Chapter 237: Fighting an economic war, Yuan Shao who was furious
The fourth year of Jian'an, February, early spring.
The thirteen states of Dahan are all engaged in spring ploughing, of course, except for some uninhabited areas, because these areas have been poisoned countless times, and there is no rooster crow for thousands of miles.
Hefei, will be in the house.
Lu Su came quickly, smiling.
"What makes Zijing feel so happy?" Chu Feng folded the paperwork and chuckled.
"My lord, now our treasury is extremely full, and almost all the families under our rule have exchanged new currency, and only a few are worried about it."
"This kind of money is enough for our army to fight for five years, and all this depends on the strategy of the lord." Lu Su stroked his beard and said excitedly.
Chu Feng chuckled lightly and smiled.
"But my lord, there will be more and more payments to the family in the future, will it be difficult to return when the time comes? If it is violated, the place will inevitably be unstable, I don't know what the lord will do? β
Lu Su's eyes showed solemnity again, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Why disobey? Remember, the money that flows is the money, and the money that is kept at home is called copper. My move is just to circulate the money and push it to the whole Han, that's all! β
Chu Feng picked up the tea on the table, took a sip lightly, and showed a gentle smile.
"What you put at home is called a copper nugget?"
Lu Su was stunned, a little dazed.
To be honest, he didn't understand this logic, but Chu Feng knew that the economy was like water, and the flowing water would only become more and more active, but a pond of stagnant water would become more and more inactive.
If the economy is not circulating, then there is no economy.
"Lord, the five-baht coin is a recognized coin of the Han Dynasty, used by thousands of people, although our new coin is good, the people in Yangzhou respect and trust the lord,"
"But in the world, who uses new dollars?"
Lu Su frowned, it was too difficult to push the entire Han in his opinion, especially in such troubled times, the princes of various places would definitely not let Chu Feng control it.
"Are you talking about the five baht that tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, can buy a hue of grain? The five-baht coin has long lost its credibility, and the reason why it circulates is nothing more than because of the recognition of the Han Dynasty,"
"And no one can replace it."
"Now, its credibility has been corrupted, and we just need to add fuel to the fire to make this financial war even more prosperous, and then we will be the ultimate winners!"
When Chu Feng said this, he was endlessly confident.
"Lord, dare to ask how it works?" Lu Su was a little shocked, and asked in surprise, after all, the Han Dynasty has not yet perished, and even if the credibility of the five-baht coin is poor, it will not be replaced.
Obviously, Chu Feng had a way to deal with it that he didn't understand!
Sure enough, his talent came from books, but Chu Feng's talent was much that he had never seen in books, he was simply a god, comparable to a sage.
"How does it work?" Chu Feng pinched his chin, he had been pondering for a long time during this time,
Back then, the ugly country could make the US dollar a settlement currency, one was credibility, the other was economic volume, and it took the initiative to peg to gold, replacing the status of the British pound.
Now the national situation is different, because he has a lot of five-baht coins used by other princes in his hands, and this time the new currency has replaced the five-baht coins in his treasury.
At the moment, there is one of the most direct methods, which is like trading stocks.
"With our existing five baht money, we rush to buy local food, cloth, etc., and when the funds are injected to a certain point, the materials will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the price will inevitably be raised."
"For example, the local grain price is now 10,000 yuan per stone, and we inject 1 billion yuan, which is equivalent to we have 100,000 stone of grain and grass, and as the grain on the market becomes less, the price of grain may rise to 20,000 yuan, or even more."
"When the time comes, we can exchange four copper coins for one new coin, and the price of grain is four thousand new coins, so we will leverage a large number of copper coins and replace the coins in the hands of the common people."
"Of course, there is a premise for this, credibility! Before launching all this, it is necessary to get through the grain merchants, cloth merchants, salt merchants, etc., only if they take the lead in recognizing the opportunity! β
"In addition, although the big man exists in name only, the big man also needs to speak. In addition, it is the princes who relax their policies to achieve these three points, and great things can be expected! β
Chu Feng told the plan for this period of time one by one.
Lu Su: "!
οΌ β
After listening to what Chu Feng said, Lu Su was still thinking in his heart, and finally looked at Chu Feng with a confused face!
Why did he calculate that his side not only pushed the new coins down to him, but also made a fortune?
One billion input, in exchange for 100,000 grains, four copper coins for one new coin, 4,000 new coins for one stone of grain, that is to say, one stone of grain for 16,000 coins?
How much can you make from that?
"Lord, in this way, we can still make money?" Lu Su was surprised.
"That's not it, the money earned has to be invested, and all aspects must be taken care of, and it is good if you don't lose money. Of course, we can control the local economy. β
The corners of Chu Feng's mouth were hooked, and he said gently.
