In addition to casting weapons, Shangfang also has an important function - casting money, the world's coins. Three-thirds of them come from here. After the imperial court took back the 'minting rights', Shangfang was the only place to mint coins. In order to solve the 'money shortage' question, here is the key to getting started!
The mint area is heavily guarded. There are three checkpoints inside and outside. Searches are carried out at all levels. Even an embroidery needle cannot be taken out. Dozens of mint furnaces are working at the same time. Copper water is splashing and smoke is lingering. The scene is very spectacular, especially for the craftsmen. , working naked without any clothes. This is also a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. In the important place of minting, you enter and leave naked, and you do not take away a single copper coin, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!
"Please, Prime Minister, inspect the new coins!" The mint official was holding a tray, which contained the newly minted coins. They were neatly stacked one by one and had a bright luster!
"It feels good, has texture, clear text, and is exquisitely made. They are all high-quality copper coins!" Cao Cao took a few coins. After examining them carefully, he nodded frequently. Shangfang's craftsmanship was the best in the world, and several counselors also praised it. Without further ado, the unified minting of coins can begin to be implemented!
After they were happy, everyone frowned again. The better the coins, the rarer they are in circulation on the market. It won't take long for them to be hidden. Human nature is like this. Spend bad money, keep good money, and then destroy it. Money is used to obtain copper and cast utensils, but in the end the common people still have no money to use, and the money shortage continues!
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I have a way to control the matter of 'destroying money to get copper'!" At the critical moment, the world's geniuses took action!
"Feng Xiao, let me tell you quickly. As long as the money shortage can be controlled, I will obey you!" Cao Cao looked happy. The superiors all understand the truth. Spears and fast horses can conquer cities, but they cannot conquer people's hearts. If you want peace in the world, civilized governance Martial arts is indispensable!
"When the emperor came to court, he issued a decree to change the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an. If the emperor's reign name is engraved on the coins, who dares to destroy them at will!" Guo Jia picked up a few copper coins and looked at them repeatedly in his hand, revealing a Such a cunning look!
"It's wonderful to have the word 'Jian'an' engraved on the coins, how wonderful it is!"
"Following filial piety is worthy of the world's geniuses. If it is so intimidating, those nobles should be wary of it!"
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
After listening to Guo Jia's method, everyone applauded and praised it. Just engraving two more words on the coins can have a big effect. The reason is also very simple. Those who ruined the money and obtained the copper were all members of the noble family. These people were powerful and intricately connected. , even if we use laws to impose restrictions, I'm afraid some people will take risks!
In the final analysis, destroying money to get copper is dealing with one's own property. If you don't steal or rob, it is difficult for national laws to interfere. However, the meaning of engraving the emperor's reign on copper coins is very different, even though it is just two words. , to a certain extent, it represents the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Destroying coins is disrespectful to the emperor. In the feudal dynasty, the crime of disrespect can punish the nine tribes!
Thinking further, this is also a means to ease conflicts. The imperial palace and the prime minister's office have fought against each other several times in order to compete for the highest power. Although Cao Cao suppressed the little emperor with his superb political wisdom, he also provoked There has been a lot of criticism, and at least the reputation of a 'powerful minister' cannot escape. Now the emperor's reign name is engraved on the coins, which can also be regarded as giving the little emperor some face, signaling that he is finally a man, and will help ease the conflicts between the two parties!
"This is a very good idea of ??filial piety. I should follow it and pass on the order. From now on, new coins will be minted, and they will all be engraved with the emperor's reign. It not only shows nobility, but also promotes the prestige of our country!" Cao Cao has always valued real power and despised false reputation. As long as he has It is conducive to rule, and he does not care about giving the little emperor some face!
"Promise! ~ The Prime Minister is loyal to the country and respected by the world!" Everyone immediately bowed and saluted. This matter is indeed good governance, conducive to the stable development of the country, and can alleviate the conflicts between the palace and the prime minister's office. It kills two birds with one stone!
Then again, unifying the minting rights of the country, adding year numbers on coins, and gradually replacing old coins with new coins are all good ways to govern the country, but they also have a weakness, that is, they are time-consuming. The results are slow, and the money shortage is getting worse. If we want to stabilize the overall situation, there must be a quick solution, so that the noble clans can take out the stored coins and restore market circulation!
