Chen Xi's words were like a basin of water poured directly on Liu Ba's head, leaving him speechless.
"Nowadays, more formal shops will collect bills, and people with a bit of status will also use bills. I have even ordered a batch of 100 yuan bills. Unlike the previous bills, this one only requires a signature. It can be used." Chen Xi looked at Liu Ba and said with a smile.
Chen Xi spent several years establishing a complete credit system. This is the most terrifying part. After Liu Bei's rule, the breakfast shops began to collect bills after confirming that the bank was established by the official and Chen Xi.
Anyway, for the chef at the breakfast shop, just walking a few steps to exchange money and receiving a receipt basically means that this person has to order breakfast for a year. As for those who can’t afford the receipt, who has the brain to order breakfast for a year? breakfast!
Liu Ba looked at Chen Xi silently, and suddenly realized that all the methods he had prepared before were of no value. Chen Xi didn't care at all what he wanted to do, or it should be said that Chen Xi had already plugged all the loopholes.
"Forget it, Zichu, you'd better sit down. It's hard to wait for someone who can see through my arrangement and let me explain it to you, because I'm actually quite bored." Chen Xi saw Liu Ba standing at a loss. When he got up, he raised his hand to comfort him.
It's not that Chen Xi likes Liu Ba or anything, but he knows that Liu Ba will definitely not die in the civil war, and a promising economist is of great practical value to the world. As for others, including Li You, it seems that No financial talent.
Then Chen Xi explained trust, credit money, credit, currency, and deficit to Liu Ba in bits and pieces, regardless of whether Liu Ba understood it or not.
"That's it. There are still some bits and pieces that I want to say that need to be sorted out. It should be enough for you to understand them. As for the other ones, you will extend them if you have the foundation." Chen Xi smiled at Liu Ba said.
At this time, Liu Ba completely lost his previous arrogance and arrogance, and bowed respectfully to Chen Xi. "Aren't you afraid that Marquis Chen will teach me and be controlled by me instead?"
"I'm afraid that what I said before is not something that you need to understand for a while." Chen Xi took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I tell you because I think you are a malleable talent."
"I am a minister of Duke Cao, and you..." At this point Liu Ba paused slightly. "You are considered a friend of Duke Xuande. I'm afraid it's not good to teach Duke Xuande's enemies like this."
"Hahaha, Zichu, you still have such thoughts." Chen Xi laughed and said, "Don't worry. Mr. Xuande doesn't care about these things. I am actually in charge of government affairs and finance. Mr. Xuande is in charge of military affairs. I am Han Si Nong, Xuande Gong was a Han Taiwei, and Cao Mengde was a Han Sikong."
Liu Ba was silent for a moment, then said respectfully, "I'm afraid that Chen Hou's heart is not in line with Xuande Gong's. The supreme position is so easy to get, who can hold it?"
"This is none of your business." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, "But you are indeed very suitable for those things before. It's a pity that you didn't come to Xuande Gong, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about money. , it’s all up to you.”
Liu Ba has heard what Chen Xi is saying, but unfortunately his heart belongs to Cao Cao after all, and he can only reject Chen Xi's solicitation.
"Cao Gong treated me very well and couldn't bear to betray me." Liu Ba did not leave any room for change. The voice was not high, but extremely firm.
"Yeah, not bad." Chen Xi nodded slowly. There are always some courtiers whose loyalty makes you admire them.
"It's all about money and food. It really goes deeper than I originally thought." Liu Ba sighed and said, "As taught by you, I will definitely face you one day, so please don't show mercy to Chen Hou. , just what you are teaching me now is enough to increase Duke Cao’s overall strength by several percent. Isn’t Marquis Chen afraid that the time will come when the time comes?"
At this time, Liu Ba also understood that Liu Bei's foundation was probably much stronger than what he saw, but he was very puzzled by Chen Xi's approach. This was an enemy!
"Don't be afraid." Chen Xi said with a sigh, and then started talking about financial loopholes, which made Liu Ba sweat. Then Chen Xi spread his hands, "That's it, it depends on how you use it. If you use it, I can use it." Cao Mengde even pawned his clothes for fun, so he could only barter."
Liu Ba was silent. He suddenly realized that his methods of competing with Chen Xi were no different from those of children. To put it another way, you were still using purple equipment. You thought your opponent would use divine equipment most, but in the end you found that your opponent was already using code. , this is not on the same level at all.
"Okay, I've said almost what I need to say." Chen Xi looked at Liu Ba who was dripping with cold sweat with a smile, and tried to bluff Liu Ba to make him stop his opportunistic thoughts and just act like a banker.
Anyway, after the bank is in place, while Cao Cao's side will increase the construction speed by 20%, Liu Bei's side will increase the construction speed by 50%. If this can still be overtaken, then Chen Xi can only say that Xun Yu is the third best. Lu Su and himself.
"Thank you Chen Hou for your teachings. After Ba returns to Chang'an, he will definitely manage the bank well." Liu Ba sighed and looked a little sad. He had lost his desire to win. He could just do what he should do after returning to Chang'an. As for the intrigues He didn't care about the matter anymore.
"Zi Chu, after returning to Chang'an, when you see Cao Sikong, remember to bring me a sentence, saying that I asked him who belongs to this world and let him think more about it." Chen Xi knew Liu Ba's expression when he saw him. idea, so he said with a smile.
"Okay, I will definitely bring this to Duke Cao." Liu Ba nodded and couldn't help but curse what Chen Xi wanted to say.
After saying that, Chen Xi picked up the tea cup again. The method this time was obviously different from before. It was an obvious method of serving tea to guests. Liu Ba would have ignored this before, but this time Chen Xi taught him There were so many things, so I left with great regret.
Watching Liu Ba leave, Sun Ce's side didn't have much of a problem. Yuan Shu had made peace. As long as Sun Ce was sure that he had failed completely, he would most likely surrender for the sake of his family and his subordinates.
In addition, Sun Ce was the only monarch among all the monarchs in this era except Liu Bei who knew the importance of the people. Therefore, except for the massacre of the Lu family in Lujiang to vent his anger, he had never done anything to vent his anger and massacre the city. Based on this, Chen Xi was still willing to appreciate it.
In other words, the only one left is Cao ****, one of the quintessential figures of this era, but unlike Sun Ce, Chen Xi is really not sure of being convinced by Cao Cao. All he can do is to slowly explore this path. .
If Cao Cao still regards the people of the Central Plains as nothing in the past three years, Chen Xi can only ruthlessly push Cao Cao away, and Cao Cao will kidnap the people and coerce him. (To be continued.)
