The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

Chapter 1891: Funds are tight

"How could such a thing happen?" When Li Mu received Qin Guo's telegram, he didn't feel that it really happened.

"The prime minister, we must make some decisions now. A train loses connection. Such a thing may affect the relationship between Zhao and Qin." The Minister of Economy said worriedly. The relationship between Zhao State and Qin State has finally eased a lot, but such a thing will only make Zhao State's situation worse.

"En." Li Mu nodded, frowning.

"This matter, I think, must be resolved quickly." Li Mu said after thinking about it.

"The surrounding troops should be ordered to search and advance along the railway line quickly. We have to figure out what happened in the first place and what caused Qin's train to lose contact. We must figure out this as soon as possible. Something." Li Mu issued an order.

Subsequently, the Zhao State sent his own army to participate. Qin also told Zhao what they knew as soon as possible.

Qin State Xianyang.

"What kind of goods are carried on the train?" Shang Wen asked. Shang Wen felt that the goods on the train might also cause unnecessary troubles. Shang Wen felt that this was the case. Because of his feeling, there was something wrong with this matter, so he asked.

"En. I checked this. What are the specific goods shipped? I don't know, but the unit that shipped the goods is here." Meng Yi said and handed a list of goods to Shangwen. Shang Wen took a quick look. Some companies that transport goods above are mainly accessories and equipment. However, there are awe-inspiring Qin State Wenyang Bank, as well as one or two Qin State commercial banks.

"The bank also has goods in it?" Shang Wen asked when he noticed something different.

"Yes." Meng Yi replied.

"Huh." Shang Wen exhaled.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Meng Yi asked as he looked at Shang Wen's expression a little uncomfortable.

"Yes." Shang Wen replied.

"If what Wenyang Bank transports is banknotes. Or gold." Shangwen told Meng Yi of what he had imagined.

"In this case, there will be a lot of chaos in the Zhao State market." Meng Yi himself didn't know what would happen. Or the chaos of Qin's banknotes. Or the chaos of gold. In short, there must be an unforeseen chaos.

"En. To find out these things, we need to understand these things clearly." Shang Wen said.

"Okay, I'll do this." Meng Yi nodded and said.

"En." Shang Wen nodded. No matter what it is, Shangwen believes that this incident may trigger a chain reaction. As for what kind of reaction it is, Shangwen is still unclear, but one thing is certain. That is, the gold chaos caused by Qin's banknotes will continue. As for moving in that direction. Shang Wen is not clear enough.

Although it's a bit confusing. But Shangwen still feels that it is necessary to keep a clear head and get things done.

"Suppose. The train transports Qin's banknotes." Shang Wen began to speculate at this time.

"So, in this way, there will be a large number of banknotes in the market reaching South Korea, and the supply of banknotes is sufficient, which will likely trigger a larger-scale gold rise." Shangwen hypothesized. And Mo Li, who was sitting next to the copywriter, looked at Shangwen at this time, because Shangwen seemed to be assuming the same as herself.

"If it is gold, then the price of gold will fall quickly. However, now an accident has occurred. Gold did not arrive in time." Shang Wen continued to assume.

"Then the price of gold in the market will rise rapidly because gold is not supplied in time. In this case, gold will rise rapidly." Shangwen hypothesized.

"There is another possibility, that is, half of the gold and half of the paper money are being transported." Shang Wen assumed.

"If this is the case, then it doesn't make much sense." Shang Wen said.

"But for now, there are quite a lot of paper money. But the amount of gold is very small." Shang Wen said.

"The price of gold will continue to rise. If this continues, the system with Qin State banknotes as the main currency will collapse quickly at the beginning." Shang Wen said.

"Such a situation is the last thing Qin wants to see. In the system of maintaining paper money, at this time, we should also take action." Shang Wen said.

"It's just." Shang Wen thought of one thing at this time.

"It's just that if we make a move at the moment, will there be power to help us? Whether the current Qin government's gold reserves can trigger more banks to sell, if it can't trigger the bank's gold reserves to sell, in that case, Qin The predicament of the Chinese government is even greater." Shang Wen continued to hypothesize.

