Chapter 676: The Currency Storm in Hanzhong
Entering November.
It also began to snow in Hanzhong, the first snow was a little late, but it fell very quickly and violently, and in less than one night, it had covered Nanzheng City with a layer of silver, and the awe-inspiring cold was a little aggressive.
Minghou Mansion.
The front line has already begun, and it is also being fought in the backyard of Hanzhong.
War is on the front line, fighting for life, fighting like fire, life and death, it is cruel and bloody, and in the rear, it is economic strength, silent, but it can decide the outcome of the victory.
So the Minghou Mansion was very busy during this time, from top to bottom, everyone was busy, busy accumulating strength, busy with how to strengthen the economy of Hanzhong.
Mujing also can't touch the ground with his heels.
When he got up early in the morning, he walked on the promenade and looked outside, on the edge of the eaves of the mansion, the snow was falling little by little, and on the ground, the snow was piled up layer by layer, making him feel as if he had changed the world as soon as he woke up.
"Meet the Lord!"
As he walked by, the soldiers of the Janissary Guard Battalion, who were clearing the snow, saluted.
Last night's snow made the roads in Minghou Mansion a little blocked, so when the sky was not yet bright, the eight hundred soldiers of the Divine Guard Battalion guarding Minghou Mansion quickly moved and began to clean the snow.
The Shenwei Army of the Minghou Mansion originated from the Taiping Shenwei Army of the year, and later it was only established as a personal guard, with only more than 100 people at the highest time, and now there are only more than 80 people, but since the return of Wudu, the establishment has begun to expand.
The main force in Hanzhong now only leaves the Jingping First Army, the Jingping First Army has gone through the wolf war and is recuperating, and now the various departments are outside, only the First Army wants to defend the entire Hanzhong defense line, and the troops are insufficient.
So defend the head of the Minghou Mansion on the responsibility of the Divine Guard.
Under the order of Mu Jing, the Divine Guard Army urgently expanded, divided into two battalions, one is the Divine Guard Battalion, based on the original Divine Guard selected the most elite fifty-two people, forming a combat battalion, the other is the Praetorian Guard Battalion, the Praetorian Guard Battalion is to use the remaining thirty or so Divine Guard soldiers of the Divine Guard Army as officers, select the elite from each army, form a battle battalion, and defend the safety of the entire Minghou Mansion.
For the Divine Guard, it is the foundation of the Divine Guard Battalion, rather than indiscriminate, each of them is a master of martial arts, but it is Mujing's personal guard, although there are only dozens of soldiers, but they are all internal strength warriors, rare combat effectiveness in the world, with the battle formation formed by the Taiping Hook, even if it can defend the safety of Mujing in the army.
The Praetorian Guard Battalion, which is equivalent to the outer camp of the Divine Guard, is actually a battalion established for the safety of the Minghou Mansion, their duty is to defend the Minghou Mansion, guard the front and rear dock forts of the Minghou Mansion, if the enemy wants to attack the Minghou Mansion, they must step over their corpses.
Mu Jing walked through the long corridor, felt a chill rushing to his face, and hurriedly shook it, wrapped the padded jacket on his body tightly, and the padded jacket was put on by Cai Yan when he got up early in the morning.
When I walked into Zhaoming Hall, I suddenly felt a lot gentler.
The four corners of Zhaoming Hall are all protected from bronze stoves, the furnace is hot, and wisps of heat tumble out, setting off this hall like a summer day.
This is an artificial air conditioner in ancient times.
Although it is troublesome and not very practical, I have to admit that in this cold and icy weather, it is a rare and luxurious enjoyment.
"Lord, Master Liu sent a few pieces of the notebook overnight last night, and you need to see the purpose in person!"
Huo Yu came up and said.
"In such a hurry?"
Mu Jing took off the cotton jacket, this hall was gentle, and he was a little sweaty when he wore the cotton jacket, took off the cotton jacket, tidied up a white brocade robe, and sat in front of the desk.
Most of the rituals in the Han Dynasty were kneeling.
But Mu Jing doesn't like it very much, but he can follow the local customs, and he can't be too unconventional, so he neutralized it and chose a cross-legged posture, even so, he was often found fault by Cai Yong.
If you don't like it, you don't like it, and the kneeling posture always reminds him of a disgusting nation.
"It should be that Dahan Tongbao is about to replace the common coins on the market, and this matter has fermented, which has caused a lot of criticism, so that Master Liu can't sit still!" Huo Yu knelt beside him and said softly.
This matter has been fermenting for a while, but Mu Jing has been slow to press not to issue Dahan Tongbao, which has caused a kind of chaos in the market.
