Wu Peng felt that a new door had opened in front of him, and many things that he had never touched before came to his face. He felt elated, but also a little panicked.

"We have to have pricing power." Tianhao's words were loud: "Great Master, I have seen the mud templates stored in the royal database, the monetary system has long been recorded, and the key is how to use it. We can trade with the Leons, but they must obey the rules we have set. If you want weapons and steel, you have to trade them with our money. ”

“…… I know what you mean. After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Peng finally let out an extremely long sigh. He had a look on his face that he realized: "The price is set by us, and so are the rules, they either accept it or reject it." ”

Tianhao clasped his hands on the table and said with a smile: "In terms of price, we will not raise it too much, and we must conform to the most basic market laws." This approach will definitely touch the lion king's bottom line, and it is difficult for him to accept, and even refuse to admit this whole set of trade systems. If nothing else, he will threaten us with cutting off corn and potato exports. ”

"We can solve this problem by holding on for a while." A smile bloomed again on Wu Peng's face: "You bring in corn and potatoes from the south of the continent through those white people, and then we can grow them ourselves, and we don't need to look at the face of the lion king." ”

Tianhao agreed with the same smile.

The happy mood lasted for a short time, Wu Peng quickly thought of another question, he put away his smile, wrinkles covered his face in their original appearance, and something inexplicable was flowing in his deep eyes, he then smiled bitterly and slowly shook his head: "Ah Hao, your idea is very good, but Your Majesty will not agree, will not issue an edict, and will not order the full implementation of this new monetary system within the clan." ”

Tianhao was a little surprised: "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty is old." Wu Peng said bluntly: "His only idea now is to keep the ethnic group stable. Pioneering and enterprising is no longer so important in the eyes of His Majesty. You have to understand that this is not a stupor, but age and time are a drain on a person's will. It's not his fault. Your Majesty...... Never a bad person. ”

People want a stable and happy ending when they get older.

Lying in bed and dying peacefully is the best way to leave this world.

The old people especially don't like war, they hate the rebellion of the king, the unworthy descendants, and the losers who forget the names of their ancestors.

Tianhao nodded slowly: "I understand." ”

"So what you just said can only be put on hold for the time being." Wu Peng saw his performance in his eyes and said seriously: "Wait patiently for a while, I will try my best to persuade His Majesty to change his mind." ”

Tianhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Otherwise, can you make a simple attempt on the monetary system within the scope of your authority?" ”

Wu Peng's reaction was quick: "You mean, a regional pilot like the one in Red Hooves City? ”

Tian Hao smiled, every word that came out of his mouth now had to be carefully thought out, and he thought about it repeatedly: "After all, this is just my personal opinion, and I am not absolutely sure." Rather than just spreading it out to the entire clan, it's better to try it out in the Rock Collar first. The City of the Red Hoof is a good example, the King of the Thunder Bull is very cautious, and the example of the Bull Copper experimenting with the Lion Clan in the City of the Red Hoof shows that it is not in our interest. Even if a small-scale trial fails, the loss of being limited in advance is acceptable. On the other hand, if the trial is doing well, it can be used as a basis for a full-scale rollout across the community. ”

"That's a good idea." Wu Peng's head issued a compliment: "Small-scale trial...... The king would not object to this. ”

The atmosphere in the room became lively again, and the old and young people discussed the details for a long time. Tianhao was surprised to find that the great master's understanding of the monetary system was not shallower than his own, although he was a barbarian, he had a quick mind and long-term vision, and even some of the details he had missed could be supplemented.

It's almost time to end the conversation.

"There's a question, I hope you can answer me honestly." The old man's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Tianhao had been mentally prepared for this, and he knew that this problem would come sooner or later. Nodding, his face calm: "Please speak." ”

"Will you remain loyal to our people forever?" The tone of the Great Master was very serious, without a trace of other ingredients.

A huge surprise exploded in Tianhao's mind, which was completely out of the expected script.

It's not the problem I think about, and I can't even touch the edges.

Shock and surprise were like two huge stones, smashing into the unfazed thinking pool at Tianhao, splashing countless splashes.

