"Shi Lingling Liu Ba proposed to cast a hundred coins, level the prices, and make the officials the official market, and the treasury was enriched in a few months."

Sun Quan frowned and said: "If you cast a hundred coins, you can enrich the treasury in a few months, is there really such a good thing?" ”

Bu Qi smiled and said: "The lord only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." The straight 1005 baht coin is a big coin minted by Liu Bei according to Liu Ba's policy, which is about three times the weight of the original Shu 5 baht coin, but it has to be used as a hundred Shu 5 baht, and those who do not accept the straight 1005 baht will be killed. The minting and issuance of this coin is actually plundering the wealth of the people. ”

"It is vain to laugh at Liu Bei for claiming benevolence and righteousness, but now he is borrowing a lot of money and looting it on a large scale, what is the difference between this move and Dong Zhuo's small money?"

Sun Quan heard that minting a lot of money can be used to plunder the people's wealth and enrich the treasury, and he bowed his head slightly.

But he didn't know what Liu Bei's matter of casting a lot of money had to do with the soldiers of Tired Yizhou, and he couldn't help but show a questioning expression on his face.

Seeing this, Bu Qi said: "When the lord first came to Jiangling, he brought trillions of copper coins, in the opinion of the ministers, you might as well return these copper coins to the furnace to cast into a straight hundred and five baht coins in Shu, only three five baht coins of copper, you can cast a straight hundred coins in Shu, and then smuggle this batch of copper coins to Shu for use, so that our three coins can be used as a hundred coins." ”

"Yizhou famous products, no more than Shu brocade, a good Shu brocade can be worth 20,000 yuan, the medium is worth 10,000 yuan, and the inferior is also worth 5,000 yuan. The lord may wish to send someone to rise by two percent of the market price and go to Shuzhong to buy it on a large scale. In fact, for us, we only need to spend one or two percent of the market price of copper coins, and we can make the most of it! ”

"What's more, the copper mountain of my Wu land is widely spread, and this coin can be minted in a steady stream. One day Liu Bei doesn't notice the truth in it, one day I can be the enemy because of food, and in time, it will be the trend of exhausting my surplus! ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he slapped the battlements and said with great joy: "This plan is wonderful!" That's a great plan! ”

At this time, Bu Qi said again: "The minister still has a plan to offer." ”

Sun Quan only said that it was already a very clever strategy to privately cast a hundred and five baht coins in Shudi, and he didn't want Buqi to have a strategy.

He seemed to be tickled all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked: "Zishan, Zishan, don't hang your lonely appetite, please say it quickly!" ”

Bu Qiu smiled slightly and said: "In the past, Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei in Longzhong: To capture Bashu and create a great cause, it is necessary to 'build Zhurong in the west and Yiyue in the south'. Does the lord know what's going on? ”

Sun Quan said: "Zhuge Liang's Longzhong is famous for his fame, and Lone naturally knows it. ”

Bu Qi slowly bowed his head and continued; "Zhurong refers to the Qiang people and Di people in the northwest border; And Yiyue refers to the Suo, Yan, and Pu people who have lived in the south of Yizhou for generations. ”

Sun Quan said: "Zishan is well-read. ”

Bu Qi bowed and said: "It's really because there is a road in Jiaozhou that leads to the south and central areas of Yizhou, and there are occasional business trips between the two places. When the minister was in Jiaozhou, he heard a lot about the affairs of Nanzhong. ”

After a pause, he said: "As far as the minister knows, the forces in Yizhou Nanzhong are complicated, and there are probably three forces: the big surname, the government, and the Yiren. ”

"The big surname is the Han immigrants in the pre-Han period, who not only owned tuntian, but also owned tuntian households in Nanzhong. Tuntian households can cultivate and fight, cultivate in peacetime, and serve as soldiers in wartime, which is to rely on the 'tribe' of the big surname. The big surname relies on the possession of the tribe and lives in Nanzhong for many generations, and its power is enough to call the wind and rain and claim the king and hegemony. ”

