I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

A currency that only circulates locally?

Everyone looked at each other, and Li Youdao asked, "How can you ensure the local circulation?"

Luo Shixing's mind turned quickly: "We can cooperate with Alezhen."

Cheng Jingwei shook his head: "If he is not stupid, he may not be willing."

If they cooperate, it means that the currency system is in the hands of Luo Shixing, and it means that the lifeblood of the Ouluo tribe is also in their hands. Most people would not agree to this kind of thing. Even if it is cooperation, Ale really trusts the little lynx to return Believe me, the gap between the Han nationality and the Ouluo nationality is too deep.

Unless they sinicize the Ouluo people first and let them integrate into the Han nationality, but that is not an easy thing, it will take a long time of intermarriage and slow cultural erosion, and it will not be possible in a short time.

Of course, if Ale really didn't have the brains in this area, he might not disagree.

Luo Shixing was relatively indifferent: "It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate with him, we can do it ourselves, as long as we have lifeline products in our hands, such as grain. In the past, the grain of the Ouluo tribe was transported from other places, and then through barter If we buy it in the form of goods, if we sell it, the price will be lowered a lot, which is definitely an advantage in comparison.”

Cheng Jingwei was stunned: "You want to grow so much food for this?"

Luo Shixing felt a little guilty: "It's...not really, I just feel that I have food in my hand, so don't panic."

His hoarding of food also belonged to the days when he had eaten the last meal and had to think about the next meal. It was too scary, and with a large family, he was flustered if there was less food in hand.

And before the harvest, he didn't know how much grain he could have. The granary was always empty, so of course he wanted to plant desperately.

After the harvest began, he found that although the granary was not full, it was only a one-season harvest. This season was enough for everyone in the manor to feed for half a year. After two seasons, there was still a little surplus. The third season's rice was purely surplus.

The most important thing is that their soybeans have not been harvested yet, and there are plans to plant japonica rice next.

There is no problem in hoarding grain, but it is best not to let the grain become stale for a long time, so as long as there are no major changes, they will inevitably need to change the granary, especially if there is grain sent by Alezhen in it.

Those grains were not in season, that is to say, before the new rice came out, Luo Shixing and the others had been eating old grains.

They had to find a way to sell them. If it wasn't for this, Luo Shixing wouldn't find it troublesome to barter.

Because if they barter, they may not be able to use up the supplies they exchanged for so much food, and they will continue to enter in the future, so we must control it.

Everyone didn't want to think about why Luo Shixing planted so much food. Anyway, there is food to have everything.

And if the price of food is low, it will indeed attract other people to buy it.

Pei Xingben was very interested and asked: "But at the beginning, everyone didn't have any coins in their hands, so how do we trade?"

Luo Shixing said quickly: "It can be exchanged. They originally wanted to exchange things for food, didn't they? It just needs an extra procedure. If they want to buy food, they have to exchange the things in their hands for our currency first, and then use the currency to go shopping."

This process is probably the same as playing games in later generations. If you want to buy something in the mall inside the game, you must first exchange money into game tokens, and then use the game tokens to buy items.

This can be regarded as the wisdom of later game manufacturers, but the exchange ratio still needs to be carefully considered.

Cheng Jingwei has some experience about this, because the regime he established before was opposed to Li Tang, so he must have his own currency.

So he said directly: "Our currency can be directly benchmarked against Datang currency."

Luo Shixing nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right, I mean it is calculated on a one-to-one ratio, which is easier. A Tongbao is equivalent to one dollar of ours, and then the price is set according to the purchasing power of gold."

There is also gold circulation in the local area, and everyone also has gold jewelry and other things. Gold is relatively stable as a hard currency as a benchmark.

At this time, because the exchange ratio between gold and Tongbao is fixed, so as long as this is used as a benchmark, it will be fine to implement Datang's monetary policy little by little.

Of course, it's not that Luo Shixing doesn't want to use the currency system of later generations, the main reason is that he doesn't support it now, and everyone at the scene is used to the current system, so we can't let everyone adapt to him.

All in all, first establish a stable currency system, and then reform a little bit later.

It is impossible to reach the designated position in one step. If the steps are too large, it is easy to tear the eggs.

Everyone deeply felt that this method was not bad, Li Youdao said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that the lynx cat is also proficient in the way of managing the world and helping the people."

Economical to the people?No no no, this hat is too big.

He quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't, I won't."

Cheng Jingwei also laughed at the side: "Didn't you just say it very well? Why not?"

Luo Shixing subconsciously wanted to ask, what does that have to do with economics and economics?

