    "In the history of the Chinese nation, there has always been a lack of currency for circulation. It was especially serious during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Because the insufficient quantity of currency hindered commercial activities and material circulation, it was extremely detrimental to the development of the country. The reasons for the shortage of currency were natural disasters and man-made disasters!

    Natural Disaster: China's main gold and silver deposits are located in the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest, the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, and the Hengduan Mountains in the southwest. During the Han Dynasty, they were not included in the national territory or could not be developed!

    The lack of gold and silver, the two precious metals, forced Chinese people to resort to copper as the main currency (Daye and Huangshi in Jingzhou, Kuaiji and Danyang in Yangzhou, and Shu County in Yizhou all have large copper mines.)

    Man-made disaster: Due to low production technology, fewer copper mines were mined during the Han Dynasty. Most of them were used to cast ritual vessels, musical instruments, furniture, and tableware, and very few were used to cast currency!

    Chinese people also have the "bad habit" of saving money. They always hide the gold, silver, and copper coins they get in walls or bury them deep underground to prepare for future generations' emergencies and to use them as currency for circulation.  The quantity is even less!

    As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, some smart ministers proposed to use metal currency to replace grain and distribute salaries to officials at all levels to reduce consumption during transportation. However, after trying it for a while, they had no choice but to give up and continue to distribute it.  Lumi!

    Because the currency was in the hands of the ministers, they recruited craftsmen and set up private workshops. They either melted it into gold bricks and silver ingots and stored them, or they recast them into exquisite vessels and sold them abroad to make huge profits. Less and less money was used for circulation, so that the people could only  There is no money for bartering and rewarding soldiers.

    For example, Cao Ying has regulations that if a soldier captures a head, he can be rewarded with five taels of gold. However, there is no gold in the treasury, and even copper coins are not enough. They can only be given physical items equivalent to five taels of gold, such as food, silk, land, etc.

    Using grain to distribute salaries, although it consumes a lot of money in the process, can delay the loss of metal currency and allow the people to have money to use. This is also a helpless move. After all, when officials receive grain, they can't bury it deep underground, right?

    "Da Sima replaced Lumi with currency, which reduced the consumption of transportation during the journey. It is certainly beneficial to the country and the people, but when the currency is in the hands of the powerful, it is like entering the mouth of Pixiu. I am afraid it will be difficult to get out!

    "Once a large-scale money shortage occurs due to lack of currency, the harm will be ten times greater than civil unrest. I am afraid that the society will be turbulent and the world will be in chaos. Not to mention that the officials are greedy. If they change it again, they will cause public outrage!"  "

    As an internal affairs official, Chen Qun is very aware of the dangers of "money shortage". It is worse than wars, floods, plagues, droughts people in the world may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid of not having money to spend!

    Moreover, the use of currency to distribute salary makes officials of all sizes very happy. Once the salary is distributed again due to lack of currency, endless anger will burst out due to the huge psychological gap. The entire bureaucracy will become angry, and Cao Cao and Xiao Yi may not be able to bear it.  live?

    "Haha, Chang Wen is thoughtful and skilled in government affairs. If he can open up his mind and make friends with talented people, his future will be limitless!"

    "Don't worry too much about the rich and powerful destroying money. I have already made a plan. Whoever destroys more money will cry more miserably in the future!"

    Xiao Yi has a long-term vision, always taking one step and looking at ten steps. Since he dares to use money to earn salary, he naturally has a way to deal with the 'money shortage':

    First of all: more than half of the twenty-eight large-scale mines contain precious metals of gold, silver, and copper. Hundreds of wealthy merchants have joined forces to mine them. The output must be astonishing. They can be used to mint new currencies to make up for the lack of circulation.

    Secondly, the power of Buddhism has expanded viciously. At the same time, it has amassed a large amount of wealth. At the same time, it has continued to destroy metal coins and used them to cast golden Buddhas, silver niches, bronze bells, and copper coins. There are more than a hundred temples in and around Xuchang City alone. How many should be stored?  What about wealth?

    He is about to take action to destroy the Buddha, and there must be a lot of resistance in the middle. Now using currency to distribute salary is equivalent to winning over the hearts of the officials. For the sake of their own pockets, they have to fully support themselves and destroy the Buddha statues to mint coins, right?

    Finally, after you have suppressed Buddhism and stabilized the civil unrest in the Central Plains, it is time to deal with the powerful people. The big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp. Play financial games with yourself, and you will not be able to trick these idiots!

    The people in Taicang were too busy to think calmly, so they asked Cui Lie, Meng Jian and their students to stay and continue to pay salaries to the officials. Xiao Yi took a dozen guards and returned to Wuchou Mansion by car, ready to have a good rest.  Wait for a while, and then plan your strategy

    "I would like to send you off to Da Sima with great respect - I will never forget these words of advice!"

    Chen Qun walked all the way to the gate, looking at the awning car going away, recalling the conversation just now, his heart could not help but rise and fall

    I was born into a famous family in Yingchuan, and my ancestors were all great scholars.??.

    It is best for the Buddhist and Taoist families to fight against each other, and the court to fan the flames. Support whoever is weak, and punch whoever is strong, so that the two families can consume each other and become evenly matched. Only in this way can the imperial power be guaranteed and forever superior to the divine power.  superior!

    I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, but never felt pity for my Buddha.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    The Buddha is not greedy for money, so why should he accept worship from the world?

    The Buddha is not evil?  Why can't we tolerate the slightest disrespect from the world?

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Xiao Yi shook his head and dragged Cao Jie towards the dormitory, preparing to have a good sleep. When he wakes up, he will be full of energy and in a good mood. Maybe there is a good way If he can't be eliminated, he will be killed!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
