There are also residents in the residential area one after another, and the houses in the residential area, each of which is about the same size, except for some of the scenery and pattern of some slight differences, the area is the same, all about one acre.

The residential area that occupies one-fifth of the area of Jiuzhou City has 157,500 acres, excluding the area of six squares and parks, there are still 103,500 acres, and after deducting the greening and streets, there are 80,000 acres, that is, 80,000 houses.

After deducting the more than 3,000 houses that were compensated, there are still more than 76,000 left.

These houses, the important civil and military under Li Zheng's command, each gave a set. There are also Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo, who have also prepared a set. Five or six hundred sets were removed here.

The remaining nearly 76,000 homes were all sold for private ownership.

As a result, there are many wealthy and powerful businessmen who have purchased their favorite houses here. Even some farmers and ranchers who have made a fortune have also purchased a set.

By the end of the year, there were still 35,000 houses left in the entire residential area without owners, but presumably as the people became more and more prosperous, and with the influx of more and more merchants and large households, these houses would be sold out sooner or later.

At that time, one-fifth of the residential area of Jiuzhou City had 80,000 permanent residents, with a population of at least more than 500,000. Coupled with the industrial area, commercial area, and military area, the flow of people in Jiuzhou City can reach at least one million.

The role played by such a central city for a force is quite huge.

Not to mention anything else, just to be able to create a wealth of zào is an astronomical amount. Just in residential areas, the price of each house is fixed at ten gold, and these tens of thousands of houses will give Li Zheng a huge fortune of hundreds of thousands of gold. And that's just a one-shot buy.

The real wealth is also in the industrial and commercial areas.

The shops and factories in these two areas are not sold for private use, but are rented out in the form of leases. The annual rent, taxes, etc. are a large amount of money coming in, and the water of the Yellow River flows for a long time.

With the establishment of Jiuzhou City, Li Zheng's territory has a real center.

This not only has a huge harvest in terms of wealth, but also produces a deeper cohesion and attraction

The four years of Chuping passed quickly, and the little emperor coerced by Yuan Shao changed the name of the year to Xingping this year, which was the first year of Xingping.

Liangzhou continued to use the name of the Han court in name only, and Li Zheng said that there was no pressure.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the Liangzhou government issued a decree, which was an extremely important decree on financial reform.

Li Zheng decided to reform the monetary system in the territory - from the first year of Xingping, the five-baht currency system used by the Han court was abandoned, and the unique currency system of Liangzhou was replaced.

Since the Shangyuan Festival, local officials will immediately start to set up gold banks, and the minimum will be popularized to the township level. Specifically, the headquarters of Liangzhou Central Gold Bank will be set up in Jiuzhou City, and each of the following counties will set up branches, each county will set up branches, and each township will set up branches.

After all the branches of the gold bank are completed, the people of all places must go to the nearest gold bank and exchange the old currency for the new currency according to the value ratio calculated by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

The new coins are divided into three tiers: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. It is gold, silver, and copper coins made of these three precious metals. The ratio to huàn is one to ten. Ten copper coins equals one silver coin, and ten silver coins equals one gold coin.

Gold coins are half an inch in diameter and weigh one tael, silver coins are three-quarters of an inch in diameter and weigh one tael, and copper coins are one inch in diameter and weigh one tael.

And it is accompanied by the issuance of golden bills to facilitate the trade of large amounts.

Currency reform is an idea that Li Zheng has had for a long time. However, the time was not yet ripe, so it was not implemented. At the beginning of this year's New Year, Li Zheng bought a set of currency template drawings in the mystery shop, and after analyzing them, they could be forged in the forging center.

The craftsmanship of the forging center cannot be imitated by anyone, and the anti-counterfeiting can be said to be excellent. In addition, the economic system in Li Zheng's territory was becoming more and more mature, and the old currency was becoming more and more difficult to meet the demand, so Li Zheng decided to reform the currency system.

Samples of the three currencies and samples of the golden ticket have long been forged.

