CHAPTER VIII SELECTION
"The national fortune itself is not out of thin air. It will only depend on those who control the country. In other words, whoever holds the country has the national fortune. The higher the real power, the stronger the national fortune. Even if the national fortune carried by oneself is dissipated for some reason, as long as the real power is still in charge, it will be quickly compensated. However, even so, the reduction of the overall national fortune is inevitable. The so-called compensation is just taken from others."
Xu Yun was already completely sure what Zhou Wei was thinking at this time, so he naturally didn't mind giving more explanations.
"The growth and consumption of national fortunes are always closely related to those who govern the country. If you are a wise ruler, even if you exhaust your national fortunes and face natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can turn danger into safety, and give kindness to the world and make the national fortunes to a higher level."
Xu Yunyan said that as for this, he did not say anything more. As the saying goes, too much is too little, especially for people like Zhou Wei who have a very sensitive sense of politics.
"If that's the case, then how much can I get if I exchange all my country for gold and silver?"
Zhou Wei just smiled at herself, as if she had no worries at all.
"After all, it is the national destiny. Even if it is only ordinary for Pawnshop No. 9, its value is always there, and it should be able to pawn a lot of gold and silver, which is enough for me to use it for a while, right?"
"Oh? So straightforward. Even if it is beneficial to you, it actually has some harm, right? It's not uncommon for women to attribute natural disasters to women."
Zhou Wei's "simple" made Xu Yun a little confused, especially because she didn't seem to consider other things and directly pointed out gold and silver.
Obviously, he had a resolution in his heart, and he was already coming for gold and silver.
"Everyone loves money, so it is of course useless. As the queen of a country, I naturally have a lot of money, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But to be honest, I, the queen, need more money. Although the position of the queen is respected, if there is no real money and silver support, how many intimate people can there be in the vast palace?"
Perhaps feeling Xu Yun’s doubts, Zhou Wei took the initiative to explain.
"If the eunuchs and maids in this palace don't have to feed them with money, how can they run for me with all their heart? If there is no money to maintain the relationship between foreigners in this palace, how can they support me? And there are also ministers, loyal ministers, and honest officials in the court who can't count on it. It's a great blessing to blame them in an unknown way. Which of the officials has no selfishness and which one has no greed? This money! It's not enough to spend it, especially when the Supreme Emperor may have something to do. Really speaking, for me now, I'm afraid it's really three points more important than the national fortune!"
This... is truly worthy of being the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and there have been some arrangements inside and outside the palace.
If it were originally, the Emperor Jiaqing might have done something, but with this help, after Emperor Qianlong returned, he might not have been able to sit on the throne for as long as possible.
"It is naturally feasible to use national destiny to pawn gold, silver and jewelry, but before that, I would like to say that although national destiny is important, its value is not very high. There are countless foolish monarchs in all dynasties, and it is not difficult to just seek national destiny."
Xu Yun could think about how much Zhou Wei's power expanded in that world after receiving a large amount of gold and silver support, but would not do anything to hinder him.
After all, it was the Qing Dynasty. Compared to moving forward according to the original history, it was better to let Zhou Wei, who had the soul of Yanhuang and knew the experiences of later generations, take charge of the whole country.
Even if Zhou Wei is in the end, she may rule the world with her back and forth, can she be more defeated than Cixi?
However, after all, I am a pawnshop owner, so I still have to pay back the price, not to mention that strictly speaking, the value of national destiny is not that high.
"Overyone customers will not be willing to replace the national fortune. If they specifically find a wise emperor, it is not worth it, not to mention that even the wise emperor does not have many high-priced pawn items. Therefore, their value is inherent, but it is limited."
"It's okay, even if it's limited, its price will be gone? How much luck does I have in my country? How much gold and silver can I have if I'm all 'live'?"
Upon hearing Xu Yun's answer, Zhou Wei didn't care at all and laughed directly, but she said that the word "live" was particularly clear.
Obviously, Zhou Wei had already had an idea in her mind and would be decisive after she learned the general answer.
"Live?"
Xu Yun couldn't help but be stunned. The nature of the No. 9 pawnshop made it obvious that customers were more likely to be dead when pawning, so he didn't expect that Zhou Wei would choose to live.
However, Xu Yun immediately realized that "live" was indeed more suitable for Zhou Wei, who was determined to be the world after all.
Can you make plans at this time? Should you say that you are worthy of being the Queen of the Qing Dynasty?
"Since the store manager is worried that there is no such fortune in the country, it is difficult for me to do it. I can only use my life in exchange for some money to win people's hearts. When I control the court, I can naturally redeem it. Even if I need to spend two or three times the price, I can accept it."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yun was sure that Zhou Wei was as she thought, but she had no intention of refusing.
"The store manager doesn't have to worry that I can't get that much money. The Qing Dynasty may be poor at any time, but it was really too poor to go much later in the Jiaqing dynasty. Then Heshen's big treasure box is enough for me to redeem the country's fortune, and there is enough leftovers? Maybe I will ask the store manager for help at that time to see if there is something more suitable."
It's really amazing!
This is to show yourself that you will come to pawn the goods in the future and have transactions to ensure that you can do pawn the goods now.
