The blade is gone, and after checking it for almost a month, I can't find out where it is, so I can only rebuild it.

But as soon as it was built, the problem came, there was no copper.

But if there is still raw copper left in the palace, who will compromise and let the king melt the bronze of the first king to cast money?

It has been so long since the charcoal was purchased, and the bronzes in the palace have been melted, and if it goes on like this, you have to take action at the ritual vessels of the temple!

No way, let's requisition.

In the homes of the people, there were many bronze vessels.

But some can be requisitioned, but they are still stretched.

After all, the entire Chaoge arsenal is gone, and the number of blades needed is not a small amount.

As a result, the price of copper has soared after the price of carbon.

After the requisition in the palace, some people in the market began to buy all kinds of bronze utensils at high prices, and the people began to rummage around their homes, and all the bronze utensils were sold.

In this way, the palace can't requisition things, after all, the people's homes really don't have bronzes.

The nobles have, but they can not be requisitioned to the nobles.

They must have done the work of buying bronzes, but they were strange goods, hoarded them, and refused to circulate them to the market.

For a time, the government and the opposition shook.

The arsenal of blades is frightening, but what is even more terrifying is the shortage of raw copper and the silent confrontation of the aristocracy.

The civil and military officials all felt that something was wrong, this was the nobles of Chaoge showing their ability.

Didn't the king be jealous of them? Didn't he let them do business? Didn't he raise the price of charcoal?

Then they will aggressively raise the price of copper!

But knowing this, the courtiers did not shout and kill the nobles.

Conventional habitual thinking told them that the nobility had this right.

In fact, there were many courtiers who did not want to see the king of Su take action against the nobles.

The princes have already shown their disobedience, and if they persecute the nobles more, they will really become alone, and it will be difficult for the court to rely on loyal ministers to maintain it.

However, Zishou is not worried about this.

The absence of copper is a problem, but not a big problem.

Didn't the people all put their money into the bank?

Just go directly to Zhao Gongming.

If you don't give a forced loan, you can make an IOU at most.

As for the people, when they withdraw money, they can't withdraw the money, so they start scolding, which just happens to be the son of the heart, and send it to mediocrity!

Anyway, this money was originally given to the people by himself, and now he gets it back, and he doesn't have the slightest psychological burden.

.............

In Qianzhuang, Zhao Gongming, Yao Shaosi, Chen Jiugong, Xiao Sheng, and Cao Bao were sitting together, and the five of them were sitting side by side, as if they were just sitting there, and they could see a burst of jewels.

Xiao Sheng worried: "In this life, copper has reached the point where there is no market, and the nobles have hoarded copper but are unwilling to sell it, and they sit back and watch the price of copper rise, and the palace has no choice but to borrow money from the bank.....

Cao Bao was helpless: "Although this money was originally given to the people by His Majesty to buy charcoal and establish a letter, but in this way, when the people redeem it and find that there is no money to take, the letter will disappear into nothing." ”

Zhao Gongming shook his head again and again: "What can I do? In troubled times, the army armor can't fight with stones!"

Zhao Gongming is well versed in the war of the Great Tribulation, as soon as the gods are opened, the immortals can fight between them, but the final fight still depends on mortals to fight, if all the soldiers of the merchant army are on the battlefield with stone knives and wooden spears, then don't fight, surrender.

Yao Shaosi was silent.

Chen Jiugong had an idea: "Your Majesty's melting bronze to cast money is criticized, and the reason for correcting it is just a little disrespectful to the previous king, but these things are Your Majesty's, how to deal with it depends on Your Majesty's mind, the most important thing is that the value of a bronze is far higher than the copper needed to cast bronze." ”

"Just like the high price of copper, doesn't it mean that the bronze is melted and minted into money, and it is not so wasted?"

Thinking about it this way, there is some truth, but isn't this a fool's self-comfort?

The price of copper is not blindly rising, it is deliberately hoarded by the nobles, but the price is inflated, except that the imperial court must have copper to cast blades, whoever takes the price of copper seriously, who is a fool.

"Jiugong, go on. ”

Zhao Gongming was very interested, although his two disciples were not good at mana cultivation, they liked to drill camps, especially in business, and they were extremely interested, and there must be some truth.

Chen Jiugong immediately said: "The disciple thinks that a large number of caravans are traveling, and as a result, the price of raw copper is about to plummet in the near future, and everything will be self-defeating. ”

Xiao Sheng frowned: "What?"

Cao Bao also said: "But those caravans are all aristocratic caravans, and if they are complicit, even if they buy copper mines, they will inevitably continue to hoard." ”

Yao Shaosi's eyes lit up: "No! someone must be selling!"

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled.

Yao Shaosi explained: "The nobles formed caravans, and when they saw the high price of charcoal a while ago, they looked for a source of goods, and even bought Shi Ni as a substitute for charcoal. ”

"The price of Shi Ni and charcoal has not fallen, because there have always been people in the palace who buy charcoal at a constant price, but this is not the case with copper. ”

"Your Majesty has put his hand into the bank, and he will no longer buy it in the market, and the caravans will see that the price of copper remains high, they will look around like charcoal, looking for supplies, and finally a steady stream of raw copper will be transported into the court, which will break the situation that raw copper has no price, and then, the price of copper will return to where it should be, I think, as long as the caravan returns to Chaoge, the price of copper will experience a sharp fall, even if there are nobles still hoarding goods, but the price will not be too high. ”

Cao Bao asked again: "Where does raw copper come from? Charcoal can be fired by everyone, and wood can be cut everywhere, but copper is not so easy to find." ”

Chen Jiugong said suddenly: "North." ”

Yao Shaosi nodded: "That's right, among the mining areas in the north, the output is not only Shini, most of them also have copper mines, and the mining area is opened by the Northwest Protectorate, since the Shini mine can be found, can't the copper ore be found? If the copper ore is excavated, can it not be handed over to the imperial court?"

"Even so, it's not enough...."

Chen Jiugong took over and said, "Just a little bit is enough." ”

"Are the nobles really united? Are all the nobles really hoarding raw copper, and will everyone continue to stock up on huge profits without being moved?"

"As long as Your Majesty is firm and uncompromising, when the copper mine is transported back to Chaoge, it will be the time when the matter is resolved. ”

"The world is bustling for profit, the nobles know that the price of copper is inflated, and when they see that there is a copper mine in the northwest capital, they will understand that the price of copper will fall sooner or later, and they will make money early. ”

"Your Majesty opened a palace market in Shanglin Garden, and through the children of the nobles in the palace market, it has subtly influenced various nobles, and many people have business thinking, which is profitable, and they will definitely make a move..."

Zhao Gongming seemed to have caught something, and said, "Keep talking." ”

Chen Jiugong continued: "I studied the relationship between buyers and sellers with Shaosi, according to the four cities of Shanglin Yuan Palace and Chaoge, sellers and buyers are actually the relationship between supply and demand, once the supply and demand are out of balance, it will lead to a sharp rise or a sharp fall, but it will eventually return to stability. ”

Xiao Sheng asked, "Why is that?"

Chen Jiugong was stunned, and Yao Shaosi couldn't figure it out.

They don't know why, but according to observations, that's the truth.

After a while, Cao Bao said: "If it is serious, I am afraid that it will not be long before everything will fall apart, but I heard that Your Majesty is going to have a banquet for the nobles, will you not be able to withstand the pressure and want to compromise with the nobles..."

Zhao Gongming said with a straight face: "If this is the turning point, Your Majesty must understand that it was Your Majesty himself who first implemented commerce!"
