Cao Qi scolded Wang Ning'an, but his health was very honest. The Cao family was also a dignified general. In fact, they were easily willing to be the ones behind. The benefits they could get from intervening in Lingnan were too great.

Just the fleet, north-south material transportation, personnel exchanges, and the livelihoods of tens of millions of people are no less than a set of overseas canal transportation. Through shipping, how much benefits can you connect and how many connections can you capture!

Wang Ning'an is right. He can't count on Zhao Zongshi. His sister may not have a child, but as long as he holds huge strength, no one can shake the Cao family.

When he was with Wang Ning'an, Cao Qi felt that his moral level had declined too quickly, but he had no choice.

"I said Erlang, Pan, Shi, Hu Yan, the three families joined the country first. Can the deposit be reduced?" Cao Guojiu wanted to save some conscience.

"No!" Wang Ning'an said flatly: "There are so many things in Lingnan, how can you play without money? Your brother-in-law's national treasury is in deficit. Lingnan alone has to be rebuilt with 6 million guan. He can't take out a copper coin, so he points to the money and can't be refunded!"

Cao Qi was stunned, "Their money will not be refunded. Do others need to increase their deposit? Otherwise, how can we distinguish between coming first and then coming?"

"This is a problem. You must be clear in rewards and punishments when doing things. Of course, you cannot be the same as outsiders..." Wang Ning'an's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Let's do this, the deposit will remain unchanged, just adjust the return ratio."

"How to adjust?" Cao Qi said stupidly.

"Pan, Shi, Hu Yan, the three of them are the first batch to participate in the development. After three years, they can be fully refunded. The second batch will be refunded 70% after five years. When the third batch will be refunded 50%... and so on, how about it?"

"Not really! You're robbing money!"

Wang Ning'an glared at him, "How about robbing money? See if they pay it?"

Cao Qi was speechless when asked. Not to mention that he could return it, even if he didn't return it, they would be happy to see the Tongshan on the pier.

Wang Ning'an grabbed the weakness of these people and took a bite. Forget it, I will gain some benefits by following Wang Ning'an. Nowadays, if you don't learn to eat people, how can you make a fortune? As the saying goes, horses don't eat night grass, and people don't have to be rich without being rich. You should also learn from Wang Ning'an's cruelty.

I am just too soft-hearted!

Seeing Cao Qi's eyes flashing, Wang Ning'an knew that this guy might not have how to arrange himself in his heart!

"Hmph, come and ask me."

"What are you asking?" Cao Qi was stunned.

"Of course I'm asking how the bronze statue turned into a copper mine!" Wang Ning'an and Cao Qi stepped out and asked someone to call the person in charge of the fleet to come.

...

Just as they were chatting, Zeng Gongliang had already left the dock and headed straight to the palace. He was so proud that he had a smile on his face.

Zhao Zhen met Zeng Gongliang in Chuigong Hall.

"I have seen the saints, and they are indeed very good copper ingots, and they can be cast into copper coins immediately."

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed, "Since that's the case, why didn't Zeng Aiqing start immediately? Could it be that there is still something to do?"

Zeng Gongliang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have talked with Lord Wang, but he has a different opinion."

"Is it Wang Ning'an? That boy is just too sensible." Zhao Zhen said curiously: "Zeng Aiqing, what did he say?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, he means not to mint money for the time being, but to place the copper ingots in the Sansi Yamen, the most conspicuous place, so that people in the past can see it, and then make a lot of publicity, saying that the court obtained the copper mine, and from then on, the problem of money shortage will be gone."

Zhao Zhen took a breath, feeling unhappy. He got a lot of copper this time, but it was still far from solving the money shortage! How could he speak nonsense?

He also said that he had solved the money shortage and there was no chance to come to another hundred ships. Is Wang Ning'an a little bloated? He is eager to be greedy for me? This is not possible. The little thing still has to be beaten!

Seeing that Zhao Zhen's face changed, Zeng Gongliang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang means is that the shortage of money is not only because of insufficient money, but also other reasons?"

“What’s the reason?”

"In the heart of expectation?" Zeng Gongliang learned a new word from Wang Ning'an.

Zhao Zhen was puzzled and asked, "What does it mean?"

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang said that the court lacks copper on one hand, but on the other hand, many people also saw the problem, so they took the opportunity to hoard copper coins and were reluctant to take out their consumption, which aggravated the money shortage."

The ancients were not stupid at all. Zhao Zhen has been paying attention to the shortage of money for more than a year or two. As Zeng Gongliang said, every time he cast a batch of copper coins and put them on the market, they disappeared shortly after they were circulating on the market.

Even in later generations, they often dug out an astonishing amount of copper coins. Many people in later generations can't understand. They thought to themselves whether the ancients were stupid, why did they save money and not spend it? Isn't this a disease?

In fact, it was because I had no back pain when I stood up and talked. In ancient times, there were a lack of investment projects, and many families pursued frugality, so it was normal to save money.

Moreover, precious metals were always lacking in ancient China. Today, things that can be bought with 500 ci, but next year, it may only be 450 ci... The purchasing power of copper coins is constantly increasing, and saving money is profitable. If you lose money, do you see if the ancients spend money?

Wang Ning'an told Zhao Zhen and Zeng Gongliang a very important psychological factor!

Relying on the orders of the court and by throwing copper coins, it may not be effective.

But if you put a huge copper mountain in the Sansi Yamen, it would be equivalent to telling the world that there are countless copper numbers in the court, and it is useless to save copper coins. Not only will it not appreciate, but it will also depreciate.

As long as the psychological factors are reversed, many people will take out the hidden money.

