0831 Longyou is in a hurry

Under Li Tai's order, the subordinates of the Governor's Office, who had just regained control of the northern part of the country by plotting a popular uprising, urgently recruited a group of craftsmen and rushed to Gangneung day and night.

The craftsmen who arrived in Gangneung were mainly printers, and when they arrived, Li Tai had even had the master plates designed and engraved for printing, and what these people needed to engrave was the printed material named Dingliang Military Merit Coupon.

These military coupons are divided into denominations of one, ten and fifty, which can be directly exchanged for silk with equal denominations, and can also be used to buy various materials in the military market.

Anmin City, which was originally set up temporarily, was also diverted to various places as Gangneung City and the surrounding strongholds were conquered. The idle fortress happened to be cleaned to build a military city.

The Western Wei army has never had a perfect logistics system, and this time the army came south to make it clear that it wanted to eat a big family. Li Tai had just seized military power before, and in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not fight with the garrison generals about the consumption of grain and grass, and it was still supplied by the Jingzhou Governor's Office.

But now that Gangneung has been conquered, the situation has gradually stabilized, and Li Tai has also generously distributed so many rewards, of course, there is no obligation to continue to support the army of all roads, and it is also their duty to raise and provide for the main ones.

The armies raised their own provisions, either to consume their own bounty or to plunder on the spot. Under the control of Li Tai's military law, the latter obviously can't, so he can only use rewards to buy food and drink materials, and the role of the military market is naturally reflected.

When these printed Dingliang military merit coupons were distributed in a small area among some troops, the soldiers were more or less suspicious, and these small pieces of paper with complex patterns and dazzling eyes were worth hundreds of horses. Although I don't read much, I'm not stupid!

Therefore, the first thing these soldiers who have received their rewards to do is to flock into the military market with these military merit coupons and use these military merit coupons to make a big purchase.

The purchasing power of a hundred horses of silk is still very amazing, not to mention the joke of being able to buy a finger of Gao Aocao, such as the conscription tradition of the Eastern Wei Dynasty to replace the service with silk, a soldier's annual consumption of food and clothing fifteen horses of silk and even a slight surplus.

At present, although Gangneung is in wartime, and prices are higher than usual, the military market does not give priority to profits, and most of the goods are only limited to purchase, but the prices are still only ordinary prices.

When they saw that the silk cloth was really exchanged in full, they couldn't help but smile, and they each called friends to carry these silk rewards back to the camp.

But soon they found that the transportation and storage of these silk silks were a problem, and it was impossible for everyone in the barracks to be a single small tent, and the large shop of a dozen people, not to mention how spacious it was, would definitely not be able to place thousands of silk horses! The gifts are good but they take up space, and as soon as the march and camp moves, these gifts immediately become a drag.

Some people return to the military market with silk to buy some goods, but these goods may become smaller in size, but they have become more varied, and they are very easy to lose, and it is also a headache to keep. When they wanted to exchange the silk silk for military merit coupons, they were told that the military market did not accept this exchange, and they needed to pay a certain management fee if they wanted to store the silk silk.

So the first batch of rewarded soldiers could only hold those silk silk days of toothache, in the final analysis, they really didn't expect that General Li would be so trustworthy, can really use the paper as money!

This situation continued until the second batch of military merit coupons were issued, and at this time, the embarrassment faced by the first batch of wise men had already spread among the armies, so the second batch of rewarded soldiers naturally would no longer be stupid to cash out all the rewards at one time, but directly took the military merit coupons into the market to buy the materials they needed.

Those smart people who stepped on the pit for everyone in advance saw this scene, and their mood was even more depressed. However, there are many really smart people among them, since the military market does not provide the opportunity to exchange military merit coupons, then the effect of exchanging from the hands of the robe is the same! As a result, there was soon a private exchange of military merit coupons in the army, which was originally a small piece of paper that was despised and questioned

It soon became an important medium for communication between what is and what is not.

Soon, the commanders of the battalions reported the news to Li Tai, and Li Tai did not order a ban after learning of this, anyway, the scene where military merit coupons can be cashed is only limited to the military market outside Jiangling City, and it must be a soldier of the Western Wei Dynasty with military status to enter the market to trade and trade.

With so many restrictions, the military merit voucher itself does not have much room for hoarding. The only thing to note is that if there is a dispute between the army and the army because of private exchange, then both parties and their subordinate governors will be severely punished.

The issuance of military merit coupons and the opening of the military market immediately opened up the needs of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, and their purchasing power also increased. The materials obtained from the Gangneung treasury were transferred to the armies in the form of military market transactions, and the masses were able to take what they needed and form a more rational distribution.

In addition to the materials seized from the Gangneung treasury, as the military market continued, more goods were added to the market, including various products from the Chubei Workshop. However, instead of transporting it from Chubuk, it is better to build a workshop directly in Gangneung and produce it locally.

