Li sits down and slowly ponders his own problems. Is he really the kindness of a woman like Wu Zuoxi said?That is impossible. What I have to do is just a long-term investment. Such an investment will not see any benefits in a short period of time, but in the long run, such an investment is the real maximum benefit for myself. Things in the Eastern Empire are not as simple as they seem to be. Such a huge empire is just a royal family and the Linghu family. Are they two ruling?It’s impossible to dare. There must be black hands behind you that you can’t see. It’s impossible to catch these black hands on your own strength, you can only rely on infiltrating them. It's up to Master Linghu.

Although he didn’t have a long time with this Young Master Linghu, he could see many advantages in him. He knew that he also had these advantages when he was young, and such a person would definitely make great things. He wants to be friends with such people instead of enemies. Li Cong believes that he can eventually overcome them, but if he can become his own friends, wouldn't it save a lot of time?It’s okay to use this time to do some other things, and this person becomes his own friend, as long as he is a good mess, he can also get a certain amount of income from him. This kind of win-win situation is definitely possible. If he did, Wu Zuoxi might have never seen this person before, and he didn't believe in his own eyesight, so surely he would not be wrong!

"Forget it, let's not talk about Lao Wu again. I have my own plan. I remember that that guy will not let me down. He will help me a lot with the Eastern Empire in the future. You can help me now. I am consulting on another matter. I now want to issue a currency. Simply put, I want to tie the economies of the four empires to my currency. I don’t know what do you think about this?" Li never wanted to think about it. He leaned back on the chair and said something that made his mind troublesome. Wu Zuoxilai also wanted to persuade a few words, but when he heard what Li Cong said later, he quickly suppressed what was in front of him. This kid is really not an ordinary person.His eyes are not what he can see.He actually wants to use economic means to bind the four empires. This idea is probably what he can think of, but he has this strength to do.

"Currency? What currency is to be issued? Why didn't I think of such an idea? What are some things in your brain? The things you think of are things that we can't think of. Now the four empires are on the market. There are three kinds of currencies in circulation. One is copper. One is silver, and the other is gold. As for the platinum on top of gold. This is a large currency, and ordinary people have no roots in their hands. This kind of thing, even if it exists, will not be used. This kind of thing is too precious, and the big family will not use it. They all use silver tickets for settlement, but the silver tickets are issued by this bank. The company issued by the company is really chaotic. If there is a unified currency, it will also be a huge contribution to the economic circulation of the entire continent, but such things are not so simple and can be done. You have this idea Okay, to be honest, I am not attacking you. The difficulties and difficulties in this are really too great. Have you ever thought that these difficulties might knock you down." Old Wu thought about it and said what he said to Li Cong. The idea was very supportive, but when her mind became hot, it cooled down. She thought of a lot of difficulties. The four empires seemed to want to connect with each other, but what about the real?Especially in the hearts of these royal families, they don't want the four empires to be too closely connected. They all want to rule in their own sky. How can they connect the common people? That way, they are out of control. There are too many things.

These four empires have close relations with the other three empires due to their geographical relations, but the annual trade volume is only a small part. It is difficult to see the goods of another empire and the goods of another empire in one empire. Basically in this empire, it can only appear in the hands of the rich and the upper class. For ordinary people, don’t even think about it. They don’t have the money to buy things from other countries, in the four empires. , I am afraid that the Eastern Empire has such a great resistance. Due to the terrain, the Eastern Empire is not very close to the other three empires. If this currency is issued, it is estimated that the Eastern Empire will be the first person to resist. It is also impossible to infiltrate with a broker. The relationship between the Eastern Empire and the other three empires is a bit too far away to affect them.

