Liu Zhengfeng looked around, and everyone quieted down and waited for Liu Da to speak.

"Cough, cough, please come over early this morning to discuss matters, the main reason is that I have been running around these days, and there is no spare work, if it wasn't for Brother Yu's divine soldiers yesterday, I am afraid that most of them have now entered Huangquan and gone to see Brother Yu Hai." Here I Liu Zhengfeng to tea instead of wine, toast to the brother a cup, thank you for yesterday's help, do it first! Liu Zhengfeng stood up, picked up the teacup, and drank it all. Several leaders at the table also followed suit and drank a drink.

Yu Zhilong saw that Liu Zhengfeng and others were so solemn, and he was suspicious in his heart, he only invited himself today, but he didn't say that he invited Zhao Shi and others, and he was so kind to himself after meeting, I was afraid that there would be an article later. muttered in his heart, but he promised: "The big boss and the leaders are serious, their own brothers, it is Zhilong's responsibility to save each other." After speaking, he drank all the tea.

Liu Zhengfeng invited everyone to sit down after drinking, and saw Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and other leaders of thousands of households looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he was in charge, and if he was embarrassed, he had to take the lead.

"Yesterday's battle, Meng Lao's strength was greatly damaged, it is difficult to do anything, although there are many chasing soldiers behind, but there will be many doors, it is difficult to coordinate, our army now has to help the little brother, the number of men and horses has increased greatly, if there is no accident, the next few days can be with the enemy. Brother Yu also laid two stockades before this, captured a lot, and yesterday defeated the Meng rebels, brother, I have a reluctant request for my brother here, I don't know if I should talk about it? ”

"You're welcome."

"Well, that's the case, Brother Yu also knows that the men and horses of the leaders have lost nearly half of them after the battle in these days, especially in several battles with the Tartar cavalry, we have suffered a lot of losses. Several big leaders saw that Brother Yu had a lot of prisoners yesterday, and they came together to beg me to ask Brother Xiao for favors, and asked Brother Yu to divide a section of prisoners and grain to supplement to several leaders, I don't know if it's okay? Liu Zhengfeng was heartbroken, and said with a thick face.

In fact, early this morning, before dawn, Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan, Yu Shichang and other leaders came to see Liu Zhengfeng, several people in a word, first poured a stomach of bitter water, said that their men and horses lost too much, a few days to fight, now there is not much grain left, since Yu Zhilong won a big battle yesterday, captured a lot, I hope Liu Zhengfeng will come forward, ask for some prisoners to supplement the grain and grass to his department.

According to the convention, the capture and capture were generally distributed by the big boss, but whoever contributed the most took the lion's share. But this time it was completely Yu Zhilong and his party who contributed alone, and there was really no reason to ask Yu Zhilong to divide part of the capture and capture, and Wan Jinhai, Liu Qi and others had a lot of appetite, seeing that Yu Zhilong got such a big piece of cake, he wished that he could take the lion's share.

Liu Zhengfeng naturally wanted to get some benefits for himself, but because of his face, he didn't want to be too embarrassed by Yu Zhilong, hearing the tone of these people, he actually hoped to be able to take up a lot of shares, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again, the lion's big mouth should also have a limit, such a division is only afraid that it will annoy Yu Zhilong and others.

However, these people then proposed that if it weren't for Brother Yu Hai's insight into heroes, he was ordered to promote Yu Zhilong to the squadron of thousands of households, and Liu Zhengfeng, the big leader, entrusted him with important tasks and made him a pioneer, how could Yu Zhilong and others have today's momentum? The so-called drinking water thinks of the source, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, if Yu Zhilong is grateful, he will promise. Several people were repeatedly entangled, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't stand it, and finally agreed to gather everyone in the morning to discuss the matter, and put it forward in person to see how Yu Zhilong answered. In order to prevent Yu Zhilong's department from turning his face and refusing on the spot, everyone's face is not good-looking, Liu Qi also specially suggested that this meeting, just invite Yu Zhilong himself, Zhao Shi, Wu Side and others are the masters who do not rub sand in their eyes, Zhao Shi has a city government and can still endure it, but Wu Side is a hot temperament, and it will blow up at a point.

Yu Zhilong finally understood that this was going to divide the peaches after the war.

