Chapter 148: Chen Yuanda's Observations

For Liu Tai, it was enough for the Salt Hall to settle in Shile's sphere of influence.

I don't plan to use these salt halls to play any tricks, because the salt tickets circulating in the salt hall can become the best props in themselves.

Liu Tai has unparalleled confidence that these salt stamps will gradually become the main negotiable instruments in the area where Schle is located.

There is no way, at this time, the whole society is in turmoil, and the five-baht currency that was finally minted in the Han Dynasty was also hobbed by the various coinage behaviors of the regimes one after another in the Three Kingdoms era, after all, for all kinds of regimes, they are not concerned about the people, but to see if the currency they mint can benefit from the hands of the people.

And the people are not really stupid, it's just that there are not as many people as there are above in the routine, but they have suffered a lot in the routine, and the people naturally said that they don't play anymore.

When the people instinctively avoid the use of various currencies, the entire private economy inevitably degenerates to the extent of material exchange.

Even this kind of trade in goods continued until the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty built the Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the currency in the middle and upper was still a variety of different silk fabrics.

The salt tickets provided by Liu Tai can solve the pain points in the hearts of the people very well.

Don't say it, at least when the people can smoothly exchange for salt from the salt hall, so that the salt ticket has enough credibility guarantee, the small salt ticket will naturally be able to circulate in the salt hall.

As for the large salt bills, they could become a unified currency for local merchants to go to the mutual markets in the areas controlled by Yuanyan, and even to the mutual markets in the areas where Liu Tai's Qingzhou was located.

At the same time, in order to deal with the run on the long-distance salt hall by Liu Tai, Liu Tai also stipulated that after the salt hall saved more than half of the salt, the sale was restricted, and each person sold a certain share every day, the main purpose was to delay the time, so that the ship could only send salt over.

Under Liu Tai's conscious planning, the salt ticket, which can be exchanged for a sufficient amount of salt as long as it can go to the salt hall, began to circulate out of Qingzhou to Jizhou.

Even if those runners didn't find the benefits of the salt ticket transaction at the beginning, they ran to Qingzhou a lot, and they would naturally understand the payment role played by this kind of credit voucher in the transaction.

Liu Tai understands that even if he masters Shiler's financial system, it does not mean that Shile will let it be kneaded by himself.

After all, if we want to maintain financial hegemony, we must first have military hegemony.

If you don't defeat Shi Le, this trick will cause chaos to Shi Le at most, and they can even eat people, so what is chaos!

However, with this trick that can draw salary at any time, Liu Tai has at least one more layer of certainty when solving Shile.

So don't care what conditions Yang Man negotiated with Diao Ying, as long as Shi Le dares to let the salt hall settle down, then Liu Tai will have the opportunity.

Other forces want to learn from Liu Tai's method of replacing salt with bills, and of course they can do it.

First, it needs a guarantee that it can be paid almost indefinitely, and there must be no break in the capital chain.

This alone has stuck many bills that want to simulate salt stamps, after all, salt is really an indispensable consumer product for everyone!

If it was prosperous, grain and cloth might be able to make corresponding bills, and if it was in the Song Dynasty, coal or tea could be used instead.

But now it's a troubled time, and if you really say it, only the cloth can make a cloth ticket, maybe it can compete with Liu Tai's salt ticket.

As for the food stamps, looking at the current posture of natural and man-made disasters every year, I am afraid that I will be squeezed to death back then.

There is no such problem with salt at all, how much do you want, Liu Tai said that he will get as much as he can for you by drying salt.

Even Liu Tai felt that he should occasionally make some explosive points, engage in unsalable salt, and help dump.

Of course, even if others really find the corresponding tools and can make corresponding bills against salt like Liu Tai, even if they are created by people across the ages like Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty, they have to face the second problem - restraining greed.

A person who understands this operation is basically equivalent to a money printing machine, but he must understand that inflation and deflation require him to restrain his desire to print money.

If you can't do this, anyway, the whole world is waiting for Eagle Sauce to open the banquet, and someone dares to do this in this era, Liu Tai said that his euphorbia is really hungry and thirsty.

And Yang Man dealt with the relationship with Shi Le, while Liu Tai went to welcome the new Qingzhou Thorn Chen Yuanda.