Currency change, which will form a price turmoil, will affect not a single household, but the entire Hanzhong, and even Wudu and Nanyang.
Turmoil is inevitable.
"It's right to sit still!"
Mu Jing thought for a while and said, "After pressing for so long, give them enough time to accept, it's time to launch our currency!" ”
Changing currencies is a big deal.
On a deeper level, it is an economic and financial war.
After all, controlling the currency is equivalent to controlling the finance of Hanzhong, and expanding the influence is the control of the economy, productivity, and trading rights.
Silent families, local wealthy families, anxious merchants, and people with brilliant hearts...... At this moment, they are all staring at Mu Jing and staring at the Dahan Tongbao that is about to be issued.
"How's Mingfeng Qianzhuang going?" Mu Jing asked.
"The nine counties in Hanzhong have all been arranged, Nanyang, starting from Nanxiang, several county towns have been prepared, and the rest of the counties have also begun to be built, and Wudu, Xiabi County has been prepared, but other counties need time!"
"In that case, let's start with Hanzhong!"
Mu Jing ordered: "Tomorrow, immediately issue the Great Han Tongbao, and at the same time let the South Study give a notice to all the counties in Hanzhong, starting today, all the counties under the rule of the Ming Marquis Mansion are only allowed to use the Great Han Tongbao and the Golden Cake as currency, and any other currency is not allowed to pass!" ”
"No!"
Huo Yu gave up his hand and immediately took a few scribes from Zhaomingtang to various yamen to start spreading Mujing's orders.
A thunderbolt.
The storm in Hanzhong arose.
When this edict was issued, a storm of currency was quickly ignited in the nine counties of Hanzhong, and the five baht coins, small coins, and copper coins that are now in use are extremely mixed, and suddenly they must be completely replaced, and people's hearts will naturally fluctuate.
"The notices are all out, it doesn't seem to be a rumor!"
"Then after the release of the Ming Hou's Dahan Tongbao, won't all the money in our hands become waste!"
"It's all money, why can't we use it?"
"Isn't this going to wipe us out?"
"We have accumulated a lifetime of net worth, are we all going to burn it down?"
"The Minghou Mansion is too bullying!"
"It's going to kill us!"
"The money in our hands is not money!"
"You must go to the government to ask for justice!"
“……”
Turmoil is formed, and even under the instigation of some well-intentioned people, it is a storm of people's hearts, currency is related to income, but also related to a lifetime of diligent accumulation, naturally turbulent people's hearts, and even make people take risks.
"What does Minghou Mansion mean?"
"Isn't it true that our foreign merchants won't be able to do business in Hanzhong at all in the future?"
"Not subject to our foreign coins, what do we settle!"
"It's all the business of the Ming Marquis, and he is familiar with commercial affairs, doesn't he know that the rash abolition of the currency will make the market turbulent, and he is not afraid of the collapse of commerce in the whole Han Dynasty?"
"Who knows what's going on in the heart of Lord Minghou?"
"It's not that simple for me!"
"Let's wait and see what happens!"
"I came from Guanzhong this time, and I brought all the small money in Guanzhong, is it that the small money issued by the imperial court can't be used in Hanzhong, how is this good!"
"A certain has negotiated with Xichuan merchants, one hand to deliver, one hand to pay, now our money can not be used, how to get the goods?"
“……”
The turmoil spread quickly, and the countless merchants in Hanzhong couldn't stabilize at this moment, and their mood was also worried, impatient as fire, and they almost didn't block the door of the Minghou Mansion.
Even some of the wealthy families in Hanzhong have joined forces to discuss changes, for fear that this will be affected by the currency storm.
……
Zhaomingtang.
Liu Jin knelt down in front of Mu Jing's desk, bowed his hand, and asked softly: "Lord, when will the second edict be issued!" ”
The first edict was deliberate.
Originally, the first and second edicts were issued together, which would not cause such turmoil, but Mujing could do this, in order to let more people know the existence of Dahan Tongbao, this is to build momentum, only by igniting the fire, can the existence of Dahan Tongbao be notified to the world.
The second edict is that it can quell the chaos.
Now that the storm of currency is like fire, it has ignited the entire Hanzhong, even ordinary people, have already known it, and everyone is in a state of anxiety.
The momentum is on.
As long as the turbulent hearts of these people can be soothed, then there will be no obstacle to the issuance of Dahan Tongbao.
"Wait three days!"
The corners of Mu Jing's mouth raised a wicked smile slightly, and he said softly: "Let their restless mood fly for a while, they must now feel that the coins in their hands will become waste, so they will be anxious, the more anxious, the more they will remember, only let them despair, and then give them hope, they are willing to accept the circulation of Dahan Tongbao!" ”
