For Chen Xi, Liu Bei has always been generous, and he will notice many details that he doesn't pay attention to, and this kind of detail is a benevolent performance for a general like Gan Ning.

Gan Ning appeared at Chen Xi's house one by one, simply put, he didn't go through the main door, but his approach is generally not annoying.

"Chen Hou, I'm back!" Gan Ning appeared directly in Chen Xi's main hall like a black shadow, and then said loudly, it was also because he saw the light that he would behave like this.

"What is this?" Gan Ning looked at the map that Chen Xi was rolling up and asked casually.

Chen Xi sometimes feels that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, the map drawn by Bai Juan is easy to open, but it is very difficult to roll it up without wrinkles, after Jia Xu and the others left, Chen Xi was rolling the map back and forth, but every time there were wrinkles, and finally had to re-roll.

This kind of behavior that was almost mentally problematic made Han Qiong a little blind, but she didn't stop Chen Xi's behavior.

"Map." Chen Xi was startled at first when he saw and heard the voice, and when he saw that it was Gan Ning, it was too late to roll up, and if he continued to roll, it would make Gan Ning, a vulgar-looking guy who was actually careful, pay attention.

"Oh." Gan Ning didn't ask much, he glanced at it casually, and didn't care, after all, that part of the Central Plains had already been rolled up.

Thanks to Chen Xi who put the Central Plains in his starting hand when he drew the map, if he put it in the middle, it is estimated that Gan Ning saw the traces of the Yangtze River, even if he didn't react at first, he would understand when he turned around. How can I say that every part of the Yangtze River has run all over Ganning, and it used to belong to his sphere of influence.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xi casually let go of the map he was rolling. He asked with a calm expression, "Surely the copper has been shipped back?" ”

"1.5 billion dollars worth of copper has been escorted back. We have built a large number of mines on Luzon, which are now in production, and the production will increase relatively much in the future. Gan Ning described the existing situation on Luzon Island, which made Chen Xi feel a lot more at ease.

At the beginning, Cao Cao captured so many captives, naturally it was impossible to raise them like that, how to say it was tens of thousands of strong laborers, some of them were tuntian in Yizhou, and the other part was transferred to Luzon for mining, after all, even if there were a small number of native tribes there, the population density was extremely low.

After filling in these people. The mine is only open, and for this reason, Chen Xi also transferred some craftsmen to Luzon and Yizhou, after all, it will exist as a material transfer place and bridgehead, which is a very important strategic point.

"Copper worth 1.5 billion yuan, yes, the Han Dynasty only made hundreds of millions of dollars a year, which is enough as a deposit." Chen Xi nodded,

The annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty was more than 30 billion yuan, which is equivalent to 300 million gold. But the money that is really minted is not much, and copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is enough as a guarantee, if it is really made into money, it is really not worth so much money for Chen Xi. It's a little more valuable as a guarantee.

To be honest, Chen Xi originally wanted to engage in the gold standard and then issue credit currency. But there is no such foundation in this era, and Chen Xi does not dare to mess too much. Use copper as a margin first, and wait until you have hoarded enough copper to destroy the entire system. Then use the gold as a margin.

Before that, Chen Xi felt that he might need to be tired and use himself as a credit certificate, this copper worth 1.5 billion yuan is actually just another guarantee, only use himself as a certificate, in case he misses it! Get some dead money, and you can go up in case of an accident, and copper, as a hard currency, is enough to solve the problem.

In fact, there was originally one thing that could be used as hard currency, that is, salt, but unfortunately, Chen Xi was about to stabilize the price of salt and completely destroy the salt price of up to 300 yuan a stone, which was twice as expensive as polished rice, and this was still the price after Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping adjusted the price of salt, what a hell!

Although the salt tax has always existed in the national tax as a very important item, but now because of large-scale manufacturing, the cost of refined salt has been suppressed to the point of a few dollars, and it is sold for nearly a hundred times the profit.

One hundred yuan This is Chen Xi's bottom line, you can tolerate higher than the price of grain, but you can't go too high, but if you really want to push the price of salt to ten yuan, unless Chen Xi uses force to guarantee and completely unify, otherwise once this kind of daily necessities is monopolized, the price will really be fatal.

As for using grain as a guarantee, it is actually okay, this thing is also hard currency, but the biggest problem with this thing is that the same weight of grain is larger than copper, and it is difficult to transport, and there is still a problem of preservation of grain, so it is quite unreliable.

"You escort those copper ingots to the courtyard of the Zhen family that was vacated before, and send someone to take a fancy to it, it's not so easy to take them away anyway, remember to pile them up." Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Xi's mind, and after returning to his senses, he ordered to Gan Ning, these things are mainly used to give clarity to other families.

"Whoa!" Gan Ning hugged his fists and saluted, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then I'll go and transport the copper ingots over, but I dare to ask, why hasn't the money village been paved yet, has something happened?" ”

"Actually, it's not too important, I sent people to Yizhou, Yangzhou, Yongzhou to discuss the problem of Qianzhuang distribution." Chen Xi said calmly.

Economically, let's take a step to complete reunification, as for the reason given by Chen Xi, it is uncertain whether Cao Cao and Sun Ce can agree.

But it's nothing, after all, this is just a temptation, even if Cao Cao and Sun Ce don't agree, something similar to Qian Zhuang in private will spring up like mushrooms after the family realizes the convenience of Qian Zhuang, and it can't be contained at all, and after this proposal, Cao Cao and Sun Ce will inevitably have to do it.

It's just that the recognition of the money bank established by the credibility of Cao Cao and Sun Ce is the biggest problem, and in the end, it is inevitable that the family will join forces to establish a money bank under the name of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

At that time, as soon as the two sides of the money bank come into contact, Chen Xi, as the ontology of the credit certificate, will be able to turn the two named money houses of Cao Sun into his next home in every minute, and this kind of thing can't be stopped at all.

At that time, it is estimated that Cao Cao and Sun Ce will either directly start pushing the money bank, or they can only pinch their noses and admit it, and then spend a lot of manpower and material resources to monitor the money bank that does not do anything else at all.

After all, unlike Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have no way to break away from the family now, and they really want to forcibly overturn the money village of the family group, and it is estimated that it is not far from the two sides to break up and play together, Chen Xi just greeted in advance.