To tell the truth, Chen Yuanda didn't come to Zhang Yang when he came, so he took a boat and followed the Yellow River to the boundary of Qingzhou.

Chen Yuanda did not immediately send someone to inform Liu Tai, but chose to carefully observe Qingzhou with his own eyes.

To be honest, originally in Chen Yuanda's impression, even though the Qingzhou boundary at this time was not a poor livelihood, it was somewhat sad.

After all, Liu Tai has always shown that he is a guy who is particularly good at fighting, and he is still from a rogue background, how can such a person govern the country.

Not to mention that Liu Tai just had a fight with Wang Jun, how bleak it will be here!

Chen Yuanda was still thinking about the tragic appearance of Qingzhou in his heart, but when he really arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou and got off the boat, Chen Yuanda saw a rather lively port, the ships were flowing on both sides of the Yellow River, a large number of goods were unloaded from the port, and there were various street vendors selling goods.

It can only be said that it is really a quite harmonious and lively scene, even more energetic than the capital of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

Chen Yuanda sat in the green building tile house to experience the local customs.

At this time, the Qinglou Washer was full of guests, and Chen Yuanda sat down with his servants and quickly listened to the passionate "Burning Red Cliffs".

I have to say that because the Han Dynasty is now orthodox in Shu Han, this kind of propaganda and propaganda Zhuge Liang's story of burning Chibi by the east wind is a politically correct track, which made Chen Yuanda nod again and again and was very satisfied.

In fact, after Xu made the opera at the request of Liu Tai, Liu Tai took the lead in learning various operas based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms for the first time, telling the story from the Taoyuan Three Knots to the Starfall Wuzhangyuan.

As for the later story, Liu Tai didn't participate in it anymore.

There is no way, the first half of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms writes about Guan Yun Changzhong's liver and courage, and the second half of the book writes about Zhuge Kongming's ambition unpaid, although the others are also dazzling, but after all, they are still overshadowed by the demeanor of these two people, Liu Tai naturally focuses on the portrayal of these two people.

Through opera, it is very important to spread the culture of the revival of the Han Dynasty and increase the sense of identity within one's sphere of influence.

And Chen Yuanda has never heard of this kind of art even in Pingyang City, and now watching the actors above perform a cappella one by one, he can't help but feel a little inexplicable touch in his heart, and he rewarded them when he left.

Chen Yuanda took a deep breath, to be honest, Chen Yuanda didn't know how this ferry in Qi County was operating.

But Chen Yuanda knows that if this ferry port is not well managed, there will be no such extravagant place as Qinglou Washe!

Coming out of the Qinglou tile house, Chen Yuanda continued to walk in the direction of Linzi.

Soon Chen Yuanda saw that there were people on the road who began to beat with shovels and shovels, and they were in full swing one by one.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yuanda couldn't help but say to the person who was in charge of management next to him:

"This Langjun, these people are in the service, shouldn't they be farming in the fields at this time?"

The man in charge of management glanced at Chen Yuanda, felt that this guy was dressed expensively, and he should have a lot of background, and said:

"Your Excellency is from other counties, our main cultivation here in Qingzhou is winter wheat, which was harvested almost last month.

In the next few months until the end of July, most of the people were slack, so Liu Qingzhou hired everyone to repair the roads.

Although the money is not much, in the end, the people are happy to work as long as they are free! ”

The people are naturally happy, in order to ensure that the people can work hard, Liu Tai guaranteed breakfast, lunch and day, the first two meals are porridge and steamed bread to be full, as for the day, mainly mung bean soup with steamed bread or boiled noodles.

As for dinner, the people are basically allowed to go back to eat by themselves, but as long as they work for a week, they will be given salt tickets.

This makes the people in the slack time happy to work,

After all, for the people, there is nothing to do in the slack anyway, so what is wrong with being able to work to subsidize the family.

Of course, not everyone can come to work, and first of all, it must be someone who has already completed the conscription last winter.

Because in the winter, it snows in the north, and if these people are allowed to come out to serve in the conscription, they will die, and at most they will let the government come forward to sweep the snow, and they will not be allowed to come out to work.

