In the final analysis, what is needed to fight a war is food, grass and weapons, and a single piece of silver for one person cannot feed the soldiers. But money can buy food and grass, and more people can be hired to make weapons as quickly as possible.

Ah Li not only discovered gold and silver mines, but she also discovered iron ores that were more loosely regulated abroad, in fact, they were involved in various heavy metal deposits. First use the domestic emergency, and soon after, when the foreign minerals are transported, the domestic ones can be stored for future generations.

Historically, emperors who had no money but needed to wage war could actually think of many ways to do this. For example, leviing taxes and grain on the people without compensation, and increasing forced labor (unpaid labor).

However, this situation often only forced more people to turn to the rebels at the end of the road, and the already poor domestic situation fell into an endless vicious circle, leading to the final collapse of the entire empire. Many dynasties faced a similar situation in the last years, the emperor could only rely on squeezing the people to solve the rebellion, but the more he squeezed, the farther the people were pushed away, and the rebel army became stronger.

This is almost an unsolvable dilemma.

But Emperor Jin Hui easily broke it. This is also one of the main reasons why later historians in this parallel world have been arguing endlessly about "whether Emperor Jin Hui is a fool or not", saying that he is a fool, how can he be so clever in resolving the crisis that countless Ming monarchs may not be able to solve?

Really, the fool Emperor Jin Hui shook his head and sat on the Taiji Hall, and I was cute every day.

The prince Sima Xuan looked at his father, who only knew silly music, and had a sense of crisis of "No, I have to work harder, otherwise this country will eat jujube pills". If Sima Wei can publish an autobiography, he will definitely write it in the preface - there is no pressure, there is no motivation, everything I do today comes from my father's chic "spur".

Queen Sheep felt sorry for her son, but she couldn't take care of her because she was pregnant again.

The people of the Jin Dynasty recently discovered a very strange phenomenon, originally when they heard that the country was first tried by a great flood, and then there were two rebellions, they were ready to tighten their belts and be exploited again, but the result was ......

Not only did the imperial court not ask for money this time, but also came to send them money.

The old birthday star, who had experienced countless battles in the last years of the Three Kingdoms, said to his great-grandson who brought back the news from the city: "Didn't you wake up? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

When did he ever go to war, did the imperial court not ask for money, food, and people? He was able to survive because his father and mother would hide him, and as soon as he heard that there was going to be a war, he said that he had run away from home and had been hiding for three and a half years, and that was why he had survived with great difficulty today. He is doing the same now, hiding his great-grandson in the hope that he will keep some incense at home.

"It's true, I didn't lie to you. ”

Well, the imperial court can't be regarded as giving money, it's a sale, and it's a deal that is reasonably priced or even a little more profitable. If you help with the work, you can earn more money than if you worked for the squire. The reward for joining the army is more, it is said that in order to boost morale, the team led by Wei Qi, the real money is directly placed in front of the soldiers who go out, and the enemy is killed on the spot. The performance of killing the enemy is directly linked to the reward of military salaries.

"In the past wars, military salaries are not to be dragged to death. ”

"This time is different, I heard that someone in our village has already gotten the money, and even the battle is not over, so much has been sent back. ”

"Of the seven boys of the old Zhao family, three of them were sent, but they made a fortune. ”

Many people feel like they are dreaming, but it also arouses a piece of blood in their hearts. People are actually such philistines, if you show him the benefits at your fingertips, he can give you back an unquenchable potential.

Wei Jue remembered reading a saying on Weibo before: If you give me 100 catties of bricks, I will definitely not be able to move, but if you give me 100 catties of gold bricks, I will not only be able to move, but also run.

In the end, human potential is such a thing.

Money cannot directly buy the victory of the war, but it can buy grain and grass, buy the heart of the army, and buy the desire of the people. Or even buy to differentiate. Old man Wei is a person who is a chicken thief (feed), and he planted a seed of rebellion within the rebels with a single paperwork: The country knows that some of you are forced to rebel because you are helpless, and we will not blame you, because you are still a good person in your heart, but you just want to fight for the future of the family, you can understand. As long as you surrender, we will give money.

The rebel leader certainly could not tolerate such a disturbing affair spreading among the rebels, but once the rebel leader made a dead move, he changed from the side that led the toiling masses to overthrow the evil forces to the evil forces that oppressed the toiling masses. In this way, the vicious circle was transferred to the rebel generals.

When the rebels were in chaos and turned into a plate of scattered sand, the Jin Dynasty could easily reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Wei Qi and Wei Yi are worthy of being the grandsons of Old Man Wei, fully implementing and comprehending the spirit of Old Man Wei, and using the gold and silver sent by Wei Jue to play on the battlefield in the Sichuan generation, it can be said that they slipped into the air. They even used the money to create a counter-trick, sending away some flashy things that would not increase the wings of the enemy, but would be enough for their upper echelons to turn their faces. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it is difficult to turn back.

Let's put it this way, the army on Shile's side didn't have many casualties, and the opposite side was almost unable to hold on.

Wei Qi finally got his wish and became famous in the n-war. Now who mentions this Wei Jia Erlang, he doesn't praise him for being young and promising, and he is like a god. Of course, more people praise the outstanding education level of Old Man Wei, there are three grandchildren in total, but the three are so good, Wei Qi who wins with wisdom, Wu Xian (Wei Yi), and Wei Jue.

