"Wenyue." Jia Rong said in a low voice: "I've come to see you." ”

A few exquisite dishes and two bottles of bright wine were quickly placed in the prison by the lone wolf soldiers.

The damp and gloomy environment made Jia Rong frown slightly.

"General." Han Sui didn't get up, just greeted lightly.

"Wenyue, what happened in the city, you should already know that Cheng Gongying and Cheng Mu's father and son collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, collaborated with the men in black to assassinate officials, and sold weapons in craftsmen's workshops." Jia Rong said slowly.

"The old man understands what the general means, the old man dies without regrets, he just hopes that the general can treat the old man's family well." Han Sui's voice was flat, and he didn't show any panic or other emotions because he was about to be killed.

Jia Rong said: "Don't worry, Wenyue will not be able to cause trouble to your family." ”

"I thought that when I fought the general for the first time, I should attack Pingxiang with all my strength and not give the general any chance." Han Sui said suddenly.

Jia Rong said with a smile: "Wenyue, when you think of the original war, you were also careless. ”

After the two talked for a long time, Jia Rong left the prison.

Han Sui's death still touched Jia Rong a lot, in this era, either you become a strong person feared by everyone in the world, or you die in battle and become an unobtrusive wave in the long river of history.

After Han Suicheng Gongying was executed, almost all the guards around Jia Rong were replaced, and the soldiers guarding the craftsman's workshop were also adjusted, and the management of the craftsman's workshop became stricter.

These delays have caused panic in the city, and the normal operation of the craftsman's workshop has also been affected to a certain extent, Jia Rong has particularly strengthened the control of the craftsman, and the control of weapons is more strict.

Wang Yue did not show any resistance to Li Ying and Li Yu joining the assassination, he knew that the assassination could not be completely decided by him Wang Yue, Jia Rong had also placed people in the assassination many times, since he chose to do things for the Xiliang Army, he could only compromise, and he also knew that Jia Rong could not allow an independent existence in the army.

Wandering in officialdom, there is also some time, for these situations, Wang Yue turned a blind eye and passed.

Half a month after the Man in Black incident, the General's Mansion announced the establishment of the first bank in Dahan, named Xiliang Bank, and the symbol of the bank is two intersecting swords, indicating that the bank was established in the war, even if it costs a lot, the Xiliang Army will pay everything to defend the bank.

Needless to say, the reputation of the General's Mansion was naturally worth it, and after understanding some of the bank's regulations, many merchants exchanged some money coupons.

The denominations of the money issued by the bank ranged from one dime to one hundred, following the system of later coins, and one dime was equivalent to one penny at this time.

The banknote is engraved with a scimitar of the cavalry of the Xiliang Army, majestic, lifelike, anti-counterfeiting measures also have a lot of ways, so as not to make fakes, can not deny the wisdom of the ancients, their means of counterfeiting, than the later generations are not much worse, take the fairy love as an example, there have been a lot of imitations, but there is no real secret recipe, these fairy love can be seen at a glance, but the people who are greedy for cheap will not care so much, the real nobles, or have always used the authentic fairy love, This is also one of the reasons why Xianlian Pavilion has been prosperous in the Han Dynasty for a long time.

The issuance of the bank has set off a storm in Dahan, and it is much more convenient to replace money with paper money to a certain extent, but all the money has become controlled by the Xiliang army. These banknotes were bought for real gold.

For the time being, the bank is only circulating under the rule of the Xiliang Army, which means that the paper money in the hands of the merchant is a piece of waste paper when it reaches the jurisdiction of other princes, and it has no effect, but this kind of paper money can also be circulated among the merchants of the princes.

Mi Jiawei family is very responsive, almost half of the family property into paper money, in this era, businessmen do business also want to make a convenient, large amount of business, out of the goods money, is a burden, but the use of paper money is not needed, only dozens of sandalwood boxes, you can buy a fleet of things, but the premise is that these banknotes can be really implemented in the Han Dynasty.

There are still certain restrictions on the implementation of paper money, first of all, the businessmen do not have complete trust, and the Mi family who joined the bank has a close relationship with the Wei family and the Xiliang Army.

I have to say that the implementation of paper money has made it much more convenient for businessmen in Chang'an City, and they don't have to carry heavy money when they go out, they only need a light paper money to buy things, and merchants and hawkers have to collect it.

The people are simple, the money is safe in the hands and at home, a paper banknote, can replace so much money, let them feel very uneasy, the street is still to use money, not paper money.