"In this case." Shang Wen felt that he was under a lot of pressure. The current situation requires a large amount of Qin State to maintain the current status of Qin State banknotes, and there must be no sudden collapse. If the previous expansion of the State of Qin was a tentative one, then this time is the beginning of an economic system established by the State of Qin with Qin State banknotes. The Qin State paper currency is a kind of foundation of this economic system, if there is no such foundation. If banknotes collapse at this time, then the entire economic system of Qin will collapse. At this time, Shang Wen felt a little depressed.

"Have you thought of anything?" Mo Li asked Shangwen at this time.

"No. No." Shang Wen said at this time.

"This is an economic system that can firmly connect the entire world." Shang Wen said.

"This kind of connection is an economic connection, that is, each country is different, but they have their own expertise. For example, Zhao has a lot of coal, South Korea, and Wei has a lot of people. There are also people in Chu, but they have agriculture. Greater diversity." Shang Wen said.

"If in the future, these things can be connected. Each needs and wants. The localities will be unified. The possibility of war will be much reduced." Shang Wen said.

"So, we are doing this now. First, we must use a large amount of paper money to stabilize the current situation. This is the first step for Qin to establish this system." Shang Wen said.

"At present, this step is really difficult to go." Shang Wen said.

"En." Mo Li nodded.

"It's just that I don't understand something." Mo Li asked Shangwen at this time.

"What?" Shang Wen asked.

"Why have you always emphasized economic power instead of Qin's military power? This is different from any previous prime minister of Qin. Moreover, economy, such a new vocabulary, seems to be a fashionable vocabulary." Mo Li asked Tao.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"Know?" Shang Wen said.

"A country is really strong, not its military power. Your military power can be slightly inferior, but your economic power must be the first." Shang Wen said.

"Economic power is invisible, and it is a force that is easy to ignore. Shang Yang's reforms in those days actually changed Qin's economic power. When the economic power rises to a certain level, military power can be transformed through the economy. In my opinion, the previous state of Qin was only an agricultural country, and the plan to popularize this kind of agricultural experience is certainly so good. However, the state of Qin lacks a certain degree of particularity, that is, it does not give the economic characteristics of various regions If this is the case, although the Qin State can be unified, there are still big problems in economic relations. If the follow-up policies are not followed up or improved, a big situation will occur." Shangwen said.

"So, what is this situation?" Mo Li asked Shangwen.

"There is a potential split." Shang Wen said.

"This country is divided again, just like the princes countries after the entrustment of Zhou Tianzi. They may once again cause greater wars, and it will not be possible to resolve the current situation until all disputes are resolved. However, they are all destroying the original. The act of shuffling the basics again." Shang Wen said. Shang Wen has the habit of studying scholars. He believes that the Chinese history he came into contact with was a very strange circle that was destroyed and rebuilt again. It was built according to the original model, but after it was built to a certain level, it was destroyed again, and then rebuilt again. Anyway, it was difficult to make a step out of this wandering around. Shangwen did not want Qin to continue this habit since the beginning of feudalism. He hoped that Qin could set an example and change the current situation.

"That's why you emphasize the economy every time like this?" Mo Li asked.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and admitted.

"It's just the current problem. It's a big problem. It's just that I don't know how to solve this matter." Shang Wen said.

"You can go out and change your mind, or in other words. You can collect other information to assist." Mo Li suggested.

"En. I will accept it, I need to try it." Shang Wen said.

Just when Shangwen tried to look at this issue from another angle. After Qin's major banks learned of this news, they began to quickly investigate the specific situation. At the same time, they also began to actively transport the gold in their hands to Zhao Guo. Because they know very well what will happen next.

"Wenyang Bank's goods are also on that train. What is Wenyang Bank going to deliver? Do you know?" the bank director of Xianyang Merchant Bank Union asked an assistant next to him.

"This." The assistant didn't quite understand what the director thought of.

"This shows that Wenyang Bank has been involved in the rise of Zhao Guo's gold. I have already said that there must be something with Wenyang Bank. Now it seems that whether this is a rumor or is it true? , Anyway, Wenyang Bank has already intervened in this matter. We must figure out a way as soon as possible." The director began to ponder this matter.

