Chapter 247 Silver Appears

The people from Honglu Temple have arrived.

Li Qi turned to look at Dapeng, who was only one person tall: "Senior, let's say goodbye here. You can go back and report to the teacher."

Dapeng seemed to feel very uncomfortable staying in Tang State, so he nodded immediately: "Take care, young master. By the way, take this thing, it was left for you by Dazhu."

As she said that, she waved her wings and walked back to the parking space.

Li Qi took the things given by the other party.

A piece of... amulet? Made of bamboo?

It should be some kind of magic weapon, keep it first.

Looking up again, Dapeng went far away.

She didn't even dare to take off from the spot, but had to return to the original position to take off, and then leave here along the flying path.

Thinking about it carefully, she didn't go to Tianwaitian all the way, probably because she was afraid of being discovered.

She quickly left Li Qi's sight and went back to report.

The world cannot be explored at will, but Tianwaitian is likely to be noticed by Zhizhu.

After watching her leave, Li Qi also came forward, without bowing his hands, and walked straight forward.

There was no other way, holding the balled rabbit.

He looked at the two officials in front of him.

The Lingcheng of the Honglu Temple, from the eighth rank

The frequent visitor of the Honglu Temple, the ninth rank.

Hmm... it's really a rather shabby welcoming team.

But it's also normal.

It's not the Grand Blessing who came in person, so there's no need to make a big fuss.

It's nothing for an eighth rank official to come to greet him, and his main purpose is to keep the Chenji Jindan method in his mind in the Tang Dynasty.

After Li Qi walked out, holding the rabbit, he said: "Thank you for coming to greet us, please lead the way."

"Please come this way, sir. We have prepared the carriages and horses, and we can set off as soon as you arrive." The Lingcheng named Chen Wei was neither humble nor arrogant, with a businesslike expression on his face.

But on the other side, the frequent visitor named Fang Yuanzheng was all smiles: "Young Master, come with me. We will take a look at the scenery of Chang'an and talk about the itinerary later."

Li Qi nodded and followed the group forward.

After walking two steps, about a mile, Li Qi got on the vehicle of the Honglu Temple.

This seemed to be a public vehicle, occupying a large area, and was pulled by a mount, using two wild beasts that Li Qi could not recognize, looking extremely ferocious and domineering.

The vehicle was three feet high and four feet long and wide, like a small house.

The vehicle had four colors, and the decoration was not gorgeous, but it did not look simple, with a kind of ancient atmosphere.

After getting on the vehicle, the other ordinary employees of the Honglu Temple drove and drove, and were busy, leaving only Li Qi, Chen Wei and Fang Yuanzheng sitting in the largest room in the carriage.

Yes, this carriage actually has different sizes, with three rooms, one large and two small. The small room at the back should be used for logistics and defense, not for carrying passengers.

The people from the Honglu Temple each had their own duties, and only the two leaders sat with Li Qi.

Fang Yuanzheng seemed to be in charge of the conversation. As soon as he sat down, he took out a small square plate, similar to a token: "Is it my first time to come to the Central Plains?"

Li Qi put Shen Shuibi on his knees, blocked the rabbit with the table, and nodded: "Yes, it's my first time."

"My Central Plains is as prosperous as brocade, you must have a good look. By the way, did you buy a terminal before you came?" Fang Yuanzheng asked again.

"Terminal? No, what is it?" Li Qi had never heard of this thing, and it was not mentioned in the book, so he asked.

"If not, then we will give you one, you will know what this thing is after you try it once. In the current Central Plains, it is difficult to move without a terminal." Fang Yuanzheng smiled, and then handed the token-like thing to Li Qi.

When Li Qi took it, he felt that this thing was trying to transmit a "book spirit" to him.

Book spirit can carry information, and the amount is not small.

Li Qi curiously accepted these books, thinking they were instructions.

But he was wrong...

The moment he chose to accept, he felt that he had some kind of "authority".

The world in front of him has changed... No, it's not changed, but Li Qi can see these things.

Ordinary users may not be able to see them, they can only see the appearance.

But through the true knowledge of rhyme, Li Qi saw that this terminal is connected to a road.

The great road that runs through the whole world!

Countless magic weapons and these terminals are connected as one through that road.

