"The value of the coin?" Ying Zheng was a little confused. Isn't one penny just one penny? How could it be two pennies?
"Yes, the value of the coin!" Li Yao nodded seriously, but she also knew that Ying Zheng might not understand it very well, so she turned around and looked around, took out a pen and paper, and wrote and drew on the paper.

"To put it in an analogy, this is the total value of all goods in the world, and this is the currency of the world." Li Yao introduced it bit by bit.

Ying Zheng nodded. He understood this. "That is to say, how many coins should we mint based on how many commodities we have?"

Li Yao shook his head. "Your Majesty is wrong. The value of a commodity does not require an equal amount of currency, because currency will circulate. A sale is equivalent to a circulation."

“So, it’s not that you need as much money as you have goods. Simply put, once goods are used and consumed, they lose their value, but the money remains.”

Ying Zheng nodded. It was very simple and he could understand it, but he also felt that he might need to grow a brain again.

"Everything in the world is easy, except the easy. I have also been studying an unchanging law of currency recently." Li Yao continued.

"Sir, you are a man of great talent!" Ying Zheng was sincerely convinced and bowed.

The fact that Li Yao dares to compare his research with the Book of Changes proves how terrible his research is.

Although I don’t quite understand it, I respect it.

“Although I haven’t studied it thoroughly, I have roughly grasped some rules and can make some simple attempts.”

"If this is accomplished, Bingzhou will have to act according to the will of Qin!"

Li Yao said confidently.

"Sir, please continue!" Ying Zheng also changed his previous address.

"It's probably like this: Qin controls the coinage rights, and how many Qin half coins to mint is decided by Qin. In this way, the value of the coin is also decided by Qin. Therefore, if Qin says how much the product is, then that's how much it is, and Bingzhou can do nothing about it!"

Li Yao knew that it was difficult to explain the process because he himself did not fully understand it, so he just stated the result directly.

"How horrible!" Ying Zheng was truly shocked.

What's the difference between this and saying what you mean?

He can decide the price of an item with just one word. He is the real God of Wealth.

"Sir, you can do your best and I will definitely help you with the whole country!" Ying Zheng promised solemnly.

It is highly unlikely that a full-scale war will be launched with Bingzhou, as no one is sure of completely killing the other.

Bingzhou was unable to annex the unified Qin State due to population, culture and other factors. If Qin could not completely cripple Bingzhou in one battle, it would suffer.

Therefore, if Qin can regain its ground in other places, it will certainly go all out to let Bingzhou know who is the boss of the world and avenge its previous humiliation.

"With your words, my king, I can do it with confidence!" Li Yao also smiled happily.

Since he gradually mastered this rule, he has been disdainful of those tycoons in the past who were known to be as wealthy as a country. What's the use of selling well or selling a lot? I am the man who can decide your life and death and your value with just a word.

The God of Wealth is no more than this!

"It's a pity that Qi Shang cannot be controlled in my hands. I don't know whether the emperor had discovered it long ago and did it on purpose, or it was just fate and his like-minded character that made him do it!" Li Yao looked towards the direction of Linzi and thought.

If it's the former, that would be really scary.

If it is the latter, it is understandable. After all, everyone knows that Yan Yan will not do business at a loss.

So, he prefers the latter.

It’s just that I can understand it, but does Chen Jian, the former King of Qi, also understand it?

"It's so much fun to fight with others!" Li Yao suddenly smiled with relief.

Even if Yan Yan and Chen Jian realized it, what could they do? The right to mint coins was in the hands of the Qin State. How could they still turn the tables?

It's interesting to have an opponent, and it can also speed up his enlightenment.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Yao, who was frowning in thought, furious, and grinning, and silently took a few steps back. He had heard that Dacai had an abnormal mind, but he didn't quite believe it.

Li Yao did not seem to be a talented person before, but after his epiphany, he seemed to have found his own track and began to become mysterious.

So, Ying Zheng now believed it and was also a little worried.

They were afraid that Li Yao would not figure out the rule and would drive himself crazy first, and then the Qin State would not be able to find a second replacement.

"Pay more attention to your master, do more things, and relieve some of the pressure on your master!" Ying Zheng whispered to the officials of the Zhisu Neishi Yamen.

He was really afraid that Li Yao would drive herself crazy.

He doesn’t understand Dacai’s world, and few people understand Li Yao’s track.

So since he couldn't find anyone to help, he could only relieve some of the pressure on Li Yao in other ways.

"Yes!" The officials of the Grain Administration Office also bowed their heads.

Even they can't understand what their superiors say.

If you are not in business, to you he is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you are in business, to you he is like a floating particle looking at the blue sky.

Even though they have followed Li Yao for a long time, they only have a vague understanding of Li Yao's ideas, methods and some strange theories. It is like a plankton seeing the blue sky, feeling frustrated and desperate.

Therefore, the only people who could really survive in the Zhisu Neishi Yamen were those who had no ambitions and just laid back. Others who were determined to get in could not stay in the Zhisu Neishi Yamen for long.

Linzi.

"Chen Jian, I will teach you two rules!" Yan Yan called Chen Jian.

After giving instructions to Chen Jian, he also had to return to Beiye Royal City and bring the Blood Cavalry back with him.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Chen Jian asked humbly.

"Last time you mentioned the pricing power that determines the price of goods. Do you know how the price is set?" Yan Yan asked back.

Although Chen Jian knew it, he was still thinking whether what Yan Yan was going to say was the same as his guess, so he still asked, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"First of all, let me tell you that the price of a commodity and the value of currency are inversely proportional. I don't need to explain the value of currency, right?" Yan Yan asked.

Chen Jian nodded. He was in this line of work, so naturally he didn't need to explain like Ying Zheng did.

"Secondly, the value of currency depends on the amount of currency in the world today!" Yan Yan continued.

Chen Jian took out a pen and paper and began to write down. He understood these simple principles.

"Then the value of the currency is determined by the total demand for currency in circulation and the existing amount of currency." Yan Yan continued.

"The value of currency is the total price of all commodities in the world divided by the existing amount of currency." Chen Jian continued Yan Yan's words.

"Yes!" Yan Yan nodded.

"So what is the demand for currency in circulation?" Yan Yan continued to ask.

Chen Jian pondered for a while, as if he had grasped something, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, "It's a caravan!"

"That's right!" Yan Yan was a little surprised by Chen Jian's reaction.

“The total value of goods minus the number of times the currency circulates is the amount of money needed in the world, and the amount of money determines the price of goods.”

Chen Jian started talking to himself, constantly recording his own insights.

"And the number of circulations is determined by the caravans."

"So, Bingzhou has no mint, and the total amount of currency will inevitably be blocked by Qin. If we want to break the deadlock, we have to set the price of goods and decide the number of times the caravans run..."
