The decentralization of the coinage by the imperial court caused an uproar in the city.

However, the discussion of the people of the city did not have any impact on the promulgation of this decree, and in less than half a month, this decree was implemented, and many courtiers and wealthy people began their own journey of minting money.

Over time, the matter subsided.

Meanwhile.

What happened in Guanzhong also slowly spread to the world.

Jimo.

In a tall house.

Zhang Liang was sitting on the seat, looking at some bamboo slips, frowning from time to time, shaking his head from time to time, nodding from time to time, and mentioning something from time to time, looking at the bamboo slips with all his attention.

Then.

Footsteps rang out outside the door.

Zhang Liang retracted his mind and slowly moved his gaze to the door.

Not much.

Two figures, one in front of the other, entered the house.

Seeing Zhang Liang, the middle-aged man led by him greeted Zhang Liang and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Liang, can you still live in Jimo?" ”

Zhang Liang got up and said, "Thank you Brother Tian Dan for your hospitality." ”

"Zhang Liang thanked you."

Tian Dan laughed, he glanced at Tian Rong on the side, Tian Rong immediately understood, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve, and then handed it to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang did not hesitate.

Directly reached out and took the bamboo slip.

Then he stood there and looked at it carefully.

Read.

Zhang Liang frowned slightly.

He said in a condensed voice: "Qin Ting is really bold. ”

"In order to target the Kanto region, I was willing to give down the right to mint coinage."

Tian Dan nodded and said: "Yes, when I first saw this bamboo slip, I was also stunned for a moment, I really didn't expect that Qin Ting would do such a thing, the right to mint coins, since ancient times, must be in the hands of the imperial court, and must not be left behind, but this time, Qin Ting went against the norm and delegated the right to mint coins." ”

"But it's cheaper, I'll wait."

"I don't have anything else in Qi country, it is more mountainous, not only rich in salt and iron, but also rich in copper ore, before Fusu's hand 'Guanshan Hai', my Tian clan can be described as tossing enough, if my Tian can mint coins by himself, the losses of the past few years will be easily made up, and there will be a lot of surpluses."

"This will be of great benefit to our future recovery."

"Qin Ting finally miscalculated this time!"

Tian Dan looked proud.

After the promulgation of the Guanshanhai policy a few years ago, compared with the other five regions in the Kanto region, the impact of alignment was the greatest.

Their Tian clan also suffered heavy losses and had to survive with their tails, but although they were angry, they didn't dare to say anything, because it was indeed their Qi country that did not save them back then, which led to the destruction of Yan Chu, and also indirectly led to the restoration of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei.

This is the case.

He also knows it.

I don't dare to show my dissatisfaction to the outside world.

Now, with the decentralization of the coinage right by the Qin court, some of the salt ponds and iron ore revenues that his Tian clan had taken away in the past will be able to make up for all the past losses under the control of several copper mines and full exploitation.

This is also a unique advantage.

Tian Rong also smiled and said: "Before, 'Guanshan Hai', I suffered a big loss, and my Tian clan almost didn't catch my breath, but what Qin Ting did in Wei this time was still too domineering and arrogant after all, and now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so I can only use this kind of strong man to break his wrist to ease the conflict with the locality." ”

"But it also made my Tian clan much stronger."

"Haha."

The two Tian families smiled.

Hear the words.

Zhang Liang glanced at the two of them indifferently, but shook his head, he said slowly: "I don't think much, this document from Guanzhong is very clear, Qin Ting did this in order to accelerate the promotion of 'currency unification', which also means that the currencies of the six countries that circulated in the six places in the past will directly become a pile of broken copper and iron." ”

"This decree."

"There are not many scholars, nobles, heroes, and huge riches in the world, and their wealth will be greatly reduced, and these forces were originally in the same queue as us, and now their strength is weakened, doesn't it mean that our strength has also been weakened?"

Listening to Zhang Liang's worries, Tian Dan's eyes were full of disdain.

He didn't care about that.

At the beginning, the 'Guanshan Sea' policy, the Qin court was so aimed at them, these so-called scholars, nobles, and heroes, which one helped them? All of them stood by and watched, even falling into the well, and now that these people were suffering, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, but only a sense of happiness in his heart.

