Chapter 647: Jingzhou in Turmoil
Ma Teng rushed to Xudu with three thousand old and weak, and Zhou Yu arranged everything and then repaired a letter to Nanyang Zhang Xiu, persuading him to surrender to him as soon as possible. Zhang Xiu has been entrenched in Nanyang for many years, and now Luoyang is also in his hands, losing a small prince, he and his uncle Zhang Ji live a free life, even if Zhou Yu is powerful, he may not be able to attack the impregnable Nanyang County.
No matter how Zhang Xiu thought, Jia Xu had already received an order from Zhou Yu to mobilize Huang Zhong's troops to cooperate with the action and completely take the entire territory of Jingzhou. In the past few years, Jia Xu has not been idle, the shadow under his command has been re-planned, and the shadow is divided into five levels according to the different secrets, gold medal secret agent, silver medal secret agent, bronze medal secret agent, iron secret agent, wooden secret agent, the promotion system is determined according to the information provided and the location, and the identity of all secret agents is top secret. These intelligence agents are unified into the intelligence group, as well as the assassination group, the hoe and rape group, the monitoring group, the wrecker removal group, the logistics group, and the staff group, and the six groups have become the core of the shadow. The Intelligence Unit is the most extensive and the most mixed, and is responsible for gathering all intelligence and spying on important enemy situations; The assassination team is responsible for carrying out the assassination mission of the enemy, and the hoe team is responsible for removing the hidden stakes in the middle of the shadows and the people who defect to the enemy; The monitoring team supervises the interior of the shadow internally, and externally supervises all the people under Zhou Yu's command; The wrecker team is responsible for clearing the obstacles in the task and helping the person performing the task to settle the necessary identities and circumstances; The logistics team is responsible for providing all day-to-day needs; The staff group is to analyze the intelligence and formulate a plan. After subdivision, Zhou Yu specially built a compound in Yangzhou and named it Eagle Tower. This place is not at all inconspicuous, and most people still think that this is a very ordinary miscellaneous compound, and intelligence work has always been as secretive as possible.
If you say who loses more money now? Many people will say that it is the China Commercial Bank, the behind-the-scenes boss of this commercial bank has never shown up, many people want to find out the identity of the mysterious boss, and no one has been able to enter the senior management of the Chinese Commercial Bank, but the credibility of the Chinese Commercial Bank is the first, as long as the dart company under his command takes the dart, it will definitely protect them to the designated place, the Chinese Commercial Bank is both mysterious and frightening-
The wealth of Jingzhou City has been accumulated for several lifetimes, and relying on the waters of the Yangtze River, I don't know how much foreign wealth I have eaten, and many wealthy merchants and families have lived in seclusion here to make a fortune. The circulation currency of the Han Dynasty is five baht money, gold and silver are hard currency, most of the common people and merchants are using five baht money, because the five baht money is a round square hole can be threaded into a string of ropes, ten five baht money is consistent, one hundred can be exchanged for one or two silver, and so on the exchange of currency extends upward. Five-baht coins are minted with a lot of copper ore, and all the mining at this time is very laborious, and gold, silver, copper and iron are relatively scarce materials.
In order to be able to increase wealth more, there was a private minting of inferior five-baht coins to make huge profits, if it is said that during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there were seven cents of copper for five-baht coins, and only three cents of copper were left for inferior five-baht coins. In the era when iron was not very developed, copper was slightly precious.
"How is the current five-baht coin exchange in Jingzhou City?" Jia Xu looked a little old but his eyes were bright, and he had already used Jingzhou as the first test point under the influence of Zhou Yu, that is, to defeat Jingzhou with five baht coins.
"Back to the owner's words - since last year our people scattered all over Jingzhou to put our newly minted five-baht money into Jingzhou, both the common people and businessmen are very fond of our beautiful new money, plus we are in the preferential policy of one for five, there have been 10 million new money into Jingzhou, equivalent to one million taels of silver, the use of old money in the market is almost not seen, new money has begun to circulate in Jingzhou in large quantities, and now only some of the people who can take out the old money are still in stock, do you want to increase the exchange efforts?" A year ago, a Xinde money village suddenly appeared in Jingzhou, and began to exchange new money for money, at first people were in a wait-and-see attitude, but people gradually found that whether it is a silk village, a grain store, a blacksmith shop, a restaurant, or a restaurant all use new money to settle accounts, plus an old money in Xinde money can be exchanged for five new money, which virtually multiplied the assets by five times, no one will question why Xinde money would do such a stupid thing, Jingzhou began to go crazy to exchange.
At the beginning, after the people exchanged, the life of the family suddenly became much better, after all, changing to five is equivalent to the rhythm of falling money in the sky. The merchants and clans in Jingzhou couldn't sit still, and they exchanged the old money for new money. The new money is very exquisitely minted, the copper color on the appearance is more pure, and the weight does not need to be less than the old money. Some people have found that new money will not fade whether it is burned with fire or blistered with water, and after some people have done such experiments, the circulation of new money has greatly increased, and money that will not deteriorate or be damaged is the real treasure. No one knows that Zhou Yu's new money is just added with a layer of copper powder plated on the outside, and the polishing operation is very intensive. The middle sandwich Zhou Yu uses an internal fire material, similar to the refractory bricks of later generations, and such a material is a must in terms of weight and hardness.
"Well—that's enough! The order went down - Xinde Qian Zhuang began to withdraw from Jingzhou tomorrow, and the rest of the commercial banks began to stop using new money, and all settlements were made with real money, and all prices were raised by five times. Put a bowl of strong vinegar in each shop, old money can be collected, and new money will never be collected-" Jia Xu didn't expect that Zhou Yu's practice of exchanging money would change the circulation of a state and county in a short period of time, and he had already estimated how much shock Zhou Yu would cause by doing so.
"No—subordinates obey!"
"General Huang - let's start putting our armaments in order! It's going to change-" The weather in Jingzhou is not too hot, but it is a little damp and dreary, and he is shaking a banana fan in his hand, looking like an old man next door.
"What does the doctor mean to have a big fight? Is the lord going to send troops to take the entire territory of Jingzhou this time? Huang Zhong was a little excited when he said these words, he had already Jin Ge immediately prepared to kill Jingzhou to take down Liu Biao Lao'er's dog head, this guy repeatedly attacked Xiangyang, so that he was not able to kill the Huns, although Zhou Yu was promoted to his own official, but he still wanted to make contributions.
"General, don't be impatient - this time you don't need to make a big move, you just need to block the main transportation routes in Jingzhou and wait for a month if you want to send troops! Alas - the weather in the south has really rusted the old bones, how about a drink with the old ones? Jia Xu's slow and logical speech made Huang Zhong confused.
For the people of Jingzhou, sleeping for a day is equivalent to the sky falling, food can't be bought, clothes can't be worn, what oil, salt, sauce and vinegar suddenly go crazy, the new money at home has become useless stones overnight, and wherever you go, as long as you use five baht money, it will be soaked in vinegar and become useless bricks.
On the first day, it was just a panic, and on the second day it was a little better, and it was sure that after staying in the land of fish and rice for a while and not starving to death, but after ten days, many people had begun to eat weeds. Suddenly, it was rumored that someone had robbed and succeeded, and the common people did everything to survive and change their children, not to mention that someone took the lead in robbing? The cool breeze is swaying, and Jingzhou is starting to mess up-
