Chapter 184 Private Coins (Part 2)
"It takes about 5,000 troops to prevent the boss and colleagues of the former City Lord Qingyue from taking advantage of the situation," said Fer. Although he is not good at military affairs, he still knows the routines of the previous territories.
"Oh, you only need defense? The boss and colleagues of the Lord Qingyue City were destroyed. Wouldn't they send troops?" Kangs asked curiously.
"Then you have to see if there is chaos in Yuecheng and whether there are regular soldiers to defend. If there is no chaos and there are many soldiers, they will not send troops; if the contrary, they will probably attack immediately." Feier said immediately without thinking.
Originally, after hearing Qingyue City, he was preparing to loot Qingyue City and run away after hearing what Fair said, he became interested: "How could they be like this? Does Qingyue City have a bad relationship with them? Qingyue City won't ask for help from them, right? They are all under the same force."
Fair sighed and said, "There is nothing to do. Because the forces close to us, there are hostile forces behind them that are eyeing them. So if they cannot swallow us in one breath, they will not move.
"As for relationships, on this chaotic Feidu Peninsula, even close relatives will turn against their interests, let alone colleagues who will have an offensive battle at any time, so don't even think about asking for help from colleagues."
"The same is true for Qingyue City's boss?" Cons asked.
"Yes, the boss of Qingyue City is the lord of this force. In fact, he can only manage one or two cities. The lords of each city are just surrendering in name. However, sometimes, the boss of this force can use the general trend to weaken the power of the city lords.
"For example, the last time, the other city lords were jealous of the cavalry team of the former Qingyue City Lord and forced to pay tribute to two hundred war horses. If it was not aroused public anger, the boss would not open this word at all, and he would not pay attention to it even if he opened it." Feier said.
"What a strange relationship. Is all forces so far apart?" Cons asked.
"As close, only some emerging forces can avoid such situations as the king is not a monarch or a minister is not a minister at the beginning. However, when emerging forces become old forces, they will still take the old path." Fair nodded and said.
"No one is going to change?" Cons asked.
"How could it not be? This phenomenon occurs, mainly because of the two things that private soldiers and Shi Gao's feudal system. Therefore, most forces now give money to the heroes rather than enthrone Shi Gao. However, the retainers who were enthroned in the past have already been too big to be lost, so they still maintain the status quo." Fehr said.
Fair now encouraged Cons to implement this, because it requires military merit to enfeoff the Shigao Territory, but he is not good at military affairs. Since this is the case, it is better to share money. Anyway, he is the best at making money.
Cons thought for a while and ordered to the guards beside him: "Let the cavalry work harder, gather troops to patrol the border, and order Juan and Neil to select 4,000 troops from the militia and bandits, and start to station on the border.
"At the same time, sending a messenger to the entire territory, ordering all the heads of the wealthy family to visit Qingyue City, and inviting the mercenary commanders to come and gather."
The order was issued, and the cavalry team immediately boarded the horse and rushed out of Qingyue City without saying a word. Neil, who knew that the reward could not be carried out so quickly, immediately selected the troops happily and did not miss any opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Only if You An had some opinions, he was sent to the border to garrison as soon as he had just rested. It would be strange if he had no opinions.
Kaihai, who was not ordered, could only be busy with how to arrange the siege equipment at the head of Qingyue City.
After Fair left, when Cons took his personal guards to visit the Tianshou Pavilion, a noise came from outside the door, and then he immediately calmed down after a slander. Not long after, Xiang Wen took nearly a hundred women into the hall in sequence.
Cons pointed at these young women with beautiful appearance and figure in surprise, and asked Xiangwen, "Xiangwen, what do these women do?"
Xiangwen said with great help, "Sir, these are your maids, I have carefully selected them all over the city. They are all well-educated, intelligent and agile daughters."
These women may have been advised. As soon as the girl finished speaking, they immediately knelt on the ground and said in a crisp and delicate voice: "See sir!"
The sound was nice, but Cons was speechless.
Xiang Wen disappeared when he entered the city. He thought he had gone to control the stronghold, but he didn't expect to find these daughters to be maids. However, Kangs, who originally wanted to say something, saw Xiang Wen's tired face with a look of waiting for praise, sighed helplessly in his heart, nodded with a smile and said, "Well, you did a good job, then these maids are left to you to manage."
After receiving praise, Xiang Wen nodded happily as if he had picked up gold coins and said, "Of course, I don't care, who cares? Don't worry, sir!"
