Since Sun Qing ran away, Huaxia City has had a peaceful time. Qingcang wants to change this era, but it cannot be completed in one or two days.

On this day, Wu You and Guo Jia were reporting on the results of reform of monetary policy. Looking at the expressions of several people, they seemed to be making very smooth progress.

Wu You held a white notebook in his hand. This was a notebook that Qing Cang gave him. Basically, every civil servant would have one. These notebooks were made by him using a paper machine and asked the craftsmen to use hemp ropes. At this time, there was no longer any animal swimming on his cuffs. In his words, he had no time to keep pets.

He said respectfully, "After this period of reform, the public's recognition of Huayuan has been unprecedentedly recognized. Some surrounding cities have also rushed to exchange Huayuan, and sent caravans to purchase a large amount of grain from Huaxia City, and the entire market has become stable. At the same time, Huayuan has become rare in the peripheral market, and many speculators have begun to compete for coins. There are even scalpers reselling Huayuan."

Judging from Wu You's words, the first point is that these cities are in short supply. According to market laws, oversupply will cause prices to rise sharply. Of course, the benefit-bearing parties are still the people, because they currently do not collect transaction taxes.

Long before, Qing Cang instructed Wu You to intervene in price. Even if shipments are restricted, the price must be stabilized and let it rise, which is very painful.

The second point is the problem of scalpers. There were scalpers in ancient times. These people were lazy and didn’t think about taking advantage of them. They used their intelligence and intelligence on this evil path.

The former is easy to solve, and directly use power to intervene, while the latter needs to use force or find the reason from yourself.

Qing Cang said: "The emergence of a large number of speculators proves that there is something wrong with us. When you go back, think about what methods can avoid this situation. It is impossible to eliminate it, but it can make them fewer. It depends on whether to do more publicity, open more windows, extend working hours, etc. Don't let those caravans go in vain, and at the same time, let gold flow into our pockets."

Wu You focused on everything Qing Cang said.

"I have a way to solve the sudden increase in scalpers. It is to catch it! If there is a scalper who resells it, the income will be confiscated. The man asked him to dig a gold mine for a year. Just so happened that we opened several more gold mines, and there was a shortage of workers, so it would be better for them to go. The woman was sent to the mine to start a fight. I don't believe that they dare to commit the crime again."

Qing Cang's solutions all have his own reasons. Of course, he just provides a way of thinking. Whether there are other solutions depends on personal understanding.

Wu You nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I understand. I will think about the way I do it again."

As soon as Wu You finished speaking, Wu Chaojing immediately jogged in.

"Commander! A Qianghu envoy asked for a visit."

These envoys' visits were received by the internal affairs department, so they should also report them. Wu Chao reported them himself, which shows that this matter is quite good.

Qiang and Hu refer to the Qiang and Xiongnu tribes in ancient my country. They were a nomadic group and an unstable existence among the ethnic minorities in the northwest.

Qing Cang glanced at Guo Jia and tried to seek some information from him.

Guo Jia said: "For a hundred years, Qiang and Hu have been powerful and have won many battles. Although they have won, there has been a dispute after a while. In recent times, only Han has shown goodwill to Qiang and Hu and intermarried with them. We do not belong to Han, so they actually sent envoys to them. There must be a reason for this."

Guo Jiaming meant that Qiang and Hu were in good terms and relationships between Han and Han, and that was a partnership between them on the same front, but this relationship was not stable. They ignored or thought the Han Dynasty did not know about it and took the initiative to send envoys. The reason for this is intriguing.

This directly aroused Qing Cang's interest.

"Oh? Then why can you meet this so-called messenger?"

If that's the case, it's okay to meet. What if he brings great business opportunities?

"I'll invite him in now."

Wu Chaojing retreated and after a while he brought a man, dressed differently from them. This man looked a bit exotic and looked like a person from the Central Plains. Now in ancient times, he was a mixed-race person.

The man bowed and said, "Mr. City Lord, I am the messenger sent by Qiang Qu Shanyu. I have something to discuss with you."

He speaks fluent Chinese, so it is not difficult to communicate.

According to historical records, in 179, Zhang Xiu, the general of the Huns, killed Huzheng and established Qiang Qu as the Shanyu. This year was 184, which happened to be the fifth year of Qiang Qu's tenure.

"Oh? Let's talk about what's going on."

"I heard that Qiangqu Shanyu had a place called Huaxia City to the south, which had rich resources and high economy, and did not belong to the Han Dynasty. So I specially sent me to ask for business with Guicheng."

The Qianghu River is full of cattle and sheep. Their animal husbandry industry is very good, but the agriculture and handicraft industry are not as good as the south.

"How do you want to trade? Let's hear it."

