Chapter 223: The Artifact of Disposal

See the fastest updates

"It's not potatoes, it's souvenirs! After I took inventory last night, I found that many medicines and necessities that are extinct and rare on the earth are very common here. Of course, we can't move them for ordinary people, but we can resell some.

It is still profitable for practitioners to use it for various sects! You have also seen the situation here. For us, it is very backward. Moreover, the world of Fengdu is far away from each other, and ordinary people can only stay around this city.

Naturally, there is a lack of circulation and exchange. The things we have there will definitely become popular if you scoop them over here!"

Seeing the old uncle getting more and more excited as he talked, Pu Yang couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "Yeah, it's really rare for us to carry a TV here. If we can carry a plane here, it will even blind their eyes!"

"Well, it's meaningless what can't be used here, but some can still be circulated. For example, there are rich people in Fengdu who make some perfume and sell it to ladies, and make some fine wine and cigarettes to sell to gentlemen. This is the sole monopoly of me, the city lord.

For business, why don’t I just decide the price?" Futon said with a smile.

Pu Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Would you like to get you some bras? You can seduce rich ladies!"

"Boy! What's your attitude?" Futon slapped him on the back of the head.

Amid Qin Yao's chuckle, Pu Yang rubbed the back of his head and said seriously: "Uncle, you don't really want to do this, do you? Even if it's a rare item, it can be sold for a high price, but I can carry it all at once.

The number of *one* reading *small* said that ybdu is also limited. Even if I carry dozens of bottles of wine for you, how about hundreds of bottles of wine? Can you squeeze into the gap in the mountain wall? I have a very crazy but very

What a great idea!”

"What?"

"Issuing currency!" Pu Yang said with a smile: "This requires you to continue to consolidate your reputation. If you can win the hearts and minds of the people like you have in the past two days, you can open a Fengdu Bank, Fengdu Bank or something, and issue banknotes to everyone. With the current technology here

Conditions, we don’t need to make real banknotes, even the printing process of Ming coins cannot be counterfeited. Of course, for long-term considerations, you can still find higher-end ones. At that time, you can exchange their silver and so on, so that everyone can

It’s also convenient to use banknotes. With these silvers, you can use them to trade and buy items. With banknotes, I can carry more at one time.”

Futon looked at him and Qin Yao: "What do you think?"

Seeing the seriousness of the two of them, Qin Yao couldn't bear the blow and said with a smile: "Maybe. The craftsmanship of this banknote is not the key, the key is your credibility. Only when everyone believes in you can you exchange money for banknotes. As long as your

As long as your credibility does not collapse, you can issue banknotes as you wish."

The reality is this. In the Bretton Woods system era after World War II, the U.S. dollar, the core of the international currency, was linked to gold reserves. However, later the United States fell into the Vietnam War and a credibility crisis broke out, which led to the collapse of the system and the U.S. dollar lost its core hegemony. However,

Later, it has always been the most important currency, thanks to the country's reputation.

Although the evolution of economic and monetary aspects cannot be explained clearly in a few words, if the United States was not the only superpower and had a stable economy, or if the country was often in trouble, other countries would not use US dollars as foreign exchange reserves, and they would not be able to issue such

Multi-currency. However, with the support of national credibility, a considerable part of the inflation and other problems caused by the excessive issuance of currency have been passed on to other countries with foreign exchange reserves.

Futon didn't know that much, but thinking about it if it was just tried out in Fengdu City, it shouldn't be a big problem. As long as this currency system is running, even if he leaves one day, it can still run. Of course, if it is changed

There may be problems with the new city lord's policy changes. But as long as there is no problem of additional issuance, the most that can be done is to return to the silver standard currency system.

"Okay! Let's do it then! I'll accumulate reputation, and you can design and print a complete set of Fengdu currency."

Seeing that his uncle agreed, Pu Yang was a little sweaty: "I'll just say it casually!"

"This is nothing to say casually. Anyway, the harm done to the people of Fengdu will be blamed on you." Futon said unkindly.

Qin Yao had no choice but to comfort him: "It's okay. If you benefit the people, the merits will also be counted on you. Just think of it as risks and opportunities coexisting!"

"Also want wine and perfume, as well as all kinds of medicines. There will always be a market for these!" Futon looked like a profiteer, squinting and thinking about what else was most important.

Pu Yang whispered to Qin Yao: "If carrying is not a problem, he probably wants me to fight against a department store..."

"Don't think so hard! Can I still trick you, your uncle?" Futon glared at him, then stretched out his hand and said, "Pick up your hand!"

Pu Yang handed over the hand that was still holding the black crystal spirit stone, and Qin Yao also hurriedly put the spirit stone back. But he didn't expect that Futon was not going to scoop up the spirit stone, but the hand that had been given to him.

The skewers were picked off.

"I left this for you when I left. Have you figured out how to use it yourself?"

"Well, it's very useful." Pu Yang looked at Qin Yao and said that it was how he discovered that she was from the demon clan.

This was the last time the old uncle came to him and confessed a lot of things that night. He found this bracelet when he left the next day. When he scooped it up, he remembered many related memories. When he was young, his uncle told him

Bragging, saying that this string of beads is a treasure. Once there is evil spirit nearby, it will emit light, and this light can only be seen by him. There is also a unique Dzi bead in it, which is a rare treasure. What is its specific function?

