"I have heard that the new policy in Qingzhou has something special, but I have not had time to study it deeply, but when I see it today, it is really strange everywhere, which makes people scratch their heads."

"What Gongda said is, don't mention anything else, just talk about this coinage, other people mint money, nothing more than to collect money, copper goods after casting, into five baht money, the value of the sharp rise of nearly double, if in the casting process in the mixed hands and feet, more profit. Just like Dong Zhongying back then, the money minters were afraid that they would not be able to spend the money, but Qingzhou did the opposite, shouldn't it be strange? ”

"The tax system is also extremely strange, the ancient Ming monarchs are all virtuous in light of the meager endowment, and this Wang Yu does the opposite. Let's say that he doesn't care about his reputation, he has not had a few tricks to sell his reputation in the past, but the tax on the surface is already sixty percent, how can it not be daunting? ”

"To Cheng Mou, the most incomprehensible thing in Qingzhou is the martial system, and many parties return in unison, saying that Qingzhou men have a drill every five days, and the people can't help but fight privately, and all kinds of weapons can't help but decide, if the war starts, it may be convenient for a while, but how can this be the way to long-term peace and stability? Isn't this drinking to quench your thirst? ”

"In short, there are a lot of weirdness, and there are many contradictions between each other, which makes it difficult to distinguish between them. If these decrees are unreasonable, and the prosperity of Qingzhou has completely exceeded the time of peace, if it is reasonable, where is the reason? ”

Ma Dai's speculation on Luoyang was not entirely accurate, and a tyrant like Cao Cao would certainly not be unreserved to his allies, but the information provided was ambiguous and contradictory, but it was not Cao Cao's fault. When he finally began to face Wang Yu's opponent under Zhong Xuan's reminder, he quickly fell into confusion and confusion.

In Qingzhou's new policy, there are too many places that go against common sense.

In Cao Cao's shogunate, there are all the great talents of the world, not to mention Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others. After taking Chang'an, the new Xun You, Zhong Xuan and others were also the choice of the moment, he thought. Even if there is anything strange about Qingzhou's new policy, there is nothing to hide in the eyes of this great talent.

When it first started. As Cao Cao thought, everyone brainstormed and pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of Qingzhou's new policy one by one, but these are superficial things, and after they are really studied in depth, these talents have also hit a wall.

As far as the coinage alone is concerned, there is considerable disagreement among the people.

Cheng Yu thinks. The reason why Qingzhou does not promote coinage vigorously is because the three coins in Qingzhou are all in full condition, and Wang Yu has limited gold and silver in his hands, so he can't fully spread the stall. You can't do it if you don't want to.

However, Zhong Xuan thought that if it was only for such a simple reason, Wang Yu could have tried other ways, such as reducing the amount of gold and silver used in the coins, or directly minting five baht coins. Instead of making such a half-baked situation. He believes that Wang Yu's move has great meaning.

The two have their own points of view, but neither can convince anyone, and the others are not busy helping, but each has their own thinking.

This initiative of Qingzhou. It must have a promoting effect on the prosperity of Qingzhou, who will do things that are not beneficial? The problem now is that you don't see exactly where the benefits are.

Xun Yu was careful, but pointed out one point, saying that the exchange rate of Qingzhou's Kaiyuan Tongbao is much higher than that of five baht coins, reaching an exaggerated rate that one copper coin can be exchanged for ten five-baht coins!

This is talking about five baht coins, not Dong Zhuo's small coins, the latter is purely a pit daddy's thing, that is, it has a shape, not even printed on the words, the weight is several times lighter than the five baht coin, not to mention, it is also mixed with more than half of lead.

Prices in Guanzhong have risen sharply, once as high as tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a stone, but in fact, the main reason is that Dong Fatzi does not understand the economy and sends coins indiscriminately. Figuratively speaking, it means that the currency is over-issued and inflationary.

Qingzhou's new policy in the monetary regulations, the most puzzling is here, currency over-issuance, is the fastest way for the ruler to collect money, Wang Yu painstakingly came up with a bunch of new currency, but not fully issued to the outside world, but only in Qingzhou internal circulation, isn't it strange?