After a few turns, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Yi again. They all knew that the Prime Minister was a man of letters and martial arts, a right-hand man. The two people's strategies always complemented each other, and their strength and softness complemented each other. Now that Guo Jia's method has come out, according to the rules, Xiao Yi must also have one. This method can solve the urgent need!
There are two most difficult things in the world. One is to put your thoughts into other people's heads, and the other is to put other people's money into your own pockets. If you want those nobles to take out the coins stored in their homes,How easy is it to put it into circulation on the market?
Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, Xiao Yi touched his little black face and tried his best to recall his life in college. If he remembered correctly and was not sleepwalking, he occasionally listened to some financial courses while sleeping in
If you want to play well in finance, you must learn to think from other people's perspective. Ten copper coins fell into Xun Yu's hands. He represented the noble family and had a lot of money. Xiao Yi played the role of the empty-handed white wolf and wanted to get the money into his own hands. People, others are just spectators, and they can learn the spirit from it!
"Mr. Wen Ruo, if I were to rob you by force, how would you react?" Xiao Yi patted the saber on his waist. We don't have money, but we have force!
"I would rather give up my life than my wealth. We will take our heads, but money will not do!"
"What if I want to borrow money? The court will guarantee it, and the interest will be tripled every year. The risk is very small. How much are you willing to borrow, sir?" Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, and he returned to the demeanor of a profiteer. Even a pile of sand would be squeezed out. Give me two ounces of sesame oil!
"Three times the interest? And with the guarantee of the imperial court, I am willing to pay 20% of the money!" After Xun Yu thought about it for a while, he lost two copper coins in his hand. There were many ways for the nobles to make money. Although the triple profit was tempting, But not too adventurous!
"Okay, ten times the interest, the risk is slightly higher, how much can you borrow, sir?"
"Ten times interest, even though there are risks, it's worth a try!" Xun Yu had three less copper coins in his hand, and half of his family property was sold!
"Very good, a hundred times the interest, even if we win or lose, how much are you willing to pay sir?" There is a kind of magic in Xiao Yi's voice, as if it can drag people into the bottomless abyss!
"People die for money and birds die for food. If there is a hundred times the interest, let alone half success or failure, even if there is only a 10% certainty, I am still willing to give it a try, even if I risk beheading, I will not hesitate!"
Xun Yu was very straightforward and handed over all the copper coins in his hand. Not only that, but also the jade pendant, seal, money bag, robe he put them all into Xiao Yi's hands, and then looked at him directly. !
The gentry can be said to be the most greedy class. They talk about benevolence and morality, but they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. In order to make enough profits, they can't sell anything. Their reputation, body, monarch, and country. As long as you have money, you can buy their bones!
Well, the money is in Xiao Yi's hands, the money shortage problem is solved, and he is sitting on the crater. He can borrow the money because he promised a hundred times the interest. What if he can't do it, haha, People are penniless now, and those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If they don't pay back the money, they will fight you tooth and nail. Even if it's less, a hundred times is a hundred times. If they lack a penny, they will still fight you tooth and nail!
Everyone knows how powerful the noble family is. The first two of the three pillars of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs, relatives, and nobles, have perished together. In the current situation, the noble family is the dominant family. If they really fight hard, even if they are as strong as Cao Cao, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t stand it!
The people present were all smart people, and they probably understood Xiao Yi's idea. They borrowed the money from the noble clans and used it to make profits of more than a hundred times. This would solve all the problems, but what kind of business can make a hundred times profit? ?
As we all know, farmers can earn double the profit by growing grains, merchants can earn five times the profit by selling silk, linen and cloth, and smugglers can earn ten times the profit by selling horses and weapons. This is already top-notch. Industry, is there anything more profitable than smuggling?
"Haha, I have a business. As long as it is run properly, it is easy to make a hundredfold profit. However, it requires a little chance!" Facing the doubtful looks of everyone, Xiao Yi smiled but did not answer. When the business is done, it will be more than a hundredfold. , it¡¯s simply a huge profit!
Just when everyone was secretly guessing about Xiao Yi's exclusive business, a soldier rushed in and knelt down on one knee to salute ~ "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the three young masters have led troops to surround Shelu Mountain and blocked all intersections. Those who have wings cannot escape!"
"Well done, pass on the order - take action!" Cao Cao's spirit was lifted, he looked at the mountains in the distance and sneered, "It's time to give the noble clan a slap in the face and let them know how powerful Cao Aha is!"
