The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 304: Han Xuan shows his sincerity for peace, Luo Gongqi wants to make new money

"My lord, Han Xuan sent a document, hoping that you can prepare enhanced aphrodisiac pills for him. I'm willing to pay one gold per pill!" Xu Shu's hands were shaking as he read the white silk letter.

Luo Yuan turned around and asked, "What is Han Xuan doing?"

"My Lord, Han Xuan is going to be king!"

Luo Yuan understood immediately that Han Xuan was planning to become king. Becoming king was a great joyous event, so he would have to give something to reward his officials.

The most popular thing nowadays is aphrodisiac pills, but Han Xuan doesn't like the first, second, and third edition aphrodisiac pills that are popular among the nobles.

How could the gift he gave to his people after he became king be just some ordinary thing on the market? It had to be the best.

This is to customize a batch for myself. Since it meets my need for gifts and allows Luo Yuan to make money, it expresses the desire of Changsha and Jiangling to coexist peacefully.

Jiangling exported dried fish, porcelain, white paper, and finished medicines to Changsha, while Changsha provided Jiangling with iron ore, gold, medicinal materials, grain, cloth, etc. The trade between the two sides flourished.

Han Xuan felt that it was not bad to get along with Luo Yuan like this, which was better than a big war.

'

In order to become king, Han Xuan exploited the Changsha gentry a lot. He thought the gentry would be dissatisfied, but it turned out that the gentry seemed to have no effect. Relying on the specialties of Jiangling, the Changsha gentry made a lot of money. As long as Han Xuan stopped them from having dealings with Jiangling, they were willing to give Han Xuan some benefits.

In short, it was because of the trade with Jiangling that the gentry in Changsha became wealthy. They enjoyed the products of Jiangling and lived a better life.

Pang Tong had already returned from outside. He smiled slightly after hearing what Xu Shu said and said, "I have a plan to kill Han Xuan. Put poison in this medicine. Han Xuan will die if he eats it. Then Changsha will be within our grasp!"

Xu Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly. You are really not alone. "Who will buy our Jiangling medicine in the future? Now the medicine has brought us a lot of benefits. Various resources we need are constantly entering Jiangling. This is a long-term business, comparable to the benefits of salt and iron. We can't exhaust all the resources just because of Han Xuan!"

Xu Shu felt that he should do this business with Han Xuan properly. One pill cost one pound of gold. This was a huge business, worth a thousand gold.

Luo Yuan supported Xu Shu: "Shi Yuan, do you think medicine is just for making money? Of course not. Through medicine, I have promoted the logistics and trade of Jiangling, but the most important thing is that I plan to issue new money."

Luo Yuan intends to stabilize prices. The value of copper coins is too high now. The purchasing power of a five-zhu coin is too high, which is not a good thing for the people. The purchasing power of coins can only play the greatest role when combined with the corresponding economic scale.
"There are various coins on the market with different values. We must unify them and replace them with new coins to give full play to their usefulness. In the future, we can reap the benefits of the world through coinage," Luo Yuan said. "By then, the money of Jiangling will be the money of the world, which will greatly benefit our business and facilitate our stabilization of people's livelihood. This is the key. So this time, we must do business with Han Xuan normally and do the best for him."

Isn't it just an enhanced version?
Just add less flour.

You get what you pay for. Han Xuan is so sincere, how can I let him down?

Pang Tong was very interested in the new money and felt that Luo Yuan had not made it completely clear: "My Lord, do you plan to use the new money to circulate throughout the world?"
"Yes, the circulation of money throughout the world is much faster than our ability to conquer the world." Luo Yuan's goal is the entire world, and it will take a long time to conquer the world.

But it is different when money is circulated all over the world. As long as it can be guaranteed that Jiangling's new money can really buy things, then this money can be circulated all over the world quickly. People all over the world can know Jiangling and their own power by using Jiangling's new money.

The basis for issuing Jiangling's new money was Jiangling's products.

The value of the new money depends on Jiangling's productivity.

Porcelain, white paper, or other things, as long as Jiangling can keep producing new things, the purchasing power of the new money can be guaranteed.

The purchasing power of the new money can reflect everyone's confidence in Jiangling.

The logic behind this is very complicated, but later generations summarized it in one sentence: currency is just a credit product.

When the new money in Jiangling replaces the five-zhu copper coins of the Han Dynasty, Luo Yuan can then use the minted coins to reap the wealth of the world.

Others need to obtain Jiangling new money through trade before they can make things, but he can just make it directly.

Luo Yuandu designed the appearance of the new coin, a real copper plate. He also asked Liu Guangda and Huang Yueying to secretly design a machine to make the new coin, using the huge water conservancy of the Yangtze River to directly forge it.

The speed is definitely much faster than the current model casting.

Pang Tongyi thought that this was a waste of materials. Who would dig a hole in the middle of the cloth when making coins? That would save materials.

"Save a shit!"

Pang Tong just didn't understand. The round copper coins with square holes seemed to save materials, but the fire consumption and fuel cost did not need to be taken into account!

Metals like copper were money at this time.

Your own forging press can be turned on and forged for 20 hours without interruption, which is really cost-saving.

Luo Yuan planned to change the formula of bronze, increase the copper content, make the copper coins as good-looking as possible, and anchor the price of a steamed bun with one copper coin.

"Now I have a question. I plan to carve a portrait on a copper plate. Who do you think would be a good one?"

Pang Tong and Xu Shu were excited when they saw it, thinking that maybe their portraits could be engraved on it.

But when I think about it, it seems impossible.

At least it’s Luo Yuan.

"How many coins does the lord intend to issue?"

"These copper plates, silver coins, and gold coins. My head must be engraved on the gold coins. The silver coins and copper coins can be used to engrave other people's heads. One silver coin is equal to ten copper coins. The copper coins include one, five, and two, as well as five cents, two cents, and a few cents," Luo Yuan had planned it long ago. The gold coins are one hundred, and the silver coins are fifty, ten, and twenty.

In addition to his head engraved on the gold coin, other currencies can also have their portraits engraved on them.

.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu looked at each other. They were Luo Yuan's right-hand men and core figures, so they should be qualified. Not to mention silver coins, copper coins should be enough.

Xu Shu thought about it and said: "My lord, there is an emperor's portrait on the gold coin."

"If you want fifty coins, carve his head!"

"Not a hundred?"

Luo Yuan said as a matter of course: "Of course I am the one who is the 100th one. How can the emperor be the 100th one? At most, he can be 50!"

Pang Tong smiled and said he didn't care about such things. There would be a space left if the emperor's portrait was not used.

Xu Shu also considered the overall situation: "The Son of Heaven, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors... the sages of the human race are all qualified to be engraved on it. It's really hard to choose!"

What the hell!

I just wanted to carve my own head, but you turned it into the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Who can stand this?

Who knows what those people look like!