Xun You's suspicion is not unreasonable, and he believes that Qingzhou deliberately raised the ratio of old and new coins in order to seek excess profits.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, his uncle Xun Yu, who was more than ten years younger than him, rejected it.

"Gongda's statement may not be unreasonable, but Qingzhou has taken strict restrictions on the outflow of coins, and there is no similarity or difference in the exchange rate of the exchange office. Xun Yu spread his hands and asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Xun You can't make sense, although he is full of economy and knows the past and the present, but how can he understand the economy, to be precise, financial issues? This is also a common problem of this Confucian child, who looks down on merchants and craftsmen, and of course does not know enough about these people.

If Qingzhou prohibits the circulation of Kaiyuan Tongbao on the surface, and secretly sells it at an increased rate, it echoes the conspiracy theory, but the problem is that although Kaiyuan Tongbao can be seen everywhere in Qingzhou, there are very few of them.

Merchants are discerning, although the workmanship of Kaiyuan Tongbao is more refined than the five-baht coin, and the fineness is sufficient, but its value is only equivalent to three or five five-baht coins at most, ten, which is impossible to compare.

It doesn't hurt to go to Qingzhou to buy goods, anyway, it's just a kind of coin, and the goods are still at that price, at most, the locals in Qingzhou seem to be richer, but that's not enviable.

If someone brings Kaiyuan Tongbao out, it will be very inappropriate, Qingzhou people recognize this, but the outside can not recognize, it is better to barter to bargain.

Therefore, except for a small number of coins that were privately brought out by some people who had other thoughts, Kaiyuan Tongbao only circulated in Qingzhou, and in addition, even Zhang Yan's Western Three Counties and the former Youzhou jurisdiction did not - the Montenegrin Army was willing to use it, but unfortunately Qingzhou refused to let go, and in the end it could only give up.

If Wang Yu wanted to make money by inflating the value of coins, he shouldn't have restricted it so strictly, and there was indeed no trace of Kaiyuan Tongbao anywhere else. The question Xun You pointed out may have profound meaning, but it is certainly not as he said.

"If we don't consider the cause and effect first, and simply discuss the countermeasures, will the imitation have some effect?" Guo Jia said suddenly.

"Imitation?" Including Cao Cao, who had been frowning and listening, everyone's eyes lit up.

Counterfeit money, this is an example that existed as early as the Western Han Dynasty, when the imperial court minted five baht coins. The princes outside secretly imitated it to share the interests of the court. Of course, Hanting hated this, but profit drives people's hearts. Even the emperor was helpless about it. Of course, there is no large-scale imitation, but petty fights are repeatedly prohibited.

Because it is all the bloodline of the Liu family, even a male lord like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can only pinch his nose and admit it in the end, anyway, the meat is rotten in the pot, isn't it?

Now Qingzhou and Luoyang have no jurisdictional relationship, as long as they can harm the enemy, they are good strategies, and they can do everything. The surface value of Kaiyuan Tongbao is higher than the actual value. As long as it can be copied on a large scale and circulated in Qingzhou, on the one hand, it can share the benefits of Qingzhou's prosperity, and on the other hand, it can also destroy Qingzhou's economic order. It's the best way to kill two birds with one stone.

Cao Cao cleared his throat and was about to express his opinions, thinking that he would first determine the tone of an issue, save a thousand troubles, and make everyone at a loss. But before he could speak, he heard someone sigh: "Although the method is good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Dong Zhao who spoke.

"Gong Nhon had been in Hanoi before, and the two places bordered each other. Do you know more about Qingzhou? Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Dong Zhao used to play in Zhang Yang's tent, but secretly he had already been in love with Cao Cao. During the Northern Xinjiang War, Zhang Yang and Lü Bu had frequent contact, and they saw that they were not far from Hanoi. Especially after the Juyong War and Zhang Liao's Eastern Expedition, Zhang Yang was particularly shaken.

Dong Zhao is a smart person, and when he can't be persuaded, he simply works full-time as an undercover agent, and when he occasionally goes on an envoy, he tells the situation in Hanoi and the contacts between Zhang Yang and Puyang.