The magic weapons around, including the floor tiles, walls, and some functions on this car, all present a visual operation screen, which only requires the mind to choose.

With this authority, he can call a vehicle to pick him up, turn on and off the faucet, heat the bath water, etc.

It's like a smart home, but... it has been expanded to the whole society.

All public facilities in Chang'an can be called!

Are there any vacancies in the public toilet, should the bus stop here, where to send mail, covering medical care, culture and entertainment, transportation, as long as you need it, you can operate these public magic weapons through this terminal.

Moreover, there is information, not only can you publish information yourself to communicate with others.

This... is a super enhanced version of the Internet?

Internet? No, it is the Internet of Things formed by relying on that avenue without delay and signal loss!

All terminals and magic weapons are connected to that avenue.

And that avenue can even travel through space and reach other worlds.

Through this terminal, he can directly read countless information on it, such as a piece of today's news that just popped up.

A writer's book is very successful.

A new discovery of a great man of reason and Tao has made great achievements and will be put into use soon.

A wise man proposed a solution to the problem of redundant funds. If applied to practice, it can greatly improve efficiency.

There are also news about good plays, famous performers, and concerts of famous actors and singers.

News about major movements that are being promoted comprehensively.

New types of equipment, and news of successive victories in the East China Sea battlefield.

Even Li Qi saw himself, in the terminal's push news, there was a notice that the son of Wushen Mountain was about to come to Chang'an to study abroad, and there were some people leaving messages below, but not many.

All of them are directly pushed to the terminal and can be read anytime and anywhere.

An information collection terminal.

In addition to these information collection functions, through this, individuals can directly apply for the use of certain social resources by paying certain prices.

From basic takeout, to commercial financial services, reporting emergency repairs, etc., different people will receive different tasks, and will also be called by others according to their professions.

Everyone has become a part of the operation of the huge machine of the Tang State.

This is an ultimate and complete Internet of Things, monitoring countless places, but also providing convenience for everyone.

Give up some freedom and then get the ultimate convenience.

Through this terminal, he can even see that this avenue has given some special permissions to the two Honglu Temple officials in front of him, allowing them to directly call on some of the power of this avenue.

Li Qi now knows.

This is the essence of the "official position".

This avenue absorbs the power of all humanity... No, it is even possible that it is humanity itself!

In the area it covers, all the existences that voluntarily access it have their power integrated and sorted, and then distributed and used.

This is a road that runs through countless worlds and also gathers the power of countless worlds.

Even, Li Qi felt...

When he used the terminal to access this avenue, he was also integrated.

It is not forced, but if you want to use the function of this avenue, it will inevitably provide him with his own power.

You need to pay a price to order others to deliver food or use public magic weapons.

Li Qi is an outsider, but he still needs to pay a price, which seems to be some kind of currency.

And this currency needs to be completed for others

There is no middleman, no boss or anything else to squeeze in the middle, it is just an exchange of labor.

I provide services to others, such as selling my own pills, or helping others to refine equipment, etc., and I can accumulate some currency for myself within this rule.

Through this currency, I can pay it out and let others serve me.

Through the true knowing rhyme, Li Qi can perceive...

So people who use this terminal, while asking others to serve themselves, they also have to provide services to others.

Everyone for me, I for everyone?

Under the regulation of that avenue, it seems that this has really been achieved.

There is no redundant communication in the middle, which greatly reduces the communication cost in the middle. No one will charge "management costs" and will not generate "profits".

As if seeing Li Qi's surprised expression, Fang Yuanzheng immediately explained: "I have heard that you are well-educated, so I think you already understand the function of this thing."

"Everyone in the Tang Kingdom has this terminal. It was made by Master Moton, a great master of the Li Dao in the past. It is based on the dragon vein of our Tang Kingdom and forms a channel that runs through the heavens and all worlds. It communicates with each other and cooperates with each other under the rules. It is formed with the help of the information processing mechanism of the Taoist Qimen Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams. Your Majesty calls it a wonder of the world and personally named it "The Cardinal of All Worlds." Fang Yuanzheng explained the origin of this thing to Li Qi.

Dragon vein?

In other words... the avenue that runs through the world seen through the true knowledge rhyme is not the human way itself, but just the dragon vein of the Tang Kingdom?

Wait, didn't the dragon vein of the Tang Kingdom explode?

