Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

Wu Xi understood that as long as he could protect Xiao Yun, his family would have a guarantee!    

He waited quietly until he was a little hungry, then he asked someone to bring food and drink. Since no one came, he simply slept.    

When he woke up, there was still no one.    

He was stunned for a while and then muttered, "Could it be that what Young Master said is true? It doesn't matter even if this matter is known by others. Why is that so? "    

Wu Xi had such a question.    

Zhao Wuji also had the same question!    

Almost at the same time, all kinds of information were reported back, saying that this rumor had already been spread, but no one believed it!    

This made Zhao Wuji somewhat confused.    

Were these guys stupid?    

Or did they not believe in rumors?    

In normal days, if there were any rumors, the civilians would believe them, even if the rumors were unbelievable.    

This was what the people liked!    

He thought for a while and said, "How about this, we have evidence. Since the people don't believe it, let's take the evidence out."    

Master Xue naturally did as he was told. He asked people to tell them the amount of money the king saved and the amount of money Xiao Yun sold.    

In this way, the people had no reason to doubt him.    

But just as Zhao Wuji was about to see the civilians attack Xiao Yun in a group...    

The news he got was that the civilians did not believe him.    

This stunned Zhao Wuji.    

After thinking about it, he felt that the people who spoke were not strong enough. It was just that their status was not high enough and their credibility was not high enough. That was why the people did not believe him.    

Hence, he even personally went to the streets and wore his official uniform. The surrounding officials stood on their carts and raised their arms to shout.    

With that, there should not be anyone who would doubt him.    

And his actions were also known by the Emperor.    

His Majesty was so angry that he almost vomited blood.    

"Grand Preceptor, oh Grand Preceptor, you should have answered my questions. You should have dealt with all the good and bad things in the world. Why are you causing trouble for me now? Just because of a Xiao Yun? "    

His Majesty sighed loudly, causing the eunuch behind him to feel nervous and awkward. He did not dare to say a word.    

Zhao Wuji's means were too ruthless. Clearly, he wanted to kill Xiao Yun completely, so that he did not even have the chance to turn the situation around.    

His Majesty was helpless. He could only think of some ways to save Xiao Yun at the critical moment.    

Such a talent couldn't be allowed to die, right?    

After thinking about it, he still felt that the token given to Xiao Yun was very useful. As long as Xiao Yun had the token, it was equivalent to having the support of the imperial power. Even if the world was in chaos, there was still room for him to survive.    

However, after everything was prepared, His Majesty heard a piece of news that he couldn't imagine.    

Regarding the matter of Xiao Yun's gold notes, the civilians actually... still did not believe it!    

In any case, they did not believe it.    

No matter what he said, no matter who said it, even if the Grand Preceptor, who was an official, said it himself, he still wouldn't believe it!    

This seemed somewhat unreasonable.    

Of course, there was still a small portion of the people who believed it. They went straight to the depository of scriptures to exchange for money.    

But they exchanged it!    

The Gold Hidden Pavilion would exchange for as many gold coins as you could. It was not a big deal.    

What was even more exaggerated was that some merchants had already been waiting at the entrance of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. Anyone who wanted to exchange for gold coins did not need to go in. They could use a higher price to collect the money!    

This kind of thing finally made those civilians realize something.    

Those who exchanged for money were naturally filled with regret. Some of the bolder ones even cursed in the middle of it.    

This made Zhao Wuji even more furious.    

Similarly, he also did not understand what was going on.    

In his point of view, why did all the people in this world suddenly become stupid? Just let Xiao Yun deceive them?!    

But at this moment, he was really helpless.    

Initially, Zhao Wuji thought that he had the strongest trump card in his hand. As long as he revealed it, Xiao Yun would be doomed forever.    

However, after revealing it, there was no effect at all.    

For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of helplessness.    

"What's wrong with this Xiao Yun? What's wrong with the people in this world? "    

He roared in anger.    

Suddenly, he felt something sweet in his throat. With a 'wow' sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slumped onto the cart, and his face was as pale as a sheet of golden paper.    

He was dragged back to the residence. Several doctors worked hard for a while before they managed to save him. However, it also brought about a serious illness that caused him to be bedridden.    

When His Majesty heard this news, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.    

Regarding Zhao Wuji's actions of stealing a chicken and not eating a rice, he heard it very happily.    

But at the same time, His Majesty was also wondering why the evidence was conclusive and why the Grand Preceptor had gathered everyone to publicize it. Why did the civilians not believe it?    

After thinking for a while, he still came to the imperial prison again.    

Of course, when he saw Xiao Yun, he saw that Xiao Yun hurriedly put away all the artifacts beside him and then smiled foolishly at him.    

His Majesty was stunned for a moment and then thought of his previous actions when he came over.    

The first time he snatched people's grapes, the second time he snatched people's bedding...    

Speaking of which, it was indeed quite excessive.    

"Cough cough..."    

Embarrassed, he coughed twice. His Majesty first described Zhao Wuji's actions. Then he immediately asked, "How did you do it? Why did the civilians not suspect this gold coin? You clearly did these things! "    

Xiao Yun could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that His Majesty was not here to rob.    

Then he replied, "Your majesty, there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard, 'You will never wake up a person pretending to be asleep'."    

"I have never heard of it." His Majesty shook his head.    

Xiao Yun smiled and continued, "Just like this gold note, there are actually more gold notes than gold. Everyone knew about this, and there was no need for Imperial Tutor Zhao to expose it. There is no need for other rumors. Some of the merchants have already realized these things. But what could they do about it? The civilians did not want to know! And the gold bills can't be fake."    

" It can't be fake? Don't you want to know? What do you mean by that?"    

His Majesty frowned, unable to react for a moment.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is still the question of credibility, just like the few questions that the grasslanders mentioned before. In this current world, copper coins are no longer reliable. On the other hand, the gold coins have indeed increased day by day, and now there is nothing left. Compared to the gold coins in their hands, it makes the people feel more at ease. "    

He sighed and said, "If the gold bills are fake, then what do they use? The gold bills they exchanged before are now tightly held in their hands. They are unwilling to let go of treasures that they want to trade for even if they cut their heads open. Wouldn't that mean they were worthless? If the gold bills were fake, then everyone would be at a disadvantage! On the contrary, as long as it was real, then anyone who had contact with the gold bills... They would be the beneficiaries. They did not believe Imperial Tutor Zhao's words because they did not want to believe it at all. They also didn't dare to believe it, and even more so, they couldn't believe it."    

His Majesty was stunned for a long time before he nodded heavily and said, "According to what you mean, doesn't that mean that the gold bills now have more credibility than copper coins?"    

Xiao Yun touched his nose and said with a smile, "The three copper coins have been used, and it has caused such a big mess. From the ground movement in the north, to the rebellion, and then to the locust disaster. And now, in just half a year, the three plans have been set up. Too many major events have happened in Great Qin Country, the civilians will not be numb to it. Gold notes were their last straw of hope. How could they let go of it so easily? So in a sense, copper coins are not money. Gold coins are money!"    

His Majesty's eyes twitched a few times, and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, the currency issued by the country is not as trustworthy as the gold coins issued by your tiny depository? What... What do you want to do? Do you want to be my position?! "
