The King of Qin smiled and said, "With writing, the Qin Dynasty will last forever. This is a grand event that will last for thousands of years. I will have to thank Mr. Zhou. This is the second one, and there are still eight things to be missing, Mr. Zhou continued."

He was really so precise. He remembered the number so accurately. Zhou Chong felt a little funny in his heart and responded: "King, Zhou Chong thought that before the world was one, there were currencies from all countries. If today they were unified, the currency would also be unified. Qin money should be promoted throughout the world and all currencies from all countries would be abolished.

”

This statement was immediately responded by everyone. Li Si nodded and said, "Yes, the world is united. If there is no unified currency, it will be difficult to transport goods and exchange rates, which is not conducive to rest and recuperation. The king, I think this matter should be started as soon as possible."

Han Fei stuttered: "What Mr. Zhou said is very reasonable, but the Qin money is already being promoted in Shandong, and it only needs to be implemented in Lingnan."

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Don't rush to speak first. Mr. Zhou's words are not over yet. It's not too late to listen to Mr. Zhou's words before making a decision. Mr. Zhou please speak."

Zhou Chong continued: "King, Zhou Chong thought that the minting of coins should be returned to the court, and the people should not mint coins. If any violators are punished, they are subject to serious crimes.

"Money is very important. An improper control will disrupt the entire economic system. In ancient times, the court lacked understanding of this and did not accept the right to mint money to the court. As a result, a country often has several kinds of currencies in circulation, and the state cannot control economic development.

Zhou Chong didn't know much about economics, but he knew one thing: the right to mint money belongs to the court rather than to put it among the people, allowing the people to mint money. At least the macro-control we often say now requires monetary policy as a supplement, so Zhou Chong proposed this article.

The King of Qin nodded and praised, "I think this is feasible. If the coins are not under the control of the Qin Dynasty.

Let the people mint money, they can mint as much as they want, and they can mint whatever they want. If you want, then it will not be messed up. This matter is decided."

Zhou Chong supplemented it based on the principles of modern economics and said: "The King, Zhou Chong thought that the Qin Dynasty should mint coins according to the needs of the people. If there are too many coins, it will cause the price of goods to soar, and if it is insufficient, it will make it inconvenient for the people to buy and sell."

This involves the principles of modern economics, which exceeds the cognition of that era. Although the King of Qin was smart, it was impossible to understand it immediately, saying, "Why is this?"

Before Zhou Chong could speak, Gan Luo spoke in the ground. He said, "Master, have you ever seen a boat sailing in the river?"

The King of Qin was stunned and said, "I have seen it. What does it matter?"

"It's not only related, but it's a big deal." Gan Luo straightened his chest and said, "Please think about it. If the water in the river is insufficient, it will be difficult for the boat to drive. If the water in the river flows too much, it will overflow from the embankment.

To harm the people, a river that benefits the people should not only ensure the boat ride but not harm the people. Therefore, the most dangerous period for a river is summer and winter, which is prone to flooding in summer, and excessive water flows, which can easily cause floods.

In winter, the river water is dry. The amount of water is insufficient, making it inconvenient for boating.

"This currency control is like the water in a river, which must ensure that the people are sufficient, but not too much. If it is insufficient, it will be inconvenient for people to buy and sell, and it is easy to barter. Too much is like a river in summer, which can easily overflow and harm the people.

”

This is not a strict economic theory. It is a very simple economic idea, but under the circumstances at that time.

It is not valuable to have this understanding of Gan Luo, but it is very, very valuable. Zhou Chong shouted in his heart that this boy is extraordinary and his understanding of modern things is unique, so he will spend his time teaching him.

The wisdom of the King of Qin was immediately reflected, and he said with a high-five: "Mr. Zhou is so good, Gan Luo said it clearly. I don't have to discuss this matter anymore, so I decided. The currency relationship is so big that I specially set up a foundry department to manage it.

The amount of money investment should be determined based on the situation in the previous year and cannot be as good as you wish."

According to modern economic theory, the amount of money investment in the coming year is mainly determined by the economic operation of the previous year, and of course there must be corrections.

The King of Qin had such a recognition more than two thousand years ago, and it was very valuable to raise it to such a high level. Zhou Chong praised it very much in his heart.

Zhou Chong thought and blurted out: "Your Majesty, just doing this may not be enough to restore the world quickly, and it is not conducive to future development."

This was a big deal. The King of Qin jumped, stood up and asked, "Mr. Zhou, did you make a mistake?"

Zhou Chong is usually not alarmist. He must have discovered something amazing when he said this. Everyone looked at Zhou Chong in surprise and waited for him to give the answer.

"Why would you make a mistake when the king is on the throne?" As soon as Zhou Chong said, the King of Qin was a little relieved and asked, "Why is that? Mr. Zhou quickly tell me." He sat back.

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Prince Wang, please think that if you want to invest the currency for the next year, you must know how much property the Qin Kingdom will have in the first year. This requires accounting and clarifying the property of the Qin Kingdom.

"The wealth of Daqin mentioned by Zhou Chong is equivalent to the current GDP, which is GDP.

This is a point. If you want to control economic development, you don’t know how big the scale of the economy is. Isn’t that a joke? King Qin laughed and said, “Fortunately, Mr. Zhou mentioned that I woke up like a dream. I must discuss a good idea for this matter.

Mr. Zhou, how to do this?"

Zhou Chong said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that the accounting method should be reformed. Zhou Chong recently thought of a method, which can divide the account into two parts, one part is income and the other part is expenditure. This way, the accounting is clear at a glance and it is convenient to settle.

”

In ancient times, accounting was a record of flow and was inconvenient for settlement. Zhou Chong was not an accountant, but he knew that the main method of accounting for loans was to record income and expenditure separately for settlement.

Li Si was good at calculating, and immediately became interested when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how do you make a account?"

Zhou Chong explained based on the well-known modern accounting method: "For example, spending one tael of silver today will be recorded in the expenditure. And if you earn three taels of silver today, you will be recorded in the income. Today you earn two taels of silver."

Zhou Chong didn't know much about the method of lending accounting, and it was unlikely to say it better. Fortunately, Li Si's understanding of this aspect was amazing. After thinking for a moment, he praised: "Good idea."

The king, I think what Mr. Zhou said was feasible, which was the most convenient way to keep accounts since Pangu opened the world. If you can practice this method, you can save a lot of manpower and material resources and be much faster.

The king, I think it should be implemented nationwide after specific discussions and abolished the previous local accounting methods."

The King of Qin believed in Li Si's ability in calculations and said, "It's so good. Li Si, after you discuss with Mr. Zhou and those staff members, you will draw a specific method to report to me."

"I obey the order." Li Si received the order and said, "Mr. Zhou, Li Si still has another question to ask Mr. Zhou. If a new accounting method is implemented, Li Si thought the account books should be unified, otherwise there would be chaos.
