With the passage of time, the five-baht coins issued by Liaodong gradually spread from Liaodong to the surrounding areas, except for Jiangbei because of the turmoil in the situation did not cause much turmoil, but caused a huge storm in Jiangzuo.

Because the quality of Liaodong's five-baht coins is very good, as soon as they entered Jiangdong, they were sought after by ordinary people, and they exchanged the bad money in their hands for new coins.

Soon the new coin of Liaodong squeezed out of the market of the copper coins minted by the Jiangdong family privately, and the Jiangdong family saw that Liaodong infringed on their own interests, and they ran to Sima Rui to complain, asking Sima Rui to prohibit the circulation of new coins in Jiangdong, but unfortunately the administrative means could not save the fate of Jiangzuo's inferior coins that were about to lose the market.

In February, the spring breeze of Jianye is blowing, the streets, the wine shops, are full of children of families dressed in thin silk, although the Central Plains of Jiangbei have already become a pot of porridge, but Jianye has not encountered any war since the unification of the Jin Dynasty, so the city is full of laughter.

A spacious carriage hurriedly stopped in front of the palace, and Lu Ye, the Marquis of Wangting, frowned when he remembered the Jiangzuo monetary system, which was now collapsing rapidly.

Before the issuance of the new coin, Liaodong did not disclose a trace of news to the outside world, so that when the Jiangzuo family noticed that something was wrong, the Liaodong new currency had already gained the upper hand in the market and drove the inferior currency issued by the Jiangzuo family out of the market in one fell swoop.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, for more than 100 years, the Jiangzuo family has earned a lot of benefits by issuing currency, and Liaodong wants to cut off this financial road in one fell swoop, how not to make the Jiangzuo family anxious?

……

"Liu Qing's family, Lord Wei is really capable, but it took more than half a year to recover most of the counties in Youzhou. Now he has almost eight counties in his hands, and he has millions of people under his jurisdiction, and he is already the strongest prince under the rule of the imperial court. Although he has always been courteous and courteous, he has never been to Jianye, and the widow is ...... in his heart."

As soon as King Langya finished speaking, Liu Kui understood that King Langya was suspicious and committed again. As Wei Shuo's strength is getting stronger and stronger. King Langya's perception of Wei Shuo has also slowly changed from his previous appreciation and reliance to suspicion and vigilance.

"Your Majesty, you're too worried! Don't look at Lord Wei's occupation of the land of the two states, in fact, he is still in danger. To the south of him was a very powerful enemy, Shi Le, who would not be willing to let Liaodong replace Wang Jun. It's just that Shi Le hasn't freed up his hands to send troops to Youzhou yet, otherwise it remains to be said whether Lord Wei's strength can block Shi Le's attack! ”

"Lord Liu, you are too underestimated to look down on Lord Wei! I heard that Master Wei is the behind-the-scenes owner of Laoshan Trading Company. The wealth accumulated over the years is innumerable. With such strong financial support, coupled with Lord Wei's ability to train troops, how could Shi Le be his opponent? ”

Zuo Changshi Diao Xie has always regarded himself as a confidant of King Langya, and he will not have any good impression of foreign feudal towns like Wang Dun and Wei Shuo. In Diao Xie's view, Wei Shuo, who was born in a poor family, was second only to Wang Dun in terms of threat to Jiang Zuo, but since Wei Shuo's strength was weak and he had never been to Jianye, there was no conflict between the two sides.

Listening to Diao Xie's words, King Langya's face became gloomy again, and he was indeed more and more jealous of Wei Shuo. Not to mention the Laoshan trading company, which is rich enough to rival the country. The land of the two states, the millions of people, and the hundred thousand people with armor alone were enough to make him feel sideways.

Just as Liu Kui was about to defend Wei Shuo to King Langya again, he saw Lu Ye, the Marquis of Wangting, hurriedly walked in. Outsiders only looked at Lu Ye's frowns and knew that he was in trouble, if it made the Jiangdong Lu family feel embarrassed, it means that Lu Ye's trouble must not be simple.

"I don't know what happened to make Shiguang so embarrassed?"

Lu Ye arched his hand and said: "King, Jiang Zuo has a big problem!" Not long ago, a quietly rising trend of copper coin exchange swept across Jiangdong, causing heavy losses to the families engaged in the coinage industry. ”

"As far as His Majesty knows, the copper coins minted by Jiangzuo have basically been driven out of the circulation market by the new coins. If the king does not take any measures, it will not be long before the local coinage workshop closes down. ”

"What!?"

Lu Ye's words made King Langya forget about Wei Shuo for the time being. He was shocked and said, "What kind of person would have such a great ability to kill all the local copper coins?" ”

"Liaodong!" Lu Ye gently spit out two words in his mouth.

