"Reply to the king, you are a villain!"
An honest man came out and looked at Liu Deng with a flattering look on his face.
He went from being a glassmaker with nothing to now, and now he has become a managerial official. If we were to tell him his dramatic journey, it would probably take three days and three nights.
"The king needs something. Come and see if you can still make it now?"
While Liu Deng was talking, he casually broke off a section from a branch that was used for chopping firewood, and wrote and drew on the ground, muttering quietly to the craftsmen as he wrote.
Fortunately, although these people are submissive, they are indeed unambiguous when it comes to specific technologies.
After understanding Liu Deng's request, several glassmakers immediately began to take action.
What Liu Deng needs is just a simple magnifying glass. For them now, it is actually not too difficult. The difficulty is just to fix the focus position at the same position.
This process can be slightly modified later, but if you want to ensure that it is on the same straight line, that is the real difficulty.
Convex lenses and concave lenses, although they sound simple, are enough to make these craftsmen think hard.
Liu Deng also followed them and kept making suggestions, but what greeted them was failure again and again.
——————————————
Just when they were making a bold attempt here, King Wu Liu Bi was really proud of himself.
Although the bank's business was not going very smoothly, as Liu Deng kept causing trouble for him, first the King of Chu strongly requested to join, and then the King of Jiaodong immediately sent people over.
Naturally, the other princes were not willing to lag behind. Within a few days, none of the remaining five vassal states were missing.
Liu Bi directly satisfied all their requests, and those people themselves were also very good.
The King of Chu, Liu Wu, spent five million yuan and took away 15% of the bank's shares. The King of Chu was wealthy after all.
The other princes and princes naturally do not have such strength as him.
However, fortunately, they still acted according to their ability. Each of them took out 3.5 million yuan, which was regarded as occupying 10% of the bank's shares.
After all the expenses were eliminated by their operation, Liu Bi not only got back all the money he invested in the early stage, but also made at least ten times the profit.
What's more important is that after the six princes and princes jointly presided over the Guangling Bank, not only did it suddenly generate a large amount of capital out of thin air, but more importantly, the bank's credit suddenly increased countless times.
Who doesn't know in this world that the richest thing in the world today is not the treasury of the Han Emperor, but the wallets of these princes and princes.
After decades of accumulation, and each of them is located in the heart of the country, unlike the imperial court, which still has huge military expenditures to spend.
Almost all of the taxes they receive every year, plus various miscellaneous incomes, flow into their pockets.
Each of them is really as fat as a pig. This time they are going all out. Everyone is waiting for a big battle between them and Jinxiu Bank.
However, just when money banks were blooming everywhere in Guangling, a decree from the imperial court was silently implemented.
"Your Majesty, something is not right! This is a decree just issued by the imperial court. It will take effect within a month. My subordinates always have a feeling that this seems to be directed at us!"
Liu Bi was immersed in the dream of becoming the leader of the princes alliance, when Yang Sheng suddenly opened the door and walked in, holding a piece of white paper in his hand with a nervous look on his face.
"Oh? I would like to see what new tricks they can come up with?"
Liu Bi, who was proud of the spring breeze, didn't care. Now he holds such a huge sum of copper coins in his hand, and he is advancing and retreating with the remaining five princes and kings. He doesn't care about the imperial decree!
So what if there is a decree from the imperial court? They could have drowned all the government orders with a sea of copper coins.
The words "richest in the world" are not said for nothing!
"From now on, all taxes and levies in the imperial court will only be settled with five baht from the imperial court? What does this mean?"
Liu Bi looked confused. Can such a piece of blank paper stabilize the value of five baht?
"Your Majesty, we must not underestimate it. I am afraid that the value of the five-baht coin will be initially stable. Should our next actions be postponed for a while?"
Yang Sheng's heart was full of worries. Although their previous actions had achieved some staged victories, so far, they had not actually taken advantage of them!
After all, this is a money-spending job. If they don't spend the five baht worth of money, their income will be very limited.
Before, I think the court had not yet realized what the depreciation of the five-baht coin meant to them.
But now that the court has begun to use decrees to stabilize the value of the currency, will there be any follow-up measures?
"I understand what you mean, but don't worry. Now that the six major vassal states are advancing and retreating at the same time, sir, you can do whatever you want. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. What can Liu Heng do? Starting from tomorrow, give I used a mountain of copper coins to completely knock down the value of the five-baht coin!"
There was a sneer on the corner of Liu Bi's mouth, but before his smile faded, bad news had already followed.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, this is a copper coin that someone picked up from Guangling City! Your Majesty, look at it quickly!"
At this moment, Le Chao rushed in from outside, even skipping the process of knocking on the door.
"Master Prime Minister, why are you so alarmed?"
Although Liu Bi's face was full of displeasure, he did not get angry on the spot.
"Your Majesty, look quickly!"
While Le Chao was speaking, he took out a dagger from his sleeve, and with a sharp move, he cut one of several copper coins in his hand in half.
Liu Bi took a closer look, and his breathing suddenly began to speed up.
"This, this is..."
"Master Prime Minister, where do these things come from? They are trying to destroy the foundation of our country of Wu!"
Yang Sheng became excited all of a sudden. He hurriedly stood up from his kneeling position, but crawled back and forth three or four steps before he could barely stand up.
Taking three steps at a time, he arrived in front of Le Chao. He grabbed a few copper coins and cut one open himself. Looking at the dark lead inside, Yang Sheng felt like he was being hit on the head. A stick came down.
Although I don’t know who the person behind it is, I can tell with my butt that this must be Liu Deng’s handiwork.
Even if this guy didn't do it himself, he definitely has something to do with it!
The only problem is that no matter how much they hate Liu Deng now, they have to accept the cruel reality that Wu's little money may be in danger...
Repaying others with their own methods, now it's their turn to taste the consequences...