Cao Cao knew Guo Jia's temper and was worried that Dong Zhao's direct rebuttal would make the young military advisor unhappy, so he pointed out Dong Zhao's identity and eased his cheeks a little.

Recently, the army and the shogunate have been expanding rapidly, and the open and secret battles between the old and new staff are fierce, and Cao Cao does not want his chief adviser to be involved. It is a good thing for the people below to be unified, but this kind of struggle will involve some energy, and the efficiency of doing things will naturally be reduced accordingly.

In fact, he was a little worried, although Guo Jia was a little arrogant, but he was not the kind of temper that was self-respecting and not offensive, he looked at Dong Zhao calmly, and patiently waited for the other party to make further explanations.

"I don't dare to praise Ming Gong, but Hanoi does have more contact with Qingzhou." Dong Zhao arched his hand at Cao Cao to apologize and thank, and explained: "The price of Kaiyuan Tongbao is high, and the world is profit-seeking, how can there be no reason not to plot?" However, if you want to imitate it, there are several difficulties......"

He looked around at everyone and raised his index finger: "First, Kaiyuan Tongbao is finely made, there are both handwriting and patterns on it, and the subtleties can be between the eyebrows and eyes. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few Tongbao from his sleeve and passed them to everyone to see, among which there were gold, silver and copper coins, obviously prepared. Everyone saw it, and they all nodded silently, just the vivid golden dragon diagram is already a very high technical barrier, even if ordinary people have the heart, where do they have this kind of technology and conditions?

"Second, the exchange office in Qingzhou is not fictitious, in addition to exchanging coins, they will also register the information of the person, and the identity will not be checked in detail, but if a large transaction is made, the merchant will check the information with the Department of Commerce. If the information doesn't match, then it's ...... So, imitation is not completely impossible, but it may not have any effect in the end. ”

Everyone looked at each other, never expecting that the exchange office would have such a function. And it was such a simple procedure that resolved Guo Jia's plan.

The technical threshold is not a problem for a big force like Cao Cao, and it may be difficult to imitate Qingzhou's plate armor and bed crossbow, but the obstacles in casting can be easily leveled. At most, the cost is slightly higher, what is it?

But Qingzhou's move can be regarded as blocking the road of imitation.

The higher the similarity, the lower the profit of the fake money, and if it is to be done without flaws, the profit can only be doubled at most. If you can't trade in large quantities in Qingzhou, then you have to disperse a large amount of fake money to many people to purchase, and if you add freight, then whether the profit is enough or not, it is not a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Considering that Guanzhong and Luoyang were seriously damaged by Dong Zhuo's monetary system, things are even more difficult.

After Dong Zhuo minted money, Guanzhong's financial system has completely collapsed. The people have long since stopped using coins, but have returned to the original state of barter, and hard currency is grain and silk.

Cao Cao is known as a powerful minister who rules the world. I also know a little bit about the role of a sound financial system in promoting the economy and people's livelihood, and now Guanzhong is in tatters. It's too late for him to try to restore the credit of the coins, so how can he have time to help Qingzhou?

Cheng Yu said that Qingzhou is short of coins, so the control of the outflow, although not all of them, but it should also explain some problems. Gold, silver and copper are all very precious things, and Qingzhou has not been ruled by chaos for a long time, even if Wang Yu really found gold and silver overseas. Doesn't it take time to move back and forth?

If he really imitated fake money on a large scale, and then adopted the method of avoiding people's eyes and turning it into parts, maybe he would really fall into the pit dug by Wang Yu.

Those present were all high-ranking people. Even if it is not considered by Cao Cao, it will not be too bad, and it will be silent for a while.

