However, since Chen Xi has seen too many heartbreaking things since coming to this era, I won’t list them all here. It should be said that the living conditions in ancient times were really very poor, and Chen Xi has been working hard to improve his living standards...
Even Hua Tuo would not refuse any poultry in this situation, especially after he learned how to disinfect it. He even calmly said that after going through strong alcohol, salt water, high temperature, he could eat any kind of meat.
Regarding this point, Chen Xi said that he would not make any comments. People who ate it didn't think there was a problem, so it was better not to comment. What's more, there are many people who haven't seen meat for more than ten years. What else should they care about if they have meat to eat?
After many such things happened, Chen Xi could only watch silently. This was an era of extremely scarce supplies. Chen Xi could only do his best to make the world less poor as possible. He has also been moving towards this
We have worked hard in the right direction, and overall, we are on the right track.
All that's left is to make this road more stable and wider as it goes. That's why Chen Xi hesitates to show Liu Bei the world map. But although he has great confidence in Liu Bei, this kind of involvement
There were too many things going on, so Chen Xi felt that it was better not to be too reckless, just in case something happened!
Ever since Yuan Shao calculated well and made a Xuanyuan Cauldron that almost failed to stabilize, Chen Xi has become completely indifferent to accidents. It is more reassuring that such a major event that affects the future is in his own hands.
While Chen Xi was thinking about whether to show Liu Bei the map, major aristocratic families were thinking about the news that Chen Xi might release tomorrow. They also needed to be prepared. Today's news is already very shocking, but no one knows what the situation will be tomorrow. Naturally
Somewhat uneasy.
Of course, Yuan Shu needs to be eliminated among these people. He ate and drank calmly. After enjoying the delicious food, he rested as if nothing happened. He was not worried at all that he was in the enemy camp and might be killed.
Yuan Shu just ate and drank enough, lay down on the bed and fell asleep carelessly. Ji Ling suffered from this. As Yuan Shu's ultimate supporter, he was very worried about the danger after Yuan Shu's identity was exposed. Although Chen Xi's ambition seemed to overlap with Yuan Shu's at that time.
place, but this overlap does not mean that there will be no conflict. Chen Xi, Chen Xi, and Yuan Shu both know this.
"Huh, I'm finally back. If I were to be delayed any longer, it would be hard to explain to Chen Hou." Gan Ning stood on horseback beside the large hole in the city wall of Ye City and let out a long sigh of relief. He had already collected all the money he needed to make money.
The copper ingots were escorted back, and the huge motorcade behind them was enough to mint billions of copper coins.
"Who is coming?" A sergeant poked his head out from the left side of the crack in the city wall. Gan Ning could clearly see the reflection of the arrows shining behind the soldier's back. Even after occupying Yecheng, an important town in Jizhou, Liu Beijun did not show any signs of trouble.
Relaxation, open sentries, hidden sentries, and patrol personnel still perform their respective duties.
"Administrator of the Navy Gan Xingba arrived at Yecheng on time to return." Gan Ning slowly took three steps back on his horse, indicating that he was in no danger, and then threw out his identity badge.
Soon a large bronze mirror was erected on the city wall opposite Gan Ning. Several torches were placed in front of the bronze mirror. After a few adjustments, Gan Ning was illuminated in the darkness, and the soldiers who knew Gan Ning were specially found.
After confirming their identities, the soldiers below moved left and right to open Ganning into the city.
"General, please enter the city." A young general dressed as a centurion made an invitation gesture, and then guarded the place again without leaving his post without permission.
"Go to Zifang. I need to report to the lord and Marquis Chen. Let him find a place to collect these copper ingots first, and wait for me to come back before proceeding with the next step." Gan Ning said to the soldiers behind him,
It seems that only Mi Fang's management of money and logistics reassured him the most, and she was not greedy at all.
"Here!" After the soldiers clasped their fists, they immediately ran back along the convoy to look for Mi Fang. After Gan Ning ordered Xu Sheng to take care of Mi Fang, he ran towards the place where Liu Bei lived.
"Xingba, you're back so soon." Liu Bei learned that Gan Ning asked for a meeting, so he got dressed and came out again.
"Ning is deeply disturbed by disturbing my lord so late at night." Gan Ning said slightly apologetically.
"You're welcome. It's beyond our expectation that you can come back so soon. According to Zichuan, you should have come back two months later, before the Yellow River froze. I didn't expect it to be so soon." Liu Bei didn't expect it.
He looked at Gan Ning with understanding and said, logically speaking, even if high-quality copper ore is easy to mine and smelt, it is impossible to achieve Chen Xi's goal so quickly.
"Actually, the copper had already been smelted when I went there." Gan Ning smiled and repeated the contribution of Guan Hai and the soldiers to Liu Bei without diminishing it at all. "Therefore, Ning's trip to Yizhou was actually just for transportation.
Rather than actual mining and smelting.”
"I see, it's a lot easier this way. I'm afraid the money made from so many copper ingots should be over a billion dollars, so it's a lot easier." Liu Bei was very satisfied with Guan Hai's approach.
But after saying these words, Liu Bei understood one thing. Once copper coins are measured in hundreds of millions, it will be much more difficult to conduct transactions. And for companies like the Zhen family and the Mi family, the transaction amount is hundreds of millions of dollars.
Even in the past, there were only a few transactions every year, which would really cost you your life.
[No wonder Chen Xi wants to use bills. This is the only way to eliminate the difficulties in transactions through intermediaries. Otherwise, business will always be a small business and there will be no way to support the country's tax revenue. 】
After all, Liu Bei has read a lot of books specially compiled by Chen Xi, and naturally understands the value of business, and he does not mean to look down on it. However, in this era when large transactions are very difficult, it is not only the suppression of the state that prevents business from prospering.
, and the difficulty of the transaction.
It can be said that the emergence of banknotes in the later period greatly reduced the difficulty and risk of commodity transactions. Otherwise, if you want business to prosper, even if the country does not emphasize agriculture and suppress business, the situation of using cars to pull money for transactions will greatly restrict commodity transactions.
Specifications, and commercial transactions do not rise to a certain level, it is simply not enough to support the country's tax revenue.
After thinking about this, Liu Bei once again gained a little more confidence in Chen Xi's plan to use commercial circulation to support taxation, turning the impossible into a possible thing that Chen Xi had been doing all along.
"Xingba, it's not too early now. Go and report the situation to Zichuan now. I'll order someone to prepare a banquet for you. When you come back from Zichuan, I should prepare the banquet.
Zichuan has important government affairs tomorrow, and I'm afraid he won't have time to hold a banquet." After getting the information he should know from Gan Ning, Liu Bei immediately ordered Gan Ning to report to Chen Xi as soon as possible.
