The Jin State repeatedly banned, and even the government sent troops to patrol, but it had little effect.

This is due to the booming trade between the two countries over the past few years.

First, money breeds corruption, in recent years, the trade between the Jin State and the Cangguo State, the border market can be said to be full of oil and water, the so-called collusion between officials and businessmen, and the major caravans and the local government have a relationship that cannot be seen.

Even if the smuggling is caught, under some operation, both sides will take what they need, and they will naturally be safe.

Some officials were caught in the hands of the caravan.

In other words, most of the smuggling caravans were originally involved by government-level forces and took advantage of the opportunity to make money.

The second is transportation.

Over the years, due to the large amount of trade and trade, the mutual market on the border between the two countries is simply as many as a cow's hair, and there are countless roads, and if the government cracks down, it will not be able to cover everything at all, just like holding a glass of water to fight a fire, and in the face of huge profits, those smuggling caravans do not care much about this risk.

Third, it is the psychology of risk aversion.

Both Cang and Jin have declared war on each other, and in the hearts of Jin merchants, the Jin State does not have a very big chance of winning.

If the Jin Kingdom loses, then holding a large handful of banknotes in his hand is equivalent to ensuring that he can continue to enjoy a good life.

If Cangguo loses, it's nothing, after all, there is still a group of nobles on it, and there is no need to worry.

People have the psychology of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and the merchants of the Jin Kingdom are no exception, holding real paper money in their hands, so they will not panic.

This is the case in the Jin Kingdom, and even more so in the Kang Kingdom, but because there is a war on the border between the two countries, prices have risen more slowly.

By the end of March, the price of goods had risen to a very terrifying level, taking the price of rice as an example, the price of rice in the Jin Kingdom had risen fivefold, the price of salt and iron had also risen more than three times, and the prices of the rest of the goods had also risen.

In the Jin Kingdom, there was a surge of hunger and riots.

The imperial court is also gloomy, it is not yet April, there are still a few months before the grain harvest, and the grain has been scarce to such a point.

At the same time, Nguyen Quoc was facing the same problem.

It's just that, under Ruan Cairui's instructions, I found something different.

For example, after the three Shen and Wu Ling, many of the rice and grain business of the family family stopped, and within the scope of the government's influence, the business with the Wu Kingdom also stopped a lot, and the money and grain transactions were much less than half a month ago.

However, in the end, it was found that the rise in the price of rice and grain did not stop there.

After some investigation and research, the court of Ruan Guo discovered that the problem was in the banknotes.

On the market, many new banknotes have appeared!

A large part of these banknotes are brand new, and all of them are worth one hundred!

In terms of years, the marks are all 20 years of Taiding!

Some of these banknotes were brought in by smugglers, and some of them could not be traced to their source at all, and they seemed to appear out of thin air.

Later, by chance, the person in charge of tracing the source of paper money in the imperial court saw in a small town that someone was carrying bags of paper money and spreading charity on the street, and also telling stories and promoting the idea of prosperity and strength of the country.

reported layer by layer, and finally reached Ruan Cairui's ears.

After thinking about it all night, Ruan Cairui suddenly figured out one thing and broke out in a cold sweat.

At the beginning, when Cangguo first issued the big cangcoin, she was also present, for which Cangguo also established a state trade alliance to implement the settlement of the big cang, and then Cangguo completely abolished the silver transaction, and at the same time allowed countries to exchange silver on a small scale.

This gave the countries a reassurance, after discovering the benefits of the big cang, there were no scruples, after more than ten years of development, the countries have been completely inseparable from paper money, such as the Jin and Fan countries to incorporate the big cangs into the legal tender of the country, the proportion of silver circulation, has been very little.

Over the years, the circulation of paper money has been very stable, and there will be no depreciation due to the mining of new silver mines, so countries are very relieved to use it, and some families and even national coffers have begun to store paper money.

The transactions of ordinary people are also accustomed to using the unit noun "block" to carry out transactions and settlements.

Leaving aside the governments of various countries, to a certain extent, the status of the big cang, which is called paper money in various countries, has become more important than silver.

Ruan Cairui suddenly remembered that the paper money is the big cang coin, and the big cang coin was printed by the court of the cangguo, in the peaceful era when all countries are peaceful, in order to stabilize prices, cangguo will definitely not print too many cang, so as not to interfere with the market and shrink the money in the hands of the people.

But what about once it comes to wartime?

Ruan Cairui finally thought of the most critical point!

In fact, it is no wonder that Ruan Cairui only remembered it at this time, because in this world, there is no concept of finance, and there is no common sense of economics.

No one knows what inflation is.

Therefore, when Cangguo issued currency indiscriminately in these countries, it led to a large wave of inflation, and when the paper money in the hands of those ordinary people turned into a pile of waste paper, Ruan Cairui finally understood this truth.

The conspiracy of the Cangguo!

"It's horrible!"

Thinking of this, Ruan Cairui broke out in a cold sweat, which was terrifying.

Suppose an ordinary family has 100,000 yuan of paper money at home, and when inflation comes, the price of goods has increased several times, and he finds that he can only buy 20,000 yuan of paper money with this 100,000 yuan banknote.

Isn't this equivalent to the fact that the common people have suffered a wave of looting for no reason?

Thinking about it carefully, Ruan Cairui immediately convened a group of ministers to discuss, and after hearing about His Majesty the Emperor's inference, a layer of fine sweat broke out on the faces of the ministers.

This is not only about the interests of the country, but also about the interests of the major families.

Following Ruan Cairui's train of thought, as soon as the ministers discussed, they all decided that this was a conspiracy of Cangguo, which had been laid out for more than ten years, and it was deliberately triggered at this time, just to make the people uneasy.

The so-called rise in the price of rice and grain is just an inducement, after all, after paper money is put on the market, it takes a certain amount of time to slowly spread through circulation, and it is difficult to have the effect of riots and panic.

Therefore, Cangguo deliberately pushed up the price of rice grain, in fact, it was just an inducement, as long as the price of rice and grain rose, then the depreciation of paper money was like a runaway carriage, going farther and farther on the downhill road, unable to stop.

Of course, these ministers will not understand that the so-called currency is only a symbol of general equivalent, just like silver, which has no value in itself, but because of its just right scarcity, it is used as money, which can be exchanged and become valuable.
