Currency wars?

Zhuge Liang was thoughtful, and Liu Ba couldn't close his mouth in surprise.

"Childe...... You're going to ......."

"The two gentlemen guessed right, the land under my father's jurisdiction will be abolished five baht, and it will be a hundred dollars!"

Waste five baht, Xingzhi hundred?

"This money, one is five baht and one hundred."

Before Liu Mang's words fell, Liu Ba's face was happy, and Zhuge Liang fell into deep thought.

"If that's the case, the lord can solve the urgent need!"

Liu Ba was overjoyed and praised: "Son, you are really talented!" ”

Zhuge Liang interrupted Liu Ba, "Childe, if the currency is reformed, I am afraid that it will be opposed by many people." ”

"Among them, it is possible to include officials in Yizhou!"

Wealth has always been in the hands of a small number of people.

If Liu Mang reforms the currency, the first people who have a lot of currency will bear the brunt.

"It's okay, tomorrow the two gentlemen will act when they see the opportunity."

"I kind of understand, why do they say that Liu Yan's father and son are incompetent and weak."

"I can't even understand the currency, so what else do you say about competing for the world?"

Liu Mang offered to say goodbye, and then dragged Jiang Wei away, who still looked at Zhuge Guo with a long mind.

"Xiao Jiang, take advantage of the opportunity, wouldn't it be beautiful to be Mr.'s fast son-in-law in the future?"

Liu Mang's joke made Xiao Jiang Wei's face red.

"Xiao Jiang, you ghost spirit, you still know how to blush?"

Sun Shangxiang teased: "In the face of Zhao Ang's encirclement and suppression that day, Xiao Jiang's face still did not change!" ”

Lu Qiling touched Jiang Wei's forehead, "Little Jiang, why don't you speak?" ”

Jiang Wei looked at Liu Mang seriously, "Senior brother, do you think that if I can make war exploits in the future, will Mr. give me the fruit?" ”

Looking at Xiao Jiang Wei's serious appearance, Liu Mang secretly said in his heart, "Oops, Jiang Wei is in love!" ”

Liu Mang casually mentioned, "In the future, if you have the merit of destroying the country, senior brother will definitely propose marriage for you!" ”

Jiang Wei's face was happy, "Really? Then let's pull the hook, and we won't change for a hundred years! ”

……

The next day.

Above the court.

Only by really sitting in Liu Zhang's position, Liu Bei knows that it is difficult to be in charge!

Although Liu Biao was indecisive and resourceful, Jingzhou was economically stable and peaceful under his rule.

Yizhou, on the other hand, has a false sense of prosperity.

It is true that there is plenty of food, but the internal economy is too chaotic!

Five baht money, the purchasing power of almost every city in Yizhou is different.

This also caused the fact that whether the people's money was worth it or not was not decided by the imperial court, but by the merchants.

"Today, I have summoned you here to discuss the strategy of relocating the people of Hanzhong."

Liu Bei's eyes showed a trace of exhaustion, as soon as he pacified Yizhou, he had to find a way to find a place for the 300,000 people in Hanzhong.

"Dad, this matter is not urgent, I have something to report."

"Mang'er, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Jingzhou officials, everyone looked at Liu Mang, with a look of joy on their faces.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba glanced at each other, and the major events that caused the court were about to happen here.

The officials in Yizhou looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Mang was going to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday I bought Shu brocade in the bazaar, and the same Shu brocade is not the same in the mouths of different merchants."

"What's more, the value of the money in the hands of the people is determined by the merchants."

"When will the five baht coins issued by my Han Dynasty be decided by the merchants?"

Liu Bei frowned and said nothing, as a high-ranking person, his family used to be poor, and he sold shoes with his mother weaving mats.

The five-baht coin is a physical currency made of copper.

Each coin weighs five baht, so it is called "five baht" money.

The peculiarity of the five-baht coin is that it is valuable in itself, and its value is the weight of five baht copper.

Therefore, it has a purchasing power of "five baht".

But in today's Yizhou, not only is the purchasing power of five baht disproportionate, but the people's money is frantically harvested by businessmen.

Hearing Liu Mang mention the five-baht coin, Guan Yu was so anxious that he couldn't interject, and Zhang Fei simply dozed off.

The two uncles couldn't help it, after all, as soon as they opened their mouths, they would reveal that they didn't understand the nature of the economy.

"Mang'er, then what do you mean, let the father send someone to stabilize prices and punish profiteers?"

"Dad, treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, I think we should solve the problem at the root."

Liu Mang took the five-baht coin and said with a smile: "Currency, this is our liver, brain and heart." ”

"Today's money is not a currency, but a legal credit instrument, and it plays a huge role in people's production and consumption."

"Five-baht money is no longer applicable to Yizhou, so I mean, abolish the five-baht money and mint a straight hundred coins!"

Call......

Everyone present was in an uproar.

Liu Mang didn't care, and continued: "Straight 100 yuan, as the name suggests, this money is a 5 baht money 100!" ”

"The role of straight 100 coins is to level the prices and make the officials the official market."

Liu Bei was still thinking, and Liu Mang smiled: "My straight hundred coins weigh about one-fifth of five baht dollars!" ”

Liu Bei can be sure that the straight hundred coins that this rebel said are actually helping him fill the treasury.

To mint a five-baht coin, only one copper plant is required.

Because Liu Bei stipulated that Yizhou, Jiaozhou, and Jingzhou could only be used for 100 dollars.

Then the previous five baht money was reduced to scrap copper and rotten iron, and the people and families had to hand it over to the imperial court.

Speaking of which, Liu Bei exchanged one baht of copper for five baht of copper in the hands of the people, and Liu Bei also made a net profit of four baht!

"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! ”

Xu Jing blew his beard and glared, stepped out, and snorted coldly: "Childe, do you want to do what Dong Zhuo does?" ”

Dong Zhuo's notoriety is well known to everyone.

Xu Jing compared Dong Zhuo to Liu Mang, but in fact it is no different from insult.

"At that time, Dong Thief used to issue small coins, but it caused serious devaluation of coins!"

"As a result, the goods in the market are light and expensive, and Gu Yihu has reached hundreds of thousands!"

"As a result, small money has been abandoned by the common people, and the people have been directly bartered for transactions."

Hearing Xu Jing's words, many people nodded yes.

"Childe's move seems to be inappropriate!"

"Not bad! What Dong Zhuo has done, can there be good things? ”

"I'm afraid that this move will hurt the people in the end!"

Xu Jing was triumphant, he didn't want Liu Mang to easily complete the harvest of himself!

Although he had only been in Yizhou for a year and a half, Liu Zhang rewarded him with a lot of five baht.

Xu Jing's remarks were quickly supported by many officials.

Straight 100 dollars for 5 baht coins, it is clearly to harvest their rhythm.

"Lord Xu, in your opinion, what Dong Zhuo did was all evil?"

"Childe, do you have to follow Dong Zhongyinghu?"

"That's right, Lord Xu keeps saying that it is for the people, why in my opinion, you are greedy for the wealth in your hands?"

Liu Mang raised his eyes to look at everyone and said with a smile: "Princess, I, Liu Changqing, am going to have a currency war today!" ”

"If you go straight to 100 money, Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou will become economic centers!"

"As for Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng, and Xuchang, give me a little bit later!"