"Answer me, will you always be loyal to our people?" The Great Master repeated the previous question, and his expression became more and more cold.

Tianhao, who reacted, took a deep breath, he picked up the knife placed on the table, cut his left palm, and suddenly a fine line of blood appeared.

This is a blood oath.

"I will always protect this tribe from enslavement and displacement of its people. I promised you that the people of Panshizhai would be fed and clothed, and I did it. Now, I want to expand this goal so that all the cattle people can enjoy this happiness. ”

……

At dawn, the Great Commander left the fishing village with his guards and headed north.

He's always so busy.

In fact, the superior is not as easy as ordinary people imagine, and under the aura of eminence, it is necessary to bow down to everything, far exceeding the difficulties and toils of ordinary people.

There are some things that cannot be hidden.

Sooner or later, word will spread about the capture of the Obsidian. Broken Tooth and Masae are loyal to themselves because they have undergone spore transplantation. The guards around him are also loyal to him, but out of reverence for the lord. Above the lord there are patriarchs, national teachers, majesty, and gods.

If something else is changed, the chances of leaks are low.

But when it comes to white people, the enemy of thousands of years has been treated favorably in the Rock Lord, and many people can't understand it at all, they don't dare to question the wise lord of Tianhao, they will only think that it is the white people who use evil witchcraft to confuse the leader, their simple minds will not think of more, and they can't understand the so-called conspiracy, so they can only ask for help from the new higher ruler.

Taking the initiative to report to a national teacher and reporting to others with their real names are two completely different concepts.

The former means that it is above board, and the latter is suspicious, coupled with the rumors that the Rock Lord intends to rebel has been circulating in the outside world, it is the most effective weapon to prove his innocence and expose himself at such a time.

Tianhao knows very well that the biggest flaw in the whole thing is that he is familiar with the white language that is extremely unfamiliar to barbarians.

The barbarians of this era barely knew English, and the alphabet seemed to them the equivalent of a book from heaven.

When he sent the secret letter to Tianmai, Tianhao was already fully mentally prepared, and he had formulated a complete set of plans to deal with the interrogation of the Great Master. You can tell him some secrets in a limited way, this is for self-preservation, and it is also for the better development of the Rock Collar.

The gap between reality and imagination is too great, and the great master has never mentioned the question that Tianhao expected from beginning to end.

Where did you learn the white language?

His final question concerns only loyalty to the community.

Tianhao covered his mouth tightly with his hand, his heart was full of strong agitation, his nostrils were sour, and tears almost came out of his eyes.

It's a sense of fulfillment to be trusted, and it's just wonderful.

Just like a father to a son, no matter whether the son grows up or not, he will always be a pampered child in the eyes of the father. He will never care about his son's faults, as long as he remains right in the general direction, the father will always be his son's strongest supporter.

The Great Master obviously knows some secrets, about the race, about the world.

Tianhao felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

This is a strong sense of responsibility.

Gradually, he let go of his hand, raised his right arm, raised his straight right hand to the front of his temple, and solemnly saluted the distant back of the great master.

This is the military salute of the civilized era, and it is also the first time that Tianhao came to this era and used such a solemn and ancient etiquette against the barbarians.

……

Crafting silver coins is simple.

The alloy formula was selected by Tianhao himself, and the silver content of a single coin is as high as 70%. Tong Biao led the blacksmiths to make a mold and stamped it, with the portrait of His Majesty the Ox King engraved on the front of the silver coin, and the horn symbolizing the power of the tribe on the back, which was simply polished after stamping to ensure the regular circle.

This silver coin is exceptionally beautiful, and its manufacturing techniques far surpass that of the Leo currency.

In the following month, the Lord's Guard, led by Broken Tooth, including the entire core members of the Rock Leader's Regiment, received a stipend in the form of silver coins.

"Yulu" is a neologism that barbarians rarely come into contact with.

