Liu Zheng looked stunned.
"This, this is..."
The feudal kings attending the meeting this time were all blocking the door.
"Liu Zhizhou is back!"
"Haha, Liu Zhizhou, I just passed by here, can you ask for a glass of water?"
"Liu Zhizhou showed off his power today, can you treat Liu Zhizhou to a banquet?"
Everyone has their own reasons, and when they look at others, they are all evasive and full of disgust.
Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, he already knew what these people were here for. I want to buy my own weapons! However, this thing is not like a war horse. We can divide it or buy it together.
The weapons and equipment in this Yinzhou weapons workshop are all mutually restrained.
If the vassal king who has a grudge against him knows how many Mo Dao and Langzhen he has ordered this year, wouldn't it be easy to target him?
So they couldn't wait to talk to Liu Zheng alone.
Liu Zheng laughed: "Everyone, Zheng knows your intention, but when it comes to weapons, you need to be careful when dealing with them. So there is no need for you to discuss this matter with me in person!"
Everyone was confused.
If I don’t talk to you, who will I talk to?
The King of Shu looked cautious: "Liu Zhizhou, this matter must be discussed with you personally. You must not leave it to your subordinates!"
Others nodded.
Isn't this Baiya Army's account book enough to make these people tremble with fear?
Liu Zheng said: "If you are dissatisfied, Your Majesty, Zheng has his own arrangements for this matter. Please wait for a few days and Liu Zheng will make a charter. How about it? In the next few days, I will send someone the price list of the weapons shop's products to you. You first Think about it and let’s talk again?”
Everyone also knows that this matter cannot be accomplished overnight.
Weapons and equipment, this is something that reveals your ambition even more than a war horse!
After saying this, everyone dispersed.
Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and finally returned to his room, only to see Zheng Yueru, Qin Changfeng, and Jiang Xuan waiting inside.
All three wanted to talk.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "Come one by one."
These past few days, he was really a bit anxious and his brain was running out of energy.
Zheng Yueru said first: "Brother Liu said a few days ago that a new trading method will be introduced for weapons and equipment transactions. Just now, a representative of the vassal king came to me to discuss this matter. Do you think?"
Liu Zheng chuckled: "Yes, this is exactly what I have been thinking about. The issue of Baiya Prefecture's account books has caused an uproar and people are in chaos. At this time, this account book is both a life-saving card and a life-saving card for the Baiya Army. It’s a double-edged sword.”
The three of them nodded in unison.
This account book, if it sounds nice, the Baiya Army can use it to threaten those feudal kings.
But to put it bluntly...
It is also easy for the Baiya Army to go to a desperate situation. After all, you are just an official bandit. You don't even have an official status. If you want to take you, it is not just a matter of words?
Zheng Yueru said: "But my situation in Yinzhou is different..."
Liu Zheng shook his head: "No matter how different the situation is, we must give customers enough sense of security so that our business can last long! We must tell them that we don't need any account books to hold us accountable! Only in this way can we maintain our neutrality in troubled times!"
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "Brother, if we tell you about this, who will believe it? Things like account books have existed since ancient times!"
Zheng Yueru and Qin Changfeng also agreed.
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "If they don't believe it, then find a way to make them believe it!"
"any solution?"
The three of them looked curiously.
Liu Zheng said calmly: "Darknet transactions!"
"What?"
None of the three people understood.
Liu Zheng chuckled.
This world, of course, does not have the Internet. Maybe after his death, he may not be able to catch up with that era... However, he believes that this concept can be imitated!
What is the dark web?
A deep web, an anonymous web!
All transactions here will not be traced.
If such a network could be built in this world, then there would naturally be no need to consider the issue of accounting books and traces.
But how to build this network? How to build this alternative platform and how to implement it in this era?
This requires deep thought.
The most important technology relied on by the dark web in later generations is to hide routing information! What does it mean? That is to say, when any user accesses the dark web, he does not need to reveal his identity to any passing network server or route. This is "onion routing"!
In fact, when Liu Zheng went to Loulan to open up the Silk Road, such a concept had already popped into his mind, a deep Silk Road!
As for this dark web silk road, he had already chosen the most suitable location, and that was Loulan!
