Chapter 155: I'm under so much pressure... I'm pretending!
'You Chen Ziji still know how to write after the end of the word? Haven't you thought about why I, Pan Chengming, were arranged to come back by my lord at this time? It's amazing......
'When is this time?' The Lord Justice is going to march into Jingnan! Why did you let me come back, you really didn't think about it? Or, didn't you Chen Ziji even think about what a million stone grain represented? ’
Listening to Chen Feng's words, Pan Jun really couldn't hold back, he was surprised in his heart for a while, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "What way?" ”
"I'm ashamed to say that although this pension number was established at the earliest, compared with the money number and the insurance number, it has never made any contributions...... If you really want to turn it up, it is estimated that it will be the paper gold that was issued. ”
Chen Feng sighed, shook his head and said, "So, even if you, Pan Chengming, don't come to persuade me, I already have the idea of changing." ”
"Oh?"
Pan Jun's eyes lit up: "Since you say so, you want to cut the pension policy?" ”
Thirty stone per person per quarter all year round... Not to mention anything else, Jiangxia alone will spend nearly six million stone of grain every year.
What is this sky-defying number?
But anyone who can settle accounts probably doesn't think so, right?
But Chen Feng just gave the order like this, and by now, it has spread almost all over Jiangxia.
Because of this, even Liu Bei was so frightened that he had to hurriedly send him Pan Jun back when the war was tense...... It is best to persuade Chen Feng from the position of a friend.
Of course, this is Chen Feng.
If Chen Feng was not a military advisor, if he hadn't made great contributions in Chibi, if it weren't for the fact that most of the generals under Liu Bei's command were willing to give him face, if he wasn't Liu Bei's henchman, if none of the above ...... It is estimated that the Jiangxia County Government has long been overwhelmed by as many scolding posts as snowflakes.
Fortunately, now Chen Feng has finally reacted, and he looks like he is about to be corrected.
When Pan Jun thought of this, he couldn't help but exhale deeply.
However, his breath quickly came up again.
"Never."
Chen Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "Actually, as early as after the person who sent the paper gold came back, I had already found out that such a plan would not work, and it would even drag Jiang Xia down, but...... Ay! ”
At the end, he sighed deeply, looking reluctant to say more.
Pan Jun's eyes widened immediately, and he held his breath and said, "But what? ”
"The promise has been made, I can't break the trust of the people, right?"
Chen Feng spread his hands and lamented: "I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place, why bother......"
After hearing this, Pan Jun breathed a deep sigh of relief, and at the same time said with a natural look: "This, in fact, I can." ”
Chen Feng raised his head suddenly: "What does Chengming mean...... To bear the infamy of this?! ”
"Exactly." Pan Jun smiled and nodded: "Although the mistake was made by the envoy, after all, the envoy is just young and vigorous...... Therefore, it is not permissible to ...... the prestige of the envoy because of this little mistake."
'Damn, Liu Bei actually prepared a back-handed man for me? It's a hurry, isn't it? ’
"No way!"
Chen Feng looked at Pan Jun dumbfounded, but he didn't forget to interrupt the other party after all.
"I know that the envoy may feel that since such wrong things have already been done, then take responsibility, and accumulate fame in the future."
Pan Jun shook his head and said sincerely: "But, have you ever thought about what will happen if you bear this infamy with your current identity?" ”
When he heard this, Chen Feng was moved in his heart, and finally stopped pretending: "So, I have already thought of a solution a few days ago. ”
"The prestige of the army will lead to a great drop in morale, and now that the Lord is just serving the army, this morale is ...... Well, what do you say? ”
After Pan Jun said to himself for a long time, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong from Chen Feng's face.
"I said, I already have a solution...... Well, all my stress has been pretending to be all this time. ”
Looking at Pan Jun's face of disbelief, Chen Feng took a deep breath and said, "Chengming, haven't you thought about it?" If I'm really stressed, how can I be like this...... Leisure? ”
“……”
Pan Jun stood in place, stunned for a long time, and his expression suddenly changed: "You, you Chen Ziji, actually, even lied to me?!" ”
This sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth, which showed how he was feeling at the moment.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean to lie to you."
Chen Feng hurriedly waved his hand: "It's mainly because you, Pan Chengming, haven't given me a chance all along...... If you think about it, did you give me a chance to say it? Didn't you? ”
One thing to say, Pan Jun has hardly had a formal conversation with him since he returned.
Especially if there is a conversation like today, there is no talk at all.
What is it?
From time to time, some grain storage reports from various places were sent, as well as the grain, grass and ordnance used by Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi, as well as Jiangling's years of storage and accumulation...... Years of storage and accumulation in Xiangyang.
Although these pieces of silk books and materials are constantly conveying the information to Chen Feng that millions of stones of grain are not easy to collect and transport......
