Section 245: The feeling of being trusted
Wu Peng felt a new door open in front of him, and many things he had never touched came to him. He felt happy and a little panicked.
"We must have the right to set prices." Tianhao's words were loud and clear: "Great Master, I have seen the clay template stored in the royal database. The monetary system has been recorded for a long time. The key is how to use it. We can trade with the lions, but they must obey the rules we set. If you want weapons and steel, you have to trade with our money."
"...I understand what you mean." After thinking for a long time, Wu Peng finally expressed an extremely long feeling. His face was clear: "We set the price, and the same is true for the rules. They either accept or refuse."
Tianhao held his hands with his hands on the table and smiled and said, "We will not raise the price too much, it must comply with the most basic market rules. This practice will definitely touch the Lion King's bottom line, which is difficult for him to accept, and he even refuses to admit this entire trading system. If nothing unexpected happens, he will threaten us by cutting off the export of corn and potatoes."
"We can solve this problem by just sticking for a while." A smile bloomed again on Wu Peng's face: "You introduced corn and potatoes from the south of the mainland through those white people. Then we can plant them ourselves, without having to look at the face of the Lion King."
Tianhao agreed with the same smile.
The happy mood lasted for a short time. Wu Peng quickly thought of another question. He put away his smile, his wrinkles covered his face in his original appearance, and some inexplicable things were flowing in his deep eyes. He then smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly: "Ahao, your idea is very good, but Your Majesty will not agree, will not issue an edict, and will not order the comprehensive implementation of this new monetary system within the ethnic group."
Tianhao was a little surprised: "Why?"
"Your Majesty is old." Wu Peng said bluntly: "His only idea now is to keep the clan stable. In His Majesty's opinion, pioneering and enterprising are no longer so important. You have to understand that this is not stupidity, but age and time to wipe a person out of the will level. This is not his fault. Your Majesty... has never been a bad person."
People want to have a stable and beautiful ending when they get older.
Lying in bed and dying peacefully is the best way to leave this world.
The old people especially dislike war. They hate the rebellious rebellion of the monarch, the unfilial descendants, and the prodigal sons who forget their ancestors' names.
Tianhao nodded slowly: "I understand."
"So what you said just now can only be put on hold for the time being." Wu Peng saw his performance and said seriously: "Wait patiently for a while, and I will try my best to persuade Your Majesty to change his mind."
Tianhao thought for a moment and asked, "If this is not the case, can we make a simple attempt on the monetary system within your authority?"
Wu Peng's reaction was quick: "You mean, a regional pilot like Chiti City?"
Tianhao smiled. Every word he said now had to be thoughtful and repeatedly thought about it: "After all, this is just my personal idea, and I have no absolute certainty. Instead of spreading it directly in the entire clan, it is better to try it in the Panshi Leader first. The King of Thunder Cow is a good example. The King of Thunder Cow is very cautious. Niu Tong's trial of the lion clan in the Red Seal City shows that it is not in our interests. Even if the small-scale experiment fails, the losses that are restricted in advance can be accepted. On the other hand, if the trial is good, it can be carried out comprehensively within the entire clan based on this."
"This is a good idea." Wu Peng nodded and praised: "Trial it on a small scale... The king will not object to doing this."
The atmosphere in the room became warm again, and the old man and the young man discussed the specific details for a long time. Tianhao was surprised to find that the great master's understanding of the currency system was not shallower than that of himself. Although he was a barbarian, he had a quick mind and long-term vision, and even some of the details he missed could be supplemented.
The conversation is almost over.
"I have a question, I hope you can answer me honestly." The old man's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Tianhao was mentally prepared for this, and he knew that this question would come sooner or later. He nodded and his face calmed down: "Please say it."
"Will you always be loyal to our ethnic group?" The great master's tone was very serious, without any other ingredients.
The huge surprise exploded in Tianhao's mind, which was completely out of the expected script.
This is not the problem I think, and I can't even get along with it.
