Chapter 288 Casting a straight hundred, setting up an official market, and stabilizing prices
The economic center?
Is it comparable to Chang'an, Luoyang, Xuchang, and Yecheng?
Xu Jing laughed when he heard this, "Childe, it's exaggerated, it's useless!" ”
"Not to mention how different your behavior is from a national thief like Dong Zhuo?"
"Back then, Dong Zhuogui was the prime minister, but he still couldn't make the officials surrender and the people supported him."
Xu Jing's meaning is self-evident.
Even Dong Zhuo, who played the emperor in the palm of his hand, failed to issue a small amount of money.
Not to mention Liu Mang today.
"This old man, it looks a little familiar?"
Liu Mang suddenly realized: "It turns out that on that day, the one who almost climbed over the wall and was arrested was Master Xu!" ”
"Disrespectful, disrespectful! Don't look at Lord Xu's old arms and legs now, the heroic posture of climbing over the wall that day lingers in my mind. ”
Xu Jing was mentioned as a shameful person, and he couldn't help but blush.
"Childe! This is a court dispute, and it has nothing to do with the old man going over the wall! ”
"Oh? Then I have to thank Master Xu! ”
"The son doesn't have to be polite, he is a minister, and it is his duty to speak up and admonish!"
Xu Jing obviously didn't know the consequences of provoking Liu Mang.
Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, there is one who is not afraid of death.
Lu Xun snickered, the old man is going to suffer a lot this time!
"I once remembered that Lord Xu was in Jiaozhou that day, giving advice to Shixie, and crushing our army's military rations with many displaced people."
Liu Mang laughed and said, "I don't know if Lord Xu, do you still have an impression?" ”
If he could, of course Xu Jing wanted to forget that unpleasant memory!
After he gave advice to Shixie, he caused the wealthy families in Jiaozhou to have no homeless people available.
In the end, Shixie's soldiers were defeated, not to mention, but also lost Jiaozhou.
Xu Jing felt ashamed, and was even more afraid that Shixie would trouble him in the future, so he directly took refuge in Liu Zhang.
Who knew that the good times would not last long, and before he could sit in his official position, Liu Zhang stepped down with honor.
The person who once offered advice to deal with it has now become his son.
Fate, it's really wonderful.
"Ahem! The old man is old, and he can't remember some things! ”
"Then I'll help Lord Xu recall."
Liu Mang said with a smile: "Lord Xu is in Jiaozhou, and his heart is in Han!" Tens of thousands of displaced people were provided for our army. ”
"In the end, the land of the Jiaozhou Shi clan was uncultivated, and Shixie even had to pay money to buy homeless people from me."
"Lord Xu Jing is clever, please let me call you a big smart life!"
Great Cong Life?
These three words, in Xu Jing's ears, are so mocking.
"Dad, do you dare to listen to this kind of clever advice?"
Xu Jing scolded secretly: "The shaft mistook me!" ”
After a long time, Liu Mang was reminding Liu Bei that his clever words could never be trusted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the role of the straight hundred coins is to level the prices of all prices and make the officials the official market."
Liu Mang looked at Xu Jing and said helplessly: "It's a pity, some people don't understand!" ”
"The needs of the economic base determine the generation of the superstructure, the nature of the economic base determines the nature of the superstructure, and the change and development of the economic base determines the change and development of the superstructure and its direction."
"The superstructure reacts on the economic base, and this reaction is concentrated in the service of its own economic base."
Xu Jing was confused when he heard it, the conscience of heaven and earth, whether it was family learning or Taixue, had never said anything about the economic foundation and superstructure.
Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Liu Ba and others were eager to try, and they took out small notebooks one after another, ready to record Liu Mang's words.
After all, with Childe, you can learn new things at any time.
"My father has to maintain price stability while issuing direct 100 coins, which is not the same as the serious inflation caused by Dong Zhuo's issuance of small coins!"
"To this end, it is necessary to set up an official market and use administrative means to guarantee the exchange ability of Zhibai money, thus enhancing the confidence of the people in using Zhibai money."
Liu Mang's head is the Tao, and after everyone heard this explanation, they also woke up like a dream.
"My lord, you don't know anything."
Fa Zheng got up and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo issued a small amount of money, so that the people returned to the original state of barter. ”
"Shu has always been in a state of no official currency! Liu Zhang didn't care about this matter at all, which made it very inconvenient for the people to trade! ”
"In my opinion, the people are desperate for a currency with stable value and easy to carry."
Xu Jing was dumbfounded, you Fa Zheng is also a vested interest in five baht money, and now you are actually backwater?
"Fa Zheng, I am willing to dedicate all the five baht money in the family to the treasury and exchange it for Zhibai!"
Fa Zheng bowed and bowed, indicating his attitude.
Meng Da, Fei Guan, Wu Yi, Wu Ban and others, all came out of the ranks, and arched their hands and said: "I, we are willing to follow the example of the law and be filial piety and offer five baht to the treasury!" ”
Xu Jing pointed at everyone angrily, "You...... You guys...... This is nonsense! ”
Liu Mang yawned and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, do you think that the direct hundred dollars are just to harvest your five baht money?" ”
"Small! It's too small! ”
Xu Jing couldn't help but look down at him, who knew that Liu Mang's words changed.
"I'm talking about patterns, not just because! Lord Xu, you are really disrespectful to the old! ”
Xu Jing's old face turned red and glared at Liu Mang, but he didn't know how to fight back.
"Zhibai money will not only be used in Shudi, but also spread to the Central Plains and Jiangdong regions."
"Even the Land of the Western Regions! Everywhere you go, it's all the territory of my Han Dynasty! ”
"My father was known for his righteousness, and his personal prestige was exceeding! Mr. Zhuge governs the country according to law and enforces the law strictly! ”
"The Shu brocade produced in Yizhou is a daily necessity for the upper-class people everywhere!"
"Nowadays, Shu brocade is monopolized by us, so people who want to buy Shu brocade must use straight 100 money!"
Liu Mang's words are in fact to link Zhibaiqian to Shu brocade, which is exactly the same principle as pegging oil to the US dollar.
As long as you want to buy Shu brocade, you must use Zhibai money.
Over time, the straight hundred coins will be spread throughout the Han Dynasty.
When a country has a currency, the power of money inevitably leads to political power.
Liu Mang is playing a big game of chess, but with the eyes of Xu Jing and others, he can't see it at all.
I thought that Liu Mang's move was to fish for the exhaustion of the treasury.
Cast a straight hundred, set up an official city, and stabilize prices!
Liu Mang's economic three-board axe can be described as a move to hit the nail on the head.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, who nodded happily and said with a smile: "The official market mentioned by Gongzi is a place to regulate prices, and the imperial court has regulated prices at the same time as issuing a hundred coins. ”
"The imperial court participates in the control of the economic market, avoids the behavior of profiteers to raise prices, and solves the problem of inflation by balancing prices."
"By the way, you don't understand inflation, Liang explains, it's currency depreciation."
Liu Ba also helped: "You wait for the shaft, you only see the short-term impact of Zhibaiqian!" On the surface, it is the exploitation of five baht money! ”
"Something that is eye-catching! After the Zhibai coin becomes the common currency of the Han Dynasty, the five baht coins of yours will only be reduced to scrap copper and rotten iron! ”
"Childe, Liu Ba is not talented, he is willing to be a pawn of the horse, cast Zhibai, and start a currency war for you!"
