Li Ru, but silent!

After a long time, he got up and walked to the corner of the tent, took a small box from a pile of miscellaneous items, and walked back to sit down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info gently rubbed the small box with his palm, Li Ru sighed after a while, as if he had made up his mind, and opened the box. Under the light, the box contained a string of swarthy, shaddy-looking coins......

"Does Childe recognize this?"

Cao Peng stretched out his hand and took the coin from Li Ru's hand, but his brows couldn't help frowning.

"It's ......"

The size of the copper coin and the five-baht coin are much smaller, but the production is quite poor. Also, there was no writing on the coin.

He recognized that this was the unpaid money that was popular in the market during the Dong Zhuo period.

Dong Zhuo controlled the court, and the copper coins in his hands were not enough, so he began to mint money privately. But a large amount of copper is needed to mint money, and Dong Zhuo did not have such copper in his hand, so he destroyed the copper goods of the people, copper bells and other copper products to mint coins. Due to Dong Zhuo's recasting of small coins, not to mention the lack of weight, it also caused a large number of bad coins to be flooded, which made prices rise wildly. In a short period of time, the price of grain alone has risen to tens of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a stone.

At that time, there was a saying that if you wanted to buy a liter of grain, you had to trade it with a liter of copper coins......

Later, people began to consciously eliminate this coin.

I'm not buying it!

As a result, there was a situation of bartering, which caused further confusion in the prices of the entire market.

The small money created by Dong Zhuo is the 'unwritten money' in Cao Peng's hands.

Li Ru smiled and said softly: "Presumably, Gongzi has recognized that this is 'Wenqian money'." At that time, the Zhangren controlled the government and the princes crusaded, so that the Zhangren had to retreat to Chang'an. At that time, in order to disturb the Kanto region, I came up with a trick of no money. In just two years, I made the Kanto bazaar chaotic and almost dilapidated...... Originally, if you persist for another one or two years, the father-in-law can take over the whole world without blood. Pity...... So, I kept it in my heart. ”

"No money, from the hand of the gentleman?"

Cao Peng was stunned and looked at Li Ru.

In his memory, when everyone mentions 'unpaid money', they will say that it is Dong Zhuo's tyrannical means of collecting money.

But I didn't think about it......

At the same time, Cao Peng shivered.

Bad money eliminates good money! Isn't Li Ru's hand the financial means of later generations?

By putting a large amount of bad money into the market, it causes chaos in the market prices of a certain region or a certain country, and finally collapses. It is not surprising that such methods have emerged in an endless stream in later generations. But I didn't expect that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there would be such a thing. Cao Peng's memory of the disaster caused by the lack of money is not much...... However, I often heard Cao Ji and his wife, or Deng Ji and his wife, talk about the bleak scene in the period when there was no money at that time.

Take Zhongyangshan as an example: Cao Ji repaired farm tools and made iron tools for people at that time, and did not accept coins at all, but asked for barter directly. But because of this difference in the value of goods, they often quarrel with others, and even break up unhappily.

Those years were really painful!

In fact, Cao Peng is also rare and strange.

He didn't know that this kind of financial warfare that was beginning to take shape was not uncommon in the Three Kingdoms era.

Uncle Liu Bei, who was known for his 'benevolence and righteousness' in later generations, also did such a thing. When he captured Bashu, due to the lack of military resources, he minted a big coin called 'straight hundred and five baht', and one coin was worth 100 coins.

Later, Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Bashu and called himself 'Han', which was called Shu Han in later generations.

The currency of Shu Han is more complicated, in addition to the straight hundred and five baht, there are also Taiping hundred coins, Dingping one hundred and other big money. Among them, the most famous is the 'Gandharon for 5 baht'. Through this coinage, Liu Bei continued to gather the wealth of Shu Han.

For example, if the total amount of private funds is 10,000 yuan, Liu Bei can exchange a large amount of money for 15 baht of private money. Then, as long as Liu Bei mints a hundred big coins, it is equivalent to having 10,000 coins. It sounds like social wealth has not changed as a result...... But don't worry, when all the 100 big coins enter circulation, exchange for five baht or shop, the 10,000 yuan in the hands of your people will be equivalent to half of the depreciation, and the other half will flow into Liu Bei's pocket.

Perhaps, Liu Bei is trying to raise military expenses......

Perhaps, he was there to fill the treasury. But the harm caused by this kind of big money flooding the market is self-evident.

In fact, not only Liu Bei, but Sun Quan also did this kind of thing.

Historically, Sun Quan once minted a copper coin called 'Daquan 500', and you will know that one coin is worth 500 coins. Later, there were currencies such as 'Oizumi Dangqian', 'Oizumi 2000', and 'Oizumi 5000'...... Fortunately, Sun Quan found out in time, and finally stopped circulating and ordered the government to recycle.

If you don't recycle, you can't do it!

