Destiny Only Han

Chapter 225 Deflation
"Why can't I understand what my father said..."

Liu Ying tilted her head slightly, pretending that she was really ignorant.

Liu Bang sneered and didn't speak.

The two sides were silent for a while before Liu Ying finally said: "Okay."

Liu Bangqi said: "Aren't you going to ask who?"

Liu Ying said with a smile: "It goes without saying, it must be the second father!"

Liu Bang froze for a moment, smashed his mouth, vaguely felt that something was weird, but still raised his head and asked: "Which of us is the father and who is the son?"

Liu Ying pretended to hesitate for a while, and then said with a smile when Liu Bang wanted to hit her: "I am a son, I am a son, okay..."

"Okay, okay?" Liu Bang was furious, looking around, but saw that the bamboo whip had been kicked into the corner by Liu Ying first.

He immediately burst out laughing.

"Okay, the brat is like me!"

In the next second, he changed his face and asked, "Since I'm the father, why should I get [-]%?"

Liu Ying also said sternly: "Actually, my [-]% is not mine alone, there are other people's shares too!"

Liu Bang was a little curious, and asked, "Tell me, is anyone involved?"

Liu Ying began to count with her fingers: "My mother, Aunt Cao, Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Tang Shan, Zhou Bo, Fan Kui, Xiao He, Chen Ping..."

At first, Liu Bang was still smiling.

Sure enough, as he expected, Liu Ying's ability to fool was limited to Lu Zhi and the women in the harem.

But listening to it, the expression on Liu Bang's face began to be wrong.

Too much!
And the people among them are either the important advisers around him, or the generals who can stand alone in the army!

Good guy, this little brat is getting better... Liu Bang looked at Liu Ying who was reciting the list of heroes in the early Han Dynasty with a dull expression, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After Liu Ying ended with Liu Jiao, Liu Jia and other Liu family members, she was very satisfied with Liu Bang's expression at the moment.

This is the situation he wants.

When everyone is deeply bound together, they naturally become natural allies.

Although they are given a lot of bonuses every year, things like money are endless.

And as a traveler who has been poisoned by consumerism for many years, Liu Ying has various methods to get back the dividends they got from her, and she can also make them owe her money again!
To be honest, limited by productivity and transportation conditions, the ancient business model is actually very simple. Any adult with normal mental development can hang and beat the natives after traveling.

But whether in ancient times or now, the most difficult part of doing business is not the business, but the part that sinks under the water.

So for Liu Ying, it is actually a simple model to play with business in the early Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang was silent for a while and asked: "You have recruited so many people to join, who will listen to whom?"

Liu Ying grinned: "Father, have you heard of different rights for the same shares?"

Liu Bang scratched his head, full of doubts.

Different rights for the same share is a mode of modern business, and he, a reckless man who was born in a pavilion, naturally wouldn't understand it.

So Liu Ying explained with a smile: "To put it simply, no matter how much shares other people hold, I still have the final say on all decisions..."

Well, in fact, the endorsement of the same shares with different rights is the modern law and the spirit of the contract, but Liu Ying's endorsement is the shocked bearded man in front of him and the hundreds of thousands of troops controlled by this bearded man.

The feeling of being a father is really good... Liu Ying smiled all over her face, and suddenly a doubt arose in her heart.

In the past, whether it was the coal and iron trading company he created or other industries, Liu Bang always just watched the fun and didn't think about getting involved.

After all, in his opinion, Liu Ying's is his.

No more money, no more wine, just ask for it from my son confidently...

So Liu Ying tilted her head and asked, "I don't know what father wants all this money for?"

Liu Bang's slightly dark face blushed miraculously, hesitating and making up a serious mess.

But immediately, he began to curse out of embarrassment.

Well, in fact, as a man, he also needs some private money.

In the past, most of the private money he saved in the small treasury was for buying wine and meat, and secretly gave it to Qi Ji and Mrs. Tangshan...

But it is different now, after those days of debauchery in Luoyang, the number of his harem began to expand rapidly.

As for creatures like women, once they have been together for a long time, they will almost no longer have awe of the identity of men.

After all, when you are in bed, everyone is naked, no matter what kind of prince or general you are, you still pant like a cow, and then you shiver for a while and then become dull...

And Liu Bang is a man with a good face, or in other words, he is a master who likes to swell his face to make himself fat.

Send Qi Ji a Zhuchai, what about Zhao Zier?What about Mrs. Guan?What about Lu Pheasant?
Well, forget about Lu Pheasant.

During Liu Bang's absence in Liyang these days, the Shaofu, which is the institution that manages the monarch's private income, has been completely controlled by Lu Zhi.

