Chapter 577: The Economic Genius of the Late Han Dynasty
The feast is over! Later, Zhang Xiu and Liu Zhi were still reluctant to say goodbye, and many questions that they couldn't figure out before were answered by Zhang Xiu, which made Liu Ba even more hungry. In the past, Liu Ba had been studying these issues alone. He didn't have anyone to ask for advice at all. Now that I meet Zhang Xiu, I am naturally like a shriveled sponge, constantly absorbing water and enriching myself.
Zhang Xiu and Liu Ba talked about it. ignored the other people, but fortunately, before leaving, he was reminded by Liu Biao, and Zhang Xiu said a few more polite words to everyone. Before talking to Liu Ba, everyone had already agreed to go out under Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu told everyone to go to Zhong La's place tomorrow, and naturally there would be some arrangements. And for Ma Liang and Ma Slow. Zhang Xiu personally explained that the two of them would come to the General's Mansion tomorrow morning to look for him, and there were other arrangements.
When Zhang Xiu left, he invited Liu Ba to the mansion to continue the negotiation. The appearance of Liu Ba gave Zhang Xiu a lot of ideas that he had always wanted to implement but couldn't carry out, and he had people who could handle it. After getting into Zhang Xiu's carriage, Liu Ba continued to ask: "General." What is inflation and deflation? ”
The two questions raised by Liu Ba are probably answered by any person of a certain social age. Zhang Xiu also explained casually according to his understanding. However, Liu Ba is indeed a genius in this area, and after hearing this, he thought for a while, and then muttered: "In this way, coins cannot be issued too much. It must not be issued too little, and it must be issued every year according to the situation of the previous year. In this way, Ba understands why Dong Zhuo's small money was worthless in the first place! And the same is true of five pounds! ”
Zhang Xiu heard it and nodded slightly. It is already a recognized fact that the excessive issuance of Wuqi coins leads to low value, and the previous Han emperors superficially believed that the treasury had no money, and only a large amount of money was needed. As a result, there was a flood of money. Until the modern age before Zhang Xiu crossed. The five-pronged coin was used as an ancient coin. Due to the large number of surviving animals, the price is extremely low.
The problem of coins has always plagued Zhang Xiu, and the reform of the currency system can be said to be a serious provocation to the imperial court, and Zhang Xiu had no strength before. It is simply impossible to do this. But now it's different, after the big victory over Cao Cao, there are no princes in the world who can resist, Zhang Xiu has been thinking about reforming the currency system before, but there is no good host to choose. But now that I have met Liu Ba, Zhang Xiu has found a good candidate.
When you get to the mansion of the general. Zhang Xiu led Liu Ba directly into the study. After sitting down. Zhen Luo personally brought tea to the two. Because Cao Cao's army was in a hurry. Zhang Xiu's acceptance of Mi Zhen and Zhen Luo as concubines was not done in a big way, and it was completed hastily, and at this time, Mi Zhen and Zhen Luo had also lived in the mansion of the fat cavalry general.
After Zhen Luo went out, he heard Zhang Xiu say first: "Zichu, do you think that this will be the time to reform the currency system at this time?" ”
Liu Ba nodded and said: "In addition to the issue of dealing with the imperial court, the general's reform of the currency system at this time is beneficial and harmless. However, Pakistan believes that reforming the currency system is very important. Great generals should not act hastily. ”
After a pause, Liu Ba continued: "Reform the currency system. First of all, a lot of copper is needed. According to Ba Xi, it seems that only Yizhou has more copper in the place under the rule of the general, and Yizhou and Bingzhou are all new places for the general, if you think about it well, the copper in the general's hands should not be much. If you want to mint a large amount of coins, I am afraid that the treasury will be empty. And due to the reopening of the Western Regions Trade Route. However, there was an increase in gold and silver, and not only in the treasury, but also in the private sector, many large merchants had a large amount of gold and silver. This problem also needs to be solved. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this and nodded unconsciously, he didn't expect Liu Ba to see things so clearly. There was a deep groan. Zhang Xiu said: "If you want to mint coins. The copper in his hand was doped with other metals such as lead and zinc. That's enough. In this way, the value of copper coins can be reduced, so that merchants will not be profitable, and they will not melt the money for copper and sell it to the general. However, the problem of more gold and silver in the private sector needs to be solved as soon as possible
As soon as he said this, Zhang Xiu suddenly clapped his hands and said, "There is!" ”
When Liu Ba heard this, he said with some surprise: "What method did the general think of?" ”
Zhang Xiu patted his head and laughed: "How could I not have imagined before, in fact, it is very simple to collect the gold and silver of the people!" Seeing Liu Ba's expectant eyes, Zhang Xiu decided not to hide it anymore. smiled: "It is to let those people who have a lot of gold and silver open a small silver account!" ”
