C266 Condition!
His Majesty frowned, because he understood the people's choice and could foresee it.
Xiao Yun said, "The consequence of tight clothing and tight clothing is what you should buy during normal days. If it is necessary, you should not buy it, because there is nothing better than money in your hands. It will make them feel safer. If farmers didn't buy new hoes, then the workshop that made the hoes wouldn't be able to sell them. If they couldn't pay the workers, they would be able to reduce the scale and even directly sell the hoes. What about the craftsmen? They didn't have jobs for a while, so they had to spend money every day. When they ran out of money, they naturally wouldn't spend it, and the city would decline. They began to tighten their clothes and shrink their food. In the end, they even bought less food. Or they could not afford it. If the grain merchants wanted to sell the food, but they didn't want to lose money. Hence, the price fell on the farmers, so the farmers had less money. They were even more reluctant to spend it. In the long run, it created a vicious cycle. Just like a closed loop, no one can escape. "
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, His Majesty was so shocked that his eyes were wide open.
In fact, he did know that after the catastrophe, a country would need a long time to recover its vitality. In fact, even after ten or twenty years, he still didn't understand why it would be like this... But now, Xiao Yun had revealed the truth with a single sentence!
Everything suddenly became clear to him.
At the same time, he thought carefully for a moment and said, "Zhen understands. Actually, Zhen only needs to take out a portion of money, and this vicious cycle that you speak of will be broken. It might even become better, right?"
Xiao Yun pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "His Majesty actually thought of this? This theory was passed down from the immortals in their dreams. He didn't expect that His Majesty would be able to come up with such a method even though he didn't have any inheritance. This is amazing!"
"Don't try to flatter others. I don't feel happy at all."
Although he said so, His Majesty's face still couldn't help but reveal a smile.
However, after laughing for a while, His Majesty felt that something was not right.
He thought about it carefully, and thought about it seriously. The more he thought about it, the better. There were no drawbacks at all. It was all good for the country, the good for the royal family, and the good for the people.
But because these were all benefits...
He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
"Why is this method so good that the wise sages have never thought of it? Among the wise sages, there are no lack of brilliant and brilliant people, and no lack of wise people. Why has there never been such a method? Did you, a brat who has never been to the border, say it? "
Xiao Yun blinked his eyes, opened his mouth, and let out a bitter laugh.
"It is normal for His Majesty to have such doubts. As for why he did not think of it... Your Majesty, how can you be sure that they did not think of it? The peasants thought that there were three possibilities. The first possibility was that someone had thought of it. It was even used, such as years of war in history. However, the more they fought, the stronger the country became. It was just that they never told anyone about it. They treated this plan as their biggest secret, and carefully hid it. Even if it was used by Qin Country, if it really succeeded... His Majesty wouldn't tell anyone about this, right? After all... This is something that others don't need to know about. "
" If that's the case... "
His Majesty nodded. No matter what, he would not take the initiative to talk about this matter to others. Even if his heart was itching, he would not say anything.
Xiao Yun continued, "As for the second possibility, it is like..."
Speaking up to this point, he waved at the eunuch and said softly, "Eunuch, please bring an egg."
Eggs were everywhere. He ordered the palace maids to retrieve them and in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they were brought over.
Xiao Yun picked up the egg and a smooth plate. He smiled at the Emperor and then said to the eunuch, "Eunuch, can you place this egg on this plate?"
The eunuch was stunned. He took the plate and the egg and tested it from left to right. No matter how he put it, the round egg would immediately roll and sway. It was a far cry from "standing up."
However, the eunuch could be considered a capable person. He used his strength to maintain a balance and made the egg stand up on the plate. However... it only lasted for two breaths.
His Majesty was also watching from the side with a frown. He was even eager to give it a try. He directly took the plate and tried a few times. However, he was not as skillful as the eunuch and could not even temporarily stand up.
"How is this possible?"
His Majesty frowned and stared at Xiao Yun. Clearly, he wanted to scold someone.
Xiao Yun smiled and walked over. He took the egg and used a little force to slap the plate.
With a crack, the egg broke into a small hole and turned into a base. The egg stood straight there and shook the plate slightly, but it did not fall.
Then he spread his hands and said, "Isn't it standing up?"
"This..."0
The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched violently and he said, "It's that simple?!"
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the matter is simple. After looking at it, it is naturally simple. But before this, His Majesty did not think this matter was simple. He even said it was impossible."
"You!"
His Majesty knew that he had been tricked again.
Just as he was about to get angry, he thought about it and understood the second possibility that Xiao Yun had mentioned.
If any one of them was the first person to do it, then why couldn't the first time be now?
His Majesty was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "It is indeed so. Actually, you should talk to me about this reason. I can naturally understand, but you insist on getting an egg. Isn't this a waste? Zhen is usually so thrifty, but you dare to waste it in front of Zhen? "
" Uh... "
The corner of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched and he stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a long time.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "As for the third possibility, it is also the most likely one. It is because we did not have such conditions before."
"Conditions?"
His Majesty was puzzled and asked, "What conditions? No before, but now?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "That's right!"
"What is that?"
"His Majesty imagined that if he asked you to take out a large sum of money to buy all kinds of resources before, would you be able to take it out now? "
"This..."
His Majesty calculated in his heart, then shook his head unhappily and said, "Of course I wouldn't be able to take it out."
That's right.
Money is copper!
If there were enough copper coins, could there have been a copper coin case before?
Not to mention buying things, even if they were to set out, it would not be enough. For many years, the salary of officials was all kinds of things, such as food, brocade cloth, gold and so on.
His Majesty spread out his hands and did not feel ashamed. In any case, this was a disadvantage passed down from the old ancestor, and it was not like he was going to be the scapegoat this time.
"Then it's that there isn't. What should we do? There was once no one, but now there is one?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Your majesty, have you forgotten? Although we don't have copper coins, we have gold coins! "
"Eh? "
His Majesty's eyes immediately lit up.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "No one used this method before. It might be because of the currency. Whether it is copper coins or anything else, there is always a limit to the quantity. The country does not have enough. It's not that you can get as much as you want, but gold coins are different. This thing... Hehe, you can get as much as you want! You just need to say one word and the peasants will make it for you!"
" Then hurry up and get some for Zhen! Zhen knows that you are now rich! "
Xiao Yun suddenly changed his imposing manner from before and put on the face of a businessman. Rubbing his hands and bending his waist, he swayed in front of His Majesty. Then he said, "You can take the gold notes, but Your Majesty... you have to write an IOU."
