Chapter 451 [New Silver! 】

Yue Ji is getting more and more beautiful and fragrant. According to her, this is made of the newly developed "daughter fragrance", which is made by picking incense from hundreds of stamens and steaming them nine times. Xijun, Baizi, do you smell the fragrance of others?

I don’t know what’s wrong, but whenever I see Bai Dong, she will twist her slender waist and put it on. But she is beautiful and has a delicate voice, which makes Bai Dong, a contemporary good man and good husband, a little helpless.

"Are you really not in a hurry to see Wei Shen? The Prince of Wei came with Hui Shi, and he is very sincere. After all, Wei is the largest country in Shandong and the overlord leader between Huai and Si. If we can cooperate with Wei, it will be of great benefit to our business."

Fan Ti did not pretend to be mysterious today. He wore a clean and refreshing blue cloth robe and cloth crown. If he had a feather fan, he would be similar to Zhuge Wuhou. He chatted with Bai Dong and praised the wine made by the Bai family for its goodness. He heard that most of the wines today were brewed by bitter wine, which made him envious. He said that although he had more than a dozen wives and concubines, none of them could compare with Mrs. Xijun. This is the difference.

His mouth is sweeter than honey, this is a profiteer.

Bai Dong looked at Fan Ti with a smile: "Brother Fan, the interests of the Western Regions have been greatly divided, right? If it were you, I should keep my promise, wait for Lao Qin to move westward in the future and make a fortune again. Why are you so greedy? It would be fine for Wei Shen, but Hui Shi, a cunning man who is also provoked by him? I have seen this person, and he is very good at ★, w▼ww., but his figure and appearance have a pair of rat eyes. When he looks at people, he can see that this person is good at arguing and has a swaying mind. I don't want to deal with such a person." Hui Shi in history is indeed not very good Although Zhuangzi, a friend who has made a year-old, has added a lot of glory to him. But he is a genius. Just like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, he is good at a debate and is born at the right time. Never think about making friends with these people who are genius. These guys are doing diplomatic work in the future. They all use diplomatic rhetoric and do everything they can to achieve their goals. In Bai Dong's eyes, Huizi is even less reliable than a genius like Du Zhi. Don't look down on villains. A gentleman can be friends, and a villain can be. What you fear most is this genius with a gentleman's face and a villain's mentality.

The mutton on the shelf had been roasted until it was browned. Bai Dong personally brushed some oil on it. He sprinkled some fine salt and new spices seized from Alibaba. Suddenly, a strong cumin smell rose, evoking the memories of his previous life. Even the Western Regions have not yet introduced cumin. After seizing this kind of thing from the Persians, Bai Dong was overjoyed and finally could feast on it.

He tore off a piece of mutton and handed it to Yue Ji, and he chewed it up. Bai Dong did not continue to speak, just waiting for Fan Ti to speak. He understood the thoughts of the Fan family. Since the generation of Tao Zhu Gong and Fan Li, the Fan family's business has been known to be spread throughout the world. In fact, it has not yet completely entered the Shandong countries, especially the Wei Kingdom. The Wei Kingdom under Wei Ying was like a military monster. He was also influenced by Li Kui's "Taking the Earth's Power" and was far less open than Chu Qi's business. The more famous the big trading company is, the more it will be bound by the Wei Kingdom's government. However, Wei Kingdom is also a central power of Shandong countries. If the Fan family wants to go to a higher level, it must be supported by Wei Kingdom. After Wei Kingdom was defeated by Lao Qin, Pang Juan was cheated by himself to Qin Kingdom. Now Wei Shen, Prince Ang's party began to gradually control the government. Fan Ti smelled the smell of opportunity, which attracted Wei Shen.

Although Bai Dong and Wei Shen also had some private agreement, the current situation is different, and he is not in a hurry to cooperate with Wei State; this is like business negotiations in later generations, and there is no need for a business owner to lower his attitude, making the other party more anxious, the better. Therefore, Fan Ti is not able to help the Bai family and Lao Qin at this time, but in the end he is still seeking benefits for his own family.

