Chapter 116 Life is not just about training and fighting (Subscription required)

Pirates...

Pirates are rich!

So?

You go ask the pirates for money? Will they give it to you?
Oh, don't say that.

They can really give!
As long as this guy gets the imperial commission, he will be the governor of Japan, and he will have no shortage of money in the future. In this case, as long as he is promised benefits, he will of course be willing to pay for himself...

and many more!

Is this okay?

If! If this plan was directly applied to the north to fight against the monsters, why would the north still lack military pay? !

"boom!!"

Zhang Gelao slapped the stone table with his palm, and the whole person seemed to be enlightened in an instant: "This method can also be used to raise military funds for the war in the north!"

After he finished speaking, he stared at Lu Jing with burning eyes: "So, you actually want to enlighten me through this incident?"

But before Lu Jing could say anything, Zhang Ge Lao's clever brain had already thought of the key problem: "No, no, the northern monsters are unruly and unruly. Taming them as slaves is harder than training an eagle. Moreover, the vast land in the north is difficult to cultivate because of the soil and climate."

We can only graze cattle and sheep.

But Lu Jing shook his head and said, "There is the Changbai Mountains in the north, and there are very rich mineral resources. Coal mines, copper mines, zinc mines, etc. These are all wealth."

Zhang Ge Lao was a little confused: "But these are not money...it even needs more money to mine. This is a losing business."

Lu Jing asked back: "Then what do you think money is?"

Zhang Ge Lao thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Money is the conversion of the value of everything."

This statement is correct.

The essence of currency counterparts is physical assets. It is a measure of the value of things, a means of circulation of goods, and an important component of interaction between people.

But he could have another explanation.

Lu Jing picked up a stone from the ground and said, "But money can also be this stone. As long as the court recognizes it, it is money and has value."

This is easy to understand. There are money shops in Dayu, and silver bills can be exchanged for silver in the money shops.

But that's obviously not what Lu Jing meant.

Lu Jing continued, "I know that Dayu has a bank. If so, why doesn't the Ministry of Revenue of the Dayu court have its own bank? Why do ordinary people have to rely on wealthy families to exchange silver?"

"hiss--"

The merchants from Shanxi are the ones who have the largest money lending business in Dayu today.

Are they trying to steal jobs from Shanxi merchants?
Just by thinking about it, Lord Zhang knew that this would definitely be a massive, life-and-death war.

Lu Jing waved his hand and said, "Take it slow. The Ministry of Revenue can first issue Northern Expedition coupons, with 10 going in and 12 returning. In the process of winning the war, the Ministry of Revenue can gradually establish its own bank, and then extend it to the people."

"As for how to make a fortune with the mineral resources in the north, that depends on the ability of the imperial court."

"I have always felt that it is a bad thing for the Dayu family to annex land. Farmland is the foundation of the people, but letting the family occupy so much of it is putting the cart before the horse. If everyone in the world has land to farm, why worry about unrest?"

This was also the problem that Zhang Ge Lao had always wanted to solve. When he heard Lu Jing say this, he immediately realized that Lu Jing had a way to solve this kind of thing. He immediately grabbed Lu Jing's hand and asked, "Do you have a solution? Teach me now!"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "It's very simple. Isn't it enough to make the land worthless? Or, isn't it enough to come up with a product that is simpler, cheaper, and more profitable than land?"

"This……"

Is there anything easier and cheaper than making money from land?

Zhang Ge Lao has talent for managing the world, but he is not an inventor or a scientist.

Lu Jing pointed out: "If there is anything that can make people's lives more convenient and that people can afford, then that's where the money is. As long as we dig one out, the Great Yu court will receive a lot of money every year."

"As for how to dig these things out, that depends on what the imperial court does."

Although Lu Jing didn't explain it clearly, Lord Zhang already understood it in his heart.

Looking at Lu Jing again now, it seemed as if Zhang Ge Lao really recognized this young man for the first time. He did not expect that this young man was not only extremely talented in cultivation, but also had such ideas about governing the country!

Zhang Ge Lao immediately grabbed Lu Jing and said, "You are a man of great talent and ambition. Why do you have to go to Japan and suffer injustice? Stay by my side and govern the country with me! And it will be safer, right?"

Lu Jing declined Zhang Ge Lao's invitation: "Why should we care about whether we are in the central government or not when serving the country? Although I am in Japan, I can still serve the country. You just wait and see. Besides, we can also communicate in time through official seals."

But Lord Zhang shook his head.

Official seals are not acceptable.

The messages exchanged can be seen by many people, which is not a good way to get things done.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Yes, you see, even those of us with official seals find it inconvenient to communicate in daily life, let alone the common people below? Isn't this also a business opportunity?"

The speed of information interaction determines the speed of efficiency.

Lord Zhang should have a better understanding of this.

After being awakened by Lu Jing's words, Zhang Ge Lao suddenly had a burst of inspiration, like a spring! Then he became more and more reluctant to let Lu Jing exile himself to Japan.

So Lord Zhang began to refuse to listen to advice, but Lu Jing just wouldn't listen.

Anyway, he is going to Japan!
He went to Japan not just to conquer Japan. As Lord Zhang said before, many daimyos in Japan have barbarian blood, so Japan is an excellent place for Lu Jing to copy!

So he wants to go to Japan and kill a lot of people!

Wait till he comes back!

That is when he achieves celestial phenomena!
Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Zhang Ge Lao had to give up and reminded: "According to the intelligence from Du Yutai, the mountain king who caused chaos in Yuhang escaped from your hands and also went to Japan. You have to be careful."

Tiger in Japan?
Lu Jing was a little surprised.

But he didn't really care.

When he didn't have the supreme magical power, Lu Jing could rely on his domineering sword intent and the power of his body to kill his opponents.

Now he possesses supreme magical powers, the mountain king...

It's just dry bones in the grave.

As for the encirclement and attack from the Tianzhong, I believe that the imperial court and the Duyutai will find a way to take action.

Although Lord Zhang did not say it, they would definitely use Lu Jing as bait to eliminate the Tianzhong spies hiding in the dark one by one.

Throughout the ages, the real opponents of the Central Plains court have never been the monsters and barbarians entrenched outside Central Plains.

It's a pity that Yaoman doesn't understand this truth.

They felt that as long as they regained their position as the protagonists of heaven and earth, the monsters would be able to shoulder the responsibility of fighting against the aliens like humans.

But history has proven their ideas wrong many times.

After a long conversation with Lu Jing, Lord Zhang's thoughts were like a gusher. He could no longer sit still. He wished he could return to the capital right away to put the ideas in his mind into writing and then implement them one by one.

So Lord Zhang quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. I'll come and see you again when I'm ready."

After saying this, Lord Zhang soared into the sky with the protection of the astronomical master behind him!

After Lord Zhang left, Song Yuheng, Hu Butang and others came into the courtyard.

Hu Butang asked, "Why did you talk for so long?"

Lu Jing laughed and said, "It's true that we talked for a long time, but it was a good chat."

Song Yuheng asked anxiously: "Then, where are you going next?"

Lu Jing waved his hand and said boldly: "Next, let's go drink and eat meat! Hu Butang, shall we join?"

Song Yuheng was stunned: "Ah?"

She said in surprise: "I thought you, a barbarian, only knew how to chop, chop, chop."

Lu Jing laughed and said, "No, life is not just about training and fighting, there are also good wine and food, and friends and family."