"Old Wu, I know that this matter is very difficult, so I didn’t act rashly. I’m not negotiating with you. My idea is that if you issue some banknotes and silver dollars, you can make one or two silver dollars, fifty silver dollars, or even It’s ten taels of silver, but I think the twelve taels of silver are a bit big. It’s enough to reach five taels. Paper money is the kind of silver bills we circulate now. Now, the exchange of silver bills issued by major companies is very complicated, and some There are still some fakes, and the cash receipts are relatively large, so they are not easy to carry? Although it is just a piece of paper, it does not look very exquisite. Even if you take it out, you don’t think it is a matter of face. I What I want is to make only one kind, which is relatively small, convenient to carry, and can be exchanged in the whole continent. Knowing that such silver tickets will not circulate so quickly in the whole continent, of course, I also know that it is very difficult , But if there are difficulties, we can solve them slowly. This is just a preliminary idea. Next, I want to open a shop in the whole continent. My idea is that even if it is temporarily not possible on the eastern empire, it can be in the other three empires. Let’s do it internally. Now the empire does not prohibit these firms from issuing their own banknotes. I just issue a larger scale and a wider range. Besides, the royal families of the three empires won’t be difficult for me at this time, after all. There is also the northern battlefield in his hands. In the south, I can slowly create some riots for them, but if they loosen up, I will relax a little bit. If they don’t know how to promote, I will just talk to them. In short, this plan I won't give up." Li Cong said firmly.Wu Zuoxi was naturally surprised by such a thing. He didn't expect that this kid Li Cong had already planned so well.

Wu Zuoxi did not speak. He was not like Li Cong. Li Cong had relatively little knowledge of the four empires, not so in-depth. After all, Li was not here for that long. Wu Zuoxi knew the four empires very well. Especially for the Western Empire where he is located. On the surface, it seems that the three major empires are now obedient to some of your requirements.But actually.Are they really like this?Don't they have their own ideas?They must have their own ideas. If ordinary small things can definitely agree to Li Cong, how could they be willing to issue such a big issue of currency?As Li Cong said, all major firms are issuing their own bank notes.It's nothing.After all, their influence brings a province.At most, it is just a few provinces.Even if it is a large bank of the entire empire, which is issued in one country, there are currently no large-scale bank notes spread across several other empires.The Cao’s family firm has achieved this. The Northern Empire, the Western Empire, and the Southern Empire all have their firms in the territory. The Qianzhuang is the most fundamental thing in Li Cong’s entire plan. There are now nearly millions of Li Cong on the entire continent. From the controlled bank, this has made Li Tong a good preparation for issuing currency. If there are not so many banks, it is estimated that Li Cong would not dare to say this. With so many banks, Li Cong Both speaking and doing things are very confident.

"I said kid, I was shocked by your big hand again. I remember that I didn’t know you for a long time, but from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not an ordinary person. I think These things will appear in the future, but I did not expect that she will come so soon, and only someone like you has the courage to earn 1 silver in the market, and then put all the 1 silver into it, and you earn it. There is indeed a lot of money. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve invested a lot in the past few years. I don’t know what happened to other empires, but I know the situation of the Western Empire very well. In a decent county town, you think To open a reputable bank, it can’t be less than 800,000 taels of silver. This amount should not be high, right? Wu Zuoxi looked at Li Tong and said, he really doesn’t know the person in front of him. Guys, anything this guy does will bring him huge surprises. Many people have ambitions, but there are still a few people with big ambitions like Li Cong. Many people with ambitions are either because this is not good, that No way. In short, there are various reasons that make them change from an ambitious person to an ordinary person, but this kid in front of them is different from those people. He has greater ambitions than those people. There is also his own actions. He will use his actions to put his ambitions into practice. Just like currency, it is very difficult for others to issue it. Basically it is impossible to achieve it, but in this kid Everything in his hands seems to have become reality. After decades, hundreds of thousands of years, this kid may be the master of the four empires. No one can predict all these things.

Wu Zuoxi can only hope that he and this kid will always be friends, otherwise, one day he will look up and see that his previous enemies are already much stronger than him. Of course, this is also a precondition, that is, this kid will continue to maintain himself. This kind of enterprising spirit is good. If you can't get a little achievement, you will die. In that case, the enemy's combat effectiveness is not very strong. At the moment, his enterprising spirit is still very strong, much stronger than himself. If he is If you have such an enterprising spirit, you may have to go even further now, and you might have assisted Tuoba's family instead of working for the court. At the beginning, you had too many concerns, and the result would be so desolate.