Seeing that Bai Dong deliberately ignored her, Fan Ti sighed unconsciously. This Xijun is not old, but he is more cunning than the old fox! For the benefit of the Fan family, should she reveal that relationship? She has not yet figured out her thoughts, but she can't make any comments at this time. If the plan fails, the Fan family will suffer a great loss.

"In fact, Wei Shen has long been friendly to Lao Qin, and this time he also wants to discuss a business with Bai Zi, if"

"No need to say anything about Brother Fan, what should I say for you?"

Bai Dong swallowed the mutton a few sips, took a cloth towel and cleaned his hands, and drank tea slowly. Then he smiled and said, "As soon as Pang Juan left, the Wei Dynasty changed drastically, and the Huai and Si princes who had been strong for a long time also gradually became a wait-and-see, and Wei Ying became even more tired. Although Wei Shen was defeated, he had been in the army for a long time. He was even more powerful in the army. With the help of Gongzi Ang, a kind-hearted and mature man, Hui Shi, the loyal old fox, was able to interfere with the government affairs. But he was the prince after all. If he had no great contribution to Wei, he would still be unable to replace him. When Wei Ying was alive, he would have no other skills, but he was proficient in health preservation and longevity. Wei Shen did not want to be a white-headed prince, so he had to quickly establish trust in the court and the people. But what should he do

Establishing a letter? It is impossible to fight. No matter how arrogant Wei Shen is, he knows that he is not as good as Pang Juan. Now he looks at Yan, Zhao and Qi in the east, and there is no chance to destroy the country. Looking at Lao Qin, my great Qin is several times stronger than that in the past, and there is no need to fight at all. If he cannot fight, he must rely on people's livelihood to establish a letter. Unfortunately, Wei State's farming is first-class and business is third-class. He wants to reform people's livelihood and make the people rich by ordinary means. Unless he joins hands with my Bai Family Trading Company, there is a possibility. After all, the relationship between Qin and Wei is subtle, and it is all in a thought. He can fight with one hand, but why should I count him? Just because your brother Fan is a person, just for the interests of your Fan family in Wei State? It's ridiculous! The Bai family and the Fan family are just cooperative relationships, only for the interests of interests, and we are not relatives."

Yue Ji pursed her mouth gently and snuggled over, allowing her half-naked shoulder to stay in Bai Dong's sight: "Bai Zi, after all, Yue Ji is your old friend, so don't look at Yue Ji's face?"

"Haha, old friends are old friends, and you are a beautiful woman. Men will be fascinated by the way, but unfortunately your face is not enough."

Bai Dong laughed. He was not in a hurry. It would be a matter of time before cooperation with Wei State. Otherwise, there would not be a tacit agreement with Wei Shen that day. However, cooperation is cooperation. The other party must have sufficient conditions to complete it. Speaking of business negotiations, can businessmen in this era be smarter than he who has worked as a lawyer in his later generations?

"Bai Zi is really powerful, brothers admire it. Whether the Fan family can enter Wei State this time and get huge benefits is all due to Bai Zi. If Bai Zi has any conditions, it doesn't matter, Fan Ti will never ask for it!"

"Okay. Brother Fan is so happy, then I'll just say it."

Bai Dong nodded secretly. The descendants of the Fan family are indeed good. If they were replaced by others, they might have to try different ways to bargain with him. But the more generous Fan Ti is, the worse he is, he would not be too much. Well, this big thing is related to the Chinese economy. Once it is established, it will affect a thousand years, and it is not something that the Bai family business can do alone. The Xu family, the Fan family, and even the princes of various countries must jointly exert influence. Now Fan Ti and Wei Ying are delivering it to their doorsteps. This saves a lot of their own strength.

"After the establishment of Fenghui Money Bank, such as deposit and withdrawal of commercial loans and remittances, are all extremely important business contents, but they are not the most critical point. Brother Fan is a descendant of Tao Zhugong and a genius of merchants. What do you think?"

