Chapter 234: Black-faced Cao Cao, what's the situation with the people this time?
"A decisive battle after the beginning of spring?"
Everyone's pupils trembled in unison and exclaimed.
They never expected that Cao Cao would want to fight in such a hurry, you know, the decisive battle at the beginning of spring can indeed catch Yuan Shao off guard, but Cao Jun also did not ease up.
"Lord, the decisive battle in the early spring is too hasty, and the three armies are in trouble, if you can drive straight into the battle this time, it will naturally be a good thing,"
"But once it reaches a stalemate, our army will inevitably be the first to be war-weary, so it will collapse at the first touch, and we must not be in a hurry." Xun Yu said in a deep voice.
"That's right, although Yuan Shao is ambitious and talented, but the capable people under his command are like carp crossing the river, if the lord attacks these people urgently, he will definitely know the lasting strategy."
"In this way, whether it is to negotiate with Chu Feng or to fight with Yuan Shaojun, it will fall into inferiority." Xun You also suggested that it is a good thing to cover up his unpreparedness by surprise.
But this battle is too risky.
It can be said that once the expected effect is not achieved, Cao Cao will definitely pay several times the price for it!
Seeing that Er Xun stood up at the same time to veto his strategy, Cao Cao directly raised his eyebrows, he also knew the cost and consequences of doing so.
The advantage is that it is possible that Yuan Shao will be defeated at the touch of a button, and even directly trapped in Yecheng, and as for Gongsun Zan in the north, he can even stand up again.
"Lord, it's better to let go of the envoy for the time being, check and balance Chu Feng first, and see the situation. As for Hebei, it is better to follow what Gongda said before,"
"Transporting grain and leaving it behind, repairing the city, and fighting the army." Guo Jia also suggested that Cao Cao fought one after another, and the soldiers were already war-weary.
Hearing that all of his think tanks had vetoed his risky move, Cao Cao fell into deep thought again, thinking about how to break the situation.
If it's just Yuan Shao, forget it,
Chu Feng in the south of the key was like a fish in his throat, and he hit it twice without any effect, Cao Cao was almost sure that Chu Feng would definitely do it.
Seeing Cao Cao's haggard and sad face, Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "The lord has never fought uncertain battles, but today he has changed his normal state to seek a rapid battle, I'm afraid it's because of Chu Feng, right?" ”
Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Chu Feng is cheating, I have a hunch that he will inevitably give me a heavy knife in the rear, so this battle is bound to be like this, it is better to take a risk,"
This is Cao Cao's intuition, Xun You said that the deployment is indeed no problem, but he does have some shadows, and he is always at ease with Chu Feng.
"Hehe, the lord is too worried."
"First, Chu Feng's launch of a new currency may not need us to promote, and it will be a mess of its own."
"Second, Guanzhong is fertile for thousands of miles, and if the lord is still not at ease in the coming year, he can move some of the people of the Central Plains to Guanzhong, even if the Central Plains loses Guanzhong, he can still balance the world."
"Third, the lord has not forgotten, Yuan Shao is a scheming person, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, if the lord is in a hurry, Yuan Jun will be difficult to deal with,"
Cheng Yu stroked his beard and chuckled, he understood Cao Cao's thoughts, in his opinion, Cao Cao was wise and martial, but he didn't expect to be left such a heavy shadow by Chu Feng.
"That's it!" Cao Cao nodded: "Then follow Gongda's layout first, as for Chu Feng's side, let the scouts keep an eye on it at all times, and report it immediately if there is any movement." ”
"No!" Everyone nodded.
In the end, Guo Jia's envoy plan was put on hold for the time being, and he waited and saw what negative situations would be brought about by the new currency under Chu Feng's rule.
——
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
In Yangzhou, people all over the country can only be said to be full of praise for the new currency, the old currency to buy grain at least 2,000 yuan a hundred, they exchange for the new currency has an exclusive discount,
Eight hundred dollars a hundred!
It is equivalent to a direct 20% discount on the price of grain.
Not only food, but also all kinds of cloth, refined salt, etc., all have discounts, which means that instead of losing money, they will make money.
This is also what Chu Feng launched before, to benefit the people, and finally cut the leeks of the family, and this batch of lost money is destined to be borne by the families from all over the world.
The key is that they are still dumb and eat coptis, and they can't say that they have bitterness, in their opinion, they don't change new coins for the time being, and they are not in a hurry.
As a result, hundreds of people in the territory are enthusiastic to exchange.
All the people of Chu Feng gave a thumbs up, they hadn't seen an official who was dedicated to serving the people for many years, and almost every household had Chu Feng's immortal card.
Because of Chu Feng's new currency, in just a few days, the people can clearly feel that the money in their hands has become valuable, which is 10,000 times stronger than the officials who collect the people's fat and people's ointment.