"Hehe, that’s affirmative about this question. There will be no return if I don’t invest. If I pile up all the money I earn, people on the entire continent will be surprised, even the emperors of the four empires. There are no exceptions. I don’t know how much property I own, but I’m sure that the richest people on the mainland may not be able to keep up with me, just like those big families that have lasted for tens of thousands of years. They must be inferior to me. They may have more assets than me, but the amount of money they can actually produce is definitely not as much as mine. The amount you predict is about the same. I have thousands of provinces in the Western Empire. Tens of thousands. Every county and city has its own bank, and where there is a bank, there must be a grain shop. Although the investment in a grain shop is much less than that of the bank, the people can eat the sky. The influence of this thing is absolutely very powerful. Yes, of course, it only affects some ordinary people, the bureaucrats are nothing." In front of Wu Zuoxi, Li Cong always made no secret of how much property he owns?In his opinion, Wu Zuoxi doesn't have much ambitions anymore. He came to help himself, thinking that he would not be too lonely in the future.As for other things.This guy certainly wouldn't think too much. His career in the Western Empire had come to an end, and he would not go back to help the emperor of the Western Empire to make any decisions, which he himself had already said.The imperial family of the Western Empire would be unwilling to change such ungrateful behavior.Not to mention a person with such an idea and such a big ambition.

"So now for you. The time to issue a currency is ripe, right?" Wu Zuoxi said in disbelief, this thing is too big, even an imperial government has not issued a currency that can pass. National currency.Taking the Western Empire as he knew it, the currency issued by the Western Empire was only an official style. What did it look like for silver?It’s up to you to decide. The ingot is what it looks like when you pay taxes. It can be circulated in the private sector. It can be in this situation or in that shape. As for the silver bill, there are no more feasible rules. , This ticket number is like this and that good may be like that.

When these companies issue bank notes, they are all based on their own preferences, and they have not considered too much. Of course, it is not that no one has considered issuing a bank note that can be used in the whole country, but it takes a lot of money. In terms of strength, the imperial government once thought about such a thing, but after thinking about it for a long time, it announced that it gave up. First of all, some economic strengths in various places are very resistant to this kind of behavior. Because you want to get a silver ticket, you have to The money in one’s hand is handed over to the other party, so that the money ticket can be taken out. This money ticket is easy to carry, but most people think that they are holding money in their hands. This is a real thing. It's not a piece of paper. This piece of paper is a piece of paper during the war, and nothing can be exchanged. Only in peacetime can this piece of paper have its own function.

"First of all, I have to declare to you that I am not attacking you. Even if you can overcome such difficulties and such difficulties, with the current printing technology, it is impossible for you to achieve complete truth. I remember that in history, there was also a very powerful businessman who wanted his banknotes to be distributed throughout the empire, but because of this incident, he went bankrupt. All Wanguan family wealth became someone else’s. The mistake he made was The banknotes printed by it are too easy to imitate. You just lose some money in small-scale imitations, but your competitors manufacture them on a large scale. Who are your opponents now? You want to issue a currency that can be circulated throughout the continent. Your biggest enemy is the royal family of the four empires. The technology and technology of the royal family is definitely more than one grade higher than that of the folks. If they want to snipe you, it is very easy. They only need to print billions or tens of billions. Even if you issue hundreds of billions of banknotes, what kind of silver did you give to others when I saw it.” Wu Zuoxi said that Li Cong also knew. At that time, the businessman relied on his own efforts to put his own assets. He made tens of billions of silver, but because of the silver bill, this guy became a pauper again, and even lost his life in the end. He is much stronger than that person now, but his own The enemy is also much stronger. At least the royal family didn’t think about dealing with that guy, because he is a businessman, a businessman with little political power, but he is different, his political power is A fool can also see it.