The real work is when they are at home, because the winter wheat has almost entered the stage of stopping, and it is enough to go to the field every day to see it, which must be relatively easy.

At this time, Liu Tai would send some tasks that required them to assemble by hand, and let the people assemble them.

And these people are also very calculating, they naturally want to sow seeds in late autumn, serve in winter, harvest in late spring, and work in summer, so as to maximize their own cognitive wealth.

Especially in this world, there are not a few peaceful days, and everyone instinctively wants to save a little ration and use it in times of crisis.

It's as if after three years of the epidemic, the whole society has returned to rational consumption and advocated cost-effectiveness.

After experiencing various disasters such as drought, locust plague, and military plague, the people who survived one by one all had a somewhat calculating taste.

Counting how many days of rations they had to leave so that they wouldn't starve to death, they were literally almost starving.

Therefore, the number of harvest benefits that can be brought by winter wheat planting is secondary.

For ordinary people, the greater benefit for them is that they can occasionally work as a temporary worker in the road construction team, earn a day's food, and even have a salt ticket after a week's work.

Although these rewards are really not much, even if they have a little more income every year, these people are also willing to eat.

Therefore, in the winter, they work hard to serve the conscription, because even temporary workers are conditional, and priority is given to the people who have completed the conscription, and you have not completed the conscription, so what benefits do you enjoy here.

For Liu Tai, at least he can't guarantee that the people will be forced to work if they have enough materials to protect them from the cold in winter.

Therefore, in addition to establishing a professional conscription team by himself, he must find another way to mobilize the common people to join in the road construction work.

Letting them work in winter is naturally a matter of life, but if it is to be replaced by summer, let Meng Dong's medical camp prepare a medicinal soup to prevent heat and prepare a medical camp for each section of the project.

The mined coal, except for those that are pulled over to forge steel, is basically pulled here to boil water.

In order to avoid the people from getting sick as much as possible, even at noon, mung bean soup and other fire-reducing soup will be added to this meal every time.

All in all, now in the end is gradually entering the Xiaoice period, so in the summer I can encourage the people to take a top, as for the winter to save it, I don't want to bear the curse of grass and people's lives.

Under Liu Tai's policies, summer has become the busiest time for the local people.

The common people may not see the long term, but when the upper echelons are willing to give them a small concession so that they can see the hope of the future, these farmers will definitely not spare their labor, or they will wait for this time.

Ordinary people never cared about being called human resources, nor did they care about selling their labor, and even wished that the upper elite could give up a little more profit, they wanted to exchange hard work for hard work, and realize wealth with hard work.

What Liu Tai is doing now is consciously transferring the resources in his hands to these people to improve their enthusiasm for work.

After all, in this era, it is a matter of course for the imperial court to let the common people serve the conscription, and the people need to be responsible for the food themselves, and as for the so-called work for a week, they still want salt tickets, let alone think about it.

Now that Liu Tai has put it bluntly, he only prepares food for these temporary workers to eat while working, as well as an inexhaustible salt ticket for himself, which is almost as light as a feather for Liu Tai.

But Liu Tai gave up such a small benefit, and for these people, they really felt the beauty brought by Liu Tai's rule over them.

A kind of hard work can obtain the beauty of wealth, and the beauty of being able to be safe, even if you are a slave.

Therefore, the people of Qingzhou are quite recognized by Liu Tai.

Because Liu Tai's policy makes them feel that they have a head start and confidence in their future life, and the more troubled the times, the more important confidence is.

When Chen Yuanda came to Qingzhou, he was more or less still thinking about how he should balance Liu Tai and how to seize power Liu Tai, even if he couldn't seize power, he was thinking about how he should scold Liu Tai.

But now passing through such a county as Qi County, Chen Yuanda was a little silent at the moment.

He felt that compared to himself, who was being belittled because of Liu Cong's arrogance and lasciviousness, he didn't expect that Liu Tai, a martial artist he had always looked down on, had quietly governed Qingzhou like this.

With a somewhat heavy heart, Chen Yuanda came to Linzi and came to Liu Tai's core sphere of influence.

At this moment, Liu Tai was respectfully ten miles outside Linzi City, waiting for Chen Yuanda to come with a smile on his face.

After the next chapter is a little more certain, don't wait any longer, read it tomorrow.