"Regardless of whether it is paper money or gold being transported. The price of this gold has risen so much. In such a short time, it has soared to more than two hundred gold for one gold. Such benefits have skyrocketed. There are many gold producing areas. The thing is, gold will certainly not be too valuable in the future. The Qin government will not ignore it. The Qin government also has a large amount of gold in its hands. Now everyone has put paper money on the Zhao State market, and work is going on everywhere. Construction and raising funds, where did Qin State get so much funds. At this time, it is absolutely right to exchange gold for funds and a large amount of banknotes. Absolutely, absolutely." The director said to himself. . And the assistant on the side still didn't understand what was going on.

"Quickly, notify our vault to withdraw the gold. Contact the railway company and deliver the gold in the hand to Zhao Guo as soon as possible. Quickly. Go." The director quickly ordered to understand the truth.

Inside the headquarters of Wenyang Bank.

"Chairman, the deputy prime minister is here. He said that he wanted to find out what the goods we were transporting? What was the goods on the train that lost contact?" Lu Wei explained hurriedly, afraid that Yingyu would not understand.

"Oh." Yingyu looked at Lu Zhi at this time.

"You said?" Yingyu thought of something.

"En. Tell the Deputy Prime Minister that we are also investigating. If there is a result, we will tell him. Now. Let our trader enter Zhao State immediately and get all the trains bound for Zhao State as soon as possible, whether it is a truck or All the buses are bought, and we need to transport all the gold in our hands to Zhao Country." Yingyu called out loudly at this time.

And Lu Zhi was frightened by Ying Yu's loud shout. I don't know what to do anymore.

"Hurry up, do this as soon as possible." Yingyu ordered. Yingyu suddenly realized. The last moment has come. Wenyang Bank must be the first to disperse the gold in its hands. Otherwise, you will be extremely passive.

Shang Wen carefully searched for some information in his office. Shangwen felt that something should be detectable from some information.

"En." Shangwen rested his chin and placed all possible documents on the ground. He looked at these documents carefully.

"It's a mess, but where is the beginning of the matter?" Shang Wen said while looking at the documents on the floor.

"Where?" Shangwen said while looking at the surrounding documents.

"Whether it is currency or gold, it is currency in circulation. Within a certain period of time, currency in circulation has both demand and supply conditions." Shang Wen began to calmly analyze.

"If this is the case." Shang Wen said, he took out all the places Qin State needed funds.

"The northern part of the Qin State, the Western Regions, and the Hexi Corridor, etc., have begun to build a large number of railways. These places need sufficient funds. Qin's bank cooperated with the local city bank and distributed quite a lot of paper money. Then Say it like this." Shangwen analyzed.

"The supply of banknotes in Xianyang, and even in the entire Guanzhong area, is much less." Shang Wen said.

"Then Zhao Guo. Zhao Guo joined Qin's currency system, so Zhao Guo also needs a lot of banknotes. Where do these banknotes come from? Xianyang." Shang Wen said and took out Zhao Guo's documents.

"These banknotes need to be replaced. Zhao's nobles, as well as all kinds of Zhao's people, pledged their assets to the bank, and then exchanged them for a large amount of banknotes. In this case," Shang Wen thought. In this case, there will be a large amount of banknotes pouring towards Zhao Guo. And Xianyang's banknotes will rapidly decrease. The supply of money will be much reduced.

"In this case, it will lead to a situation." Shang Wen said.

“The money supply in Xianyang is beginning to be tight or difficult. There are a lot of banknotes in the Zhao State market. At the same time, Zhao State has a great demand for gold. In this case, the rise of gold will become larger and larger. Because of the price of gold. The price has risen. The current ratio." Shang Wen looked at the newspaper.

"Oh my God. It has risen to a ratio of two hundred to one." Shang Wen said.

"And as the investment continues, there will be more and more lack of funds. This requires more paper money." Shang Wen said.

"What to do?" Shang Wen asked.

"I don't know." Mo Li said while looking at Shang Wen.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"If I were a bank, once the spring started, a large amount of capital would be needed, because when construction starts, the capital loans will be larger. If the bank can't come up with such capital, their capital chain will be broken, even the bank If you can't afford to pay, it is a very bad opinion matter." Shangwen said.

