Chapter 220: Straight Hundred Dollars

Why didn't Zhang Xi name Liu Ba. Because Zhang Xi knows that the matter of straight 100 yuan, whether it is now or in the future, is a matter that offends people.

Zhang Xi is already unpopular in the hearts of the natives of Jingzhou because of the relationship between the fish scale atlas, and he can't let the natives of Yizhou hate him again because of the matter of 100 yuan, right? !

If this is the case, Zhang Xi's popularity will really be completely finished.

Therefore, the matter of 100 yuan has to be brought up by Liu Ba, the owner.

Zhang Xi is so famous, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are a little surprised, isn't Zhang Yuanchang always unkind to see this Liu Zichu on weekdays? !

Why did you make a special statement today, paving the way for him to come up with ideas?!

But in the same way, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both knew that Zhang Xi would not do this without a purpose, so they both looked at Liu Ba.

When Liu Ba saw this posture, he could only get up, bow to Liu Bei, and then said, "Ba has a word, please listen to the lord."

Then, he said his idea of a hundred dollars.

Of course, Liu Ba didn't just let Liu Bei mint a hundred coins and then directly put them on the market for circulation, which was even more harmful than Dong Zhuo's iron money and small money.

Liu Ba's suggestion, on the one hand, is to cast a more exquisite Zhibai coin, on the other hand, Liu Ba suggested that Liu Bei establish a special official market, all bulk commodity transactions must be carried out in the official market, and at the same time, the official market transactions must be forced to use Zhibai money, but in the people, the Zhibai money is not circulated for the time being.

This is done in order to reduce the harm of 100 coins as much as possible, and at the same time, the harvest targets are also obvious, that is, those wealthy families who have the ability to buy and sell bulk commodities.

Liu Ba is really, he doesn't pretend anymore, this matter is aimed at Yizhou Haoqiang.

Hearing this suggestion, Huang Quan almost quarreled with Liu Ba and knew that these outsiders from Dongzhou were uneasy and kind, isn't this a disguised way to harvest the wealth of the Yizhou family.

Suddenly, the powerful representatives of the Yizhou faction stood up one after another to express their opposition, and by the way, they made a very strong attack on Liu Ba's character.

But Liu Ba was not moved at all.

Since he has made this suggestion, he is already ready for this.

If you want to spray, we don't care.

There really doesn't have to be a concern, because the person who is sitting on the main seat now to make decisions is not Liu Zhang, but Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is not a soft-hearted master, no matter how happy Yizhou Haoqiang is, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in the face of Liu Bei, a person who enters Yizhou with his fists.

And most importantly, Liu Bei is smarter and more decisive than Liu Zhang.

Liu Bei knew his current situation, and he also knew that Liu Ba's method was the best and most labor-saving way now. Looking back at Zhang Xi and Zhuge Liang, who didn't speak, Liu Bei immediately agreed on the spot and minted a hundred coins.

It's just a matter of straight 100 coins, it's not a simple matter of minting money, and a complete set of supporting plans is needed to ensure the circulation of straight 100 coins, and Liu Bei hasn't thought about it yet.

Therefore, after the meeting was dismissed, Liu Bei left Zhuge Liang, Zhang Xi, Liu Ba, and Huang Quan to continue to discuss.

As for Pang Tong and Fa Zheng. It's not that Liu Bei doesn't keep them, but these two feel that when it comes to governing the place, their ability is not as good as these four, and they can't come up with any good ideas, so it's better to replace Liu Bei to inspect the city, stabilize the place, and restrain the soldiers, which is better.

Liu Bei didn't force it, so he discussed with the four of them how to improve this straight hundred dollars.

Needless to say, Zhuge Liang's most trusted housekeeper has been managed from Jingzhou to Yizhou, and his high level of governance has been recognized by Liu Bei's group.

As for Zhang Xi, he often has wonderful ideas, and he is a fish scale atlas and a wasteland in Changsha, showing a certain ability to govern the local area.

Liu Ba is the proposer of Zhibaiqian, and his idea is the basis of this discussion.

And Huang Quan. As a representative of the Shu family, Liu Bei could not ignore his opinions.

Therefore, the composition of this meeting was carefully considered by Liu Bei.

For the idea of straight 100 coins, Liu Ba once again explained

talked about it again, and at the same time discussed with Huang Quan the gains and losses of the Shu family.

These Shudi families, some time ago, took advantage of the war to hoard a large amount of grain and grass, and wanted to make a profit, which caused the price of grain in Chengdu to remain high until now.

Now that Liu Bei has broken through Chengdu, will these families really continue to hoard Juqi, and are they really not afraid that Liu Bei will find a few typical chickens and monkeys? !

Since sooner or later you are going to spit out some benefits, why wait until everyone is not good-looking in the future and be forced to spit out?!

Huang Quan somewhat understood what Liu Ba meant, but. When it comes to money, he Huang Quan can figure it out, but the families in Chengdu are not necessarily.

Another one, Huang Quan is a native of Ba County, although he also has a certain amount of land in Chengdu, but the main foundation of the Huang family is in Ba County, strictly speaking, this time the Shu County family hoarded food, and the degree of his Huang Quan's participation was not deep.

