The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1000: Confrontation [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"So, it is really Chen Jian who wants to touch me?" Li Yao frowned.

He admitted that Chen Jian was very capable, but he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Now everyone looks like a fool to him, and the business tycoon looks like a pitiful creature to him.

As for Chen Jian, in his eyes, he was just a bigger bug.

Nothing but disgusting people!

"Using me to establish your authority?" Li Yao suddenly thought of this.

Chen Jian abandoned his past status and identity. To the Bingzhou court, he was just a scholar with a blank background. However, he was directly parachuted into becoming one of the nine most important ministers in Bingzhou. If he wanted to gain a foothold, he naturally had to establish his authority.

“But, why choose me when there are so many other people to choose? Then you will be…” Li Yao smiled and shook her head.

Even if you were once King Jian of Qi and controlled the caravans of the world, if you don’t understand the rules of business, you are still just a merchant after all!

"Your Majesty, please ask General Feng Jie to send a large army to protect me!" Li Yao thought about it and decided to meet this future opponent to see how to deal with him in the future.

As a businessman, he is now the uncrowned king sitting high above the clouds.

"The head of the family is afraid that the other party will become desperate?" the elder asked doubtfully.

"Nonsense, he was once the King of Qi after all. This kind of person would really do something shady if he's not satisfied!" Li Yao rolled his eyes.

Kings may not understand something, but they will overturn the table.

Therefore, although we are not worried about Bingzhou causing trouble, we still have to be on guard.

Therefore, knowing that the two countries' internal historians were going to meet, Ying Zheng also took it seriously. He not only provided Li Yao with the escort he requested, but also sent a team of shadow guards to protect him in secret.

So, this is what the situation was like outside Langmeng County on the day of the appointment.

"Ying Qushui!"

"Heguanzi!"

"Ahem, do you believe me when I say I'm just passing by?"

"Me too!"

Ying Qushui and Heguanzi met each other, and then they each retreated.

"..." Ying Zheng in Xianyang and Yan Yan in Beiye Royal City were both speechless after receiving the report, and then cursed each other for being inhuman and playing dirty.

"The dignified King of Qi has fallen to the point of being a minister to others!" Li Yao spoke first when he saw Chen Jian.

"The State of Qi has always been a subject of the Emperor. The Zhou Dynasty is a thing of the past, but the Emperor remains. I am a subject of the Emperor. This is loyalty." Chen Jian didn't care.

"Tell me, what do you want to do by calling me here?" Li Yao knew that her verbal skills were useless and could not break through the defense, so she looked down on Chen Jian and did not take him seriously at all.

"I heard that Mr. Li Yao persuaded the King of Qin to collect all the soldiers in the world, melt them down, and mint them into coins?"

"So what? You and Bingzhou can't stop it!"

"I can't stop it, but I can make the whole of China mourn and starve to death!"

"If bragging is useful, why do we need officials like us?"

……

As soon as they met, the two of them started to confront each other directly.

"They're not going to fight, are they?" The guard leaders on both sides looked at each other, doubting that if the quarrel continued, the two might really start fighting.

"As long as they don't use weapons, we won't move!" Feng Jie said after thinking for a while.

If a fight really breaks out, as long as no one is killed, they will just watch.

Once they take action, the situation will escalate.

Li Yao and Chen Jian started fighting each other, which was a common occurrence in the court.

But if the soldiers started fighting, it would be a political incident. They just had to stop them.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I want to know how much you know!" Chen Jian took a look at Li Yao's arms with rolled up sleeves, compared them with his own arms, and decided to remain calm.

"Why do you care how much I know? I also want to know how much you know!" Li Yao rolled his eyes. You rookie, even if you were the King of Qi, you still have to talk to me calmly.

Although force cannot solve most problems, it can make people talk to you calmly.

"Okay, I'll tell you how much I know!" Chen Jian clapped his hands.

When Feng Jie heard the applause, he subconsciously reached for the hilt of the knife. Seeing Feng Jie do this, the commander of the Yulin Guard also subconsciously reached out his hand.

But when he saw that the applause came from a few secretaries, he relaxed again.

"Look for yourself!" Chen Jian said, pointing at the manuscript on the table brought up by the clerk.

Li Yao looked at Chen Jian in confusion, then walked to the table and picked up the book on top to read.

But at the first glance, Li Yao's expression changed immediately. Others could not understand these things, but he did.

On the title page was the formula for the value of money, a formula that he had not yet fully understood.

"How?" Seeing Li Yao moved, Chen Jian asked calmly.

"He is harboring evil intentions!" Li Yao wanted to continue reading, but she knew her identity and did not continue flipping through the pages.

"You are the same, with a very evil heart!" Chen Jian retorted sarcastically.

One wants to control the right to mint coins and control the economic lifeline of the world; the other controls the world's commerce and travel and wants to control prices.

They are not good birds.

"Since you understand, let's be frank. What do you want to do by calling me here?" Li Yao took a deep breath.

I originally thought that Chen Jian didn’t understand and could slowly infiltrate and take control of the commerce and travel into the hands of the Qin State. But now it seems that Bingzhou had already been prepared.

"Bingzhou will provide Qin with the total value of all goods in the world, and Qin needs to provide Bingzhou with the total amount of currency issued!" Chen Jian said seriously.

Once prices start to soar, whether they go up or down, it is not a good thing for the world.

"This is not fair!" Li Yao shook her head.

The total value of the world's goods cannot be calculated by Bingzhou alone, because most of the world's goods still come from China, but Qin can actually control the amount of currency issued.

Therefore, it would be unfair to the Qin State to make this data public.

To put it simply, Chen Jian is trying to make a fuss about something he can't even do.

"But I can calculate the number of times the currency circulates, and I can control this number to a certain extent!" Chen Jian was not at all embarrassed by being exposed.

He has the most and largest merchants in the world, so he can decide the frequency of commodity trade and thus control the speed of currency circulation.

"I need you to make this data public as well!" Li Yao said seriously.

"What the hell do you want? Even if I let you have the data, this caravan still belongs to Bingzhou?" Li Yao rolled his eyes.

By mastering the number of transactions, they can reverse the patterns of caravan activities and then control these caravans.

Bingzhou would never agree to this.

"That means we can't come to an agreement!" Li Yao leaned forward, grabbed the table with his hands, and overturned it.

"Clang clang clang~" Swords were unsheathed, and the guards on both sides immediately guarded the two of them and looked at each other vigilantly.

Chen Jian looked at Li Yao calmly, not giving in at all.

"This law is reversible. If you don't tell me, I can figure it out with some effort. However, it will take time for money to flow into the market. The first to suffer will definitely be your Qin State!"

"What are you doing? You've been sitting for too long. Move around. Put the table back!" Li Yao looked at Chen Jian, then waved her hand to let Feng Jie and others go back, and she went to pick up the table.
