"Finally came back alive."

The fleet sailed into the estuary, and Yuan Hua stood at the bow of the boat and yelled excitedly.

Now he is almost no different from the wild man, his messy hair is draped behind his back, his skin is dark, I don't know what kind of beast fur clothes are tightly wrapped around his body, and the shoes on his feet are also made of animal skin.

Luckily, some of the soldiers on board could make shoes, otherwise they would have all come back barefoot.

Zou Yan stood behind Yuan Hua, excited and uncontrollable.

Yingzhou is too bitter!

I thought I was going to Immortal Mountain, but I didn't expect it to be a wasteland.

Not to mention the small beasts, the crop yield is extremely low, and the natives of the island live a primitive life of slash-and-burn farming, and they don't even understand sericulture.

When they went, it was still late spring and early summer, and who would have thought that it would be winter in a blink of an eye, and they could only wear animal skin clothes without a winter coat.

There are still earthquakes and tsunamis on the island, and when have their group of Central Plains people seen this kind of scene, they almost can't come back.

"Are you...... General Yuan Hua. After receiving the news, Zhao Miao hurriedly came, stood on the shore and confirmed repeatedly, and finally recognized Yuan Hua.

"It's me, immediately arrange for someone to prepare hot water and meals, it's not a human life for most of the past six months." Yuan Hua said loudly, "There are goods in the cabins of the five ships behind, you take someone to unload it...... Be sure to be able to trust someone. ”

After speaking, Yuan Hua jumped off the boat directly.

Suddenly, a strong smell came from Yuan Hua's body, Zhao Cong hurriedly covered his nose, looked at Yuan Hua in horror, and quickly retreated to the rear.

"This is the general of my Zhao State's naval army?" Ge stood in the distance, suddenly worried about the future.

……

Seeing the expressions of Xunzi and the others, Zhao Kuo knew that they didn't understand, not because they were not wise enough, but because the times limited their thinking.

It is difficult for them to separate money from goods, and in their view, money is gold, bronze, silk, grain, and other valuable things.

Of course, paper also has value, but the value of paper is not proportional to the denomination.

This is what puzzles them the most.

"Anyway, that's generally the case, my Zhao Guo's money is just as much as everyone sees." Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and he didn't plan to continue to explain.

"That'...... Isn't there not a penny? Kong Bin stood up and said in horror, without noticing that the tea in the cup was spilled on his robe.

Neishi has always been in charge of him, and he couldn't be clearer, except for food, silk and other items, there is not a single copper plate in it.

He always thought that Zhao Kuo transferred the money away, after all, Zhao Kuo, as the monarch, has the ability to govern the country for all to see, and the money can play a greater role in Zhao Kuo's hands.

Although Kong Bin was a little unhappy, he couldn't say anything.

Who would have thought that there was really no money!

Co-authored Zhao Guo's wealth is all fake!

"How can Neishi think that? The soon-to-be-completed Handan City outside is not money? The academy is not money? Isn't it money that the roads, the canals, the disappearing saline-alkali land, the chicken farms, the goose farms, the pig farms, the wineries, and the cement factories are not money? That weapons, armor, ships are not money? Money is money only when it is spent, and it will always be just a copper plate in the treasury. Zhao Kuo said.

Money can only have economic utility when it is circulated, and the more places the same money circulates, the greater the economic value it will drive, and the more industries will be revitalized.

This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo found a way to dig out the money buried in the ground by that group of nobles, the Central Plains countries were already in a money shortage, and you guys still buried the money in the ground.

"That'...... What if something happens? Zhao Sheng said worriedly. He had only just learned that there was not a penny in the treasury.

You must know that there has always been a legend in Handan that every morning, a car full of copper coins will drive into the palace from outside the city, so Zhao Guo has endless money.

Zhao Sheng naturally didn't believe it, how could a mere car of copper coins be enough for Zhao Guohua?

"Let's not say there will be no accidents. Even if an accident happens, the widow can also take out the money in the future and the money of the six countries first. Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

The credit system has been established, and the entire Zhao State is supported by it, even if that group of businessmen knows the principle? After getting used to paper money, can they go back to the era of trading copper coins in carts?

After the Jiaozi thunderstorm, the Song Dynasty changed to send money, didn't the merchants continue to use it?

After the Guanzi thunderstorm, didn't the businessmen also start to issue their own huizi?

Compared to copper coins, the convenience and security of paper money are incomparable.

Needless to say, pulling a cart of copper money dealers or carrying a few banknotes in your pocket, which is easier to be robbed.

What's more, Zhao's banknotes were issued after calculation, and as long as there was no joint run between two countries of Wei's size, it was impossible to thunder.

When Yuan Hua comes back, even if the two countries jointly run, Zhao Guo will not be afraid.

However, it is a bit dangerous to play the credit system in this era, especially when only Zhao Kuo understands it, in case of some accidents, it is very likely that it will be missed.

Therefore, there must be sufficient margin to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

As for whether this margin is the same as gold or silver or bronze, anyway, all countries in the Central Plains recognize it, and at most it is the difference in price.

】

Of course, gold and copper were more widely circulated, one for the upper nobility and the other for the middle and lower classes.

Silver is only used as a precious metal, not as a currency, because silver is too scarce in China and the quality of silver ore is poor, so there is no such condition.

It was not until the Song Dynasty, when the economy was highly developed and a large amount of silver flowed into China, that the status of the currency was gradually stabilized.

Of course, this does not affect the use of silver, just like silk, although it is not a currency, but it is recognized no matter which country it is given, and it is recognized outside of China.

So Zhao Kuo doesn't pick either, anyway, it's not his own mine, what's picky? Dig whatever you can, and dig as much as you can.

Kong Bin and the others left, their steps were a little slow, their eyes were a little dazed, and Zhao Kuo's words were still echoing in their minds.

"The king just said that he can borrow money from the future? Can you still use the money of the six countries? Kong Bin muttered, with his cognition, it was really hard to imagine what kind of means this was.

"I look at the king's expression, it doesn't look like it's fake." Xunzi said in a deep voice.

"And what more army do we need? Directly take all the money of the six countries to Zhao State, what else will the six countries resist? Even an army of 10,000 is enough to sweep through the six countries. Zhao Sheng said.

"How can this method of defying the heavens have no price?" Wei Wuji glared at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng stopped talking for a while, Wei Wuji was right, this kind of mana must have to pay a great price.

"If you want to be strong, you still have to honestly follow the right path. The king knows that if we don't use it, we will only be self-defeating. Xunzi opened his mouth and said, completely dispelling everyone's thoughts.
