C212 The Vision of Development
He had an innocent look on his face, as if he was a punching bag.
His Majesty narrowed his eyes at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiao Yun continued, "And you saw it too, Your Majesty. As long as I do something serious, there will be people behind me who will make things difficult for me. These peasants will bear with it. But you... the peasants do not say that they are doing it for the sake of the country and the people. They have their own selfish motives. But the result is always good, and it also solves a big problem for you, Your Majesty. Now, he has to be suspected by His Majesty. The commoner really does not know what to do."
His Majesty coughed awkwardly and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Young people nowadays really can't be scolded. They can't bear the slightest grievance. You have created such a big disturbance, yet you still expect Zhen to stand on your side all the time? Nonsense! "
Xiao Yun curled his lips and said," Anyway, the commoner does not know whether he did the right thing or not. There are some things that are better left unattended. For the sake of a small fiefdom, the peasants have put in a lot of effort. Putting aside my reputation, I almost caused the entire Xiao family to be doomed. Why do you have to do this?"
" Hmph! "
His Majesty rolled his eyes at him.
He also felt some regret in his heart. He really shouldn't have scolded someone right from the start.
Speaking of which, Xiao Yun was a Saint Grade with the potential to be a saint. Doing business like this... It was not good for his reputation to begin with. Plus, he had easily exempt the Xiao family from being an official. As a matter of fact, other than the leader of the Xiao family... There were no officials in the court, so they could not be considered a powerful force.
However, as an emperor, how could he admit his mistake to a brat?
After a cold snort, the emperor suddenly said, "Since this Jingjin Prefecture is a disgrace to Saint Xiao's reputation, why don't you return it to me..."
"No!"
Xiao Yun immediately said, and said, "Your Majesty, we have written it clearly in black and white! The finishing touch of cinnabar, the Imperial Jade Seal as the basis, this kind of thing cannot be faked."
Your majesty wrinkled his brows. His good mood just now disappeared again. He said in a deep voice, "Zhen did not say that the Imperial Decree is not counted, but you can give it back to Zhen on your own accord."
Xiao Yun said with a bitter face, "I do not wish to return it. Furthermore... Your Majesty, this matter actually does not involve the word return. The gold was still His Majesty's, but it was stored in the hands of the commoner. This is agreed that they are still yours, Your Majesty. The peasants are just storing it. How can it be returned?"
" What about the gold and money? "
"The gold and the money belong to the commoner! There's no need to return it. It belongs to the commoner himself. It has nothing to do with His Majesty."
"What? "
His Majesty was stunned, unable to think straight for a moment.
Xiao Yun explained, "Your Majesty, look. These golden notes were made by the peasants. The commoner protected himself with his own life. How did the golden notes get out? They were exchanged for by the commoners and nobles with their own money and silver. It had nothing to do with the gold that His Majesty had placed in the commoner's hands. The gold bills were goods made by the commoner himself. They had taken the initiative to buy these goods from the peasants. As for what they were going to do with these goods... How to communicate and how to trade, these peasants did not care. As long as the peasants guaranteed that they could buy gold and silver, they could also exchange gold and silver for real money. That's all. This entire process, how can it be related to His Majesty's gold? "
His Majesty flew into a rage and roared, "That gold note has an Imperial Decree written on it!"
Xiao Yun shrugged and said helplessly," Your Majesty, although the Imperial Decree was written by Your Majesty, but it is for the peasants. That is already considered an object for the peasants. Could it be that there is a reason for you to return the thing bestowed by Your Majesty? Furthermore, that Imperial Decree did not represent anything. It was just that the peasants saw His Majesty draw a silver hook. The words were refined, so they felt that it was a work of art. Thus, it was written on the gold notes just to decorate it and to draw flowers and plants on it. The scenery, landscape, people sculpting, and so on are actually all the same. "
" You! "
His Majesty suddenly lifted his finger and pointed at Xiao Yun's nose. He was so angry that his hair was about to stand up, but after "you" for a long time, he did not say anything else.
It was unreasonable, but it did make sense.
Xiao Yun looked at His Majesty calmly.
He knew that he had won.
His Majesty never thought that the entire Great Qin Country would change when he wrote the Imperial Decree without any scruples.
He didn't even imagine what the Great Qin would become in the future.
He also did not know what the reformation of the currency would bring to this country.
He also didn't know what kind of shocking role Xiao Yun would play in this revolution!
To put it bluntly, in his previous life, Xiao Yun understood a problem.
A problem that was always discussed.
Many people would teach others, saying, "You have to look at problems with the perspective of development."
Almost everyone had heard this sentence, but the number of people who actually did it was even fewer than what Xiao Yun had imagined.
It was very, very little.
In his previous life, technology was so advanced, and people's common knowledge was so high. Xiao Yun was used to using this kind of vision to think about things, but it also made him seem out of place with the surrounding world.
And this world?
In the entire Great Qin Country, there were less than a tenth of people who could read. Those who could understand three thousand words, and those who could satisfy most of the reading life, were another tenth of those who could read.
As for those who could be called scholars, well-read sages, and widely used people, that was even a hundredth.
Just one sentence, "one in ten thousand," could already be described.
As the center of the entire Great Qin Country, whether it was political, cultural, art or other aspects, they were dozens or even hundreds of times better than the capital of other regions...
There were four million people in the capital.
There were only thirteen thousand students and above.
The remaining three million and ninety million people could be considered "illiterate" in Xiao Yun's previous life.
"Looking at problems with the perspective of development?"
How many people were there in this world?
Thus, all the civil and military officials, including His Majesty, did not know what kind of huge crisis existed in the reforms of the various currencies that they had created.
At the same time, they would also know how magical Xiao Yun's reforms were.
In fact, most of them were like figures in a joke.
One. After he got out of prison, he found a friend and told him that he had left behind a bunch of treasures, dug them out, and sold them. All these years, he had not spent his time in prison for nothing.
In the end, he dug out a few boxes of pager in the back of the mountain.
And at that time, more than ten years later, many people didn't even know what pager was!
Xiao Yun had seen many young people in his past life. They were in their twenties, and they said, "When I save one million, I will retire. I won't do anything. Just the interest alone is enough for me to live my whole life."
However, after a few years, the interest became very little. One million could not even afford a house in a big city.
If he waited until thirty years later, when he grew old, one million might not even last a year.
It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say.
Whenever he was uncertain about the future, Xiao Yun liked to look back at the past.
He shifted the time back to thirty years ago, and now, it was the future thirty years later.
Then, he naturally found out that a month's salary at that time was only enough to buy a bottle of drink and a cheap bread thirty years later.
At that time, the extremely rare "ten thousand yuan" and the existence that people envied, all of their savings could not compare to the monthly salary of a large portion of people after thirty years.
Every time this happened, Xiao Yun would naturally feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
No one knew what the future would be like.
The only thing he could do now was to be faster. A little faster. He didn't want to catch up with the times, but he definitely couldn't let most people overtake him and hang him at the end!
Preparing for a rainy day and looking at it for a hundred years.
Xiao Yun seemed to be standing opposite His Majesty at this moment. His pupils reflected His Majesty's figure as well, but in fact, his gaze had risen very high, and it was looking at the future above the entire Great Qin Country.
