Chapter 362: New Coins Strike
I don't know when it began, a new type of copper coin began to circulate in Xiangyang City.
These coins are in excellent fineness and do not have a square hole in the middle.
In the words of circulation, this copper coin is quite valuable, and there is no need to wear it with a thread at all.
People always show unusual talent for whether something is worth anything or not.
This new coin quickly replaced the old copper coin at a terrifying speed, and gradually became the only circulating currency in Jingzhou.
All this, of course, is indispensable to Lu Tianba and others behind the scenes.
The value of the new copper coin itself, as well as the deliberate promotion, is not surprising with the current situation.
"King, the circulation of this Chu coin is much faster than expected!"
In the manor, Lu Tianba looked at Xu Tian who was sitting in the attic with a flying expression and said.
"It's not surprising that copper coins used to be of mixed merit and disadvantage.
Moreover, there are people who mint money privately, which destroys the market of copper coins even more.
The emergence of Chu Coin will completely change this phenomenon! ”
Xu Tian's words, Lu Tianba thought so, and the Lu family had a deep understanding of this.
Once upon a time, because of the different advantages and disadvantages of copper coins, prices soared.
Hundreds of people died as a result, and the Lu family suffered most of the pressure because of the main grain industry.
"The king made a new copper coin, there should be more than that..."
Lu Tianba tried to ask, but he didn't believe that Xu Tian had spent so much effort, just to balance the price.
"This question, you will understand later, and now if you tell you, you will not understand it either..."
Lu Tianba smiled slightly, he took it as Xu Tian's excuse.
"By the way, from now on, the plowshares, paper, books, cane sugar, etc. we produce must use Chu coins, and only Chu coins will be accepted!"
Xu Tian looked at Lu Tianba and instructed very seriously.
"This is nature, please rest assured, I will handle this matter!"
Lu Tianba said yes, Xu Tian's entrustment made him understand something...
…
Yecheng, in the palace of the King of Wei.
Cao Pi closed his eyes and sat in the lobby.
In front of him, there was an edict.
This is a letter jointly signed by the ministers to Cao Pi, demanding the implementation of the Nine Grades Official Law.
If Cao Pi agreed, they would support him as emperor.
Chen Qun has been standing here silently for a long time.
He didn't have a trace of impatience, and even the more time passed, the more stable his heart became.
When he saw this edict, Cao Pi completely understood why these scholars were trying to stop his father.
Because my father's policy did not consider the interests of their clan at all.
"Chen Qun..."
After a long time, Cao Pi finally opened his eyes.
"The lower official is here!"
Chen Qun respectfully stepped forward and bowed deeply to Cao Pi.
"You want me to be emperor, do you know, what does that mean?
Now in the world, there is still an emperor, and this emperor is in Xiangyang! ”
In the end, Cao Pi slapped the table, and the items on it flew everywhere.
Chen Qun was taken aback, but immediately stabilized his mind and continued.
"King Wei doesn't have to worry about this, the current emperor is in Xiangyang, and he is also under the control of that Xu Tian.
To be honest, I'm afraid it's not even as good as a puppet.
In the Han Dynasty, there is no longer an inch of land, and a people exists!
More importantly, that Xu Tian and Doctor Shi are mortal enemies.
With him, the scholars were denied no rights at all.
Unlike us, once the new law is implemented, people from all over the world will definitely flock to it.
At that time, that emperor will be dispensable! ”
With Chen Qun's words, Cao Pi gradually quieted down.
He squinted, and the smile on his face gradually unfolded.
Chen Qun's heart was even happier than Cao Pi.
The other party behaved like this, and I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before the new law is implemented.
Just after the two of them got what they wanted at the same time, a person slowly walked in outside the main hall.
Seeing Sima Yi coming, Chen Qun and Cao Pi smiled almost at the same time.
It's just that seeing Sima Yi's extremely gloomy face, the two couldn't help frowning.
"Sima Gong, what's wrong, when was he so worried?"
Chen Qun took the lead in clenching his fists and asked.
Cao Pi also looked at Sima Yi with a puzzled face.
"King Wei, look at this..."
Sima Yi ignored Chen Qun, but took out a copper coin from his arms.
This copper coin has no square holes, like a piece of copper cake.
And it's yellow, and it looks like it's in good condition.
"This is..."
Cao Pi picked up the copper coin suspiciously, only to see that there was a big "Chu" character printed on the back.
Chen Qun was not angry at Sima Yi ignoring him, and also looked at the copper coin, greatly puzzled.
"This is the latest copper coin to appear, called Chu coin.
This is a new type of coin made by Xu Tian, the king of Chu.
Today, such copper coins have become the main currency of the Chu State.
Even the transaction with us only accepts such Chu coins! ”
"A new type of copper coin?"
Cao Pi played with the copper coin and looked at it with interest.
"I wonder if King Wei can allow his ministers to take a look?"
Chen Qun frowned and stepped forward and said to Cao Pi.
Without hesitation, Cao Pi handed the copper coin in his hand to Chen Qun.
After taking the copper coin, he checked it in his hand, and looked at it carefully over and over again, Chen Qun couldn't help but speak.
"This is a good thing, the condition, the quality, including the workmanship, are all of the highest quality!"
"Yes, Lone also thinks so, I don't know where Sima Gong's worries come from?"
Cao Pi nodded, agreeing with Chen Qun's point of view.
"King Qiqi, this money is indeed very good. It's also worth a lot of money.
But this is Chu coin, once it successfully replaces the status of our five-baht coin, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
Neither Cao Pi nor Chen Qun seemed to understand this.
Looking at the puzzled looks of the two, Sima Yi sighed lightly and explained.
"Now the Chu coins have been circulated to us.
Its value is five times that of five baht coins, that is, five five baht coins can be exchanged for one such Chu coin.
Then, with these Chu coins, you can buy the goods of Chu!
This is not the most terrifying, the most important thing is that the people have begun to fully exchange this Chu currency, whether they trade with the Chu State or not. ”
Sima Yi's explanation seemed to have put Cao Pi in.
I saw Cao Pi scratching his head and frowning and asking.
"Then is this Chu coin worth five five baht?"
"It's worth it..."
After saying that, Sima Yi immediately regretted it.
Sure enough, when he heard this, Cao Pi let out a sigh of relief.
"It's worth it, maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's just the solution to the problem of our market chaos. ”
Today's Cao Pi is completely attracted by Chen Qun's set.
In his heart, almost all about how to replace the useless emperor.
He didn't care at all about Sima Yi's reminder.
Glancing at Chen Qun beside him, Sima Yi let out a long sigh...
