Chapter 225 Inflation

Time is like a white horse. Sure enough, as Xia Wuchen said, although Ouyang Wan's martial arts skills were not high at night, he still felt that the whole uterus seemed to be monitored. However, even so, Ouyang Wan still ran to the uterus to find Xia Wuchen as before. Similarly, as the prince of a country, he should have been very busy, but I don't know why Xia Wuchen is more leisurely than before. He hides in the house and reads books every day.

Ling Yue is not interested in those poems and songs, so she doesn't bother to pay attention to them. On the contrary, the crown princess Qingyi will often discuss and discuss with Xia Wuchen. As for Xie Yinxue, in addition to helping Ling Yue deal with some matters of the Chamber of Commerce, she is basically very idle. But during this period, Emperor Xia's body was not as good as day, with headaches all night long. The imperial doctors were helpless about this, which was also secretly told by Liu Ye, and the court ministers did not know.

Similarly, before that, Ling Yue also gave the whole Xia's treasury an extra 100 million taels of silver within a month. Some people who did not go to save money regretted it, while those who entered the money in January were waiting for the promise of 10% interest a year later.

"Ling Yue, have you come up with a countermeasure about silver?" The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Liu Xi stood beside Emperor Xia with his eyes drooping with dust in his hand, and his waist was slightly bent. Xia Di half opened his eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep, so his voice also seemed a little impatient.

"No." Since Emperor Xia refused Liuye's plan to earn money by raising the price of salt, Ling Yue has been too lazy to think about this matter. On the one hand, because she knew that Emperor Xia would soon die. On the other hand, Ling also hoped to contain Xia Wuchen through this matter. After Xia Wuchen ascended the throne, he must also face this problem. At that time, it was the most important thing to completely reform the country's finance through this matter.

Xia Di didn't seem to expect Ling Yue to answer so simply, and from Ling Yue's expression, he didn't seem to have considered this question at all. Thinking of this, Xia Di's face darkened: "Do you want to blackmail me? Or do you want to blackmail the prince?"

Ling Yue's heart suddenly sank, and how could her thoughts be seen through by Emperor Xia, so she immediately looked distressed: "Weichen was scared, but Weichen really didn't expect that Weichen had also proposed to the emperor to pass salt before..."

Before Ling Yue finished speaking, Emperor Xia interrupted: "There is no need to talk about that matter. The power in Jiangnan is not something you can deal with. Within a month, I ordered you to find another way. Well, retreat."

"Weichen obeyed." Ling Yue retreated respectfully. Before leaving, she saw Liu Xi raise her head slightly, glance at herself, and then lowered her head again.

After Ling Yue left, Emperor Xia seemed to be a little uncomfortable because he always had a posture, so he changed his posture slightly and said quietly, "Liu Xi, do you know why I didn't let her go to Jiangnan?"

Liu Xi shook his head and whispered, "How can I speculate about the emperor's thoughts?"

Xia Di smiled twice and said, "Dao Nu, you have been with me for so long, don't you know what's on my mind? Come on, I also want to hear your opinion on this matter."

Liu Xi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you are worried... The power of the Supervision Institute is too huge, and I'm afraid that Murong Lingyue and Jiangnan forces will collude with each other at that time, which will be troublesome."

"Yes, I'm worried about this, so I don't want Ling Yue to go to Jiangnan." Xia Di said, "This woman is not simple. I have been fooled by her from the beginning. Now the money has been collected, but a year later, those interests will be cashed one after another. There should be other ways in her mind besides the idea of salt, but she just doesn't want to tell me.

Liu Xi wondered, "Why?"

"Is there any need to ask? She hopes to use this to blackmail me." Xia Di said slowly, "This woman is different from other women. Other women hope to get glory, wealth, or favor through men, but she just wants to control her own life. I began to regret that I didn't kill her at the beginning."

"Your Majesty, if you want to kill her, it's not too late." Liu Xi said.