The key is that Chu Feng has done so much for the people, but there is no publicity, it is all the people who take the initiative to spread it, and they also know that Chu Feng did all this.
Because of this, the recruitment offices in various places have recently welcomed many young people to sign up to join the army, some of them are voluntary, and some are required by the elders of the family.
As ordinary people, they are not qualified to choose a superior like Chu Feng, but they can do their best to let the heirs of their families sign up for the army.
At the same time, an edict from the imperial court spread.
Probably means that Chu Feng privately minted coins, was lawless, did not respect the Han Dynasty, and specially issued an edict to the world, ordering Chu Feng's privately minted coins to be useless, and the court did not approve it.
And asked Chu Feng to destroy the coins immediately!
And the content of this series has been passed on by the common people, but the reviews are not very good.
"Damn, the Han court is really shameless, my own five baht money has been made into a miasma, we have suffered greatly, if it weren't for the Duke of Chu to calm the prices for us, I'm afraid we would have starved to death on the streets."
"That's right, Duke Chu is kind and righteous, dedicated to the people, and it is inevitable to offend the court, because of this, we can't let Duke Chu face it alone, no matter what, my Wangjia Village supports Duke Chu, even if he is deceived, he is willing."
"That's right, the new currency is the cornerstone of Chu Gong's consideration for our people, if we don't even support ourselves, then who do we expect to uphold justice for us?"
"I'm the same, I support Duke Chu unconditionally!"
"Yes, let's face it together, I'll go back and exchange all the copper coins at home for new coins."
"Everyone go back and take a look, all the money left at home is taken out in exchange for new coins, although the old man is old, he is not old and dizzy, Chu Gong is dedicated to the people, how can we let him chill?"
The old man took the initiative to stand up and speak out.
And there are many similar situations,
For a time, all parts of the territory were filled with righteous indignation, and all of them spoke out for Chu Feng, and Cao Cao's edict not only did not achieve results, but made the people everywhere more cohesive.
Supporting Chu Feng is even more unprecedented,
As for the edict of the imperial court, heh, that's just a joke!
——
General's Office,
Lu Su came over with great interest and said urgently: "Lord, Cao Cao issued an edict in the name of Emperor Han, questioning our coins, and crowning them with lawlessness. ”
"However, because of this measure, people everywhere have become more cohesive, and the number of exchangers has increased instead of decreasing, which can be said to be a miracle!"
"Today, the new currency swap can be said to be extremely successful, and the prices of various items are actually falling at a rate that is visible to the naked eye."
"Hehe, lawlessness?"
Chu Feng chuckled, slowly put down the Chinese book, and then said solemnly: "Don't pay attention to those gang of beam-jumping clowns, keep an eye on it, punish those who steal and play tricks, and don't let the family use the people to profit from it." ”
"As for the fact that this market price is getting cheaper and cheaper, it will eventually return to the level that people dare to buy."
"In this case, let's first announce the deadline for the first batch of new currency exchanges. In addition, the list was released to counter the content of Cao Cao's edict, from people's livelihood to the credibility of coins. ”
"In addition, the second batch of new currency exchange will be prepared, and when that time comes, a new exchange ratio will be formed according to the current market price compared with the old currency."
"Increased exchange ratio?" Lu Su was surprised.
"Naturally, at some point, the group will be in a hurry." The corners of Chu Feng's mouth were hooked, and the exchange with the common people was 2:1, and the family might be 5:1!
Lu Su was speechless, his boss was quite ruthless.
Especially when dealing with that group of families, his father Yuan Shu's approach is just the opposite, Chu Feng can suppress exploitation as much as he can, but his rule is becoming more and more stable.
"In this way, we should always pay attention to it, mainly stabilize the market price, and officially launch a fallback measure for the new currency, and inform the people that the new currency exchange ratio will be adjusted."
Chu Feng admonished.
"No!" Lu Su nodded.
"Also, the New Year is coming soon, so that the price of cloth for merchants around the country is ready to drop a little more, so that the people can wear new clothes during the New Year this year, and the government will bear all kinds of subsidies."
Chu Feng looked at it with a little expectation.
He still remembers that when he was a child, his favorite thing was the Chinese New Year, because he was accompanied by his parents, there were all kinds of delicious food, and his parents who were working abroad would take him to buy clothes.
Of course, good days are short-lived, and every year after the year, I will be sad because of the secret departure of my parents, and I can only touch my tears in secret.
"This!" Lu Su hesitated,
To be honest, he could see the majesty that belonged to Chu Feng, the height that others couldn't reach, and the heart that was sincerely for the sake of the people.
In a sentence that Chu Feng said, even if the obedient family unifies the world for a hundred years, it is still a change of dynasty, although Chu Feng has no better way, but his attitude towards moths has never changed.
