Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 961 Minting coins
"Why are you notifying us?" Liu Ye, who had learned about Chen Zhen's news, also rushed over, just in time to hear Fazheng's words, so he took up the conversation with a smile and asked back.

"At least be clear!" Fazheng said resentfully, "By the way, I'm getting married soon, are your gifts ready?"

"Two bottles of self-brewed wine were ready when I accepted you as my junior." Guo Jia answered smoothly.

"It's really stingy." Fazheng glanced at Guo Jia contemptuously, but in fact he was quite satisfied. Although Guo Jia's self-brewed wine didn't know whether it tasted good or not, at least the friendship was enough!

"Then how about I give you a pair of golden suanni?" Guo Jia curled his lips, and his style dropped a lot.

"So stingy." Fazheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Guo Jia with extreme displeasure.

"Okay, stop bickering, guess what Zichuan wants to announce at the end of the year?" Liu Ye brought back the topic that Fazheng had distorted.

"It's better not to worry about it. Although he doesn't want to admit it in terms of general government affairs, no one can deny that he has an extremely long-term vision in government affairs." Li You directly curbed this topic.

Li You didn't want to be aroused by curiosity, after all, if he was really interested, he would ask, but he would tell Chen Xi as long as he asked.

Based on Li You's understanding of Chen Xi, there is a high possibility that he will conflict with his cognition in the future, and then the previous incident where a group of people disagree, and finally Chen Xi knocks them all down is really too disharmonious .

"I don't think we should care about the general affairs of the government. We can just do our things well. Zichuan will solve the matter of Zichuan by himself." Lu Su directly cut off the budding. What a shame.

Unlike Liu Ye and Chen Xi who had a direct conflict in secret, the others at most just watched from the sidelines and did not end directly. As for Liu Ye, although he did not end that time, he contributed to the flames. This is the difference.

"I'm really just curious..." Liu Ye said helplessly.

"What are you curious about..." Chen Xi didn't hear the previous words, stepped into the door and heard Liu Ye's curiosity, so he asked back.

"I'm curious about what political strategy you want to release at the end of the year." Liu Ye hurriedly said, but Lu Su didn't stop him, and looked at Chen Xi, and the others were also curious.

"What's wrong with minting coins and special drawing rights?" Chen Xi answered casually.

When Chen Zhen sent a letter to Taishan, he also sent someone to notify all the senior officials in Yecheng, but the generals had already gone to Jizhou to clean up the bandits, and Liu Bei went out for a stroll, so Chen Xi was the last one to arrive.

As for Xu Shu, he also has good martial arts skills, and he also brought 500 people to suppress the bandits.

"Coining?" Everyone's face turned black, how much they wanted to scold people, in the Han Dynasty you wanted to mint standard five baht coins, and the cost of casting sixty-seven million yuan was 700 million yuan, and the general country was not strong enough to a certain level, resolutely There is no such thing as coining money.

"Well, it's really time for us to mint money." Li You said slowly after thinking for a moment, and Jizhou also has copper mines, so it is indeed time to mint some coins to prove our strength.

But Li You ignored the special drawing right with a single sentence, and the others only paid attention to the minting of coins, and didn't think about other things. On the contrary, it made Chen Xi talk less nonsense.

"Well, what level of money is minted?" Lu Su asked with a sigh.

It is inevitable to mint money. When the power develops to a certain level, it must be minted to improve the people's recognition of the power. However, minting money means a loss. A loss of about 40.00% is enough to be entangled when you think about it.

"Five baht coins!" Chen Xi said proudly. The five baht coins minted during the peak period of the Han Dynasty were highly recognized and could still be used until the Tang Dynasty. This is the advantage of heavy money!
"The cost is too high, and if you mint five baht coins, everyone in the world will use them. We can't make enough." Jia Xu covered his face and said, five baht coins are not fake, even if the text on them is blurred False, the money only depends on weight.

"It's for people all over the world." Chen Xi pouted and said, "I'll know when I look back, and I don't know how Xingba is preparing now. It took a lot of time without the chart for the first time. After that Probably not."

In fact, Chen Xi didn't know that Gan Ning knew that it was a strategically important place after returning to Luzon Island for the first time. After Guan Hai went to Yizhou, Gan Ning asked him to use Qiongzhou as a springboard to go back and forth between Luzon and Yizhou. Collect copper ore.

A large amount of copper ore was smelted into bronze nuggets in Luzon Island, and then escorted by Guan Hai to Yizhou for storage. After more than a dozen round trips, Yizhou has already deposited thousands of tons of small copper nuggets.

Think about eight tons of copper per cubic meter, and because bronze has a higher density of tin and lead, in fact, thousands of tons of bronze blocks are melted together, and the length, width and height are less than ten meters...

However, these are also the main materials used by Chen Xi to cast money in the future. Anyway, they are not his own things, and Chen Xi is not afraid of wasting them. After all, compared with bronze smelting and casting, China seems to have always been at the pinnacle of history.

As for those Gan Ning soldiers who stayed in Luzon back then, they have now realized that they are very indifferent to money. Anyone who looks at the money under their feet every day does not know whether it is tens of billions or hundreds of billions of money. It will take a long time. If you lose money, you will lose motivation. There is no place to buy things in this ghost place, and it is useless to take copper.

Although Chen Xi didn't know that the copper for making money was ready, but he knew that he had an island that produced a lot of copper for him to squander, so making money was a must.

However, before starting to mint money, Chen Xi needs to fix the value of the coin, which can appreciate and depreciate, but absolutely cannot let the aristocratic family have the final say. For those guys who don't even understand the laws of economics, the currency must be calculated by the official!

"Casting this, we lost a lot. 1000 million yuan of copper can only be casted to 650 million yuan. This is still the cost of large-scale manufacturing in the country. If we have done research in this area, I am afraid it is only so much." Liu Ye said helplessly that he did not stop Chen Xi, after all it was time to make money.

"So we need to find all the aristocratic families. We need to define the value of each five baht coin, fix the market price, and maintain the stability of some material things." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The prices of daily necessities such as food, salt, and cloth must be within In our control, this is related to long-term stability."

"Rich and poor can't be eliminated, all we have to do is make sure that the poorest have at least something to eat and clothes to wear, and as long as we can do that, no, as long as we can roughly do that, our system is invulnerable Yes." Chen Xi swept across the crowd and said with a smile on his face.

Although this is not entirely true, before certain awareness of rights and interests is not awakened, this system can maintain long-term stability for at least 500 years according to Chen Xi's estimation!