Shock and accident were like two huge stones, smashing into Tianhao's unstoppable thinking pool, splashing countless splashes.
"Answer me, will you always be loyal to our ethnic group?" The great master repeated the previous question, and his expression became colder and more serious.
Tianhao took a deep breath when he reacted. He picked up the knife placed on the table, cut open his left palm, and a fine blood line suddenly appeared.
This is a blood oath.
"I will always protect this tribe, prevent the people here from being enslaved, and displaced. I have promised you that the people in Panshi Village will be fed and well-dressed. I have done it. Now, I will expand this goal so that all the people of the cattle tribe can enjoy this happiness."
...
At dawn, the Grand Master took the guards to leave the fishing village and headed north.
He is always so busy.
The superiors are actually not as relaxed as ordinary people imagine. They are shrouded in the halo of prominent people. They are all in their own hands, far beyond the great difficulties and hardships of ordinary people.
Some things cannot be concealed.
The capture of the "Obsidian" will sooner or later spread. Shattered teeth and Zhengjiang are loyal to themselves because they have undergone spore transplant surgery. The personal guards around them are also loyal to them, but out of awe of the lord. Above the lord there are patriarchs, national teachers, His Majesty, and gods.
If something else is changed, the possibility of leaking is very low.
But it is different to involve white people. The enemies who have been treated preferentially on the rock for thousands of years have been given, and many people cannot understand it at all. They dare not question Tianhao, the wise lord, and only think that the white people used evil witchcraft to confuse the leaders. Their simple minds will not think of more, nor can they understand the so-called conspiracy, and can only seek help from new and higher rulers.
Taking the initiative to report to the great master and reporting in real name are two completely different concepts.
The former means being open and honest, while the latter makes people suspicious. In addition, there have been rumors about the intention of Lord Rock to rebel in the outside world. At this time, self-provement and exposure are the most effective counterattack weapon.
Tianhao knew very well that the biggest flaw in the whole thing was that he knew the white language that was extremely unfamiliar to the barbarians.
The barbarians of this era almost did not understand English, and the letters were equivalent to the heavenly book in their opinion.
When Tiankuang sent the secret letter, Tianhao was already mentally prepared. He formulated a complete set of plans to deal with the interrogation of the great master. He could tell him some secrets in limited capacity, which was for self-protection and for better development of Panshi Leader.
The gap between reality and imagination is too big. The great master never mentioned the issue that Tianhao expected from beginning to end.
Where did you learn white language?
His final question only involves whether he is loyal to the ethnic group.
Tianhao covered his mouth tightly with his hands, his heart was filled with intense excitement, his nostrils felt sour, and tears almost burst out from his eyes.
This is a sense of fulfillment of being trusted, and it is simply wonderful.
Just like a father treats his son, no matter whether the son grows up or not, he will always be a child cared for in his eyes. He will never care about his son's faults. As long as he keeps the right direction in the general direction, the father will always be his son's strongest supporter.
The great master obviously knows some secrets, about ethnic groups and about this world.
Tianhao felt a heavy burden pressing on his shoulders.
This is an extremely strong sense of responsibility.
Gradually stopping his agitation, he let go of his hand, raised his right arm, raised his right hand flatly to the front of his temple, and gave a solemn salute to the master's back as he was leaving.
This is the military ritual of the civilization era, and it is also the first time that Tianhao has come to this era and uses such solemn and ancient etiquette against barbarians.
...
Making silver coins is simple.
The alloy formula was personally selected by Tianhao, and the single coin contains up to 70% silver. Tong Biao led the blacksmiths to make the mold and mold it in stamping. The front of the silver coin is engraved with a portrait of His Majesty the King of Ox, and the back is a horn that symbolizes tribal power. After stamping, it is simply polished to ensure the regular circle.
This silver coin is extremely exquisite, and its manufacturing technology is far superior to that of the Lion Clan currency.
