In the monetary reforms of all dynasties, the last and most vulnerable to injury from this was often ordinary people.

The government issues this inferior currency, but when it comes time to collect taxes, some unscrupulous magistrates either do not accept this inferior currency, or they will adopt the method of discounting the money to exploit the common people.

Jin Jue hemorrhaged this time, and collected Dong Zhuo's five baht money from the people in Hanzhong County and other places in Yizhou currently controlled by Jin Jue's army, which was to use his own strength to compensate for the losses of some people.

Even if some people or scholars are not grateful to Jin Jue for this, Jin Jue doesn't care.

After completing the siege task next year, he will start to mint new money in Yizhou, and take secret investigations and send troops to clean up those families or forces on the ground in Yizhou who dare to mint coins privately.

Of course, Jin Jue will not honestly mint the very good five-baht coins issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, Jin Jue will collect craftsmen from Hanzhong County and Yizhou to study new styles and more copper-saving coin minting methods, and promote them to the whole of Yizhou.

As in the TV series, the Yongzheng Emperor ordered the officials who minted the coins to make copper coins in the ratio of copper four lead six, or copper five lead five. At that time, the coins minted in Shu with the ratio of copper four lead six will account for the vast majority of the coins issued by Jin Jue.

There are few copper mines in Bashu, but there are few copper mines that have been discovered in the four counties of Nanzhong, so Jin Jue is not worried about the source of copper mines.

Don't underestimate the important role of coins in the economic development of a place.

The common people always traded in the form of barter, which was very detrimental to the development of the economy.

As a traverser, I have a deep understanding of this.

However, such a small policy of benefiting the people has allowed Jin Jue to win the favor of many local people.

Even some money-greedy people knew Jin Jue's habits, and they really sent their wives and daughters who thought they were good-looking to the county government in the new capital.

Seeing this, Fu Gan did not dare to be self-conscious, but immediately sent someone to report the matter to Jin Jue.

Soon, Jin Jue personally wrote a letter and gave very detailed instructions.

The women who took the initiative to be sent to the door by their families, among them, those who were not married, as long as they were not born too ugly, were all bought back at the market price. When the time comes, Jin Jue will let Jin Jue's military officers at or above the rank of commander choose by themselves according to their military merits, and if there are civil officials such as Fu Gan who fancy them, they can also be selected among them first and accepted as concubines.

However, Jin Jue specifically pointed out that a person can only accept one woman.

In ancient times, even if a woman with a little grace married a scholar or an officer as a concubine, it was far better than marrying an ordinary person.

Of course, among civil officials, if someone is willing to marry an ordinary woman as a wife, Jin Jue allows him to accept one more woman.

And those women who have married and even given birth to children, if there are really very beautiful women among them, they might as well stay, such women are left in the homes of the people, or in the hands of those who tend to be inflammatory, but it is only a kind of sorrow, and it is really possible to turn into a disaster. Even if it weren't Jin Jue, with the quality of their husband's family or their mother's family now, they would be treated as a commodity again in the future and traded to others.

Of course, Jin Jue is also special, such a woman, even if she is really a beautiful woman, she can only exchange it for money. If anyone wants the woman in exchange for power, official position or land, they will refuse it.

Not only that, Fu Gan also has to secretly record the money of those who are unwilling to exchange money, and wait until next year, after Jin Jue leads the army to besiege the entire city of Chengdu, he will send his subordinates to directly lead troops to these people's homes to rob the women back.

After all, in this world, there are really not many women who are really born with national beauty and fragrance, so Jin Jue does not have too much burden in his heart when he does this kind of thing that hurts the peace of the world.

Not to mention him, even if the two old men in Jin Jue's army, Fifth Inspector and Wei Duan, who were upright, knew about this kind of thing, they would praise Jin Jue's handling method.

In their opinion, saving beautiful women from those bad families is saving these women.

This kind of thing is not too new in later generations, not to mention, this is in ancient times.

It's just a small episode, in fact, it's this makeshift teahouse outside the new capital that is where the main event of the market takes place.

When Changyu entered the teahouse with his two juniors, he was led by Xiao Er to a secluded corner and sat down.

This temporary teahouse is not small, it was built in a short time by the carpenters brought by Jin Jue from Luoyang County, using a mix of wooden mortise and tenon structures and red bricks.

The teahouse is a small two-storey building, facing south and back, and the walls on the northeast, east and west sides are all made of red bricks. The first floor is about one zhang two or three high, the south side is fully open, there is no gate, and there is no curtain, the whole is a big transparent, the people in the grain and well salt shop opened by the Jin Juejun on the opposite side, and they can see clearly the people sitting on the first floor of the teahouse when they look up.

Of course, the people in the teahouse can also see what is happening in the shop opposite.

As for the second floor, the entrance to the corridor seems to be guarded, and I don't know who is sitting on it.

After sitting down, Zhang Yuchao glanced around, he had always been calm, and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the people sitting in the teahouse.

There is actually a Yizhou person who Zhang Yu knows sitting here.

For example, Langzhong Zhou Qun, who is as famous as Changyu, is Nan'an Feishi, Luoyang Mengguang, Xinye Laimin, Furen Yin Mo, and his villager Li Ren, by the way, and Jianyuan Li Hui, who Jin Jue specially sent Liu Shan to Yizhou County to look for, are all already sitting in the teahouse.

Zhang Yu didn't like to be an official, so when he was young, he traveled to many places in Yizhou and met many Yizhou scholars.

However, these people gathered here, not for a meeting, but to explore the reality and intentions of Jin Juejun, they all have their own hearts and purposes, so they have no intention of talking here for the time being.

The others were here, and Zhang Yu was not too surprised, but it was Lai Min, whose intention to come here made him really a little puzzled.

Laimin, the word Jingda, Yiyang New Savage, after coming to She. His father Yan, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, achieved the empty position of the three companies of the Han Dynasty. During the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lai Min fled to Jingzhou with his brother-in-law Huang Wan.
