Chapter 166: The family is dissatisfied and threatens the government
'"Eastern Xianbei? This is not surprising. Xianbei was at war with the Xiongnu and could be destroyed at any time. Kebi couldn't defeat the Huns, so he could only ask for help from Badun. And Badun didn't want to see the Huns eliminate Xianbei, his lips were cold and his teeth were cold, how could he not help. Yuan Xi said.
"More importantly, if there is a shortage of food, we also need the help of Xianbei." Tian Chou Road.
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi retracted his gaze and said with a slight smile: "Since Xianbei has been removed and Xianbei's military strength has been enhanced, it will be more certain to have Tian Yu's help to fight against the Huns." I can also be completely relieved and return to Yecheng. ”
"General Tian Chou."
"Yes."
Tian Chou stepped forward.
Yuan Xi said: "After Xianbei and Wuhuan were repulsed, their strength was greatly damaged, and they did not dare to be my enemy again in a short period of time. But don't be careless. From Yanmen Pass in the west to Xuanfu County in the east, they are all under our jurisdiction. I will give you Hetian Yu 50,000 troops to garrison the Great Wall defense line. I hope that you will continue to protect the safety of the people. ”
"The last will obey." Tian Chou solemnly hugged his fists.
The burnt face is expressionless.
Ju Yi sighed secretly, extremely envious in his heart.
As a general under Yuan Xi, he has no actual military power and no outstanding martial arts, so it is difficult to be reused. Even Jiao Touch, Tian Yu, and Tian Chou can become generals on the border, and he still has to roll in the blood and water, and be suppressed by generals such as Zhang Jaw, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Gao Lan. I don't know when I'll be able to come out.
"General Jiao Touch, there are still many things in Youzhou waiting for you to deal with, you can return to Jixian County today." Yuan Xidao.
"No."
"Ju Yi's chariots were all handed over to Tian Chou's commander. Return to Yecheng with me. Yuan Xi commanded.
"No." Ju Yi rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Yes, this time there is not even a single soldier." ”

Jizhou.
Yecheng.
After several months of hard work, there has been significant progress in the implementation of the new currency. Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, and Guo Tu started the name of paper copper currency in the half-price market, so that the people of Yecheng knew that paper copper currency was worth more than five baht.
When all the goods in the market are sold out, the market is closed and the sale is stopped.
The government posted a notice to abolish the five-baht coin and implement paper copper currency.
As soon as the notice came out, the world shook!
The princes who didn't know the truth just woke up to the fact that Yuan Xi worked hard to open the market, not to be hot-headed, nor to act as a bad person, but to throw stones to ask for directions and implement new coins.
When the people of Yecheng saw the notice, they were very suspicious. They are afraid that after the market is closed, the paper copper currency will not be strong and will become a piece of waste paper, and they are all clamoring to exchange it for copper coins. The staff of Yecheng Money Bank, adhering to the instructions of the government, all those who come to exchange copper coins or paper money will be exchanged without the slightest hesitation.
In just a few days, millions of dollars were returned. The shops and trading places in Yecheng are also secretly using copper coins, and they are not implemented according to the notices issued by the government.
In order to solve this problem once and for all.
He summoned all the families and held a meeting to ask them to change the properties, shops, and restaurants under the name of the family to the mandatory use of paper copper money and boycott copper coins.
The families promised to be good, but after they go back, they should use copper coins, and they should also use copper coins.
When he found out, he was very angry. Threatening words. Those who dare to use copper coins are against the government, and at least they will seize their properties and confiscate their homes. In serious cases, they will be sent to prison pending trial.
The families took advantage of the situation to propose a fair and large wholesale of salt, paper and liquor.
He didn't agree.
He issued a proclamation clearly stipulating that paper copper currency is the first currency of the government and will be protected by the government. For all economic disputes, proof of SGD receipts is required. All taxes are also only recognized in Singapore dollars.
After the families returned, they deliberated.
Openly do not use it, secretly deal with merchants, or trade in copper coins.
Only the poor people, after learning of the government's determination, privately traded in Singapore dollars. I gradually began to believe in the credibility and value of paper copper currency. This is thanks to the half-price market some time ago, which made the name of the currency and gave the people time to adapt before the implementation of the new currency. And the emergence of money banks has established the credibility of money.
In general, the five-baht coin is already dead to the people, and the power of the family is still circulating.
this day.
Yuan Xi returned to Yecheng.
Fu Zhu told what happened, and said angrily: "The family is really hateful, and they want to threaten the government with this." The minister was worried that giving them a large amount of salt, Xi paper, and jade liquor in wholesale would enhance their strength, leading to a lot of disputes among Hebei families and affecting internal unity, so he did not agree. ”
"You're doing a great job."
Yuan Xi sat down slowly, supported his neck, relieved the fatigue of the long journey, and said: "The family pursues profits, and if they don't give them a little sweetness, they won't give up." However, at the cost of wholesale salt, Xi paper, and agar jade liquor, it is absolutely undesirable. ”
"I don't know what the lord does?" Frustrated asked.
"On the way back, I've thought about it carefully.... Yuan Xi was only halfway through his words, and then changed the topic: "Mr. Fu, do you know who is the leader among those family forces?" ”
"Hui Zhugong is the Wang family of Linlang Country in Xuzhou, and the head of the family is Wang Rong. After the Battle of Bathing, the Wang family was brought to Yecheng and settled in Yecheng, becoming the largest family except for the Zhen family, the Lu family, and the Cui family. Also the most influential. This time he confronted the government and refused to implement the new currency, which was provoked by him. The strange thing is that my Hebei families have responded. Frustrated.
"Does an alien family dare to be so presumptuous?" Yuan Xi laughed inexplicably and looked at Fu Zhu: "Have you ever thought about whether there is a greater force behind the Wang family?" ”
"Bigger power?" After thinking about it, he was shocked and said, "The lord is talking about Cao Cao?" ”
"If a foreign family wants to develop in Hebei, the most important thing is not to offend the government. He actually instigated the families of Hebei to confront the government, isn't this looking for death? Besides, the implementation of the new currency, such a big thing, Cao Cao and Yuan Tan, there was no action, isn't this abnormal? Therefore, I conclude that the Wang family must be Cao Cao's minions! He wanted to use the Wang family to incite the Hebei families to rebel and hinder the implementation of the new currency. ”
"What the lord said is very true."
Frustrated, he said with a solemn face: "The minister will immediately send someone to investigate." Expose Wang Rong's conspiracy, arrest relevant personnel, and then use Wang Rong's affairs to force all families to cooperate with the government and implement the new currency. ”
Frustrated, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute..."
Yuan Xi stopped him again: "Although the families were bewitched by Wang Rong, they went against the government. But in their hearts, they are still very resentful, thinking that I use the Zhen family too much and don't give them a way to live. After you exposed Wang Rong's conspiracy, you gave them a promise, saying that I am willing to develop another project, and the manufactured things will only be wholesaled to them, not to the Zhen family. In this way, their resentment should also be dissolved, right? ”
"The lord is wise."
Frustrated, he was ordered to leave.
As for what the project to be developed, he didn't ask much. Anyway, it's a gimmick, a strategy to appease the family, and when the matter of paper and copper currency is resolved, it's not too late to go back and negotiate with the family.