Lu Su seemed to understand, and continued: "Lord, these three grain merchants and cloth merchants are easy to threaten, but how can the princes watch it? Definitely get in the way. β
"And although the Han Dynasty exists in name only, the Han Emperor is in the hands of Cao Cao, and he has a deep blood feud with the lord, how can he release the list to recognize the value of the new coin?"
"Hindering? Hehe, then bring back the purchased materials, when no one saves the market, it is still them who lose, and it is just as good to exchange the money we eliminated for materials! β
"What's more, the vast majority of the princes don't play economics, let alone think about stabilizing prices, so the market price has collapsed, and they will even beg us to take over."
Chu Feng took another sip of tea and was very convinced.
He is almost invincible in this financial war, the reason is that the assets of the entire Yangzhou are in his place, and he can completely leverage the land of a state.
One state opens up, and the other state cities continue.
"It's... Will the princes beg us to take over? β
Lu Su pursed the corners of his mouth, he felt that he couldn't digest this information in a short time, was this too exaggerated? Feelings themselves are helping them?
"Naturally, as for the edict of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will agree." Chu Feng chuckled, very confident.
"Lord, did you say Cao Cao's peace talks?" Lu Su squinted, thought of what Chu Feng said, and sighed in his heart, it seemed that Chu Feng had already thought clearly.
"But my lord, what if Cao Cao doesn't negotiate peacefully?"
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare, if he dares not to negotiate peace, then the army will press the border, force him to talk, and if he doesn't talk, then fight!" Chu Feng said loudly.
Lu Su fell silent, his boss was really hanging.
"Oh yes, how much is the five baht in the treasury now?" Chu Feng asked.
"My lord, now the treasury has tens of billions of five baht, and there are countless of them." When Lu Su talked about money, he was excited again, this small family has assets of millions of dollars,
It's normal for a big family to have hundreds of millions.
Plus the people's, not too much.
The key is that they themselves issued very few new coins, and the Maison only gave a tenth.
"Remember, money is money,
After the spring ploughing is over, the people are recruited to repair the roads, open up the rivers in various places, clean up the silt of the rivers, build war ships, animal husbandry and war horses, build bridges, and so on. β
"At the same time, recruit female workers, be responsible for weaving, increase and encourage the development of all walks of life, give relevant subsidies, drive materials, drive consumption, in short, no matter what, we must pull the economy up for me."
Chu Feng said sonorously,
It is undoubtedly very difficult for Jiangnan to pull the economy now, but it is better because Jiangnan has suffered fewer wars and is highly malleable, and it has only been a few years since China really developed.
Stimulating economic consumption is the first step.
However, before doing so, it is imperative to ensure the safety of agriculture, take grain as the foundation, make steady progress, and develop the economy.
"No!" Lu Su clenched his fists and responded.
To be honest, he couldn't keep up with Chu Feng's thinking anymore.
According to his understanding, this money is enough to fight a good battle for many years, but Chu Feng's first step is to build roads, riverbeds, pull all walks of life, and even give subsidies,
If it were any one of them, Lu Su would only think that this person was a fool, a fool,
But when it was replaced by Chu Feng, Lu Su began to self-reflect, self-awareness, and self-contemplation, after all, the strategy that Chu Feng gave him was absolutely OK.
"In addition, focus on building Hefei New City."
"The wharves of the people of Hefei and the merchants are separated, and I have built a gallop road, which can quickly reach various cities in Jiangbei." Chu Feng solemnly explained.
"No!" Lu Su nodded again.
Following Chu Feng, he did learn a lot.
"The most important thing in China at the moment is spring ploughing, followed by the implementation of what Fang just said, and in addition, the economic war can be laid out in Jingzhou in advance."
"While Zhang Xian is not dead, we will seize Jingzhou's economy first, and when the people's livelihood is dissatisfied, it is good that we will enter Jingzhou, and then we will calm public opinion and kill two birds with one stone."
Chu Feng was not stingy when he should be ruthless.
Rather than letting Jingzhou be poisoned by war in the future, it is better to exchange the minimum price for the greatest preservation, after all, in the troubled times, no one can be left alone.
"Seize Jingzhou?" Lu Su asked.
In fact, he mainly didn't know how to preempt.
"In this way, I will write a series of processes later, all of which will be followed by the process, and I will report on the specific implementation of travel problems, and be sure to lay out the layout before the battle starts!"
Chu Feng said in a deep voice, he had to hurry up and find out a detailed item, so that he could attack Jingzhou faster and complete the layout.
"No!" Lu Su nodded.
"Okay, let's go, Mi Zhu will call him, he has to be responsible for this layout!" Chu Feng said.
ββββ
At the same time, the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou.