"On behalf of the imperial court, the people who guard the counties in the south are for the Taishou. The surname is the leader of the soldiers, and he is a subordinate official. Taishou and Da surnames are both interdependent and exploit each other, but they also often conflict with each other. When the imperial court was powerful, the big surname relied on the Taishou; When the power of the imperial court declined, the surname was proud to lead the troops. ”

"In addition, there are people all over the country. Its leader is called 'Yi Shuai'. Taishou ruled the local Yi people through Yi Shuai. The relationship between Yi Shuai and Taishou is like that of Taishou. When the court was powerful, Yi Shuai obediently surrendered; When the imperial court was weak, Yi Shuai was unruly. ”

When Bu Qi said this, he suddenly paused, looked at Sun Quan, and saw that he was listening with relish, so he continued:

After Liu Bei was pacified, he began to run Nanzhong, and first sent Deng Fang to serve as the governor of Zhu Ti Taishou and the governor of the capital, trying to incorporate Nanzhong into the territory, but encountered a lot of resistance from the local surname and Yi Shuai. Now that Liu Bei has lost Jingzhou, his prestige has diminished, and he is afraid that the people in Nanzhong are ready to move. ”

"The minister thinks that Nanzhong is the heart of Yizhou, and we can use gold and silver to persuade Nanzhong to rebel, so that Liu Bei will be difficult to look east before pacifying Nanzhong."

"What a plan!"

Sun Quan was full of smiles, the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt, he rubbed his hands again and again, turned around and paced two steps quickly, suddenly grabbed Bu Qi's hands, and sighed: "Zishan is really a man of humerus, and the prime minister is also a talent!" ”

Just as the depression in his chest was swept away, and he was about to laugh out loud, a herald soldier flashed out under the city wall, with a sad face, and cried:

"Enlightened Lord! This morning, General Lu ...... He died! ”

******

On February 22, the twenty-fifth year of Han Jian'an (220 AD), Cao Cao traveled lightly and returned to the town of Xudu.

Xu Du, a place where he was born, grew up and started in Si.

For more than 30 years, Cao Cao traveled all over the world, killing all over the Yellow River, and riding through the northwest border, the coast of the East China Sea, and the Yangtze River.

Along the way, what accompanied him in his life was the artemisia in his mouth, the sea in his eyes, and the longevity of the turtle in his heart.

After going around in a big circle, on this day, Cao Cao returned to the starting point of his life.

On this day, he suffered from another head disease, and after drinking a bowl of hot porridge, he went to bed early to rest.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and a bowl of hot porridge was in my stomach, and I completely turned into a sweat.

But when he woke up at this time, Cao Cao only felt that his head didn't hurt anymore, his eyes didn't dazzle, and his spirit was very strong.

He knows that there is a return to light before death, and he knows that the moment that belongs to him is coming.

Sitting upright on the couch, Cao Cao thought carefully, for the inheritance of the throne and the arrangements for the future, all arrangements had been made, and he didn't need to spend any more time.

After letting go of all his worries, he suddenly wanted to take a walk around the "Sword Shrine".

It is rumored in the world that Cao Cao likes to collect women from the vanquished, and this is indeed true; But there is another, less well known: he also has a penchant for collecting weapons from the vanquished.

These weapons are housed in a place called the "Sword Shrine".

In the dead of night, the bright moon is like a hook, and the excitement is rising.

Cao Cao immediately ordered his attendants to lift Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife, set up the wine, and trembled to the door of a very secret house in the depths of the mansion.

Through the dim light of the lantern, I saw that the word "Sword Shrine" was engraved on the door of the house.

Cao Cao didn't stop and pushed the door in.

As the attendants lit the oil lamps in the house one by one, the room was as bright as day for a while.

As far as the eye can see, the walls are surrounded by weapon racks, lying or standing, displaying all kinds of dazzling or mighty weapons.
