Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1379 The same text as the book

  As for one tael, five renminbi, and one renminbi bank notes.

   It's probably the same.

   These paper notes contain Chinese poems, Ci Fu, and the treasures of the Ming emperor... everything, except that it has nothing to do with the Chenla Kingdom.

  Currency is the most basic tool. Everyone needs it, and everyone can take risks for it. All military and civilian activities are inseparable from it.

   Such a close relationship, everyone has it, but more or less.

   Then think about it, doesn't everyone need to see the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and even the Duke of Qi?

  Thinking more deeply, isn’t the text on the back a textbook that people carry around at all times, and every word in it will feel familiar over time.

   Some people even naturally understand what the words in the squares above mean.

  If things go on like this...what will become?

If in Chenla, everyone would recite hundreds of surnames and would have the Three Character Classic, with this foundation, coupled with those newly learned Confucian scholars, scattered in every corner of Chenla, ten, twenty, fifty years , a hundred years later, will there still be Zhenla?

  Fear was buried in the eyes of King Chenla.

  But he found that he was helpless.

   What else can I do?

  Looking at the five ministers who were getting closer and closer to Siyang Commercial Bank and Xishan Bank, as well as the panicked guards.

   King Chenla knew very well that the only thing he could do was to shut up, or...laugh!

   It's all over.

  Leave from Chenla Palace.

   Liu Wenshan and Liu Jin sat in the carriage with satisfaction.

  Liu Wenshan sat in the car with a surprisingly calm face. He opened his eyes and said slowly, "Liu Jin."

   "Ah..." Liu Jin looked up and looked at her father.

  He got to know his father again. In the bones of this great Confucian, it turns out that there is still a sword hidden in it. It kills people without blood, which is frightening.

Liu Wenshan looked at Liu Jin, and continued to speak slowly: "Now that the arrangement has been properly arranged, the next step is to stabilize the Chenla Kingdom. The Xishan Bank needs to purchase the old coins immediately. Of course, it is purchased at the current price, and it must be released immediately. In addition, in the Xishan bank in Chenla... there needs to be enough reserves to deal with possible runs. With credit, including the king of Chenla, and even countless princes and ministers in Chenla, As well as merchants, soldiers and civilians, once they accept the Daming banknotes, then... with the help of the Siyang Commercial Bank, the Ming Dynasty will be able to gain a firm foothold no matter how Chenla is. This... is also a signal to all countries, telling them that their country's The problem can only be solved by Siyang Commercial Bank and Xishan Bank. If they do not obey, then the King of Chenla will be their fate. If they are willing to obey, Chenla can still be used as a model. It is worthwhile for Chenla to dare to be the first in the world. It is encouraged and advocated, so... within half a month, all the chaos in Chenla must subside."

  "The son knows, the son will live up to his father's expectations."

  Liu Jin nodded obediently.

   Liu Wenshan smiled.

   Regarding this point, Liu Wenshan can trust Liu Jin very much. Liu Jin is a person who can completely stand alone.

  It's just...sometimes it's not easy to turn the corner.

   Pursing his lips, Liu Wenshan continued.

   "After half a month, when the situation in Chenla is stable, then we will contact other countries. All conditions are subject to Chenla. If anyone has doubts..."

   As he spoke, Liu Wenshan's eyes flickered, he couldn't help but paused, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and continued to speak.

"If the currency loses its credit, the situation in the country is bound to be unstable. Thieves are everywhere, and the morale of the army is even more shaken. Then...you Siyang Commercial Bank, in this country, find some important ministers and contact them in private. It is hard to find a three-legged toad. , but this king, isn’t it easy to find? There are plenty of them on this street.”

   "Understood." Liu Jin understood what his father meant and nodded heavily at him.

   If they don’t cooperate, Xishan Bank and Siyang Commercial Bank will work harder behind the scenes, and then secretly contact some high-ranking ministers to give them support. At this time of crisis, it is enough to put the rule of many kings in jeopardy.

   Either compromise, or the ancestral temple will not be guaranteed.

  The carriage was halfway through.

   Liu Wenshan got off the car suddenly.

   Along the street, there are ragged and barefoot people everywhere.

  They were dark-skinned, sitting on the floor, or hugging their children, or snuggling lazily. When they saw the carriage stop, dozens of guards lined up around them, and they all wanted to back away in fright.

  Liu Wenshan got out of the car, but his eyes were moist.

  This is the capital of the country, and if the capital of the country is like this, what will the catastrophic Angkor look like?

  Hell on earth, if you think about it, it's just like this.

  A bold child, barefoot stepping on gravel.

   Subconsciously, the child opened his hand towards Liu Wenshan.

   Both hands are bowed, showing the appearance of begging.

