"Mr. Mo, are you..." Ma Su frowned and looked at the silver coins in his hand. The silver coins minted in the style of Wuzhu coins seemed a little more luxurious than the copper Wuzhu coins, but this was not the point. The point was that this private minting of coins is a serious crime, and what is this? What does Liu Yi want to do?

"Don't worry!" Liu Yi shook his head, grabbed a handful of silver coins and said with a smile: "I will load these silver coins quickly to Hanzhong, which is to suggest that Your Majesty promote a currency above the Wuzhu coins."

"Oh?" Ma Su looked at the coins in his hand and had some guesses in his mind. He didn't say anything, and looked at Liu Yi and waited for the following text.

"It's not about using silver coins to replace Wuzhu coins, but using these silver coins as higher-level coins, such as counting one silver coin as ten or hundreds of Wuzhu coins, so that we can save some copper to do other things."

In terms of rarity, silver is obviously more rare than copper, but the proportion of Galaxy copper mined at present is really impossible to be used as a thousand copper coins like later, and it is difficult to get one to one hundred. However, money may not be equal to the value of metal itself, but at least it is more reliable than those such as straight 100 yuan, and it is easier to accept.

It can also avoid the lower class people. After all, for ordinary people, Wuzhu coins are more suitable, but for the noble families, silver coins are obviously more practical than copper coins.

There are many issues that need to be considered when implementing new currencies. However, due to the shortage of money in Shuzhong, Liu Bei is preparing to promote direct 100 coins, and Liu Yi thinks it is better to directly promote silver coins, and it is easier to accept.

Ma Su groped through his chin and pondered: "This method may be, but if the minting of new coins is really implemented, I am afraid that this Nan Lieutenant General will become a place of right and wrong!"

There is another copper mountain in the south, and now there is a silver mine. If it is really as Liu Yi said, and the silver coin is also promoted, I am afraid that the families in Jingzhou in Shu will not be able to sit still. Liu Yi wants to develop this place and naturalize the barbarians. If these people get involved, there will be many twists and turns.

After all, for most people, the barbarians actually have no need to naturalize! Liu Yi may have made wedding dresses for others if he does this.

Liu Yi nodded. He had considered this matter, but many things did not mean that they were difficult or had resistance, so they would not do it. Moreover, there were risks, which meant that there was profit. If Nanzhong became a place of competition, it could also attract more people.

"That will happen a few years later. By then, the first round of construction in Nanzhong will be over." Liu Yi smiled and said: "No one can tell what will happen in the future. Whether this new currency can be implemented is still a question. Now I just have an idea."

Upon hearing this, Ma Su nodded silently and said no more. Liu Yi knew this kind of thing. After all, if it was really implemented, Liu Yi would not be able to mint coins by himself.

"Mr. Mo brought me here for this?" Ma Su looked around curiously. In addition to silver coins, there were some other silver ornaments, silver utensils, etc., which were considered a silver factory.

"It's almost the same." Liu Yi nodded. It was mainly about this. He wanted to see Ma Su's opinion.

Ma Su was a little amused and crying. Just say it directly, why do you want to take me to suffer?

Thinking of the previous experience, Ma Su felt his stomach churning again. He didn't understand why young people like Guan Xing and Zhang Bao liked this thing so much. They rode on the rush every day when they found opportunities.

Liu Yi brought a set of silver tableware and utensils to Lu Lingqi and put them on the car. He waved to Ma Su and said, "Let's go, if you have this car, you can go back before sunset."

"Mr. Mo is kind, Su is grateful. But Su suddenly feels that the scenery here is good and wants to linger here for a night and set off again tomorrow." Ma Su shook his head and politely declined Liu Yi's invitation. He didn't want to experience that second time.

"Okay!" Liu Yi got into the car, closed the guardrail, shook his head, said hello to Ma Su, and stepped on the pedal, and the track car started to accelerate again.

This time, standing under the car watching, Ma Su could feel more clearly the acceleration after the speed of the vehicle increased rapidly. In fact, from the sidelines, there may not be many pieces. Just thinking about the feeling of being in it, Ma Su felt a little uncomfortable.

...

The buildings in Kunchi area have already been on track, especially after the paving of several major tracks, the transportation efficiency of materials has become higher. Liu Yi also specially made dozens of cranes. The construction speed of the new city is much faster, and it is not a big city itself. At the current speed, Liu Yi thinks that the construction can be basically completed before next spring plowing. Of course, this must be under the premise that Meng Huo does not come to make trouble.

However, for Meng Huo, it was obviously impossible to allow Liu Yi to act so arrogantly on his territory. During this period, he was actively preparing for the war. The cave owner brought to Bana Cave had already heard news that the Mulu King had agreed to send troops to help Meng Huo take revenge and was leading the army to come here. Meng Huo practiced troops with his wife every day, waiting for the final victory.