A city stands tall with the banner of Gongsun on it.
And I don't know how many corpses have been filled under this city, but it has not been breached yet, but the hearts of the army in it have collapsed a lot, and it is only this time that it has been broken.
Outside the city, inside the camp of the Yuan army.
Yuan Shao snapped, slapped the table in front of him angrily, looked at the scout who delivered the message, and shouted: "He Cao Cao is so bold, just break my left and right wings successively,"
"Now he is secretly transferring troops to Chen Liu, approaching Yanjin, does he want to fight me in a decisive battle?"
Yuan Shaosheng's tall and mighty was so angry at the moment that everyone was so frightened that they all hung their heads and didn't dare to say more.
"Hmph, I think he was just attached to me back then, and he looked down on me Yuan Shao, and he lowered his voice, but now he wants to compete with me for the world, ridiculous, ridiculous."
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
"The children of the eunuchs are also worthy of competing with my Yuan family for the world?"
Yuan Shao stepped forward to tear up the letter and roared.
This letter came from the Xuchang family, and it belonged to the side line, but Cao Cao's repeated offenses made him unbearable.
"My lord, everything is done to dominate the world, and it is natural for Cao Cao to lay out in advance. And this person is deceitful and insidious, and the lord must not be naΓ―ve,"
"Our army should solve the problem faster and return Gongsun Chan to defend Yanjin." Tian Feng came out of the queue and said bluntly with his fists clenched.
When these words came out, Yuan Shao's old face darkened.
Damn, although he recognizes Tian Feng's talent, but Tian Feng plays like this, no one likes it, and he will lift Cao Cao if he presses him.
also said that he should not be naΓ―ve,
Awesome!
"Hehe, Tian Feng, are you belittling the lord too much and exalting Cao Cao? The lord sits on the land of three states, with 100,000 soldiers and 10,000 iron horses, why is he afraid of Cao Cao? β
Feng Ji shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.
"That's right, Tian Feng, what exactly do you mean?" Guo Tu also accused.
"Hmph, Cao Cao's projectile land, Zhu Lu Bu, push Zhang Xiu, level the princes of all walks of life, and the elite of a hundred battles under his command, he is really the enemy of the lord of the first generation, how can you underestimate it?"
"In my opinion, don't mislead the lord when you wait for the mediocre ministers!" Tian Feng looked up arrogantly, shook his sleeves and was stunned.
"You..."Feng Ji Guotu and the two were annoyed.
"That's enough," Yuan Shao raised his hand and scolded angrily.
"As my important minister, how can you keep arguing over these trivial matters?"
After speaking, Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu, who was both talented and Jizhou faction, and was more rational, and couldn't help but say: "Gonghe, what do you think?" β
"Lord, no matter what, Yanjin can't be released, now that Yan Liang is in Liyang, let him fortify first, beware of Cao Cao taking the opportunity to enter our army's base camp!"
"As for Gongsun Zhan, he is already a locust after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days, the lord should deal with this person as soon as possible to prevent his resurrection, and he must not give up his efforts."
"Only by taking Gongsun Zhan, sitting on Qingyou and Hebei four states, connecting Wuhuan in the north, and connecting Chu Feng and Liu Biao in the south, can we go south to attack Cao Cao, and then compete for hegemony in the world."
Frustrated, he solemnly suggested!
At this point, everyone nodded in their hearts.
Occupying Qingyou and Ji, in the combination of Wu Huan, Chu Feng, and Liu Biao, it can be said that Cao Cao has no chance of winning this battle.
"Well said!" Yuan Shao shouted excitedly.
"Someone comes, immediately send a message to Yan Liang, let him enter Yanjin, and always be on guard against Cao Cao's movements." Yuan Shao waved his hand and said loudly.
"My lord, Yan Liang's courage may be a vanguard, but if Cao Cao knows that Yan Liang is stationed in Yanjin, he will have no fear, and even lure the enemy to fight."
Frustrated Professor hurriedly added.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shao asked.
"You can send a wise and resourceful person to Yanjin to coordinate the three armies, so as to ensure that Yanjin is safe." Frustrated professor hurriedly suggested.
"Fake knots?" Yuan Shao frowned.
"Who can go to Yanjin to coordinate the three armies?"
"Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao, Cao Cao heard that Tian Feng had arrived in Yanjin, and he must have been jealous and did not dare to provoke." Frustrated gave Tian Feng a look and suggested.
To be honest, he was helping Tian Feng.
According to Tian Feng's character, staying here will definitely not be able to fight Feng Ji and Guo Tu, so it is better to transfer away!
"Okay, Tian Feng, it's up to you to go to Yanjin and coordinate the three armies!" Yuan Shao waved his hand, he didn't want to see this person anyway.
