"What? Master's house, what do you call three hundred!

Didn't we talk about it before? Why did it become so many all at once? ”

Lao Zhang was dumbfounded, the price that was negotiated half a month ago has tripled in a short period of time!

What's more, all his money added up to only two hundred Chu coins.

This means that not only will he not be able to buy a house here, but he will also lose his property for nothing.

At this moment, Lao Zhangtou only felt that his whole body was straight and soft.

"Old man Zhang, it's not that I don't talk about integrity, you go to the city to inquire, this Chu coin is worth three times a day, and now I dare to sell it to you, it's already a risk!"

The owner of the house said bitterly with a bitter face.

He didn't lie, in the past half a month, there have been countless people like Lao Zhangtou.

The value of Chu coins changes three times a day, even to the point that no one dares to accept them.

Because no one knows how much Chu Coin will lose when it comes to his own hands.

All this happened because of the large number of Chu coins that suddenly poured into Yecheng.

At the beginning, the appearance of Chu coins made people almost crazy.

This new copper coin is not only beautiful in appearance, but also in excellent condition.

Anyone who has to look at it knows what to choose.

As a result, someone started a large number of acquisitions.

Even if you don't hesitate to sell your property, you have to hold this rare copper coin in your hands.

Just like Lao Zhangtou, he held the Chu coin in his hand and waited for the value to increase.

And Chu coins have also climbed high, and at the most terrifying time, it has reached the point where two Chu coins can buy a sheep.

This scene made all the people and even officials in Yecheng excited.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Chu Coin would suddenly appear in a large amount.

The speed and number are unimaginable.

There are more Chu coins in the hands of ordinary people, and the Chu coins hoarded by those wealthy businessmen and officials have lost their due value.

So, they immediately began to sell in large quantities.

The value of Chu coins quickly began to decline, from two to buy a sheep, to twenty, forty, and finally even to a hundred.

This made Yecheng's economy show signs of collapse in an instant.

Prices are soaring, chaos is unbearable, and the people are miserable!

There are countless people who drag their families and put everything on it like Lao Zhangtou.

Yecheng also began chaos in just half a month...

…

"Bastard!"

Cao Pi smashed the wooden tablet in his hand to the ground and roared angrily.

The palace was empty, and only his angry voice echoed.

Pressing his swollen temples hard, Cao Pi took a deep breath.

He never thought that this small Chu coin would bring him great harm.

Originally, he was still glad that he did not stop the circulation of Chu coins, but now he fell into great remorse.

"Xu Tian..."

Cao Pi clenched his fists fiercely, and now the entire territory of Wei has begun to collapse economically.

Once the domestic economy collapses, the military is the first to suffer.

The soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the front line, if they can't do without the support of military salaries and grain and grass, Cao Pi can't imagine what the consequences will be.

"Call Sima Yi!"

Cao Pi whispered to the empty palace in a hoarse voice.

"No..."

In the shadows on the side, a figure of an attendant walked out.

After bowing respectfully to Cao Pi, he slowly left...

…

"When will the reinforcements arrive!"

The front line of Chang'an, among the Han army barracks.

Liu Bei looked at the food in front of him and didn't have a bit of appetite.

Rubbing his forehead, he asked Fa Zheng on the side.

"King Qihan, three days ago, the military division had already sent troops..."

Fa Zheng looked at the exhausted Liu Bei and sighed secretly.

The First World War of Chang'an seemed to have become a war of attrition for life.

There are no tactics, just the most primitive offense.

As the besieging party, the Han army suffered extremely heavy losses.

Although the defenders of Chang'an are now at the end of their strength.

But Fa Zheng knew very well in his heart that if reinforcements didn't come, they wouldn't be able to hold out for long!

"That's good!"

Liu Bei leaned weakly on the cushion behind him, trying to keep himself in a comfortable state.

He's so tired...

The army is dwindling every day, and the shadow of death and defeat lingers.

This made him, who was originally as firm as iron, also began to waver.

In other words, he is now in a dilemma.

The defenders of Chang'an have reached the end of their crossbows, and it is only a matter of time before they are taken.

It's just that now the Han army is also suffering heavy losses.

The reinforcements of the Wei army are also about to arrive, if you can't get them within three days, you will have to choose only failure!

What made Liu Bei most uneasy was that after Xu Tian arrived in Wancheng, he didn't make any moves.

made a look that he had given up, but Liu Bei knew very well in his heart that the other party was waiting.

Wait for a great opportunity, a chance to shoot.

"The real decisive battle is coming soon..."

Liu Bei muttered in a low voice and leaned his head on the cushion...

…

Yecheng.

Inside the Royal Palace.

Sima Yi walked briskly to the outside of the main hall.

After getting Cao Pi's permission, he gently took off his shoes and walked slowly into the main hall.

"Minister Sima Yi, meet Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi tidied up the official uniform on his body and bowed respectfully to Cao Pi.

"Come!"

Cao Pi beckoned to Sima Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, and motioned for him to come to his side.

Sima Yi, who stood up respectfully, lowered his head, quickly came to Cao Pi's side, and bowed again.

"Sima Gong, you once wanted to persuade me to stop this thing, I regret that I shouldn't keep Sima Gong's advice!"

Cao Pi let out a long sigh and threw a Chu coin on the table.

Just after glancing at the Chu coins on the table, Sima Yi lowered his head again.

"The current situation, Sima Gong must already know!

I want to hear Sima Gong's opinion, if this continues, Great Wei will definitely be in danger!

The matter is big, and I hope Sima Gongming will do it! ”

"It's a matter of state affairs, Sima Yi dares not to do his best!"

Sima Yi knelt down in front of Cao Pi again and said respectfully.

For Sima Yi, who behaved like this, Cao Pi unconsciously showed a smile.

"Your Majesty, today's plan is to control the number of Chu coins!

The most effective and easiest way is for the state to vigorously purchase Chu coins and control their quantity!

As long as the Chu coins circulating in the market are stabilized, it will be easy to do next! ”

Cao Pi's brows couldn't help but furrow tightly, he was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice.

"What does Sima Gong mean is that he wants Great Wei and Chu to fight a copper coin war?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Sima Yi's answer was simple and clear, confirming Cao Pi's thoughts.

Fighting a copper coin war with the State of Chu with his own national strength, Cao Pi knew what it meant.

You must know that Xu Tianke is the inventor of Chu coins.

And the current situation seems to have no choice for him...
