In addition to casting blades, Shangfang also has an important function - coinage, the world's coins, three points from here, after the imperial court took back the 'coinage right', Shangfang is the only place to mint coins, if you want to solve the problem of 'money shortage', here is the key to start!

The minting area is heavily guarded, three checkpoints inside and outside, layers of search, an embroidery needle also does not want to take out, dozens of coinage furnaces are working at the same time, copper water splashes, smoke is swirling, the scene is very spectacular, especially those craftsmen, it is actually naked labor, there is no clothing, this is also the rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, the coinage is heavy, naked in, naked out, do not take away a copper coin, otherwise, there is no forgiveness!

"Please check the new money, Prime Minister!" The mint carried a tray of freshly minted coins, stacked neatly and shiny!

"It feels good, has texture, the text is clear, and the production is exquisite, all of which are good copper coins!" Cao Cao took a few, and after carefully checking it, he nodded frequently, but Shangfang's craftsmanship is the best in the world, and several strategists are also full of praise, and the matter of unified minting coins can be implemented!

After the joy is over, everyone's brows are furrowed again, the better the coins, the rarer the circulation in the market, it won't be long before they will be hidden, human nature is like this, spend bad money, keep good money, and then destroy money to take copper, cast utensils, and finally the common people still have no money to use, and the money shortage continues!

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, there is a way for his subordinates, or they can control the matter of 'destroying money and taking copper'!" At the critical moment, the world's wizards made a move!

"Feng Xiao said quickly, as long as the money shortage can be controlled, the old man will obey!" Cao Cao's face was happy, the superiors all understood a truth, spears and fast horses can conquer the city, but they can't conquer the hearts of the people.

"When the Son of Heaven was in power, he issued a decree to change the Yuan-Jian'an, if the name of the Son of Heaven was engraved on the coin, see who would dare to destroy it at will!" Guo Jia picked up a few copper coins and looked at them repeatedly in his hand, revealing a cunning look!

"The word 'Jian'an' is engraved on the coin, wonderful, wonderful!"

"Fengxiao does not lose the geniuses of the world, it is so intimidating, those scholars should also be scrupulous!"

……………………………………………………

After listening to Guo Jia's method, everyone applauded, just engraved two more words on the coin, but it can play a big role, the reason is also very simple, those who destroy money and take copper are the gate lords of the Shi clan, these people are powerful and intertwined, even if they are imposed by laws and regulations, I am afraid that some people will take risks!

Destroying money to get copper, in the final analysis, is dealing with one's own property, not stealing or robbing, and it is difficult for the laws of the country to interfere, but the meaning of the emperor's year name is engraved on the copper coin, the meaning is very different, don't look at it is just two words, to a certain extent, it represents the emperor of heaven, ruining the coin, it is disrespectful to the emperor, the feudal dynasty, the crime of disrespect, can destroy the nine clans!

Thinking about it further, this is also a means of easing the contradiction, the palace, the prime minister's house, in order to compete for the highest power, has been fought several times, although Cao Cao with superb political wisdom, the little emperor has been suppressed, but also caused a lot of criticism, at least one 'power minister' reputation can not run, now the emperor's year name is engraved on the coin, but also to give the little emperor a little face, signaling that the last Han, is conducive to alleviating the contradiction between the two sides!

"It's very good to be filial piety, the old man should follow it, pass the order, and mint new coins in the future, all of which will be engraved with the name of the Son of Heaven, which is not only noble, but also can promote the prestige of my Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao has always valued real power and despised fame, as long as it is conducive to rule, he doesn't care about giving the little emperor a little face!

"No! ~ The Prime Minister is loyal to the country, and the world admires him! Everyone immediately bowed and saluted, this matter is indeed a good governance, which is conducive to the stable development of the country, and can alleviate the contradictions between the palace and the prime minister's house, killing two birds with one stone!

Then again, unifying the coinage rights of the whole country, adding the year name on the coin, and gradually replacing the old coins with new coins are all good ways to govern the country and secure the country, but there is also a weakness, that is, it takes a long time, the effect is slow, and the money shortage is getting worse and worse.

After a few turns of everyone's eyes, it fell on Xiao Yi again, they all knew that the prime minister was a scholar and a martial artist, his right hand and right hand, the strategies of the two people always complement each other, rigidity and softness, now Guo Jia's method has come out, according to the rules, Xiao Yi must also have a way, which can solve the urgent need!

