Chapter 94: Economic Crisis
Yes, the revenge of his fiancΓ©e's robbery, how can Sima Yi swallow it.
Therefore, this is the dark chun who immediately contacted Xuzhou to collect all kinds of news.
He wants to take revenge on Lu Bu, and it is best to cut off Lu Bu's dog head with his own hands.
Soon, Sima Yi discovered a major piece of information.
That is, the pace of Lu Bu's development is too big, and the various expenditures are simply countless.
The cannon and bullets Sima Yi didn't know, but he knew that Lu Bu was building a kind of cable, and this kind of cable required a lot of copper.
This kind of cable has already begun to be erected, and the news cannot be hidden.
Therefore, Sima Yi has every reason to believe that the current Lu Bu is definitely negative equity.
In other words, the money in Lu Bu's bank must be empty. All depositors' gold, silver and copper coins were exchanged for worthless banknotes.
At the time of the Cao Yuan struggle, many families in the north deposited their money in the Bank of Xuzhou, wanting to be protected.
And now that the two states have stabilized, these families will definitely start to withdraw money from the Bank of Xuzhou to use it.
If you take advantage of it, it will make depositors withdraw a large amount of money from Xuzhou Bank. Then, Lu Bu will definitely have no money to support, and there will definitely be a big chaos.
Although there is no complete economic theory, Sima Yi fully understands these simple truths.
And Cao Pi is naturally not a fool, as soon as Sima Yi explained, he immediately understood that there was a lot to be done in this matter.
It's just that with his own strength, he definitely can't give Lu Bu a fatal blow.
Therefore, Cao Pi immediately reported the matter to Cao Cao.
In the last slave riot, although Cao Cao criticized him, his eyes showed appreciation.
Therefore, Cao Pi is very confident. I believe that once this plan comes out, it will definitely be favored by Cao Cao again.
Sure enough, after listening to it, Cao Cao was overjoyed.
This has just been merged, and it has a good policy, how Cao Cao doesn't like it. For Cao Pi's son, he was naturally impressed.
It's just that Cao Cao didn't know that this was actually Sima Yi's strategy.
Last time, Lu Bu led troops to force him, and Cao Cao still remembered it. Of course, this revenge must be avenged.
And with Cao Cao's decision, then things will be easy to do.
After getting the exact news, the corners of Sima Yi's mouth raised, and he instantly sneered: "Lu Bu, you can't die well!" β
This is the self-confidence of a strategist, a top strategist.
Even without a single soldier, he can stir up the world.
What's more, Sima Yi is a person who is familiar with military books.
Just when Cao Cao and others were plotting against Lu Bu, Lu Bu happened to have a big battle with Xu Ying at this moment.
"You have no conscience, you will bully others as soon as you come!" Xu Ying said coquettishly.
Lu Bu smiled: "Then do you want to bully your husband!" β
"Yes!" Xu Ying hurriedly hugged Lu Bu, very reluctant.
It's just that she also knew that Lu Bu must have come for something, so she couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are you here this time for something urgent?" β
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Well, my husband is in urgent need of money now, so I want to get some from the Wa Kingdom to Xuzhou." β
"How much?"
Lu Bu frowned slightly: "At least 10 billion dollars!" β
"What, ten billion!" Xu Ying couldn't help but be shocked: "This, this is too much, where can I get 10 billion money!" β
Lu Bu smiled: "I brought a lot of products from Xuzhou, and I forced the subjects of the Japanese State to buy them." Both nobles and commoners must purchase the quantity specified by the king. β
"I see!" Xu Ying exhaled: "What about the price?" β
"Double the price!"
There was no way, Lu Bu wanted to sell it more expensively. But now it is urgently needed, and it is a compulsory purchase, and it can only be set at twice the price of Dahan.
After listening to Lu Bu's prices, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that this matter was not difficult.
Because of Lu Bu's various products, they were already loved by the subjects of the Wa State.
Twice the price, which is actually lower than the price it was sold before.
It's just that it's now a mandatory purchase, which leads to an emotional backlash.
But if it rebounds again, Lu Bu urgently needs it, and Xu Ying has to do it.
"Rest assured, the concubine will solve your problems!"
Lu Bu's heart moved, and he couldn't help touching Xu Ying: "Don't worry, after Tianhao can take charge of the Han country, my husband will take you back to Xuzhou." β
Xu Ying's eyes were red, but she sighed: "As long as the husband can come to see the concubine from time to time, the concubine will be satisfied." Whether you go to Xuzhou or not, it doesn't matter if the concubine is there. β
Lu Bu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this king will definitely come to see you from time to time!" β
Yes, Lu Bu and Xu Ying had a son, and Lu Bu named him Lu Tianhao.
And now the Wa Kingdom has basically been unified, so LΓΌ Bu renamed it the Han Kingdom.
From then on, there was no known as the Wa State, and the Han Dynasty was the first colonial state of LΓΌ Bu.
Since he came to the Han country, Lu Bu naturally wanted to learn more about the situation in the Han country.
What made Lu Bu happy was that Ye Xiang really didn't disappoint him.
Not only did he manage the Han country in an orderly manner, but even hybrid rice was studied.
It's only a double production, but it's a huge increase.
This means that from now on, you can get twice as much rice. There are naturally more people who can feed them.
Moreover, a large amount of money was obtained during the war to unify the Japanese kingdom.
With this money, it is basically not far from Lu Bu's goal of 10 billion yuan.
It is equivalent to transferring money directly from the treasury of the Han country to Xuzhou.
The only trouble is that Lu Bu only needs gold and silver, and he has to exchange all kinds of money.
It will also take quite a long time to promote his banknotes in the colonial powers.
At the same time, the Great Han Kingdom.
A large amount of unfavorable news circulated throughout the country.
What Lu Bu melted all the copper coins and used them to make what I don't know what the so-called cable.
Now there is no copper coin in Xuzhou Bank. Lu Bu exchanged paper money for all the gold, silver and jewelry, which was a big scam.
All of a sudden, depositors from all over the country sent people to exchange gold, silver and copper coins.
Just kidding, where can paper money compare to gold and silver, of course, real money is real money.
All of a sudden, the funds in various banks under Lu Bu's rule were in an emergency, and a riot was about to break out.
Because in fact, the farther away from Xuzhou, the news came out first.
Its purpose is to give Lu Bu the greatest trauma in the shortest possible time.
When the news reached Xiapi, how could the important ministers not be in a hurry.
The left and right ministers immediately met and began to discuss strategies.
First of all, it is necessary to immediately send troops and horses to protect the city in case of a riot.
Again, it is necessary to find a way to dispel rumors and quell the impulse of a large number of savers to withdraw money.
However, where this is a rumor, this is obviously true.
If you don't let the money out, there will definitely be a riot right away.
Outside depositors are not scary yet, because there is not much money. The real depositors are all local depositors in Xuzhou.
Because in Xuzhou, paper money is basically about to replace copper coins.
Officials' salaries are paper money, soldiers' salaries are paper money, and people's wages are paper money.
At first, everyone had to go to the bank to exchange gold, silver and copper coins for use, but over time, they found that there was no other use except trouble, and paper money gradually became popular in Xuzhou.
And now there is a lot of news that if the people of Xuzhou go to exchange copper coins, it will definitely be a catastrophe.
Chen Gong and Pang Tong had to quickly report the news to Lu Bu, and at the same time asked Queen Guo to think of a way.
At this time, of course, the Propaganda Department will play its role.
After Queen Guo got the news, how could she not be shocked.
Knowing the terrible consequences, Queen Guo immediately dispatched.
