The first thousand and twenty-two chapters of the construction of the bank are in progress
For Chen Xi, Liu Bei has always been generous, and he will notice many details that he doesn't pay much attention to. And this kind of details is a sign of kindness for a general like Gan Ning who is ignorant and clumsy.
Gan Ning showed up at Chen Xi's house in a blink of an eye. To put it simply, he didn't go through the front door. However, his behavior is generally not annoying.
"Chen Hou, I'm back!" Gan Ning appeared directly in Chen Xi's main hall like a black shadow, and then said loudly, it was also because he saw the light that he acted like this.
"What is this?" Gan Ning asked casually, looking at the map Chen Xi was rolling up.
Chen Xi sometimes felt that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder. The map drawn on white silk was easy to open, but it was very difficult to roll it up without wrinkles. After Jia Xu and others left, Chen Xi kept going back and forth.
I rolled the map, but there were wrinkles every time, and I had to reroll it in the end.
Han Qiong couldn't stand this kind of behavior that was almost mentally problematic, but she didn't stop Chen Xi's behavior.
"Map." Chen Xi was startled when he saw and heard the voice. When he saw it was Gan Ning, it was too late to roll it up. If he continued to roll it up, it would attract the attention of Gan Ning, a guy who looks vulgar but is actually careful.
stand up.
"Oh." Gan Ning didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at it casually and didn't care. After all, the part of the Central Plains had already been rolled up.
Thanks to Chen Xi who placed the Central Plains at the starting point when he drew the map. If he had placed it in the middle, Gan Ning would have probably seen the traces of the Yangtze River. Even if he didn't react at first, he would have understood later on how to say that every part of the Yangtze River is sweet.
Ning has traveled all over the place, which once belonged to his sphere of influence.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xi casually released the map he was rolling and asked calmly, "Is it possible that the copper has been transported back?"
"Copper worth 1.5 billion yuan has been shipped back. We have built a large number of mines on Luzon Island and are now in production. The output will increase a lot in the future." Gan Ning described the current situation on Luzon Island.
.Made Chen Xi feel at ease a lot.
It was impossible to raise so many prisoners after Cao Cao was captured. After all, there were tens of thousands of strong laborers. Some were stationed in Yizhou, and the rest were transferred to Luzon for mining. After all, there were a small number of native tribes there.
, the population density is also extremely low.
After filling in these people, the mine can be considered open for business. For this reason, Chen Xi also transferred some craftsmen to Luzon and Yizhou. After all, they will serve as a material transfer point and bridgehead. It is a very important strategic point.
"Copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is not bad. The Han Dynasty only produced a few hundred million yuan a year. It is enough as a deposit." Chen Xi nodded.
The Han Dynasty's annual tax revenue is more than 30 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 300 million gold, but the actual minted money is not much, and the copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is enough as a guarantee. If it is really made into money, for Chen Xi
It's really not worth so much money. It's more valuable as a guarantee.
To be honest, Chen Xi originally wanted to establish a gold standard and then issue credit currency, but in this era there is no such basis, Chen Xi does not dare to be too messy, first use copper as a deposit, and wait until enough copper is accumulated to destroy the entire system.
Then use gold as a deposit.
Before that, Chen Xi felt that he might need to work harder and use himself as a credit certificate. This copper worth 1.5 billion yuan was actually just another guarantee. He only used himself as a certificate. What if he missed it? Make some dead money.
.In the event of an accident, it can still be lifted up, and copper, as a hard currency, is enough to solve the problem.
In fact, there was one thing that could be used as hard currency, and that was salt. Unfortunately, Chen Xi was about to stabilize the price of salt. Completely destroy the price of salt, which was as high as 300 yuan per stone, which was twice as expensive as polished rice. This was still Su Shuang
The price after adjusting the salt price with Zhang Shiping is really crazy!
Although salt tax has always been a very important item in national taxation, now due to large-scale manufacturing, the cost of refined salt has been suppressed to a few dollars, and it is forced to sell for nearly a hundred times the profit. Chen Xi feels that if the price is not adjusted,
, I really can’t stand it anymore.
One hundred dollars is Chen Xi's bottom line. He can tolerate higher prices than grain, but you can't go too high. But if he really wants to lower the price of salt to ten dollars, unless Chen Xi guarantees it by force and completely unifies it, otherwise this daily necessities will no longer be available.
If someone monopolizes it, it will be really fatal if the price rises.
As for using grain as a guarantee, it is actually possible. This thing is also hard currency, but the biggest problem with this thing is that the same weight of grain is larger than copper, and it is difficult to transport. Moreover, grain has problems of preservation, so it is quite useless.
Reliable.
"You can escort those copper ingots to the Zhen family courtyard that was vacated before and send someone to take a look at them. It's not that easy to take them away anyway. Remember to pile them up." Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xi's mind.
, after regaining consciousness, he ordered Gan Ning, these things are mainly used to enlighten other aristocratic families.
"Here!" Gan Ning cupped his fists and saluted, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then I'm going to transport the copper ingots over there. I just want to ask, why hasn't the bank opened the shop yet? What happened?"
"Actually, it's not too important. I'll send people to Yizhou, Yangzhou, and Yongzhou to discuss with them the issue of bank distribution." Chen Xi said calmly.
Economic unification should be completed first. As for the reasons given by Chen Xi, it is not certain whether Cao Cao and Sun Ce can agree.
But it doesn't matter. After all, this is just a test. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce don't agree, things that are similar to banks in private will spring up like mushrooms after a rain after the family realizes the convenience of banks, and they can't be stopped at all. And after this proposal,
, Cao Cao and Sun Ce will inevitably do it.
However, the biggest problem is the recognition of the bank built on the reputation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce. In the end, it is inevitable that aristocratic families will get together to establish a bank with the names of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.
When that time comes, as soon as the two banks come into contact, Chen Xi, as the entity of the credit certificate, will be able to turn Cao and Sun's bank into his next bank in seconds. There is no way to stop this kind of thing.
At that time, it is estimated that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will either directly force the bank to push the bank, or they will have to hold their noses and admit it, and then spend a lot of manpower and material resources to monitor the bank without doing anything else.
After all, unlike Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have no way to break away from the aristocratic family. If they really want to forcefully overthrow the aristocratic family group's bank, it is estimated that it will not be far before the two sides break up and play together. Chen Xi is just a greeting in advance. (~^