Even Li Qi has heard that the rebellion in the Tang Kingdom in the past directly led to the previous emperor's self-destruction of the dragon vein and a desperate attempt to turn the tables.

It's only been a short time, and it has been rebuilt?

While Li Qi was surprised, he also controlled the terminal and tried to output some information into it.

For example, he wanted to see what records he had on it.

But just after searching, a message popped up.

‘The medical appointment made by user ‘Li Qi (Jiaxu Qianyi Ling Si Liu Shi Qi Qi Er Wu)’ has been registered for his wife ‘Shen Shui Bi’ (Yishen Zhen Si Yi Si Qi Wu Shi Qi Liu Ling). The Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple has specially approved free medical treatment. Please submit the application after preparation. The corresponding clinic will be arranged later. Click below to apply. If you cannot go after applying for some reason, you must pay a 10% penalty, a total of 4 million taels of silver, plus an eighth-grade A-level world. ’

Silver!

Li Qi was shocked.

He was not surprised that Shen Shui Bi’s registration was successful. After all, he knew this a long time ago. He had to argue with the Honglu Temple for a lot of things before he got it.

What really surprised him was silver!

In the entire Wushen Mountain area, including the Baiyue area, the thing called ‘silver’ has never been seen. Silver does not exist in the monetary system at all.

I never thought that I would see silver in the Tang Kingdom, and that they actually used silver as currency.

In other words, the ‘currency’ that I had guessed before was actually silver.

The Tang Kingdom was using silver as currency?

Why? Is there any deep meaning?

Li Qi was full of doubts when he first arrived.

Fang Yuan was still chattering in his ear about the wonderfulness of the ‘Cardinal of All Realms’.

Li Qi couldn't listen any more, so he interrupted the other party and asked, "Fang Changke, may I ask about this silver?"

Fang Yuanzheng was not annoyed when he was interrupted, but smiled and said, "Ah, young master is still young, I'm afraid you have never seen this thing?"

"This silver, like gold, copper, iron and tin, is a gold-related thing in the world. It used to be called the five metals, but now only the Central Plains has it in the whole world, because there is a great man in the Central Plains, whose name is 'Mr. Qian'."

Fang Yuanzheng introduced: "Mr. Qian is good at managing finances, can handle all kinds of affairs every day, and is good at circulation. He wrote to Your Majesty and united the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance to collect silver from all over the world and use it as currency, and restrict transactions with the Central Plains to use silver. In the end, he became a Taoist with this, and collected silver from all over the world as the foundation of his Taoism. He is currently the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and holds the fourth rank."

"Now, silver is used as currency, copper coins are used as auxiliary, and the world is used as a large-value bill. It has become one of the rules." Fang Yuanzheng said to Li Qi with a smile.

But Li Qi couldn't laugh.

He immediately realized what it was.

US dollars... No, silver hegemony! ?

Four million taels of silver is a ten percent penalty, which means the total cost of treatment is no more than 40 million.

40 million can be exchanged for Tang's specialized humane medical monks to treat the fatal injuries of the fifth grade.

Silver is a mortal thing.

By using silver as the base currency for the exchange of Tang's productivity, it is easy to promote silver to the heavens and the worlds, and even to the world.

In this way, as long as Tang controls the silver coinage, it can levy taxes on the heavens and the worlds and even the whole world, and at the same time establish silver hegemony, using silver, which is completely a mortal thing, to easily harvest a large amount of resources from the heavens and the worlds.

Just think about how outrageous it is.

Wushen Mountain gave Yang Ning a sixth-grade sun for treatment!

To treat Shen Shuibi, it only costs 40 million taels of silver plus ten eighth-grade worlds.

That is to say, under the value system of Silver Hegemony, 40 million taels of silver plus a few eighth-grade worlds can buy a sun of at least the sixth grade, or even more expensive, because Shen Shuibi's injury is more serious than Yang Ning's.

The previous "Cardinal of All Realms" who benefited the people was humane.

The current Silver Hegemony is also humane.

Li Qi continued to listen to the Honglu Temple officials talking to him.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can reveal a glimpse of the leopard.

Li Qi continued to listen to the descriptions of the two officials, and then gradually outlined a three-dimensional, real Tang Kingdom in his mind.