It's just that before he could ask, he suddenly realized something. The term "economy for later generations" seems to be a simplified version of "Economics for the People".

He was silent for a while, and could only admit this statement with tears in his eyes, because they just put forward a concept, and if they want to fully realize it, they must continue to discuss and act. Not a mistake.

In the end, he could only sigh: "Any other questions?"

Cheng Jingwei nodded: "Yes, there is one biggest question. What kind of coins do we want to mint? Tongbao definitely won't work. What should we do in other forms?"

Luo Shixing said subconsciously: "Not using metal coins, that would be a waste of mineral resources, and we may not have so many mineral resources."

Cheng Jingwei was a little surprised: "You mean you don't need copper and iron? Then what should you use?"

Luo Shixing said decisively: "Paper! Make paper money, the paper money is lighter and easier to store, and it can also make more denominations."

Everyone was stunned: "Paper? How can paper be used as money if it is so thin and brittle? What if it breaks?"

Luo Shixing said: "So let everyone love the coins. If they are broken, you can come to us to exchange for new coins, but you need to discount them. The amount of discounts depends on the degree of damage. If the currency is broken into slag and you can't see the currency as a whole, then you can't buy it." be exchanged."

Cheng Jingwei slowly digested what Luo Shixing said, and he always felt that what Little Lynx said seemed to have been deliberated, or even not just deliberated.

No matter what kind of questions people ask, he can answer them.

Not only him, Li Youdao and others also felt the same way, and everyone was well-informed, knowing that some people in this world are talented beyond ordinary people.

Li Youdao said directly: "What kind of banknotes look like and what are they used for? These all need to be solved. Only after solving these problems can we talk about other things."

Luo Shixing rubbed his hands and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll make a version first."

Everyone looked at each other and felt that it was also a solution. They discussed it here for a long time, and whether it can be implemented at that time is the same thing.

Moreover, everyone is very busy during the double-grab period, and it is not appropriate to discuss these matters here for an afternoon.

Luo Shixing turned his head and hooked his fingers at Cheng Jingwei: "Ah Wei, follow me."

Cheng Jingwei reached out to hold his paw and squeezed it: "So frivolous, who did you learn from?"

Luo Shixing hissed and immediately withdrew his hand, and said as he walked, "Let's go, let's discuss the pattern of the banknotes."

Cheng Jingwei was a little curious: "What pattern do you want?"

Luo Shixing actually didn't have any idea. According to later generations, different banknotes are the scenery of different places. Now they don't have this condition, so they said: "How about using the scenery here? But it's not enough, the denomination is different, and the pattern of the banknotes must be different. .”

"Face value?" Cheng Jingwei asked, "What's the face value?"

Luo Shixing explained: "The value of different banknotes is different. For example, the value of Tongbao is the same, but if you buy expensive things, such as things worth tens of thousands, how inconvenient is that? Different face values ​​can reduce the printing of banknotes. quantity."

Otherwise, when someone buys something worth 100 yuan and directly takes out a hundred banknotes, the picture will be too beautiful.

While talking, Luo Shixing walked to the desk and wrote out the denomination, and then said, "Actually, a smaller denomination can be set, but I don't think it's necessary."

Although there are later generations, Luo Shixing does not intend to copy them all. Anyway, one dollar is equal to a treasure, and the purchasing power is the same, so the economic system is stable.

Cheng Jingwei took a look and counted six denominations ranging from one dollar to 100 yuan. He asked, "You mean that each denomination needs a different pattern?"

Luo Shixing nodded: "They're all the same pattern, and it's too difficult to tell them apart."

Cheng Jing smiled and said, "That's simple. If you want to use the scenery here, you can draw a picture and divide it into six parts. Isn't it enough for each part to be different?"

Luo Shixing's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You can have this."

Cheng Jingwei suppressed the smile on his face and said, "But this is also difficult."

Luo Shixing asked very humbly: "What's the problem?"

Cheng Jingwei asked: "If you want to draw patterns on banknotes, how many people do you need? And everyone draws differently, not to mention different people, even if it is drawn by one person, the drawing is different every time. This is basically impossible."

Luo Shixing was stunned for a moment: "Why use manual painting? Printing, draw a picture, and print it according to this picture, wouldn't it be the same?"

printing.

This is the second time Cheng Jingwei heard this word, he couldn't help asking: "What is printing?"

His question directly made Luo Shixing stuck, recalling the time when printing was invented on the spot.

After thinking about it for a long time, he remembered that woodblock printing only appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, and movable type printing only appeared in the Song Dynasty.

Luo Shixing: Gan, I have to figure out the printing technique first!
