When Zhou Jia mentioned Da Qing, her voice was much heavier and her tone was full of sarcasm. Da Qing Chun was just brought in to make up the numbers.
Whenever she mentioned money, she couldn't forget the compensation she had paid out.
In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng, who was still handling government affairs with Fusu, raised his head when he heard Zhou Jia mention this.
Zhou Jia would not say something useless for no reason, and it involves the national currency. I'm afraid there are more important things to say behind this.
"Fusu, what do you think?"
Ying Zheng handed the issue of Zhou Jia over to Fusu.
Fusu thought for a moment and said, "No matter what it is, there must be a limit. If this limit is not grasped well, it is easy to lose balance. Money is not the more the better, and the same goes for the coins produced."
Ying Zheng nodded.
That’s indeed true.
Fusu's words also appeared in the comment section. Zhou Jia read his words and said:
"That's correct, but that's not what I meant. Oh, to put it another way, it's the exchange rate between your different currencies. You can see it now, that is, banknotes, coins, and gold. There is also an exchange rate between gold and RMB. Do you understand what I mean?"
When she said that, everyone understood what she meant.
Che Bao asked doubtfully, "Is there any other explanation for this? Isn't the law directly stipulating the exchange rate between them?"
Zhou Jia looked at the other children and asked, "What do you think?"
Tiantian said: "If you say so, then there must be some connection, but we don't understand it."
Tiantian made it clear directly.
They really don't understand this.
Under the sky, only a very few people sensed the hidden meaning in Zhou Jia's words.
"Before I start, let me state that I know nothing about economics. I've been reading this for a long time but still can't figure out what it means. All I know is terms like value, price, and inflation from high school. So, I'll just explain the situation. I'll find a video for the specifics later. You can study it on your own. I'm sure someone with a keen eye for economics will be able to figure it out."
In order to avoid being scolded, Zhou Jia laid out his expectations from the very beginning.
"It's been so long now. When I talk about Your Majesty, I think everyone can recite his achievements by heart. One of them is the unified currency. Before unification, the currencies of various countries were different. Everyone knows this, right? I think the merchants in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period must have felt it most deeply. The currencies of various countries were different. This means that if you do business in another country, you must have that country's currency, right? You have to convert it.
But this is okay, it's not a big problem, it just makes everyone's life a little less convenient. After all, if it's all the same currency, I can travel everywhere in the future, and when you give me a handful of money, I know how much change I should give you, which makes it easy.
After unification, everyone knew that the mainstream currency was basically the same. However, whether it was the Qin Banliang or something later, they were all heavy and difficult to carry. During the Song Dynasty, Jiaozi, the earliest paper currency, was introduced. It was light and easier to carry. I don't want to talk about the later silver compensation. And now, the mainstream currency has always been paper money, but gold has always existed. Anyway, it has nothing to do with a poor person like me.
The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was used to it.
But let’s not talk about it, they don’t want her to mention it yet.
"In the fourth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, that is, in April 175 BC, there was an incident where the prohibition on counterfeiting coins was abolished, and private coinage was allowed."
After saying this, Zhou Jia deliberately did not say anything else, waiting to see their reaction.
Sure enough, soon many emperors questioned the abolition of this decree.
King Ying Zheng of Qin: [His heart deserves death.]
The First Emperor Ying Zheng: [His heart is worthy of death.]
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty: [Coinage should naturally be controlled by the court, and the court should decide the amount of coins to be minted.]
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin: [Based on the situation at the time, the Han Dynasty had no better solution. However, giving up like that was indeed inappropriate.]
Zhou Jia's attention was instantly drawn to the King and His Majesty who appeared at the same time. "Wow, this is the first time the two of them are in the same frame. They're already starting to make fun of each other. Your Majesty, you're always commenting. I always see His Majesty commenting, but you never say a word."
If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time that King Zheng of Qin expressed his own opinion in the comments?
King Zheng of Qin was not in Xianyang today. He went to the military camp to compete with Meng Tian, Meng Yi and the Qin army. When he made the comments, he had just finished fighting with Meng Tian. The two of them were watching Meng Yi compete with the soldiers in the military camp.
Seeing Meng Yi about to be tripped by a sweeping kick, King Zheng of Qin said, "Meng Yi, don't embarrass me!"
Meng Tian also said beside him: "Don't bring shame to the Meng family. If you lose, I will tell Dad when I get back. Let's see if Dad will take out the sword and hit you."
The Qin army watching laughed out loud.
"My king, if Meng Yi really loses, you must give us some reward."
"Meng Yi, hurry up! If you lose, General Meng will chase you and fight you again. Hahahaha..."
"I think Meng Yi hasn't had enough of being chased and beaten by General Meng last time."
Meng Yi jumped up on the spot, dodging the sweeping kick, supported himself on the man's back with one hand, flipped around behind the man, turned around neatly and raised his foot to kick, but the man reacted quickly, dodged sideways, and held his feet with both hands. Meng Yi was startled and kicked hard with his foot, and both of them took a few steps back.
