I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Che felt that something was wrong, he was obviously here to educate his son, why did he talk as if it was his fault?

In fact, Liu Tan felt that it was his fault. If he hadn't been through such a toss, how could so many things have happened?

Liu Che couldn't keep his face straight, so he could only say: "You...don't do such dangerous things in the future, be careful not to change your mind."

He didn't think Liu Tan had a problem dealing with Liu Quyao, he just worried that Liu Tan would find it convenient to take a shortcut after using this method.

He didn't care about the means of cruel officials, nor did he care about the means of some courtiers, but he was worried that his son would become narrow-minded because of it.

Liu Tan said decisively: "The northern border country is still in the hands of my ministers."

If he is in the northern border country, where does he need to work so hard?When he sees who doesn't like it, he speaks directly, and naturally someone will help him.

Of course, most of the people he dislikes generally have no skills, and he will not make things difficult for people who are really capable.

Look at Sang Qian. When he first arrived in the northern border country, he was ignorant of current affairs and insisted on looking for work. Of course, Liu Tan wanted to deal with him. Talk about promoting him.

Liu Che shook his head helplessly. There are always countless reasons for his son.

He simply didn't get entangled in this matter, and directly changed the subject and asked: "What about the fleet you mentioned just now?"

Liu Tan got excited when he mentioned this, and he said directly: "Father also saw it this time, our ship does not travel a short distance when the weather is good, even if the weather is not good, as long as there is no storm Question, so Erchen thinks that shipping should be paid more attention to. From the port in Qi County, or even the port in Yangzhou and other places to the south, and then go around to Jiaozhi country and then go to other countries, we can transport the goods of our big man there, and at the same time To be able to buy products from those places, I remember that some of the tributes from the Jiaozhi country were not bad, many of them were not produced in the Jiaozhi country, and they were traded with other countries."

Liu Che looked thoughtful after hearing this: "It's just that we don't know which countries are there, so we can send someone to find out."

Liu Tan said decisively: "What are you looking for? Just ask King Jiaozhi directly, or let the eldest prince speak out. I believe that they are willing to speak up, and they may even name some countries that have enmity with them, and then wait until the time comes. After those countries, try to find a way to inquire about the surrounding countries, and the map of Dahan may be more comprehensive by then."

Although those countries are far away from the big man, it is precisely in this way that the two sides can conduct transactions more peacefully, because the fact that the land does not border each other means that there is no conflict of interest between them, and there is no dispute over land.

Liu Che was also quite moved after hearing this: "This is a way."

Liu Tan even said: "In the beginning, we must use the method of barter to trade with those countries. It would be great if we can use five baht coins there in the later stage."

Liu Che was a little surprised and asked: "Use five baht? Why use five baht?"

Bartering is the fairest way, but it is not easy to price it with five baht. Liu Che doesn't understand why Liu Tan did this.

Liu Tan said seriously: "This involves some money issues."

In fact, it involves some knowledge of economics, but at this time the word economics probably does not exist, so Liu Tan simply changed the term.

He continued: "The simplest reason for using five baht is that if there is another year of wars that drain the treasury, we can completely transfer the risk to other countries."

Liu Che looked a little serious after hearing this: "Go on."

Liu Che has seldom mobilized troops these years. It's not that he doesn't want to mobilize troops, but he can't. The treasury can't support him. He hasn't really reached the point where he doesn't care about the life of a big man for his own personal achievements.

What's more, if it really leads to the subjugation of the country, then those things will not be regarded as achievements, but his failures.

But this does not mean that Liu Che is really willing to tolerate the Xiongnu or other foreign races all the time. His patience has a limit, and when his patience is exhausted, it is time for the big man to mobilize again.

Liu Tan organized the language and said: "To put it simply, the Great Khan cannot mint coins without limit. If there are too many five baht coins minted, it will only cause its depreciation, and even cause the collapse of the currency system. What people think of is how to collect money from the people, instead of letting the father and emperor mint coins at will, so if we use five baht in transactions with other countries, this problem will no longer be a problem. We can mint more coins, and then use five baht. Baht money buys goods from those countries and brings them to the country for trading, allowing private money to flow into the treasury, which can somewhat maintain the stability of Dahan's transactions."

Liu Che is not very good at this, but he still listened intently: "But what if those countries collapse first?"

Liu Tan spreads his hands: "Their collapse can only be that we lost a trading partner, but what does it have to do with us? This will not affect us, and we can even borrow from other countries."

