137. Stabilize the situation and speed up the building of the army

After eating something outside and walking around, Chen Chen returned to the Zuimeng Building, and just stepped into the venue, only to see the mess all over the place, all the businessmen fell to the ground with pale faces, and some of the timid ones were even more frightened and fainted. (8) (1) Chinese.81.

Chen Chen casually let people drag the body out, and let everyone wake up.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" When everyone looked at Chen Chen, as if they had seen a savior, they quickly knelt down tremblingly, their faces were like ashes, and there was no blood at all.

Chen Chen smiled slightly: "What are you talking about, this king just dealt with some spies, you are all the pillars of Dongshui, and this king's country still depends on you." ”

"Lord Wangfu, we will wait for the prince to see the horse." Everyone hurriedly followed.

Chen Chen nodded slightly, since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to embarrass them anymore, after all, if you force them too quickly, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

"I hope that when you go back, you must tell your men that all the major shops must accept paper money, and if you dare to accept gold and silver, then." Chen Chen stopped his voice at the right time.

Everyone nodded hurriedly, and at this moment everyone was uneasy, and they dared to disobey the will.

After explaining in detail and admonishing them, Chen Chen let everyone leave.

"Lord Wang, you didn't know just now, when we punished that prince, these merchants were scared to the core."

"Don't talk about them, even I was so scared that my legs went limp, and those rats burrowed into people's bodies alive......."

Chen Chen waved his hand: "Okay, don't say it, this king is just to deter them, and he doesn't want to be too ugly, after this time, I believe these businessmen can be honest for a while." ”

After assigning some tasks and giving a good explanation of the matter of Zuimenglou, Chen Chen returned to the palace to rest.

After this rectification, the situation in Dongshui has gradually returned to calm.

The counterfeit money circulating in the Dongshui market was all destroyed, and all those who had counterfeit money or maliciously circulated counterfeit money were put into prison, and the major merchants were also much more honest after the meeting of the drunken dream building, and immediately after returning to the prince's order, they resolutely did not accept gold and silver, only paper money, and some people exchanged gold and silver but could not circulate, so they had to return to the bank and exchange gold and silver for paper money again.

Although the people had objections to the continued use of paper money, they had to continue to use it under the joint control of the imperial court and merchants, and Chen Chen, in order to stabilize the people's hearts and further strengthen the imperial court's macroeconomic regulation and control of the economy, personally took action to control some daily necessities, and also stipulated the cost of wages in Dongshui.

The law of Dongshui stipulates that a bag of salt must be sold for one yuan and cannot be increased, and the price of vegetables and other prices closely related to the common people is strictly controlled, and the market is quickly stabilized for a while, and the people spend cheaper than before to buy such a good product, naturally grateful to the court and the prince, paper money has experienced this chaos and shock after its market position stabilized again.

Under the instructions of the prince, the Dongshui Bank also sent people to transmit the method of distinguishing paper money in the market, which was to prevent the people from receiving counterfeit money and misunderstanding paper money, and then have doubts and opinions on the use of paper money.

Chen Chen's decision is to further ensure the public's awareness of paper money, and then firmly establish the unshakable position of paper money in the Dongshui market.

At a time when Dongshui is stabilizing the banknotes and markets as soon as possible, other countries are deeply worried and resentful of Dongshui's move. Originally, they hoped that the Dongshui market would be chaotic and force Dongshui to abolish paper money and use gold and silver, and then they could divert gold and silver from Dongshui through some means, but they didn't want Dongshui to solve the problem quickly, and they also vigorously transported paper money outward, and the degree and quantity of transportation were unprecedented.

After the solution, Dongshui can be regarded as stable, and Chen Chen is not ambiguous and uses this turmoil to make a fuss, and even takes the opportunity to suppress or get rid of some bureaucrats who do not act, among which Shangguan Yu, Wu Kexin and Qin Ruhai's subordinates are the most suppressed.

After the bureaucratic rectification, Chen Chen further established his position in Dongshui, and some important official positions were held by his own people, no longer responsible for the Big Three, and directly obeyed his own orders.

Although the three giants were dissatisfied with this rectification, they had no way to resist, so they had to let Chen Chen appoint the imperial court as if they were watching the flowers, and the power of the three of them was greatly weakened compared to before.

Although the status of the merchant was not deliberately suppressed, it was also affected, and the excessive expansion of the merchant was sharply compressed by the imperial court, and for a period of time, he also obeyed the arrangement of the prince and the imperial court, and did not dare to make any rash moves.

As for the army, it is closely controlled by Wei Commander, Chen Cheng and Yang Cheng, others are not allowed to control the army without authorization, and the banking affairs are no longer in the sole hands of Chen Biao, but by Chen Chen himself to monitor and be responsible, how many banknotes are issued every month, Chen Chen will carefully calculate.

Dongshui affairs were smooth again under Chen Chen's personal handling, and Chen Chen was physically and mentally exhausted in order to deal with these things, and now he had to deal with politics, economy and military affairs by himself, the pressure was really great, but it was not easy to be a leader, he was deeply aware of it.

"I'm finally settled, I'm really tired." Chen Chen looked at Commander Wei and the others and sighed slightly.

Commander Wei laughed: "The prince personally took action, and our Dongshui has regained its vitality again, but recently the officials have been cautious about the prince, and the string in his heart is tense all the time." ”

Chen Chen waved his hand and said: "This king is just a warning, after a few days, part of the power will still have to be handed over to Shangguan Yu and others, otherwise if you continue to do this, I am afraid that sooner or later you will be exhausted to death." This time, Shangguan Yu and others did deal with it too hastily, but the ability is still there, governing the state management officials is like pruning flowers and trees, this flowers and trees will inevitably grow off, only artificial pruning is good, or the flowers and trees grow too fast, the land can't bear it, then you have to remove some flowers and trees. ”

"By the way, Brother Huang, how about going to the ruins of the priest of Tu'an this time?" Chen Cheng seized the opportunity and asked.

"It was really unexpected." Chen Chen let out a sigh of relief, and then told everyone what Tuan had seen and heard.

"What, there is a more powerful force on the other side of the ocean? So what do we do. The three of them couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this.

"Why do you want to do so much, but now that this place has not been dealt with, how can you take care of it over there?"

"Now that the exam for the selection of officials in Dongshui is coming, deal with this first, you expand the strength of the army as soon as possible, this king will improve his weapons at that time, once the Dongshui relocation is completed and completely stabilized, then it is time to dominate the big 6 and establish the Dongshui Dynasty." Chen Chen took the map and smiled slightly, when the time comes, Chen Guo and Nanzhao will have to control them all, and the rest of the places will take their time. (To be continued.) )