The current situation of Liu Zhengfeng's department is basically clear to Zhilong, as Liu Zhengfeng said, several thousand households have suffered a lot of losses due to several battles, and it is estimated that the total number of men and horses will not exceed 800 when they are fully defeated, and now their own strength is the strongest, and they have captured a lot of prisoners and baggage, and it is not an exaggeration to eat them all according to the convention, but in the current situation, it is too jealous. But if you follow Liu Zhengfeng's words, hand over most of the prisoners and baggage, and don't say that you are unwilling, even these hundreds of households and general banners under your command will never agree.

Thinking about the hardships that these people have gone through in these days, and they have been born and died several times before they finally have this result, if it is distributed according to the words of these people seated, not to mention that Zhao Shi and others will not agree, even if they are unwilling.

Yu Zhilong didn't answer for a while, thinking carefully in his heart. Seeing that he didn't speak, everyone didn't know what decision he would make, everyone in the room was quiet for a while, and several big leaders looked at Yu Zhilong anxiously, looking left and right from time to time, meeting their eyes. Now Yu Zhilong's family is powerful, if it shouldn't, everyone can't, after all, if this thing falls on him, he will never agree, and at most symbolically hand over something.

Just thinking about the captures and captives I saw yesterday, my heart was really irritating, if I had been a pioneer myself, it would be difficult to say that these gains were not my own! It is a matter of everyone's vital interests, this Yu Zhilong is just a newly promoted person, fledgling and unsolidified, and everyone can't help but despise him.

"Brother Yu, brother, I know that you have suffered a lot along the way, and it is a bit unpleasant to mention this, but after all, we are a long-term friendship, and it is difficult to be together, and we can taste food together! Brother Yu can rest assured, you helped the brothers this time, the big guy will naturally accept your affection, and there will be a good reward another day! Liu Zhengfeng saw that Yu Zhilong did not speak, and continued.

"Yes, Brother Yu, I will accept your favor this time, and I will definitely repay it another day!" Several other leaders also spoke out. Yu Shichang sat but was silent.

"There is no problem, the current situation of our army and the losses of the leaders are obvious to all, and it is natural to give some seizures to the departments to replenish. Our department is also a part of the team, and everyone shares weal and woe, and we are in the same boat. ”

"A few days ago, our unit conquered Liujiazhuang and Hujiazhuang, and obtained a lot of grain and money, except for some of the food and money that was reserved for military use, most of them were distributed to the peasant households inside and outside the village on the spot, and the cattle, sheep and vehicles were not left, and they were basically distributed to the peasant households. Now the mules and horses in the team were all used again in order to speed up the march yesterday, so that they could come in time to defeat the old thief Meng. I intend that our department only keep the mules and horses captured by the old thief Meng Qing, and that two hundred of the mules and horses in the village can be left for distribution by the big chief, and the rest of the mules and horses should be distributed to the farmers of the two villages for cultivation. In addition, if the leaders do not dislike it, I can first allocate 3,000 stones of rice millet, a total of 10,000 taels of silver, copper coins, and yuan bills, which will be distributed by the big boss. ”

Everyone is not interested in the yuan banknotes, but they are extremely concerned about the real money and copper money, this time to seize the two villages, Yu Zhilong was pleasantly surprised to find that there are more than a dozen large urns of silver hidden in the cellar of the big household, a small amount of gold, the most of which is the copper coins issued by the Yuan court of various generations, there are the great dynasty treasure, the middle of the common treasure, the right treasure, the great yuan treasure, the great treasure and so on. Because the value of the yuan banknote has depreciated greatly, the world mostly trades with copper coins and silver, and even barters directly with goods. Gold and silver are precious metals, which are not easy to obtain, and are almost rare for ordinary people, but copper coins are currently commonly used coins, and the government is difficult to forbid, and generally turn a blind eye and ignore it.

"As for yesterday's prisoners, the number of people has been counted about eight hundred, yesterday's battle, our casualties were not small, the same needs to be supplemented, but it is not good to divide too much, besides, the total number of men and horses of the leaders is less than a thousand, if too many prisoners are added at once, the discipline is not at the moment, but it is easy to cause trouble. In this case, can we send out 300 captives and replenish them to you? Yu Zhilong said slowly.

Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, I will definitely have a bowl of water and do these things fairly!" ”

Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and others got up one after another to express their gratitude, although everyone wanted to ask for as much as possible, but how much Yu Zhilong's food and money he got, he didn't know, now it is enough to have these rice millets and silver taels to distribute to their respective subordinates, but unfortunately the number of captives is less, but since Yu Zhilong has already expressed his attitude, it is not good to fight more for a while. I hope Liu Zhengfeng can give himself more shares.