"What?" Liu Che frowned: "The big man is the kingdom of heaven, why would he need to borrow money from those countries?"

Liu Tan spread his hands: "As long as it is profitable, why bother? What's more, if it's a debt, should we have the final say?"

Chen Ajiao had been listening to it just now, but now the more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help asking: "If you don't pay it back, where's the credit?"

The big man still regards the word credibility as very important. Even if it is a verbal agreement, he will not easily break the contract. If the contract is broken, the common people may have no problem, but it will become difficult for the upper class - no one wants to be with such a person. There are interests.

However, dignitaries and aristocrats generally have some economic and interest entanglements with each other unless they are feuds. If there is really no contact, the family will only lose a little bit.

Therefore, the failure to repay the loan generally does not happen.

Liu Tan explained: "It's not that the money is not repaid at all, but it is manipulated by manipulating the exchange amount between the two currencies. For example, the big man borrowed three taels of gold from Jiaozhi..."

Chen Ajiao looked surprised: "Are they just taking advantage of three taels of gold?"

Liu Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm just making a metaphor."

If the number of metaphors is too large, it will not be easy to calculate. Even Liu Tan has to break his fingers, and even use abacus calculations to understand. Anyway, he only needs to describe the matter clearly, and it doesn’t matter how much money he borrows. .

Liu Che patted Chen Ajiao's hand and said, "Don't make trouble, let Taner finish."

Liu Tan continued: "For example, we borrowed three taels of gold, but we agreed to repay it with five baht at the exchange rate for gold in the Jiaozhi Kingdom. We have to repay about 30 Bei coins, which means that five baht coins can be exchanged for Bei coins. It’s about ten for one, so if we can control the exchange of five baht for shellfish, it’s twenty for one, or even fifty for one. Coins, but if you do something like this, you only need to pay back [-] baht."

Liu Che was confused, but he understood the two figures Liu Tan said. One was [-] and the other was [-]. There was indeed a lot of price difference.

In fact, what Liu Tan said is relatively simple. It is definitely not that simple to manipulate in the middle, but as long as the status of the Dahan currency in the world can be established, then the Dahan's economy will never collapse, unless another country emerges one day to end the hegemony of the Dahan status.

What Liu Tan has to do is to turn the big man's five baht coins into the existence of US dollars in later generations.

As an international currency, the U.S. dollar has innumerable benefits to the United States. Liu Tan has never studied this knowledge, and is basically in a state of half-knowledge.

But he knew that it was good, so he tried his best to encourage Liu Che to open up business and exert a little bit of influence from the big man.

It is too easy for big men to influence other countries. As long as they are not bordering countries, they can support each other's armaments.

Liu Che recalled Liu Tan's words again and suddenly smiled, "You and Sang Hongyang must be able to talk together."

Liu Tan immediately said: "My son is just whimsical, but Da Sinong is the real capable person."

Liu Che got up and said, "You don't have to be humble, you can find a time later and discuss with Sang Hongyang what to do."

Liu Tan calculated the time and found that the autumn harvest in the northern border country was still early, so he agreed very simply.

Liu Che left in satisfaction, and Chen Ajiao's expression darkened immediately after he left.

Liu Tan turned around and saw that his mother seemed very angry and couldn't help asking: "Mother, who made you unhappy?"

"He didn't even notice." Chen Ajiao's tone sounded very unbelievable.

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment: "What didn't you find?"

Chen Ajiao clapped the case: "He didn't even notice that I wasn't wearing makeup!"

Liu Tan: ...

He really never expected that Chen Ajiao was angry about this.

He didn't know what to say, so he simply used the excuse of going back to write a report and slipped away.

Chen Ajiao did not suspect him, but told him to write seriously.

In fact, Liu Tan has nothing to write about. He only knows that it is beneficial to turn Dahan's currency into an international currency. The brain of the sheep must be able to react quickly.

In order to see Sang Hongyang, Liu Tan ran back to his palace and posted a post to Sang Hongyang, inviting him to visit the palace for a talk.

Sang Hongyang came very quickly, almost as soon as the post was sent in the afternoon of the first day, he came in the next day.

Liu Tan didn't have much contact with Sang Hongyang. He was still thinking about how to greet Sang Hongyang when he met Sang Hongyang, but after meeting Sang Hongyang, he forgot all the words he had thought up before. He couldn't help asking in surprise : "Why is Da Sinong so haggard? But what happened to Chaoshang?"

Sang Hongyang looked at Liu Tan, remained silent for a while, then suddenly bowed to him and touched the ground.