Qing Cang is interested,

"Master Lord, you know that Qiang Lake is vast and sparsely populated, and we don't know what mining and coins are, so Qiangqu Chanyu proposed to trade in the form of barter."

The messenger spoke very well, and he did not have a arrogant attitude at all. He added points to his trip for this.

"What do you need?"

The messenger said: "We need silk, porcelain, grain, tea, medicinal materials, jewelry. What we can provide are fur goods, cattle, sheep, horses, etc."

"Okay! I promise your Son's request, but I have a request that all your transactions can only be conducted with my people. If we let you trade with other people in the city, our trade will be terminated immediately. Of course, we will not swear you, we just want the entire transaction to proceed smoothly."

Everyone didn't know what medicine was sold in Qing Cang's gourd, but after he said this, it seemed that his reason was that it was not too late to ask again as soon as the messenger left.

The messenger thought for a while. "Okay, I can still make the decision on this point. But when will the commerce start?"

“Start from today.”

"The city lord is indeed very straightforward. I wish our business a smooth."

"Hahaha, come here, treat the envoys from Qiang and Hu well, and do not make any mistakes."

"Thank you, Lord,"

As the messenger left, the three people present finally couldn't help it.

Wu Chaojing asked, "Commander, why don't you put them in the market and let them trade with us?"

The same is true for Guo Jia. "I can't figure it out, either. In this way, our personal hands will be divided into part of our hands and traded with them."

They did not have any doubts about trading, but they had objections to the transaction object.

"You don't understand this. Our trading center was losing money in the past few years. Although we controlled paper money, the increase in the amount of paper money will inevitably lead to a lower value. In that case, it is not a good thing for people. Usually, a copper coin can be exchanged for one Huayuan, because it may be exchanged for two Huayuan after depreciation. So are you willing to exchange copper coins for Huayuan?"

These principles are puzzling. Guo Jia can be the first in the plan, but in this theory, Qing Cang can really not say.

He asked, "How do we make this money?"

"With barter, is the value of this thing determined by us? Why do I ask them to trade with us only? The purpose is that we can control the price within the profitable range. We will sell their things to nearby cities and make another price difference from it."

The three of them were still in a blind state. In order to make it easier for them to understand, Qing Cang had to make an example.

"For example, if a sheep exchanges for five hundred kilograms of grain is equal to one thousand Huayuan, this is the market price. We give them 450 kilograms, and the 50 kilograms of grain is worth one hundred Huayuan. This is the profit we make from them. Similarly, because there are many nearby cities and we can trade with us, and there are more buyers, at that time, a sheep can be sold for one thousand, one hundred Huayuan. We earn another one hundred Huayuan from these people. A thing, sold twice, and two hundred Huayuan will be obtained."

His metaphor is very easy to understand, but it does not mean that a sheep is really worth a thousand Huayuan.

Everyone suddenly realized that Wu You, as the chief of finance, felt that his understanding was not enough. Although Qing Cang had taught him some knowledge about modern mathematics during this period, he was just on the surface. "Oh, so that's it. I really have a lot to learn. I'll ask the Commander to Professor Duojia in the future."

Speaking of teaching, Qing Cang suddenly remembered that there were a wide variety of books in the recently unlocked column of products called Knowledge Base, including all-inclusive items, including economy, military, medicine, agricultural science, etc.

Each of them requires ten days of health. The so-called knowledge is life, and words are not bad. In modern times, a set of 1000 books is only a few thousand yuan. It actually costs ten days of health. But for the sake of economic development, he gritted his teeth and directly clicked on the books in the economic column. He chose the traditional version. In this era, he couldn't understand simplified Chinese characters. In order not to bother, he solved it at one time.

He had an idea that when his future health was too much, he must clear the knowledge base and move all these books to this era so that everyone can absorb the knowledge from two thousand years later.

While chatting, everyone suddenly fell a lot of books from the ceiling, and there were at least one hundred books. The range of the fall this time was very wide. Qing Cang was fine, but the other three people were dizzy when they were smashed.

Everyone looked at the ceiling, and there was nothing on it. Where did these books come from? Guo and Wu Chao Jingjia seemed to have become accustomed to landing in this way, but they just said nothing.

Wu You picked up a book on the ground and read it as if he was reading it. "What kind of book is this? xx economics?"

Similarly, all the books on earth have knowledge about economics.

Wu You asked, "Commander, is this?"

"You can read these books when you have time, especially Wu You. If you have time, I hope you can read them completely, which will be of great help to your financial management."

"yes!"

"Okay, let Wu You handle the trade between Qiang and Hu. I hope Wu You can do this well."

Wu You said confidently. "Commander, please rest assured! With these books, I can definitely do it!"
