Chapter 494: Inflation in the Han Dynasty
Fei Qian gathered the five baht coins on the table together and sighed, feeling some guilt in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Three Kingdoms finally returned to the Jin Dynasty in history, and then collapsed, and most people in later generations believed that it was the reason why the Sima clan would only eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, and smoke, but Fei Qian only deduced and guessed from the currency, in fact, this crime is not necessarily entirely human factor......
There are many emperors in history who are not four or six, but there is nothing to do, but Sima Lang has corrupted some and caused the country to be finished?
In fact, I'm afraid it still falls on this "money".
Money, issued by the state, is naturally endorsed by the state and bears credibility.
But once the people have lost confidence in this money, how much confidence will there be in the country that issued this coin?
The rapid collapse of the Jin Dynasty was inseparable from the erosive economy that had been beaten into a sieve in the later period of the Three Kingdoms. In other words, in fact, Zhuge also fulfilled his wish to drag down the Wei State......
The war that lasted for thirty or forty years not only wiped out people, but also destroyed the economies of Wei and Shu, but the only one that was better was Jiangnan, which had been squatting for a long time, so finally the Jin Dynasty moved south.
The end of the Sima family lies in the fact that they can fight, strategize, and spend all their time, but they don't understand economics and don't know how to manage money......
And now, the coming inflation will sweep the entire north, and there should be some factors that contribute to it......
Fei sighed faintly, this feeling is indescribable, there is excitement, regret, some guilt, and even a trace of regret, but I have to do it.
Three Kingdoms, many people only remember the emperor and the general, who knows that in fact, this small piece of copper coin can also make these heroes fall into the dust?
As long as inflation comes, the materials that Cui Hou borrowed will be the same as those picked up for nothing, and at that time, the fool will use the iron ingot to repay the debt, and the entire economy will be in chaos, and the price will be boiling, and he only needs to take the copper money like waste to pay it back......
And those who lend supplies will become leeks harvested by Fei Qian through inflation.
And the mines that were planted in Luoyang before, I guess they have also popped up now......

Changan.
Prime Minister's Long History Mansion.
As soon as Jia Xu entered the hall, he was glared at by Li Ru fiercely, subconsciously retracted, and said, "I didn't come without permission, I have official business, just by the way...... Hey! Senior brother, why do you look like this?! ā
Li Ruluo waved his hand a little helplessly and said, "...... How is it in Longxi now? ā
"It's still the same...... However, the Ma family is a little restless......" Jia Xu said as he circled around Li Ru twice, shook his head and said, "...... Brother, what are you...... Alas...... I'd better stay and help you......"
Li Ru pointed to the desk next to him, motioned for Jia Xu to go over and sit down, and said, "The Ma family, hehe, the Ma family is not restless this time or twice...... I'm still holding on...... Hey, stop going around in circles, go over and sit down. ā
Jia Xufang staggered and sat down, still sighing: "...... How much beef do you have to eat to make up for your size? ā
"Okay, I don't need to be reminded that I know......" Li Ru clapped his hands, and immediately walked in from outside the hall and placed some dishes and drinks on the table.
Jia Xu pinched a piece of beef, filled it in his mouth, let the juice of the beef burst out in his mouth, and moaned with satisfaction, "It's still delicious beef here Senior Brother!" ā
"That's because the management here is full and doesn't need money......"
Jia Xu quickly ended the topic and said, "Dong Zhongying's situation doesn't look very good......
"You should at least call Dong Xiangguo...... Li Ru frowned, was silent for a while, and said, "...... There are indeed some, this time...... Well, even ...... Somewhat forgetful......"
"Okay, okay......" Jia Xu wiped the oil stains on his fingers on the table and said, "It's a pity that the son of Xiangguo died early, and Dong Shizhong and Niu Zhonglang ...... Not a climatic ......"
Jia Xu suddenly tilted his neck to Li Ru's side, and whispered with squeezing his eyebrows: "...... Otherwise...... Senior brother, you ...... Hey, hey, hey......"
"Nonsense!" Li Ru's face sank.
Jia Xu retracted his outstretched head and muttered in a low voice, "...... Do you have to promise the last wishes of the ancients......"
Li Ru didn't speak, just glared at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu hid his face and said, "Okay, don't say this, don't talk about this." Senior brother, when I came in just now, I saw you holding a wooden sign in a daze...... Is it difficult to arrange today's sudden population increase? ā
Speaking of this, Li Ru sighed slightly, and handed a wooden card to Jia Xu: "It's easy to arrange people, but this thing is not easy to arrange......"
Jia Xu turned it over and looked at the wooden card a few times, and suddenly said: "This shouldn't be your idea, otherwise you wouldn't have made so many things, so you can't eat ...... now."
"It started in a hurry, ...... at that time" Li Ru nodded, and said about Fei Qian's advice after the lower-level officials in Luoyang ran away at that time, and then said, "If you don't stop it for a while, you will give too much ......."
The effect is still good. The migration of the people from Sili was smoother than originally expected, and there were many fewer disputes on the way, in this respect, the wooden sign did play a positive role, but now the side effects are also reflected, and when it comes to the land, the people will come to cash in with the wooden card......
Originally, it was a little more, and it was also within Li Ru's control, anyway, he scavenged a lot of money from Luoyang, but he didn't expect that after coming to Chang'an, an economic phenomenon that was not controlled by Li Ru disrupted the original plan.
The sharp inflation in the Chang'an area happened suddenly!
The rapid increase in population consumption demand and the influx of money produced a huge gap between supply and demand and the original quantitative material reserves in Chang'an, which caused Li Ru to be caught off guard at all, and watched the prices in Chang'an exceed the money he originally prepared for a period of time, and all the people from the officials to the people were frantically rushing to buy and store......
The money brought from Luoyang has shrunk in an instant, and the prices in Chang'an have risen to a very outrageous situation due to the double coaxing of local and non-local personnel, and a stone of grain costs 10,000 yuan, and it may not be able to be bought!
Li Ru understands astronomy and geography, military strategy, and people's livelihood arrangements, but in the face of this surging hyperinflation, he is powerless.
Li Ru asked Dong Zhuo for help once, and transferred the military rations stored in Yiwu to suppress the price once, but it was useless, but after a few days of stabilization, he began to climb wildly, and then Dong Zhuo said that he would never transfer grain and grass again......