Liu Ba could hear it. Puzzled: "Silver? ”
Zhang Xiu smiled. asked, "Zichu." If you are a businessman, you have to buy a large amount of goods from Chang'an to Chengdu, and this transaction requires a hundred catties of money. If you are a merchant in Chang'an. What do you think is the most convenient way? ”
Liu Ba replied without thinking about it: "Naturally, I transported money into Chengdu by water, which is not only convenient but also reduces thieves along the way!" ”
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "This method is actually inconvenient. Now there would have been a solution. You can let that, Chang'an businessmen go to Chengdu with empty hands to do business. Liu Ba listened. Surprised: "What is it?" ”
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Ben will open a silver account in Chang'an and Chengdu." This Chang'an merchant only needs to put a hundred catties of money in the silver number of Chang'an, and the silver number will issue a certificate of deposit. When this Chang'an merchant arrived in Chengdu. With this deposit certificate, you can go to the silver guide in Chengdu to withdraw the hundred catties of money to do business, how did you think this method at first? ”
Liu Ba listened halfway. There was already a look of admiration on his face, and after Zhang Xiu said. Liu Ba high-fived and said, "Wonderful! It's amazing! As long as silver trumpets are set up in all counties and big cities, after such a long time, will not even copper coins be omitted. Just take the deposit receipt! ”
After Zhang Xiu heard this, he was really surprised by Liu Ba's economic acumen, which is why paper money appeared. Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes." Ben General had already told Zichu at the table that the coin was originally worthless, and its value was given by us. In this way, its practical gold, silver, copper or paper are actually the same, but gold and silver are scarce and copper is more, and paper is more. That's all. In fact, this is the problem of inflation that Fang Ben just mentioned. And once the silver trumpet is opened. We can issue silver tickets or Jiaozi through the silver number. Replace copper coins, so that after a long time, copper can be returned to the treasury in large quantities. ”
Liu Ba couldn't help but nod his head as he listened. In the end, he said to himself: "And because these papers are worthless." Therefore, in order to open a silver trumpet, it is necessary to store a large amount of gold and silver in the silver trumpet.
When the people saw so much gold and silver, they would feel confident that they would put their coins in the silver trumpet, and they would not have to worry that they would not be able to take the coins out. And the general asked the people who held a lot of gold and silver to open a silver trumpet, in fact, they let them put the gold and silver in the silver trumpet. In this way, it is no different from putting it in the treasury.
It is feared that a large amount of surplus silver will flow into the private sector. Haocheng prices are in chaos.
After Zhang Xiu listened. I really have to believe that there is a genius in this world, and Liu Ba can figure out the economic problems in such a short period of time, and he is indeed worthy of the title of genius.
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly: "Of course." This silver trumpet also needs to be established by the Fat Cavalry General's Mansion and the private merchants. After all, if there is a sudden cavalry general's mansion to join. The degree of credibility is also much higher, and the operation can be handled by private businessmen. However, in this case, the relevant laws will have to be established. ”
Liu Ba heard it, nodded and said, "What the general said is reasonable. The establishment of a silver trumpet can solve many problems. If there is too much gold, silver and coins among the people. It can be absorbed by the silver horn. And if there are not enough private coins for circulation, they can be lent out through the silver number."
Hearing Liu Ba's words, Zhang Xiu was already speechless. This kid is really a genius among geniuses. It can really draw inferences from one example. The problem between silver and circulation alone can invent the problem of deflation by lending money through silver trumpets. At this time, Zhang Xiu was secretly thinking in her heart: "I can't talk to this kid anymore." Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have enough goods
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu immediately interrupted Liu Ba's muttering and said to him: "Zichu, early tomorrow morning, you will go to discuss the establishment of the silver number with the Mi family, the Zhen family, and several other family owners who have the right to speak in the Chamber of Commerce.
Convey the meaning of the general, and when the silver trumpets are built in various places, we will discuss the reform of the currency system. Thou shalt then negotiate with the people of the Chamber of Commerce to make the rules for the silver trumpet, and then bring them to the general
Liu Ba heard this, and naturally nodded yes. Zhang Xiu saw that Liu Ba still wanted to continue talking, so he hurriedly said: "Zichu." It's not too early. Tomorrow you will have to talk to the people of the Chamber of Commerce. Why don't you go back and write down your thoughts first?
When Liu Ba heard this, he nodded excitedly and said, "What the general said is reasonable, so Naba will leave first!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Xiu to speak. He immediately took his leave.
