chen Fengcai, a young disciple who was only twelve years old, looked at Chen Quan with some fear, and couldn't believe that his master was going to drive himself and the others out of Donglai.

"What's wrong with being young! There are more people in the middle of the world who take up arms at the age of thirteen or fourteen! They don't have the cultivation like yours, so they don't shine in this troubled world! ”

Chen Quan touched Chen Fengcai's head, although this kid is only twelve years old, but because of the immortal peach to make up for the loss of vitality when he was a child, his nutrition has kept up in recent years, so now his height is more than one meter five, and his body is even stronger than a little calf. Compared with the children of ordinary people, some people believe that he is sixteen or seventeen years old.

"But ---"

Chen Fengcai wanted to say something, but was rudely interrupted by Chen Quan.

"Nothing! If you want to really grow, you have to go out. As for your identity, I will help you change your appearance and ensure that others will not recognize you as my disciple of Chen Quan! ”

When the three of them heard Chen Quan say this, they immediately understood that Chen Quan had made up his mind. While helpless and reluctant, he also began to think about what he should do after leaving Donglai.

"Master, do you want to arrange for us to do something?"

Chen Sixi, the eldest of the three, suddenly thought of Chen Quan's previous words, and suddenly asked.

"That's right! I want the four of you to hide your identities, blend in with several major forces, try your best to control some power, and when I launch a war of reunification in Donglai a few years later, we will cooperate with the outside and speed up the process of the war! As for Yuming, Xiaoxiao, and Wu Tong, since they are girls, they are not forced to assign tasks, and they are allowed to play freely. ”

Chen Quan said to the three disciples with a light smile. The strength of several disciples has already come up, and although they are not old, it is also a critical period for ability improvement. The experience of training in this troubled world can make them grow quickly and truly in a way that would otherwise have no such opportunity when they enter the era of peace.

"Remember, boys, this is your only chance. When the world is peaceful, then you will have little chance! ”

After a long time, Chen Quan suddenly added such a sentence. The three of them also instantly understood the meaning of Chen Quan's words.

"I don't want to sit in that position!"

Chen Hongfa muttered. As soon as the words fell, Chen Quan slapped him on the back of the head.

"It's not promising!"

While the four masters and apprentices were talking here, the boat that Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing were riding finally docked under the gaze of everyone.

As soon as they entered the range of Weihai Port, Shan Meixian and Shan Wanjing walked out of the cabin and looked at Weihai Port in front of them in shock. The huge port, which covers an area of nearly six miles, is majestic and magnificent. The sturdy cement trestle makes the traditional wooden trestle look so simple.