In a society dominated by rationing, they hardly thought about the many problems between the means of production and the product. The reason why the Panshi Collar was able to advance by leaps and bounds in the entire Niu group, from a small village to a city in a short period of time, and continued to expand into a large area, in addition to Tianhao's personal factors, is more the result of the exponential increase in people's productivity and the massive amount of materials as the basis.

Without a stable supply of materials, no matter how talented a commander is, it is impossible to win the battle.

Land, sea, mountains and forests...... Tianhao is like a hard-working groundhog, frantically accumulating all kinds of supplies. Now, the output of the Rock Collar far exceeds that of other villages and tribes. In addition to the reasons that were told to the great masters, the demand from the lower classes of the people is the basis for the implementation of the monetary system.

Elsewhere that doesn't matter, the Rock Collar needs money, and it's a highly credible value-added currency with strong value and strong purchasing power.

The expedition discovered a silver mine on Jeju Island, which Tianhao relied on to vigorously promote the monetary system.

Rock Coins, Ox Silver Coins, Horn Coins, King Coins...... All sorts of garbled names popped up overnight, and a few blind fellows shouted that the portrait on the silver coin was exactly like theirs, and thought it was a miracle from the gods, and almost engraved their names on it.

Tianhao ordered all the nonsense and whimsical guys to be arrested and whipped dozens of times in public.

These barbarians must not be viewed by the standards of civilized times. You give him a sanitary napkin, and it's entirely possible that he will stuff it into his mouth as a delicious pastry and eat it to his heart's content.

One after another, orders from the lord were issued throughout the territory.

The new currency is tentatively named "Rock Coin", which is divided into three types: gold coins, silver coins and auxiliary coins, and the market circulation is mainly silver coins and auxiliary coins, with the exchange rate between gold coins and silver coins being 100 and silver coins and 200 coins.

No one is allowed to destroy, conceal or pollute the Rock Coins, and offenders will be punished according to the severity of the offense.

No one is allowed to counterfeit a Rock Coin, and if it is found and confirmed to be true, it is subject to capital punishment.

There can be no more regulations issued at one time, and it is difficult for the simple brains of barbarians to remember. The details can only be experienced confidently in their daily lives, and the political commissar will play an important guiding role in them.

Intrigued by this shiny gadget, Broken Tooth rushed to the supply office with the money he had just received and experienced first-hand the process of exchanging coins for the day's food.

Paralyzed, money really works!

You can buy anything with this thing, only you can't think of it, and you can't buy it without you. The lord said that in the event of a war in the future, he could even use money to buy female prisoners of war, and he could buy as much as he wanted.

Tianhao is cautious about the amount of currency issued, calculates accurately, and never over-issued. On the one hand, the current production of the Jeju silver mine is not high, and on the other hand, the actual issuance must be based on the actual production materials of the rock collar. At present, this state of affairs is in the primitive stage of finance, and the establishment of a stock exchange and a credit system in advance can only play itself to death.

Of course, the bank must have it, which represents the official recognition of the currency by the Rock Collar, and if the common people refuse to accept the currency, it can be cashed into goods at any time.

Tianhao felt like he had planted a seed in a barren land, and the seedlings grew slowly, but after all, they broke through the soil and saw the green.

……

The development of Jeju Island is progressing rapidly.

Zhengjiang's fleet expanded dramatically in two months and now has six seagoing vessels. According to Cheonho's order, it is forbidden for the fleet to disobey orders and deliberately deviate from the course, and must honestly travel back and forth between the fishing village and Jeju City to transport people and supplies.

Tianhao knows very well that Zhengjiang doesn't like to be bound by the out-of-the-box, but rules are rules, and the first two times he acted without permission but gained something, he can only say that he is lucky. There are always ghosts when you walk too much at night, and the importance of Jeju Island's development is overwhelmed by everything else, and if Jeonggang violates the order for the third time, he doesn't mind using this newly established model to give everyone a vivid and vivid penal education lesson.

Curvetooth set a fire on the island, igniting a large area of shrub and woods, and the fire lasted for nearly a month, until the monsoon brought a large amount of water vapor from the sea and formed rainfall, and the overwhelming fire finally extinguished, revealing the fertile soil covered in thick ash.
