"What do King Ji think?" Seeing Liu Bei pondering and silent, His Majesty asked with a smile.

"I think this money is very exquisite, but the weight is slightly insufficient." Liu Bei decided to tell the truth.

His Majesty smiled and said, "If you cast a full five zhu, how can you make a profit?"

"When I was in the Western Regions, I also saw a kind of coin minted by Khotan, which could be replaced with Wuzhu coins and other coins..."

Liu Bei's experience of unifying currency in the Western Regions will tell you in a leisurely manner.

Your Majesty’s idea is good. However, the premise of cutting corners is that the currency value is equal.

If the value of the Sizhu coins is equivalent to that of the Wuzhu coins. With the same raw materials, one-fifth of the coins can be cast.

However, since the Han Dynasty, the people have suffered from the chaos of money.

In addition, many private castings and private money conversions have flooded the market. The people have spontaneously formed a very mature exchange mechanism.

Take the Wuzhu coins that are heavy as a reference.

If a private money is made by cutting and chiseling of Wuzhu coins, it is equivalent to the value of the currency according to its weight. For example, the Sanzhu coins made by cutting and chiseling of Wuzhu coins have a purchasing power of only three-fifths of the Wuzhu coins. If it is a Erzhu coins, its value will be only two-fifths. And so on.

If the raw materials are adulterated from the beginning, they are not cast with enough copper. These inferior coins can be seen with just one eye, and many merchants will even refuse to accept them.

In a nutshell, the people are not stupid.

Let your money be used to wash the floor, can you cut our wool?

When Liu Bei told the reason, His Majesty nodded slightly. Then he waved his hand to let Bi Lan retreat.

"Not to mention this coin for the time being, there is another more important thing."

"Dare you ask what your Majesty is?" Is there anything more important than making money?

"King Ji, sit down." His Majesty kept him in hiding.

Soon, a vaguely familiar official stepped inside and knelt down on the ground: "I am so proud of your Majesty, I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty. I'll pay homage to King Ji."

"It's you!" Liu Bei remembered that when he was young, he was regained his ancestor's title. It was this person who went to Lou Sang to announce the imperial edict.

"I haven't seen you for many years, is the old man safe?"

Seeing Liu Bei's sincere words, Feng Xu was also quite moved: "Thank you, the king, is worried. I am still strong and can still serve Your Majesty and the king for a few years."

"Please give your majesty a seat." Liu Bei saluted.

His Majesty was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Give it a seat."

"I will never be able to do it!" Feng Xu was flattered and waved his hands repeatedly: "The two masters are not in front of you, how can you be the old slave?"

"King Ji is a person with long-lasting affection. I am grateful for your grace when I was young. I can't bear to grow old. I still kneel down on the ground with my dry bones, and I promise you to sit down and answer." Your Majesty is indeed smart.

"Old slave, thank you." Huangmen ordered Zuo Feng to take the cushion himself, Feng Zi wiped his tears and sat down.

"Come on, let's take what you have done to King Ji. There is no need to hide it, but it's okay to say it." His Majesty smiled.

"Old miss the order." Feng Xie coughed lightly and told the story.

After listening patiently, even though Liu Bei was prepared, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Feng Zi is an insider of Taiping Road, which is also shocking enough.

The seal was used as an inscription within the Taiping Road, and it was his Majesty’s instruction!

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Feng Zi smiled proudly: "At that time, there were wealthy businessmen in Youzhou who traveled to and from the capital. They spent a lot of money and made good officials. What they wanted was just ordinary wealth. What was the difficulty? The old slave and the officials did not take it seriously.

However, when I got to know each other more, the old slave found that what this wealthy businessman wanted was great. It was not ordinary wealth, but his majesty's country."

"This person is Ma Yuanyi." Liu Bei asked.