At present, Gangneung is still under military control, and of course it is impossible to attract investment like Chubei, so it can only build an official workshop. Fortunately, the subordinates of the Governor's Office were already familiar with this set of procedures, and soon began to prepare in an orderly manner. A large number of Gangneung refugees were recruited to work in the workshops to provide relief for work, which in turn promoted the restoration of Gangneung's livelihood.

There are frequent material exchanges between Gangneung and Chubuk, and there are also some Gangneung locals who want to replicate the industrial model of Chubei to build workshops locally. However, after several years of brewing and development, the industrial scale of Chubei is far from being comparable to the local small fights in Jiangling, and the products are dumped all the way, even if the cost of transportation is cheaper than the cost of local products, and there is not enough room for interests, so there is naturally no opportunity to develop the industry.

But now that the Jingzhou Governor's Office is in charge of these industries, there are naturally no previous restrictions, so these workshops were quickly established, and a set of processes from raw material processing to final product output operated smoothly. In addition to the previous experience, it is also because Gangneung is close to the Yangtze River, and the low and convenient logistics cost makes the development of these handicraft industries like an accelerator.

The destitute proletarians in Gangneung were recruited to work in the workshops in exchange for food and sustenance, and the products produced were sent to the nearby military market.

The soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty bought goods in the military market through the military merit coupons they were rewarded, but because the army was out on the expedition, their needs were not as diverse as those of home life, except for food and clothing, most of the other commodities were actually not in great demand.

They don't have a need, but the other Gangneung people do. Due to the fact that Gangneung was under military control, some civilian commercial activities and material circulation were basically stagnant, and these Gangneung soldiers had nowhere to buy and replenish after consuming their home storage. The only active trading was the military market outside the city, and the military market only supplied goods to the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty.

As long as there is demand, there will be a market, so soon there will be people who want to be able to trade goods from the military. For example, some commodities that are completely unpopular in the military market are indispensable materials for the lives of the residents of the city. Most of the commodities in the military market are at parity, and as long as they leave the military market and enter the normal market circulation, they will have a huge profit margin.

As a result, under the influence of this supply and demand relationship, the purchasing power of military merit coupons increased significantly under the blessing of various transactions, and many Western Wei soldiers also benefited greatly.

Of course, this is also a kind of exploitation and plunder, but it is more mild than direct burning and looting, maintaining military discipline while stabilizing people's livelihood, and at the same time strengthening the control of the hearts and minds of the people of Gangneung. Whether it was the army, the displaced people, or the people in the city, they all found their place under this temporary order, and each formed the latest social style of Gangneung after the war.

Wang Lin and other people from all walks of life around him actually wanted to see the continuous chaos in Jiangling, the people's livelihood could not be restored for a long time, and it was difficult for the burning, killing and plundering to last for a long time, and the continuous chaos not only made the occupiers unpopular, but also increased the burden and pressure on their large army to continue stationing, thereby reducing the difficulty of the army's counterattack to recapture Jiangling.

But just as they didn't expect Gangneung City to be captured so quickly, take it

The rapid restoration of order in Gangneung was also beyond their imagination. Obviously, such a big thing happened, not only did there not be any continuous turmoil in Jiangling City and its surroundings, but this posture was even more stable than when Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang was in power!

Li Taizhi has a wealth of experience, from the beginning of his entry into the Guanzhong, when the human and land resources in the Guanzhong have long been carved up by those pioneers, he has learned to break through from the edge, work hard in the field that others can't notice, and finally achieve a noisy effect.

Therefore, Wang Lin and other remnants of the Southern Liang counted on him to make mistakes in the process of controlling the chaos in Jiangling, and it was better to hope that some sudden changes would disturb him, such as the sudden death of someone.

Far away in the Shayuan camp in Guanzhong, several horsemen galloped into the camp like a galloping horse, and several knights on horseback were already weathered and haggard, and when they turned over and dismounted, they even fell directly to the ground. But when the surrounding sergeants saw this, they wanted to step forward to help, but they were reprimanded by their hoarse roar: "Don't come closer, quickly enter and tell King Yuwen, Longyou is in a hurry!"

Soon several sergeants were led to Yuwentai in the big tent in a hobbling step, and at this time, the leader took out a secret letter with good fire paint from his arms, put it in front of Yuwentai with both hands, and said sadly with tears in his eyes: "Enlighten the Lord, my lord Lang, Lord Lang ......"

Yu Wentai already had a secret feeling in his heart at this time, so he hurriedly grabbed the secret letter and opened the fire paint and read it, and then the whole person froze there, and even the sound of breathing stopped.

"Uncle......

Seeing this, Wei Chi Gang stepped forward and whispered to ask Yuwentai what was wrong, but he couldn't respond, when he stepped forward again and touched Yuwentai's shoulder, Yuwentai suddenly screamed, and the whole person was lying on his back.