But Pan Jun really didn't say it directly.
Chen Feng actually understands the reason for this.
The main thing is that I don't want to make a fool of him...... Perhaps, there is also Liu Bei's certain instructions in this.
And it is precisely because of this that Chen Fengcai has never said the solution.
Until today, until this moment.
When Pan Jun completely stated that he was back to take the blame, Chen Feng finally couldn't hide it, or ...... He couldn't hide it anymore.
He saw a lot of things from Pan Jun's body...... For example, Liu Bei and others at this moment may be under more pressure than him.
“……”
After pondering carefully for a while, Pan Jun found that there was really no way to refute this sentence, so he got up and was about to leave.
But in the end, he still didn't leave, but sat back in his place silently, and looked at Chen Fengdao solemnly: "Is there a solution to this matter?" ”
It's not that he doesn't trust Chen Feng.
It's not that he's curious.
It is really too big and too wide to implicate the pension policy.
What's more critical is that when Chen Feng spoke before, he was even more decisive.
Therefore, he Pan Jun is accompanied by pressure almost all the time.
At this moment, he naturally wanted to get an answer.
"Actually, even if you don't ask, I'll talk about it in a few days, because in a few days, my plan can begin......"
Looking at Pan Jun's serious face, Chen Feng didn't dare to hang up, and replied very solemnly: "You should know about a letter I sent home some time ago, right?" Yes, that letter contains a solution...... Of course, even if my family doesn't help, it doesn't have much impact. ”
"I've heard of it, but ...... What exactly is the solution? ”
Pan Jun nodded subconsciously, and then solemnly became solemn again: "Can you tell me more in detail?" ”
"To put it simply, I sent a letter to my family and asked them to send some credible people over."
"After that, I'm going to get these credible people to do something, or produce a batch of goods...... Well, only paper gold can be purchased. ”
In this way, the value of paper gold will increase accordingly...... In other words, they have value from now on, rather than being sent out and then thrown aside. ”
"And with these goods as a guarantee, my money account will be able to work, and then ...... I'll be able to easily take some fat sheep... Ahem, some wealthy families have been pulled into this system. ”
At the same time, Jiangxia's commerce will be more developed...... Even, he will slowly bring back some of Jiangdong's goods. ”
"During this period, the number of insurance will naturally rise rapidly...... Well, the most important thing is that I also had money and food at that time. ”
"According to my calculations, it should be just in the summer...... You know, the people are most in need of food, and it is often before the harvest. ”
"That's why the distribution of food at this time will have a greater effect."
"Of course, I didn't think about distributing all the food... In the early stage, I will first distribute about 10 koku of grain, and the other 20 koku will be in the form of tax payment. ”
"To put it simply, as long as there is an elderly person in the family, they may be exempt from forced labor, as well as a certain amount of taxes."
"50,000 elderly people can affect 50,000 households, which is equivalent to nearly 300,000 people...... This influence alone is definitely not something that millions of stone grains can do. ”
After Chen Feng finished his plan in one breath, he looked at Pan Jun and waited for him to ask questions.
Pan Jun really asked: "Then why don't you tell all the people who receive the paper gold when you send out the paper gold?" ”
Moreover, it was this kind of question that touched the soul in the first place.
"If I had told me in advance, would I have found out if those old people really exist?"
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Let's put it this way, if I release the news in advance, I am going to promote paper gold...... With my fame at the time, there was a good chance that a lot of people would hoard it. ”
"If there is such an experience, do you think I can still count whether these old people are real or not? Or rather...... Can I still reach them indirectly? ”
"If it's just a pile of paper, naturally no one will be greedy for ink, but if they know that this pile of paper has value...... Hehe. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Feng sneered, his tone full of distrust.
"The first step is to identify the existence of these old people; The second step is to prepare for the issuance of paper gold, and the third step is to reduce taxes and levies......"
Pan Jun is very smart, and in just a few moments, he has roughly integrated the information together.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, although there are still some things...... But that doesn't matter anymore. ”
"In this way, the step-by-step step of the envoy is indeed very clever, but ......"
Pan Jun first sighed, but quickly changed his words: "But have you ever thought about another thing?" ”
"The lord is still fighting, and many of his soldiers are from Jiangxia, if they want to break away from the army with the help of your strategy...... At that time, what to do? ”
Chen Feng said frankly: "It's very easy to do, just from it." ”
“……”
Pan Jun took a deep breath and stared at Chen Fengdao: "Please make you don't forget, it's on the battlefield, if it's ......"
"What if?"
After Chen Feng interrupted Pan Jun, he suddenly said in surprise: "No, you don't think this battle will take a long time, right?" ”
"Could it be...... No? ”
Pan Jun blinked, stunned again.
