Pioneering

Chapter 144 A Very Ridiculous Chapter

Mo Lisa and Zhong Ming, who are in the kitchen, watched the backflip performance of the female cat Celica with great interest.

This Puss in Boots, after Zhong Ming released her, found that she had nothing to do, very empty and boring.

Restricted by oaths and contracts in the past, she had to work as a nanny for the Youde family.

Now that he has suddenly gained freedom, he has no place to go for a while, so he just depends on Zhong Ming's place to eat and drink.

Kesha Lina also likes this beautiful little female cat very much. Zhong Ming sees that it is not aggressive, so she raises it like a pet.

And this cat was independent beyond Zhong Ming's expectations, and offered to be unwilling to eat and drink for free, and wanted to learn how to cook and earn money by himself!

What was even more unexpected was that its cooking skills were not bad, and it knew all the daily dessert dishes by heart, and it also learned the Chinese dishes taught by Zhong Ming very quickly.

With the improvement of cooking skills, it also took the initiative to ask for a salary increase!He was still talking about making money to buy himself a house, a big villa...

This money-loving cat is not like a monster, but more like a person with high living needs.

As for Zhong Ming's request to make it do a backflip, it originally refused, with just words.However, he soon fell under Zhong Ming's "money-adding offensive".

"Eighty, eighty..." Celica rolled somersaults out of breath, lying on the ground and said, "Meow, boss, do you still want to watch? If you still want to watch, I'll give you a performance after a break."

After turning over ten gold coins, eight hundred gold coins were spent.Picking up girls, especially rich loli, really costs money!

"Wow, what a cute cat." Morisa looked at Celica who had collapsed on the ground, and couldn't help stroking her.

Seeing that this was not within the scope of the service, Celica was about to get out of the way immediately.But at this time it saw Zhong Ming again.
He coughed a few times, and stretched out five fingers while coughing.

"Add five hundred gold coins." Zhong Ming gestured.

"Add five thousand gold coins!" Celica realized.

High-profile customers, rare high-profile customers in a century, whether they can buy a house, land, or carriage depends on this wave.Celica thought to herself.

Not only did Celica not avoid Morisa's touch, she even turned over to reveal her belly in cooperation, showing off her figure in an extremely enchanting manner.

With eating, chatting and teasing cats all over the world, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

……

No matter how joyful the banquet was, it finally came to an end. Luxurious carriages with family crests left the palace one after another, and settled in the consulate where the envoys were received.

And the salty-sweet dispute between Busta and Dick still didn't come to a conclusion.

After politely sending Princess Morisa away, Zhong Ming also came to the study, ready to deal with the documents submitted by the envoys.The core team under him has also arrived.

The good news for this ceremony is that almost all the human kingdoms in the Northern Continent have sent envoys, which can be regarded as acknowledging the legitimacy of Zhong Ming's kingship;
The bad news is that Winklell, the only kingdom-level country in the Northern Continent, has not sent envoys, nor has it announced the recognition of Zhong Ming's right to rule over the land of Yasha.

As the headquarters of the Sea God Church, it can even be regarded as the existence of the Papal State, and it is normal not to admit it.

But this is nothing, the worse news is yet to come!
"Great master, this is the latest price statistics in Chang'an City. The prices of flour, salt, and firewood have generally dropped by more than half. This is all thanks to you! Your benevolent act of reducing taxes for the whole country for one year is simply... ..." Lei Wen handed Zhong Ming a form, bragging about his master's great achievements.

This kind of table statistics and mathematical operation knowledge was also copied and pasted by Zhong Ming to them.

Zhong Ming waved his hand to signal him not to continue blowing, frowned slightly, and said, "Did prices fall so fast?"

"Uh," Lei Wen looked at Zhong Ming's face, and asked cautiously, "Master, isn't falling prices a good thing?"

Zhong Ming pinched his brows, not knowing how to explain the principles of currency and economics to them.

"In a sense, it's not a good thing," Zhong Ming said after thinking for a moment, "Have you noticed that with the falling prices, there are more barter transactions in the city?"

"There is such a thing." Ryan interjected, "When I was throwing money today, those people robbed the money so much that their eyes were red. If I didn't bring enough guards, hey——"

Ryan shivered, and continued: "After I inquired, there was a lot less money in the market for some reason. To buy some flour, one had to carry a hen to exchange it, and to buy some clothes, one had to carry food. Even the clients in brothels They all took furs and silks to..."

"Huh?" Ryan looked at the weird eyes of everyone, and explained again and again, "No, I didn't go, I just asked..."

"Okay, okay, I believe you, we all believe that you are not that kind of person." Zhong Ming stretched out his hand and said softly.

Zhong Ming tapped the table with his right hand alternately, and asked everyone while thinking: "Does anyone have an idea to solve this situation? Think hard and talk about it. It's okay to say something wrong, but it doesn't matter."

In fact, before Zhong Ming was worried that his magical skills, turning stones into silver/gold would cause uncontrollable inflation, and thought about whether to lower the reward ratio of faith and gift points, but this situation was far beyond his expected range.

It even forced him to use the reason of his own coronation to scatter currency worth more than 100 million gold coins, spreading all over the cities in the central province.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal for this to happen.If you analyze it carefully, the reason is actually very simple:
Originally, the total amount of taxes received by the royal family of the Duke of Ige was about 300 million gold coins a year, which was barely enough to meet the expenses of the direct army and maintain a decent life for the royal family.In addition, there are various mineral resources and international trade, and nearly 200 million gold coins can be recorded in the account a year.

Zhong Ming got rid of the middleman, and without the middleman to make the difference, the annual tax can theoretically reach 600 million gold coins, and with other income, there can be nearly 800 million gold coins.

It is a good thing that there is no middleman to make the difference, but in a sense it also brings some negative effects.

A large part of the income that the nobles get every year will flow into the market. Even if it is mainly circulated between nobles and wealthy merchants, it will also drive consumption in the downstream market.

And the sudden disappearance of currencies in the actual market may be more than that.

Zhong Minglei's means of erasing the Yige nobles and the church, not counting other harvests such as extraordinary medicinal materials, extraordinary metals, magic stones, magic crystals, and more than 7000 million gold coins alone.Theoretically, two-thirds of these more than 7000 million gold coins should be circulating in the market!

Originally, no matter how small the commercial share was, there were hundreds of thousands of nobles and priests supporting the commercial market, and the amount of currency circulating in the market was far more than it is now.

Now that the aristocrats are cold, no matter how extravagant Zhong Ming is, no matter how much he consumes, he cannot match the spending power of so many people.

The money in the market has suddenly decreased so much that it is quite normal to cause deflation.

To put it simply, it is that Yaxia's wealth is concentrated too much now!The wealth owned by Zhong Ming alone occupies more than 90% of the territory of more than [-] square kilometers!

If there are scientists from the Blue Star Society to count the Gini index of the Principality of Yaxia now, it will definitely make him doubt his life-hell, there is no public uprising in this index?
