I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 415 Business, do you understand?

Fan Li's attitude was beyond everyone's expectations, including Xiang Chong.

But after hearing his agreement, Xiang Chong thought it was because the empress was so strong that Fan Li had no choice but to bow his head and give in.

"hey-hey!"

"One thing brings down another. Fan Li, have you ever been bullied by others?"

Xiang Chong was filled with joy and praised Fan Li for the first time, and then announced his resignation from the court.

"Jin Gong!"

"Jin Gong, stay!"

"Mr. Jin, what happened today..."

After retiring from the court, Fan Li was about to return to his home, but he was surrounded by Jiu Qing and other officials.

The ministers protested to him, with only one core idea: using five years of tax revenue as military expenditure is too expensive!

"Everyone, please be patient."

Fan Li thought to himself, don't talk nonsense, Yao Guang and I don't have even a dime of personal relationship.

Fan Li looked unhurried.

After Fan Li finished speaking, he smiled and patted the shoulders of several veterans.

"In terms of cultivation, a hundred Fan Li are not as good as Yao Guang."

"Everyone, don't worry."

"My dear ministers, I have already said in the court that I will handle this matter personally, so you don't have to worry."

"Mr. Jin, how can this be done?!"

"But..." Some people were still worried and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Jin, did you compromise because the empress was strong and you were afraid of her power?"

All the officials thought that Fan Li wanted to falsify the data.

"But..." Xiang Liang, an old minister, said worriedly: "I'm afraid I can't hide the amount of Da Chu's tax revenue for one year from Empress Yaoguang. The five years' tax revenue must be collected as soon as possible and sent to Da Ci. How can this be faked?"

When Fan Li saw this, he still smiled relaxedly.

What power?

"Of course the data falsification cannot be hidden from Empress Yaoguang."

"Half a year after the two currencies are issued in Dachu, I will use the [treasure banknotes] and [spiritual stone coupons] to collect five years of tax revenue and deliver it to the Daci Dynasty."

"But when it comes to doing business, a hundred Yaoguangs are not as good as Fan Li."

"Don't worry, everyone."

Seeing how calm he was, the uneasy mood of the ministers actually calmed down a little.

He shook his head.

"One month later, Dachu will issue two currencies, [Treasure Banknotes] and [Spiritual Stone Vouchers], which can be exchanged for gold, silver or spiritual stones of the same value as the face value."

The expressions of the ministers changed greatly!

"The wealth I have prepared for Daci is indeed comparable to Dachu's five years of tax revenue."

The ministers were confused after hearing this.

Issue currency?

Exchange equivalent gold, silver and spiritual stones?

It sounds convenient, but what's the difference?

Da Chu still has to pay five years of tax as a price?

"Jin Gong..."

Xiang Liang still wanted to persuade him, but Fan Li stopped him.

"rest assured."

"Everyone, don't worry."

"I just want to teach young Daci a lesson, a financial lesson called "Inflation".

One month later.

Dachu officials suddenly announced the issuance of [Treasure Banknotes] and [Spiritual Stone Coupons].

The people of Chu State felt it was very novel, but they were too afraid to try it.

On the first day of currency issuance, there was not a single successful transaction of the new currency on the market in Chu State.

But the next day, Fan's Trading Company issued an important announcement.

All industries under the commercial bank recognize the new currency transaction function.

Anyone can conduct all commodity transactions at Fan's Trading House with [Bao Chao] or [Spiritual Stone Coupon].

The bank under Fan's Trading Company also announced that it recognized the savings, investment, and lending functions of [Bao Chao] and [Lingshi Voucher].

Da Chu Official and Fan's Commercial Bank will use [Bao Banknotes] and [Spiritual Stone Coupons] as the only currencies for distributing salaries from now on.

At this point, the two currencies officially began to circulate in Dachu. …

…………

"Eldest sister, look, these are the [Treasure Notes] and [Spiritual Stone Coupons] from Chu State."

Lord Jinde placed two paper notes on the royal desk.

"This is a silver treasure note with a face value of one tael. You can exchange it for one tael of silver at any bank in Dachu, or you can directly purchase goods worth one tael of silver."

"The [Spiritual Stone Voucher] is equally useful."

"Storage treasures are expensive, and poor people who cannot afford storage boxes are now trading in portable treasure banknotes."

Empress Yaoguang was slightly stunned.

She picked up the two paper notes and looked at them for a long time, while Holy Lord Jin De next to her continued to talk.

"No wonder the Chu country is rich. Although that boy Fan Li is hateful, he does have some brains and can come up with such things as treasure notes and spirit stone coupons."

The empress put the two paper notes back on the table.

She was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Can Daci imitate treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons?"

As soon as these words came out, Holy Lord Jinde and Holy Lord Miaoyin both widened their eyes!

Imitation?

The eldest sister's intention was not to promote Daci's new currency, but to simply forge the Chu currency.

If the counterfeiting could be successful, wouldn't it mean that there would be as much gold and spiritual stone as possible?

This idea is simply... too sinister!

Gold and spiritual stones are rare things that are born in the earth, otherwise where would their value come from?

Forgery, however, has no quantitative limit.

No matter how prosperous the Chu State is, it will be emptied by Daci sooner or later!

Lord Jinde swallowed hard and said after a long time: "Sister, why don't we give it a try?"

"Ah."

A month later, Lord Jinde asked Empress Yaoguang to apologize.

"Eldest sister, my younger sister is incompetent and cannot imitate the Chu national treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons."

The empress was surprised when she heard this.

"Fan Li is only in the Nascent Soul realm, but you can't do what he can do?"

Jin De felt ashamed when he heard this.

"Sister, this matter has nothing to do with cultivation."

"It's all Fan Li's bastard. He actually promoted anti-counterfeiting science propaganda on counterfeit banknotes in Chu State."

"It turns out that there are some anti-counterfeiting marks on the treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons, including patterns, colors, numbers, etc. Multiple anti-counterfeiting methods make it impossible for us to copy them."

"And because the matter involved their own property, the people of Chu State actively learned from it, and now everyone knows how to identify counterfeit banknotes."

Empress Yaoguang was silent.

But after a brief silence, the empress sneered again and again.

"it is good."

"Fan Li can ensure that the currency cannot be counterfeited, but it is also convenient for me."

"Originally, I was worried that he would tamper with the issue of five years' tax revenue being used to offset military expenditures. Now, I only want Chu's treasure banknotes and spirit stone certificates. How will he respond?"

Jin De's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Eldest sister is wise!"

"As long as we get the money, if Daci is short of any supplies in the future, we will go to Chu State and buy whatever we want!"

Empress Yaoguang smiled and nodded.

This is exactly what she planned!

……

…………

Time flies, and another half a year has passed.

Fan Mansion, Jiangshan Pavilion.

Memorials piled up in front of Fan Li, but he immediately found the most critical ones.

"The Daci Dynasty has accepted all the treasure banknotes and spirit stone coupons that can be used to offset five years of taxes, and they are confirmed to be correct."

"The emperors of the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu listened to the advice of Duke Jin and established an adjustable currency exchange mechanism."

"The banknote printing factory has trained a thousand printing workers and its printing production capacity has been greatly increased."

"Empress Yaoguang has declared war on Shi Jingtang, and the army is about to set off!"

"Domestic market price consultation, one stone of rice is sold for two coins..."

Looking at the last memorial, Fan Li smiled.

The market is very cruel, does the Empress know?
