When Ye Hua heard that Li Hongji paid the soldiers with a lot of money, he knew that the foundation of the Southern Tang Dynasty was gone.

Any indiscriminate issuance of currency, will cause serious consequences, in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued white deer skin coins, the world complained; Zhuge Liang issued Taiping 100 coins, and the people of Xichuan had dishes on their faces, and they couldn't eat enough; Song Renzong issued iron money, and the price of Kaifeng doubled. In the Yuan Dynasty, the treasure banknotes collapsed, the rebel armies rose up, and the Ming and Qing dynasties also had a similar situation, as well as more typical fiat currencies and gold yuan coupons...... All in all, the lessons are numerous.

In fact, Li Hongji didn't think of this, he specially issued a decree, requiring that in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it could only be used as five large coins at most, and it was also stipulated that only cities were allowed to use it, and military salaries must be used in full copper coins...... Despite these regulations, Li Hongji ignored them.

When the currency depreciates wildly, those big families can rely on the land, gold and silver, real estate, shops, etc. in their hands to maintain their value, and all the indiscriminate currency will be added to the heads of ordinary people.

Just imagine, why did the civil officials who received the money take it as five big coins, so why should they give the soldiers a full amount of copper coins.

Everyone was noisy, and even a brawl broke out, causing many civilian officials to strike and ask for leave, and the military generals took people to rob the warehouse...... Things are getting bigger and bigger, Li Hongji has no way but to take a compromise approach, his forbidden army must give full value of money, as for the garrisons in other places, it is to issue five big money.

But as soon as the mouth is opened, who can stop it.

When the five major coins become the ten major coins, and when the ten major coins become the hundred major coins, the original military rations are all converted into money, so that people from all over the country can buy military rations nearby.

The original military rations were secretly brought to the black market by officials at all levels by all levels to make huge profits.

The soldiers took it as a hundred dollars, and they couldn't buy military rations, and they wouldn't go hungry, so they had to rob and steal...... Originally, Li Hongji was in Jinling, with hundreds of thousands of horses, and the people below did not dare to come nonsense, but after he went to Yangzhou to supervise the war, chaos was brewing everywhere in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, especially in the Jiangnan region, where the troops were empty.

The miners and the common people raised trouble, the soldiers made trouble, the civil and military conflicts, the garrisons robbed the warehouses, and attacked the government offices...... This kind of thing is not uncommon.

And what's even worse is that Li Hongji also introduced newspapers.

He originally wanted to use newspapers to attack and slander Da Zhou and maintain the morale of the people, but his idea was completely frustrated.

In the face of the chaotic situation and the turmoil, many literati stood up and pointed the finger at Li Hongji, and the common people became more and more disbelieving in those articles in the newspapers.

On the contrary, in many newspapers, "clips" appeared.

For example, the front-page article scolded the Great Zhou for cruelty to scholars, harsh governance, and tyrannical expropriation. In the clip page, it is introduced to the Great Zhou Dynasty to implement the integrated payment of grain by the gentry and reduce the land endowment. In addition, local checkpoints will be abolished to encourage the circulation of commercial goods. Others took the risk of writing down what they saw with their own eyes and sending them back to Gangnam.

For example, prices in the Great Zhou Dynasty were stable, the people were rich and healthy, the streets were clean and tidy, and there was not a single beggar. The people in the countryside are honest and simple, and every household has a grain deposit......

Two completely different points of view collided fiercely, and more and more businessmen pinned their hopes on Da Zhou.

This mood came so quickly, especially after the surrender of Changzhou, Jiangnan was even more shaken. The Great Zhou soldiers can attack Jinling at any time.

At this time, news came from another important town, Shezhou was besieged by miners, tens of thousands of miners, cut off all roads around Shezhou, cut off contact.

The people in the city were panicked and demoralized.

Suddenly, there was a legend that Li Hongji had been defeated in Yangzhou, His Majesty was shot to death by the Great Zhou, and a battalion of men and horses in the city fled from the city overnight, wanting to join the miners.

The guard general Liu Cheng, Marquis of Duyu, knew in advance that he would lead people to surround and annihilate the fleeing men and horses.

Although he temporarily kept Shezhou, Liu Cheng was physically and mentally exhausted, and he also knew that it was difficult to maintain, so he took the initiative to announce that he would take refuge in the Great Zhou, hang up the banner of the Great Zhou, and go out of the city to make peace with the miners' rebels.

Shezhou is lost, and the movement is even bigger than Xuanzhou!

Because this is the main transportation road connecting the south, Shezhou was lost, and the north and south of the Southern Tang Dynasty have actually been cut off.

Immediately afterwards, in the south of Xinzhou, Fuzhou, and farther away Jianzhou, Yong'an Army, Tingzhou, Qianzhou...... These places, either hung up the banner of the Great Zhou, announced their surrender, or took the city to protect themselves, or were captured by the miners, in short, they were all out of the control of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Master Hou, the old man asks for an order, go to Jianzhou and other places."

Pan Chengyou took the initiative to ask for an order, these places in Jianzhou originally belonged to the scope of Fujian, and Pan Chengyou still had some fame, so he could recruit these people and horses when he went.