"In order to solve the funding situation, the only way for banks is to disperse the gold reserves in their hands. Only in this way can they fundamentally solve their problems." Shang Wen said.

"It seems that we have to disperse the gold reserves in our hands. To solve the problem of Zhao Guo's soaring gold, it is time to solve it." Shang Wen said.

"Hey." At this moment, Meng Yi walked into Shangwen's office.

"I went to ask. It turned out that they were also investigating. I wanted to check other things, but I didn't expect it. I couldn't find out anything." Meng Yi came in and reported the matter to Shang Wen.

"Haha. People have already analyzed it." Mo Li said to Meng Yi.

"Analysis?" Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen.

"En." Shang Wen nodded.

"I'll tell you something. Listen, what's wrong. Tell me about it." Shangwen said. Speaking of Shangwen, he told Meng Yi of his own analysis. After Meng Yi heard it, he felt that it made sense, and judging from the current situation. The bank is indeed in such a situation.

"If this is the case, it can explain why Wenyang Bank did not give us the list of goods they shipped." Meng Yi reversed it at this time.

"Because they only need to tell us the list of goods, and they can understand why they have to ship so much gold at once. At this time, our government will lag behind them. Wenyang Bank will take all the initiative. "Meng Yi said.

"Right." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"However, we are the government, not the bank. We need a lot of capital for basic investment. And the bank is financing, we also have to quietly ship, and deliver a large amount of gold to Zhao Guo for investment. In this way, Zhao Guo can be solved. There’s a problem with my banknotes." Shang Wen said.

"En. It can indeed be done." Meng Yi said.

"It's just that the king has to report it. After all, if the king doesn't know about such a thing, we can't do anything." Meng Yi said to Shangwen.

"En." Shang Wen thought for a while.

"Enter the palace. Report this incident. But before, we have to act quickly. This time, we have to act behind the bank. Jedi cannot walk in front of the bank, because if the bank does not let go, it will not have the original effect. Now," Shang Wen said.

"En." Meng Yi nodded. Speaking, the two people began to sort out, and quickly entered the palace to explain that this matter was gone.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

"It turns out that this is the case." After Shang Wen explained. King Qin suddenly woke up.

"Unexpectedly. The widow feels that this finance is just like Qin's war. Where hundreds of thousands of Qin troops may not be able to fight, finance can go around and solve the problem." Qin Wang said. Hearing this, Shang Wen and Meng Yi looked at each other. He didn't know whether he was acting himself or lamenting finance.

"The widow's royal bank also has some gold, and I took it out and made a fortune in Zhao Guo. That's it for widows." King Qin said to Shang Wen with a smile.

"Exactly." Meng Yi replied.

"Wang, if this is the case, then it will be fast. It is estimated that the major banks will also find the problems at this time." Shang Wen said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Come here." King Qin began to give orders as he said. In this way, Qin's Royal Bank also participated.

At this time, Zhao Guo's search team finally reached where they were going.

"Oh my God. The trains are all like this. And it's still in our Zhao country." A sergeant chief looked at the mess and said.

"Yeah. With so many people dead, things really made a lot of trouble." said a second lieutenant officer.

"Sir, what should I do?" a second-class soldier asked.

"What to do? What else to do?" the second lieutenant officer said.

"On the report, come with me a few people." The ensign officer waved his arm.

"Let's go down and see if there is any alive, at least to figure out the matter." The second lieutenant officer said.

"Sir. Look over there?" A corporal pointed his finger at the section of railway ahead.

"Oh my God," the ensign said after seeing it.

"This is a real attack. Even explosives were used. It seems. Things are not simple." The corporal said.

"Let's go, let's all go down and have a look. Things are still to be done," the ensign said.

"It's just, sir, if Qin really pursues this matter, what should we do?" The corporal asked worriedly at this time.

"We are soldiers. According to Qin people, that is, artillery fire." The ensign said.

"Let's go." The second lieutenant waved his arm and told his people to go down to check the specific situation.

The following situation is far beyond the understanding of Zhao Jun soldiers, because in their view, this is simply a deliberate attack, and such an attack is rare. However, there is now, but the occurrence of such a thing makes them no longer know how to deal with it. All they can do is report the situation here.