In other words, if Liu Bang wants to spend his own money now, he still needs to see Lu Zhi's face...

Therefore, he urgently needs a small treasury that is not controlled by others.

Hey, the helplessness of a middle-aged man... Liu Ying couldn't help but shed tears of sadness, and looked at Liu Bang who was trying to save her respect by swearing with sympathy.

After a while, Liu Bang asked back: "It's just about Naigong, what about you, what do you want so much money for?"

Liu Ying spread her hands and said calmly: "Actually, my pocket is cleaner than my face now. Not only do I have no money, but I also owe a lot to others..."

Liu Bangqi said: "Isn't your coal and iron trading company doing well? Didn't you just sell [-] ring-shou knives a few days ago? How come you have no money?"

Liu Ying glanced at him helplessly, and was too lazy to say anything to this kind of layman.

To engage in industry, especially many heavy industries, requires a huge amount of capital investment in the early stage.

In the later generations, Internet companies often raise [-] million or [-] million yuan, which seems to be the same in the limelight, but in fact, any local steel factory that happens to be stuck in a steel factory that is not shut down by the Environmental Protection Bureau can have tens of billions of dollars in a single investment in the early stage...

So if it wasn't for the all-out war between Chu and Han for hegemony, Liu Ying actually didn't plan to invest much in heavy industry.

To make money, especially in this era of handicrafts, it is most suitable to engage in textiles.

After all, the wages of women textile workers are almost negligible compared to the profits they can create.

Therefore, things that had a great influence on the industrial revolution in later generations, such as the steam engine, were first used by the textile industry.

Recently, Liu Ying's largest cash flow has been consumed by the textile workshop he handled in Guanzhong, which is similar to a welfare home.

In this workshop, no female workers are recruited at all.

Those who operate the textile machinery are all men.

To be precise, it is a wounded soldier who lost his limbs on the battlefield and was unable to support his family by doing farm work.

People always need dignity.

Giving charity to the other party is worse than giving the other party a decent job that can support the whole family with its head held high.

There are tens of thousands of Ande Guangsha, sheltering the world with joy.

This was a joke that Liu Ying made with Liu Jia when he was in Yangdi that day, but today, it is something he is actually practicing.

Liu Ying shook her head slightly, looked at Liu Bang, and asked, "Does father know that people in Guanzhong have started bartering again?"

Liu Bang was full of doubts again, frowning: "This is normal, folks have always been like this, is there anything strange about it?"

Liu Ying said sternly: "It is not surprising that small-scale or small-value bartering is not surprising. What is strange is that in many places, in many places where coins were used to trade in the past, bartering is also used. .”

Liu Bang was still puzzled.

After all, he is just a Sishang pavilion chief with a primary school diploma...

Liu Ying tried to make it as simple as possible: "With the successive battles ahead, money and food in Guanzhong are pouring out like water. In this case, the actual price of copper coins, which is half a tael, is far higher than its denomination."

"That is to say, things that could be bought for one and a half taels in the past are now only worth one-third, or less, half a tael."

"And this phenomenon is still spreading."

"In other words, copper coins have become more valuable."

"As a result, people are more and more unwilling to use up the copper coins in their hands. After all, when the imperial court collects taxes, they still need to collect part of the copper coins."

Guanzhong, or the entire Central Plains region, has always been short of copper, which has also led to coins made of copper, at least since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and have been used until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Bang scratched his head again and said, "Then what does this have to do with us?"

Liu Ying frowned and said, "Father still doesn't understand? Who benefits when the value of copper coins keeps rising?"

He didn't wait for Liu Bang to speak, and said directly: "It must be that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. This is also the reason why the people are unwilling to use copper coins for transactions, but return to barter."

"For example, the price of medium-sized fields connected to irrigation canals in the past was [-] to [-] yuan per mu, while those fields that can be used for shops or other purposes cost around [-] yuan per mu."

"Nowadays, the field has not changed, but the money that can be exchanged is less."

"And everyone knows that the war will always end. At that time, the value of copper coins will naturally fall. But during this period, what about those who sold their land cheaply?"

Well, people always need money in a hurry. In the era when there was no national bank, they either borrowed usury loans, or they could only sell property at a low price.

After Liu Ying finished speaking, Liu Bang was sweating all over his forehead.

So he raised his head and said, "Since this is the case, then we will also make money. Well, it is to melt all the money in the treasury and recast smaller and lighter money."

"In this way, the people will have money to use..."

　Well, in the early Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Lu Zhi once minted some coins, three baht coins, also called pod coins, which were the same size as elm coins...
