Zhou Wen was stunned, Sun Jie was stunned, and all the guards present were stunned. Locke and Luo Fei even widened their eyes and opened their mouths and became stupid. Although they were honest, they also knew the value of money. Although they had known that they could make money by exchanging coins, they had never known as so clearly that they were so profitable!

Zhao Hu, who was immune to money, was just stunned for a moment. All the confidants were present, and they didn't care about being heard because the maid was not qualified to serve at this time.

Zhou Wen shouted with golden eyes: "Sir, leave this exchange to his subordinates! Just transport it back and forth a few times, the funds can be increased several times. What can you do to make money like this? It's like robbing the royal vault!"

Sun Jie wiped his saliva and interrupted, "Can you steal so much from the royal vault? I said it was raining gold coins, and countless money fell from the sky, endless!"

Okde smiled bitterly and said, "Please, this is just theoretically able to exchange so many. If the empire really has so many copper coins, it will definitely depreciate. If so many copper coins are lost on the Southeast Peninsula, it will also appreciate. In the end, the empire must be the same as the exchange rate here.

"Do you really think you can exchange money back and forth for a long time? Maybe it will attract the snooping of the Empire and the Alliance and directly destroy the Southeast Peninsula!"

"What's the matter? We can make a big fortune anyway. It's impossible for adults to stay here for a long time." Zhou Wen said disrespectfully.

Okde shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Now we're using these coins to transport them back to the empire, because these coins cannot be circulated directly in the empire at all. Small quantities can be exchanged privately, but large quantities can only go to the bank. But such a large amount of coins will definitely attract the attention of the imperial department. If you accidentally cause financial turmoil, you will be wanted by the empire immediately. By then, you won't get the fishy taste! "

Zhou Wen immediately became distressed: "What should I do?"

"There are two methods. One is to melt the coins from the Southeast Peninsula and sell them as precious metals, but this will lead to a lot of losses." As soon as Okede said this, Zhou Wen and Sun Jie shook their heads and asked the second method.

Okde first looked at Zhao Hu, then bit his teeth and said, "The second method is the only way to keep the traces out, that is, to mint the coins here into imperial coins."

As soon as these words were said, the whole audience was silent. Any sovereign state would be a crime of privately minting coins.

Zhao Hu, who had no consciousness, thought for a while and asked, "Can you distinguish it?"

Okde, who was already ready to accept the scolding, obviously didn't expect Zhao Hu to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and said: "If it is made according to the metal content of the imperial gold coins, it is simply an imperial coins except for the new quality. If we deal with it as usual, we can't tell that it is newly minted."

"Do we have craftsmen who mint coins?" Zhao Hu asked again.

This time, Sun Jie replied: "Yes, sir, my subordinates realized that the Southeast coins were minted by various forces according to the standards. Moreover, I looked at the list of craftsmen. Not only were there coin minters, but even blacksmiths, boat makers, carpenters, cobblers, etc. If it weren't for the small number of people, it was like a country and had all kinds of talents. No wonder Mingyue City could become an independent force."

At this moment, everyone heard that Zhao Hu was preparing to mint coins himself, but for them, this was not a particularly important matter. After all, it is on the Southeast Peninsula now. Can the Empire find out here?

When Okde saw Zhao Hu's intentional move, he reminded him with some concern: "Sir, it's best not to mint too many coins for the first time."

Sun Jie interrupted and said, "It's not okay to cast too much. There are only a few craftsmen. It's amazing to get tens of thousands of him a day. Moreover, this is a secret matter, so you can't add people at all!"

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a long flow of water. By the way, what are we good at minting? Gold or copper coins?"

"Copper coins, you can directly get them back for the imperial gold coins, and secondly, the southeast gold coins also have to be exchanged for the southeast copper coins." Zhou Wen said hurriedly.

However, Sun Jie retorted: "Sister, don't forget that there are only a few craftsmen, and the copper coins in stock are more than 5 million stags, which is more than 5 billion copper coins. The project is too big. Just melt the gold coins into imperial gold coins, which can be used directly in the empire."

Zhou Wen curled his lips and said, "Of course I know, but although I directly melted the Southeast gold coins into imperial gold coins, it was a loss. One gold coins were missing 7,000 copper coins."

