Chapter 269: The Beginning of the Second Great Flood

The economic crisis is a bit too much, but the problem is not that serious.

First of all, the current era belongs to the kind of social system in which the distribution of wealth is very extreme.

Most of the people here belong to a social class that can be described as slaves.

The people at the bottom have no habit of consumption, except for basic things such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., the general cost is probably to get married and build a house.

In fact, the number of county towns and county towns across the country is not very large, and compared to the huge population, the country is dominated by farmers who have no money.

This kind of person does not have much need for money, and when the price of something rises, they will save money.

It is precisely because there are too many people who are not people that the increase in money this time has the greatest impact on those in the county and the people in the county, especially the merchants and handicraftsmen.

If there is, it is the craftsmen and the people in the yamen.

Because there aren't many jobs, even if there is an economic crisis, it's no different for most people, and they will continue to live their lives.

It's just that the people who can really represent this empire are those few people after all.

The quality of life of those few people has declined, and they will naturally find their own way.

Wang Lanling doesn't feel that this economic crisis has any impact on him, he is very different from the people of this era, and he started to manage money a long time ago.

As long as the money earned outperforms inflation, then the economic crisis is a big wave.

"Iron and soap, I don't have it here, but I can give you money, after all, you are an official businessman, it is more convenient than me to buy things, and now in the county and the state capital, you should still recognize money."

Wang Lanling's industrial system has not yet been established, he is not a county order, and there is no way to do much.

Although I don't know how to say it, the existence of Dongfang Wei now is indeed hindering the development of Wang Lanling.

However, Wang Lanling didn't want to do too much, saving the times or something, he was too tired, he didn't plan to do that kind of thing, and now it's almost the same.

Musheng realized the problem, nodded and said: "This is okay, I will go to the county to buy some, and the state capital will not go, I can't sell much when I go in previous years, but I am often fined." ”

Wang Lanling said curiously: "You are also an official, how could someone over there deliberately embarrass you?" ”

Mu Sheng said helplessly: "Unlike other places, we don't have anything special to sell there, but we often ask Yunzhou to give us some goods." ”

Hu Guiqiao also said: "My lord, the demand for beef and mutton in Yunzhou is not high, just the cattle and sheep under his rule are enough to eat, and I don't worry about not being able to eat good meat." ”

Wang Lanling looked at Mu Sheng, "What specialties do you have over there?" ”

The herdsman thought for a moment and said, "Leather, herbs, ores, and beef and mutton. ”

Muzhou is not a good place, and to praise it as a good place against my will is really sorry for those pioneers who dreamed of going back.

Wang Lanling thought of one thing, "Our county order here was also transferred from Muzhou, and when you were looking for him, you didn't talk about the old days, see if there are any people you all know, and talk about your hometown." ”

Mu Sheng and the others remained silent, the question was really ......

Hu Guiqiao, who was next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "My lord, the county order is that he is on an errand in the army, and the garrison of Muzhou is to suppress and take care of the surrounding Muzhou people, and often go out of the city to kill people and plunder, these are all legal things in the Muzhou army." ”

Wang Lanling was taken aback, "Is that so?" I didn't even know about this, sorry, I'm sorry, I was ignorant. ”

"I have several Jin slaves at home who were given to me by the county order, and I think that they are all people who were captured in the war, and I don't know that these people are ordinary people who were robbed by the county order."

Wang Lanling apologized to these people, he was not from Muzhou, and he did not have a deep understanding of what happened to Muzhou people, so he only felt that Muzhou people were discriminated against, and he didn't realize that this difference was so serious.

Mu Sheng said politely: "Muzhou has not been peaceful, some things are like storms and rains on the grassland, the past has passed, although I have not seen the golden people of Director Wang's family, but their lives must be much better than in Muzhou." ”

"It's true." Mu Sheng said with emotion: "If it weren't for Hu Zhong's obstruction this time, I would have brought some people who sold my body to Yunzhou to exchange supplies." ”

Hu Zhong didn't speak, and Wang Lanling didn't know who Hu Zhong was.

Musheng continued: "Although I did not do this, the officials and businessmen of the other counties have already done so. ”

Chun Yuping said at this time: "Lord Wang, you better be careful recently, many of the Muzhou people who were sold to the state capital are the descendants of pioneers, and they are smuggled into the state capital to change their nationality through this method." ”

Mu Sheng was startled, looked at Wang Lanling nervously, and said, "Director Wang, we don't have any solid evidence for this matter......

Wang Lanling nodded quickly and said: "Please rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who talks a lot, I won't ask for slaves anymore, let's continue to talk about money, I have two bicycles at home, do you accept them?" ”

The shepherd said happily: "Harvest! This is very popular in Makishu, and the big people on our side like novelties. ”

At present, the paper money issued by the imperial court no longer has the credit it used to be, and everyone has returned to the traditional way of bartering.

Bicycles can be exchanged for alcohol, guns, and women on the Mushu side!

Wang Lanling received a lot of things for this marriage, in addition to intuitive money, there are many bells and whistles.

For example, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, books, antiques, jewelry, firearms, leather shoes, watches, bicycles and other things.

Wang Lanling was not interested in any of this, and decided to change them all to more affordable things.

Under the economic crisis, everyone wants to spend their money as soon as possible, and a large number of coins that are about to depreciate are washed to low-lying places.

Wang Lanling didn't seriously think about how to deal with the economic crisis, he just instinctively didn't want to keep some useless things, so he used his huge funds to rush out.

At present, there is a very serious problem in various places, that is, the economy is not circulating, and at the same time, the consumption level is low.

Unless it is a loser who has no father and no mother, he will not allow the squandering of family property to happen if he has a father in everything.

The more money is worthless, the more reluctant many people are to spend money, the more they want to earn money and save money, and they are unwilling to spend money to buy some mutton to eat like last year.

Wang Lanling is an outlier, he has money, and he is very willing to spend money, and he has no father to control him......

Under the economic crisis, although money is not valuable, it is the most valuable thing.

As long as there are no major problems in the country, then money is still money.

Rather than equating money with luxury, Wang Lanling prefers to exchange money for insured assets such as manpower, prestige, cloth, grain, and land.

This is the case in both Lingtong and Yunshui counties, where people have no experience in dealing with the economic crisis, let alone how to deal with it.

Wang Lanling is only in self-preservation, among the more than one billion people in the empire, there is no shortage of famous generals who can fight well, and there is no shortage of talented civil servants, but it is difficult to appear that kind of cross-era handsome man in the economy.

The officials of Yunshui County in the upper reaches and Lingtong County in the lower reaches are trying to find ways to release water and find ways to make money!

Their ideas are simple, exchange money for something of value and gather more money and wealth!

Lord Wang's influence is not enough, but it is okay to buy some gadgets in Yunshui County and Lingtong County.

The upstream and downstream release water at the same time, but who cares about them from Heishui County?

The people of Heishui County now spend money only on IOUs, and IOUs can only be used in a few industries in Wang Lanling, and when the price of other things rises, these poor people will not buy them, and they will not be affected at all.

So now Heishui County is completely self-enclosed and has blocked the river embankment.

Yunshui County and Lingtong County do not have the special situation of Heishui County, and their trade is open normally.

How can the little water guns of these steady officials and gentlemen rush past Lord Wang, who has hundreds of thousands of cash in his hand?

In the first big flood, Wang Lanling flooded Yunshui County and Lingtong County a little bit.

This second flood, Wang Lanling is unaware and unconscious, and it will definitely cause even greater floods!
