In fact, Rong Shili understands everything, he just doesn't want to accept these realities.
Maybe he remembered how much King Kang appreciated him, or maybe he still had hopes for his former master.
It does not look at these things with a rational eye, but mixes it with human feelings, thus deceiving its own heart.
People are complex.
Shopkeeper Qi knew that it was no longer time for him to disturb him anymore.
After having a meal, he simply said that he had something to do and left in a hurry.
Before leaving, Chen Changsheng handed him a letter: "Please tell me, Shopkeeper Qi, to find someone to give this letter to Miss Yun."
Shopkeeper Qi was stunned for a moment, then agreed immediately.
Someone was sent to deliver the letter to Qingshan City that night.
Rong Shili and Chen Changsheng were the only two people left in the courtyard.
Chen Changsheng had a full meal and sat under the tree in the yard with his head resting on his head.
He looked cynical and very amused.
Rong Shili was very troubled. He was sitting at the stone table at the moment, thinking about how to change the current situation in the northwest.
He still clung to hope.
After a long time, Chen Changsheng came to the stone table and took a look at what he had written.
Rong Shili came to his senses and turned to look at him.
Chen Changsheng looked at what was written on the paper and asked, "So you want to start with trade routes and then slowly change everything?"
Rong Shili nodded and said: "Only in this way can the prince pay attention."
As a military general, King Kang not only cared about his army, but also money.
Chen Changsheng looked at what he had written, but shook his head and said, "Businessmen and the economy are closely related, and there are many twists and turns."
"Tell me about it," Rong Shili said.
Chen Changsheng said: "Look at what you wrote here, the reason for issuing additional copper coins is because most of the money is in the hands of the nobles, but in fact, such a blind issuance of additional coins will not work. This is a rule.
It’s unspeakable.”
After hearing this, Rong Shili was stunned and said, "Is there any rule for issuing additional copper coins?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "The amount of issuance can actually be roughly estimated. It depends on the relationship between supply and demand, as well as the price situation, and it is also related to the national economy. If you issue more at will, it is likely to lead to more
It is not impossible to see an economic collapse and the destruction of the country and the family."
Rong Shili looked at him and asked: "I have never heard of it..."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "Don't you realize that money is becoming less and less valuable now?"
"After the war, the price of grain, rice and noodles soared. At the same time, the prices of some daily necessities also increased. For example, in the past, a little money could buy a pound of rice and noodles, but now, it is still so much money, but you can't even buy half a pound.
You can't buy rice or noodles. If it's just the increase in the price of rice and noodles, it's actually nothing. However, the prices of many surrounding things have increased because of this, which indirectly leads to the depreciation of the currency, which means that money becomes worthless.
"
Rong Shili shook his head and said: "This is only temporary. Soon the government will come forward to balance the market price. It should not be said that the copper coin has depreciated, this is just a price increase."
Chen Changsheng asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what is the price of food now, and what was the price in previous years?"
Rong Shili paused for a moment after hearing this, but was a little speechless.
He fell into some kind of thought.
Copper coins and economy...
Chen Changsheng said: "You still have to think carefully when issuing additional currency. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be unbearable."
Rong Shili looked at him and said, "Tell me more."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said: "Chen is sleepy, let's talk tomorrow..."
After hearing this, Rong Shili looked at him helplessly and said, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "I can't explain it in one word. If you ask me to tell you verbally now, Chen may not be able to explain it completely."
Rong Shili looked at him, thought for a moment and then said, "When you think about it clearly, tell me."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Okay."
Rong Shili had some vague expectations.
He always felt that Chen Changsheng could bring him some different surprises.
He no longer thought about things in the northwest, but asked about Chen Changsheng.
"Are you familiar with people from Tang's Trading Company?" Rong Shili asked.
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "I just know their boss."
"I'm afraid you are more than just an acquaintance."
Rong Shili said: "As far as I know, there are very few people who can be guests of Tang's Trading Company, let alone the shopkeeper who just now not only arranged such a courtyard for you, but also came personally to deliver food."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng paused and said, "Don't you also know a shopkeeper? You are also King Kang's counselor. They won't disrespect you, but they will treat you as an honored guest."
Rong Shili shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I do know Shopkeeper Hong, but that's just him, not Tang's Trading Company."
"Um?"
Rong Shili said: "The influence of Tang's Trading Company is extraordinary. People don't need to curry favor with people like me. Many years ago, when the world was not in chaos, Tang's Trading Company was in charge of business hubs all over the world.
Basically all the goods will pass through his hands, and there are countless merchants attached to him."
"At that time, there were many court officials in the court who were funded by them, and they had close relationships with several princes in the early years. Now the four princes who have established their own empires also have human relations with them, and they still have no relationship with them until now.
So much so that in such a world, Tang's Trading Company has forcibly opened up a trade route to allow several princes' fiefdoms to trade with each other. This kind of influence is unmatched."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but murmured: "Doesn't that mean that wealth can be the enemy of a country..."
Rong Shili nodded and said, "You can put it that way."
He paused for a moment, then said: "But there are some truths in it that I have never thought about. Everyone knows that Tang's Trading Company is extremely wealthy, but no prince has ever thought about it, and they don't know the truth behind it.
Standing for something."
"Moreover, today's Tang's Trading Company is also a threat. It is particularly dangerous for a businessman to control the economic lifeline. However, several princes still accepted it. I still don't understand why."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think after hearing this.
"This boy Tang Mingjing..."
On the contrary, Chen Changsheng was a little confused.
Rong Shili looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "That's why I'm curious about your relationship with them."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "He's just an old friend..."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Rong Shili stopped asking, and instead said: "But you let me know, I really hugged you."
