I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 805, hidden worries in the prosperous age

When Liu Bei stopped talking about the big things, the atmosphere in the camp finally became lively, and Liu Bei was not stingy with rewarding wine and food, so that the generals who followed him could celebrate!The generals such as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu also relaxed completely to celebrate this hard-won victory.

When the banquet was over, Liu Bei left Yuan Ji behind!
A soldier put a delicate porcelain cup of tea on Yuan Ji's desk!
And Liu Bei himself took out a cup of tea, drank it and said, "Dagan's porcelain is getting better and better. It is said that we spend hundreds of millions of dollars on porcelain every year here in Tianzhu!"

Most of the people who followed Liu Bei were from noble families, even military generals. In the past, everyone didn't have to care about these things in the wilderness, even if they used pottery bowls to eat.

But after Liu Bei gained a firm foothold in Tianzhu, many civil servants and military generals began to pay attention to it again, and even Liu Bei couldn't stop it. After all, those who can come to Tianzhu with him don't need to doubt their loyalty. Now the conditions are good. He can't even say anything to improve his life!
Yuan Ji said calmly: "The porcelain factory in Tianzhu is already trying to crack this kind of porcelain. Maybe this kind of porcelain can become one of our Tianzhu's sources of income in the future!"

"Can our finances meet the rewards of the lieutenants?" Liu Bei was dissatisfied that the people who followed him began to be extravagant and lustful, because Tianzhu's finances had always been very tight.

And when he was short of money, his subordinates were still spending huge sums of money from dry silk, tea, sugar, and even all kinds of precious fruit wine to consume Tianzhu's little wealth. This is what he is most dissatisfied with. The place!
But now, although he has won the battle, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers who want to reward him, which is enough to bankrupt Liu Bei.

Yuan Ji said calmly: "We can definitely distribute the land here to the soldiers, and the tens of thousands of captives in our hands are also a huge fortune!"

It has become Liu Beijun's tradition to sell prisoners of war in Tianzhu during this period. As long as there is a financial problem, he will find a way to sell tens of thousands of Tianzhu people to the South China Sea, and there will be billions of dollars!So for Yuan Ji, with tens of thousands of captives in his hands, he doesn't have to worry about financial issues.

Dagan's development of the South China Sea has entered a period of acceleration. With simple infrastructure and docks built, a large number of reclamation sites in the South China Sea have entered a period of rapid development, and this requires high-quality labor to do things.

Compared with the savages in the South China Sea, the Tianzhu people have always been the favorite labor force in the South China Sea reclamation site. Over the years, they have purchased millions of Tianzhu labor forces from Tianzhu, but there is still a large gap, because of the lack of labor, the price of Tianzhu prisoners of war, etc. People are slowly rising instead!

Of course, this is not a legitimate business after all, and Liu Bei can't even talk about it.

He took a sip of tea and said for a long time: "Shi Ji, after defeating the Guishuang Empire, we have become the overlord of Tianzhu. Do you think we can issue banknotes?"

Liu Bei has long been dissatisfied with Dagan taking away a lot of Tianzhu's wealth with banknotes, but now he needs the supplies of Dagan, and these banknotes can also buy Dagan's goods, so he can only bear it, but now he He thought that Tianzhu had no power to threaten him, so he didn't want to bear it anymore, because he knew that only Tianzhu was still using Dagan's banknotes, and Dagan would always absorb Tianzhu's wealth to strengthen himself!
Yuan Ji thought for a while and shook his head: "Dagan's banknotes are issued by gold, cloth and grain equivalents. As long as the Dagan court can get these three things, their banknotes are real money!"

Then he smiled wryly and said: "But we have been fighting in Tianzhu for 10 years. We exchanged the gold accumulated in Tianzhu for thousands of years for weapons and artillery, and we exchanged the trafficked people for cloth and food. Now Tianzhu is poor and useless. A little more, nothing else, what do we pay for the paper money we found?"

After Liu Bei thought for a long time, he could only smile wryly: "Yes, we have nothing, who will use our banknotes with empty teeth?"

Yuan Ji thought for a while and whispered: "It's not impossible. We still have a population in Tianzhu. If a young man can exchange 3 yuan, we can support the issuance of hundreds of billions of banknotes with a population of one million!"

Liu Bei shook his head immediately when he heard this, and said, "Trafficking prisoners of war has made us stink for thousands of years. If we still use people as goods, I'm afraid we will be stink in a thousand years."

Forget about the prisoners of war and the nobles of Tianzhu, these are his enemies, even if he sells them, it is justified, but the other Tianzhu people are all the people under his rule. The people under the mortgage?

Liu Bei couldn't help but said: "Why does Lei Gong always have more and more money? We have fought against him for decades, and we have never heard of Lei Gong being short of money!"

Yuan Ji smiled wryly and said: "I have to admit that Lei Gong is a genius of the sky. He created a brand new world. This world is more than 10 times stronger than ours. This is the reason for our crushing defeat!"

After hearing this, Liu Bei was silent for a long time and said, "Could it be that we really have no chance to defeat Lei Gong?"

Obviously Liu Bei still misses the big man, and wants to return to the old capital!
Yuan Ji thought for a while and said calmly: "Lei Gong is extremely successful as an emperor. It can even be said that none of the emperors of my Han Dynasty is more successful than Lei Gong. An emperor like him comes out every 500 years, and only when he annexed the Six Kingdoms Only the first emperor can compare!"

"However, Daqian is not without hidden worries. When the first emperor ruled the world, he did not expect that the Qin Dynasty would die in the second generation. Lei Gong said well that the collapse of the Qin Dynasty did not lie in the stupidity of the second generation, but that the officials of the Qin Dynasty were facing a new era. world, but they used the old system of war results to manage the Qin Dynasty, so the Qin Dynasty collapsed."

"The same is true for Dagan now. Dagan is a brand new world. Everyone doesn't know how to manage this world, and what is the principle of how this world works. Now Leigong has a high prestige and can suppress everything, but when Leigong After death, Dagan may collapse!"

Liu Bei doubted: "The prosperous age of Daqian is so strong, there is no sign of collapse at all!"

Yuan Ji said with a smile: "Minggong, don't be confused by these appearances. Lei Gong can be said to be very holy. Judging from his actions in these years, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a holy king for three generations. There has never been a king in history." Any emperor like him regards caring for the people as his lifelong career, the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least. Lei Gong has really done it."

"But I don't think such a system can be maintained. His requirements for the emperor are too high. This requires Daqian to be a holy king like Lei Gong. Is this possible?"