There are two most difficult things in the world, one is to put one's own thoughts into other people's heads, and the other is to take other people's money into their own pockets.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Xiao Yi touched his little black face, desperately recalling his life in college, if he was not mistaken, and did not sleepwalk, when he was lazy, he also occasionally listened to some financial courses......

If you want to play finance well, you must learn to empathize, ten copper coins fell into the hands of Xun Yu, who represented the gate valve of the Shi clan and had a lot of money, Xiao Yi played the role of the white wolf with empty gloves, and the people who wanted to get the money into their own hands, and the others were spectators, and they comprehended the spirit from it!

"Mr. Wenruo, if you are robbed by force, how will you react?" Xiao Yi patted the saber on his waist, there is no money, but we have force!

"I'd rather give up my life than my wealth, and take my head away, but not my money!" Xun Yu is from a top scholar family, and he knows the character of the gate valve very well, all glass rats and glass cats, and he doesn't pull out a hair!

"If you borrow money under the court, the court will guarantee three times the annual interest, the risk is very small, how much is Mr. willing to borrow?" Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, and he returned to the demeanor of being a profiteer, just a pile of sand, and he had to squeeze out two taels of sesame oil!

"Triple the interest, and there is a guarantee from the imperial court, and I am willing to pay 20% of the money!" After Xun Yu thought about it for a while, he lost two copper coins in his hand, there are many ways for the scholars to make money, and although the triple profit is exciting, it will not be too risky!

"Okay, ten times the interest, the risk is slightly greater, how much can Mr. borrow?"

"Ten times the interest, even if it is risky, it is worth a try!" There are three less copper coins in Xun Yu's hand, and half of the family business has been sold!

"Very good, a hundred times the interest, half of the victory and half of the defeat, how much is the gentleman willing to pay?" There is a kind of magic in Xiao Yi's voice, as if it can drag people into the bottomless abyss!

"People die for money, birds die for food, if there is a hundred times the interest, not to mention half of success or failure, even if there is only one percent of the certainty, the old man is willing to fight, even if he risks killing his head, he will not hesitate!"

Xun Yu was very simple, and handed over all the copper coins in his hand, not counting it, even the jade pendant, seal, money bag, and ......robe on his body were all put into Xiao Yi's hands, and then looked at him directly!

The scholars can be called the most greedy class, full of benevolence and morality, a belly of male thieves and prostitutes, for sufficient benefits, they have nothing that cannot be sold, reputation, body, monarch, country, as long as there is money, buy their bones!

Well, the money is in Xiao Yi's hands, the problem of money shortage has been solved, he is also sitting on the crater, he can borrow this money because he promised a hundred times the interest, if he can't do it, hehe, people are penniless now, barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, if they don't pay back, they will work hard with you, they can't do it if they are less, a hundred times is a hundred times, a penny is missing, or work hard with you!

The strength of the gate valve of the Shi clan is well known, the three pillars of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs, relatives, and scholars, the first two have been wiped out, such as today's situation, the Shi family is dominant, if they are really desperate, even if they are as strong as Cao Cao, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand it!

The people present are all smart people, and they probably understand Xiao Yi's thinking, borrow the money of the Shi clan's gate valve, and then operate it, in exchange for more than 100 times the profit, so that all the problems can be solved, but what kind of business can have a hundred times the profit?

As we all know, farmers can get double the profits when they grow grain, merchants can get five times the profits when they sell silk and linen and cloth, and smugglers can get ten times the profits when they sell horses and blades.

"Hehe, I have a business, as long as it is operated properly, it is easy to make a hundred times more profits, but it needs a little opportunity!" Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Xiao Yi smiled and did not answer, that business is done, not to mention a hundred times, it is simply a million profits!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Just when everyone was secretly speculating about Xiao Yi's unique business, a personal soldier rushed in and knelt down on one knee to salute~ "Lord Prime Minister, the three sons have led troops to surround Shelu Mountain and block various intersections, and the people inside can't escape!" ”

"Well done, pass the order down - do it!" Cao Cao's spirits were lifted, he looked at the mountains in the distance, and let out a sneer, "It's time to give the Shi clan gate valve a blow to the head, let them know how powerful Cao Apu is!" ”

"No!"
