Chapter 289 The name is the common people, but the actual serf
With the strong support of Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba, it is imperative for Liu Mang to change five baht to one hundred.
Liu Bei nodded, using the government to intervene in the market can indeed stabilize prices and avoid the existence of profiteers.
The government's credit has risen, and at the same time, it can also make Zhibaiqian more valuable.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in fact, they all experienced the so-called monetary reform.
One of the most successful is the straight 100 money.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo took the lead in issuing small money, and the result was a rapid depreciation, which led to soaring prices.
Sun Quan issued a large amount of money, but it took eight years to abolish it directly.
Without him, the people of Dongwu suffered greatly and directly chose to abandon it.
As for Cao Wei, he abolished the five baht for six years and chose to return to the original barter.
Only Shu Han Zhibai was continuously used after it was issued, and it was even used in Wei and Wu, and even in the Western Regions, so Shu Han Zhibai can be regarded as a conscience currency!
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang and others are limited by the times and don't know the power of currency!
Liu Mang plans to play a big game of chess, based on the Shu Han regime, to build Zhibaiqian into an international currency.
When the time is ripe, they will be able to leverage the economic levers of Cao Wei and Sun Wu.
Surrender without a fight!
Of course, the first step is the most difficult.
It is necessary for the Shu Han regime to establish credit and let the people use it with confidence, so that the Zhibai money can be truly circulated.
The purchase of Shu brocade can only be settled with Zhibai money, and it will also flow into the Central Plains and Dongwu regions in disguise.
Liu Bei took a deep breath, got up and said, "The matter of a hundred dollars will be handed over to the military advisor and the beginning!" ”
"If the straight hundred coins can only circulate in the whole territory of my Han Dynasty, the two of them should be the first to work!"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Ba gladly accepted, especially Liu Ba, Liu Mang's currency war and economic ambitions made him excited.
In the future, Liu Ba will be a literati to leverage the world's economic lifeline!
"My lord."
Xu Jing stepped out and said with a smile: "As the son said, the straight hundred coins can be cast and used." ”
"However, how should the 300,000 people in Hanzhong be resettled?"
"Old and talented, it is recommended that the lord follow Cao Cao's strategy of Tuntian, and let 300,000 people live in Tuntian on the Chengdu Plain!"
Emulating Cao Cao's Tuntian?
As we all know, Cao Cao was able to rise rapidly, and Tuntian contributed a lot.
It's just that Tuntian is really good to the people?
Zhuge Liang frowned and said nothing, his face showing displeasure.
Fa Zheng and Lu Xun also showed contempt, this Xu Jing wanted to show himself too much.
"Lord Xu, you are a young man, don't always think about showing yourself."
Liu Mang spoke directly, without giving the world's famous man Xu Jing any face.
"Childe! The strategy of Tuntian made Cao Cao rise in the Central Plains! ”
"If the lord wants to compete with Cao Cao for the world, Tuntian is imperative!"
Xu Jing frowned and said: "The old man is not talented, but he is also very good, and he is willing to give advice to the lord!" ”
Liu Mang walked towards Xu Jing and sighed: "Lord Xu, you have never understood the difference between my father and Cao Cao, Sun Quan and others. ”
"They can oppress the people for the sake of their hearts! But my father could have crossed the river with his people in order to protect the people, putting them in danger. ”
"Lord Xu, you don't know the truth about Cao Cao's Tuntian, do you?"
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, Cao Cao's Tuntian can indeed fill the granary, but the people of Mintun are like insects, which can be described as quite miserable!" ”
Zhang Fei was puzzled: "Second brother, why do you say that? ”
Guan Yu got up and said with a smile: "Mang'er, tell them the truth about Cao Cao's Tuntian!" ”
Liu Mang nodded and looked at everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must think that the strategy of Tuntian can make Cao Cao strong, so it must be implemented."
"But you haven't found out that Tuntian actually treats the people as serfs!"
"This is also the reason why the territory occupied by Cao Cao often has rebellions, and they have never treated the people as human beings!"
Liu Mang sighed and said: "The grain harvest in Tuntian is shared with the government. ”
"Those who use official cattle are six officials and four people; Those who use private cattle are divided between the government and the people. ”
"The people who participated in Cao Cao's Mintun need to hand over five or six tenths of the harvest, simply put, if they harvest 1,000 catties of grain, they need to hand over 500 or 600 catties to Cao Cao."
Call......
Everyone, couldn't help but gasp, five or six out of ten acres of land were collected by Cao thieves, no wonder people's grain accumulated so fast!
What's the difference between this and robbing?
Liu Mang looked at Xu Jing and said indifferently: "More than that, in order to prevent the people of Tuntian from escaping, Cao Cao formulated a harsh punishment. ”
"If the people who were conscripted into Tuntian escaped, even if they turned themselves in, they would be killed!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the status of the people of Tuntian under the military control of General Diannong Zhonglang."
Liu Bei only felt heartache, but he didn't expect the people under Cao Cao's rule to be exploited so badly!
This is also why Liu Mang's household contract responsibility system implemented in Jiaozhou is so popular with the people.
There is no need for the so-called pawn farmer to urge, and the people have enough enthusiasm for production.
Not only that, but the cattle will be used by the people for free, and the people only need to make up for it with grain or money in three or five years.
Deng Ai and Huangshan, the pair, did a remarkable job in Tuntian, Jiaozhou.
Unless Liu Mang has a brain disease, he will choose to use Cao Cao's Mintun.
"Cao Cao's name is Tuntian, but in fact, he treats the people as serfs, Xu Jing wants my father to do this, isn't it retrograde?"
Liu Mang pointed at Xu Jing angrily, the latter was so angry that he didn't know how to refute it for a while!
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Duke Xu, my son-in-law is in Jiaozhou, and the field policy implemented far exceeds that of Cao Cao. ”
"The fields in Chengdu are now in the hands of the local scholars."
"Wouldn't Duke Xu's move make the lord contradict the local scholars?"
If you think about it, 300,000 people will have to consume a lot of food alone.
These are the people, not the outcasts.
If Liu Bei doesn't settle them well, will Zhang Lu be willing?
Maybe as soon as you raise your arms, there will be a Heavenly Master Dao uprising, which will plunge Yizhou into war again.
Therefore, Zhang Lu's 300,000 people must be properly resettled, and they cannot be directly treated as displaced people like Xu Jing.
"Duke Xu, the matter of Tuntian still needs to be considered in the long run."
"The people of Hanzhong are temporarily settled in Luocheng and other places around Chengdu."
"Mang'er, the strategy of the field, discuss it with Mr. Zhuge and Mr. Chuchu."
Liu Ba was overjoyed when he heard this, Liu Bei really didn't care about his past suspicions, and reused him!
"Alas! The father is not powerful, and the son has no temper! ”
Liu Mang disliked it, he didn't do any of the work that should be done.
Xu Jing saw that he had offered advice many times, but none of them were adopted by Liu Bei, so he was so angry that he said bluntly: "Lord! The old man is scheming and can't work for you! ”
"Please resign and return home, and I hope the lord will agree!"
Xu Jing is conceited as a famous person in the world, why do you Liu Xuande have to speak out to keep it, right?
It's just that Xu Jing waited for a long time, and no one in the hall spoke!
