"It's not worth anything." It was just Wu Nian's joke, but Kyogoku Yukiri nodded and said, "That's what the general said. Silver is worthless."
“Even copper, ginseng, and dongzhu are not valuable.”
Li Tianbao raised his head and looked at Kyogoku Xueli in surprise. This tone was really loud. These things are all truly valuable, hard currency.
"How do you say this?" Wu Nian also raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.
"The really valuable things are porcelain, tea, and silk from the Chu Kingdom." A solemn look appeared on Kyogoku Yuki's delicate and white face. Then her eyes moved and she said: "Please think about it, general. Tea is grown in the ground, and it is cultivated in Chu State."
"Porcelain is also made of clay."
"Silk can also be said to be grown in the ground."
"Although ginseng, Dongzhu, and copper are valuable, they may not be in large quantities, or they may not be regenerated. The Chu State exchanged tea, porcelain, and silk for Goguryeo and Fusang for large sums of silver."
"The general said. Are they the valuable ones?"
Wu Nian was speechless for a moment, but after thinking about it deeply, he couldn't help but slap his thigh. What Kyogoku Yukiri said was so right.
Special code.
In his previous life.
Before the rise of the great powers, the Yan Han Dynasty absorbed the world's silver and gold with tea, silk, and ceramics that could be grown from the soil.
It has become the country with the largest storage of silver and gold in the world.
One fresh trick, eaten all over the world.
Really eat all over the place.
And if maritime trade is liberalized and a world-class military power is maintained. Yanhan's conditions are actually the most generous in the world.
For example, the United States pegs the U.S. dollar to oil, making the U.S. dollar the world currency. By continuously issuing additional U.S. dollars, it can alleviate domestic conflicts and absorb the wealth of the world.
Then we, Yanhan, can use the largest amount of silver and gold as credit, use strong military power as protection, link tea, ceramics, and silk with currency, issue Yanhan coins, and become a world currency.
Wu Nian couldn't help but feel excited. What business is the most profitable?
Maritime trade?
Silk Road?
Not at all.
Direct issuance of currency is the most profitable.
But Wu Nian only felt a little excited and soon calmed down. It is too early to talk about issuing currency now.
With his credibility and the prestige of the Han general's mansion, it is certainly enough. People will also admit it, but the scale is too small.
No matter what, we have to wait until Liaodong is unified before we talk about issuing currency.
"General, general?" Kyogoku Yuki noticed that Wu Nian was absent-minded and couldn't help but call out twice. She was a little curious.
You know what she looks like.
After she walked in, Wu Nian didn't take another look. And Wu Nian, like this, was temporarily absent-minded. What was he thinking?
"Huh?" Wu Nian recovered his thoughts and looked up at Kyogoku Yukiri.
"What does the general seem to have thought of?" Kyogoku Yuki asked tentatively.
"I thought of something." Wu Nian nodded and admitted, but did not say it out loud. Then he smiled and said to Kyogoku Yuki: "Ms. Kyogoku's eyes are really vicious and she can hit the nail on the head. I have learned a lesson."
Kyogoku Yuki felt like she had a little deer hiding in her heart, and she was very curious about the world.
He must have thought of something, something important. And it must be related to business. But he won't tell me.
But Yuki Kyogoku didn't feel comfortable asking, so he said modestly, "The general's words are serious."
Wu Nian talked a lot with Kyogoku Yuki, but they were limited to business matters. Kyogoku Yuki does have an extraordinary vision when it comes to business.
Until the end of the conversation, Kyogoku Yuki said nothing else. It seemed that he really just came to present five thousand taels of silver and discuss business issues with Wu Nian.
In front of the Fuhan General's Mansion. Wu Nian and Li Tianbao stood under the door, watching Kyogoku Xueli get into the sedan chair, and left here surrounded by Fuso warriors.
"What do you think?" Wu Nian withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Li Tianbao, and asked.
"I still think she must have a purpose. Maybe she is just in the planning stage." Li Tianbao thought for a moment and said.
Anyway. No one would give away five thousand taels of silver for free.
Even if it's "not valuable".
"Yeah." Wu Nianshen nodded in agreement.
"General. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." After a while, Li Tianbao bent down and clasped his fists at Wu Nian.
"Go." Wu Nian nodded. After watching Li Tianbao leave, Wu Nian turned around and entered the mansion. He stood at the door again, summoned a soldier, and ordered: "Send people to go back to Jiang County as fast as possible. Tell Chen Jiagui, who is joining the army, to pay more attention to Fuso Jingji's family."
"Yes." The soldier responded and immediately went down to do it.
"Li Tianbao is right. You will show up sooner or later. I'm afraid you don't have any ill intentions towards me, but you must be on guard against others."
Wu Nian looked back at the gate, and then went back to the back house to practice martial arts.
The reason why Wu Nian continued to win these years of war. Chen Jiagui's intelligence system is of great significance. This intelligence system is not limited to Yingqing Mansion, but has considerable spies throughout Liaodong.
certainly. As Wu Nian took control of Guangchuan Prefecture. In Guangchuan Mansion, the power of this intelligence system has been greatly enhanced.
"When I get Liaodong, this intelligence system should spread to the sea and to Chu State."
Wu Nian thought to himself.
...........
All of Northeast Asia.
The Mongols were still strong, and although Goguryeo coveted Liaodong, it did not have the full confidence to send troops.
The Mongolian people are training their own heavy armor, heavy ax soldiers, and divine arm archers.
The captains and Qianhu under Wu Nian are also stepping up their training of newly recruited soldiers. Feng Chong was distressed because he had recruited new soldiers but did not have enough horses.
Xiong Wuwo and Wu Jing are brewing a conspiracy.
The pirates were frightened by Wu Nian's [Pinghai Policy], and for a while no pirate dared to set foot on the land of Liaodong. Of course, there is nothing we can do at sea.
From time to time, news comes that a merchant ship has been robbed by pirates.
Time passed in this calmness, and June arrived in the blink of an eye.
Yingqing Mansion.
Jiang County.
Before dawn. Chen Youniu from the east of the city got up early. His mother-in-law got up earlier than him and the food was already ready.
Chen Youniu first said hello to his mother-in-law, and then went to wash himself. After eating, he took his tools and went out.
He was a mason, someone who helped build houses.
After walking a few steps, he saw a group of people gathered together, talking on the wall.
"Lao Li, what happened?" Chen Youniu went up to check out of curiosity, and asked Lao Li next door.
"This is a message. It says that General Fu Han rebelled against the Chu State and had the intention to establish himself as king." Old Li's face was solemn.
