Chapter 350: Tea War Plan

In this way, the military and political aspects are basically dealt with.

Xu Ding said to everyone again:

"Next, while we are carrying out economic construction, we will implement the tea war plan to further improve the deep processing of our tea industry and form an industrial chain to benefit all the people under our rule."

He guided the research of the tea process as early as a few years ago, and began to plant and develop under his rule, but the scale was limited, so the benefits that could be produced were not too large.

Because it was mainly sold to the family and princely merits in the early stage, the consumer group was limited.

Now that it has become a scale, the people under the rule of Weiyuan Island and Donglai County are engaged in a large number of tea industry chains, which has increased a lot of employment and additional income, which is conducive to the recovery of the economy and rapid development.

Therefore, low-end tea can be oriented to the people.

At the same time, it was trafficked to the grassland tribes to obtain the corresponding horses, forming a seemingly mutually beneficial relationship, but it was actually a tea war plan on Weiyuan Island.

Tea is a necessity for nomads, as their daily diet consists mainly of milk and meat, and they need tea drinks to digest and supplement some vitamins at the same time.

Before there was no tea, of course, the northern grassland tribes would not rely too much on it, but after the popularity of high-end tea in recent years and the nobility of the grassland tribes, the entire grassland knew the benefits of this thing.

They are all buying each other, regardless of value.

Therefore, Weiyuan Island and Donglai really rely on low-end tea to make money, or to earn these aliens.

The development of low-end tea and the dumping of coarse tea can not only exchange for a large number of horses for war, but also control the grassland tribes in disguise, forming a kind of restriction.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, such measures were taken and good results were achieved.

In particular, the Qing Dynasty relied on the control of tea roads and tea, and restrained Tsarist Russia in the early stage, not only earning a large amount of money from Tsarist Russia to fill financial expenditures, but also stabilizing the northern frontier.

Now Xu Ding also relies on low-end tea, a large number of long-term benefits to the people under his rule, making them rich, so it is also an economic means to kill two birds with one stone.

"Rest assured, we have been encouraging the people to grow tea in the land that is not conducive to the growth of crops, and now we have enough planting scale to be purchased and sold by the government to ensure that the people get benefits." Xi Zhicai stood up and said.

Trade with the grassland, in fact, Xu Ding has always supported, except for restrictions on salt and iron weapons, other daily consumables, that is, how many are sold.

At the same time as the horses were replaced, a large number of cattle were replaced, and these cattle could be transformed into ploughing cattle after training, and with ploughing cattle, the agricultural production efficiency was greatly improved.

"If we make money, we have to spend it, and now we will spend all our money, face the major states and counties, buy me hard, and buy everything we can to eat, use, wear, and all kinds of strategic materials.

Don't be afraid to spend money, that is, to make money come alive, to vigorously procure, that is, to let the people of the world know that we are heaven here, we are rich here, and it is a place that everyone yearns for, understand. Xu Dingjie gave new instructions to his subordinates:

"Spend money on me vigorously, and at the same time, all the old coins we received will be sent back to Weiyuan Island, so that they don't let it circulate in the market."

Although Xu Ding had countless brass and could mint countless new coins, he did not issue money indiscriminately, but only replaced the equivalent amount of old coins with new coins to complete his purchasing power.

Although he didn't know much about economics, he also understood the consequences of indiscriminate issuance of banknotes and indiscriminate printing of money.

If there is more money, it will depreciate.

In the end, it was the people who were bad.

Therefore, although he buys heavily and keeps minting coins, he is also planning and using it to a limited extent.

In this way, although it will also cause prices to rise for a certain period of time, it will not collapse his credibility.

After all, he wants the new coin to replace the old coin and obtain the right to mint coins, but he can't smash his own pot.

So soon, Xu Ding's purchasing caravan traveled from Youzhou to Jizhou, from Yanzhou to Yuzhou, from Jingzhou to Yizhou, and from Xuzhou to Yangzhou.

Buying very happily, spending a lot of money like a poppers.

At the time of settlement, it was all in Singapore dollars.

At first, many people still wondered if the new coin, which was shiny like gold, was fake.

However, after weighing the amount, they all gladly accepted it, saying that they would want as many new coins as they wanted, even if it was a little higher than the exchange rate in the market.

The new coins minted in the factor brass are a bit heavier than the average old coin.

The old coin contains more impurities, and the new coin is more beautiful and bright, which is more lovely.

"Hahaha, collect it for me, collect the new coins that are promised, and after collecting them, all of them will be melted for me and minted into old coins, and then I will exchange them for new coins."

After Yuan Shu heard that Xu Ding was using a large number of new coins, he immediately discovered a business opportunity and ordered his subordinates to collect a large number of Xu Ding's new coins.

Yuan Shu's rule was the richest of all.

Nanyang and Runan alone are densely populated, the land is fertile, and all kinds of agricultural products, such as grain, cloth and the like, are innumerable.

Therefore, it is also the state and county that Xu Ding focuses on purchasing.

Now Yuan Shu not only has Runan and Nanyang, but also Chenguo, Liangguo, Yingchuan and other counties, and almost the entire Yuzhou belongs to him.

It was not only Yuan Shu who gave this order, but also Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao in the north, and Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, and Sun Jian in the south.

Liu Yan and Zhang Lu in Yizhou in the west, Jiao He, Liu Dai and other states and counties nearby, whether at the official level or major families, quietly put away the new coins, and then re-melted them into old coins.

Yanzhou East County!

Cao Cao's place!

"Tell me about it, the new coins made by Bokang, should we take them in and melt them down and mint them into old coins!"

Cao Cao also had some intention when he saw the new coin, but he was suspicious and didn't dare to start easily.

Chen Guan said: "It's better not to, the new currency is beautifully made, the hardness is stronger, it is more conducive to circulation, the flood of old coins is suppressed, and the shortage of catties brought about by the private minting is cracked down, and the more new coins are held, the more conducive to economic stability. ”

From Chen Gong's point of view, although Xu Ding is also privately minted, his new coin is a little more weighty.

This is a typical measure to do good deeds and stabilize the economy of the Han Dynasty.

Look at how much the Han Dynasty has depreciated its coins over the years because of the war.

With this kind of new currency, it can alleviate the depreciation and stabilize the economy, and it will not cause the people to suffer.

Chen Gong said too bluntly, Cao Cao looked at his other strategist, Cheng Shu, and asked, "What do you think, Wei An?" ”

Cheng said: "What Gongtai said is reasonable, in my opinion, Weihai Hou is not a good type, his wisdom is like a demon, it is unlikely to do such a stupid thing, I think there is a trick, anyway, we are small under our rule, and the money and food are not abundant, it is better to sit and watch the situation in the world." ”

Cao Cao's eyes flashed when he heard this, yes, with Xu Ding's intelligence, I am afraid that there is something they haven't seen through.

Anyway, he Cao Cao didn't have much money, and there were not many new coins in circulation under his rule, and it wouldn't increase much if they were melted and minted into new coins.

The fundamental way is to make the rule rich and prosperous.