Liaodong! This place name seemed to have a spell, and instantly made the three Langya kings fall into petrification. Even Liu Kui, who has always had a good impression of Wei Shuo, didn't dare to say anything more, Wei Shuo was too good at tossing.

"Liaodong is thousands of miles away from my Jiangzuo, how can their money appear in Jiangzuo?"

"The king doesn't know, starting from the first month of the third year of Jianxing. The Laoshan Trading Company stipulated that it would no longer accept private money from all over the country, and that all transactions would only be made in Liaodong Singapore ......"

King Langya interrupted with a bit of confusion on his face: "Wait, Mr. Shiguang, even if the influence of the Laoshan Trading Company is great, I am afraid that it will not be able to influence the circulation of currency, right?" Won't you fight back against each other in the same way? ”

Lu Ye smiled bitterly a few times, and hesitated: "That...... That one. Distant...... The quality of the new coins issued by Liaodong far exceeds that of Jiangzuo's copper coins, and they give up a lot of profits when exchanging, so they attract many people to exchange with them, and now more than three-quarters of Jiangzuo's market is circulating Liaodong new coins. ”

After listening to Lu Ye's explanation, King Langya, Diao Xie, and Liu Kui suddenly understood that the Jiangzuo family had squeezed the people too hard in coinage, giving Liaodong the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Lord Lu, since Liaodong has made a lot of profits in the exchange, why don't you rely on the strength of the family to break the Liaodong New Currency? With the ability of the Jiangzuo family, it should be very easy to do! ”

Facing Diao Xie's question, Lu Ye shook his head and said: "Lord Changshi is thinking too simply, Liaodong only gives benefits to ordinary Shu clans, but gives very harsh conditions to the family. If my Jiangzuo family bows to Liaodong, it means that more than thirty percent of the wealth will be lost, and these wealth will be taken into the hands of the Liaodong soldiers without blood. ”

"Sancheng?!"

King Langya was shocked when he heard this, and the wealth of the Jiangzuo family must be an unimaginable astronomical amount. As soon as he thought that all this wealth would flow to Liaodong, he felt a lot of pain.

Regret! What a big regret! As time passed, King Langya became more and more regretful that he had not summoned Wei Shuo to Jiangzuo in the first place. Regardless of his training methods or financial management skills, they are all the talents that King Langya urgently needs.

"What is Mr. Na Shiguang's purpose in coming to my palace this time? Even your family can't do anything about him, so what can the widow do to stop the circulation of new coins? ”

"The minister wants to ask the king to issue a ban on the circulation of Liaodong new coins in Jiangzuo!"

In the case of a complete rout on the financial battlefield, the Jiangzuo family headed by Lu Ye had no choice but to pin their hopes on administrative means, but unfortunately they did not know that the economic laws were not governed by administrative means at all, otherwise the paper money issued by administrative means in the Song and Ming dynasties in history would not collapse in the end.

When King Langya issued a ban, although the new coins disappeared from the Jiangzuo market for a while, before the clans could raise their glasses to celebrate, another news came that made Jiangzuo collapse. Since the people of Jiangzuo accepted the new coins of Liaodong, they would rather return to the primitive era of bartering than accept the inferior coins minted by Jiangzuo.

Jiangzuo's commercial development was hit hard by the ban of King Langya, and only Jiangzuo banned the circulation of new coins, and in other places Liaodong new coins have fully gained the upper hand. Jiangzuo had to choose the new currency again when conducting business transactions with the outside world, so that the ban of the Langya King was in vain, and the new currency of Liaodong once again ruled the Jiangzuo market.

After this turmoil, the Jiangzuo family suffered heavy losses, its wealth shrank by at least thirty percent, and countless children of the family secretly scolded Wei Shuo for being bloody. In this turmoil, Liaodong not only plundered a lot of wealth from the hands of the family, but also knocked the new currency of Liaodong into Jiangzuo in one fell swoop, laying the foundation for the future unification of the currency.

As the turmoil gradually subsided, Wei Shuo's name began to circulate in Jiangzuo, and many people hated him when he mentioned his name. After thinking twice, King Langya decided to summon him to Jianye. Although he had no intention of putting Wei Shuo under house arrest, it still caused a wave of turmoil.

The people who have a dislike for Wei Shuo are disdainful on the surface, but in fact, they are secretly raising manpower and preparing to eradicate Wei Shuo in one fell swoop; And the people who were good friends with Wei Shuo were worried about this, and persuaded Wei Shuo not to go to Jiangzuo, in case he fell into the trap of others.