"Just business." Feng Xu replied: "How can the old slave be satisfied with such ambition? However, they have been together for a long time and are unable to get out of their worries. The old slave couldn't sleep at night and was frightened all day long. He wanted to die, but his Majesty found out. He ordered someone to rescue the old slave. He asked in detail the reason.

The old slave simply told him. He thought his life was not guaranteed, but His Majesty pardoned the old slave's greed. He also asked the old slave and Ma Yuanyixu to pretend to join the gang, serving as a response to Taiping Road.

In fact, he was a counter-sprayer plan to serve as an eye and ear for Your Majesty. Since then, Your Majesty has clearly understood every move of Taipingdao in Luoyang."

"So that's it." The vivid history is indeed much more complicated than history books.

Liu Bei thought again and suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Since Your Majesty had known about Taiping Dao's rebellion, why did he keep silent and let him become a big shot?"

"Taipingdao is dependent on the destiny of heaven, and it is one of them who believe in choosing a day. The leader, the great wise and good men, has been wandering around and cannot be arrested. The second is the third, Taipingdao may be used by me."

Liu Bei was stunned again: "Taipingdao pretended to be a god and tricked the people, bewitching the people. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and wanted to take the chestnut from the fire. All such cults should be eliminated to eliminate future troubles. What is the use of keeping them?"

Your Majesty answered the question: "Can King Ji know that who owns the world today?"

Liu Bei's whole body was shocked. He had already figured out everything in a flash.

I couldn't help but feel chills all over: "May I be your Majesty..."

"The world is ten. The aristocratic family is seven points, and the royal family is three points. The land of Guandong is richest, but it is no longer owned by my family. The Taiping Road covers eight of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and most of them are in Guandong. If the Taiping army is together, King Ji thought, what will happen to the land of Guandong? I only need to send a general to defend Hulao and another general to defend Tongguan to protect our Guanzhong land and the capital. When the powerful Guandong, the manor and the fortress are destroyed by war, all the slaves and private soldiers are exhausted. The fertile land becomes a wasteland, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles. No one has food, no wealth and no power. At that time, Guandong was covered with white land. I will ask for it. No one can stop it, and no one can restrain it.

King Ji can tell how much the official position can be used as a price?"

"...I really don't know!" Liu Bei was sweating like rain.

Your Majesty wants to use the Taiping Way to clean the floor!

Your Majesty's eyes were like torches and loudly: "Everyone said that I am rich in all the worlds. However, in my opinion, the wealthy in all the worlds were all occupied by the powerful families. All that was left to me was an empty palace and a court filled with dog officials. King Ji could tell that the civil and military officials in the court were truly loyal to our Tian family. How many of them were lackeys raised by the powerful families? If they did not kill all the owners of these evil dogs, how could I be rich in all the worlds!"

"..." Liu Bei opened his mouth but said nothing.

His Majesty killed people with a knife, and he was really good at planning. However, the wars continued and the wars continued. Thousands of people were slaughtered and were slaughtered, and life was worse than death.

Shouldn’t Your Majesty take into account the lives and deaths of the people?

Watching Your Majesty waving and talking freely. Liu Bei was like falling into an ice cave, his whole body was cold. As Your Majesty said, you just need to catch all the Taiping Road lurking in Luoyang in one net. Then send good generals to defend the majestic pass. The land of Guanzhong can be safe.

When the time is right, send another good general to clean up the chaos in Kanto. Whether it is killed by the Taiping Rebellion Army or dismissed for crimes.

The vacant official position can make Your Majesty sell his official position for a lifetime and enjoy it endlessly.

What's more, there are thousands of miles of barren land and countless fertile land waiting to be slaughtered and sold.

Liu Bei, who figured out all this, was always in a daze. No more sorrow than death. On the way back, he was crying. He couldn't wipe it, and suddenly chanted softly:

The peaks are like gathering,

The waves are like anger,

Tongguan Road in the mountains and rivers.

Looking at Xidu,

Hesitated.

Sad place of the Qin and Han dynasties,

The palaces were made of earth.