  His parents seemed to have seen it, were surprised at his boldness, looked anxious in the distance, and shouted at him.

  Liu Wenshan was silent, bowed and touched the child's head, and murmured: "If Zhu Menfan has empathy, why is it so? The king of Chenla should come to see what his people are like."

   Subconsciously…

   Liu Wenshan looked back and forth.

  Liu Jin opened her mouth wide and covered her sleeves tightly, looking very reluctant.

   Liu Wenshan's eyes sank, and he stared straight at him.

  Unwillingly, Liu Jin obediently took out a lotus leaf-wrapped pastry from her sleeve.

  Liu Wenshan took it and put the high point in the child's palm.

  The child was overjoyed and shouted. Immediately afterwards, countless children rushed out.

  Hungry children surrounded Liu Wenshan and the others, all looking at them expectantly.

  Liu Wenshan looked around at the sallow and emaciated children, shook his head helplessly, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, then looked back at Liu Jin, and ordered.

   "Think of a way. The Siyang Commercial Bank prepares some coarse grains. Let's set up a porridge shed here. Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least... it can make people feel better."

  Liu Jin nodded: "Oh."

  Liu Wenshan broke away from the child and boarded the car again.

   Sitting on the sofa, he frowned deeply, thoughtful.

  Sitting opposite, Liu Jin looked at his father strangely.

  He still loves his cakes. In order to save money, he is usually reluctant to eat them.

   Liu Jin suddenly thought of something: "Father..."

   "Huh?" Liu Wenshan came back to his senses, and looked at Liu Jin inquiringly.

  Liu Jin pursed her lips and said seriously.

   "Father, my son thinks that father is too reckless in front of the King of Zhenla." He paused, with hesitation on his face, and finally gritted his teeth and asked his confusion,

   "If the Chenla man refuses to submit, wouldn't dad be in a dangerous situation?"

   Liu Wenshan smiled, his eyes were dark, and he explained to Liu Jin very seriously.

"A gentleman waits for the opportunity to move, like a sharp sword. If you don't move, you will strike, and if you move, you will see blood seal your throat. This is not recklessness, but prepared. You know, the scene in the palace, as early as January. Before, I have rehearsed it dozens of times in my heart, I am a knife and a man is a fish, should I still be polite?"

  It turns out... this is not a momentary impulse.

   But come prepared.

  Liu Jin: "..."

  Damn it... my father and uncles are amazing.

  The only thing he is thankful for is that he has recognized a grandfather, otherwise, if he becomes an enemy with such a group of people, he will really be crushed to the point that not even the bones are left.

very scary!

   It's really scary.

  But at this time, what Liu Jin felt was full of happiness.

  It's just like the little luck that some people say in later generations.

happy!

  …

  Chenla quickly stabilized.

  As soon as Xishan Bank opened, it was overcrowded immediately.

  People can't wait to exchange old coins for precious banknotes quickly.

  Ordinary people may not know the creditworthiness of precious banknotes, but merchants in Chenla have more or less heard of it.

   With merchants taking the lead, many merchants even put up signboards directly in front of the shops, and when they only accept precious banknotes, the promotion of precious banknotes is extremely fast at this time, spreading rapidly like a plague.

  Many people in Chenla exchanged countless broken copper and iron for sheets of paper.

  Although the exchange price has reduced the wealth of many people a lot.

   But for them, being able to survive the immediate crisis is enough to satisfy them.

   Immediately afterwards, the Kingdom of Chenla issued a royal edict, all rebels should immediately lay down their weapons and forget the past.

   At the same time, although the national treasury was exhausted, the Chenla Kingdom finally borrowed a sum of money from the Xishan Bank and paid the military salary, and the morale of the army began to stabilize. The military horses preparing to counter the rebellion have also begun to sharpen their swords.

  Everything... is going well.

  The newly learned Confucian scholars began to move around to appease the hungry people. At the same time, they also recruited many rebels.

  More people are still immersed in learning.

  Precious banknotes are unfamiliar to most people.

  As for the lifelike person on this exquisite treasure banknote, they need to learn to identify what the ten taels of silver look like, who should be the head portrait on the five taels of silver, or one tael, five taels...one tael.

   Only by learning the difference between each currency, can you ensure that you will not be deceived when you trade.

  They worked hard to distinguish different Chinese characters, even if they were poor and illiterate people, they regarded this as a top priority.

  Especially when I heard that in some places, some outlaws actually took one-deno silver banknotes and pretended to be one or two frauds. Once the news came out, people had to guard against it.

  People desperately make distinctions, for fear of missing a detail.

  The text composed of squares gradually became familiar.

  At least... the vast majority of people, the first thing they need to understand is one thing...

   That is, there is a young man in a python robe on the front, which is worth a penny, but any guy who looks like this is worthless!