In other words, it is a place between Yinzhou and Loulan.
Because no matter what transaction occurs in the Longyan Dynasty, it will be noticed by others. There is no doubt that the secret guards of the imperial court are not just for free.
Only a place that is diverse, multi-national, diverse, and tolerant enough can erase all traces of these people. Another consideration is that your dark network should lead to the whole world, not just Longyan.
Only in this way can one's own interests be maximized.
"No traces? How is this possible?"
Liu Zheng introduced his concept in a concise and comprehensive manner. Zheng Yueru immediately shook his head: "Brother Liu, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Why?"
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "The things we produce are sent to Loulan via Yintan City. If those vassal kings want to buy them, they can just go to Loulan and buy them. They have nothing to do with us anymore. What's impossible?"
As for the means of transportation, that is not something he needs to consider...
The feudal lord should do it himself!
In this way, who knows how many langzhen and modao the feudal lord bought?
Are you afraid of being discovered during transportation? That's better said. You can mix it with trade goods and transport them in batches. This batch will be transported by land and that batch will be transported by water. As long as they are not robbed, who will find out your arms information?
Moreover, Liu Zheng owns Silver Beach City and the Silk Road, so he can provide them with security.
Speaking of which, this is not strictly a darknet, it is just a neutral zone transaction!
But it can perfectly avoid many problems.
Zheng Yueru shook his head and said: "Brother Liu, even so, there will still be account books!"
There are always traces to be followed in real money and silver transactions.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "So, we need to have our own currency!"
"What?"
The three of them were shocked.
currency?
This is no small matter!
Jiang Xuan was startled: "Brother, are you going to mint coins privately? Well, that's the crime of beheading!"
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and gave him a shock: "This currency is not that currency. This currency can only be circulated in our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce! You can also understand it as a silver note!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knows about banknotes...
Today, many large banks have banknotes, which is convenient for merchants from the north and south.
When Zheng Yueru heard this, an idea finally flashed in her mind: "Brother Liu means..."
Liu Zheng's eyes flashed: "We only issue currency and produce goods. All transactions occur in Loulan. As for who and what they bought, whether they bought perfume or weapons, it has nothing to do with us. Do you understand?"
"Unlike traditional silver notes, the currency of our Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce can not only deposit and withdraw gold and silver, but can also be used for all consumption that occurs in the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, and can even be given to each other and traded!"
"We only recognize currency, not people! We don't need, it can even be said that we can't keep any account books! Any peer-to-peer transaction is completed by the participants themselves. They can transfer one hand, two hands, and then Take it and use it again, the degree of freedom is extremely high!”
"Tell me, where are the traces and the account books?"
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
Cryptocurrency, add darknet!
Eliminate the so-called "openness, transparency and traceability" in the blockchain, but retain its characteristics of "honesty", "fairness" and "credibility". And the rich scenarios and methods of this transaction method can achieve collaboration and consensus among multiple subjects!
Liu Zheng believed it.
Although there were no computers in this era.
But in fact, the principles between them are the same. Sometimes, the connection between human brains, its computing power, and the energy it generates are not worse than those of a calculator!
to be honest!
It sounds so complicated, but it's actually very simple, just a few words.
Decentralize!
This is true whether it is refined salt or weapons and equipment.
Avoid following the old path of the White Cliff Army and causing unnecessary trouble!
The three people looked at each other in shock.
A place that is absolutely neutral, highly confidential, has no political leanings, and is available for transit.
A currency that leaves no trace.
A transaction method with strong customer selectivity, convenience and confidentiality.
and……
As a result, it is conceivable that there will be a large amount of gold and silver rushing to Yinzhou...
Oh My God!
How did Mr. Liu's brain work?
This thing sounds very simple, but Liu Zheng used many concepts from later generations such as the dark web, neutral transit, blockchain, cryptocurrency, etc...
If you think about it carefully, every step of the way has perfectly avoided illegal regulations and traces. Those feudal kings can buy weapons and equipment without leaving any traces if they use their brains a little. Why not? for?
Zheng Yueru blinked: "Brother Liu, our currency..."
"Buy the gold, it will be issued in a limited time limit! As the same saying goes, you only recognize gold, not people!"
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly.
What a business genius!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