It’s not to mention that with this beautiful maid, the deserted Tianshou Pavilion immediately became lively, and Cons soon had a place to live.
In addition, the guards were all arrogant and had a lot of upright postures. Cons's personal guards were also unavoidable. Not only did they pay more attention to their words and deeds, but they also paid more attention to personal hygiene than before.
The next day, Cons got up with the waiter of several of the most beautiful maids led by Xiangwen. There was nothing unfamiliar with this kind of treatment. Cons was completely unwilling to these trivial matters. If Xiangwen came late, Cons might have done his own personal hygiene. Someone helped him just save himself some trouble and did not need to worry about it.
Of course, since Cons has this dispensable mentality, he did not notice the subtle behavior of several beautiful maids showing off their charm to him.
When we arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Weijie and Oaked had been waiting for a long time. Cons sat down cross-legged and smiled: "You can do whatever you want. This is not good at this Feidu Peninsula. There is no chair at all, so it is hard for them to kneel down all year round."
"Yes, there are so many trees in this place, why didn't I think of making chairs? It is said that this custom was from the East, which is a strange custom. I sat cross-legged for a day yesterday, and my feet were numb."
After a few words, Weijiehara began to report the situation: "Sir, according to the inspection, the inner city has stored more than 500,000 gold coins, more than 700,000 silver coins, and more than 5 million guan of copper coins. The gold coins and silver coins are both oval, and they are all one or two. According to the gold content, one is equal to three on the empire."
Cons didn't care much about this huge number. He didn't know what a small city could store so many coins. Instead, he was very interested in the "guan" and couldn't help asking, "What's going on with this Guan?"
"Sir, this silence is only a thousand copper coins, a long string, also known as a hanging coin. And our 100 copper coins are exchanged for a silver coin, so there is no such name." Weijie said.
Cons turned his head and asked Oaked, "If we want to exchange money through exchange, should we transport copper coins from here to return to the empire, then exchange gold coins, and then transport gold coins to exchange for copper coins?"
"Yes, sir, you can exchange a gold coin for the imperial copper coins here. This imperial gold coin can be exchanged for three guan here. After deducting the capital, it means that we have more than two guan out of thin air, which is two guan out of thin air, which is two guan and several guan in the imperial silver coins." Okde nodded and said.
Xiang Wen thought for a moment, blinked and interrupted, "It doesn't seem like there are many."
Okede said with a lot of laughter and cry, "Sister Xiangwen, there are certainly not many gold coins, but the number will be very large.
"If you exchange all the gold and silver that Lord Weijie said just now for copper coins, one gold coin will be exchanged for ten guans, and one silver coin will be exchanged for one guan. Qingyue City now has about 12 million copper coins, and it will be exchanged for imperial gold coins.
"And when this gold coin comes, it can be exchanged for four million flying gold coins, that is, forty million guan copper coins, and these 40 million guan copper coins can be exchanged forty million imperial gold coins.
"Think about it, just one out and one in, it's nearly four times. Once again, it's going to be 13 million flying gold coins, which can be exchanged for hundreds of millions of copper coins! After a few times, the number is extremely terrifying!"
Due to Xiangwen's strength, Cons's personal guards all called Xiangwen the eldest sister. As for whether he was the real eldest sister, they deliberately forgot them. However, Xiangwen's appearance, tone and expression are still easy for people to forget his true identity.
Xiangwen was stunned, Weijie was stunned, and all the guards present were stunned. Rett and Lei Kai even widened their eyes and opened their mouths and became stupid. Although they were honest, they also knew the value of money. Although they had known that they could make money by exchanging coins, they had never known as so clearly that they were so profitable!
Cons, who was immune to money, was just stunned for a moment. All the confidants were present, and they didn't care about being heard because the maid was not qualified to serve at this time.
Xiang Wen shouted with golden eyes: "Sir, leave this exchange to his subordinates! Just transport it back and forth a few times, the funds can be increased several times. What can you do to make money like this? It's like robbing the royal vault!"
Weijie wiped his saliva and interrupted, "Can you steal so much from the royal vault? I said it was raining gold coins, and countless money fell from the sky, endless!"
Okde smiled bitterly and said, "Please, this is just theoretically able to exchange so many. If the empire really has so many copper coins, it will definitely depreciate. If the Feidu Peninsula loses so many copper coins, it will also appreciate. In the end, the empire must be the same as the exchange rate here.
