Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Cao Chong put modern management technology into the Three Kingdoms, which made Haidilao a hit, and it was crowded with people on the first day of opening.

At the end of a busy day, Zhou Buyu settled the accounts. The consumption of hot pot that day, plus tables, chairs and beer packaged and sold, was a full 100 million yuan.

This is not counting the money for top-up members.

But Cao Chong was very happy, earning 100 million yuan a day, and exchanged for the currency of later generations, it would be 300 million red tickets. I had never earned so much in my previous life, but in this time and space, I earned it in a day.

Hahaha, surprise, surprise, excitement!

"Hurry up and pack all the money you earned today to the young master's house." The money must not be disclosed, and Cao Chong is really worried that he will be robbed if he puts 100 million in a hot pot restaurant.

However, when packing the money, Cao Chong had a difficult time. There were no banknotes in the Three Kingdoms, and they were all real gold and silver metal coins, so it was really troublesome to pack.

There are several boxes filled with 100 million yuan of currency, and five carriages are ordered. If you transport money to the prime minister's mansion like this every day, it doesn't mean telling others that the carriage is full of money. Come and grab it.

Alas, banknotes are still convenient!
Hey, by the way, I have a thousand catties of paper, I can make banknotes myself!

"Ding, the host has a new task, to manufacture banknotes and successfully circulate them, there will be rewards for completing them."

"Oh, you super stingy system, you are finally standing on the same front as me."

"If the host doesn't like it, the system will do the opposite to the host in the future."

Cao Chong: "..."

Let me just say a few words about you, you even pushed your nose on your face.

Well, you are the father of the system, you are awesome, you are amazing, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

Facing the powerful system, Cao Chong could only give in.

After he accepted the task, he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with 100 million yuan, found Cao Cao immediately, and reported the situation to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was naturally overjoyed, a hot pot restaurant can earn millions of dollars a day, if he opened more restaurants in Xudu, wouldn't he be making a lot of money.

Cao Chong didn't think so, "Father, hotpot restaurants should be refined rather than numerous. My son has already established a brewery and a furniture factory. By then, these will also bring us benefits."

"I didn't expect my son to be so economically minded. It's really a blessing." Cao Cao was very happy.

While Cao Cao was happy, Cao Chong proposed the idea of ​​making banknotes.

After all, the matter is of great importance, without Cao Cao's consent, Cao Chong would not dare to act recklessly.

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor’s chaotic government, canceled the five baht coin that had been in use for 400 years, and implemented a new monetary policy. As a result, inflation, rising prices, and market chaos were caused. Finally, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xudu and changed back to the previous five baht. money.

This allowed the market to return to normal.

Now that a new currency is to be created, hundreds of officials will inevitably oppose it. Without Cao Cao's support, Cao Chong has no idea.

"The idea of ​​replacing metal currency with paper money is indeed a good idea, but the quality of the paper becomes especially important, but with the current papermaking technology, it may be difficult to provide durable paper."

Cao Cao is a smart person, so he naturally knew the benefits of using paper money. However, although papermaking technology was available during the Three Kingdoms period, the quality of the paper produced was very poor. After writing a few words, it turned into paste, let alone made into paper money for circulation. .

"Father, please rest assured that my son has the best Chu paper here. This kind of paper is of good quality, and this is the only one with no branches. In this way, we can also prevent counterfeit banknotes from appearing."

A thousand catties of Chu paper, don't use it now, let alone when.

You must know that in the Zhao and Song dynasties, commerce was unprecedentedly developed. In order to facilitate transactions, people appeared banknotes, and the paper used to make banknotes was Chu paper.

Cao Chong now has as much as a thousand catties, so it would be a waste of resources if he didn't take it out.

"Oh? Seriously?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

"Really!" Cao Chong replied.

"Well, my father will ask you a few more questions. If you can answer well, my father will allow you to create new currency." Cao Cao continued.

Cao Chong had already prepared, "Does father want to ask, how to make banknotes circulate successfully?"

The five baht coin has been used for 400 years, and it has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds. It may be difficult for the world to accept it when it is suddenly replaced by banknotes.

"That's right, that's what I'm worried about for my father." Dong Zhuo's example can be seen there, and Cao Cao doesn't want to follow Dong Zhuo's path.

Cao Chong already had the answer, "This problem is easy to solve. Now that Xudu is a special economic zone, we will start circulation from Xudu first."

"Anyone who eats at Haidilao or buys Cao's products must use banknotes to buy. Not only that, but official products such as food, salt, and iron in Xudu must use banknotes in the future."

"In addition, Haier will set up a bank to provide currency exchange services for everyone. Metal money is stored in the bank and exchanged for corresponding banknotes. The bank will start saving money to earn interest, small loans and other businesses to stimulate people to spend with banknotes."

"Of course, there is a more important one, that is, the salaries of the officials are no longer calculated in grain, but in banknotes, and the consumption tax is added. In this way, whatever the officials need, they must use banknotes to buy. There is also an additional taxation path, and the people in Xudu will naturally accept banknotes."

"When paper currency is matured in Xudu, with Xudu's influence, it will naturally circulate throughout the country."

"At that time, Cao's Bank was the only one in the world that could exchange metal currency for banknotes. At that time, service fees were required to exchange currency. We would have made a lot of money from it."

Cao Cao was very excited. He didn't expect that a banknote could hide huge profits. It not only facilitates circulation, but also increases tax revenue. It can also produce new industries such as banks and make money for the prime minister.

This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone, how can Cao Cao disagree.

"Okay, you go ahead and do it boldly, and I will take care of you as a father if anything happens." Cao Cao slapped the table and made a decision immediately.

"The child will definitely not let the father down." With Cao Cao's words, Cao Chong will have no worries, and he can give it a go.

Anyway, if something goes wrong, Lao Cao will take care of it, so what should I be afraid of.

"It's getting late, father should go to bed early, and my son will leave first." Cao Chong got up and was about to leave.

It's getting late, it's time to go back and sleep with Diao Chan.

The couple still have to do shameful things at night.

"You come back first." Unexpectedly, Cao Cao did not agree with Cao Chong to leave.

"Father still has something to do?" Cao Chong frowned.

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and said, "The chairs in the hotpot restaurant are really comfortable to sit on. You can bring some back to Weifu tomorrow. Weifu is too old to kneel and sit for a long time, and his knees can't bear it."

"Success, it's all trivial." Cao Chong readily agreed.

Cao Cao laughed happily, he was still filial to Chong'er, and he didn't hurt in vain.

"However..." Cao Chong's words suddenly changed in the next second, "Father, you are the head of all officials, and if you want a chair, you have to pay more!"

Cao Cao: "..."