"Printing counterfeit currency is only one aspect. They still have a lot of methods. For example, they stock up a large number of silver bills in their hands, and then go to a ticket number to which you belong to exchange the silver, but your ticket number is impossible. With so much money, they will find the reason to attack you, and they will say that your place is only convenient for cashiers, and it is not so convenient for money exchange. Wouldn’t you understand the truth? You have done so for so long. Time’s business, you may be able to do more than me for this kind of thing. It may not be a simple matter to make a ticket number flourish, but it is a matter of minutes to let him go bankrupt.” Wu Zuoxi said earnestly, he did not Not a difficult person.But he couldn't solve these difficulties himself, so he asked Li Cong to answer. As long as Li Cong can answer all of these, he will help Li Cong to do this thing, and he wants to do something big in his own heart. The name goes down in history, and Li Cong is the one who can help him do things, but he doesn't know what to do with these difficulties?He has Li Cong giving him an accurate answer. Since he wants to do such an unprecedented event, he must make sufficient preparations to prevent others from finding his own loopholes, although it may not be 100% successful.But it will also minimize the failure rate.Li Cong appreciates this kind of thought. He listened to this guy completely and said what he should say, and then it was time to answer the question.

"Old Wu, you are really a responsible person. I knew it was right to ask you to be my adviser. Other people may cater to me to finish this matter. But when this business is launched, there will be many At that time, it was really a headache for me. Now I am very happy that you can tell these mistakes. I will tell you what I think one by one now? Just the printing of counterfeit coins you said. I’ve already thought about the problem. I have a very good technology. The banknotes printed by that method will never be copied, and every banknote will be marked with a mark. Group numbers. You have seen the things on my subordinates. Many people here don’t understand what they mean? If you want to use that kind of thing as a mark, it might be very good. Besides, I can talk about printing. Type some small secrets on it. I can’t tell you how I got this. These are some of my own secrets. In short, things like fake banknotes won’t happen, and there are also runs you said I have a way to deal with the storm. For example, in a county town, only the ticket number of the county town can get the silver, and you can withdraw your own money from those ticket numbers in the county town, but the number You must be limited to how much money you can only withdraw per day. If you exceed the amount, you must report it within 1 to 2 days. We will prepare the money as soon as possible. Think of me. How about the two ideas? Although they can't say that they can solve the problem 100%, they can at least solve some small problems. If someone really finds fault, we can only face it slowly, without difficulty It’s impossible to just do things. We are stronger only if we have difficulties. You say Lao Wu.” Li Tong said with a smile. Wu Zuoxi also shook his head with a smile at this time. It seems that the things he is considering are really too great. That's too much. Compared to these young people, I'm really a little old, and Wu Zuoxi is not a person who catches those problems.

The only problem he was thinking about was the printing of fake bank notes. Now that Li Cong can solve this problem, that means that other problems can be solved slowly. Wu Zuoxi points. After nodding, he began to support the plan.

"Since you are so confident in this plan, I won’t say anything else. Now let’s discuss this plan bit by bit. Since this plan is very detailed, then we shouldn’t let any problem go. Let’s start with those coins with relatively small denominations. You said that the smallest one is one or two silver each. What shape should it be? Do you have your own ideas? Since it is a coin, we have to cast it like this There will definitely be losses in the coins. Who will bear the losses? If it is small, we can bear the losses, but the number of things you want will definitely not be small. According to my calculations The denomination of billions and tens of billions is not a small amount. A coin is equal to one tael of silver. According to the current situation, the loss is generally about 2%. 100 silver will have two taels of silver, and 1000 silver will have silver. If We printed 1 billion in the first batch, which is quite a lot of silver. In this way, the loss will not be small. If you look at this, how should we bear the loss? If we should think this coin is not enough A lot of people may resist the amount, even if it is only 2%, they will come to investigate this issue. Wu Zuoxi took a sip of the tea that Li Cong bought and said that the taste of this tea is also good. The old guy nodded his head repeatedly, but his mouth was not idle. The words he said are also issues that Li Cong should consider now. The loss is indeed a big issue. If it is popular in the whole continent, it is absolutely possible for 100 million coins. If calculated in this way, it would be tens of millions of silver. This is the smallest denomination, and even the larger denomination.