Ye Hua said with a smile: "Mr. Pan is willing to work for the country, naturally he can't ask for it, I can take out a million yuan now, what does Mr. Pan think?" ”

Pan Chengyou rubbed his hands and hesitated: "It won't be a hundred dollars, right?" ”

Ye Hua laughed, "It's real money!" It has just been shipped from the Wa Kingdom. ”

Just as Ye Hua was heading, an old man in a brocade robe didn't say a word, but the corners of his mouth turned up, showing the pride in his heart. This is none other than Taifu Chai Shouli.

The imperial court was always short of money, and Chai Shouli was also heartbroken, he found that the mining technology of the Wa Kingdom was too backward, so he got a group of craftsmen from the Great Zhou to help the Wa State mine gold and silver.

This time, he rushed to Jiangnan with a full 580,000 taels of silver, not only to relieve his master's worries, but also to help his son clean up people's hearts.

At this moment, Chai Shouli straightened his waist straight, and his old face was flushed, which was called a complacent.

Look, 580,000 taels of silver!

How many people in the world can take it?

The old man took it out without blinking his eyes!

For the sake of my son's country, I have done my best, see which of you still dares to criticize the old man? If you have the ability to stand up, believe it or not, the old man will shave your ears and slap you to death.

Pan Chengyou looked at the boxes of silver, and his eyes were spent.

Chai Shouli said in a sullen voice: "This is silver, and there are 30,000 taels of gold, plus 200,000 Jianlong Tongbao of the Great Zhou." This money is enough for you to appease the land of Fujian? ”

"Enough is enough!"

Pan Chengyou hurriedly said: "Taifu is generous, I am grateful." ”

Chai Shouli said twice, "Okay, it's all for Da Zhou, you can rest assured, Da Zhou has always been generous to his own people." The old man not only gives money, but also benefits. The old man is willing to purchase tea and porcelain from Fujian, you go and tell the merchants of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, as long as you are willing to cooperate, the big guys will get rich together! ”

"Hey!"

Pan Chengyou happily agreed, with money, plus orders, to appease Fujian, and there was a settlement.

He took Xu Wenzhi and Sun Decheng and left Changzhou overnight, leaving only one Zheng Yanhua to obey Ye Hua's dispatch. In fact, among the four generals under Pan Chengyou, Ye Hua values Lin Renzhao and Lin Huzi the most!

This guy was born in Fujian, but he is loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty and has great courage.

In history, Chai Rong conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty three times, and Lin Renzhao led his troops to rescue, because he was brave in battle, repeatedly made military exploits, and climbed rapidly. Even Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde suffered in his hands, and they hated this person to the core.

It can be said that Lin Renzhao is the only bright spot in the process of the Southern Tang Dynasty fighting against the reunification of the Central Plains.

In the original history, in order to get rid of this stumbling block, Zhao Kuangyin set up a divisive plan, Li Yu was stupid with a cup of poisonous wine, killed Lin Renzhao, and destroyed the Great Wall, and soon the Southern Tang Dynasty perished, and Li Yu also got a cup of poisonous wine...... Of course, history has completely changed now.

If Li Yu went to be the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty again, he would definitely not poison Lin Renzhao.

It's just that although the situation has changed, Lin Renzhao is still very powerful!

The other three kidnapped Pan Chengyou and surrendered to the Great Zhou, and he actually led more than 1,000 people under his command to break out of the encirclement and go straight to Jinling.

Ye Hua was very sorry that he failed to surrender Lin Renzhao, but his stubborn temper also came up, didn't you surrender to Da Zhou, Lao Tzu forced you to surrender!

There were many generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Lin Renzhao was the one who was worth cultivating.

Ye Hua found that with Xuancheng, Shezhou, and the southern states and counties breaking away from the Southern Tang, he no longer had to worry about the flanks being attacked.

At present, the forces of the Southern Tang Dynasty have retreated to the line of the Yangtze River.

Zheng Bin of Runzhou will still do his best to hold on, it will be difficult to capture it, and attacking Runzhou will attract Li Hongji's 300,000 troops to return at any time, which is not good.

After Ye Hua weighed it, he decided to take Zheng Yanhua as the vanguard, he and Han Xizai took 30,000 horses, led the army with Yang Ye and Fu Zhaoxin, and took Jinling directly, leaving Yang Chongxun to guard Changzhou, as for Wei Renpu, he was sitting in Suzhou and dispatching military grain and grass.

Speaking of which, there are still too few people who can use it at hand, but there is no way, how can you wait until everything is ready before getting into the pot!

"Brothers, when you enter Jinling City, I invite the big guy to Qinhuai River to drink!"

Ye Hua's words attracted everyone's laughter, don't look at the fact that he has just returned to Shun, but the big guys like Ye Hua very much, this champion Hou has no shelf, and it is easy to get along with.

Mao San has a deep understanding of this, and Ye Hua actually knows about marrying his daughter-in-law. Moreover, Ye Hua, as a person who came over, also took the trouble to tell him, don't look for too beautiful, don't look for too capable, be honest and obedient, and live a good life.

Mao San nodded frequently when he heard this, he held the banner high, walked in front of the whole army, his face was shining, he suddenly waved the flag vigorously, and shouted: "Kill into Jinling - marry a daughter-in-law!" ”