In the following month, the lord guards led by Shattered Tooth, including the core members of the entire Rock Leadership Corps, received salaries paid in the form of silver coins.
"Salary" is a new term that barbarians rarely come into contact with.
In a society where the rationing system is dominant, they hardly think about many problems between means of production and products. The reason why Panshiling has made rapid progress in the entire bull group, upgraded from small villages to cities in a short period of time and continued to expand into large areas is not only Tianhao's personal factors, but also the result of the increase in people's productivity exponentially and the production based on massive materials.
Without a stable supply of materials, even a genius commander would not be able to win a battle.
Land, ocean, mountains and forests... Tianhao is like a hard-working rat, crazily accumulating various materials. Now, the output of Panshige far exceeds that of other villages and tribes. In addition to the reasons mentioned to the great masters, the needs of the lower class are the basis for implementing the monetary system.
What is happening elsewhere is the case, but Panshi Lottery needs currency, and it is a high-reputation value-added currency with strong purchasing power.
Quchi's exploration team discovered a silver mine on Jeju Island, which is the reliance of Tianhao's vigorous promotion of the monetary system.
Round stone coins, oxen coins, oxen coins, king coins... all kinds of messy names emerged overnight. There were also a few unopposed guys shouting that the portraits on the silver coins were exactly the same as them, thinking that this was a miracle brought down by the gods, so they almost carved their own name on it.
Tianhao ordered all the nonsense guys to be arrested and whipped dozens of whips in public.
Never view these barbarians by the standards of civilized times. If you give him a sanitary napkin, it is entirely possible that he will stuff it into his mouth as a delicious pastry and eat it happily.
Orders from the Lord were issued one by one on the entire leader.
The new currency is tentatively named "Panshi Coin", which is divided into three types: gold coins, silver coins and auxiliary coins. The market circulation is mainly silver coins and auxiliary coins. The exchange rate between gold coins and silver coins is 100, and the exchange rate between silver coins and auxiliary coins is 200.
No one shall destroy, hide or pollute the rock coins. Violators shall be punished depending on the severity of the circumstances.
No one is allowed to forge the Rock Coins. Once discovered and confirmed to be true, they will be sentenced to death.
There cannot be many regulations issued at one time, and it is difficult for barbarians to remember the simple brains. Detailed regulations can only be confident in their daily lives, and political commissars will play an important guiding role in it.
Broken teeth were very interested in this shiny gadget. He took the money he had just sent to the material supply office and experienced the transaction process of using auxiliary coins to exchange food for the day.
Paralyzed, money really works!
You can buy anything this thing, only you can't imagine, but you can't buy it. Lord Lord said that in the future, you can even use money to buy female prisoners of war, and buy as much as you want.
Tianhao is cautious about the issuance of currency, with accurate calculations and no over-issuance. On the one hand, the current output of Jeju Island Silver Mine is not high, and on the other hand, the actual issuance must be based on the actual production materials of Panshi. At present, this state is in the original financial stage, and it can only kill itself by developing a stock exchange and a credit system in advance.
Of course, banks must have it, which represents the official recognition of the currency by Panshi Leader. If civilians refuse to accept the currency, they can be cashed into materials at any time.
Tianhao felt like he was planting a seed on barren land. The seedlings grew slowly, but after all, they broke through the ground and saw green.
...
The development of Jeju Island is progressing rapidly.
Zhengjiang's fleet expanded rapidly in two months and now has six sea ships. According to Tianhao's order, the fleet is prohibited from disrespectful orders and intentionally deviating from the course. It is necessary to travel between the fishing village and Jeju City honestly to transport personnel and materials.
Tianhao knew very well that Zhengjiang didn't like to be restrained and was free from his temper, but rules were rules. He gained something from his previous two times of doing things without permission. He could only say that he was lucky. He would always encounter ghosts when he walked too much at night. At present, the importance of Jeju Island development overwhelms everything. If Zhengjiang commits a third violation of orders, he would not mind using this newly established typical to give everyone a vivid punishment education class.