To solve the money shortage, we must not only increase supply, but also revitalize the stock!

Let the existing copper coins circulate...

"It's really hard for him. He even brags openly and righteously!" Zhao Zhen thought to himself that Wang Ning'an can always bring surprises to himself.

"Okay, let's do it according to his idea. Zeng Aiqing and Wang Ning'an are quite insightful in managing finances. I once wanted him to serve as the envoy of the Three Divisions to help me manage finances."

Zhao Zhen said it easily, but Zeng Gongliang almost called out. Fortunately, the old man had enough practice and Mount Tai collapsed before, but his face did not change!

But letting Wang Ning'an be the three envoys is even more scary than the collapse of Mount Tai!

My husband who is less than twenty years old, think about it. All the civil officials in the court, a large group of bearded men, can be grandfathers for Wang Ning'an, but they have to be humble and respect him, "Mr. King Wang". Thinking about that scene, Zeng Gongliang felt chill all over.

Zhao Zhen grabbed his beard and said lightly: "Later, the matter of Lingnan has happened, and I asked him to go south, but Wang Qing has issued a military order to get me 5 million guan to fill the country's supply."

Hearing this, Zeng Gongliang was so harsh that he was so tender that his bones were sore and tender that he was so stingy.

Why are you scary things one after another? How capable is Wang Ning'an? He has 5 million guan in one mouth. You think it's so easy to make money, and it's the strong wind?

Zeng Gongliang bowed and said, "Sage, I forgive the old minister for saying that the 1 million jin of copper is certainly a lot, but all of them have cast copper coins, which is only 250,000 jin. It is still too far from 5 million jin. The old minister thought that even if Wang Ning'an had the ability to turn into gold, he would not get 5 million jin. If he really got it, the old minister would rather abdicate the throne and give way to the wise. Who dares to say that Wang Ning'an is not suitable? The old minister will argue with him!"

Zeng Gongliang seemed stubborn and persistent, Zhao Zhen smiled, "Zeng Aiqing, that boy Wang Ning'an is indeed a bit of a ghost. Look, maybe he can really send the money then. Let's wait and see!"

...

"The villain Murong Qingchen, pay homage to Lord Wang."

Standing in front of Wang Ning'an was a weak scholar. Although he was wearing a green hat, he was arrogant and had a rugged look. He looked pretty and not like an ordinary servant.

Wang Ning'an blinked, "Uncle Guo, is he the one you sent to Dali?"

"Yes, how about it, I chose a good person, right?"

Cao Qi said casually: "Murong, you told Lord Wang about the passage. I also want to know, when you asked you to buy Buddha statues in Dali, why did you get a bunch of copper ingots back? Did they all melt them?"

Murong Qingchen waved his hand quickly, "When the master said, the young man took people to Dali, and almost every family worshiped Buddha. When he heard that the young man wanted to buy a Buddha statue, he decided that I was a bad intention and arrested me."

Wang Ning'an was drinking tea. When he heard this, he coughed twice, quickly picked up the teacup to cover up his embarrassment. He had intentionally hurt Cao Qi at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be useful. But the question is why Murong Qingchen came out and got so many copper ingots back, which is really interesting!

"Go back to the master, the young man was in Dali for several months. Later, the king of Dali suddenly lifted the villain out of the prison."

"Why?" Cao Qi said curiously.

"The young man didn't know at first, but later the young man knew it. It turned out that a general from the Song Dynasty led a large army into Jiaozhi and burned the Shenglong Mansion to scare the King of Jiaozhi to death! All foreign countries were frightened, especially the King of Dali, who admired the Central Plains for a long time and was determined to be in harmony with the Central Plains. After seeing the strength of the Heavenly Dynasty, he wanted to join the country even more."

Cao Qi was stunned. He criticized Wang Ning'an, "I said Erlang, these barbarians are really mean. The more they hit them, the more obedient they are. It's really strange! It seems that you are killing someone right!"

When Murong Qingchen heard this, he suddenly looked disbelief and asked in surprise: "Mr. Wang, could it be that you led your troops into Shenglong Mansion?"

Wang Ning'an smiled and nodded, "To be precise, there is Zhao Zongjing, the prince of Jiyin, although he is useless."

When Murong Qingchen heard this, tears flowed all over his face, and suddenly his knees softened and he knelt on Wang Ning'an forcibly.

"The kindness of the great Lord, if there is no Lord, Qingchen would be afraid that the foreign country would never come back!"

Wang Ning'an was a little embarrassed. He caused him to lie in a black prison and rescue him. It was really hard to explain what to do.

"Get up quickly, we people from the Song Dynasty kneel down if we don't promote it."

Unexpectedly, when Murong Qingchen's body shook again with a word "the people of the Song Dynasty", and he seemed even more excited, and there was light in his eyes.

Wang Ning'an didn't notice that his mind was in Dali, "According to your words, these coppers were given to you by the King of Dali?"

"That's right, Dali has no way to surrender to the Song Dynasty. I heard that I was sent by my uncle, so I specially asked Xiao Di to pay a visit to Shuai Di with a heavy gift. Shuai Di said that the court lacked copper, so Dali immediately contributed 1 million kilograms, which Xiao Di and General Li took to the capital together."

At this time, Li Wuji came over with his tall body, "Sir, what he said is what he said. He burned Shenglong Mansion, it was so good, and it burned our majesty! Now those barbarians in the southwest have changed their reputations and I heard that they are all scaring the sleeping children with your name!"

Wang Ning'an turned his head in anger. It turned out that he was the same as Zhang Liao!

Is I that scary? But he also understood that these coppers were his own war bonus, and he was more confident in using them!
