The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was born, and my immortal identity was exposed

Chapter 19 The Magical Use of Banknotes (Please Collect, Please Recommend!!!)

While rubbing mahjong, Jiang Sheng said:
"Let me ask you, if copper coins or gold and silver are still used, it may be fine for our daily use."

"But have you ever thought about how much manpower and material resources will be spent to transport coins if a large transaction is carried out?"

"Let me ask you again, is there any loss of these metals in circulation? After the loss, do they need to spend resources to cast them again?"

Ying Zheng picked up a tube and typed them out, and nodded.

Da Qin spends a lot of bronze every year to mint coins, he knows this.

"The banknotes are not only convenient for circulation, but also can reduce the loss of these metals."

"The value of paper is far lower than that of gold, silver, copper, and iron. I told you that it can be made from tree bark."

Meng Yi is also in charge of papermaking work these days, and after gathering skilled craftsmen from all over the world, this work has already taken shape.

Hearing what Jiang Sheng said, he also echoed a few words.

"These are only superficial advantages, and there are even more terrifying things about paper money!"

Jiang Sheng lowered his voice, hooking Ying Zheng and Meng Yi's thoughts.

Only Wang Ben shouted excitedly: "Touch!"

"You know, whether it's copper coins, gold or silver, they will all be restricted by minerals."

"As for banknotes, you can print as many as you want!"

Ying Zheng caught a faint glimpse of inspiration and gasped slightly.

"No! Immortal Master, the coins don't come out of thin air. If there are too many printed and distributed, there will be problems!"

Although he doesn't know what inflation is, he also knows the truth that rare goods can be lived in.

The reason why gold is the top coin and the copper coin is the bottom coin is not because gold is rarer than bronze?

And before Daqin took over the right to mint coins, it was the minters who minted new coins.

Every time the price of the currency rises, this group of people mints more currency, which then depreciates in value.

If, as the immortal master said, the wanton printing and distribution of banknotes will inevitably lead to skyrocketing prices, it will easily lead to economic collapse.

"Seventy thousand!" Jiang Sheng played a card and was not surprised by Ying Zheng's words.

"Nonsense, won't inflation be caused by printing too much?"

"But what if, all over the world, the same banknotes are used?"

"Didn't you play Ying Zheng? Think about it, if it's still the situation of the Warring States Period."

"As long as Qin is strong enough, it will open up trade and do business with other countries, forcing their merchants to use Qin's banknotes."

"At the same time, it must be ensured that these banknotes can also be used to buy goods in Qin State, so as to dispel their doubts."

"I believe that with the advantages of banknotes, these merchants will soon be fascinated. Who wants to go out to do business and bring a car full of gold, silver and jewelry? How dangerous is it?"

"Over time, the surrounding countries have become accustomed to using Qin's currency."

"At this time, no matter how much banknotes you print and distribute, you can also use them to buy supplies from other countries and transfer the risk to other countries."

"Even drag down the Six Nations!"

"If the national power of the six countries is empty, wouldn't it be easier to rule the world?"

"In the same way, it can also be extended to the way of weakening the power of nobles and even conquering the world."

"Sometimes, this kind of knife that doesn't see blood hurts more when it cuts flesh!"

What Jiang Sheng said just now echoed repeatedly in Ying Zheng's mind, carefully deliberating the reasoning behind it.

The first is the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes. Papermaking technology is still under research and development. It is the top secret of Daqin, and no one in the world can imitate it.

As long as the papermaking technology is firmly in the hands of the royal family, even paper cannot be produced in the workshop, so how can we talk about counterfeiting banknotes?
The second is the promotion of banknotes, which he has enough confidence in.

It's just a different material, and then claiming that it is a treasure bestowed by the immortal master. Who would have thought that there are so many twists and turns hidden under this small banknote?

"Master Immortal!" Ying Zheng put down the mahjong in his hand, stood up and bowed, "This is the art of kingship, thank you Master Immortal for teaching me!"

"The immortal master really has the talent to know the world!"

Ying Zheng was ecstatic and excited.

Jiang Sheng's strategy really brought Ying Zheng a big surprise.

After the destruction of the six kingdoms and the unification of the world, in order to avoid the reappearance of the situation of separatism among the princes.

Ying Zheng, Li Si and others have formulated very forward-looking policies.

That is to abolish enfeoffment and adopt the county system instead.

In this way, the royal relatives and those nobles lost their foundation without land.

Yingzheng had had enough of the hardships that the nobles of the Chu State had given him, and treated these relatives and nobles like tigers and wolves.

My own family went to the ancestors to investigate, and they were still princes granted by the emperor of Zhou.

But problems also follow.

Is the centralization brought about by the county system good?Of course!

However, it's still the same sentence, Ying Zheng's steps are too big, and it's messed up.

On the one hand, the royal family and nobles are a threat to the imperial power, but on the other hand, they are also natural allies of the imperial power.

Now these two forces are being suppressed by Ying Zheng, and the Kanto Keqing family dominates.

Ying Zheng naturally thought that as long as he could live forever, the imperial power would not be threatened.

But Jiang Sheng had already told him last time that the first emperor died in the sand dunes at the age of 49.

Although the situation has been temporarily reversed now, he knows that the matter of immortality will eventually come to naught.

And after his death, among the many sons, no one could have his prestige and be able to suppress the group of guest officials.

Under the ebb and flow, the composition of power within Daqin will inevitably become unbalanced.

This point, from the perspective of future generations, is actually one of the driving forces behind the death of the Great Qin II.

Right now, Yingzheng only needs to firmly hold the right and ability to print and issue banknotes.

He can grasp the lifeline of the whole world!

When all paper money is used in the Great Qin, as long as the emperor wants to, everyone's wealth can be quickly devalued!
Using this as a bargaining chip can at least allow the imperial power to have a natural barrier!
What's more, in the future, Daqin's military front is bound to be directed at the whole world.

First knock on the door with banknotes, open the doors of all countries in the world, and let the trade between the countries use the coins of Daqin.

At that time, as Jiang Sheng said, if Qin State falls into a financial crisis, it can print and distribute banknotes arbitrarily, and hand over the consequences to other countries.

Support the Great Qin with the whole world, and in time, maybe without a single soldier, you can conquer the whole world!
Yingzheng really deserves to be an emperor through the ages, and he really has a long-term vision.

But he didn't know that today, thousands of years later, a country has already done this.

It is difficult for Ying Zheng to ask himself if he wants to control the world by force and suppress everyone's ambitions.

The conditions of Daqin are there, the population is not enough, and the transportation is inconvenient.

But if the whole world can be controlled and balanced by the economy, and then accompanied by the deterrence of the Great Qin soldiers...

The immortal master proposed this move, presumably hoping that I can really build an empire on which the sun never sets.

Yingzheng's chest was full of pride, and he seemed to see the black water dragon flag of Daqin flying in every corner of the planet.

"Stop flattering!" Jiang Sheng picked up another card, "Self-drawing, all of them! Give me money!"