Zhang Xiu looked at the figure of Liu Ba leaving. It was a light wipe of the cold sweat on his forehead. At this time, I heard a laugh like a silver bell. After Zhang Xiu heard this, a wicked smile appeared on his face and said, "Luo'er." Come out, or your husband will come and spank your ass. ”
As soon as the words fell, a beautiful figure turned in outside, it was Zhen Luo. I saw Zhen Luo's face flushed. Gently closed the door, and then glanced at Zhang Xiu, and said with a small mouth: "I didn't expect that our all-powerful general of the sudden cavalry also had a time when he was deflated," and giggled while covering his small mouth.
Zhang Xiu saw it, but he stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhen Luo's jade hand, and then pulled it towards him. Zhen Luo exclaimed "ah", and the whole person fell into Zhang Xiu's arms.
A fragrant wind came to his face, but Zhang Xiu was a little uneasy. raised his left palm and slapped it heavily on Zhen Luo's buttocks, so painful that Zhen Luo almost burst into tears. I saw Zhen Luo with watery eyes, looking at Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu saw Zhen Luo's delicate red lips, and couldn't help it anymore, so she kissed it directly, greedily absorbing the sweet liquid in Zhen Luo's mouth.
The long kiss between the two lasted for more than ten breaths, and the kiss made Zhen Luo panting, and at the same time, his temples became scattered and his clothes became untidy.
After Zhang Xiu saw it, he smiled evilly: "See if you dare to say bad things about your husband?"
When Zhen Luo heard this, he showed an aggrieved look and said, "Luo'er is just a wonderful idea of Zanfujun's Jianzhen Silver Trumpet." In this way, it will be much easier for the merchants of the world to do business
Zhang Xiu heard this, and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've heard your praise for my husband." ”
Zhen Luo heard it and glanced at Zhang Xiu. said: "Before, Luo'er just didn't say it. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu showed a wicked smile again, and said, "So Luo'er used to secretly promise her husband's heart?"
When Zhen Luo heard this, the powder fist immediately fell on Zhang Xiu's chest, and he said, "I hate it!" ”
This Zhen Luo knocked down Zhang Xiu's chest with a powder fist, but the towering Jade Girl Peak on his chest kept rubbing against Zhang Xiu's thighs. In this way, it was even more exciting for Zhang Xiu. Counting that Zhang Xiu has not been close to a woman for more than half a year, Zhen Luo is so provocative, coupled with her springy eyes, where can Zhang Xiu bear it. His hands directly wrapped around Zhen Luo, and his mouth kissed Zhen Luo's lips again.
While kissing. His hands kept roaming over Zhen Luo's body. Zhen Luo didn't resist either, and couldn't help but let out a nice soft hum.
Zhang Xiu's right hand was kneading on Zhen Luo's Jade Girl Peak, but her left hand was already under her skirt. When Zhang Xiu's hand was withdrawn, he saw that his hands were full of crystals. I saw Zhang Xiu shake his left hand in front of Zhen Luo, and smiled evilly.
Seeing this, Zhengluo's face turned even redder, and he said, "I hate it!" Then he buried his head in Zhang Xiu's arms and refused to come out again.
Zhang Xiu was hugged by Zhen Luo like this, and her happiness spread throughout her heart, and she was also hugged back. The two of them just hugged each other, motionless. Feel the deep sense of well-being that surrounds this silence.
After a long time, Zhen Luo suddenly leaned his head on Zhang Xiu's shoulder, bit Zhang Xiu's ear lightly with his small mouth, and whispered, "Husband." want me".
This whisper completely ignited the fire in Zhang Xiu's heart. The next moment. Zhang Xiu picked up Zhen Luo a little roughly, and walked to the couch in a few steps to hold Zhen Luo down. kissed the beauty in his arms again, and the clothes on Zhen Luo's body began to decrease one by one. Soon the jade body as white as mutton fat jade was revealed, and Zhang Xiu could not bear it anymore at this time, and after disarming himself, he went directly into the battle.
Soon, there was a cry of pain in the room, followed by the sultry moans of the woman and the heavy gasps of the man. It's cold outside, but it's springy inside. The sultry sound didn't stop until more than half an hour later.
On the bed. In the middle of the white silk cloth, you can clearly see a little bit of red, as beautiful as a flower. Zhang Xiu hugged the beauty who had fallen asleep, and a strong sense of satisfaction rose in her heart. kissed Zhen Luo's smooth forehead lightly, and muttered to himself: "From now on, you are also my Zhang Xiu's woman!" I will do everything in my power to protect you, that's my promise."
I don't know if Zhen Luo heard Zhang Xiu's words, but at this moment, he stretched out his hand and hugged Zhang Xiu, and whispered, "Husband,"
Zhang Xiu chuckled a few times, and soon fell asleep together. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the busy. More chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
