Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 693 Anchor
There was loud drumbeats outside the box.

The bright lights are like a sea of ​​orange.

Lu Gang closed the window, and the room suddenly became quiet, cut off from the noise.

The little mirage dragon flew back and forth, passing by everyone's eyes.

"Why did it get smaller?"

Walk around the long pine tree and measure its size using the number of steps.

Tell the truth.

The box was indeed exquisite, with all the fruits peeled and the incense burning in the burner smelling even better. The only drawback was that it was not as big as the one in Pingyang Prefecture. It was marked as a box for ten people, but it seemed a bit small.

"It's a different time now." The watermelon was carved into the shape of birds and beasts. Xu Zishuai cut off a phoenix head and put it in his mouth, then cut another piece to feed the third prince. "How can Pingyang Prefecture compare with the imperial capital? Every inch of land in the imperial capital is worth a lot of money.

Without the Grandmaster, we are lucky to have a room for ten people. Master said that maybe we can reach the fourth level. Hmm, this watermelon is good. Come and have a taste, Junior Brother."

"Where do watermelons grow in such a cold weather?"

"Why worry so much? It's delicious, come on, share the melon!"

"Does the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce pay dividends to the imperial court every year?"

Liang Qu sat on the Arhat bed, took the watermelon and chatted with Lu Jia who had not left yet.

"There is no question of whether or not to distribute the profits. When the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce is in trouble, the royal family and even the imperial court will help. When the royal family and the imperial court need help, the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce will do the same, and even do its best."

Lu Jia never concealed the relationship between the two parties.

Everyone in the capital who is powerful and influential knows the ins and outs of this.

Liang Qu, the youngest tiger hunter master of Dashun, was a hereditary baron, an eighteen-year-old official of the fifth rank.

I dare not say that I have reached the level of Martial Saint, but it is certain that I have reached the level of Grandmaster, and I have already stepped into the realm of knowledge.

It’s just that due to the lack of family inheritance, there are many things I don’t ask about and no one comes to tell me.

Many things are common sense and consensus in the circle, but for example, there is no book specifically writing about how to open your eyes and close them. If you don’t encounter it and don’t ask, no one will mention it at all.

"What would the court need? Ask the Chamber of Commerce to search for treasures?"

Liang Qu was surprised.

No matter which aspect, the imperial court is always better than the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce, right?
Lu Jia thought about it and took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

"Mr. Liang, what do you think this is?"

"silver."

"Be more general."

"More general?" Liang Qu hesitated for a long time, unable to guess what Lu Jia meant.

"Perhaps my hint was inaccurate and Sir Liang misunderstood. This thing is actually just a piece of stone."

Liang Qu nodded, indicating that he understood, and let Lu Jia continue.

Lu Jia then pointed to the withered and flourishing lotus flowers on the table.

"Why can stones buy treasure plants?"

"Because people need to trade, one person cannot farm, weave, make furniture, and go fishing at the same time, so there needs to be a general equivalent, and gold and silver are the most suitable."

"General equivalent?" Lu Jia was stunned. "What Lord Liang said is quite appropriate, but the ancient dynasties long ago did not recognize gold and silver because they were completely useless.

For example, in the ancient Dali Dynasty, the martial arts practitioners in the territory were called Qi Refiners. There was no distinction between states and prefectures in the territory, but rather between sects. They were extremely independent and ordinary people were all slaves.

The so-called Dali Dynasty is actually the most powerful sect called the Dali Tianhuo Sect, which can control all the sects in the world.

Once a mortal enters a sect and begins to practice cultivation, they will no longer have any dealings with ordinary people. When they trade with each other, they all use basic cultivation elixirs, such as the Qi-boosting and Qi-benefiting elixirs we use today. Between sects, it is almost normal for you to kill me and I to kill you."

"Where's the food? Qi cultivators need to eat, right? The two are in circulation, so why don't you recognize gold and silver?"

"Master Liang, all mortals are slaves. Do cultivators need to pay for food? Just keep a bunch of them in captivity and let them farm."