"What you think is not just that, right? Since pawnshops in No. 9 will cause national fortune to be lost, then the national fortune can be increased by obtaining national fortune from No. 9. There are already great gains between each loss and gain. The subjects of the world can protect God."
"Huadang" is also an income for Pawnshop No. 9. Xu Yun did not refuse, but he followed the trend and pointed out all his inner small calculations.
In fact, Xu Yun was quite grateful at this moment, glad that he had never thought of relying entirely on deception and deception to gain much benefit.
Perhaps the customers who come are limited by the world where they are unable to understand the pawnshop's virtuality and reality, and will be deceived for a while, but in actual contacts, as long as a little wise person can detect the virtuality and reality, and not be deceived.
Just like Zhou Wei, although his "confrontation" with him was at a disadvantage, he did not give him much advantage.
What's more, although store managers can lower the pawning value by themselves to improve their performance, there are no limits.
If the customer really understands all the tricks, it is absolutely impossible to make huge profits. If you may even have to do a fair pawn, that would be a real loss.
"Of course, Pawn No. 9 only promises to pawn, but does not care about the purpose of pawning. However, I want to explain in advance that since it is a living service, the valuation of the pawn item is only one-fifth of its actual value, and if you want to redeem it, in addition to the income from the early payment of the pawn item, there is also a high interest expense, and if there is still no redemption at the time of the current period, the pawn item will be unconditionally owned by Pawn No. 9. Are you willing to accept such conditions?"
“No problem.”
Even if Xu Yun saw through his purpose, Zhou Wei was still very calm.
Only at this time, Xu Yun's words had learned a lot of information. If she needed pawns again next time, she could seek more.
"However, I'm a little curious. How to calculate the pawning period? Does it take one time for all heavens and all worlds? Or does the pawning time after 'live' is consistent with the time of the world I live in?"
"The life period is based on the time of the customer's world. Every year, the redemption amount will double. If it is less than one year, then it will be calculated based on the full year. If it is not redeemed for more than three years, the pawned items will be confiscated directly by the pawn shop."
Zhou Wei’s ability to ask that question is the advantage of the time traveler. It is impossible to deceive him with this, but Xu Yun had no such plan.
After several receptions, he has figured it out that he actually has a better way to deal with customers than deceit.
Otherwise, even if he had to explain because of the pawnshop rules, Xu Yun would not have let Zhou Wei know these details so easily.
"Of course, if you want to redeem it, you still need to pay it yourself. Of course, if you want to pawn something, you still need to prepare the pawn items. At least gold, silver and jewelry alone are definitely not enough, at least it must be something of some value like national destiny."
"It's pretty good. If the country's fortune is really as you said, then three years will be enough. At that time, you can get some things for pawning."
Zhou Wei's face changed slightly, but it flew in an instant. She smiled faintly, as if she had no awakening at all, and asked again.
"Please also ask the store manager to tell me if I choose to live all my national destiny, how much gold and silver can I have?"
"As the mother of a country, you are deeply trusted by the two emperors before and after, and you are able to participate in the government affairs of a country. Your majesty and power are all in your hands, and your national destiny is naturally not a small number, accounting for two percent."
This national destiny is no longer a minority, it is her authoritative withdrawal in the Qing Dynasty, and this is because she was unable to truly decide on the national policy.
At this time, Xu Yun was also a little hesitant. This person was obviously not a good thing to fool. If he gave him a low hand, he might be able to do something that he would return empty-handed.
If you really think that you can influence Qianlong's life and death by relying on the fortunes of the country, it would probably be impossible.
Even if it takes another five or ten years, Xu Yun believes that Zhou Wei can endure it completely and become the real leader of the Qing Dynasty.
"According to estimates, if you take all your national fortunes, you can pawn gold, silver and jewelry worth 20 million."
After all, it is a "living life" and it can be redeemed, and malicious price reduction is not very meaningful.
In fact, Xu Yun has slightly lowered the value of the country's destiny, but after all, he is a "living person". Strictly speaking, the value he gives is quite comparable. More importantly, according to Xu Yun's estimate, these are enough for Zhou Wei to bribe the court.
After all, he is already the queen and has power. This batch of gold, silver and jewelry is the icing on the cake and speeding up its progress.
"Yes, let's use this to pawn all the national destiny into gold and silver."
Sure enough, Zhou Wei nodded and responded without any hesitation.
"Then there is only one last question left. Can you tell me how to come if I want to come to Pawnshop No. 9 to redeem the pawned items?"
Zhou Wei's choice of "live" is to ensure that she can come again. After all, she doesn't know how to use the power of time and space, and she cannot guarantee that Xu Yun will take the initiative to give a pawnshop.
"If you are alive and can provide the power of time and space, you will receive an inquiry every year. After agreeing, you will consume the power of time and space to come to Pawnshop No. 9."
Although the other party "judged the abdomen of a gentleman by his villain's heart", Xu Yun did not mind at all. With a faint smile, Xu Yun casually placed a copper coin engraved with 9-word decoration in front of Zhou Wei.
"Of course, if you want to redeem in advance or have any other things, just hold this token in your hand and then pray in your heart. It will be invited to pawn shop No. 9 at a short time or a quarter of an hour. Of course, the premise is that you still have enough time and space power to come."
