There are many types of spiritual stones, and their reserves are also very rich. Compared with other heavenly materials and earthly treasures, spiritual stones are considered the most basic cultivation resources.
The previous trade transactions between major sects were often settled through spirit stones. If the turnover was not available, the simplest barter would be carried out.
In the final analysis, monks and immortals who are transcendent from mortals cannot escape the worldly trap.
"The secret mining of spiritual stones has made good progress recently. Many smaller spiritual stones have been unearthed sporadically. By the end of the month, they should be officially produced," Lian Zixin reported.
He is well aware of the important role of spiritual stones in Yongtai City. Firstly, it enhances the military strength, and secondly, it anchors the white paper.
As long as the edible food is established and the whole world believes that this thing is equivalent to the spiritual stone, Yongtai City will control massive wealth based on this.
For example, a white paper bill can only be exchanged for one spiritual stone. Even though Yongtai City only has ten yuan in hand, it can still print and issue twelve white paper bills.
These two extra bills are profits made out of nothing. As long as they are not run by everyone in the world at the same time, Yongtai City will exchange a piece of white paper for boxes of real gold and silver.
Robbery and stealing money are fast, but is it as fast as printing money?
Of course, this approach is very short-sighted and should not be taken too far, and there are many concerns about its implementation.
The main reason why Chentian prints banknotes is to consider providing funds to stimulate a fuller flow of social wealth and at the same time allow all walks of life to expand.
Yongtai City occupies the hugely profitable salt and iron industry and has made a lot of money, but the mineral deposits will eventually be exhausted. It is always right to open up the stalls in time to carry out industrial transformation and upgrading.
The Liusha Chamber of Commerce has collapsed, leaving only the Beicaoxi Caravan Company. Now is a good opportunity to expand.
Both sides of the Chang River have been protected by the Yongtai Navy, but the downstream water is still under the control of Gusu City. If Pingmuguan is captured, the caravan can even make money along the river to the wider banks of the Anjiang River.
The cost of transportation by water is much lower than that by land. A large ship can carry ten thousand stones, which even a hundred green oxen cannot keep up with.
Gusu City's force is not good, but its commerce is very developed. If you want to completely conquer it and continue to produce benefits for yourself, just conquering it by force is useless.
"Godly Lord."
"speak."
"How to determine the face value of these banknotes?" Lian Zixin wondered.
"The spirit stone veins are not there yet. Let's link them to gold and silver first. Twelve taels will be the basis, and slowly add upwards. You have to study this process carefully. Too big or too small will not be conducive to circulation. Let's discuss it with the Beicaoxi caravan.
Bar."
"Understood, Weizhi will promote banknotes within government offices. It happens that salaries are paid tomorrow. We can start here, and then promote it to semi-government organizations, and eventually spread it to all people."
"Very good." Chen Tian nodded, "The popularity of banknotes is only due to credibility. You must be careful about counterfeit banknotes."
"Not only do you need to promulgate strict laws, but you also need to consciously improve the craftsmanship of banknotes. You can completely leave the design of anti-counterfeiting runes to the elders of the Twelve Symbols."
"Okay." Lian Zixin accepted the order, "I will prepare a document later and finalize the preliminary details."
Chen Tian waved his hand: "Okay, okay, this matter is not urgent. You go back and have a good night's sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Haha, how can we not be anxious about leaving a name for the ages?" Lianzi Xin said with a smile.
His feeling was right.
In fact, there have been money banks in Cangxi for a long time, but the banknotes circulating are actually similar to deposit receipts and can be cashed in different places.

However, the circulation function is far inferior to the banknotes designed by Chen Tian, and the scope of use is limited to a few aristocratic families, which is better than nothing.
If Yongtai banknotes are really popular all over the world, it will definitely be a feat recorded in history, and Lianzi Xin will definitely be on the list.
This was quite a temptation for him.
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, the meeting quickly ended. The night was getting dark, and the silver moon shone through the lattice windows and cast a clear light on the ground.
Chentian finished reviewing the pile of official documents and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps outside the door, and there were sporadic noises from time to time.
"Sect Master, don't lie here!"
"I'm not drunk-"
"Ah, yes, yes."
"You can take a bite too."
"Farewell, farewell, it's not good for people to laugh at you."
"That means you are drunk... vomit!"
Hearing the earth-shattering vomit, Chen Tian frowned, opened the door and saw that it was Tong Ruoran and Nan Lu.
Tong Ruoran was drunk, her temples were disheveled, and she had to wear a pair of purple blouses with hemlocks and branch patterns to look like a torn sack. There was no luxury at all. The colorful embroidered silk shawl on her arms had been trampled on, making it as messy as water weeds.
.
It was so painful that Nan Lu had to help her pick up clothes everywhere, and had to hide from her vomit from time to time, which made her face look like she was about to cry.
"God!"
"Come on!"
"How much did she drink?" Chen Tian helplessly held down Tong Ruoran's hands and unbuttoned his collar to let some air flow, "Someone poured wine into her?"
"No, the sect leader seemed to be in a particularly high mood today. The aunts didn't toast much, so the sect leader drank most of the jug by himself." Nan Lu pried open Tong Ruoran's fingers and grabbed the jug.
Tong Ruoran made it clear that he had drunk too much and was unconscious. Although he could not move his hands, he raised his head and put it on the tip of Chen Tian's nose:
"Yo!"
"My little brother is so handsome!"
"..." Chen Tian was stunned, is this still the previous sect leader with a fairy spirit? She looks like a female hooligan?
Nan Lu burst into laughter, but felt bad, so she immediately stopped her voice and explained:
"The sect leader was drunk and had already returned to the Changqiu Hall of Xianyin Pavilion. But when he saw the deity's clothes, he suddenly started clamoring to find the deity again, talking about you all the way."
"Leave her to me. You should go to bed early." Chen Tian said goodbye to Nan Lu, hugged Tong Ruoran across his waist, and walked towards the bedroom.
Under the moonlight.
The magnolia grandiflora outside the verandah is in full bloom.
As the wind chimes on the eaves moved in the wind, the hazy night gradually became long and graceful. After passing the Zhu Pavilion and going down to the Qihu, Chentian heard the murmuring in his arms.
"Sir, please don't leave, okay?"
"Um."
"Cangxi's northern territory is so vast, can't thousands of beauties still tie you down?"
Chen Tian was silent, holding her in his arms without saying a word, and walked into the bedroom just to wash her up, without saying a word for a long time.
"I'm so happy today!"
"No one recognized me before, and felt that even if the Xianyin Pavilion fell into my hands, it would inevitably decline. But now, the thirty-six sects in the Northern Territory also have a place for the Xianyin Pavilion."
"Even."
"Those aunts and wives who married into good families eventually had to return to Xianyin Pavilion for refuge. The earth-shaking changes made them stunned!"
As he talked, tears fell from Tong Ruoran's eyes, crying and laughing at the same time.
Seven hundred years ago, she was just a little girl who was born in the countryside and didn't know anything about the world. But after all kinds of setbacks, she finally ascended to the position of sect leader.
During this period, major forces came and went, and came and went. She led Xianyin Pavilion, which was full of female relatives who did not know martial arts, to where it is today. Only she knew all the suffering.
But today.
Xianyin Pavilion is backed by Yongtai City, and Luo Luo generously invited the female family members to come back to visit their relatives. It can be said that they are in opposition to the Yin family in the Northern Territory.
She had never dreamed of doing this before, let alone receiving a toast from her aunt and wife.
Chentian couldn't help but smile. According to this situation, why would half a bottle of wine be needed? Even half a glass would make her intoxicated.
