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

Chapter 999 Li Yao and Chen Jian [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Chen Jian wrote quickly, stopping from time to time to scratch his head and think, talking to himself, looking like a madman.

"Will I drive him crazy?" Yan Yan was a little worried.

It would be a big loss if you managed to recruit such talented people and then let them drive you crazy.

He only knew some basic knowledge of economics and some common formulas, but he understood every word in these formulas but didn't know how to calculate them.

The total value of goods, the number of circulations, the existing amount of currency, these are extremely large things that change all the time. He really doesn't know how to calculate them specifically.

Both Chen Jian and Li Yao knew all this!

This is how terrifying these two people are.

Goods lose value as they are sold and used, and coins also become damaged.

How should we calculate and count these?

Yan Yan doesn’t understand!
There is one more key factor!
The monetary formula was based on paper money, but now metal money is used!

The biggest difference between metal currency and paper currency is that metal currency does not need to be guaranteed by the country's credibility, because it is naturally a currency and naturally valuable, while paper currency needs to be guaranteed by the country's credibility. Once the country collapses, the paper currency will lose its value.

Just think about the collapse of the mark and fiat currency during World War II to understand this kind of thing. Once a country's credibility collapses, it will completely lose its value.

Metal currencies are different.

The simplest way is that if the copper coin monetary system collapses, it will cause chaos in the world, and then copper coins will change from currency into murderous weapons and armor.

Compared with paper money, the advantage of metal currency is that if anyone makes me collapse, I can become a killing machine and kill the person who made me collapse.

In addition, another unstable aspect of metal currency is that gold is naturally a currency, and the mining and flow of gold into the market will also have an impact on the market monetary system.

The usage rate of gold is still very high in this era, and commodity transactions are mostly settled in gold.

The exchange rate between gold and Qinbanqian has always been different every day.

But when Yan Yan looked at Chen Jian's records, he found that all these things were also taken into consideration in Chen Jian's writing.

Although there is no effective method of checks and balances, all the problems have been marked out one by one by Chen Jian.

"Watch him, don't let him starve to death!" Yan Yan didn't dare to disturb Chen Jian anymore.

At first he could understand what Chen Jian wrote, but later on, he couldn't understand it anymore.

It was like he opened a Pandora's box for Chen Jian, releasing some unknown devil.

He nodded left and right and looked at Chen Jian cautiously, not daring to disturb him. He just provided Chen Jian with all the paper, ink and pens he needed.

"Tell everyone not to get close!" Bai Feng was also transferred to guard Chen Jian personally.

If the things written by Chen Jian were to get out and get into the hands of those with ulterior motives and power, more people would die than in a major war.

"I'm going to Xianyang!" Three days later, Chen Jian with red eyes finally walked out of the Palace of King Qi.

"No!" Bai Feng refused decisively.

What Chen Jian has now mastered is too terrifying.

Although they did not doubt Chen Jian's character and were not worried that Chen Jian would defect to Qin, would Qin release him if he went to Xianyang?
Look at Wei Liaozi, he ran to the State of Qin, how can he get out?

It doesn't cost much to support a person, but if you let such a person run away to the enemy country, you will suffer a lot.

What's more, Chen Jian holds something that can shake the economic lifeline of the world.

"Do you know how many people will die if the Qin State does not know how terrifying what I have in my hands is and acts recklessly!" Chen Jian looked straight at Bai Feng.

He didn't know whether Li Yao had control over the things he had in his hands.

If he could master it, Li Yao would know how terrible this thing is.

I was afraid that Li Yao would also explore and verify with only a half-understanding. Then the verification process would be too terrible.

Once Li Yao gathers soldiers from all over the world to melt coins without any restrictions, and lets the coins flood into the market indiscriminately, the prices of goods in the whole world will soar to a terrifying level.

By then, not only in Bingzhou, but millions of people in the whole world will starve to death.

"No!" Bai Feng still refused.

It was because he knew how terrible the things in Chen Jian's hands were, so he couldn't let Chen Jian go to Xianyang.

He doesn't care how many people die in the world, and it's none of his business. He can't let Bingzhou be restrained by Qin.

"Then I can not go to Xianyang, you let Li Yao come to see me!" Chen Jian also knew that his actions would be restricted, but he had to see Li Yao.

Bai Feng frowned. Li Yao's status in Qin was the same as Chen Jian's status in Bingzhou. It was impossible for Qin to let Li Yao come to Bingzhou.

"You can't make the decision, so let the Foreign Minister's Office notify the State of Qin and let Li Yao wait for me in Langmeng County. Is that okay?" Chen Jian did not make things difficult for Bai Feng.

He understands that it is his duty.

But now he had to determine how much Li Yao knew and mastered about these things.

So, Langmeng County is the best place to meet.

That place is where the Blood Cavalry of Bingzhou are, and it is also close to the Lishi Fortress of Qin.

"Okay!" Bai Feng did not stop him.

He really had no say in the matter, and only the Foreign Minister's Office had the right to meet with the nine ministers of other countries.

Bai Feng truthfully reported Chen Jian's request to meet Li Yao to Yan Yan.

In this matter, the Prime Minister's Office only has the right to arrange, not the right to decide.

"Let him go, and ask Dian Qing to send a team of Yulin Guards to protect him!" Yan Yan thought about it for a moment and agreed.

However, Chen Jian can go, but he must be protected by the Yulin Guards. Neither the Blood Cavalry nor the Red Flame Cavalry can do so.

"So serious?" Bai Feng had a better understanding of the danger level of what Chen Jian had.

Generally, the Nine Ministers of Bingzhou were only protected by the Jinyiwei and the Blood Cavalry, except for An Qisheng, who had a team of Red Flame Cavalry dedicated to protecting him.

The Yulin Guards were only responsible for protecting the emperor, empress and others.

Now a team of Yulin Guards has been dispatched to protect Chen Jian. This is not only protection but also surveillance.

"What he has in his hand is more terrifying than you can imagine!" Yan Yan sighed.

This thing is complicated, extremely complicated, and if it is mastered by outsiders, it will shake the status of the king. Therefore, the ancients rarely had the energy and ability to study it.

But this does not mean that it cannot be studied clearly.

Now the two kings of Qin and Bingzhou are not ordinary kings. They dare to let their subjects do research and are willing to delegate power.

Therefore, Chen Jian and Li Yao must meet to determine the extent of the other party's knowledge, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

"Isn't it to trick the dog into killing it?" Li Yao shuddered subconsciously when he received the invitation from the Foreign Minister's Mansion of Bingzhou.

The main thing was that he didn’t understand whether this was Chen Jian’s intention, or whether Gongsun Linglong wanted to beat him again.

"If Master Yan Lu wants to beat you up, he doesn't need to lie!" the family elder said heartbrokenly.

“……”Li Yao was numb.

But it is true. If Yan Lu wants to beat him up, he doesn't need to choose a time and place.

Moreover, this was an invitation via an official diplomatic letter, so Gongsun Linglong didn't dare to use Bingzhou's authority to do it even if she wanted to.