In the eyes of many people, Wei Jue can't be described with an adjective, his appearance, his talent, his conduct, even in the Wei family, which is full of talents, Wei Jue seems so outstanding and different.

Although there is a war going on outside, the general Wang Ji's face has always had a smile that can't be eliminated recently.

My sister, my sister, you're talking about my sister!

The Zhong family, the Wang family and Princess Changshan, who are accustomed to coaxing the second disease, said to Wang Ji one after another, the children have grown up so well, and there is at least half of the credit for you as an uncle, and you have played a great role model. So, for the sake of the next generation of our two families, like Wei Chong, Wei Qi's son, you continue to work hard, okay?

Of course!

Wang Ji, who was very comfortable to be touched by Shun Mao, sighed for the thousandth time in his heart that he had made the most correct decision in his life, and once again thanked his brother-in-law and Qiao for being willing to give him this opportunity.

Wang Ji wore a five-hour court dress, and walked through the palace with vermilion walls and blue tiles under his feet. It was a long, long road to the court, and Wang Ji had ups and downs, and it took decades to finally reach the front row of the court. Wang Ji suddenly remembered his first childhood dream, and he whispered a slightly silly oath in his brother's ear, saying that one day he would surpass Daddy and walk in front of all the courtiers. Now, he has realized his dream, and he is full of pride!

However, for Wang Ji at this time, the dream of making him proud has already changed from the head of the generals to his sisters shining in everyone's mouths.

It turns out that raising a child is such a fulfilling thing.

……

Now that the crisis is solved, it is time to consider the hidden dangers in the future.

"What hidden danger?" Old Man Wei looked at his grandson, admiring his sense of danger.

"A large amount of gold and silver flowed into ......" Europe, Wei Jue almost said the word casually, it was really when he carried the various contents of the new shipping route, he recited it too smoothly, "The inflow into China will inevitably lead to currency depreciation and rising prices, and the actual productivity, agricultural products and materials have not increased, and the increase will naturally only be the price." We don't see such a situation yet, but it's hard to say what the future holds. ”

The "price revolution" is about to begin. After studying history, this is good, and what some things will lead to has already been clearly and clearly written.

Even if Wei Jue didn't understand economics, Tuoba Liuxiu understood history, which was enough for them to prepare in advance.

Historically, the opening of new shipping routes began in Spain, and a large amount of gold and silver flowed into Spain at the earliest, which directly led to a fourfold increase in prices in Spain, and the traditional economy was greatly impacted.

A century later.

Therefore, Spain, which opened up new routes, did not become the hegemon of Europe, but fulfilled Britain and France by defending others as wedding dresses.

After much longer.

Yes, development is so slow, ancient times do not have to be modern, inflation seems to be a matter of minutes, today it is still spending, tomorrow it will eat dirt. For ancient times, even this kind of currency depreciation would take at least a hundred years to brew. That was under the premise that the agriculture of ancient Spain was relatively backward and could not support the whole population, and judging from the situation that the Jin Dynasty was self-sufficient and prepared to spend money to buy grain from abroad, the price revolution could only happen later.

Well, in this way, these things will not have any impact on Wei Jue's life, let alone a century or two, whether he can live until fifty years later is a question. In other words, when he was alive, the Jin Dynasty would have a sense of thriving vitality because of a strong injection of gold and silver, and he didn't need to worry about anything about it.

However, Old Man Wei, who was even more alive than Wei Jue, also fell into a long period of contemplation, although Wei Jue said some strange words, Old Man Wei still quickly understood Wei Jue's meaning, and fell into a panic.

In the general situation of Wei and Jin, who only cares about the current carnival and doesn't care what his day is, Old Man Wei's sense of worrying about the country and the people is really very different. Especially what happened more than a hundred years after the beginning of his worries, he would never see it, and it would never affect his things today, but he was so seriously worried.

Wei Jue didn't understand why his grandfather was like this, but he was still inevitably affected.

"Together, we can always think of ways to solve this crisis, or at least wake up future generations. "After the price revolution, the accumulation of sufficient primitive capital will begin the industrial revolution. Step by step, interlocking, history will force you to keep moving forward.

Wei Jue didn't dare to talk about the disadvantages with his grandfather anymore, and began to talk about the benefits of the "price revolution".

These Wei Jue didn't remember too clearly, because the "price revolution" as the "new route opening" and "the first industrial revolution" The intermediate transition history of the two major historical events, has not received much attention, at least not by the attention of the historical examination papers, Wei Jue can remember very limited things, fortunately, he has Tuoba six repair card mobile degree mother.

[The "price revolution" caused by the inflow of gold and silver and the depreciation of the currency has drawbacks, but also obvious benefits. For example, the smooth transition from the traditional natural economy to the commodity economy, the growing new rich will greatly promote the progress of productive forces, and the dependence of cities on rural areas will also increase, prompting agricultural production to become more and more commercialized and specialized, and changing the agricultural pattern. There will even be new forms of economic finance.

For every change, history has its own way of healing. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. It has led to some bad situations, but on the whole it has contributed to the progress of humanity. With the primitive accumulation of gold and silver, it was possible to develop technology and develop the industrial revolution.

So, don't worry about the ancients. 】
