Accompanied Li Zhen to stroll on the beach of Dafengtai, blowing the gentle sea breeze, watching the wind and sunshine, and listening to the waves crashing on the beach.

Jia Liping silently stepped forward, replaced Qi Zhenzi, and draped a coat behind Li Zhen: "Master Li, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Li Zhen walked with his hands behind his back, his eyes always looking at the open sea, not knowing what he was thinking. I don't know about what happened behind me.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. There were also two soldiers with real guns and ammunition following.

Standing on a rock, his hair ruffled by the sea breeze, Li Zhen suddenly felt a familiar throbbing in his heart at this moment. He lowered his head and covered the part of his heart, he knew that there was a mark in that place, and the mark was like a tear.

"I don't know why, but lately, I've been having palpitations like this a lot. Is it something I've been dreaming about for a long time, is it going to come true? ”

"But what am I thinking about?"

Li Zhen muttered in his heart. I could feel that the mark was constantly emitting a slightly hot feeling.

If he could remember the past, he would be no stranger to this phenomenon. Before experiencing an emotional upheaval, there are some previous omens there.

But Li Zhen doesn't remember anything now, just looking forward to it inexplicably.

"Master Li, please drink ginseng tea to warm up, the sea breeze is strong, your body is weak, you still have to pay attention to more maintenance."

Li Zhen was awakened by the voice, turned around, and saw Jia Liping holding a porcelain cup in his hand and handed it over. Looking back, there was a large number of people standing under the rock, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm just out to relax, what are you all doing with me?" ”

The crowd lowered their heads and laughed, but no one spoke.

Now Li Zhen's status is completely different from what it used to be. At one time he was just on a mission of cultural revival, and the students respected him.

But now, Li Zhen is responsible for the capital trend of the future empire, and he almost carries the fate of the entire Dongzhou and all the capitalists in the whole Dongzhou. This is not the same as in the past, now the position is high, and the weight.

Li Zhen smiled and took the teacup: "It's hard for you." Let's talk about something, this is a distance from the village, and you can get a freshly brewed ginseng tea, which is also very angry. ”

Jia Liping said with a smile: "I am thinking about Master Li's body and bones. ”

"Let's talk about things."

Li Zhen blew and brought the tea cup to his mouth to drink it lightly.

Jia Liping glanced back at the number of people waiting for Li Zhen, everyone was very interested, and they all turned their heads and stood in the distance. I'm not happy in my heart, damn, is it still confidential?

Li Zhen was a little funny: "Don't ink anymore, let's talk about it." If I don't say anything, I'm going back. ”

Jia Liping rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The student has a question and wants to ask you." ”

"Hmm."

"This question is a bit naïve, but I'm sure Master Li will definitely give a different answer."

"Say it."

"What's the most profitable business in the world, you say?"

Li Zhen handed him the teacup expressionlessly: "Print money." ”

Jia Liping smiled bitterly: "Master Li, don't be kidding...... Now I'm in charge of running the 10,000-year consortium, so I have to lead everyone to seek more benefits. ”

Li Zhen said seriously: "Do you think I'm joking? ”

Jia Liping smiled bitterly again: "But it has to be easy to operate." Printing ...... Money Only the founding emperor of the new dynasty would do this. Didn't you want us to join in the fun and make a revolution? ”

Li Zhen laughed and patted Jia Liping's shoulder: "Liping, you have studied the social structure so thoroughly. But in financial mathematics, you still need to put a little more effort into it. Did I say that if you print money, you have to make a revolution? ”

Jia Liping felt a sudden abrupt in his heart, he seemed to realize the deep meaning behind Li Zhen's words: "My idea is not mature enough, and I dare not bring it up in the academy." Now there is no one, and I ask Master Li for advice. ”

Li Zhen understood Jia Liping's behavior.

I basically don't teach much anymore, and everyone is free to explore. In their free time, they would come out and wander around, and every time they walked around, there would be many students waiting behind them, just to find an opportunity to ask themselves some questions individually.

Especially in the School of Finance and Mathematics, students are basically sent out to engage in capital, and they are doing research while practicing. Everyone hardly saw Li Zhen for a long time, so they could only ask for advice alone when they had the opportunity.

Li Zhen asked him rhetorically: "I will let you buy gold, silver, grain, and materials." Throwing Kyushu coins, how are you doing? ”

Jia Liping smiled bitterly and said, "Those seven people are reluctant. They are all businessmen, accustomed to not putting their eggs in one basket. It's all planned, small-scale throwing. ”

"Do you know why you're hoarding those things?"

"Li Shi said that the Kyushu currency will depreciate. Stocked, when a new dynasty appeared, these things were wealth. ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "Unilateral is not the reason. Recently, I have seen the rise of Dongzhou's capital, maybe we don't have to wait for the new dynasty, we can also do a big vote. ”

Jia Liping took a deep breath: "How can you do a big vote?" ”

"Hoarding gold."

"I've never wondered why we're hoarding gold. Now the gold coins in Kyushu are about to be eliminated, the price of gold is rising, and the price of gold jewelry is also rising. Isn't it irrational to hoard gold at this time? We've missed the time when gold is low, and there's no point in getting this now, right? Even if a new dynasty is established, and then the gold is sold, there is little to be gained. ”

Li Zhen asked rhetorically: "Did I say that the recovered gold should be sold?" I seem to have only said that resources can be sold, right? I never said I was going to sell gold. ”

"Huh? If we don't sell gold, then what are we hoarding it for? ”

Li Zhen stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice: "Capital reserves." Use a lot of gold to build trust. ”

"Trust?"

"If the consortium opens a 'money bank', after the collapse of Kyushu coin, gold and silver will become the currency in circulation. And the capitalists in Dongzhou will store the gold with us because it is inconvenient to store it, and we will invoice them. How much gold has been deposited, you can use the invoice to get back the gold at any branch of the money bank...... Doesn't this form what I call 'printing money'? Isn't the invoice we issue for storing gold just new coins? ”

When Jia Liping heard this, he was completely stunned, playing like this?

Li Zhen said: "And why do businessmen keep their money with us, this is the sense of trust." Our reputation alone is obviously not enough, and businessmen will think, what if we fall and the money cannot be withdrawn? So we need real money to build trust. And when we have enough gold reserves, the merchant will dispel all concerns and be confident and bold to keep the gold with us. ”

Jia Liping asked again: "Then does our money bank make a profit by charging fees for depositing money?" But this profit is too small, the risk is big, and the profit is not big. If a merchant keeps 10 grams of gold with us, we have to charge at least one-tenth of the storage fee to make a profit, right? And this tenth is like cutting meat for a businessman. Not to mention one-tenth, even if it is one percent of the storage fee, they are reluctant. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Who said that there would be a storage fee?" ”

"What? No storage fees? So how do we make money? Duty to work for the capitalists? How is this possible. ”