Because of this big money, it almost caused a riot in the entire Soochow......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Of course, Cao Peng didn't know these things, and when Li Ru said the plan to eliminate good money with bad money, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Ru said: "My idea is to first pass through the imperial court and mint five baht in the name of this silver building to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains." After that, Childe managed to mint five baht and mix it with miscellaneous items so that it looked the same as the five baht coin. and then put this large amount of bad money into ...... For example, Bashu! Well, it's Bashu...... Bashu is the country of abundance, and now under the rule of Liu Zhang, it is especially relaxed. Its products are abundant, and the grain and rice are abundant, which is exactly what Liangzhou needs.

Through the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce, Gongzi put a large amount of bad money into Bashu in exchange for goods.

It was a slow process, maybe one or two years, maybe four or five years, but Liu Zhang would never have noticed it at first. When these many inferior five-baht coins flood Bashu, it will inevitably cause a large-scale increase in the value of goods. Liu Zhang wanted to govern again, but it was too late...... Even if he is willing to pay his own money in exchange for these bad coins, it is estimated that it will not be effective. In this case, Bashu will be chaotic. When the time comes, Gongzi will send troops, and he will be able to occupy the land of Bashu without blood. It's an idea of mine, but it takes a lot of planning to put it into practice. ”

Nima, isn't this a counterfeit banknote?

Cao Peng was really stunned!

He looked at Li Ru in surprise, a little overwhelmed.

But if you think about it, I think it's not unworkable.

But the prerequisite is that the currency of the Central Plains must be unified to avoid the huge impact caused by the return of this bad currency.

Silver Building, Equal to the Central Bank?

Isn't the silver building in Li Ru's words the function of the central bank in later generations?

However, in this way, the ownership of the silver building must be completely recovered. Previously, this silver building was in the hands of Cao Peng and Chen Qun and others, if it really wants to implement the plan of eliminating good money from bad money, then Cao Cao will take back the silver building as soon as possible.

If it is said that in history, the practice of Liu Bei, Sun Quan and others was to collect food and wages.

Then Li Ru is consciously using currency to disrupt the other party's market and destroy the other party's economy......

Can you do this thing?

There is no doubt that it can be done!

If this can be done, maybe the Three Kingdoms War will not need to last long.

Cao Peng closed his eyes, digesting Li Ru's plan while trying to recall the details of the financial war in the future.

Although he is only a criminal policeman, he has seen and heard many such things.

As a result, Cao Peng constantly put forward the financial crime methods in his memory, and through Li Ru's continuous changes, he adapted to the needs of this era. Later, Li Ru simply picked up a pen and paper, recorded and wrote. Before I knew it, it was dawn...... When Li Ru's personal soldiers walked into the small tent and wanted to wake Li Ru, the two had already written a thick stack of papers.

"Oh day, it's dawn?"

Li Ru didn't feel tired at all, and seemed to have returned to the state he was in when he planned for Dong Zhuo, extremely excited.

Cao Peng felt his head flutter for a while.

When you stand up, you even feel like the world is spinning......

"That's all for today, sir.

The point is that these things are just an outline at the moment, and there are bound to be many specific problems with operation. If you need my help, please speak. I will look for opportunities to improve this plan step by step...... It's better that we do it and improve it at the same time, how about it? ”

Li Ru laughed when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

In every gesture, people feel a kind of high-spirited spirit.

"It's not that hard to do.

When the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce was in operation, it was the day when the program was promoted. In this way, I don't need any soldiers, as long as Su Shuanghe and Zhu Dao are with me, it will be enough! ”

One is the future head of the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce, proficient in business.

The other is a ranger who has a wide range of friends. It is indeed more than enough to have the two of them as assistants. After all, if you really want to carry out this plan, what you need is not a talented person, nor is it a talented person. This is a plan that needs to be carried out by people who do practical things. Relatively speaking, Su Shuanghe and Zhu Dao are indeed the most suitable candidates.

Cao Peng said: "I will let the two of them fully assist." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the last day of the eighth year of Jian'an, the new year is coming.

Although the environment is poor, the people living in Hongshui Camp are still interested. They were cheerful and set up in the camp, and each simple tent was wrapped with a touch of red silk to show their joy. Cao Peng also ordered people to drape the lanterns in red to add to the atmosphere of the New Year.

At the same time, he ordered the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and each tent would share some as a New Year's gift.

When everyone was busy welcoming the arrival of the new year, Cao Peng called Xu Shu Pang Tong and Buqi Jia Xing to inform everyone of what Li Ru said last night. Sure enough, when Pang Tong and the others heard this, they immediately felt a hint of threat. They whispered to each other, and then proposed one plan after another to Cao Peng......

Night falls!

When Cao Peng returned to his residence with a tired body, he saw Guo Huanbuluan and others preparing meals.

Cai Yan and Zhen Mi also helped on the side, and Ah Mei (Cai Mei) supported his chin with his small hands to watch everyone busy.

"What are you preparing?"

"The New Year is approaching, of course, we must prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner."

Cao Peng glanced at the materials prepared by everyone, and suddenly said with great interest: "Since it is the New Year, how can you miss dumplings?" ”

"Dumplings?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, I'll demonstrate, it's not difficult.

Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, there are no taboos...... Call Cai Di over, let's do it together to celebrate everyone's fate and get together; I hope that in the coming year, everything will go well, and there will be no disasters and no difficulties...... Come on, let's spend this year together. ”
