Da Qin now has a vast territory, and it can be self-sufficient within the territory. However, Da Qin lacks high-end medicinal herbs. If it wants to develop and expand the army and cultivate talents in the academy, it needs a large amount of elixirs and medicinal liquids. It can only be purchased from those big countries.
.【】The currencies of those big countries circulate with each other, but they do not recognize the money in the cross-mountain area.
Each country in the Chaotic Continent issues its own currency. The currencies of countries that are similar and similar in size can be circulated. However, many large countries do not recognize the currencies of small and medium-sized countries, and can only exchange gold, silver or goods at equivalent prices. This
This is also the reason why the stored-value card of the Grand Chamber of Commerce is recognized by many countries. It can be consumed directly in chambers of commerce stores in various countries without worrying about obstacles to currency circulation. Of course, if gold coins are minted according to the equivalent value of gold and silver, circulation will not be a problem.
After Xu Sancai unified the Qin Kingdom, he naturally unified the currency. The coins in the territory were not made of gold and silver. After all, gold and silver are scarce precious metals and can be directly traded with big countries as currencies. After he collected most of the original currencies
It is smelted into gold bricks and silver ingots, which are used as currency in transactions with major countries, while domestic currency is cast from alloys and can only be circulated in the Qin Kingdom.
Xu Sancai transferred a large amount of gold and silver to Chen Dafu, but these gold and silver were limited after all. He wanted the chamber of commerce to prepare to issue its own stored-value cards. Once the stored-value cards were issued, a large amount of gold and silver would be needed to ensure that those who had stored-value cards could be guaranteed at any time.
Customers who value the card can exchange it for gold and silver of equal value. Therefore, even though the chamber of commerce now has a large amount of gold and silver, it cannot use it casually.
In order to purchase enough elixirs and medicinal herbs, the Chamber of Commerce can only sell Great Qin's goods to external parties. Most of those are daily necessities of low value, mainly relying on quantity, such as grain. Great Qin's current grain output is greatly
The growth has far exceeded the needs of the territory. More than 30% of the grain can be sold to external parties every year, and grain is one of the best-selling products.
Nowadays, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms have blocked Great Qin's external transportation channels, so it is naturally impossible to transport food and other materials. If Xu Sancai now wants to ensure the training of talents in the territory, he must have enough elixirs and medicinal herbs. Now the blockade of the Three Kingdoms
The development plan of Great Qin was threatened, so of course he couldn't just sit back and watch.
The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces mobilized another 150,000 troops in half a year. Now in Huanglin Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Great Qin Kingdom, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces have reached 300,000. However, in half a year, the wounded soldiers of the Great Qin Kingdom's troops have completely recovered.
Moreover, it received a lot of additional troops when it incorporated the Dongshi Kingdom. Now the Qin Kingdom has assembled 350,000 regular troops and 80,000 elite troops on the border.
There are three counties and cities on the border between Huanglin State and Da Qin State, which are just to the west of Da Qin State. They are the choke points for Da Qin State to go to the central area of the mainland. Of course, Da Qin State cannot let outsiders get in the way, Xu
Sancai originally planned to suspend expansion, but now it has been forced to change its plan.
This time Xu Sancai targeted the three medium-sized vassal states of the Dongling Kingdom. However, if he wanted to destroy the Three Kingdoms, he must find a way to contain the Dongling Kingdom. Otherwise, the current strength of the Great Qin Kingdom would not be enough to compete with the Dongling Kingdom.
In the conflict between the two countries, if the Dongling Kingdom comes forward, the Great Qin Kingdom can only give up halfway, and there will be constant troubles in the future.
Xu Sancai knew that the Dongling Kingdom was behind the Dongfang Family. Naturally, it was impossible to rely on other forces to contain the Dongling Kingdom. The only thing he could do now was commercial means. He immediately summoned Chen Dafu and asked him to mobilize all the power of the Chamber of Commerce to control the Dongling Kingdom.
Try to find ways to exchange copper coins into your hands as much as possible.
In order to avoid outside suspicion, Chen Dafu established more than a dozen chambers of commerce, including three chambers of commerce in major countries. As a result, the background of the chambers of commerce became even more mysterious. Even ordinary first-class powers would not easily offend large chambers of commerce.
With these backgrounds, I can naturally do things without being afraid.
As the closest big country to the Great Qin State, the Dongling State has naturally always been the target of great attention of the Great Qin State. As a secret auxiliary force of the Great Qin State, the Chamber of Commerce has of course also established a large number of branches in the Dongling State, in major counties and cities.
There are shops all over the country, and now there are more than 30 shops opened by nine chambers of commerce in Dongling Country. Although it is not possible to completely affect the economic lifeline of Tangling Country, it can be regarded as a considerable force.
The Dongling Kingdom has the backing of the Dongfang Family, so it is unlikely that it will be short of food by purchasing food, and it may also expose the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the Great Qin Kingdom. However, it is still possible for shops to secretly collect copper coins, and copper coins are the smallest
Although the currency units are numerous, they are not valuable. With the current wealth of the Chamber of Commerce, it would not be a problem even if all the copper coins of several first-class countries were exchanged.
However, the least valuable and inconspicuous copper coin is also the most important basic currency. Daily necessities such as ordinary grains and vegetables are all based on copper coins. If copper coins are missing, it will inevitably bring inconvenience to residents' daily lives.
Let the economy be completely destroyed, thus causing the country's foundation to turmoil. As the most basic copper coins, the number of coins cast by the country is also very limited. Casting copper coins requires bronze and steel, which are important military resources. Moreover, the number of coins in the country also has a certain limit.
Quantity limit.
Xu Sancai didn't make any big moves on the surface, but the armies in the three border towns were constantly changing defenses. On the surface, the numbers of the transferred troops were almost exactly the same, but secretly, he moved the relatively strongest troops in the regular army.
Gathered together, the 80,000 elite troops who have been serving as reserves and training at the base all year round are already ready for action at any time.
Although Da Qin is currently not short of elixirs in a short period of time, Xu Sancai cannot let this matter drag on for too long. This will make it impossible for Da Qin to sell many materials in time. The backlog of food and other materials will not only
This will cause huge pressure on warehousing, waste some fresh materials, and even lose the best price and timing.
Wang Youcai's intelligence system has been running non-stop. The intelligence of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces and Huangling Kingdom includes the distribution of troops, the storage and transportation of supplies, and the topographic map of the county and city. Of course, the small Huangling Kingdom cannot meet the supply of strategic materials for the 300,000 coalition forces.
, most of the supplies are transported from within the Three Kingdoms to the three border towns.
Xu Sancai did not dare to attack the enemy's grain road alone. However, he had asked the Thieves Guild to help collect a large number of fire rats. These fire rats were waiting to be dropped into the three buildings stationed by the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms when the Qin Kingdom was preparing to attack.
Border town, and with the help of elemental birds, he can ensure that all the materials of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces are burned.