"Wu Tu Gu is still in the future?" Meng Huo observed the map, frowned and asked his brothers that the people sent to the Ugo Kingdom should have arrived early. If this Wu Tu Gu sent troops, even if they were far apart, they should have arrived now, but there was no news, which made Meng Huo wonder if something happened on the way.

"It should be coming soon." Meng You was not sure. This matter was taken into account by the cave owner, but the Ugo Kingdom is thousands of miles away and underdeveloped communication, they could not know the accurate movements of Natugu.

Meng Huo nodded and said no more. Now he waited for Bana Cave to arrive before sending troops. Although he was very cautious about this battle, for so long, seeing Liu Yi start to make big moves on his former territory, the barbarians around him were constantly weakening their rejection of Liu Yi. Meng Huo felt that he could not wait. If he dragged on like this, the hearts of the entire Nanzhong might have to turn to Liu Yi. This is not a good thing!

A few days later, Meng Huo was training troops. Suddenly someone came to report that King Mulu was here. Meng Huo quickly led his army to greet him. But he saw King Mulu riding a white elephant. The elephant was huge and looked like a wall from the side. The King Mulu was quite burly, but at this moment he looked a little small while sitting on the back of the elephant.

"Mulu meets the Barbarian King!" The Mulu king jumped off the elephant's back. He was wearing golden pearl garlands and jumped down like this. The golden pearl garlands collided with each other and made a series of sounds, which were quite pleasant.

Meng Huo hurried forward, supported King Mulu, shook his head and sighed, "Now that he has lost his foundation, and he has been defeated by the Han army several times. How can he be called the Barbarian King?"

King Mulu sighed: "The king fought repeatedly and defeated, and defended my tribe, and he was always robbed ten thousand times more than those who were humble. The king is actually a hero of my southern tribe."

Meng Huo no longer mentioned this matter, welcomed King Mulu into the cave and discussed the issue of sending troops with King Mulu. At present, King Mulu brought 30,000 cave soldiers. Meng Huo, with the troops and horses captured by Yinye Cave and King Duosi, can also gather 30,000 troops. The 60,000 troops, plus the barbarian beasts brought by King Mulu, will fight Liu Yi, and he will also have some confidence.

"The beasts outside the cave are Brother Mulu's beast army?" Meng Huo asked with a smile. Not to mention the huge elephant, the bull-burning tiger-and-leopard brought by King Mulu this time was shocking.

"That is, when you fight against the Han army in the future, you just need to release these beasts and you can easily tear the Han army formation. The king doesn't have to worry about this." King Mulu smiled proudly.

"I hope so." Meng Huo nodded with a smile, not saying what he was thinking. He was a little scared of Liu Yi now. Even if he felt that the beast army of Mulu was indeed powerful, he didn't think that he could completely defeat Liu Yi with this, but it would be better to be able to win for a while first.

"I wonder when the king is going to send troops?" King Mulu looked at Meng Huo and asked.

"Wait for three more days, after I have raised the food and grass, we will send troops to regain the silver pit in one fell swoop!" Meng Huo said in a stern manner. He wanted to wait for the thirty thousand vine armored soldiers of the Ugo Kingdom to help, Meng Huo could not think of any reason for losing in this battle.

"Okay, my soldiers are tired all the way, and we should take a break." King Mulu nodded, and had no objection to Meng Huo's decision.

At that moment, Meng Huo sent a letter of war to Liu Yi and sent someone to look for it in the direction of the Ugo Kingdom. If he encountered Na Tubo, he would invite him to come and help as soon as possible.

...

On the other hand, Liu Yi frowned when he received Meng Huo's letter of war.

"How to choose this time?" Liu Yi threw Meng Huo's war letter on the table. Now most of the manpower is building a new city. If the war is opened, he has to let go of the progress of the construction of the new city and serve the war. This is not as simple as one or two months. It is already late autumn and winter is about to enter. If the war takes too long, when the war is over, it will be the spring plowing season. There will be a large number of vacancies in manpower. At that time, it is possible to directly let the army build the city.

"Meng Huo was dormant for several months. Now he thought he had accumulated enough troops to be ready to fight our army." Ma Su picked up the bamboo slips and looked at it, and smiled and said, "According to the detailed information of our army, the master of the Bana Cave has led his army to join Meng Huo. Now the opponent's troops are less than 50,000, or even more. It's no wonder Meng Huo wants to fight at this time."

"Fifty thousand~" Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Well, I will fight with him in the end and order everyone to stop work. Within today, a track needs to be laid out to transport food and grass. We will lead the army to the camp first, so don't let the war affect this place."

After all, this area has been built by Liu Yi, and he doesn't want to be destroyed by Meng Huo before it is completed.
Chapter completed!
