Chapter 123: Someone Makes Trouble

Yesterday's update chapter error.,It turned out to be one hundred and twenty-two chapters written into one hundred and twelve chapters.,It's the carelessness of Xiaoyao.,If it causes you a lot of inconvenience.,I'm here to compensate for it! I'm sorry!

Text: When Kong Ming heard this, he was slightly anxious in his heart, if this really happened, it would indeed be a fatal blow to Shuzhong, especially now that the most serious price increase is iron products, and even raw silk, pulp, tendon horns, and dansha, this kind of thing is related to the next development of Shuzhong.

The influence of silk and iron tools is particularly significant, related to the most important Pingqiang policy in the Hanzhong strategy, if the Pingqiang policy is blocked, the corresponding Northern Expedition will also be delayed, as the saying goes, the outside must first be settled, the family is a mess, how to fight?

The feather fan in his hand waved slowly, and Kong Ming's eyes stared at the bookcase, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, the other four didn't dare to disturb easily, to be honest, since the departure of the first emperor, they have gradually formed the habit of relying on Kong Ming to make decisions in case of major events, which is not only caused by Kong Ming's status, but also caused by his long-term refusal to delegate power.

But fortunately, this time Kong Ming still did not disappoint everyone, his eyes returned to his senses, Kong Ming looked up at Meng Guang, and said with a slight smile; "Xiaoyu, you just said that the price of iron and silk has risen particularly seriously?"

"Back to the prime minister, at this time, this is what the minister has privately investigated and measured today, not only silk, ironware, but also salt, fish, and even the price of wine in the wine shop has also risen sharply, the original money now only has half of the purchasing power, and panic has been born among the people, if it is not dealt with in time, the minister is worried that the consequences will be more serious!"

After patiently listening to Meng Guang's answer, Kong Ming seemed to be more sure of something, and then spoke: "This matter is very strange!" Although Liu Zichu's policy of 100 baht money at that time had great drawbacks, it was also able to enrich the national treasury and reserve funds for our army's next strategic deployment. ”

"Not only that, but at the beginning of this matter, I also discussed with the first emperor for a long time, at that time, according to the annual issuance of copper coins and the estimated level of purchasing power in the market, it was inferred that there would not be too much business crisis in at least 30 years, and this time the price rise was too large, and at the same time it was too hidden, there was no sign before the outbreak, and there was no room for anything after the outbreak, and it seriously threatened the market in two days, so a certain guess is definitely deliberate!"

"And before, according to Xiaoyu, the fastest rise is silk, ironware, salt, fish, wine, these things, which is more certain of Liang's speculation, just imagine, if the price rise is spontaneously formed, the origin point should be the people, should be the people, salt, fish and other ingredients The price increase is normal, but other things, injected into silk, iron, wine is inevitably a little abnormal."

"Iron tools are mainly some agricultural tools and living tools, how much can these be used? In addition, there are not many people who buy alcohol, and even if they do, they are reluctant to do so, because they still have money to spend the winter! Even if they buy wine, what about silk? His Majesty developed the economy and improved the silk weaving industry, although due to the incentive policy, the people could have a brocade in their hands a month, but it was only one horse. ”

"How can we affect the entire market economy in two days?"

Listening to Kong Ming's detailed analysis, Dong Yun, Yi and the other four people all nodded slightly from time to time, which they did not find, or this was something they did not expect.

"After thinking about it, after Xiaoyu repeatedly confirmed, for these things that have risen sharply, most of them are in the hands of the imperial court, and the silk weaving industry is one of the means for the imperial court to grasp the economy, in addition, there are ironware, fish, wine, these are the main areas of economic development in Shuzhong."

"Why do fish rise so much more than pigs, sheep, cows, ducks and geese? Just because the imperial court built a large number of fish markets and developed fisheries, if a certain is not mistaken, the economic problems of the fishery should first appear in the Yong'an and Fuling areas, which are close to the river, and the imperial court has also vigorously developed fisheries there according to local conditions, in addition to the imperial court has also built a series of facilities such as smelters and wine shops. ”

"This coincides with the most serious category of rising goods? Is it a coincidence? Of course not, this is someone deliberately targeting my Shuzhong economy. ”

"Could it be Soochow?" Meng Guang seems to have grasped the key point, the prime minister once said that the economic collapse of the fishing industry came from Yong'an and Fuling, and it was close to Soochow, so it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious.

Without Kong Ming's judgment, Deng Zhi took the lead in denying it: "Impossible, my Shu resisted the attack of Wei, but it also lost a lot, and Dongwu still retains a lot of strength, and the minister has the courage to say bluntly, my Shu is at the top of the three kingdoms of Shu, Wu and Wei, and Wei is the strongest. ”

"It may not be possible to rule out that Eastern Wu will go the opposite way and want to annex my Shuzhong and form a north-south confrontation with Cao Wei!" Dong Yundao.

"No way! My Shu soldiers are brave, if the Eastern Wu committed, we will go all out, no matter who wins on both sides will not be much better, even if the territory is gained, it will be difficult to recover in just a few years, when Cao Wei will go south, the world will be included in it. Even if Sun Quan has a heart, Lu Xun will never fail to see through it, at this time, the two sides can only survive if they cooperate! Deng Zhi retorted slightly.

For a while, both sides held their own views, and neither agreed with the other, and there was a faint quarrel. After a while, everyone saw that the quarrel was fruitless, but they looked at Kong Ming, meaning that they wanted him to decide.

After stroking his gray hair, Kong Ming shook his head and said, "The most important thing in today's plan is to find a way to solve this crisis, not to find out who did it here." ”

Hearing this, Deng Zhi and Meng Guang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on their faces, with shame on their faces, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.

"Bo Miao, you and lead people to strictly check whether there are a large number of foreign businessmen in the ports and the city gates today!" Looking at Deng Zhi, Kong Ming commanded solemnly.

"As for how to solve the problem of the current continuous rise in prices in Shuzhong, restore the five-baht customization, balance the weight of the world's money and goods, restore purchasing power, and fundamentally solve the problem, this is the best policy! However, Yizhou is short of minerals, especially copper ore, so the first emperor could not mint more than five baht coins in the past, but could only mint small coins. ”

"The restoration of five baht coins can only be kept for later, today should first strictly control the number of hundred baht coins on the market, the issuance volume and the annual economic profit in Shu is roughly equal, to ensure the stability of value, this matter is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, if you want to so, you need to carefully check the harvest of all walks of life in Shu, even accurate to a county!"