Things like silver dollars have a certain history when they started to circulate on the earth. Some of their own currencies also had a lot of resistance at the beginning, but later, they can be considered to be in circulation, dozens of vehicles. What is your silver dollar, a big lump, but dozens of silver dollars?You can put it in a small pocket, which is convenient and which is easy to use, everyone is not a fool.Of course.The people who minted the silver dollar would definitely get a certain benefit. This loss is a benefit. Li Cong remembers that in the history class, he said that one silver dollar can make two silver.If this is 0 billion, it is 4 billion taels of silver.This is definitely not a small amount.Li Cong will definitely have more silver dollars to cast. There should be a lot of losses, right?However, it is impossible to make money like this on this big road, because this loss is very small here.Almost all are negligible. The 2% loss is nothing, and the people here are too hard to make this money, but compared to Li Cong's plan, it is all small money and can be sacrificed.

"I have already thought about the issue of loss very clearly. Ordinary silver can be said to be very soft. You can use some tools such as iron armor to open them. This is completely impossible. We can Adding some other impurities in it makes one yuan very hard. At least you want to destroy these silver dollars. It is not a simple thing. Anyway, we can exchange silver dollars for you one or two silver dollars. At the beginning, we may have some losses, but I We guarantee that our silver dollars will gather a lot of shadows after they are circulated, and we are not just issuing this kind of silver dollars, we will also issue some paper money, and eventually we will eat a lot of silver in our hands." Li Congxiao He said that obtaining the right to issue currency is the ultimate goal that Li Cong needs, but he will not understand this if he tells him now.

"It's not a big disadvantage, but you are talking about what you have imagined. How should you implement it? This is still a question. What is the benefit of doing this in the end? I know that I have gained it. Currency issuance rights will definitely have a lot of benefits in the future, but these countries can really listen to you?" Wu Zuoxi really is an old cunning man, he does not understand why this right is to be obtained, although this will be a matter of face after having this right. It's very good, but Li Cong wasted so much manpower and material resources, it's impossible for him to be good-looking, right?

"Of course there are many benefits. At this stage, what I need is to build momentum. Have you ever thought that one day the whole mainland will use a currency? The right to issue this currency is in my hands. It’s up to me to decide how much currency a country wants to issue. Isn’t this a fun thing? And I can turn all the debts owed by the royal family of various countries into the debts of the entire country, but the right to issue currency is In my hands, their debts can be completed by borrowing money from me, but they have to use the state's fiscal taxation as a guarantee." Li Cong said with a smile, what he has to do is the same as in history The Federal Reserve is the same. It’s just that it’s impossible to make such a thing in a short period of time. It takes a long time to plan a day, and if there is something wrong, you will lose money.

"It's very interesting to listen to you, but why do you have such confidence? The royal families of the major empires don't have a lot of debts at this time. They can use their own abilities to pay back, and now the world is rooted in peace. There is no major turmoil, and there are not many places to spend money. This idea of ​​yours may be lost. In fact, this idea of ​​yours is really a fantastic idea. I also admire it very much. It seems that the current situation is not easy to achieve. "For Li Cong’s idea, Wu Zuoxi had never heard of it before, but now, after he knew the news, he really felt that this thing was a bit fun, and Li Cong was able to think that he would do this thing. And to be honest, Wu Zuoxi now really wants to see Li Cong can control the issuance of the major empires, especially the issuance of currency. This is the most fun thing, and he can’t bear it. That’s why I asked these questions. Let’s see what Li plans from behind?You can also give him some suggestions to make this plan more perfect, so that you can also solve the doubts in your heart earlier and see how the miracles in this world happen?

"You are right. The world is peaceful, there is indeed no chance for me to start, but what if I do something about the world? Is the world really peaceful now? This is just a temporary superficial phenomenon. The world’s undercurrents are surging, and as long as we can find opportunities, we can always provoke wars. Moreover, even if these contradictions do not erupt, I can use my own military power to directly initiate wars, and wait until all countries fight well. Why didn’t they come to me to borrow money when they were exhausted? At that time, I had no choice but to get the world in this way. It can be said that it is the easiest. It's impossible for them to fight. How many cities are there in the world? I'm afraid you, a former prime minister, don't know very well, right." Li Tong said with a smile, Wu Zuoxi nodded again.He didn't know how many cities under the world might be, or he didn't know the Western Empire.