For these, Jia Rong did not make mandatory requirements, it needs a subtle process, it is impossible to reach the sky in one step, and when the people really discover the convenience of paper money, they will definitely use it.

Merchants are easy to trade, but it does not mean that other princes will cooperate, after they saw the threat of the Xiliang army to set up a bank, they also listed countermeasures, encouraging merchants to use money in the city, suppressing the paper money issued by the general's mansion.

In the eyes of Jia Xu and others, there have been so many whimsical ideas, paper money is just one of them, looking at the fairy love pavilion or the moonlight cup, which is not a great move, but these strategists definitely do not know how to suppress the princes through the bank, once the princes find that the bank has such benefits, they will definitely set up their own bank, and at that time, it is the arrival of the war between merchants.

After disposing of the general affairs of the bank, Jia Rong determined that the standing soldiers of the Xiliang army were 150,000 people, and the number of troops was not increased.

The scale is unprecedentedly large, and many teams under the leadership of the generals of various ministries walk in the territory under the rule of the Xiliang Army, encouraging the people to join the army, and then after strict selection, those who do not meet the requirements will not be hired.

Becoming a soldier of the Xiliang Army is the dream of many men, and the reaction from all over the country is very strong.

The defeat of Yan Rou in Youzhou, the surrender of Liu He, and the rapid pace of the Xiliang army made Yuan Shao feel unprecedented panic, and he continued to recruit troops and horses to guard against the sneak attack of the Xiliang army.

Not only Yuan Shao panicked, but Cao Cao was also frightened by the speed of expansion of such an ally.

Jia Rong seemed to be bent on developing his strength, and after occupying Youzhou, he did not show any intention of marching, and the battle that occurred in Qingzhou once again focused the eyes of the people of the world on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Cao's army attacked Le'an with surprise soldiers and defeated Yuan's army, intending to drive Yuan's army out of Qingzhou completely.

On the one hand, Yuan's army had to resist the pressure from the Western Liang army at any time, and also sent a large army to Qingzhou to resist Cao Cao.

Yuan Shao was anxious for a while, the strength of the Yuan army is quite a lot, there are 200,000 people, but in addition to guarding against the army of the Xiliang army, there are only more than 100,000 real combatable soldiers, and the Cao army is strong, almost invincible in the Central Plains, and the strength of the Xiliang army has a fight, but in the face of such an enemy, Yuan Shao does not have any fear, mentioning Jia Rong, he may not have the will to fight, but with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao has a strong confidence to be able to defeat.

Since childhood's playmate, Yuan Shao still has a certain understanding of Cao Cao, after the war in Le'anguo, Yuan Shao strengthened the vigilance of Qingzhou on the one hand, and the defense of Jizhou was also strengthened to prevent Cao Cao's sneak attack.

The two sides were very happy to fight in Qingzhou, and the envoys from Jizhou also arrived in Chang'an.

Seeing the hustle and bustle of Chang'an, the people and businessmen rubbed shoulders, Xu You couldn't help but sigh: "Chang'an is prosperous, it's really true!" ”

The main street of Chang'an can accommodate eight horses riding side by side, but the roads walked by merchants and officials are different, and ordinary people are not allowed to walk on the official roads casually.

Xu You's luxurious carriage appeared on the official road, which immediately caused the people and businessmen next to him to stop and watch, in Chang'an, to be able to use such a carriage, the identity must be unusual, there are more than 100 soldiers around the carriage, such a formation, unless important officials in Chang'an travel, Xu You is very useful.

The good times didn't last long, and a team of horses appeared in front of Xu You's carriage, numbering about fifty people, each soldier was a big horse scimitar, standing quietly in place, looking at Xu You's carriage with a look that seemed to be a little unkind.

Xu You in the carriage said with a smile: "I didn't expect the general to send someone to greet him." ”

The general on the side said: "Your Excellency has a prominent position under General Yuan, even if Jia Rong personally came to greet him, it is not an exaggeration!" ”

Xu You was very useful to the general's sycophant, and said with a smile: "After returning to Jizhou, Lord Ben will say a lot of good things for you in front of the general." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The generals were overjoyed.

"Stop!" Mi Wei shouted majestically.

The convoy did not receive an order and continued on its way.

After Mi Wei was stunned for a while, he gave an order, and the cavalry took their bows and arrows and aimed at Xu You's convoy.

The onlookers saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly retreated to the side.

After listening to the soldier's report, Xu You felt that something was wrong and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"My lord, those cavalrymen stopped the carriage!" The general said.

Xu You's face changed slightly, and he said without hesitation: "Stop!" ”