Anyway, they won't be the ones who will suffer.

Tian Rong coughed lightly and said slowly: "What Brother Zhang said is extremely true, but this is a decree issued by the Qin court, how can we easily change it?" ”

"If we can't seize the opportunity to turn the copper ore into money now, won't the loss be even greater? My Tian clan used to be a Qi royal family, and the family wealth was like a mountain, if because of a government decree, the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years turned into ashes, that would be the biggest weakening of our anti-Qin forces. ”

"We and the forces of the six countries share the same weal and woe, why can't the coins minted by my Tian clan be used by other nobles? This is the legal tender of Daqin, and it can be used all over the world. ”

Tian Dan also followed: "Qin Ting is indeed dizzy this time. ”

"Delegating the right to mint coins, this kind of stupid trick, in the past, may also be the first time."

"I know that Brother Zhang Liang has concerns, and he is indeed sincerely planning for the Six Kingdoms, but Great Qin is now powerful, if this move convinces the local government, under the push of the world, we will still stick to the coins of the past, and the coins in our hands will directly become a pile of broken copper and iron."

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice."

"If we don't have enough money and food, how can we pull up the army? How to boost morale? How to fight against the Qin court? ”

"If you have money, you can have a follow-up."

"No money, everything is off."

"Under the suppression of the Qin court, my Tian clan has no strength of one in ten, but there are still a lot of copper mines in my hands, if I can smelt the copper ore into coins, I can easily gather millions, tens of millions, or even tens of thousands, with so much money, why can't I pull up an army of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands?"

"It's hard to say when the world comes."

Now.

Tian Dan is high-spirited.

I can't tolerate him not being so angry.

In the past few years, his Tian clan has lived a really heartwarming life, not only for the Qin court to suppress the target, but also for the rest of the five places secretly excluded, but the situation is like this, and they have to swallow their anger, and now with this decree, the situation has directly turned upside down, in the past, they needed to borrow the power of the other five places, and they survived.

Now the other five lands depend on their faces.

In the future, their Tian clan will have a large number of coins in their hands, and they will easily be able to pull up an army of tens of thousands of people, which is something that the other five places can't do, so in this case, he will naturally have a stiff waist.

The tone of talking to Zhang Liang was also a little arrogant.

Listening to Tian Dan's words, Zhang Liang's brows furrowed even tighter, he could hear it, Tian Dan's words revealed the pride and arrogance, this decree has a great impact on the nobles of the six places, but in comparison, the impact on the Qi land is the least, the Qi land is already mountainous and watery, and the ore mining is developed.

These losses are easily recouped.

Therefore, the two brothers Tian Dan and Tian Rong easily accepted it.

They could accept it so easily, but other nobles not.

Tian Dan now has a kind of rampant villain's ambition, Zhang Liang knows what the reason is, but their enemy should be the Qin court, why are they fighting privately because of some suspicions in the past?

And this is still the case within the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, what about the powerful and huge wealth in the Kanto region?

I'm afraid that the personal quarrel with each other will be even worse.

Come to think of this.

Zhang Liang's eyes couldn't help but darken.

In this kind of situation of calculating each other, dragging each other's feet, and even being happy to see other people unlucky, how easy is it to drag the Qin court down, or even annihilate?

Be silent.

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "What Brother Tian said is extremely true. ”

"It's just that Qin Ting's hand has laid it out, but it has broken the pattern of the world."

"So this hand is not necessarily a stupid move."

"Maybe it's still a good hand."

"It's even wonderful."

"During this time, because of what happened in Wei Di Dangjun, the eyes of the world have gathered, and the officials around the country are watching, and they are all dissatisfied and afraid of the Qin court's domineering behavior.

"If you let it go."

"In between, it's bound to go farther and farther apart."

"It's something we'd love to see."

"That's why."

"In fact, I have always advocated that while the Qin court is confronting the localities, I will make some incidents in various places and further provoke disputes between the two sides, but you are not willing to take risks."

"No matter what."

"The Qin court and the local government are indeed at an impasse."

"If this stalemate continues, the prestige of the Qin court will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and it will become more and more difficult to suppress the place, and the separation between the local government and the Qin court will become more and more serious, which will undoubtedly be a great benefit to us."

"However, the issuance of this instrument has broken this deadlock."