Liang Qu was silent.

“So at that time, practitioners and ordinary people used two completely different sets of currencies. Ordinary people used ordinary people’s currency, and practitioners used practitioners’ currency.

No one thought it was wrong, and it was even convenient. However, according to records in ancient books, the scale of warriors and top masters in the Dali Dynasty at that time were far inferior to those of today.

There are many reasons for this, and many old scholars have published many books, each with their own reasons. There is no definitive answer. Some say it is because the sects have changed into prefectures, and some say it is because of different systems. But there is a basic consensus, that is, there are more people, more civilians, so there are more warriors, and more warriors, so there are more martial masters, and more martial masters, so there are more grand masters and martial saints, and everyone has become stronger. "

Liang Qu nodded.

"soil."

"Yes, it's the soil! Lord Liang has a profound insight!" Lu Jia praised him highly.

Not difficult to understand.

The warrior society is actually a pyramid structure.

Ordinary society still has the concept of ellipse, but the spiritual society cannot do it at all.

Therefore, the wider the bottom layer, the larger the entire pyramid structure will be, and the brighter the top will be.

There are many sects, and inside each sect there are small pyramids. The well-developed pyramids occupy more resources and absorb nutrients, and gradually eliminate the backward pyramids.

Institutions, like animals, will see the survival of the fittest and natural selection.

No matter how high you are, you can't be separated from the masses in essence.

"Mr. Lu, continue."

“There is no end to cultivation. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot guarantee that he will remain powerful forever. No younger generation will surpass him, unless he kills them. He will kill every genius he can.

But people always make mistakes, and killing is impossible to be complete. No one is born bloodthirsty, and even if there are, they are only a minority.

Therefore, in the end, they will eventually turn towards stable unity, form a family, a clan, a sect, and a dynasty, and sleep soundly and eat heartily.

The ancient dynasties isolated themselves from ordinary people into two different worlds, which was actually digging their own graves.

Even a strong army like Dashun would have two rivals, Beiting and Nanjiang, and would not dare to slack off. If the current Dashun was the same as the Dali in the past, it would definitely not be able to defeat Beiting.

Therefore, the biggest role of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce throughout the state capital is to help sell precious plants and stabilize the value of silver, so that silver can be circulated smoothly by everyone from the Martial Saint to the ordinary people.

The common people can buy precious plants, and the imperial court can also buy precious plants by collecting taxes from the common people."

"Interesting." Xu Zishuai's eyes flashed.

It is definitely a good thing that the common people can buy precious plants, but the court benefits the most.

Because after everyone accepted it, the imperial court could also buy it with silver.

Liang Qu thought more deeply.

Previously, the lowest class was composed of warriors, but now they have become ordinary people. The overall efficiency of wealth circulation has undoubtedly expanded more than ten times.

After becoming a sect of the ancient dynasty, if one sect behaves in this way and makes progress, it will naturally want to annex the mountain, and slowly everyone will have to follow suit and assimilate...

The white mist is floating.

Lu Jia poured a cup of tea.

"At present, in fact, the Grandmaster realm can be barely stabilized. Although the denominations of silver are large, it is still common. But it is more difficult to reach the Martial Saint realm.

I believe Lord Liang has heard that the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce has auctioned the Heaven and Earth Qi, but the main auction method is still barter. Many masters do not want silver, but only want the elixir that can increase their cultivation. "

Liang Qu understood completely.

No wonder there is always a Tianbo Chamber of Commerce in every state, no matter how poor it is.

Pingyang County was renamed Pingyang Prefecture and one was immediately built.

A disguised form of price anchoring.

It can even open up an upward channel for ordinary people.

"What time is it? The auction should be starting soon." Lu Jia looked up.

Hu Qi pushed open the window.

The host's voice came from outside.

"The first lot is Tianlong Gold, a material for Xuanbing. The starting price is two thousand taels! Each bid increase must not be less than five hundred taels!"

"Just right, I didn't miss it."