When everyone heard this, they felt at a loss. Just when everyone was worried and didn't know what to do, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Don't think so much. Anyway, we don't lack money now, so it doesn't matter slowly melting and casting copper coins. If we need money urgently, we can use these Southeast copper coins to buy imperial supplies, and then sell imperial supplies to the Southeast Peninsula. In this way, using Southeast copper coins to buy goods in the Empire, I believe that it is not eye-catching to exchange money directly for money, right?"

When everyone heard that in the empire, you can buy a silver coin goods with one hundred copper coins. On the Southeast Peninsula, even if you sell a Southeast silver coin, you will make three times the profit, but the profit is much safer, and the shortage goods can be sold twice as much, making more profits.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately praised it, and only Zhou Wen muttered: "It's not as quick as directly exchanging coins."

Okede said a little embarrassedly: "My wise, my subordinates are confused by the huge numbers brought by the exchange coins. In fact, smuggling is also equivalent to exchanging coins, and it is more profitable and hidden. No wonder Mingyue City has so much money and has to smuggle.

"You must know that using money to buy goods like this will not attract attention at all, and Southeast coins can also be used openly. As long as we do not smuggle, the Empire hopes to have a few more such businesses because this is increasing export volume."

Zhao Hu smiled and shook his head and said, "I will leave this matter to Okde. You can find Fair as an assistant. No matter how you say that he is the Mingyue City responsible for these matters." After that, he stopped discussing this matter and began to ask Sun Jie: "In addition to money, what other good things are hidden in Mingyue City?"

Sun Jie woke up from his reverie of money: "Oh, there are five thousand sets of intact armor, ten thousand sets of swords, guns, shields and bows, twenty granaries, and ten thousand stones each. However, compared with the inventory funds of Mingyue City, the military preparations are simply poor."

Think about it, it’s true that the wealth in stocks of tens of millions of yuan, but the weapons and equipment are only like this, which makes people feel weird.

Zhao Hu smiled and said, "No wonder, I heard from Mode that the Southeast Peninsula is not short of gold and silver, food and copper, but everything is short of all but these. They have to smuggle iron and leather armor from outside, so it is not surprising that the military equipment is poor. Has the count of the surrendered soldiers been completed?"

"With the support of those retainers, the inventory was soon completed. We captured more than 5,000 soldiers, more than 1,000 of whom were private soldiers of retainers in the city. They came to ask for it, but they were blocked by their subordinates.

"I sent my subordinates to investigate and found that these soldiers were not resistant to loyalty to the Lord. Because it is very common to absorb prisoners to join their own army on this Southeast Peninsula, so as long as the Lord reorganizes them, they can be used as militias led by majors." Sun Jie said.

"Hmph, a bunch of guys who are not loyal." Zhou Wen said dissatisfied.

Sun Jie defended: "Sister, that's not what he said. In places where wars are frequent, everyone will habitually surrender to the strong. This cannot be blamed on their disloyalty, after all, they must survive."

"Hmph." Zhou Wen shut up. Although he couldn't stand it, he also had hopes of pursuing survival. Moreover, the surrender of the other party saved him so much trouble. Isn't that good?

Okede suddenly said to Zhao Hu: "Sir, do you really want to give this place to people from the Southeast Peninsula? This place is very promising."

No wonder Okede said this. Now Zhao Hu is equivalent to the local emperor here, but in the empire, he is just a major in a local army. Compared with this, Zhao Hu can develop and take off more.

Originally, Oaked would not have proposed this, but after seeing Zhao Hu agree to mint coins, his ideas began to change.

Zhao Hu didn't say anything, but Zhou Wen said strangely: "If you don't leave it to people from local backgrounds, can you let the adults manage it personally? If you don't say what will happen after the empire will know, even the Southeast Peninsula will not agree with outsiders."

Okde smiled and said, "Hey, Sister Zhou Wen, haven't you seen those retainers who know that the adults are outsiders, but they still do allegiance to them? They swear without even knowing what everyone calls them. Don't you think they are very realistic? But there is trouble in the empire."

"Hey, is there any way for adults to occupy this place? This place has a lot of money." Sun Jie said excitedly.

After counting the inventory, Sun Jie felt that it was a wrong decision to hand over this place to someone else.

After thinking for a while, Okde said confidently: "It's very simple. The adults have a fake name and then wear a mask when they go out. Such a brand new family ruled Mingyue City. There is no objection on the Southeast Peninsula and the Empire will not know about it. After all, except for a few people, other people on the Southeast Peninsula do not know the adults' names."