Dong Zhao made persistent efforts and continued: "In Zhao's opinion, Qingzhou acts like this. It is indeed profitable, and the benefits are mainly in immigration and trade. ”

Cao Cao was puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Dong Zhao sighed and said: "In recent years, all the princes have focused on the battlefield in Guanzhong, and they have no time to take care of anything else, so they may not know much about it, but in fact, there are quite a lot of people who have moved to Qingzhou in recent years. Take Hanoi, for example. After the defeat of General Yuan, in less than a year that year, the number of households moving to Wei County was as high as 3,000, and then it increased sharply every year. ”

This was indeed unexpected by Cao Cao, of course he knew the importance of population, but the problem was that when he couldn't take care of coming to Tuntian, those hungry people fled, which was still very good for the stability of the territory, so although he paid attention to the flight of hungry people from Yan and Henan, he didn't pay much attention to it.

As for the Shi clan, he didn't think that the Shi clan had the need to flee to Qingzhou, as the world knows, Qingzhou's suppression of Haoqiang began with Wang Kuang, who would go to Qingzhou in a good way?

Dong Zhao's speech this time seemed to be accidental, but in fact, he had been preparing for a long time and put a lot of energy, just waiting for this blockbuster, so as soon as he saw Cao Cao's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking.

"At the beginning, the people who moved to Qingzhou were indeed mainly destitute and hungry, but after Wang Pengju changed the yuan and Qingzhou's affairs were put on track, everything was no longer the same......

Hearing Dong Zhao say this, Cao Cao understood that although the general direction of Qingzhou's new policy remains unchanged, the details have been changing. For example, to suppress Haoqiang, it was an iron-fisted policy at the beginning, but after Wang Yu's power has been stabilized, the iron-fisted policy has become Huairou.

In the current New Deal, the suppression of the powerful is mainly reflected in the loss of privileges of the bureaucracy.

The biggest advantage of the family is that it can concentrate the strength of the whole family, support one person to enter the official career, and then use the privilege of being an official to feed back to the family, so a virtuous circle is formed, as long as you can protect yourself in the political struggle, you can continue to grow, and eventually become a terrifying behemoth like Yuan Valve.

Wang Yu's power was not big at the beginning, and because of Wang Kuang's relationship, he offended Hanoi Haoqiang cleanly, and if he didn't follow the trend and continued to implement the iron-fisted policy to the end, he would be thorny step by step. For example, Tao Qian and Liu Biao are good examples, their decisions are often swayed by local powerful factions, and they cannot fully implement their intentions.

When Wang Yu's power was established, the powerful in the territory only trembled, but his wrists became softer, and he no longer continued to suppress the big family, but revised the rule of officials, and swept away privileges such as tax exemption for the official family.

If he had done this at the beginning, the backlash would definitely not have been small, but the remaining families in Qingzhou were all subdued by Wang Yu, and they were afraid, Wang Yu suddenly took his hand away from their necks, and they couldn't take care of their breathing, how could they have the heart and courage to interfere with this fierce god to change the rule of officials?

Therefore, Qingzhou is quite attractive to those who have no outstanding talents, at least they can maintain peace, and the children who study and learn martial arts also have the opportunity to show their strengths. Although the officials of Qingzhou are not as good as the officials in the past, in addition to the family privileges, there will still be ......"

"Since these families moved to Qingzhou, there is naturally no need to keep the five baht money in their hands, or they have changed the goods locally and brought them into Qingzhou, and they can't buy enough goods, so they can only suffer a loss and exchange for money. This is where Qingzhou's interests lie, and at the same time, this move can also deal a blow to the enemy. ”

"Just as Ming Gong thought, Hanoi County is not only short of people, but also short of money, although it has not been affected by Dong Thief's perverse actions, but the people in the county can still only barter, and materials are extremely scarce. Zhang Yuanjun wanted to take refuge in Qingzhou, not simply because of the strength of the hussar general, or his friendship with Lu Wenhou, but because of the situation, he had to obey. ”

Cao Cao was dumbfounded, speechless, and only after a long time did he sigh, spread his hands, and said self-deprecatingly: "I have some knowledge, not a mediocre talent, but how can I be so ...... in front of my son." It's okay if you can't surpass it, why is it so difficult to even think about it? ”

He is really not generally depressed, his skills are not as good as others, Handan toddler is already very embarrassed, and now he wants to lose face but can't, this is really frustrating, it's like being cut by someone, bitter!