If it is replaced by other princes, not to mention the subsidy money, it is already the luckiest not to be forcibly expropriated.
To be able to do things for this Ming Lord may be the honor of his Lu Su in this life, and he has no regrets in this life.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will fully implement it." Lu Su responded forcefully.
"Well, that's good. In addition, the people take food as the sky, spring ploughing is about to begin, this winter is covered with heavy snow, and the next year will be a bumper harvest, so we must make all preparations. ”
"During the spring ploughing period, except for the necessary projects, the rest of the construction will be suspended, and spring ploughing will be the mainstay." Chu Feng solemnly explained.
"No!"
————
Yuzhou, Xuchang.
In the general's office, everyone is still deliberating.
"Report~, the lord of Qiqi, Shouchun urgent!" The guards entered with a letter, Guo Jia took it, waved the guards and retreated.
With his eyes swept over, Guo Jia Meiyu couldn't help but stir.
"Feng Xiao, what the letter says is about coins?" Cheng Yu and the others looked over, and the former asked.
"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded.
"Haha, how many new coins did Chu Feng exchange for? Thinking about it, it is impossible for those old white surnames to give the coins to Chu Feng, not to mention that the imperial court does not recognize the coins, how dare the people exchange them? ”
Cheng Yu chuckled confidently.
"Tons of new coins have been exchanged!" Guo Jia said solemnly: "Since Chu Feng launched the new currency, the people have been keen on exchanging, and they don't seem to be too worried. ”
"Moreover, the letter also said that because of the edict of the imperial court, the people everywhere recognized Chu Feng's coins more, and they strongly recommended Chu Feng to stand in line."
After speaking, Guo Jia was also depressed.
The common people who have always regarded wealth as their fate were really fooled by Chu Feng?
Hearing this, Cao Cao had a black face at the moment.
What does this mean? Because of his own reasons, Chu Feng's coins were promoted faster?
Damn, what's this called?
And below, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and the others all had calm faces, and they were a little embarrassed, because they all made mistakes in judgment, and they thought that the people would not dare.
Coupled with the fact that the imperial court did not admit it, these ordinary people would definitely not dare to overstep it, who would have thought that all this was not what they thought at all, and it was completely subverted.
"He, how did he do it?"
Xun Yu's elegant face was a little more frightened.
He had governed the state and county for many years, and he thought he knew a little about the people, but he really couldn't understand why these people did what they did.
"The Singapore dollar government and all the chambers of commerce recognise it, and he has also launched a series of so-called preferential activities, and everything that can be bought with Singapore dollars is much cheaper."
Guo Jia explained.
Xun Yu fell into deep thought, and said solemnly: "Lord, it seems that Chu Feng has won the hearts of the people, I am afraid that this new coin may really be promoted by him." ”
In this regard, Xun Yu was shocked.
You must know that it took a long time for the Han Dynasty to introduce the five-baht coin, and the people recognized its value and used it to form the current currency.
But that Chu Feng succeeded easily.
Xun Yu knew that the advantage of being able to control coins independently was too great, and Chu Feng could almost rely on directly issuing currency to forcibly pass on the losses caused by the war.
"Lord, Chu Feng's independent control of coins can reduce the impact of troubled times, and when you send someone to get new coins as soon as possible, so that the craftsman can continue to impact the market under Chu Feng's command."
Cheng Yu knew the benefits of launching a new coin at this moment, and immediately suggested.
The five-baht coin is indeed rotten, and now the people don't believe in the five-baht coin at all, and all of them barter.
"That's right, when you conquer Yangzhou as soon as possible, don't let it be left alone!" Another suggested.
"Lord, there is a new coin launched by Chu Feng here!" Guo Jia said at the same time, he also took out a few copper coins from the cloth bag, as well as a silver coin and a gold coin.
Immediately, several people took one of the appreciations.
"It's... Craft!
”
Cheng Yu exclaimed, directly dumbfounded.
Is this really just the craft of a copper coin?
Good guy, the lifelike mural characters on it, he just said that he would reproduce the coins, but after looking at this process, Cheng Yu was numb.
This Nima process is already higher than the price of the copper coin itself, right?
You must know that the process of the five-baht coin is very simple, in addition to the normal outline, it is the five-baht character of the small seal, so the difficulty of reproducing is extremely low.
But Chu Feng, you take this copper coin to sell it is worth more than the copper coin itself, the Great Wall is majestic and magnificent, as if it is arbitrary and miscellaneous.
And the old farmers in the north are even more vivid.
"That's it, this shouldn't have happened!" Cao Cao waved his hand with a dark face, he simply didn't want to dwell on this, is it possible to reproduce this thing?
Right now, he is still going all out to prepare for Yuan Shao!