Moreover, the military offensive of the four empires is too obvious.When you were in the northern empire, the southern empire and other empires already felt it.I don't know if I have to wait until the year of the monkey. Now Li Cong does have a chance to start a war between the three empires and the Eastern Empire. This is what Li Cong needs to do most.If the four empires are really in chaos, it is really impossible for you to achieve this plan through this plan. If you get it, half of the world will be wrong, more than half of it is in the hands of this kid in front of you, and it seems that you have to follow this guy well. Relying on it is that you have no status after being saved, and being friends with such a person can be considered accountable for the rest of your life.

"You kid really has a different mind from others. The questions that others dare not think about are easy things for you, and when you say these things, your face doesn't show any redness. What does this mean? It means you are a A natural leader, others say that this is shameless, but I don’t think so. People who want a face can’t do great things. If they have their own face, they won’t do things. Since you think so. To help these three empires resist the Eastern Empire’s offensive, you just put the people in the Eastern Empire. The three empires will be afraid of the Thunder Gate and the Eastern Empire when they join forces. They will definitely send troops to intervene. Add a thunder gate to the empire and it will fight? Doesn’t this achieve your goal?” Perhaps it’s not surprising to think of this question at this time. Indeed, if Li Cong can do this, many things can be solved. Yes, but if he does this, there will be many other risks.

First of all, this war is not within my own control. Although the strength of the four empires is different, what will happen to the entire continent if a real all-out war breaks out?The important thing is to let them bleed instead of destroying them. If they are really destroyed, they will not get anything. What is the use of wanting a continent like this?So you usually make a long-term plan on this matter.

The first is to issue currency to expand its influence, and the second is to slowly expand the war so that the two sides have to borrow a lot of money in the abyss of war, and at the same time the four empires cannot fall down.It would be too slow to establish a new regime from the beginning, and controlling it by itself is of little use, because its ability to control a place is very weak. The four empires are deeply entrenched on this continent, and their power is all over them. Every corner, mainly because they control them, they will become their most senior workers. They will use state taxes to repay their debts, and they will charge high interest when they borrow money for war. Interest is to be paid off. They don’t know how many years they will be able to pay off the money. Now their emperor may not be able to see it. By the time their descendants understand too much, it’s too late. At that time, they have controlled the whole With everything in the continent, they can only help them rule the continent instead of being the real king, and it will be too late to regret.

"Thank you for saying that I am a leader. In fact, I have thought about this, but I just have a big framework for how to do it. What we have to do now is to issue currency first. If this thing fails, the future I don’t need to say anything anymore. Now I have read some things in major banks. These banknotes are really not very good. The banknotes that I have issued already have a look. Take a look. , I don’t know if it’s possible.” Li Cong said and took out a few paper money from the earth. They were also 5, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 up to 100,000 denominations. Such things are very common on the earth. , But this thing is not ordinary in this place, and the printing of this thing is very beautiful, these things must have never appeared in this world, this thing is like a work of art.

"This is indeed an amazing thing. It is the first time I have seen these things, especially this paper. I dare say that no technology on this continent can produce such things. You are these things. How did you get it? I dare say that even if such a thing is of no value, someone will buy it with money if it is taken out. I want to collect it myself. This set of numbers must be what you said. Is that thing? It’s really good. If all the bank notes are like this, I don’t think no one will object to it, and many people will redeem it." Wu Zuoxi’s reaction to this thing is beyond Li Cong’s. As expected, Li Cong had been wearing these things for a long time, and he was afraid that this guy said it was a piece of paper. In fact, it was a piece of paper, but these things never appeared before, and they were indeed very beautifully printed.

"Yes, these are the so-called anti-counterfeiting signs. If there are such things, you should rest assured. Everyone has such a watermark, and there will be no accidents. I am going to start in the place where our Cao family business is relatively powerful. It will be implemented for a period of time, but it will not flow out on a large scale. I believe someone will buy my account." Li Cong said with a smile, this kind of thing is very good. People like Wu Zuoxi are people who have been the prime ministers of the Western Empire. He feels that this thing is very good, let alone other people, they will definitely be very interested in this thing.

Li Cong's words made Wu Zuoxi seem to see his goal. He is already very interested in this matter. Such a person can definitely help him a lot. Li Cong also hopes that he can help him succeed.(To be continued...)