Xia Di shook his head and was a little helpless: "Kill her? That's impossible. I have torn my face with the dean. Now, if Ling Yue is killed, what should the Supervision Institute do? And the slave beside her has entered the realm of martial arts. May I ask who can touch her?

"Your Majesty, that..."

"I have to look at it first, otherwise what can I do?" Emperor Xia said, "Liu Xi, sometimes, I think it's meaningless for me to be alive. Whether it's an emperor or a beggar, I'm always going to die. All efforts are dedicated to death.

Liu Xi thought that perhaps it was because Emperor Xia always had a headache during this period, and it was inevitable that he would think of death when he was old, which led to Emperor Xia's depression. Therefore, Liu Xi knew that he could only say better and comforted him, "Your Majesty, you are the son of destiny and live a long life."

"Hehe, they all shouted long live, long live, but who in the end is long live? It's just that it sounds good in my ears. I still have this idea. Xia Di sighed gently, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth: "But speaking of which, even fate may be changed."

Liu Xi silently wrote down this sentence in his heart, because he always felt that Emperor Xia's sentence had a deep meaning. Although he didn't know where it was and what it meant, there was always nothing wrong to remember.

Ling Yue returned to the uterus, but felt uncomfortable all over. The feeling of being seen through her thoughts made her restless. At the same time, Xia Wuchen's light wind made her always feel that she had ignored something. This feeling lasted for a long time.

How can we come up with an effective solution? In fact, Emperor Xia guessed wrong, that is, Ling Yue had no way at all, so when Emperor Xia ordered Ling Yue to hand over the solution within a month, she was indeed a little embarrassed. After all, this era is not the era when financial products are full of chaos. A series of financial products such as stocks, funds, bonds, gold, etc. are recognized by the people. And here, not to mention stocks and funds, I'm afraid that even the most secure gold cannot be accepted, which is very simple, because in this era, gold can also be directly used as currency.

Wait... It seems that something flashes through my mind. Since someone saves money, it seems that someone will also need to borrow money. How can I forget this? It seems that life is too comfortable.

"How about the loan at night?"

Liu Ye, who was drinking tea, raised his head and looked at Ling Yue with an inexplicable face: "Sister, you have been silent since you just came back and have been thinking about a loan for half a year?"

Ling Yue nodded and asked seriously, "Yes, Liu Ye, what do you think of the loan? That's a good idea, right?

Liu Ye thought for a long time and nodded seriously, saying, "Sister, I think the loan is a very good idea, and it should be said that it can solve many problems."

"That's right, haha, since Liu Ye's opinion is the same as mine, then it's decided, it's a loan." Ling Yue smiled and said, "Hee hee, I didn't expect you to be quite smart."

Liu Ye said proudly, "That's of course, but sister, I have another question."

"What's the problem?"

"What is a loan?" Liu Ye asked sincerely.

"..." I don't know why, at that moment, Ling Yue really had an impulse to strangle Liu Ye, but in the end, driven by reason, she still smiled and replied, "A loan is to borrow money."

Liu Ye showed a sudden expression of enlightenment, and at the same time, he was a little depressed: "If you borrow money, you can borrow money. It's inexplicable to talk about loans."

"..." Ling Yue said, "What do you think of the idea of borrowing money?"

Liu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Sister, are you going to borrow money to fill the very interest you promised by those people who saved money crazily before?"

"That's right." Ling Yue nodded and asked, "Well, this method should be feasible."

"It's feasible, but the question is that if you get the profit of borrowing money to 10, who else will borrow money? Now the profit of borrowing money is only five cents.

"I know it's only five points, so I'm wondering if I should print more silver tickets."

Liu Ye was even more confused: "What's the use of printing more silver tickets?"

"It's very simple. People with a little money will not carry a large amount of silver with them at all. Most of them are silver tickets, so silver tickets can also be used as currency. However, it is the country that prints silver notes. If you print more silver notes, there will be more silver. Although this will lead to inflation, it doesn't matter. Ling Yue said, "Do you understand?"