, the old uncle lied about it at that time, saying that he would naturally know after he awakens and possesses magic power.

"You are just using the most basic function that cannot be called a function." Futon smiled and pointed at a unique one among the beads: "Do you know what this is?"

"I told you that this is a Dzi Bead, a rare treasure. I didn't tell me the specific function. I said that I would know after I awaken and have magical power." Pu Yang told the truth: "But I still don't know it until now.

I don’t know what special function it has.”

"I'll tell you now!" Futon put the string on his hand again and pointed: "Inject some spiritual power into this Dzi bead."

Pu Yang was a little puzzled, but he still did it. He had been carrying it for so long, and if it contained powerful energy, he couldn't possibly know anything about it.

Just when he tried to sense the Dzi Beads after inputting his spiritual power, he suddenly discovered that there was an extra space in front of him. Although it was not particularly big, it was still a very clear space that seemed both virtual and very real.

He shook his head violently, "This, this is...how could I see..."

"A space, right?" Futon said with a smile: "This Dzi Bead has a name, it's called Xumi Mustard Seed!"

Sumeru is contained in mustard seeds. "Xumi" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, also called "Mandala". It is a famous mountain in ancient Indian mythology. Mount Sumeru is of great significance in Buddhism. It is the king of mountains and the center of the world. It is often used as

The metaphor is extremely huge. And "mustard seeds" are the seeds of mustard and are often used to describe extremely small ones. "Vimalakirti Sutra" says: "If the Bodhisattva lives as a liberated person, with the height and breadth of Sumeru, there will be nothing in the mustard seeds."

"Increase or decrease." It means that if the Bodhisattva's abode is liberation, the huge height and breadth of Mount Sumeru will not increase or decrease even if it is placed in a small rapeseed.

Bai Juyi once asked a monk: Sumeru is as big as it is high, and a mustard seed is as tiny as a tiny one. How can one enter Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed?

There is another story that Li Bo, the governor of Jiangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, once asked Zen Master Zhichang: "The Buddhist scriptures say 'Sumi hides mustard seeds, and mustard seeds contain Sumeru'. I think it is too mysterious and bizarre. Small mustard seeds

, how can it accommodate such a large Mount Sumeru? This is really out of common sense, is it a lie?"

After listening to Li Bo's words, Zen Master Zhichang smiled softly and turned to ask: "People say that you have 'read more than ten thousand volumes'. Is this really true?"

"Of course! Of course! I've read more than ten thousand volumes?" Li Bo looked proud.

"So where are the thousands of books you have read now stored?" Zen Master Zhichang asked Li Bo following the topic.

Li Bo raised his finger and pointed at his head and said: "Of course they are all kept here."

Zen Master Zhichang said: "It's strange. I think your head is only as big as a coconut. How can it possibly hold ten thousand volumes of books? Are you also lying?"

After Li Bo heard this, he immediately realized and became enlightened.

All Zen principles are sometimes explained in terms of practice, and sometimes explained in terms of principles. Therefore, we must know that in the universe, there are reasons for everything, and there are things within principles. It is a fact that Xumi hides mustard seeds, and that mustard seeds accept Sumeru is a Zen principle. If you can understand that there is nothing in the world.

Obstacles, then this is the ability to understand Zen principles with ease.

"I've heard the saying that Sumeru is like mustard seeds, but this should be a Zen principle, a metaphor, right? Can such a thing really exist?!" Pu Yang was horrified.

Futon was satisfied with his expression: "What is a truth and what is a metaphor? When you want to explain a truth to people who can't understand, you must use metaphors. Zhuangzi said that there is a huge fish in the North Sea called Kun, which can turn into a peng.

It is an extremely huge bird that can fly up to tens of thousands of miles in the sky. This is also a metaphor. It is thousands of miles huge, and tens of thousands of miles in the sky is even more exaggerated. But if modern people who have watched science fiction movies see it, they will not understand it.

Does it feel familiar? Does it look like a spaceship that can park on the sea and stir up water waves to fly away quickly? Perhaps Zhuangzi saw an alien spacecraft or airplane at that time, but he could not understand it in his time, so he wrote it down

Others couldn't understand it, so they used exaggeration and metaphor to turn it into a fable."

This... Puyang is a little sweaty, the old uncle's thinking is always so unique, even a young man like him can't compare.

"The mustard seeds filling Mount Sumeru is naturally a metaphor. But such a miniature space does exist. This Dzi bead has the magical effect of containing Sumeru in the mustard seeds. This is what I want to say, and only you have the magic power

It can only be turned on."

Futon, who pretended to be a wise speaker, immediately switched to the "profiteer mode": "So, with this thing, can't we resell a large amount of goods across the world?"

Not to mention, with this thing, Pu Yang's heart is also warmed up. Not to mention other rare and necessary items, medicines, even gold or silver that can fill the entire mustard space, this is also what needs to be distributed! This mustard

Miyako's dzi bead is simply an artifact for selling goods. If you can't survive in the future, you can still use it for transportation!
