Chapter 37: Great Corruption - Seeking Profit for the Country

Fan Sizhe asked in confusion: "You call this small money? This is a business worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

At this time, Emperor Qing also looked at Su Wenyi with curiosity, his eyes full of curiosity.

I wonder what shocking words Su Wenyi will say next.

Su Wenyi smiled and said, "If you seek profit for yourself and your family, you will always be just a businessman!"

"If you want to be like your father, you must learn how to benefit the country!"

"Why does the Ministry of Revenue exist? Is it just to manage the court's purse?"

"At least in my opinion, if the Ministry of Revenue itself cannot make money, it will only manage and spend money."

"Then this Ministry of Revenue is really meaningless!"

"Think about your father. Do you know why your father was only a minister but was given the title of Si Nan Bo?"

Fan Sizhe shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Su Wenyi smiled and explained: "Because your father is not only good at managing money, but also good at making money."

"That's why, over the years, our Qing Kingdom has become stronger and stronger, while Northern Qi has become weaker and weaker."

"The bottom line is that Qing has become richer and more profitable, but Northern Qi has become poorer."

After saying this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Well said!"

"Master Su's words are so accurate!"

"We in Qing are rich, and they in Northern Qi are poor, so we are stronger than them!"

After listening to this, Fan Sizhe seemed to think of something in his mind.

Su Wenyi looked at him sitting there motionless and shook his head helplessly.

Fan Sizhe has a special talent for numbers, and based on this, it is not difficult for him to make money.

It’s just that Fan Sizhe’s character and other qualities are still too poor now. If he is properly disciplined, he will definitely be able to make it.

If I stay with Fan Xian forever, I will be protected too well and my development will be too slow.

If you follow me, it will be a simple way to hone my character.

If we let him handle the perfume and high-concentration alcohol business, we will definitely be able to make a fortune!
But it is useless for people who only know how to make money.

If you don’t know what money is, what’s the point of having a lot of money?

Su Wenyi walked to sit between Emperor Qing and Fan Sizhe. At this time, the table had been cleared away.

Su Wenyi took the teacup and teapot and placed them in front of Fan Sizhe, then poured some water in front of Emperor Qing.

"Let's play a game among the three of us."

Su Wenyi pointed at Emperor Qing and said, "One of you will sell water, and the other will sell teapots and teacups."

"What if you both have no money, but you both want to buy each other's things?"

Emperor Qing did not speak, but turned his gaze to Fan Sizhe.

Fan Sizhe looked at the two people and said without thinking: "Why don't I just exchange the teacup and teapot with them?"

Su Wenyi nodded and said, "Then let me ask you, can your teacup and teapot also be used as money at this time?"

Fan Sizhe was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not wrong to exchange things for things."

Su Wenyi took out copper coins, silver and gold bars from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Then let me ask you again, what is the difference between these three things and your teacups and teapots?"

This one sentence made Emperor Qing and Fan Sizhe frown.

After hesitating for a moment, Fan Sizhe said, "Everyone agrees on these copper coins, silver, and gold bars."

“So we can only use this thing!”

Su Wenyi asked back: "Then why doesn't iron work?"

This time Fan Sizhe was completely dumbfounded and couldn't answer no matter what.

Seeing this, Su Wenyi shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'd better just say it directly."

"Since teacups and teapots can be used as money, gold, silver and copper can also be used as money." "Then if one day there is a new thing that replaces these, can it become the new currency?"

Fan Sizhe nodded and said, "Yes! No, that's not right. If something wants to become currency, it has to be recognized by someone!"

Su Wenyi smiled and nodded: "Yes, recognition! This is very important!"

"Just like the copper coins of Northern Qi cannot be used in our Qing country, and vice versa."

"But do you know that some banknotes can be used in both countries?"

"The reason is that the maker of this silver note has sufficient credit and gold and silver."

"Just think about it, if the country unifies the country, the government will print banknotes uniformly."

"Use the reputation of the country and the royal family as a guarantee, and prepare a large amount of gold and silver."

"If paper money eventually replaces the current gold and silver, will it be possible to collect all the money in the world?"

"And all we paid for was some paper."

After saying this, the system's voice sounded in Su Wenyi's mind again.

Poison System: "It is detected that the host is planning to use a trick to harm a country!"

"A special reward is a complete set of currency printing technology!"

Hearing the system prompt, Su Wenyi remained silent, but he was extremely shocked in his heart!
Once successful and if used well, this move can enable a country's business and trade to develop rapidly.

But if it is not used properly, the country will be overthrown in a matter of days.

I just said it and didn't even think about asking anyone to do it.

But some people have already thought about how to use what they said to harm other countries.

Emperor Qing, this Sixth Brother’s brain is really useful, so useful it’s scary!

It's really tiring to get along with such people.

Emperor Qing asked Su Wenyi with a serious expression, "I'm afraid you have been planning this for a long time."

"But why didn't you tell me earlier? Why did you have to wait until now?"

Emperor Qing's tone was very bad because he was very angry.

This Su Wenhe, what does he want to do by hiding such a good thing? !

Su Wenyi glanced at Emperor Qing and said calmly, "Do you dare to use it without testing it?"

"If used well, these can quickly enhance a country's economic strength."

"But if it is not used properly, the dynasty will be overthrown in no time!"

"I'm telling you directly, do you dare to use it? Moreover, can you use it?"

These two sentences choked Emperor Qing so much that he couldn't utter a word.

At this moment, Fan Sizhe seemed as if all his extraordinary meridians were opened up, and his whole body became clear.

Fan Sizhe looked at Su Wenyi excitedly and said, "Indeed, this matter is indeed risky."

"The imperial court absolutely cannot intervene directly, because there is a real risk of the country being overthrown."

"But this matter is too important to be handed over to other people."

"So! There needs to be a middleman to resolve all this."

“This link is only responsible for collecting and storing money, but not for printing.”

"The printing must be handed over to the court!"

"Cooperation between the two sides is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds!"

Fan Sizhe's voice gradually became louder and louder, and Su Wenyi's smile grew wider as he listened.

This Fan Sizhe is truly a born God of Wealth!

　Artificial God of Wealth—Fan Sizhe!