"Do you really think you can exchange money back and forth for a long time? Maybe it will attract the snooping of the Empire and the Alliance and directly destroy the Feidu Peninsula!"
"Zheng, what's the matter? We can make a big fortune anyway. It's impossible for adults to stay here for a long time." Xiang Wen said disrespectfully.
Okde shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Now we can transport these coins back to the empire, because these coins cannot be directly circulated in the empire at all. Small quantities can be exchanged privately, but large quantities can only go to the bank. However, such a large amount of coins will definitely attract the attention of the imperial department. If you accidentally cause financial turmoil, you will be wanted by the empire immediately. By then, you will not be able to get the fishy taste! "
Xiang Wen immediately became distressed: "What should I do?"
"There are two methods. One is to melt the coins from Feidu Peninsula and sell them as precious metals, but this will lead to a lot of losses." As soon as Okede said this, Xiang Wen and Weijie shook their heads and asked the second method.
Okde looked at Cons first, then bit his teeth and said, "The second method is the only way to avoid revealing the traces, that is, to mint the coins here into imperial coins."
As soon as these words were said, the whole audience was silent. Any sovereign state would be a crime of privately minting coins.
Cons, who had no consciousness about this, thought for a while and asked, "Can you distinguish it?"
Okeder, who was already ready to accept the scolding, obviously didn't expect Cons to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and said, "If it is made according to the metal content of the Empire gold coins, it is simply an Empire coins except for the new quality. If we deal with it as usual, we can't tell that it is newly minted."
"Do we have craftsmen who mint coins?" Cons asked again.
This time, Weijie replied: "Yes, sir, my subordinates realized that Feidu coins were minted by various forces according to the standards. And I looked at the list of craftsmen. Not only were there coin minters, but even blacksmiths, boat craftsmen, carpenters, cobblers, etc. If it weren't for the small number of people, it was like a country and had all kinds of talents. No wonder Qingyue City could become an independent force."
At this moment, everyone heard that Cons was preparing to mint coins himself, but for those who were mainly Kant, this was not a particularly important matter. After all, he was on the Feidu Peninsula now. Can the Empire find out here?
When Oaked saw Cons move, he reminded him with some concern: "Sir, it's best not to mint too many coins for the first time."
Weijie interrupted and said, "It's not okay to cast too much. There are only a few craftsmen. It's amazing to get tens of thousands of him a day. Moreover, this is a secret matter, so you can't add people at all!"
Cons smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a long flow of water. By the way, what are we good at minting? Gold or copper coins?"
"Copper coins, you can directly get them back for the Empire gold coins, and secondly, you have to exchange them for the Feidu copper coins." Xiang Wen said hurriedly.
However, Weijie retorted: "Sister, don't forget that there are only a few craftsmen, and the copper coins in stock are more than 5 million stags, which is more than 5 billion copper coins. The project is too big. Just melt the gold coins into imperial gold coins, and you can use them directly in the empire."
Xiang Wen curled his lips and said, "Of course I know, but although I directly moulded the Feidu gold coins into the Empire gold coins, it was a loss. One gold coins were missing 7,000 copper coins."
When everyone heard this, they felt at a loss. Just when everyone was worried and didn't know what to do, Cons smiled and said, "Don't think so much. Anyway, we don't lack money now, so it doesn't matter slowly melting and casting copper coins. If we need money urgently, we can use these Feidu copper coins to buy imperial supplies, and then sell imperial supplies to Feidu Peninsula. In this way, using Feidu copper coins to buy goods in the Empire, I believe that it is not eye-catching to exchange money directly for money, right?"
When everyone heard that in the empire, one hundred copper coins could buy a silver coin. On the Feidu Peninsula, even if you sell a Feidu silver coin, you will make three times the profit, but the profit is much safer, and the shortage goods can be sold twice as much, making more profits.
Thinking of this, everyone immediately praised it, and only a few words in Xiangwen muttered: "It's not as fast as directly exchanging coins."
Okede said a little embarrassedly: "My wise man, my subordinates are confused by the huge amount of money brought by the exchange coins. In fact, smuggling is also equivalent to exchanging coins, and it is more profitable and hidden. No wonder Qingyue City has to smuggle even if it is so rich.
"You must know that using money to buy goods like this will not attract attention at all, and Feidu coins can also be used openly. As long as we do not smuggle, the Empire hopes to have a few more such businesses because this is increasing export volume."
