Zhen Yan's expression was serious, and he said: "In the next suggestion, please ask the lord to issue coins belonging to Jizhou in Jizhou." ”

Wang Lei was suddenly shocked, issuing coins belonging to Jizhou? This is something that defies the world's condemnation. Making money is the right of the imperial court, but Zhen Yan said it directly, which is really bold. Wang Lei quickly adjusted his mood, calmed himself down, and re-examined Zhen Yan in front of him. This man who started in business is really extraordinary.

Wang Lei calmed down and said, "Tell me your reason!" ”

"No!"

Zhen Yan responded respectfully, but in her heart, she was already faintly excited.

Opportunity!

This is his chance to fight for his rights!

Compared with Du Ji, Tian Feng, Xianpei, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others, Zhen Yan has no talent to act in internal affairs, let alone the ability to strategize; Compared with Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw and others, Zhen Yan does not have the peerless martial arts to charge on the battlefield, nor does he have the ability to sit in the military tent and dispatch troops.

However, compared with the civilian and military generals under Wang Lei, he is just a businessman.

Even if no one despises him, Zhen Yan is not reconciled.

The Zhen family has been tied to Wang Lei's chariot, if he stands still, then the Zhen family is just a businessman who has funded Wang Lei. As the power in Wang Lei's hands grows bigger and bigger, the role of the Zhen family is getting smaller and smaller. Zhen Yan is not stupid, on the contrary, Zhen Yan can become a big businessman who is famous in Jizhou, and he is even rampant in Zhongshan and has considerable means.

Where his strengths are, Zhen Yan knows very well.

Business! Make hay!

That's what he's good at.

However, Wang Lei is the lord of a state and is not short of money. In such a situation, Zhen Yan must not only be able to make money for Wang Lei, but also do things that are useful to Wang Lei, firmly obtain benefits for the Zhen family, and firmly gain Wang Lei's trust.

The opportunity is in front of us, and Zhen Yan must grasp it.

Zhen Yan said slowly: "My lord, Jizhou is located in the north, close to the border plug, because of the special location, there are many people engaged in business. Silk was sold or horses were sold, and commerce flourished. "However, no matter how prosperous Jizhou's commerce is, the control is not in the hands of the lord."

"Once the world's coins change, Jizhou's commerce will immediately be fatally affected. For example, when Dong Zhuo was in power before, Dong Zhuo took back the original five-baht coin and recast the copper coin. In an instant, the value of a copper coin immediately changed, and the things purchased by the same copper coin also changed. ”

"Jizhou's business was immediately impacted."

"In order to ensure the balance of Jizhou, and even, to let Jizhou's commerce affect the situation in all states in the world, the only way to mint copper coins belonging to Jizhou is to mint them. Jizhou business is prosperous, and when the copper coins of Jizhou circulate out, once the rest of the states use the copper coins of Jizhou, then Jizhou will firmly grasp the initiative and be of great help to the hegemony of the lord. ”

Zhen Yan's idea is not bold.

Jizhou recast copper coins, which is definitely the enemy of the imperial court. But the benefits mentioned by Zhen Yan also made Wang Lei excited.

"Someone!"

Wang Lei pondered for a moment and commanded.

"What does the lord command?" Zhou Tai walked in and hugged his fists.

Wang Lei instructed: "Immediately invite Jia Xu and Guo Jia to come to the study to discuss things." ”

"No!"

Zhou Tai turned around to give the order, while Wang Lei looked at Zhen Yan and said, "The suggestion is very good, but it is very difficult to operate." Although the emperor is a puppet, the emperor is still alive and well, and the Han is still there. Once Jizhou mints copper coins privately, it will have a great impact. ”

Zhen Yan thought for a while, and then said, "Does the lord know what the result is caused by the change of copper coins from time to time?" Copper coins are constantly changing, and the people do not trust copper coins, and many people do not use copper coins, but barter. ”

Wang Lei frowned and said: "People don't use money to shop, but barter, it's impossible." ”

Zhen Yan said: "Returning to the lord, this is an indisputable fact. Large quantities of goods, and when certain items need to be purchased, they are indeed purchased in coins. But at the bazaar, many people did not consider the coins to be reliable, preferring to barter. In fact, it is naturally good to buy with coins, but the people are worried that one day, the previous copper coins will not be able to be used, and they will die! ”

"Makes sense!"

After Wang Lei heard this, his expression became more and more solemn.

For commerce to truly prosper, bartering is absolutely not passable.

Bartering is the most primitive means of exchange.

The two chatted, and after a short time, Guo Jia and Jia Xu came to the study together. After the two saluted, they sat down, and Guo Jia said, "The lord is in a hurry to come to us, is there anything important?" ”

Wang Lei turned his eyes, looked at Zhen Yan, and motioned for Zhen Yan to say.

Zhen Yan organized the language and said, "Mr. Guo, Mr. Jia, here's the thing. In view of the frequent replacement of copper coins, once the copper coins change, it will have an impact on Jizhou's commerce. I suggest that the lord mint Jizhou money and stabilize Jizhou's commerce. Further, use the commerce of Jizhou and the copper coins circulated in Jizhou to influence the situation in the world. ”

After Jia Xu heard this, he looked at Zhen Yan in surprise.

In the past, Zhen Yan was cautious and cautious. From here, it is a bold man.

It's not easy to make such a suggestion!

Guo Jia pondered the feasibility of Zhen Yan's suggestion, and after a while, said: "The benefits of recasting copper coins are there, but they are too vague. On the contrary, it is the disadvantage of recasting copper coins, which I can clearly see. The lord recast the copper coin, which is bound to be blamed by the world. The example of Yuan Shaozhong's betrayal and separation from his relatives is about to be repeated. When the time comes, the lord will be blamed by the people of the world, and the popularity accumulated before will also be ruined. ”

There was a deep sense of worry in his tone.

Zhen Yan naturally knew the risks of recasting copper coins, but he was unwilling, and immediately defended: "Strategist, recasting copper coins will indeed have a huge impact, and it is risky. If successful, copper coins will inevitably be used to influence the situation in the states. Compared to the frontal fight on the battlefield, I think it is feasible to surrender the soldiers without a fight in business. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "It's very tempting, but it has great risks. For the sake of stability, I agree with Bonghyo's opinion. The risk of recasting a copper coin is too great, and it is tantamount to painting bread to satisfy hunger. Before the lord has achieved results, he may be stifled. ”

Guo Jia plus Jia Xu is already very heavy.

The opposition of the two people made Zhen Yan's heart rise with a strong sense of powerlessness. At this time, Zhen Yan could only look at Wang Lei, expecting Wang Lei to give an answer.

Guo Jia and Jia Xu's eyes also fell on Wang Lei.

Wang Lei kept thinking in his heart, Zhen Yan's suggestion was quite valuable in Wang Lei's opinion. The use of commerce to influence the situation in the remaining states is a model of economic warfare to crush each other by economic means.

"I think it works!"

In the study, there was a thunderclap in the flat ground, and Guo Jia and Jia Xu were startled at the same time.