"This matter has been discussed, I wonder what the leader plans to do in the future?" Liu Zhengfeng saw that things had a satisfactory result, and asked Yu Zhilong what he planned to do next.

"For the time being, it is to take prisoners and train the ministries. In addition, the fields, mules, horses, vehicles, and floating wealth that had been promised to be distributed to the two villages were divided as soon as possible in the next few days; Our department has arranged for a detailed work to infiltrate Linqu County, contact available people, and see if there is a chance to attack Linqu County in the next few days. Yu Zhilong thought for a moment and replied.

"Oh, Leader Yu wants to attack the county seat? That's a good thing! Now our army is strong and strong, and the momentum is flourishing, and if we lay down the county, we can greatly publicize the prestige of our army, and we can get captured and supplemented, if we use this as a basis, there is a lot to be done in the future! Liu Qi's eyes lit up and said hurriedly.

The other big and small leaders all came to their senses all of a sudden, including Liu Zhengfeng, who also put down the tea bowl in his hand and waited for Yu Zhilong's words.

"In the past, we were mostly engaged in warfare, and we usually fought some villages and market towns, but neither the capture nor the impact was very large, and the morale of the brothers was not high. The officials and soldiers always scolded us for being rogues, and we couldn't make the climate, and if we could conquer a county seat, then the momentum would be great in the future. Qin Zhanshan narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh wistfully.

"It's not, I think that Liu Futong, Sesame Li, Xu Shouhui and Zhang Shicheng and others are in the south, they are all attacking countless cities, and they have occupied many big cities in prefectures and counties, I heard that the soldiers and horses under their command are around hundreds of thousands, and the heads of the court officials who are cut off have to be held in baskets! Perhaps this capture of the city will be the beginning of our army's future prestige. "Several hundred households, the more the general flag is talking in the back, the louder it becomes.

Liu Zhengfeng listened to the heart, since following Yu Hai to start the incident, although he has been fighting for several years, but most of them have been tossing and turning between villages and towns in the countryside, because of their weak strength, they are unable to attack the city, not to mention Jinan, Yidu, Tai'an and other big cities, even Linqu and other small cities can not be captured. Now by chance, with Yu Zhilong's unexpected joy, his strength is far better than before, if he can really fly the dragon in the sky, like Liu Futong, Zhang Shicheng, etc., with a million army in hand, where can the world go? Not to mention that in the future, it is possible to enter the phase, and even sit in the south and face the north!

Thinking of the yellow robe, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but dry his tongue for a while, his heart was pounding, and he felt that his ears could no longer hear everyone's words, and in a noisy voice, it seemed that a voice was singing in the far hall, long live my emperor, long live, long live!

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty promulgated the banknote law throughout the country, and specially formulated the "Zhongtong Banknote Law", which clearly stipulates the issuance reserve, issuance limit, gold and silver trading, banknote channels and penalties for counterfeiting, etc., to ensure the normal circulation and stability of banknotes. Due to the policy of convertibility at that time, people could exchange treasure money and silver at any time in the early days, thus establishing the credibility of the imperial court.

With the stability of the currency value and the great development of commerce, production and circulation in the medium term, the convenience and value of the yuan banknote have been recognized by the world, and the world generally "heavy banknote and light silver". In the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the government explicitly banned the trading of silver and copper and other currencies, and the treasure banknote officially became a semi-credit currency. In metal currencies, the scope of circulation began to shrink, and in some regions it even withdrew from market trading. At that time, the treasure banknotes of the Yuan Dynasty gradually changed from the silver standard to the credit currency.

In the Middle Yuan Dynasty, the government explicitly banned the trading of silver and copper and other currencies, and the treasure banknote officially became a semi-credit currency.

However, in the later "Passage of Yuan Bao Banknotes", although it was stipulated that currency was used in paying taxes, repaying public and private debts, buying and selling in the market, and pledging the land and houses, the treasure banknotes were not allowed to be exchanged for cash, which paved the way for the fall of the Yuan banknotes in the later period.

After the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan court issued uncontrolled yuan banknotes indiscriminately to supplement military expenses, government expenses, court rewards, etc., and even some ministers printed them privately for personal gain! The credit and value of the yuan began to plummet, and the evil consequences of severe inflation led to the loss of popular support and a complete collapse of the economy. Even Jialu Kaihe's good policy was not supported by the whole court.