"What do you mean by that?" Tian Dan looked at Zhang Liang.

He still has a lot of respect for Zhang Liang.

This is a wise man.

Therefore, after knowing that Zhang Liang came to Qidi, he not only greeted him personally, but also treated him with courtesy.

In order to win over Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang said calmly: "Qin Ting's appetite is very big this time. ”

"It not only wants to install more officials in Kanto, but also wants to meddle in the economic operation of Kanto, the economy is related to money, and it is also related to the oil and water of many officials, so the local government is very reluctant, and has been fighting silently, the two have been secretly competing, no one is willing to give in, and no one is willing to retreat."

"In addition, Meng Yi acted too cruelly in Dangjun."

"It also scares the place."

"I don't dare to put the reins on myself."

"Now the two are deadlocked, and no one dares to move easily, so the situation briefly fell into a period of calm, and the officials of all parties sent the 'salt and iron' on the county account to the transit warehouse according to the instructions of the imperial court, waiting for the next step of the imperial court."

"And Meng Yi is also waiting for the next step of the imperial court."

"As for what's next, you all know it."

Tian Dan and Tian Rong glanced at each other, and both nodded secretly.

The next step, naturally, is to tear the hole in the Kanto region and let the Qin court further strengthen its control over the Kanto, but with the tragic situation of Dangjun in front of it, how could the local government be willing?

Now that the local government is panicking, the Qin court may cause great turmoil in the local area if it is a little too radical.

So the situation was deadlocked.

Meng Yi did not dare to act rashly, and the local government was unwilling to retreat.

Both sides are putting pressure on each other, trying to force the other party to make concessions, but the Qin court will not give in, this is a matter of the majesty of the imperial court, and it is also a matter of Great Qin's deterrence to the world, and the local area involves such a big interest, how can it be willing to spit out the meat that comes to the mouth?

However, if the stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to the Qin court.

Zhang Liang continued: "With the new decree issued by the Qin court to decentralize the right to mint coins, this deadlock has been broken, and in the past, the two sides were unwilling to retreat, that is, because the interests involved were too great, and no one was willing to give in, but now the Qin court took the initiative to give steps, and the benefits given were much more than the money in the past salt and iron business. ”

"The money comes faster and more steadily."

"Under such circumstances, how can the local government not be shaken?"

"And once there is a wavering."

"The Kanto region, which was originally cemented together by interests, suddenly reverted to scattered sand."

"The Qin court's rectification of the Kanto region can still continue to advance, and under the internal struggle for power and profit within the Kanto, it will only be encroached upon by the Qin court step by step and broken one by one."

"The benefits are moving."

"Qin Ting obviously knows this."

"If I hadn't guessed wrong, the policy of delegating coinage rights would have been planned by the Qin court a long time ago."

"This is the moment I was waiting for."

"It's just that when I say this, I'm afraid not many people will believe it, because the right to mint money involves the power of the monarch, and the first emperor is a person who loves power, and he will never easily let go of power unless he has to."

"This also means."

"Through this period of pulling and stalemate."

"The Qin court has been able to roughly understand the attitude of various places in the Kanto region towards the imperial court."

"I also know that those counties have the most fierce confrontation against the Qin court."

"From beginning to end, this is a game of chess, we are all chess pieces, and now Qin Ting just puts all the chess pieces on the chessboard, and Qin Ting's control of the Kanto region is constantly advancing, and the speed is getting faster and faster."

"We're running out of time."

"If we continue to let it go like this, when the Qin court completely controls the local government, it will be the time when I wait for the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to escape."

Zhang Liang's eyes were solemn.

He sighed in his heart.

I just feel a little weak.

He could see it all, but he couldn't change it.

Because that person is not a person or ten people who calculate, but uses interests as a trap, calculating the minds of all parties, in the face of big interests, it can indeed make people unite for a short time, but once it involves greater interests, the forces that were originally united will be dismembered in an instant.

There are 42 counties and more than 700 counties in the world.

In all counties and counties, there are strong and powerful people and scholars from all over the country, so many people, so many thoughts, thousands of people and thousands of faces, it is impossible to really let them be unanimous with the outside world.

A loose alliance, destined to shatter.

This is also inevitable. (End of chapter)