"Haha, deposit, withdrawal and remittance are actually important, but it can gather a lot of cash for the Bai family to form a terrifying power; but Bai Zi is in a lofty mind, so how can he only see money? Fenghui launches exchange and exchange items, which is what helps merchants all over the world solve the most headache-inducing problem. With this item alone, Chinese business transactions will add one out of ten, and Lao Qin is particularly beneficial, because merchants who come to Lao Qin can exchange Qin Yuan money for more than anywhere, and fools will not be able to do so. Come to Qin to do business. There are more merchants coming to Qin, and the government can make up for the losses of the money-making bank by collecting commercial taxes?" The exchange price of Fenghui Money Bank is simply selling cheap to merchants from all over the country. Bai Dong is not stupid, so he can do such a loss-making business? Fan Ti's eyes are so vicious that he had long seen Bai Dong's mind clearly. In the future, all countries have established Fenghui Money Bank. Such a suitable exchange ratio will only appear in Qin. Merchants are profit-seeking people, so it would be strange if they don't come to Qin.

Bai Dong smiled. Fan Ti was very smart, but he just liked to go around the corner. It seemed that he had to make a breakthrough by himself: "Brother Fan is so smart, why should he avoid the important things? You should be able to see my intention to launch the new silver. This is the key to the Chinese economy. Could it be that the descendants of Tao Zhugong have the heart to stand by and watch out?"

"I"

Fan Ti smiled bitterly: "Baizi, promoting the new silver to replace copper coins, and it is a ten-change one method. This is a transaction that will cost money? No, this is not a transaction at all, this is throwing money! Baizi wouldn't want the Fan family to participate in it, right? The Fan family is not short of money, but there is no reason to throw money in vain."

"You are fascinated by money and cannot see the scenery in the distance! Since the Three Emperors and Emperor Wu, China has had shell coins and stone coins. When it comes to Shang, it is replaced by copper coins. The reason is that shell stones and other things have no value and cannot become circulating for a long time, but gold and silver are too expensive. But when it comes to use, how can gold and silver be compared with copper and iron? All copper and iron in the world have been used as coins, which is the biggest waste of resources! If silver is used as coins, it will not only save the heavy and difficult trouble of copper and iron coins, but also effectively utilize these copper and iron resources. This is the real way to correct the situation. It is the most appropriate to use this extravagant thing for circulation. However, to change the situation where copper and iron currency is the 'primary', we need to work together to pay some money temporarily. What is the point of losing some money? Once the 'silver standard' is successfully implemented, it will bring immeasurable benefits to China!"

The development of currency is actually very interesting. From the valueless stone coins, shell coins, copper and iron coins, and from the copper standard to the silver standard, paper money has appeared in modern times, but the emergence of paper money has also made inflation easy. Zimbabwe is an example. "Paper currency has always been equated with the conscience of the government." This sentence is truth.

China is still in an era when we value the value of currency itself, so copper and iron coins will be popular all over the world. But as Bai Dong said, this is a huge waste of resources. Compared with the gold and silver that only nobles and princes can enjoy, the real thing that is closely related to the lives of the people is copper and iron. If we can save these copper and iron as currency, how much will it improve people's livelihood? How great will it be in enhancing China's strength? The China in history books may not care about these, but Bai Dong cares very much. As early as when he began to pursue the Western Regions, his eyes have turned to the world.

Later Han Emperor Wu of Han used a large number of troops to the Huns, and the copper and iron resources were consumed too much. For this reason, he once minted three silver coins, hoping to replace copper and iron coins with this. It was just that China's silver resources were limited and it was finally impossible to implement them. But Bai Dong would not worry about the problem of silver resources. He knew where to find enough silver. Now, as long as the Chinese know, silver can also be used as currency, and he has tried to promote it from now on. When a large amount of silver is found in the future, China can leap into the "silver standard" era in one fell swoop.

"Bai Zi is right. If it can save a lot of copper and iron resources, it will be wonderful to replace it with silver. But now where do we need to find a large amount of silver? The Chinese silver mine is only a dozen and it is expensive. Now we will promote the new silver in the ratio of ten to one, and we will lose our lives!"

Fan Ti is really anxious.