He could take out the food he had hoarded and support the operation of Liu Bei's group, but he was not sure that he could persuade the family in Chengdu to use the food he had hoarded to support Liu Bei's operation of hundreds of dollars.

Huang Quan was also helpless, so he could only spread out these things, crumple them, and explain them to Liu Bei one by one.

After Liu Bei heard this, his face was a little bad, and he was uncertain.

As for Zhuge Liang, he was actually a little hesitant, but he wasn't worried about the family.

As for this group of Shu County families, when Liu Bei has just entered Yizhou, they may indeed make some small moves in private to disgust Liu Bei and remind Liu Bei to pay attention to protecting their interests.

But you said that they would rebel on the spot, that was also impossible, they had this confidence, and they would not have followed Liu Zhang to open the city and surrender.

In terms of the family, Zhuge Liang is actually not worried, Zhuge Liang is more worried about the damage to the people caused by Zhibaiqian.

Although Liu Ba said that the Zhibai money only circulates in the official market and does not enter the private market, but. Everyone knows that this is uncontrollable.

The families in Chengdu have suffered losses in the official market, and they will definitely pass on this part of the loss to others.

As the largest city in the entire Bashu region, Chengdu is also the largest distribution center for goods, and the bulk commodities of the entire Bashu must be traded here.

After all, this is Liu Bei's new policy, and our Chengdu family has supported it, don't you local heroes still accept it?!

In this way, the straight 100 money will quickly circulate through the family, to all parts of Bashu, and then to the people.

In Chengdu, maybe Liu Bei is strict, and the families will be jealous, but the more they deviate from Chengdu, the greater the power of the family, and the families in remote areas will not care too much about what the policies of Chengdu are, they will only care about whether they have suffered a loss.

Families everywhere are not good at stubble, they have suffered losses in Chengdu, and they will naturally pass on this loss to the heads of the local people, and privately circulate the direct 100 coins to the people.

It is true that the people now basically barter the most, but if the families take Zhibai money to trade with the people, with the unequal social status of the two sides, the people have no right and no ability to refuse the wealthy family to exploit them with Zhibai money.

In this way, the people have become the ones who will eventually suffer from the suffering.

This is Zhuge Liang's biggest concern.

And Zhang Xima, he actually supports Liu Ba.

It's just that Zhang Xi's support is limited, and he is also worried about the situation of the people being harmed.

However, the thing of straight 100 money, in Zhang Xi's eyes of later generations, is a bit like the prototype of credit currency.

Credit currency, the actual purchasing power has nothing to do with his face value, but only with the credibility of Liu Bei Group.

To ensure the credibility of Liu Bei Group, in this era, it is not linked to gold, but directly linked to money and grain.

Once the Zhibai money is used, it is necessary to ensure that Liu Bei has enough money and food in his hand to deal with the consequences caused by the circulation of the Zhibai coin.

And the people, they have a hundred dollars, they can't use it to buy something for enjoyment.

As long as the government can ensure that they can buy the same amount of grain as before with Zhibaiqian at any time, then the inflation caused by Zhibaiqian can be greatly reduced, and at the same time, Zhibaiqian can really circulate and no longer become a tool for harvesting people's wealth.

Although Zhang Xi was not an economist in his previous life, as long as he thought about it a little, he knew that it was impossible for the common people to have a crazy run, and at this time, he only needed to guard against the family from getting in the way.

And the premise of all this is that there must be legislation – a complete law that can be effectively enforced.

Use the rule of law to ensure the smooth implementation of Zhibaiqian.

And in the land of Bashu under Liu Zhang's rule, there is no rule of law.

When Liu Zhang governed Bashu, the Bashu family was completely raised and spoiled, and they were all very domineering and lawless.

At the beginning, Liu Zhang appointed Dong He as the commander of Chengdu, Dong He practiced frugality, severely punished Haoqiang, and made decisions for the people.

The people of the whole city cried and begged Liu Zhang for his life, asking him not to transfer Dong He, Liu Zhang kept Dong He for two more years, and two years later, Liu Zhang still failed to withstand the pressure of the Yizhou family and transferred Dong He away.

Since then, the entire family in Chengdu has completely let go of themselves, even to the point of daring to hoard private soldiers under Liu Zhang's nose.

Now Liu Bei is here, with his army, and has entered the city of Chengdu - he is not the "weak" lord of Liu Zhang.

Although Liu Bei didn't want to turn his face with the families just after he won Chengdu, Liu Bei would not continue to let the powerful people of Shu continue to ignore the law and oppress the people like Liu Zhang.

Therefore, the legislation proposed by Zhang Xi is itself something that Liu Bei hopes to do.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei heard that Zhang Xi proposed legislation, he used perfect laws to ensure that the local heroes did not dare to make trouble, and at the same time to ensure the implementation of Zhibaiqian. Immediately let people go and find Fazheng and Li Yan.

Liu Bei wants to repair the law and repair the "Shu Branch".