The obverse pattern of the gold coin is the sun, moon and stars, and the reverse pattern is the appearance of the origin tree. The obverse of the coin is the unification of the four seas, and the reverse is still the Origin Tree. The obverse of the copper coin is farming, and the reverse is also the origin tree.

The golden ticket, on the other hand, is not a conventional paper, but a bill forged through the guò template formula, kneaded with paper and leather. The smallest gold ticket has a face value of ten, with twenty, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, and the highest being one thousand. There are three types: Bronze Coin Gold Ticket, Silver Coin Gold Ticket and Gold Coin Gold Ticket. At the same time, special blank gold tickets with no limit on the amount are issued, similar to cheques, and large trade can be paid by cheques. Of course, in order to obtain a check, you need to be qualified, and you are not eligible to use a check without proof of large assets.

Whether it is gold, silver and copper coins, or checks, the patterns on them are drawn with special patterns similar to those in the functional architecture of the system, and with the inexplicable craftsmanship of the forging center, there is no zài imitation at all.

After Li Zheng issued the order to prepare for the establishment of the financial banking system, he began to conduct a thorough integration of Liangzhou's economy and finance, so as to facilitate the calculation of the amount of new currency issuance.

Li Zheng didn't understand this very well, but Zhou Lin, who was good at business operations, understood a little, and invited Yan's and other big commercial banks who were good at finance, and with their help, they finally came to the final result.

In the spring of March, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce officially came up with a proposal and handed it over to Li Zheng.

Taking into account the overall economic system of Li Zheng's territory, the amount of currency exchange, real estate, and other factors, and taking into account the value of the new currency that distinguishes it from the old currency, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce finally gave the total value of 100 million gold coins issued for the first time.

Then through a certain calculation, a definite number jù is obtained.

The amount of gold coins issued is 10 million.

The amount of silver coins issued is 400 million.

The amount of copper coins issued is 5 billion.

As for the issuance quota of golden bills and checks, it is necessary to wait until the three currencies are issued, and then issue them according to market requirements.

Li Zheng carefully looked at the proposal, finally signed and sealed, and began to forge currency.

Ten million gold coins, according to their weight, is one million catties. One million catties of gold is not a large amount, but it is only five hundred tons. The inventory of gold in the Shenzhou grassland has long exceeded 1,000 tons.

Silver and copper are extremely common metals.

These metals, to be honest, have been used in large quantities for forging armor. However, the amount of inventory still exceeds the amount needed for currency issuance.

The mining capacity of the mineral-eating beast far exceeded that of Li Zheng's era in later generations. Even if there was so-called high technology and machinery in that era, no matter how high the technology and machinery were, could the mineral deposits 10,000 meters underground be mined? No!

But the Mineral-Eating Beast can!

Therefore, Li Zheng's army, when the scale of the mineral-eating beast reaches the current level, will not lack armor to use.

Of course, the forging center plays a big role.

The forging speed of the forging center is too fast, after the system is upgraded, there are two larger forging centers that can produce day and night, if the horsepower is full, within twelve hours, tens of thousands of first-order armor can be produced.

This kind of production capacity is simply amazing.

Skip that and talk about currency issuance.

In April, the new currency system was nodding to Li Zheng, and by this time, all the gold banks in various places had been completed. Of course, if there is no Lan Xiangniao who can give an order immediately, from Shangyuan Festival to April, I am afraid that the most remote places have just gotten this news. But there are blue birds all over the territory, and Li Zheng's orders can be passed to all county-level officials in an instant, and the orders will be issued. It only takes a day or two for every township-level official to fully receive Li Zheng's orders.

So far, all the gold banks in all regions have been fully prepared.

Immediately, the departments in charge of finance under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce immediately dispatched personnel to take charge of the gold banks in various places. Of course, there is certainly not enough manpower, but the principals of the gold banks in various places must be personnel dispatched by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the rest can be recruited from the local area.

After the personnel are settled, the new currency will be issued in June.

Merchants, ordinary people, and wealthy families from all over the country flocked to the gold bank, exchanging the original circulating five-baht coins and gold into a new currency.

In July, the currency totaling 100 million gold coins was almost redeemed, and with it, new currency was circulating in Li Zheng's territory. The government issued a decree completely banning the circulation of old money, and issued a related currency protection law

When Li Zheng diligently repaired internal affairs and reformed the currency system, there were still constant wars in Kwantung, Youzhou, and Jiangnan.

At the end of last year, Gongsun Zhan defeated Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, and killed his entire wife and children on the grounds that he wanted to be the emperor.

At the beginning of this year, when spring and summer began, Gongsun Chan fought with Yuan Shao again.

In addition to the constant beacon fire in the border area between Qingzhou and Jizhou, Gongsun Chan also sent troops from Jixian County, and plundered the northern counties of Jizhou from time to time. Not to be outdone, Yuan Shao dispatched a large army to fight back.

After Cao Cao took full possession of Yanzhou, defeated Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, stabilized the shape of the shì, and prepared to take Cao Song, the father of the expatriate in Langya, back to Yanzhou to be raised, and sent Taishan County Taishou Yingshao to meet the escort.

However, Tao Qian hated Cao Cao several times, so he sent light cavalry to chase and kill Cao Song and his son Cao De at the county border.

Taishan County Shou Shao arrived, found that Cao Song was dead, and was afraid that Cao Cao would be guilty, so he abandoned the official and fled north to Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao learned that his father and brother were dead, and coveted Xuzhou, so he brazenly sent troops to Xuzhou, all the way through, attacking the city and slaughtering civilians to vent his grievances.

Tao Qian was defeated, so he sent an envoy to ask for help from Kong Rong in Beihai and Liu Bei in the plain.

Kong Rong is a Confucian student, and he may have a very high ideological realm, but in terms of governing the local area and training and using troops, he is too far behind, and self-protection is still insufficient, so what strength does he have to help Tao Qian?

Only Liu Bei, who had lived under Gongsun Zan for a long time, had long been dissatisfied with the status quo, and got Tao Qian's request for help, thinking that there was an opportunity, so he did his best, led thousands of soldiers and horses, and joined the two generals of Zhang to help Xuzhou.

In the summer, Cao Cao made Xun Yu and Cheng Yu guard Juancheng, and led Guo Jia, Xiahou brothers and other civil and military generals, led tens of thousands of soldiers, expanded several cities, and fought in Donghai County, Xuzhou, and fought with Liu Bei and Cao Bao in Tancheng.

Liu Bei and Cao Bao were defeated, defeated and retreated to Xiangben, and Cao Cao sent troops to besiege Xiangben and forced Pengcheng.

At this time, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, engaged in Chen Gong and Chen Liu's uprising, and led Ji Ling, the general of Nanyang Yuanshu, into Yanzhou, and almost copied Cao Cao's nest!

Fortunately, there was a general Cao Ren to stabilize the situation and defend Puyang. There were also Xun Yu and Cheng Yu sitting in Juancheng, so that Yanzhou did not completely fall.

The betrayal of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong pierced Cao Cao's heart.

Seeing that Xuzhou was about to go down, but there was such a thing behind him, Cao Cao had no choice but to lead his troops back to Yanzhou.

It is said that Zhang Miao and Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao, which actually has something to do with Li Zheng. It was not Li Zheng who was behind the scenes, but because Cao Cao learned some of Li Zheng's ideas and put them into practice, because it angered some people.

Cao Cao was able to win Yanzhou, thanks to the great merits of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong. At the beginning, it was Chen Gong and Zhang Miao who persuaded the scholar class in Yanzhou to welcome Cao Cao into the master.

However, after Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, he learned from Li Zheng's way of dealing with the powerful family. Although it is said that if there is no Li Zheng, Cao Cao will also suppress the family and promote the Hanmen. But with Li Zheng's experience, Cao Cao did it even more ruthlessly.

Therefore, it aroused the rebellion of the Yanzhou clan, which is why within a month, Ji Ling was able to occupy most of the counties and counties of Yanzhou - Ji Ling's army passed through, and every city opened and surrendered, and it was of course easy to resist without resistance.
